"These are the clothes I wore when I went into the forest. They need to be washed."
"Do the laundry, understand?" Annie said.
She should understand; she was taught that.
Arya shook her head, then took the coat from Annie's hand, opened it, and draped it over Annie's shoulders.
She propped herself up on the bed with both hands, leaned her head over, sniffed An Yi, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "Mmm!"
An Yi: "..."
He silently took off his coat and then casually tossed it into the dirty laundry basket beside him.
"Meow--!"
Arya rushed over to catch him, then returned to the bedside with a confused and sad expression, looking as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
"Don't want to?" she asked, her delicate brows furrowed.
"The clothes are dirty and need to be washed," An Yi said calmly.
"Hmm..." Arya hugged the clothes that were covered in her own scent, her head drooping sadly, her tail tip swishing back and forth.
Orcs are also hygienic; they will take a bath every day if conditions permit, and of course, they will also wash their clothes.
However, they usually just wet their clothes in water and wring them out, without paying much attention to making them clean.
They like to leave their scent on their belongings, such as clothes, bedding, and even furniture. They feel uncomfortable living in places without their own scent.
So the first thing Arya did after getting her own room was to roll around on the floor.
In addition, they will leave their scent on relatives or loved ones.
It means rubbing your hair on someone's head, since hair is the easiest way to retain a scent without being picked up by other scents.
Giving An Yi clothes that smell of her own scent is actually a way of expressing her affection for him and wanting him to keep things with her.
Of course, it's not the kind of affection between lovers, but rather the affection one has for a benefactor.
An Yi didn't know this at first, but he understood when he smelled Aria's scent on him.
It's not that Arya's clothes had any strange smell; human sense of smell can't detect the unique scent of each orc.
But--!
Humans must have their own rules!
Clothes need to be washed when they get dirty!
Arya thought that Anyi didn't like her smell, which was why she was disappointed.
Being told the taste is unpalatable... that's really hurtful!
However, Arya wasn't entirely unprepared for this to happen.
She knew this was just wishful thinking on her part; what more could she ask for? (Temple)
Ultimately, An Yi had no reason to accept the offer of kindness...
"What about your people? How are they?" An Yi asked.
Arya was stunned for a moment, then searched her mind for a long time for how to describe it, finally clenching her fists and placing them in front of her face: "Waaaaah...waaaah..."
Understand? "
An Yi: "Are you crying?"
Arya shook her head: "No, no! Ah... it's not crying, it's..."
She didn't quite know how to describe the feeling.
An Yi: "Are you very sad?"
"S...hiss...Fragrant Heart?" Arya asked, puzzled.
This word doesn't apply when helping with cooking, because the ingredients are emotionally stable and don't get upset. q
"It's just... my heart aches." An Yi placed her hand on her chest.
"My heart...it hurts...ah! Mmmmm!" Aria nodded vigorously, "My heart aches!"
"Your people are heartbroken, and then what are they doing now?" An'i asked.
“What to do… eat, sleep,” Arya replied.
"You haven't done anything wrong, have you?" Annie continued to ask.
Arya shook her head: "No."
An Yi slept all afternoon, but was still a little worried that the orcs might lose their composure and try to run into the forest to rescue people or something.
Because those orcs who went back might have safe families, but for those who didn't go back... it's hard to say what might happen to them.
Although the returning orcs said they would take care of their families for a while, who knows what will happen to those goblins?
If goblins want to kill their families, they can just do it.
Suddenly, Aria remembered something, picked up her coat and handed it to An Yi, saying earnestly, "You, don't, I, Xiang Xin."
"It needs washing." An Yi took it and tossed it into the laundry basket.
"Meowh ...
……
When Annie met up with Lycorina, she learned that Aria had gone out of her way to thank every hero who had participated in the operation.
Knowing she was sleeping, I made sure to come last, but she fell asleep while I was waiting.
The other heroes also slept, but not for long. According to Lycorina, everyone is awake now, except for An and Milu.
Annie felt a pang of emotion, wondering if she could already be compared to that Sandman.
After a quick dinner, it was already dark.
Because they had many questions to ask the beastmen, Annie and Lycorina, along with Aria, headed to the beastmen's temporary shelter.
As soon as they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw a group of orcs sitting around a campfire, on which sat a pot filled with fragrant meat broth.
The broth was bubbling and boiling, but no orcs went to scoop it up. Everyone was staring at the pot, lost in thought.
Seeing their melancholy expressions, Lycorina almost couldn't bear to disturb them.
"How about we let them rest for another night?" Lycorina tugged at An's sleeve.
“I think they’ve had enough rest,” Annie said.
"But……"
"We need to understand the situation of their family members before we can come up with a rescue plan."
"You've rested enough, and so have I. Now's not the time to stare blankly at the soup pot," Annie said.
“…Hmm!” Lycorina didn’t say anything more.
The orcs' ears all turned slightly towards An'i and his companions, clearly having noticed their arrival, but they couldn't understand what they were saying and had no intention of turning back.
The footsteps drew closer, and An Yi stood behind the orcs, speaking:
"I apologize for interrupting you all so suddenly. To get straight to the point, what is the current situation of your families in the Goblin Empire?"
Arya understood very little, but she roughly knew they were asking about the orcs' families, and she also heard the word "goblin," so she translated:
"How are everyone's families doing in the Goblin Empire?"
The beastmen all frowned.
Good? Good my ass!
They escaped, but their families didn't. How can they be okay?
"Sigh..." an orc sighed, "Good, still alive."
Hearing this, the beastmen's hearts sank.
Living...who knows if I'm even truly alive now.
They dared not think any further.
Arya translated, "He's not dead."
Lycorina: "Isn't there any more important information... cough cough! Situation! Situation!"
Um... that's it..."
Lycorina couldn't think of any words for a moment, and she was anxious and didn't know how to say it.
"Forget it! Let's just draw a diagram!"
……
At night, all of the Sherry family's children were asleep.
He sat alone in front of the cell door of the underground cell, looking at the goblin centurion guarding the front, and sighed inwardly.
Each family lived in a separate cell, making it difficult for them to care for the wives and children of other members of their clan.
Moreover, when hunting is not taking place, goblins guard the prison gates every day.
These simple wooden fences couldn't stop them, but...ba...this is the heart of the Goblin Empire. ¢^→〕
If you try to escape, you will be immediately besieged by thousands of goblins.
The probability of escape is probably zero.
Chapter 29 Then there's no need to take off your clothes! (4k)
After much effort, they finally obtained information about the beastmen's families from them.
The matter can be described as simple in some ways, but also quite complicated in others.
Because Arya was unable to convey information accurately, a considerable amount of communication was ineffective.
Whether it's what An and Yi said, or what the beastmen said, Arya's meaning can only be translated to about 30%.
but……!
The human race still has experts!
