The Artificial God

What a Beautiful Night

Because Mouri's voice was loud enough to wake Elysna up. But I pretended to be asleep by then until they were completely out of the tent. I don't know why I felt such a bad feeling about what was going to happen to Elysna. Right now what's on my mind scares me, I'm afraid that Mouri will take this out on Elysna for her unrequited love.

I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I decided to follow them. Until they finally arrived at the edge of the cliff, I noticed them behind a large tree. But as soon as Mouri invited Elysna to sit next to her, I reacted immediately, and immediately ran over to them.

I was afraid that Mouri would push Elysna into that precipitous abyss. But suddenly I could not move, I was surprised to find out that Tygruth was also following me. He tied my accomplices, and covered my mouth with the trees around me.

"What are you doing Tygruth!" I screamed in an indistinct voice because my mouth was tightly closed.

"Shhh. You don't have to worry, Mouri won't do anything. He's not the person you're thinking about right now, you just look at, and take a good look" Tygruth told me in a small voice. Hearing Tygruth speak like that, I tried to be calm, and noticed the two of them on the edge of the cliff.

"What did you bring me here for?" said Elysna who was just sitting next to him.

"I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to get closer to you. Please forgive me.." said Mouri, who smiled, but I saw that she looked devastated. It seemed like he was forcing himself to speak, and was trying to get on good terms with the person who had snatched his love.

"Eh!? why are you suddenly apologizing to me?" said the confused Elysna.

"Hmm... How do I explain to you? it's better not to think too much. Better let's open up to each other, and tell each other's lives" said Mouri, who smiled broadly at Elysna. Because of the smile, and the hospitality of Mouri, Elysna almost cried because she was moved to see it.

It seems that Elysna is easily influenced by her personal feelings, "Thank you for being so kind to me" said Elysna, who blushed in embarrassment.

"Eh!? why are you even so shy? let's talk casually to me" Mouri said excitedly.

"Ah.. fine, but there's something I want to ask you. Can I ask you a question?" elysna said to Mouri who looked hesitant.

"Hmm? go ahead, I'll answer any questions!" mouri said excitedly, it seems like she is very happy to have a new friend. He seemed very passionate about serving Elysna.

Meanwhile I, and Tygruth were watching them clearly from afar. That's because we're Leonis, we have pretty great hearing ability, and a strong physique. Not only that, our vision was also quite great, and we had natural strength as a Leonist. The strength we have from birth is the claws that are in our fingers.

We can use it anytime anywhere. Not only that, we Leonists can also jump around quickly, and high. Such was the natural power given to the Leonists like us. But I still don't know what kind of natural power was given to Elves from birth.

"You're right... Tygruth, it seems like I was too worried, and thought badly of Mouri. I was a fool." said I who walked back to the tent.

"We will only be a bully to those who want a closer relationship" I said. Then Tygruth smiled, and we caught up with me, and then we went back to the tent, and went back to sleep to welcome tomorrow. Meanwhile the two of them were still chatting on the edge of the cliff.

"How to make a man happy? you already know.. umm.that I, and Gernath.." said the timid Elysna, and her red face. Mouri who heard it instantly fell silent, and was speechless. Looks like Mouri still can't forget her feelings for me.

Of course she still can't forget everything I've done until she falls in love with me. From the beginning it was my fault that was too reckless, I used to be very stupid to understand someone's feelings. But thanks to Tygruth's upbringing by saying I was stupid, I became more aware of something called feeling, and love.

Then Mouri smiled happily, and answered her question, "Of course I know!" mouri said with pleasure. It seems that Mouri is not as fragile as I thought, she turns out to be tougher than I imagined. Now he has completely forgotten his feelings for me, for the sake of someone who will be his friend at this time.

The day passed, maybe it was a day that was quite reminiscent for them. Because that day was the first day they talked to each other, and opened up to each other. Now they're getting closer, and for some reason... Mouri became a bitch again.

"He didn't do anything to you, did Elysna? just be careful if he does something nasty to you before you get married I'll kill him" said Mouri, who walked into our tent, and has created a commotion on this beautiful morning.

What a typical Mouri I know, she's such a bitch, "Eh!? he did nothing, and just fell asleep soundly" Elysna said.

"really? hey you trash man! how dare you sleep first, and not care about your boyfriend. You should have made him happy before you went to bed, but you didn't do anything but sleep!" said Mouri who looked very upset. Is this just my feeling, for some reason.Today Mouri.. looks.... is so annoying than ever!.

"Whisper! you don't have to interfere in our relationship. By the way what did Tygruth do to you?" my words intentionally made him feel annoyed.

Then Mouri was surprised, and became annoyed at me, "What did you say? how dare you ask me such a thing!" said Mouri who raised her hand, and prepared to hit me. But thank God Tygruth came, and caught Mouri's hand so Mouri wouldn't hit me.

"Let's Mouri go on, I still want to do this, and that's to you" said Tygruth, who left us all shocked to hear, and again what a timid face he had!. Is that really the Tygruth face I know!?.

"W-what did you just tell them! you're looking to die, aren't you?" said Mouri who is currently really very upset. Then I kicked Mouri out of the tent, and immediately closed our tent. I breathed a sigh of relief, as the crazy girl was already gone.

Drrrrrrt.. brrrrrrsstt. To the point of uprooting some of the trees around us. But fortunately the fallen trees did not hit us, and fell in the opposite direction. But for some reason I suddenly felt the creeps as the ground beneath me shook.

It felt like something big was moving underground which resulted in the ground becoming vibrated like this. Something something very big, and felt very clear by me who was on it. If there is a creature that is wriggling underground like a worm, but bigger than a worm, and it feels bigger than our village.

All of them who felt the same way as me, made their faces look pale. It seemed like the existence of the creature that was moving underground earlier made us all frightened with just this ground shaking. Then I remembered the words of the teacher at that time, if this shock was someone's doing. But who is that guy? and which nation is he from? to the point of making us creep in fear like this.
