"What do you mean?"
Eren focused on the forest berry jam in his mouth. Sweet foods on Earth were also very tasty, but elves had the special advantage of living in a magical forest in this regard.
What he missed most when he was on Earth were the Elves' soups and various jams.
He froze as he smiled with the sweet delight in his mouth.
"Kelion is dead."
Eren left the jam bowl on the table and raised his eyes in the dead silence.
"What do you mean?"
Mel and Eren, who were sitting at the table, stood up at the same time. As if in agreement, they began to look towards the south side of the village.
Kelion was a kind-hearted elf who lived alone in the middle of his tiny field. He had no wife or children. It is said that his mother had also died a few years ago. He has been alone ever since.
Running to the familiar garden where Kelion lived, Eren saw that everything had disappeared. The surrounding fences were smashed as if they had never served their purpose.
There were animal and human footprints all over the tiny garden where flowers and some vegetables were planted in the past.
He turned to Emily, who was behind him and asked in a sad voice. "What did you do with the body?"
"There was nobody."
Eren clenched his fist.
For the first time, he remembered that those living in this magical Evon Universe were also mortal. He had always seen elves as divine beings superior to humans.
They were good and deserve good things. Because they lived so long, he had never thought that they would die so easily, except for the mysterious death of Emily's mother.
For the next ten minutes, Eren studied the forest road and other damaged houses nearby. Then he checked its mana and opened a door to his own world.
They hurried through the door, followed by Mel and Emily.
If Emily hadn't focused on the sad couple next to her, she would have sensed someone staring at them from the woods.
..
All morning, while Eren was at the opening of the large two-story grocery store, Emily was wandering around the house on Earth. She kept asking Mel questions as she inspected all the rooms and furnishings.
Mel tried to give as little information as possible at the time. Instinctively she didn't tell the private details that she knew. Of course, she knew Emily would find out eventually. But still, Mel was jealous.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mel took out the soup they had made earlier and a few side dishes from the refrigerator. Other things that weren't in the Elven Realm, such as tomatoes and olives, were also on the table.
Mel acted so naturally as she lit the stove. It was as if she had been in this kitchen her whole life.
While she was sure that Emily was watching her, she made sure to go to the weirdest part of the kitchen and pull out a few kitchen tools they actually didn't need.
The more she could drive Emily crazy, the better.
After dinner, they put everything in the dishwasher.
A big surprise was waiting for Emily in the living room. Mel told Emily to sit on the couch and took the remote in her hand. And she turned on the TV.
Shock
Emily's reaction was not for little people to act inside the TV. Unlike Mel, he thought it was a magical device. From what she heard from her mother, some Evon Skills were able to show distant things to viewers around.
Mel and Emily spent a long time watching TV. Mel told Emily some basics about the Tv and Earth. But she kept the details she heard from Eren to herself.
She had no intention of instantly losing her advantage in this world.
..
Eren was also at work at that time. He took care of customers, chatted with elderly visitors and distributed some samples to people. In these first days, curious people would also come, but then the number of visitors would decrease due to the high prices.
Eren was looking forward to the days when everything would run like clockwork after a day or two of confusion and intensity.
"I need to level up as soon as possible and choose a weapon for myself."
While Eren was muttering to himself during the lunch break, Mira sighed as she tried to read his lips from afar.
A few hours later, when they closed the shop, Eren immediately ran home. He smiled when he saw Mel preparing dinner and Emily on the sofa watching TV.
"Hey. Welcome home."
It was a luxury to have two beautiful elves say welcome when he got home.
First, he went upstairs and changed his clothes. With Mel coming behind him, they studied the mana flowing through the blackness of the wall.
They tried a lot of things until Eren tried to stick a stick into an inter-universe tear. Even Mel thought they shouldn't do this and forcibly snatched the stick from his hand.
Eren added a new one to the list he had in mind and went downstairs with a carefree smile.
Who cares about questions I'll never know the answers to. There are two sexy elves waiting for me for dinner.
..
So the days began to flow.
Very early in the mornings, Eren would lead Emily through a door to the Elven Village. Since she and Eren were together all night, Emily brought some of her personal belongings here as well.
[Door Master (Third Evolution League Skill) - Level 1]
The ease of use of this skill has been very helpful. Both Emily and Mel could cross to Earth at certain times whenever they wanted. The most important comfort was that the place where the door opened was at a fixed point, both on Earth and in the Elven village.
Then Eren was having breakfast alone and going to work. He didn't need to talk much to new employees while he was at work. Sometimes, when it was busy downstairs, he would go down and take care of the customers.
But apart from such cases, he would go to the manager's office on the upper floor and examine the general situation. If there were people who wanted to make large orders, Eren would take care of his guests in this room.
But for the first two weeks after opening, there were only small customers. Since the meat prices were more affordable than the butchers, many people came to buy meat. But he failed to make a big deal as he had originally intended.
He usually left work around 4:30 in the afternoon. Even though the job wasn't finished yet, there was nothing left for him to do after this time.
It was a newly opened place and three employees together could finish the cleaning and close the building.
It was exactly five o'clock when he got home. He used to take a small shower in the upstairs bathroom and lay on his bed.
While waiting for the mana he used to send Emily in the morning to refill, he would do something on his computer or watch a video on his phone.
Then he would open a door to the Elf Village.
He would have a little chat with the elves he knew and wait for Emily at the cafe. Then going evening hunting with Emily was the most exciting time of the day.
[You took the 100% energy of Level 7 Wild Jungle Cat Kelk]
[You took the 10% energy of Level 19 Wild Wolf]
[Congratulations! You have reached Level 19. All stats are +1. You acquired 1 Stat Point to use!]
"Emily, stop! I've finally leveled up. Let's go home."
Eren ran over to Emily, who was looking at him happily and placed a small kiss on her cheek. Without Emily, she would never have gotten close to the high-level wolves.
Most of the time, Emily wouldn't kill high-level creatures and would make them nearly dead and let Eren get the last hit.
Although the exp was very low in such situations, it was a great blessing for Eren. Even 10% Exp of a high-level wolf was more than ten of Level 3 Slimes.
He would die if Emily hadn't been by his side at least ten times.
Finally, Eren realized something. With the chaos in the forest and Eren by her side, Emily was improving faster than usual.
Eren has been hunting with Emily for the last two weeks and realized that she was getting stronger.
He was just discovering how powerful this young hunter was. If Eren thought that was just her maximum strength, Emily did something that showed she was even stronger.
What he didn't know was that Emily, who wanted to protect Eren in this dangerous forest, was now hunting more powerful creatures than herself. All day she was just trying to get stronger.
"Let's see what happens when you are level 20? I'm curious about that mission."
"Nothing will happen. If I don't like the class that the System has created for me, I will go straight to the "magician class" and life will go on."
After dinner and a glass of wine around 9-10pm, Eren was opening a door to Earth again. Emily would come to spend the night with him.
Mel was the only unhappy one in this setup.
Although she had decided to live with Eren on Earth, she was in trouble. His family did not want to send him to foreign places they did not know.
Thanks to the times when she was able to run away from home with some stubbornness, Mel visited Earth every two or three days. As long as she didn't do it often enough to drive her family crazy, she hoped they would get used to it with time.
Unlike Emily, if she was on Earth during the day, she was taking a morning bath with Eren. Mel was kissing Eren on the cheek as he left the house after an exciting shower. But even these little things were very important to Mel.
Moreover, the thought of doing something secret from her family gave her an exciting pleasure.
In this way, Eren began to live a life both on Earth and on Evon.
He worked a comfortable job during the day and hunted magical creatures with his elf lover in a magical world at night.
The only thing he had difficulty with in this process was to start using a sword. It was something that hurt his entire right arm and back, and it was very difficult to learn.
For example, she was in danger of dying at least twenty times that day. But these were caused by holding the hilt of the sword backward like in the anime or trying cool moves.
