Admitting one's mistakes?
It's a difficult thing for everyone.
However, 'everyone' here doesn't include elves.
"I understand."
Frieren thought for a moment, then seriously squeezed the old woman's hand before walking outside.
"I'll go apologize to Fern right now."
"It's true that my jealousy made Fern angry."
the old woman smiled contentedly, her eyes filled with admiration.
However, she didn't skimp on the necessary reminders.
"Don't forget to apologize to that Yulian."
"He's probably feeling very upset too."
"Alright~"
Frieren's voice came from outside, sounding a bit distant already.
"Fern?"
At the entrance to the mountain path, Frieren stopped.
After all, the person she was looking for was right in front of her.
"Madam Frieren..."
Fern clasped her hands in front of her, feeling a bit constrained.
Yulian told her to reconcile with Madam Frieren, but it was too embarrassing!
How should she even start?
Fern's face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look directly at Frieren.
Moreover, she wasn't even ready yet!
Why did Madam Frieren appear here!
"Madam Frieren, actually, I—"
"Fern, I'm sorry."
Frieren gently held Fern's hands, her eyes seriously fixed on Fern, who had raised her head in surprise to meet her gaze.
"It was my jealousy that made you angry,"
Frieren pursed her lips.
"And it was my anger that made Yulian uncomfortable."
Madam Frieren...
Fern found it hard to believe that Frieren, who was usually so serious with her, would actually take the initiative to admit her mistakes.
"Actually, I'm fine."
Fern felt the warmth from Frieren's palm, and her heart suddenly warmed.
The original rift instantly disappeared.
"But I never expected Madam Frieren to be jealous of Mr. Yulian because of me."
A blush rose on Fern's cheeks.
She gently turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Frieren.
Frieren, however, explained frankly.
"Because every time Fern is with Yulian, she's so relaxed and happy,"
"But when she's with me, she seems so serious and reserved,"
"So every time I see you two talking and laughing together, I feel empty inside, a little uncomfortable."
Frieren sounded a bit sad towards the end, even her usually radiant face losing its former brilliance.
"But Fern, don't worry, I won't be like this anymore."
"After all, it was indeed my fault."
Frieren said, with a sense of relief.
Fern wasn't an object or something that could be controlled by others; how could she interfere with Fern's decisions!
"Madam Frieren..."
Looking at the ashamed appearance of the white-haired elf who was the same height as her, Fern couldn't help but gently hug Frieren.
Perhaps, she was the one who was wrong.
If she had treated Madam Frieren the same way she treated Yulian, would Madam Frieren not have been jealous...
"It's okay."
Frieren greedily savored the warmth of Fern's embrace for a moment before gently pushing her away.
"It seems I should also go and say sorry to Yulian."
Seeing Fern's forgiveness, Frieren couldn't help but smile.
She assumed Yulian wouldn't be too angry, and even if he was, Frieren weighed the coins in her pocket, a look of certainty on her face.
Even if he was angry, she had a guaranteed winning move.
"Mr. Yulian has gone home, he's over at the entrance to the mountain path."
Fern pointed to a spot not far behind her.
"I can take Madam Frieren there."
"It's okay, Fern."
Frieren gently pulled back Fern, who was about to turn and lead the way.
"We'll probably need to search for a while to find the Blue Moon Weed,"
"Would you mind going to that the old woman and learning about the Blue Moon Weed first?"
"I'll find Yulian myself."
Frieren subtly stated her request.
She learned this from the old woman.
The result was obvious; although Fern hesitated for a few seconds, she agreed readily.
After all, Madam Frieren might be a bit shy apologizing in front of me!
"Then, Madam Frieren, if you follow this path for a bit, you should be able to see Mr. Yulian's house~"
"Mhm mhm~"
=ω=
Fern gestured the route, and after seeing Frieren nod affirmatively, she walked towards the old woman's house with peace of mind.
"I'm leaving~"
After waving goodbye, Fern gradually disappeared from Frieren's sight.
Only then did Frieren start looking for the way.
It seems to be... this way, then that way, then this way again?
Looking at the fork in the road at the village entrance, Frieren fell into thought.
Finally, after thinking for a while, Frieren resolutely walked along the path Fern had come from.
She almost forgot that Fern had just pointed behind her and said that was Yulian's house.
"Blue Moon Weed, huh..."
"How can I help Frieren and the others find it faster?"
Yulian lay on his bed, thinking.
He remembered that in the original work, Frieren spent quite some time looking for the Blue Moon Weed.
Even if Yulian wasn't afraid of wasting time, he didn't like wasting time on things he already knew the answer to.
To use an inappropriate analogy.
For example, if you know that the person you like doesn't like you, would you still continue to pursue and like her?
Yulian certainly wouldn't.
The experience of a guy named 'Pang Mao' in his previous life, while making Yulian feel regret, also taught him to love himself before loving others.
Some things are worth it, some things are not.
Understand the applause, and figure it out yourself.
The existing cluster of Blue Moon Weed is in a ruined tower deep within the Forest.
With the help of the Devourer Rats, it wouldn't be difficult to find.
The difficulty was how Yulian should tell Frieren and Fern.
The current Frieren was jealous of him, and Yulian didn't think he could communicate well with Frieren.
As for Fern, she was angry with Frieren...
"It's so hard!"
"So annoying, so annoying!"
Yulian complained.
Who understands the discomfort of knowing the answer but not being able to copy it directly!
"So hard?"
Frieren at the door stopped her action of knocking, a little hesitant.
So hard?
Was it because of her that Yulian felt troubled?
Yes, it seems that Fern forgiving her so easily must have been Yulian's doing!
Yulian must have said a lot of good things for her, and even created a slight rift between Fern and him because of it!
Yulian!
You're truly a good person!
Frieren felt ashamed.
Rarely feeling embarrassed as an elf, Frieren decided to return for now.
She would come back and apologize properly to Yulian after she was ready.
After all...
Frieren touched the gold coins in her pocket and lowered her head slightly.
Yulian was such a kind and noble person, yet she was delusional enough to think she could gain his forgiveness with gold coins...
Ashamed, ashamed...
The white-haired elf, muttering to herself, left the wooden house with her head lowered.
Her figure disappeared into the distant sunset.
"Someone seems to have been here?"
Yulian opened the door and smelled a faint, elegant fragrance.
It was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite remember.
