Zeix walked towards the village gate, and as he arrived, he noticed many elves kneeling down on one knee, showing respect. Zeix approached the elder and asked, "What's going on?"
The elder replied, "We are giving you respect for what you did for us."
Zeix exclaimed, "Whatttt!!"
Just then, the elf king approached and said, "Our scout team saw what you did there, killing a Demon General all alone. You are much stronger than our expectations."
Zeix, feeling flustered, responded, "No, no, no, I was just repaying you guys for letting me stay here."
The king replied, "But also, we are very pleased. Thank you, Zeix."
In the background, Roky muttered, "Tchh..." while Rena smiled warmly at Zeix.
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind, "Ohhh, I found you, Master Zeix!" Everyone turned to see a man in black and red dress approaching, with three elves trying to hold him back but being pulled along as if they weighed nothing.
Zeix was confused and asked, "Who is he?"
The man came closer and said, "Master, I have found you."
Zeix, still confused, said, "Huh, who are you?"
The man replied, "Ehhhhh, you forget me? I am the dragon you met some days ago."
Zeix's eyes widened in shock as he remembered the dragon he had killed with a stone. "Whatttttttttt!!!!!!"
