The next day I wake up with Layla tied in chains of shadows beside me, I also see Nix sleeping comfortably on my other side.
“Huhh… already awake… master…?” (Nix)
“Good morning Nyx.” (I)
“Good Morning.” (Nix)
“Why is Layla tied up?” (I)
“She was bothering the Dark Elf soldiers, when I found her yesterday she had over 100 soldiers running after her, she was laughing at them as it will be exactly what she wanted, with her speed she could have left them all behind.” (Nix)
“I knew she was up to something, you did great Nix.” (I)
“I’d like to leave her like this for the rest of the day, but we might need her, so let her go.” (I)
“Alright, with the master around she should behave.” (Nix)
“< Release >” (Nix)
“Zzz… Ugly Nix… Funny Elves… zzzzz… idiot master… Aí!” (Layla)
“Who dares to hit the big Layla, I will…” (Layla)
“I was the one who hit you, what are you going to do besides spend a few weeks working with Alice and Caryna?” (I)
cough cough
“Master, I was just going to ask you to wake me up more… kinder.” (Layla)
“Don’t you know how to treat a lady?” (Layla)
“Where is this lady? All I see is a terrible Demon disguised as a Fairy who causes trouble wherever she goes.” (I)
“…” (Layla)
Layla is speechless not knowing what to say as she looks at Nix who smiles at her then she turns to me and explodes.
“What does it matter if I put some idiot soldiers in their place, they were trying to attack the master yesterday, I couldn’t let it go.” (Layla)
Sigh
“I’m not going to waste my time trying to explain again that it was all a big misunderstanding yesterday.” (I)
“Just stay close to me and don’t cause any more trouble.” (I)
“Okay, now let’s eat, I can smell a sweet smell coming from downstairs.” (Layla)
Layla sits on my shoulder humming as Nix and I descend the stairs to the ground floor, Layla was sure there was a sweet smell in the air coming from the kitchen.
I enter the door on the side of the stairs and see Freya pulling something out of the stone oven.
I go to help Freya in the kitchen, but she was already running low, so we both took it to the big table in the living room while the others were waking up.
While we were eating Eleanor arrived and we let her in to join us for a delicious breakfast.
————
After eating something so good we all left, but this time without a carriage.
“It will be after the Suns know why you are going to the World Tree, so I have orders to guide you around town to get acquainted.” (Eleanor)
“For me this is perfect, now it’s more like a tour, I even have a tour guide.” (I)
“Sightseeing? Tour guide? What are you talking about?” (Eleanor)
“Never mind, I’m just talking to myself.” (I)
“What’s the first place you’re going to show us?” (I)
“How about starting with the stores first, then the training camps, finally leaving the fields where we grow vegetables and fruits at the end?” (Eleanor)
“What do you think?” (I)
“I would like to visit the training grounds, I want to know how your warriors are fighting.” (Diana)
“Will we be able to participate in the training?” (Jade)
“You can participate, there will be other guests training there too.” (Eleanor)
“(Jade still has an angry look on her face, unlike Diana who is genuinely interested in this training, I think Jade just wants an excuse to vent her anger on the first Elf she sees.)” (I)
“Those who are going to do this training, remember that this is just training, so no trying to seriously hurt anyone.” (I) ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
“…” (Jade)
I say this looking at Jade who turns to the other side without saying anything.
“I’m more interested in the market, I want to know what kind of things are sold in this place, by the level of monsters in this Forest I’m sure there will be good things for us to take.” (Nira)
“I hope I can get some better tea leaves than the human cities we’ve passed, some different spices would be nice too.” (Freya)
“You can get whatever you want.” (Eleanor)
“Then I think we’d better get going, we have plenty of places to go before dark.” (I)
We started walking around the village to get to know the surroundings, everything was amazing, this whole place was beautiful, I think I’ll ask Leonardo to do something like this.
We passed the shops and Ibuki disappeared before I knew it, after a few minutes of searching we found her eating her 5th plate of food at a nearby restaurant.
We had just eaten before we left, how can she eat such a large amount of food while being so small?
After paying Ibuki’s bill and dragging her out we had to look for Diana who had disappeared, after some more searching we found her in a bar drinking an entire bottle of a greenish drink.
The first thing I do is buy all the liquor stock from this place and then drag Diana out, every liquor I bought is stowed away in my storage item.
After catching these two runaways we went shopping together, we bought many different things before heading towards the training grounds.
At least that’s what I was going to do before they came after me and then got carried by a bunch of Fairies near the candy stores where I spent a fortune just for those Fairies to leave me alone.
I feel like someone who has won the lottery and is burning money buying everything that comes to mind for family members.
When I managed to get together with the others again I got hungry and we went to a restaurant where I ate the meat of the monsters in this forest, but unfortunately, I didn’t gain any skills or bloodlines, I think to get a bloodline I need to drink the blood of monsters.
I told Nira later to get me some barrels of blood from various monsters.
When we leave the restaurant I realize that Freya was not with us, when I asked the people who worked at the restaurant I discovered that Freya is in the kitchen writing down some recipes that the cook was giving her.
Freya is someone very serious with her own work, whenever she eats something she likes she goes after the recipe, but since I also liked the food I decided to wait a few minutes until she finished writing everything down, after that we joined the others and We went to the training camps.
