After their unexpected stop the group was able to get their travels under way. Emily curious on their destination asked "So where should we go?" Akira replied "To be honest Emily I have nothing planned out. So let just keep heading down the road until we reach something." "Wait is that how you've been traveling for most of this time?" "Ya I mean for some odd reason its as if random things happen to us for the purpose of pushing a story along." "Weird way to put it Kira?" "It's just how it feels. Let's be honest how random was it that we got captured by bandits that just so happened to work for a Demon King?" "Now that you mention it that pretty strange." "I know right." The two of them started laughing, while in the wagon the girls were continuing their discussion. That was until Sue told them what had happened that morning "HE DID WHAT?" "Ya grabbed it without a second thought and when I woke up he was pressed up against me it really made things awkward." "That jerk." "Ya I'll say." "I mean what gives Akira the gaul to do that to me?" "What no I just can't believe I've been with Sojiro for three months yet he's never done that to me!" Sue was shocked "Wait you would want him to grab your butt?" "Butt boobs I'd give Akie every bit of me!" Sue went from shocked to a bit creeped out with the two of them. They started hearing the laughter from outside. "Hey girls you don't think that Emily might like Akira?" "No way not possible Morgan right Sue?" "I don't know my little sis has always been a hand full and someone I've never been able to read as well as not being easy to win over, but for some reason she seems to enjoy talking to Akira." "Will just have to ask her about it." "I guess your right Mia." "Ya and if she's going after Akie we kill her!" Ella smiled "I Like the way you think Mia." The two of them had an evil look on their faces which worried Sue.
After a few hours they stop to camp Akira was cooking up some dragons he found. "Oh what are you cooking there Sojiro?" "Hamburg Steak it was my favorite back home my mom taught me how to make it in middle school if I wanted to make it for myself." "Wow" Akira could remember dinners were he would help his mom out they usually had Hamburg Steak on Sundays, but that was only thanks to the fact his Dad ran his own company. "Well they smell good Akie." Emily became confused "Wait aren't dryads vegans?" "We are but creatures like dragons, lizard men, and snake men are the exceptions as their not creatures of nature. I mean aren't you two wondering were the vegetables are?" "No actually I look forward to eating Kira's steaks." Now Ella was confused "I was under the impression Elf's were vegetarians?" "Well we can't be picky with what we eat outside our home land so we have meat when we travel." "Uh who knew." After eating their dinner they all sat around chatting. Ella saw this as the perfect time to ask Emily an important question "Hey Emily." "What's on your mind Ella?" "Do you like Sojiro." "Well ya I like him he's a weird person what's not to like." "I don't know if your complimenting me or insulting me so I'm both happy and annoyed at you." "No that's not what I meant do you like like Sojiro?" Emily tilted her head in confusion. "What?" "You know do you want to be with Sojiro?" "I mean if we're talking friends sure he's an alright dude!" "Ya come on Ella I really don't think I'm her type?" "And what makes you say that?" "Well because I'm not a girl." "Oh that's ni...Wait what?" Morgan, Ella, Mia, Sue, and even Emily were all shocked by what Akira said "That's a joke right Akira?" "I mean Sojiro that's a little far out there." "Ya Akie." "Honestly Akira I don't think my sister swings that way." He looked at them puzzled "What you don't believe me why not ask her yourself?" Everyone turned to Emily who just sat there with despair on her face "Sis?" "It's true." Sue's eyes widened, she had never understood her little sister to begin with, but this really put some distance between them. They usually told each other their secrets just to keep things out in the air. "Wait Emily your into girls?" "Ya so what if I am? I think girls are cute and I would love to be in relationship with someone." "But with a girl?" "Ya" Emily was starting to get uncomfortable with having to discuss her choose in who she liked. "I just can't believe...you of all people what do you think our parents would say if they found out?" "They would feel more shame for giving birth to an elf that liked women then an elf born without the ability to use magic! WE BOTH KNOW I'M WHAT KEPT OUR FAMILY IN OUR HOMELAND IF THEY FOUND OUT THIS YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN!" Tears start streaming done her face Sue couldn't find the words to say to her. But Akira stepped in "So you like girls what's wrong with that?" Akira hated when people acted this way. Emily started rubbing her tears away "What?" "I said so what if you like girls instead of guys how's that anyone else choose for you?" "So you don't see me as a freak?" "Hell no it doesn't make you unique or a freak it just makes you normal!" "It does?" "Ya if I said you were a freak then I'd have to call Rise a freak!" "Who?" "A friend from my world she had confided in me prior to our second year of middle school about it, but the point is if I saw you as some freak then I'd have to say the same thing about her." Emily was sort of surprised, but happy all at the same time, while the others were puzzled. "Hey Akira how did you know my sis wasn't straight?" "Like I said a friend in my world was the same way it was just a matter of looking at subtle quo's." "So in other words you could tell the moment you meet me?" "Pretty much." Mia had been confused on something he didn't talk about "Hey Akie why would the elves not like someone like Emily?" He looked at the fire "Because elves by their very nature are pure blooded idiots they believe that their immortal due to the fact that their species is a pure race and not mix with humans and Demi-humans as a result they believe anyone that doesn't match them exactly are abominations that includes those who can't use magic." "And why can't Sue use magic." "Unlike humans elves are naturally born with mana, but from what I've read every so often an elf is born without mana which makes them believe that they are more like humans then elf even though they live forever. That's the problem with elves their talented warriors, but terrible people." "That's so sad." "Well it's just how elves are they are horrible people with great talents even in my home people in the past did horrible things to others they viewed as different including the place I come from and they always payed dearly for it. Sometimes people create their greatest enemies or their greatest downfalls."
