Chapter 150 (2/2)

In addition to the beasts that lived in this place, other races such as dark elves and dwarves were mingling, and I could also see some dangerous looking races.

I accidentally bumped into a man from the tiger tribe.

”Hey kid, you better watch where you're walking.”

”You better watch where you're going.”

”Ho? Are you trying to say it was my fault? Typical rude elves who can't apologize after bumping into someone. We should teach this boy some manners.”

”Hm.”

A man from the bear tribe and another from the monkey tribe stepped forward.

Both had intimidating looks on their vicious faces.

I got a strange feeling of unease. So I walked away as fast as I could.

”Hey, wait! I haven't received an apology yet!”

”Hueeeeh!”

”Don't run, elf!!!”

The two men chase after me.

I am afraid.

It's an instinctive fear of what they might do to me.

I kept running down the dreary road, squeezing through the crowd. 　 I managed to duck into an alley and dropped behind a garbage can.

”Hahaha, did you see how fast that lousy elf ran?”

”He's probably a sergeant somewhere since he was wearing really good clothes. He probably makes money by threatening people.”

”Can I attack first? That's how I like it.”

”Don't even think about it. You wrecked the last one and we didn't even get to play with it.” 　 Those guys are having a conversation right next to me.

Hi~ii

Please go away.

”I'll go that way.”

”Fine, I'll go that way.”

The two men split up and ran off.

”There you are!☆ Where have you been, Zig?☆”

”....Did you get lost?”

”Shut up. What do you care?”

I rejoined Celtina and Aide.

”What's the matter, Zig? You look so shaken ☆ Why is there no glow on your face?”

”...He looks like he's in a bad mood. Leave him alone.”

”We can go out if you want, Zig☆ We can go on a date if that makes you happy☆”

”Shut up, you're annoying. I want to find the demons and get out of here.”

I pushed away Celtina, who clung to my arm.

Do you think the woman who started following me just because I casually saved her from being attacked by a demon can ever be something special to me?

I'm quite annoyed.

Aide walked up to me and spoke to me.

”Don't you think you're being too hard on her?”

”I don't care. She's half elf - half human. I'm not interested in dirty mixed bloods like her.”

”Then can I have her?”

”What?”

”...I'm kidding. Someone who genuinely cares about you is very valuable and, whoever you are, you should value those around you before you regret your shallowness.”

I turned to look at Celtina.

She had tears in her eyes. I never imagined I would see her that way, she always acts so cheerful.

Aide is right. There is no one else who loves me as deeply as she does.

There is no other woman who is as good to me as she is.

I'll be a little nicer to her. If this girl walks away from me, I'll have a problem.

”Well, we can walk holding hands once in a while.”

”Yes☆”

Celtina approaches Aide and whispers; ”Thank you☆”

”Thank you... Ha...”

For a moment I thought Aide had laughed.
