Six days have passed since our stay in this small town. Nothing much happened during our stay.
Livie and I were bonding a bit too much physically. I was worried that the staff would come in to check on us.
But it was a good thing that no one had done so. Otherwise, it would be humiliating if someone here were to find me cross-dressing. It was late at night, and after today we would leave.
"Livie, we should sleep for the day. We got to go back without any problem happening." Both of us needed to be in top condition for tomorrow.
Just as we were about to sleep, an alarm was activated. The beeping noise kept ringing and wouldn't stop any time soon.
"Livie, we should check what is transpiring." Livie and I moved from our beds and left the hotel room.
Leaving our hotel room, I smelled something burning. "Livie, stay with me. If there is any fire, I could protect you."
I was pretty calm despite a problem appearing. A disaster like this wasn't too troubling since fire wasn't something that I was scared of because of my magic.
"Please! Could you please help us!" The mother who had seen us pleaded for help. She was someone that had expensive clothes but didn't seem to have much mana.
"If you want me to help, follow me closely." It would leave me a sour taste if Livie saw that I ditched them when I could quickly help.
The lower we went, the more smoke started to appear. While I was immune to the fire, the smoke wasn't something I was immune to.
Covering our mouths, we ran as quickly as we could. The smoke was getting to Livie and the family of three.
Getting on the first floor, the place was like a burning hell. The exit was barricaded in a firewall, making it impossible for an average person to leave.
I could only carry two people out of the building. Grabbing Livie and the child, I made a barrier around them and got them out of the building.
The child was crying, seeing that their parents were still inside. I went back into the building without wasting time to get the child's parents.
With me coming back, they were surprised. It was weird holding the wrist of the married man and woman in the middle of them.
Exiting the hotel, the parent ran toward the child and hugged them together as a family. I didn't want to ruin their moment, so I went to Livie.
I would have liked to help extinguish the flames, but I probably would have caused more damage with my fire.
"Livie, are you ok?" She had inhaled some smoke earlier, and I wanted to check if she was doing fine.
She was gasping for air when we exited the building. I needed to check on her current condition. "I'm done fine now. Thank you for helping those three."
A crowd came toward us, asking, "Is there anyone still inside the building?" Questions like these were thrown around, and I couldn't answer with people shaking me and stopping me from talking.
"LET HER TALK!" Someone had screamed and given me a chance to speak.
"I didn't see anyone other than the family of three," I answered the question that I found most important.
"What about my family!??" A person had complained and was distressed by the whole situation. I didn't know where her family was.
Just as they were going to question me more, another group of four exited the building. Seeing that I didn't have much information, they quickly them toward them.
I was glad that they could take the crowd away from me. It was exhausting dealing with a lot of people in that short amount of time.
The fire was now spreading to the second and third floors. I wonder if the hotel could recover its reputation.
Now that I think about it, where are we going to sleep? The place where we are staying is burning to a crisp. Thinking about where we would stay, the family of three came up to Olivia and me.
"I would like to express my gratitude for your help." The dad had kneeled on the ground. This was the first time I had seen someone doing this.
"Please, get up. I just did what I felt was right." Livie would have chewed me up if I didn't help the family out.
Standing up, the father of the three had taken out a bag from his storage. He handed it to us, showing his gratitude.
I couldn't reject just a gift. Opening a gift in front of someone was rude, so I waited for an opportunity after they left.
After getting my gift, some girls rushed over and dispersed the fire from the building. The fire was now gone, and people with family inside had rushed in.
"Big sis, will we see each other again?" The little girl I had just saved had asked.
"If fate allows us to, then we shall." I had spoken a quote that I had ever so often heard.
"I would like to stay and talk with the three of you, but my friend and I have got to find a place to stay for the night."
"I see, then I won't take your time. Have a good night." That said, Livie and I went to find another place to stay.
Opening the gift that I had earned, I found five diamond coins in the bag. "Livie, look, we're rich once again."
Saving the family of three was worth it. Doing good for the rich did pay off. Next time I should do it again if there is a situation. Even without Livie's influence, I will do it.
"Charlie, I don't think we could use money like this. We should exchange them for lower-value coins."
"Let's do that after we find a place.
