Chapter 65 daily life and the hunt in Malrton 8 (2/2)
”well... you know how beastmen have beast like instincts?”
Mars thought back on his talk with Jack and gave a nod
”well... I was... marking you... because I like you...”
Mars looked at Elsa's face that was in full bloom and gave a teasing grin
”so your where worried some other woman would steal me away?”
Elsa blushed even more and looked down on the table and gave a slight nod, which made Mars almost jump on her if not for the knock that sounded out from the door which made him calm down before he answered
”yes?”
The door opened and in walked Camilla that looked at Mars with sparkling eyes
”it really is uncle Mars!”
Camilla walked over when she saw Elsa and froze as her shy nature showed again before she ran over and hid behind Mars and peaked her head out and looked at Elsa
”Mars, who's that lady?”
Mars gave a smile
”this is Elsa, she's my friend and she's also strong”
Knowing Camilla held admiration for anyone that is 'strong' Mars used this to bait her out from behind him and sure enough it worked as she rushed over the Elsa and looked at her with shining eyes
”WOW, are you really strong Elsa?”
Elsa was a little taken back by the quick switch of attitude but quickly adjusted and gave a sweet smile to the little girl
”yes it's true that i'm strong, not as strong as Mars though”
”WOW, then you're like SUPER strong right Elsa!”
”not quite, but i'm strong enough to handle my self also---”
Mars slightly tuned out as he watched the 2 of them talk for some time before another knock sounded form the door
”yes?”
This time it was Zack that walked in and gave a sigh as he saw Camilla was to caught up in her talk with Elsa to even notice him
”well I knew this is what would happen... anyways what would you like this time Mars?”
”well, just bring the usual...”
”...is something wrong Mars?”
Mars peaked up a little when Zack asked him, he felt like something which was about to be uncovered disappeared again
'this is weird... it's like I was remembering something... well whatever'
”no i'm fine”
”okay then, hey Camilla let's go”
”ehh, but I was just talking with big sister Elsa... bye bye Elsa, bye Mars”
Elsa and Mars waved goodbye to Camilla before they looked at each other and gave a smile
”she really is cute...”
”yeah she is...”
After a while Zack showed up with their food and drink the menu was pies, stake, soup and various salads with some light wine to drink and after a hour Elsa and Mars was done eating and left the restaurant after Mars payed 200 cel for the whole dinner
”that really was good... it was a nice pick Mars”
Mars walked along with Elsa that had take his arm again, the sun had set and they were on the way back to the mansion
”well I have only been there once before but my friend Jack recommend it”
”is he also a mercenary?”
”yeah I have been training him in the art of the sword...”
”you mean you have been beating him up?”
”well, yes but I also give pointers”
Elsa gave a light laugh before she hugged his arm even tighter causing Mars to once again feel the 2 pieces of heaven clearly as they pressed against his arm as both of them reached the mansion where Elsa let go off his arm and turned to face him with a wide smile on her face
”thanks for today Mars, it was a lot of fun”
”your welcome, I also had fun”
Elsa stared into Mars's face for a bit before she blushed before she spoke up slightly nervously
”...Mars could you close your eyes for a second?”
”sure?”
Mars was a little puzzled but still closed his eyes and waited
”then... here I go...”
Mars felt a light and soft touch on his chin and opened his eyes where he saw a close up off Elsa's face and realized what had happens and slightly widened his eyes
”hehe... goodnight Mars”
Elsa gave a lovely smile and ran off into the mansion with her face in full bloom before Mars had a chance to say anything back
