It was already night After they gathered the materials they needed. They began eating. Then finally, the elf man eyes slowly open a hazy vision and heard some voices that he didn't recognize. He get up from the ground instantly and found a lot of human's grilling some fish.
"H-humans?!" he said it loudly that made the suzuki's startled
His body was trembling with fear. Louise went towards the elf but the elf step back stagger into the ground
"We are not going hurting you calm down" Louise trying to calm him down. The elf was breathing rapidly he grabbed his knife in his pocket and pointed at Louise shivering hands with hesitant.
"S-stay away from me!"
This man has suffered from PTSD.
Ayumi Patted the elf shoulder and tell him to calm down. Her warm touch made the elf calm.
"calm down we are not going to hurt you . We sighted you in the waterfalls. You were unconscious at that time. We save you and made your fever gone." kaori Compassionate said her voice is so warm that breaks his fears away.
He realized his body was energized, and he doesn't have headaches and doesn't feel dizzy. Also, his wounds were treated, by using their cloth.
He knew there was a still good human so then trusts the people around him who helped him.
And saki offers him a coconut cup that has a Jasmine tea. The scent of the tea made the man curious because of that aromatic smell he drinks it. He feels relaxed when he drinks the tea.
"Umm. Sorry. And thank you for saving me."
"Why are you beaten up?"Sora asked.
"I was a slave from a noble family and tortured me to death . I couldn't take it anymore I manage to escape from that hellish place. Even it kills me."Kaori feels sorry from him.
" you're a brave one." she pat him in his shoulders.
"Where is this place? And what kinda planet is this?"sora asked.
The elf man got confused "planets? Well, I know the forest name is a yrarrif forest. It's a sacred forest for the elf, though."
Weird they supposed to die in this forest because of a poisonous air that even a human can't take it.
What is going on?
"Is there any exit in this forest?" Louise asked.
" it will take 4 days of walking. Then you will reach in the end."
Are they from Grand de antos students or a Magi council?
"Eh is there any short cut?" Kaori ask.
"you can if you're a magician you can fly."
"Magician?" A question mark appears above their heads. Except for Louise who remained poker face.
What? They are not? Then how the hell did they endure the toxic air in this forest? There's no way an ordinary human could outlast this forest.
Even a magician as long as they have a high resistance in poison or big amount of Mana for just 30 minutes, though.
"Who the hell -"
Ayumi stood in front of him her seductive beauty made him flushed and she pushed him against the walls not allowing him to escape.
"What?" the elf got perplexed and bashful.
"Hey since we saved your ass. Is there any village that we can stay?" She gently strokes his chin and cheeks.
The man got embarrassed. She was indeed beautiful a different level of beauty from the women elves and noblewomen. A mature, elegant and charismatic woman.
for sure noblemen wants her or the prince just to be their wife from any kingdom.
" T-There is. But my village has suffered from an unknown disease. And that disease would probably infect all of you."
Then saki joined Ayumi, and she gently stroke his chest.
"What kind of unknown disease is that young man?" her gaze was mesmerizing that the elf man couldn't help but to stare the color of her eyes. Deep green and sparkling like the stars. it is almost like magic.
"m-my village has suffered from the disease a long time ago. Many elves have died. That is why I escape from slavery due to the news that the chief of my village got contracted with the disease "
Their eyes glowed up from the light of the moon. The Suzuki's made a sadistic look at the elf as if was their prey. They made a sadistic smile. That caused the elf man shiver.
"Mr. Elf, will you show us your village?"Kaori sweetly said.
The elf man sweats profusely
"What are you gonna do when we reached my village?"
"Nothing particularly," Ayumi said smiled.
These people are demons.
When I was a kid, I believe there are some demons that living in our world.
Some of my ancestors say the poisonous air in this forest won't work on demons they are fearful creature than the human. They are human disguises. They have a shape-shifting ability.
According to the myth, their eyes glowed from the ray light of the moon also when they want to eat a living creature.
There's no doubt they are a demon.
Have they appeared again? Has God punished us again? Us the elves race?
"Heeey hurry up to lead us to your village or we will eat you up," saki said impatiently.
Sora flicked saki forehead.
"Saki you're scaring him."
"Sorry. My sisters feels excited when something interesting comes out. Don't worry we will do something for your village "
"something for my village?" the man was cautious and raised his eyebrow of suspicious .
" i mean we will help the village. we have two reliable doctors to treat those who got contracted the disease " Sora said. He offered a shake hand. should i believe this man? his eyes was full of resolve telling me to trust him.
"Anyway, what's your name?" Sora asked.
"Feliz. What yours?"
"My name is sora. And the people with me are my family, who get lost in the wilderness. We can't stand sleeping in the forest because we are unused to it. "
He is well-mannered. Then those three girls. Feliz sighed.
"I know my girls are scary," Louise laughed. "But they are remarkable."
" Anyway escort us to your Village so that the people in your village will be cured. And I want to sleep in a snug bed." Sora yawns and extends his arms.
"Geez, sora-nii you fun killer,"Ayumi pouted.
" Ayumi don't ever bully a innocent elf. And you too saki," Louise said.
"HAI," saki and ayumi said.
Should I believe those people?
They tended my wounds and cure the disease that had been in my body for weeks. how the hell did they do it? anyway my first priority is my village. i will inform chief mitch about this.
I hope they won't eat my family and friends. Because right now I feel a menacing aura at them.
If something happens then, I have no choice to sacrifice myself to them.
This is a life-threatening and a bet from life to death.
After all, a demon is a demon. When they offer help. There is a replacement.
