âWhat is that vial?â
âHealth potion. Rare and expensive. And if you keep getting this girl in trouble, I'll start charging you for them.â Mathial replied with a scowl.
Thia's life bar went up a moment after the health potion entered her stomach. That was the beauty of being in a game; in real life, they had nanites which could bring a man back from the brink of death, but it took time. Weeks, sometimes. But in the game, it was super easy.
Mathial handed him the bandages. âThese are for you. But they will cost you a couple coppers. What did you put her through? And did you see the tailor? You stinking every day is bad for business.â
Noah ignored Mathial's complaint. It wasn't so much business with the same 5-6 demons visiting his inn every day to drink cheap alcohol, and the demons themselves reeked worse than him.
âDid you know she is a killing machine?â Noah wrapped the bandage around the wound on his leg. It was still bleeding. Slowly, but enough for him to lose a couple of points life every five seconds. The bandage magically wrapped around his leg, and his health started raising back up. It was a good thing he was in a game so he wouldn't have to change the bandages and care for the wound. Once his life bar filled up, the bandages would drop and there would be no trace of any wound. The game simplified many things, reducing them to simple bars and numbers, but it failed to simplify one thing: human emotion. If he had a bar for what he was feeling for the demon girl, the number in it would have gone beyond the boundaries of the bar.
âDaddy.â Thia opened her eyes. Noah watched those beautiful brown eyes scan the room before stopping on him. A radiant, innocent smile brightened her face, easing Noah's heart. Her tail wrapped around his hand. He guessed she was still weak, otherwise she would have been all over his face by now.
âThank you, Thia.â He grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly. Her tail jumped up and caressed his ears, sending tingles across his body. To heck with the digital tail or digital NPC, the girl cared for him with her heart, and she wasn't an NPC for him anymore. He would take care of her until he found a safe arrangement for her.
Congratulations! Your caring for Thia has made a little space in Thiaâs heart for you. +5000 reputation with Thia.

Stupid Game!
This yet more proof the game didn't know squat about emotions and relationships. If he went by reputation rank, Thia was at the friend level. In reality, she showed much more love than the stupid game said. Her actions contradicted everything the game told him. She was ready to die for him. That didn't sound like something a digital NPC would do. There was a heart inside that demon girl, and he had started caring for that heart. Maybe just a little, but she had made a space in his heart.
