Chapter 8 - Harem Member #1 Discovered (2)

It was night

In a dense foggy forest sat two men, one shirtless showing off his impressive muscular chest while manning the fire while the other stood on top of a tree as if searching for something. After entering the forest the man kept on having the feeling that they were being watched yet he couldn't find or sense anyone around them but bugs and bunnies

The man on top of the tree was a well-known bounty hunter in this part of Xodale, he grew up in the famous assassins village and was a disciple to Grand Master Defell, one of the famed Elementals. Not only was he proficient in silent assassination but he was also known for his acute senses and above average soul power

But this expert didn't notice that a bird, brown in colour and small in size had been following them since they had entered the forest, they also didn't notice that the bird had landed in front of the beautiful, still unconscious elf and stared with its strangely human-like eyes

And in the dense quiet night, a soft groan was heard, and then another but the two bounty hunters were too focused on what was happening outside their barrier that they didn't notice the beauty awakening

***

Ayase didn't know where this place was and why there were was a strange bird glaring with its strange human-like eyes that seemed to hold annoyance within its depths, ignoring the bird Ayase took in the surroundings but didn't dare to get up for the memories of the kidnapping were coming back rapidly

Not too long ago they heard that there was a strange Six Tailed beast with power that it shouldn't have, it had even destroyed one of the strongest student armies in the academy, completely eradicating them, as the news travelled naturally the Elven tribe wanted to find the Six-Tailed beast before any others so without a choice they travelled to the Human Dimension

But unexpectedly the humans had a treasure that could take away soul power temporarily which led to this situation. Ayase didn't know who these humans were but they had seemed to come prepared for the vines that bound the elf to the tree weren't breaking no matter how hard Ayase tried, just as the elf was about to release the small recovered soul power to destroy the vines a piercing high picked noise rang all around but only the pained elf could hear it

"Are you an Idiot?" a child-like, domineering, cold voice replaced the high picked ringing. This voice made Ayase body produce tiny bumps on his body while the warm blood running inside turn cold. The strangest thing was that the still slowly recovering soul power flared up like a little kid at Christmas, reaching, trying to find the source of the voice

"Who-" the elf started to say but once again the high pitched whine was heard

"I repeat, are you an idiot?" this the elf looked carefully at the bird that had Human-like eyes but dismissed the thought, it couldn't be right...?

At that moment the bounty hunter by the fire had sensed that something was strange, he instinctively gazed at the elf lying on the forest ground but the elf hadn't moved from its position that they threw it in so he dismissed the thought but then his gaze slowly fell on the bird standing strangely in front of the elf and without another gaze he dismissed the plain brown bird and went back to the fire preparing to cook their dinner

Little did the man know that that was the biggest mistake in his entire life

The elf didn't know how but the bird was actually the voice with the cold aura, a thought passed that the bird was actually a familiar but familiars needed to be at least the sights of its owner or else they were as unless as ragdolls and if there was someone else secretly watching then the humans wouldn't be as relaxed as they were right now

"May I ask who you are?" the elf asked this time asking the question through telepathy

"Unessesary" the bird replied in a cold indifferent voice

Unlike the two human's Lee wasn't moved by the soft, liquid-like voice of the beautiful elf, instead, she was angry because it had taken her nearly two hours! two hours to take control of a stupid bird, this was a grave insult to her and it had put her in a horrible mood which was why she wasn't bothering with any formalities with the beautiful elf

"I can help you escape, but in return, you have to help me," said the bird, getting directly to the point

The elf came from a diplomatic family withing the Elvin Tribe and was used to negotiating and interpersonal relations so when the bird put down the offer Ayase did not immediately accept or decline the offer but started to carefully calculate his options

The vines from the bounty hunters were made from the same substance as the object that was used to capture him, and couldn't be broken with the current state of the soul energy's recovery but this bird seemed to be some kind of expert to not be detected by the to experienced hunters so it seemed like it was the elf's only hope

But what kind of favour did this bird want him to fulfil that he couldn't do it himself, his thinking was interrupted by an impatient voice "Take any more time and I'm leaving" warned the bird

The elf looked at the bird and with a complicated expression, beautiful rough lips pressed into a thin line creating an unintentional seductive picture with shiny golden hair spread around the head like a halo, a beautiful body tied up in a compromising position and clothes ruffled up revealing pale smooth skin not enough to show you anything important, but enough to leave you wanting more, even the writer could feel herself drooling, everyone would have their heart racing a mile a minute at this picture

Everyone but Lee that is, when Lee saw such a scene she became irritated because it was obvious that this elf wasn't doing this intentionally, just thinking about it irritated Lee even more

As Ayase was about to reply to the bird a gruff voice echoed through the quiet forest

"It seems like our little Elven Princess is awake" the man who had felt Lee's stalking eyes during their journey had come back

Hearing this the elf's face started becoming a beautiful shade of red bringing the seductive picture up, even more, the elf suddenly at up, ignoring the warning gaze of the bird and in a loud voice shouted

" Who dares call me a woman!? I'm a man you blind idiot!"

Lee's eyes looked at the beautiful gir- man in front of her with condescending eyes and only one thought passed through her head

Your the idiot
