Then Canavro rummaged through his bag, took out a cloak and a ring, and gave them to me, saying.
"Before we go to the village, put on this cloak first and this ring," said Canavro, holding my robe and robe and pointing his hand at me.
"Suspicious... and what's with this ring? Do you want to propose to me? Are you gay?" I said
"What!!? You reject my kindness! "Said Canavro
Then Lucy interrupted our conversation by saying.
"You don't need to be afraid of that, Mr. Drachoid. It's a witch's scent cover and an aura concealer," said Lucy.
"witch's scent cover and aura concealer? What for?" I said
"That's because most of us Dark Centaurs don't like the smell of witches, and there are also some Dark Centaurs who can feel the threat of someone, especially with the instinct from my brother that you are dangerous. Of course, many of the Dark Centaurs can see the aura you emit and will immediately see you as a threat," Lucy said
"oh.. I see." I said
Then I took the Cloak and ring given by Canavro and put them on. And after that, we left for a village in this Death Forest area, guided by Canavro in front with his horse and me and Lucy behind.
(has he trusted me?)
On the way, Lucy asked me about why I got into Death Forest. Lucy also said.
"So what made you come here, Mr. Drachoid? what makes a wizard like you come to this dangerous place?" said Lucy
Because I don't particularly appreciate being called by my last name, I decided to contact me by my first name. I said.
"Just call me Oz, Lucy," I said, smiling at Lucy.
Then Lucy responded by saying.
"Okay, Oz…" Lucy said
After that, I answered a question from Lucy by saying.
"I just don't know where else to go," I said, looking down.
Then Canavro immediately interrupted my conversation with Lucy by saying.
"Just wandering around?" he said
"Yeah.. Something like that," I said
"Are you running away from something or something like that?" Canavro said.
Lucy saw her brother deeply, as Canavro had experienced the same thing. The question from Canavro really hits my heart, so I can't answer it right away.
"Yeah.. Something like that," I said
Then Canavro joked with me. he said
"which certainly has nothing to do with me, right," Canavro said with a happy face that intended to cheer me up.
Then Lucy changed the subject. She looked at my scarred face from my fight with his brother and said.
"What's wrong with your face Oz?" Lucy said while looking at the wound on my face
Then I answered a question from Lucy by saying.
"Ah .. This is the battle wound earlier, " I said
Then Lucy was surprised by my statement that I didn't heal the small wound on my face with magic. she said
"Are you not treating it with magic?" said Lucy, who was surprised
"ah .. I'm currently not able to," I said.
( I can't actually)
"Want me to treat it?" said Lucy
"do not bother," I said
"Don't you know... I'll treat it here. I'll be afraid of infection," said Lucy.
"It's okay, we will arrive at the village," I said
"Should be now," said Lucy with a serious look
Then Canavro interrupted our conversation by saying
"Just follow my sister, 'Witch' " he said
"Call my name at least!" I said
"Heh.." said Canavro arrogantly and looked up from me.
Then our journey stopped, and I treated the wound on my face for a while. Lucy pointed her hand at me and cast a spell განკურნე (gank'urne/Heal), and suddenly around her hand was a magic circle and healed my wound. I was surprised by that, and I said after she finished her healing magic.
"So you Dark Centaurs can also use magic?" I said
Then Lucy answered my question by saying.
"Of course," said Lucy
After that, Canavro relaxed his midriff, which was hit by a fist from me earlier, and his sister said.
"What's wrong with you, brother?" said Lucy
"This witch bastard hit me earlier so my bones are crooked," he said while relaxing his solar plexus area.
"What, bastard!!?" I said
"So, is your body relaxed now, brother?" Lucy said
"Not yet. For some reason, it's difficult even though it's usually easy," said Canavro
"Let me see your body," I said
Then I roughly relaxed him body. Then Canavro said
"Did you do it right !!?" he said while feeling sick.
"Take it easy," I said
"aaa... Aaakjh.. Aakjhhhh" screams Canavro, who feels pain because I relax his body.
After that, his body became better, and we continued our journey.
"You're great too. Where did you learn that?" Canavro said
"I learned that myself at home when I was little. I was often injured during physical exercise," I said
"Physical training even though you are a witch?" Canavro said
"Yeah, that's it," I said
Then Canavro stopped in his tracks and said.
"Maybe now you can still hide your identity, but when we meet the village head, it will be a different story," said Canavro
"So we will meet the village head?" I said
Then Lucy interrupted us by saying.
"Yes, that's true because before you're allowed to walk around, you have to talk to the head of the village first," said Lucy
"Actually, I'm very hungry right now, will there be food there later?" I said
"Of course" Lucy said.
Then finally, we arrived at the village gate. Canavro spoke to the guard first and then entered the village. The village is very peaceful, with rice fields and so on. I also passed the market, but I was not allowed to eat it because the head of the village had not allowed it. And finally, I arrived at the village head's house. After that, Canavro knocked on the door and immediately opened it.
( it's not polite!!)
"We're home!" said Canavro
"Wait so you live here!?" I said
"Yes, that's true. I'm also his son," said Canavro
"I-Is that so" I said
"I'll take the canavri to his cage first, and I will follow later" said Canavro
Then Lucy took me to her father's place by saying.
"Oz, come with me to daddy's place," said Lucy
"Okay," I said
Then I was directed to the village chief's room. When it was in front of the room door, Lucy stopped me first and entered the village head's room. Lucy checked whether the village head was busy or not. And after finishing checking it, Lucy came out of the village head's room and approached me. Lucy also said.
"Come in Oz…" Lucy said
I opened the robe that covered me and entered the village head's room. This room is the village chief's office. I was ordered to sit on a chair before the village head's office desk.
"Where is the head of the village?" I said
Then the village head turned his stool as he said.
"You looking for me?" said the head of the village
Then I was stunned by the village head's demeanor, saying.
"cool," I said
Then the head of the village was also happy and said.
"It's true, isn't it?" said the head of the village with a happy face because I praised him
This village chief didn't have long ears; his skin wasn't bluish-black either but was white like mine. It looked like they weren't his biological family.
"Ah, Oz… I'll be out for a while, okay.. Just relax and talk to my daddy," said Lucy
"Okay," I said
After Lucy left the room, the village chief started to look serious and said.
"So what brings you here ..?" said the village head
Then I thought to introduce myself before answering the village chief's question. I said
"Previously, my name is-" I said
When I intend to introduce myself, the village head immediately cut off the conversation by saying.
"That's not necessary. I've heard it from my children," said the head of the village
Then I answered the question from the village chief. I said
"For rough purposes anyway. I want to ask for food because I haven't eaten for three days anyway," I said
Then the village head offered the cake that was on a plate on his table by saying.
"food huh... do you want these three cakes first and then tell me?" said the head of the village while lifting the cake on the plate in front of me.
Then I immediately devoured the three cakes until they ran out quickly, and were not ashamed to say.
"Is there still cake?" I said
"There are still three pieces left," said the village head
( Great.. The cake just appeared on this plate… )
Then I finished the three cakes on the plate quickly and said
"want," I said
"You've finished it.. how come you just said you want it after you've finished it..?" said the head of the village.
"Sorry," I said
Then there was silence for a moment, and the village head returned to his serious face as he said.
"What is your purpose?" said the village head
The village head's words were cut off because suddenly, someone entered the room.
"I'm in! "Said Canavro in a loud voice.
"What are you doing even though I'm being serious right now !!?" Said the village head
"I also want to hear this bastard, father," Canavro said
"Who's the bastard? Damn it!?" I said
"I told you to call me daddy, not a father! "Said the village head
When the village head and Canavro relaxed, we finally started talking.
"So, What is your purpose?" said the head of the village.
I paused momentarily and contemplated whether these people could be trusted, but I pushed those thoughts away. It seemed that what Canavro said earlier was true that I couldn't hide anything from this village chief. It wasn't because he was feared, but it was because the people in the village highly respected him. Maybe the people here I can trust...
"It's because of me-" I was cut off
My words were cut off because another person entered inside.
"Whoever wants to eat, raise your hand," said Lucy, who interrupted the conversation by bringing food.
"ME!! ME!! ME!!...." I said, and Canavro raised his hand.
"Please don't bother me when I'm serious, and also, why are you also joining Canavro!!!" said the village head
"I'm really hungry now, Father. Are you not hungry?" Canavro said
"I told you to call me Daddy! "Said the village head.
I smiled at the village chief because I had never felt like this before. I'm happy to be here. Is this what is called family?
The village head turned towards me again and returned my smile, and said
"Then let's just eat!!" said the head of the village
"YEAH, LET'S eat!!!" the 3 of us said.
