After I left the forest with Ner, I planned my next move

Getting closer to Ner

How do you get close to others?

Well...I don't know either

I lived alone for most of my life, and rarely socialized with others

I have no one I can call a friend other than Lumbert, and that friendship did not end well

After I started wandering in the multiple worlds, I kept a certain distance between myself and others. I could not trust anyone.

And I certainly cannot be emotionally attached to anyone, because I cannot bear such a heavy burden that could drag me down at any moment.

The closest person I had was the person who trained me, although he did not consider me as his apprentice, I considered him my master.

But I don't think I'll have a big problem getting close to someone like Ner

She is strong and has some intelligence when it comes to fighting

But this does not mean that she has social intelligence, so I will try to use some simple methods as a first step

After a few words about Ner being my first friend and after I gave her the cores of the monsters we hunted in the forest, I noticed a change in Ner's feelings.

She looked at me differently

"..." Is it that simple?

I thought it would be difficult and that it might take a long time for me to gain her trust, but after a few words she was convinced

Looking at her innocent smile, I began to doubt my decision for a moment

"..." Did I make the right decision by approaching this simple-minded girl?

But I couldn't turn my face so rudely, so I decided to continue with my plan

Then Alfred arrived at our place. This was fast. I thought I would have more time to talk to Ner

Only minutes had passed since we left the forest. The forest guards must have informed him of my location

Looking at his pathetic state, I felt a little guilty. He must have been spending the last two days looking for me.

Alfred grabbed my shoulders and then fell to his knees

I tried to help him up. "Alfred, your suit is going to get dirty..."

"Young Master, do you want to cause this old man a heart attack..?" There were tears in the corners of Alfred's eyes

" this...". I avoided his gaze and tried to change the subject. "Alfred, let me introduce you to my new friend."

"friend!..". A shocked expression appeared on Alfred's face. He looked at Ner and his shock increased as he screamed. " girl?.."

Why on earth are you so shocked about me making a friend?

Alfred's shock turned to doubt. He approached me and whispered anxiously. "Young Master, you are not planning to do the thing I am thinking of."

I could understand the meaning of Alfred's look, I responded in a helpless tone. "We're friends. She helped me hunt monsters. I don't have any strange thoughts about Ner."

"I can feel comfortable in this situation..." Alfred sighed in relief

"..." What kind of person does he think I am?

I sighed and turned to Ner. "How about you eat with me at my house?"

"Huh?.." Ner stuttered at first, but then nodded

----------------

Alfred was driving the limousine, while glancing at Alexander and Ner from time to time

He initially suspected that Alexander might have some bad ideas

But Alfred quickly calmed down. Although Alexander was doing a lot of stupid things these days, he didn't do anything that directly harmed others. All he did was cause annoyance to the servants.

Lucas, who is Alexander's younger brother, was a womanizer who flirted with girls everywhere, while Alexander was the secretive type who was not good at dealing with others.

So unlike Lucas, who was well-known and had many friends, Alexander spent most of his time inside the palace, and had almost no friends.

That's why Alfred wasn't worried that Alexander wanted to take advantage of this girl inappropriately

He looked intently at Alexander and Ner who were talking and laughing with each other

Could Alexander find someone he could consider a friend after these years of loneliness?

Alfred gradually felt relieved, and continued driving the car quietly

Ner was looking at the table full of food

Alexander picked up the fork and knife. "Please feel comfortable, consider this place like your home."

Alexander had all the servants leave the room so that Ner would feel comfortable while she ate

Ner swallowed a quantity of saliva while looking at the food cautiously. But in the end, she lost and could not suppress her appetite, and she began to eat.

Alexander looked at her with a smile. He knew very well that Ner was a food lover, just like him

So she cannot suppress her desire to eat this delicious food

Eat all this food, my little girl, eat all you want... Alexander looked at Ner, who was immersed in eating

-----------------

Ner and Alexander were drinking tea in the library

"This library is larger than the city library..." Ner was fascinated by the Ford family's extensive library

Alexander smiled and did not reply

Ner's body began to feel tired after this fatty meal, but she tried not to show it

"Do you want to sleep at my house?" Alexander laughed when he saw Ner's tired eyes

" Do not bother me..". Ner blushed and looked away shyly

"I will have one of the servants drive you to your home."

"There's no need for that. I..." Ner raised her hands and tried to politely decline

But Alexander interrupted her. "You are very tired. What will happen if someone tries to assault you? I am the one who invited you to my house. I will regret it for the rest of my life if anything happens to you after you leave my house.."

"this...". Ner smiled nervously, she didn't know how to respond to that statement

Alexander assigned one of the servants to accompany Ner to her home

Ner looked at Alexander before she got into the car. Alexander was standing in front of the palace gate and waved his hand at her with a gentle smile

Ner smiled as she waved goodbye, then she got into the car
