24 Celebration (1/2)

-Way to Elf Village-

I still can't believe what happened earlier. The brat is really stronger than I thought, though, those spells require a lot of mana.

”Hmmm, how far is your place again?” I'm getting impatient. We were walking deep into the forest. We're heading pretty far.

”Oh, we're near, just keep on walking,” He replied. We've been walking for thirty minutes now and we aren't still there. Not to mention, how do they plan on celebrating when they just escaped? This is kind of suspicious.

”Guys let's be careful, I don't trust this guy,” I whispered them.

-Elf Village-

”We're here!” The elf showed us the place. Well, I was wrong. They really prepared a simple celebration. There are fruits on a wooden table, some meat from the forest animals, and even musical play from their culture. There are dancing and singing in the middle of the day. It should be at night but we can't stay that long.

”Thanks for this Mr. Elf, but I don't think this is necessary. You've lost more than what you can give us. How about we plan on what to do next? The humans who raided your village might be back to capture you guys again.” I explained.

”Sure but at least eat something, we really prepared it for you guys,” Though it was a celebration, no one is eating any.

”Thank you, how about we make a toast? Haha,” I suggested.

”Uhm... Sure why not,” He grabbed the coconut shell which they use as a drinking vessel. I can tell that the atmosphere right now is weird. I waited for him to drink it but instead... They grabbed their weapons and pointed it at us.

”Just so you know, we actually killed more than a hundred of our kind to just save your as*es and now this is how you're going to repay us? And for your information, we actually defeated the ones who raided you. Do you think you have a chance?” The brat said and scared them really bad.

”Hey guys, just stop doing that. We will just leave if that's what you prefer. Do your thing and hide in the forest,” I calmly said.

”We are just making sure that you won't do the same thing they did. Most of us are really scared. Even just by looking at you guys, makes us wet our pants. We're sorry. Please don't squash our hideout?” He explained while trying to stop his tears from falling.

”Ok, ok... but you're not literally wetting your pants, are you?” The brat asked with a bit of disgust on her face.

A pretty young elf came out from a small house, made of twigs and leaves. She must be their leader but she's too young to be one.

”Thank you, filth... kind humans for rescuing our fellow elves. If you weren't there, they might have been in the hands of those dirty fat faced humans. To show you our gratitude, please eat some of our freshly harvested fruits and our jerk meats. Oh, and they are not poisoned. So, don't worry. ”She must have bitten her tongue earlier but who cares.

The elves grabbed the food just to let us know that they're not really poisoned. The food they prepared is better than those we bought from the shop. The girls are eating shyly at first but then they forgot their manners after tasting the foods. It is really delicious. They are definitely a better cook than my sister.
