Kapitel 17: Leaving The Forest
Before the sun came up, Kibaki and the Orb brothers, Along with several monster people were sent towards the Northern part of Argentina.
With the help of Axel's vivid instructions, They immediately got a gist to where the rest were staying.
.....
....
It was already morning, And the sun brightly shined at my eyes that sincerely awoke me from my dream. My eyes were still abit hazy, And my head really hurts, As if I was spinning around continuously.
I guess being unable to sleep for several days can make me feel this way." Erza mumbled through her head whilst rubbing her eyes gently.
"Are you awake?"
After hearing a familiar voice, I instantly paused. Recalling if it was still a dream, Or was it not.
"Hey Erza? I know you're awake." Axel said in a whimpering tone.
Erza immediately flinched, Knowing that she had been caught.
She then slowly got up, Bending her body in a seductive figure while yawning. Making the monster people around immediately stop what they've been doing, And completely made them stare at her intently.
"Huh? Why are they staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Erza mumbled while stretching her arms upward.
"U-Uh..."
Huh? Why are you blushing?" Erza wondered, Staring intently at Axel.
*Cough*
"Ehem, It's because you're openly stretching infront of everyone." Axel stated whilst averting his eyes.
"Huh? What does it have to do with stretching? Shesheshe."
"It's because you look sexy! That's why they're staring at you!" Axel yelled bluntly, Wearing a flustered expression.
Erza stood quietly, Slowly looking at the monster people which instantly made them avert their eyes and proceeded on what they were doing. While Erza then stared at Axel and giggled nonstop.
"Shesheshe, I never thought they'd see me that way."
Hearing her words, I somehow get what she meant. Since she was forced to take on a terrifying appearance before, And was forced to live alone in that horrifying forest, Cooped in a Cave without anyone else to talk to." Axel pondered, Showing hints of sympathy.
Axel then gently smiled while his tummy began growling like crazy, In a mere second he began blushing and was totally embarrassed.
Erza smiled, Softly patting Axel's head, "Come on Young one, Let's eat." She said while gently holding Axel's small hand.
Axel nodded and followed her while they went towards the area where Fruits were being distributed.
.....
.....
Time passed, Kibaki and the others arrived, Successfully bringing Mayu and the other monster people who hid themselves in the Northern area of the forest.
"Papa!"
"Mayu!"
Both Almasin and Mayu had a wonderful reunion, Hugging each other tightly as if they were in some sort of romantic korean drama who haven't seen each other in a very long time.
It was a scenery which no one could expect, The monster people who were bossed around by the Strict Almasin could not believe what they were seeing.
The Almasin they knew, Who had an unwavering composure, Dignified posture along with his fierce gaze that exuded an aura of a true leader, Was currently acting in a different way infront of them.
They could all not believe their eyes, Completely witnessing a different side of the one they've admired deeply.
"Is that really Elder Almasin?"
"Was he always like that when it came to her daughter?"
They stood in awe, Gossiping about how Almasin's personality turned 360 in an instant. The vicious wolf they saw was somehow turned into a lamb infront of her daughter.
Axel blankly stared at Almasin and Mayu, Reminiscing about his Family.
If I were to return back home, Would they also hug me tightly like that?" He pondered, Showing hints of mixed emotions in his expression.
Erza noticed Axel's saddening state, "Don't worry young one, You'll be able to meet your family someday, And hug them tightly like that." Erza spoke, Gently comforting Axel while hugging him from behind.
[Do not worry my User, I will surely help you as well, In returning to your homeland.] Greed suddenly spoke through his mind in a softened tone.
"Thanks Erza" Axel quietly mumbled, And responded to Greed through telepathy, Thank you Greed."
[As long as I'm with you! We will be unstoppable! Kyahahaha!]
"Come on, We must prepare young one. We will be leaving this forest soon." Erza stated gently tapping Axel's shoulder.
Axel sniffed and responded with a bright smile, "Yes."
And so, The two remaining elders and Almasin finally announced that they would finally depart. Whilst the Monster people sighed in relief, Knowing that they will finally be able to leave this Place and further escape from the Draconians' Wrath.
Douglas and Balmond chattered happily, While Kibaki led the monster people behind Elder Beru, Elder Garudo and Almasin.
Just as they started moving, Mayu immediately searched for Axel and thanked him for saving her life.
While Axel nodded and sincerely replied to her gratitude. Erza felt proud, Hanging her arm towards Axel's shoulder as they traveled the Central plains.
.....
.....
And after another two days had passed, They've managed to leave the forest peacefully.
While Mayu led them to the closest village, Almasin on the other hand went straight towards Asmahan to bring back Carriages. Since the route they took had two pathways in the middle that would lead them to the closest village and the other path leads to Asmahan.
.....
....
It was another two day trip before reaching the Closest village of the Beast people.
While Axel wondered if it was okay for them to tag along, Despite their current situation.
"Erza, Is it okay for us to tag along with them?" Axel asked.
"I guess it would be fine, Since we'll also be passing through Asmahan. Rather than passing through the southern forest for several days." Erza responded.
"I see... But still, I feel somehow bothered. Let's just be careful." Axel said, Showing hints of worries in his voice.
[I can also feel that something might happen in the near future.]
Even you greed?" Axel replied through telepathy.
[Yes, You see... I somehow obtained this Rare skill of yours called Hunch. You also possess this ability, Even back when you were in your previous world.]
What!? Hunch is a skill? Stop joking around. Haha!"
[I'm serious, Your hunch skill was always precise after learning everything about your past, Actions and what you've been thinking, That's why I believe it's a rare skill you possess.]
Yeah yeah, I guess you have a point. Since my hunches never betrayed me."
[Just be careful and definitely don't trust anyone.]
I can't? Even with these people that fought alongside me?"
[Yes, Do not trust them. Only trust in that Woman you call Erza.]
Fine, You seem to be serious about this... You haven't laughed even a single time."
[Because I'm serious. I just don't want my User to die in an unexpected accident or something like that. So you better be careful!]
Axel remembered that before he died back on earth, He also had a hunch that something terrible was about to happen. But due to his stubbornness, He still proceeded on leaving his house, Thus ended up getting killed by a wandering bullet across the road.
Thus made him conclude that all of his hunches were always on point, Regardless of the situation he was in, Especially when terrifying things are involved.
Yeah, Yeah. Thanks.." Axel replied through telepathy, And started being aware of his surroundings.
After their conversation ended, Axel remembered about something and quietly pulled Erza's sleeve.
"U-um... Erza?" He said anxiously.
"What is it young one? Are you hungry?" Erza responded, Slightly leaning towards Axel.
"No, Have you seen the Bag that was filled with the Diamond coins I've made?"
"Oh-- No... I haven't seen it." Erza replied and realized that they've lost their money.
Axel pondered, I guess we've lost it somewhere in the forest after alot of things happened. I should just make another one."
"Nevermind about it Erza, Don't feel sad. I can still make more." Axel said whilst creating a Diamond coin on his hand.
Erza smiled, "I guess I have nothing to worry about." She replied with a smile.
...
.....
Then time flew by quickly, And they Safely traveled the lands outside of the Forest of Argentina.
Without noticing, That two days had already passed, And they were almost near the Village, After seeing it from afar.
"Finally, A village." Axel murmured to himself excitingly.
Chapter End.
