”...looks like i need to start a fire”
after confirming his stored energy Mars quickly ate 3 cores bringing his total stored energy to 1097, before he walked out of the cave again and started to gather some firewood before he heard Alvin yelling
”what!!! 32 stealth acid spiders!!!”
Mars looked over and saw Alvin's panicked expression as he grabbed Isabel while yelling and showed a slightly mean smile before he grabbed his bone ax and went into the forest to look for some firewood along with Victoria, when he returned half an hour late with a load of firewood he saw the elvers had all stopped working and was talking with each other
”what... are they... doing?”
Mars looked down at Victoria that had followed him and after putting the firewood down he kneeled down and patted her head
”...well i suppose they are talking about something they don't want us to hear... but never mind that, what do you think about them?”
Victoria turned to look at the elvers for some time before she looked back at Mars as her horns flashed
”i... don't like them... they look... at me... with weird... eyes... but...”
Mars had noticed the way the elvers looked at Victoria, but as he didn't think he could do anything about they wiriness he had ignored it, after all Victoria was a class 9 magic beast so some fear was expected
”...i like... Chloe... she played... with me”
Mars gave a helpless smile and thought 'she properly doesn't like you very much' as he petted Victoria on the head and gave a sadistic smile
”well let's ask her to play some time”
hearing she could play with Chloe again Victoria purred loudly as she nuzzled up against Mars and enjoyed being petted until Alvin walked up to them and looked at Mars before asking politely
”...do you have some time?”
Mars was a little annoyed that Alvin interrupted his petting time with Victoria but he still gave a nod while he still petted Victoria on the head
”first i have to thank you for protecting Isabel”
Mars looked up and saw Alvin was bowing his head to him
”thank you for protecting my elder sister”
Mars stayed silent, until Alvin raised his head and gave him detriment look
”now that's out of the way, i have to ask you as the captain of the 6thbarrier forest patrol team to hand over the magic beast cores or at least give me a good reason as to why you kept them”
Mars looked into Alvin's eyes and saw his determination and stood up and put a hand on the grip of his sword
”what if i refuse?”
Alvin gave a sigh before he hardened his expression and matched Mars by gripping his own sword
”then for the sake of the village, i will have to take them from you by force”
”even when you know you have no chance against me?”
”yes, this is for the sake of the village”
”you sure have some balls...”
Mars and Alvin stood and faced off in silence for a few tense seconds before Mars gave a wide smile and walked up and gave Alvin a pat on his shoulder
”i like it, very well i will tell you why i need them, but first...”
Mars closed his eyes briefly focusing on loading his [Energy: healing] skill with 50 units of energy, before activating it and healing Alvin's shoulder and other minor wounds completely
”help me gather some more firewood”
Alvin looked dazed, with cold sweat on covering his forehead as he felt the wound in his shoulder close quickly he instinctively moved his shoulder a little, finding no pain he gave Mars a puzzled look
”well i can't have you working while injured”
