Chapter 41: Really!
Caleb looked towards Lela and smirked a goading visage and she pushed hard against the massive trunks what you could call Rea's arms, it was like a child she was hugging a porcelain doll.
Looking up to Rea's face she had no visual sign the restaining cost any effort , scary.
But neither the less she stopped women turning him into her pincushion and he smiled at her with genuine relief, Rea replied the same which felt unsettlingly innocent.
After a few silent moments and murmuring and Lela's eyes meeting with Rea and then meeting with Caleb staring daggers lela slumped and she was let go and hmphhh of defeat was let out from her lungs.
Looking back he saw Marcus, the knight's armour glistened and Caleb could not help but think how impractical that hulk of metal is in the forest, looks like this group lacks a few mental faculties he thought to himself.
Hoping the blond had some faculties in the head he looked towards where she was, she was there in front of him with a mere meter separation, startled he flinched back
'System how the fuck did this little gremlin shit get there '
[Gremelins are small and sneaky, like this human, Connect the dots]
"Hey, your our guide now, do you want to read this books with me "
Now apprehensive he saw a book which he thought was a book of magic on her waist was actually some sort of story, hopefully, it was not a picture book or it would be that maybe only John and Lela would have any mental ability.
Caleb grabbed a hold of it and opened it and looked at the first line and looked up from the book and face dragged down into a slump ,
'
"OH im so sorry ,so sorry , please forgive me "
Lela burst out laughing while Ellie tried to apologize
'System did you turn off the language translation '
[No but actually yes , maybe you could teach yourself how to talk by using the skill to translate?
obviously, it will take a lot of effort but you can do it!]
Caleb did not look amused.
"When we stop on the travels into the forest would you want me to read it to you, maybe it can help you learnt to read and maybe you could eventually talk"
[Or have the gremlin teach you]
"Stop it your just bothering him...
Caleb realized looking at the group's reaction this little one was going to bothering him a lot so might as well give in now
"But...."
"Please for....
Clabe shook his head put his hand up palm up facing the knight to silence him
Caleb closed the book and gave it back and smiled and then nodded to accept his fate.
"You want me to read it to you, really "
Caleb Nodded again slowly so it was seen
Jumping in the air Ellie shouted
"YES"
followed by 4 different tones in unison
"REALLY!"
"Don't be so loud in here, get out before i need to get the broom to shoo you away"
Marcus quickly pivoted and bowed apologetically to 90 degrees and
"Sor.. "
Crack
"FUUUUU"
Rea quickly covered Marcuse's mouth and hefted him up on his shoulders and walked towards the exit all the rest looked at this like it was normal, all Caleb could think was, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK just happened.
After that quickly the whole group filtered out and Caleb stood there in the church and looked back at the granny and bowed
The grannies eyes had a look in them of good luck, your gonna fucking need it
Caleb nodded as if getting the message through her eyes.
"Go on ,you don't want to lag behind do we , Bring me a rabbit"
Caleb thought about abandoning the quest for his sanity.
[A man who breaks his promise words are worthless]
'i cant even speech, my words are more than worthless'
Caleb looked up and said inside his mind "FUCK IT"
He ran after the rabble of misfits
