While walking further, enter the elf village. It's good to see his achievements so far.
Eli called his system and remembered that he had already obtained 20 statistical points from killing Tarantula in the cave earlier, and he had not included them in his stats.
As his feet walked, with Coco speechless in his arms, Eli put all his statistical points into the system. It adds 10 points to strength, 4 points to agility, and 6 points to the senses. It would be great if Eli increased all three statistics in comparison to a life force that is not yet clear what their usefulness is; the three statistics are clearer and he can understand their usefulness.
"If I accumulate at least 2000 experience points, then I can level up again. But. ah no! I can't waste my time just hunting, I have to take a break" Eli said, closing the status screen. As he examined Coco's condition, he simply pressed his body against Eli's chest and looked at the girl with an innocent look.
Eli was shocked when their faces met. He thought, does Coco know about the system she has? Seems.no.
"...Coco... are you sleepy?" Eli spoke in a gentle tone, looking at Coco who blinked her eyes several times and made a tired look; eli stroked her cheeks and slightly shook her body.
Coco yawns a few times and Eli realizes that Coco wants to sleep.
"Hmpphs..." (Yes)
"Then go to sleep." Eli rubbed Coco's head gently, until the baby's eyes were closed and a small snore was heard from her.
"Hmm? What are you doing?"
"Nothing, just put Coco to bed. He was tired and wanted to sleep."
"Geez, then here let me carry him."
"ah! Don't. He'll wake up." Eli tries to resist when Ashera wants to hold Coco. Not because he did not want to, but he was afraid that Coco would wake up and cry like a child in general.
"You've been holding Coco since, so give her to me. After all, you are a guest here, we should be polite to you."
"Are you sure? I was afraid that Coco would wake up and cry."
Ashera shook her head. "You don't need to worry, as her brother I'm already good at carrying my own sister. Let me carry him here."
"Ah..Yes."
Eli gives up and allows Ashera to take over for Coco.
The two of them made a move that was so slow, that Coco would not wake up. When Coco was released from Elizabeth's embrace, Ashera immediately took Coco into her arms and stroked her shoulders.
Coco tried to open her eyes, but she immediately fell asleep again as she felt a gentle swipe on her back.
"He's so cute."
Ashera. "Yes.he's really cute."
"Make sure your father and mother are so happy to have a child as beautiful as you and as cute as Coco."
"B–really??"
I don't know why Eli felt awkward when he said that. Seeing Ashera who was silent with her expression that turned sad, made Elizabeth worried if she had said something wrong.
Eli immediately said. "A– did I say the wrong thing?"
He was so afraid that words would hurt Ashera. Eli does not know if his relationship with his parents is going well or not.
Eli simply praised him; he did not intend to interfere.
"Not really.. it's just that what's left in my family is just my mother and sister."
"I thought so."
When Eli wanted to apologize, an elf approached the two of them.
It was Aimon, from the very beginning she walked beside Ashera. So, it seems he has eavesdropped on a little conversation between Elizabeth and Ashera.
"...Not to want to interfere, Ashera. But, can I tell him?"
"You don't have to ask me, do you, Amon?"
"Yes sure, but it doesn't feel ethical if I don't ask first."
"You're very polite."
Eli who heard it asked.
"Is there anything I can know?"
Amon motioned to Ashera to walk in the front row, along with the others.
Ammon approached Eli and said. "His father is dead."
"died? What happened to him?", Eli said in a surprised tone. Because this was a personal matter that Amon told him about, so he lowered the volume of his voice so as not to sound too obvious.
"At least six months ago, we were attacked by an army of demons. They attacked us and tried to destroy our village, but we did not retreat. We have prepared the soldiers who will fight them, and among the elven troops who are advancing to defend the village from the demon army, one of them is his father Ashera. She was known in this village as an elf with extremely powerful water magic abilities. He can create high waves that almost destroy at least half of the demon warriors. The battle of the elves and the demon army lasted at least one day and one night, until at last it reached the point of the final blood, where it died with several spears stuck in its body."
Hearing Aimon's long and wide explanation made Elizabeth's heart beat very fast. Not because he was afraid, but he heard the strength of the strength of the two camps; his father Ashera and the demon soldiers.
"Demon soldiers? Whoever they are they must be a very strong army."
"They are also the cause of our separation from our kingdom."
"Kingdom?"
"It seems that I haven't talked to you about this. It's better that the village chief just explain in more detail about it." Aimon refocused herself on the road, as did Elizabeth. He just nodded his head, saying the words of Ammon.
Looking around, the elves were whispering as they looked at Elizabeth.
Of course, this was the first time Eli had met the elves and entered their village, so it was no wonder they were whispering when they saw him.
"Well, look! Who's the girl??"
"Seeing from the clothes he was wearing, it seems that he did not come from here."
"Is he a newcomer? And why were Aimon and Ashera with him?"
"That's it, but she's beautiful. Makes me jealous to see it."
"Well, at least they didn't attack me like I learned in the academy."
"How many hours have I been here?"
Before Eli flew further into his mind. Aimon who stopped beside him pulled the edge of Eli's shirt and made him turn his head.
Eli glanced at Aimon and he immediately pointed his index finger forward.
Eli turned his gaze, in front of him now stood a simple house made of wood. Seen in some corners of the house was decorated with chandeliers and emblems that Eli did not know what he meant.
I don't know what the symbols mean, but in any case, this house is larger than the others.
Ashera turned around and said. "Then you go inside. I'm gonna go home to put Coco to bed."
They nodded, including Elizabeth. After Ashera left, Aimon invited Eli into the house.
"Let's go in, the village chief will definitely be happy to meet you."
"Is he a cold person?"
"Not at all! He's so gentle and warm in communication, you don't have to be afraid. Come on." Aimon pulls Elizabeth's arm.
Lyod, the elf who had been with them was standing at the door.
Actually, the house had no doors, only thick curtains with a symbol that became a barrier.
Lyod. "Grandfather! Can I and the others come in?"
A few moments later, someone returned it. "Come in!" His voice was like a man in general, roughly between the ages of 35.
After Lyod opened the curtain, he entered the house. Aimon and the remaining elves follow him, including Elizabeth.
WHOAAHH! Look at all these antiques!
Once inside, the atmosphere was so warm. Although from the outside it looks quite primitive, but from the inside it looks quite simple and minimalist. Lots of antiques neatly lined up on the fireplace, as well as some flowers in the vase that Eli had never seen before.
The flowers were white and gave off a twinkling light all around.
The flower seems so rare.
Then, there were a few footsteps from the back room. At the same time, a man came out of the room dressed in such simple clothes, wearing a scarf around his neck.
Not forgetting his right hand held a stick.
"It seems I forgot to tell you adab to meet me huh? Children's basic" said the man, taking a cup on the table, then chugging the liquid inside.
Looks like it's not white water—it's light green, and it looks like it's medicine.
"Hehehe. I'm sorry that we came all of a sudden."
"Yes, his name is also children. No wonder, if your age is in a period of development towards maturity." The man said the word "you" in other words only referring to Lyod.
The man then put the cup on the table again, and stared at Lyod. He realized that if not only the boy was in front of him, Aimon was there. But, what made him a little surprised was that his eyes caught the body of a foreign girl he had never seen before.
He also said. "Yohohoho! I think I have a guest here. Wicked me, then please sit."
Eli walked up and sat down in the chair that was in front of his eyes.
After that, the man asked. "So who's this girl you guys brought? Judging from his face... It seems he is not from around here? Is he a lost child!?"
"Grandfather, meet Elizabeth Islan." Aimon introduces Elizabeth to her grandfather. "He's a human who's been exterminating all the monsters in the Western cave, grandfather."
"Oohhhh~ Really? Well then-", before he said any further, it was like there was something strange that he had heard from Aimon's mouth.
He made a serious face, asking Aimon. "Wait.. w-what did you say? D-he's m-m-human???"
"Yes." Yeah."
"And y-you also said that in-he had defeated all the monsters that were in the Western g-caves?? Is that really it??"
Aimon firmly agrees with her grandfather's question. The man sat staring with a strange smile on his lips, silence struck.
Moments later, his body fell to the floor. Buahgh! Aimon and the others immediately panicked and immediately approached the man.
"Grandfather!"
"Chairman!"
"Uncle!" Eli said in a panic, and went straight to the man's body.
Ow hell! Why did he faint when he met me!? Or maybe...
Before they all tried to raise the man's body, some people were shouting and their voices grew clearer and clearer.
"Chairman! Village chief! There's something I need to inform you about!"
"There are humans visiting our village!"
His shout could be heard by all the elves who were outside. Some of them started shouting question marks.
"M-HUMANS??!!"
"WHERE? WHEREABOUTS? WHERE IS THAT HUMAN??"
The noise happened outside.
Oh Gods! What the hell is going on here??
"Chairman Village! There's something I want to say—"
Elizabeth looked at the person who had suddenly entered, she was Felix, the gatekeeper she had just met. He was silent on the door leaf with the faces of the two of them staring at each other.
"You!"
