The three of them along with Aya, the Tiger Child, and Bromo Agni returned to the village after the affair in the forest was finished. It was late afternoon, with the sky still not dark. However, the yellowish sunlight appears very bright, while the sun has begun to set in the western horizon. Today was a good thing for Leon, because he managed to get a partner.
Summarizing the story for a while ago, the Tiger Boy ended up being Leon's penther by the name of Leo. The names of both may feel similar and will be confusing, but at least the Author has made a small note about the data of some characters that could be a reminder in this issue. And for the reader, please listen so as not to imagine the wrong character.
‘Ah, true too. I have to find out if there is a moon in this world. I need to replenish my natural energy to make it easier to refloat the dragon vein. Not only dragon vein, anyway, but also natural energy is very multipurpose and can strengthen my ability when using psychic power,’ Elena thought when looking at the clear sky.
'(Today is a bit tiring, yes. I've lived on the streets for a long time and I don't use my powers. If I could, I'd like to live a relaxed life as a house cat. It is very annoying to fight and risk life without getting the slightest reward.)'
'(If I were a house cat, it was most difficult that I might just be told to reproduce with another cat. Not a bad thing as long as it's got a guaranteed life I think.)' Aya leisurely lay on Elena's head.
Somehow he trained him, but Aya had good balancing skills, even though he just stayed on top of that head. Could this be his natural instinct as a cat?
After traveling for a long time, they finally returned to the village. The atmosphere there is still peaceful-quiet-with the number of residents of this village is not too much. Whether day or night, the relatively peaceful atmosphere there makes it suitable to be a vacation spot from the bustling city.
“After this, what will you do, Elena?” ask Leon who is walking behind Elena.
“I?’ Elena turned back and asked back, “Why did you suddenly ask like that?”
“Yeah, aren't you a wanderer? I think it's weird that you're gonna stay in this place for a long time. Besides, I guess I'll come with you while you're adventuring into the outside world. After I had this partner, venturing out into the outside world and looking at different cultures from every place I didn't think was a bad thing,” Leon said.
“In other words, you want to come with me who is more professional to accompany you while outside, ‘kan? I'm on my own, no problem with this. But...” Elena turned forward to Kai. “Will your brother let you wander with strangers? I am just a guest who came a few days ago to your residence, I am still a stranger, you know.”
Kai kept silent for a while as he continued walking before finally saying, “No problem. Even though I still don't know you well or know your true nature, I don't think you're a bad person. How could ‘kan an ordinary girl who does not know much about this world would harm my sister? To be honest I myself am a little suspicious of your very sudden appearance, but I don't think it's a big deal.”
“‘Still, yes. Brother! I've been tired of being in this village since I was born. Going on a trip outside would be a lot of fun even though I didn't know about something that was there yet. But with a professional-Elena-guide, I won't have anything bad going to happen,” Leon said excitedly.
‘I myself am indeed a cross-world travel expert. But if it's about this world, I only know in outline. Well, at least this world civilization is similar to the earth in 2015. There should have been a lot of things in my life before. Some things must be different from the presence of penth, but in general it should be the same.’
“Good. Then, now what are you going to do, Elena? Are we both getting ready and leaving the next day? I can't wait to go on an adventure!”
“Hmm...” Elena put her index finger to her cheek, then said, “I don't want to say this, but for a while I will settle in this village. Aya is the penther I just found this morning, and I don't think she's really well. Your penther also just got today, I'm sure you two have a less close relationship and it will be dangerous to meet other trainers and get involved in duels.”
‘What makes me unhappy with staying here is that I will trouble them for a longer time. If only I could access the storage inside my shadow, I would give them some gold jewelry in exchange for living in this world. I will also be able to pick up items such as smartphones that can contact Noctis even when there are in different worlds.’
‘But, yes, as you know. My destroyed dragon vein makes me unable to use dimensional or space-time elements that make me unable to control the shadows that are 2 dimensions. Indeed, there is a psychic ability that can control shadows, namely Umbrakinesis. But, this ability does not allow me to access 2 dimensions and can only control shadows and darkness.’
“Uh, I think we'll explore right after this. I don't know if there are many things to consider before leaving.” Leon turned lethargic in just a short time.
“Patience, son, patience. If you are in a hurry to do something, you yourself will instead regret having the preparation that has not been fully mature. Just imagine if you were attacked by a foreign trainer. This will actually make you lose more money on medical expenses, ‘kan? In addition, your penther-Leo-also needs to know more about the human environment.” Elena's eyes glanced at Leo who was on Leon's shoulder.
“True too, yes.”
“By the way, Aya. Can you teach that penther about the environment around this place? I think he'll trust you more than anyone else. As you said before, her past that has bad memories of humans, might make it difficult to be friends with humans,” Elena whispered to Aya.
“(Alright, I don't think it's anything bad. Having a junior in this place would also be nice I thought.)”
