13 If you accept the deal, Isll give you a cookie (1/2)

The villagers were too surprised at the sudden informations, we are working our ass here and got worried for our men, and we find out that they were living a peaceful life and even got daughters with their kidnappers?!

Villagers: WHAT?!?

Marco: Yep, you just misunderstood the entire situation, so I will give you a solution… Coexist, fuse your village with the one of the harpies and live peacefully together.

When Marco suggested that, the women in the village started to talk to each other while the Elder was thinking about the suggestion.

Many dozen of minutes later, the Elder raised her head towards Marco, who was sitting in a chair and eating the remaining kebabs with Alice.

Elder: Mr. Traveler, we decided… We will accept coexistence only if the harpies accept it too, otherwise nothing will change.

Marco nodded and stopped eating to say.

Marco: Alright, we will go at early evening, you prepare your things.

The Elder nodded and everion turned at their home while Marco and Alice were finishing to eat.

Alice: Are you sure you want to do it? There were probably more travelers that tried to solve the problem.

Marco: Like I said when we met, I want to achieve coexistence, and you should know that I do whatever I say to do.

Alice: …I always asked myself a question… What will you do when you reach my castle?

Marco: Well, first of all I want to look around, I wanted to visit every places and that is part of them, I always wondered how it looked inside and out…

Alice: And with the 4 Heavenly Knights? They probably would not let you inside, not even near the castle…

Marco: I try to solve it peacefully, unless I need to use force, then I will fight them.

Alice: But… You were literally kicked in the face when you used the 3rd Gate against Granberia.

Marco: Yeah, but it doesn't mean that they are unbeatable, I am sure I can beat them at the 5th Gate, or 4th Gate if I use a bijuudama…

While they were walking towards Happiness Village, Marco talked a bit about the bijuudama, and it shocked Alice, since it should be impossible to fuse holy attribute with dark attribute, but a bijuudama has both of them on a 8:2 ratio, respectively of black holy orbs and white dark orbs.

The bijuudama is the strongest technique that Marco has, even if he still couldn't use it, but the damage that it could do can't be compared with the strength of Marco in his 4th tail.

Now Marco and Alice finished their kebabs and stood up.

Alice: Alright, I will watch you, but I will not help you unless it's a special case.

[Later]

It was early evening now, Marco and the Elder were walking towards the Harpy Village, Alice couldn't be seen from the harpies and if the other villagers would follow them it would be troublesome.

Elder: So… What happens if the plan fails?

Marco: I'll bring you back at the village and I leave, I never planned to kill anyone.

The Elder smiled at his words and said.

Elder: You are still too young to kill anyone…

Marco: 'Too late…'

But Marco didn't said that due to not being questioned or anything. Soon they entered the harpies' territory, the village didn't have any house in the ground, all of them were over the branches of the giant trees which were around.

Elder: We are inside the Harpy Village…

The Elder was a bit nervous since this was the first time she entered a monster village, within this 80 years of life, this was her first time that she seen one.

Marco: Don't worry, they will not hurt you… They are peaceful, look.

Marco put two fingers in his mouth and whistled, then they waited a bit.

Soon, two harpies came, they seemed sister, one seemed 8 or 9 years old and had red hair that reached her cheeks, her wings and eyes were of the same color of her hair, but she was entirely naked.

The other sister was around 17 or 18 years, she had long dark brown hair and light brown feathers, her eyes were brown too, and she was wearing clothes that covered only her bust and her booty.

Both of them were looking at Marco and the Elder with curiosity, and the little one asked.

Little Harpy: Hey Sis, there is a new boy here! I've never seen him, can we get him?

The older harpy smiled and patted her sister's head with her wing.

Older Harpy: Calm down, first we will ask why they are here since there is the Elder of the village too.

Then she turned towards Marco and the Elder and said.

Older Harpy: Sorry for my sister's behavior, she is still young.

Marco: I don't mind, I came here with the Elder to talk about something important with your queen, can you tell us where she is?

The older harpy got a bit suspicious and asked.

Older Harpy: Why?

Marco: It will be a good surprise which will help both villages, can you guide us to your queen, please?

The older harpy hesitated a bit before she shrugged and said to her younger sister.

Older Harpy: Hey Pii, do you want to stay here and wait for me? I will just help our guests.

The younger harpy, called Pii, frowned and shook her head.

Pii: No! I want to follow Big Sis!

The Elder and Marco smiled at their exchange of words, even if they are monsters, they behaved like humans.

Older Harpy: Alright, then stay beside me.

Pii: Nn!

Then the Older Harpy turned once again towards Marco and the Elder and said with a small smile.

Older Harpy: Well, you heard her…

Marco: It's nothing, she can come too.
