章 34: Lily and the kids
The young woman looked around in shock; not only had Aizel cut the Grade II monster in half, but the surrounding landscape had also suffered as a result of the attack.
She saw the monkey king's body slashed in half and Aizel smiling at his sword.
"You really did kill him." She spoke in hushed tones, while Aizel smiled at her.
"No, we killed it," he replied, moving his hand to perform a fist bump with her.
The young woman was puzzled as she looked at him. Clearly, she didn't get the fist bump. Aizel realized this and quickly cleared up the confusion.
"We perform this fist bump when we encounter someone after a long time or as a celebration. You can say this is a tradition where I came from." Aizel explained while performing a fist bump with her.
"I am Aizel."
"I am Leah."
"I suppose we should eliminate the remaining monsters?" Leah agreed as Aizel asked, and they both started to hunt the remaining monkeys.
They both met at the same place, where they fought the monkey king after hunting down every monkey in the surrounding area.
"So, are you going back to town, or are you going to spend some time in the forest?" Leah asked.
"No, I'm tired as well, and I have some things to take care of, so I guess I'll be heading back," Aizel responded by stretching his arms and yawning a little.
"Let's go back then, and by the way, why did you tell me your name now but not when I asked you earlier?" Leah asked as they began walking towards the town.
"Well, I didn't trust you. I mean, I don't trust you now either, but we still fought to the death without trying to escape while leaving another one behind. And I acknowledge that you are strong."
Leah was clearly at a loss for words. She'd never met anyone like Aizel before.
"You are a strange guy." She eventually replied.
"Are you going to participate in goblin subjugation?" she asked Aizel, as for some reason she really wanted to know the answer.
"Yes, are you?"
"No, I have to deal with a family matter." Lead sighed and said.
They were both chatting when they arrived at the town's gate, where the guard standing there looked at Leah with fear. As they were about to bow and say something, she glared at them like a hawk as the guard stood there like a statue.
"It seems like they are scared of you," Aizel asked while noticing their expressions.
"If they had seen you fighting with that monster, they would have been more scared of you than of me."
Aizel chuckled as they both approached the inn where Aizel was staying.
"Goodbye then," Aizel said as he was about to leave Leah hurriedly asked something.
"How about we go monster hunting again after the raid? Of course, if you're available."
"Of course, why not?" As soon as Aizel responded, he went straight to the third floor to check on the kids.
Meanwhile, Leah was heading somewhere else with a small smile on her face.
Aizel knocked on the door as he approached the room. "It's me, guys."
Emma quickly opened the door and hugged him.
"You missed me, didn't you? Do you want to go somewhere?" As he patted Emma's head, Aizel asked everyone.
No one replied while they stared at each other. Clearly, they were still a little afraid to ask him something.
"Then let me take you somewhere. Come on, let's go." As Aizel said, everyone stood up and stood behind him closely.
Aizel led them to the Daisy Fruit Shop as they left the inn.
Daisy and her daughter were both sitting on the counter when Aizel and the children approached the shop.
"Daisy, could you please give us all a mangrove fruit?" Aizel asked while Daisy had to use her mana sense to count how many people were present with Aizel.
"It appears you made some new friends." Daisy chuckled a little while her daughter distributes the pink fruit to everyone.
"Well, I am taking care of them for now. You guys go ahead and eat. it's really delicious." Aizel said while he also took the bite.
"You can be friends with them, Lilly; go introduce yourself," Daisy spoke to her child. Lily nodded quickly before introducing herself to everyone.
"Well, Daisy, I have a favor to ask. After 3 days, I will be going to Goblin subjugation, so can I ask you to take care of the kids for that day? I don't trust anyone here, and you are the only one I can ask for help from." Aizel said.
"Didn't I tell you not to trust anyone?" Daisy responded as she heard the children introduce themselves and converse with Lilly.
"Well, yeah, but it's you that I am talking about. You are better than every person I have met in my life. To tell you the truth, you have inspired me in some way to keep going in life." Daisy blushed slightly as Aizel spoke.
"Don't worry, I will be happy too, and I think even kids will enjoy each other," Daisy said, as Aizel also noticed, that the kids were happy to spend some time together.
"Let's go, kids; tomorrow when I go out, I'll leave you with Lily so you all can have fun together." As Aizel said, the kids waved goodbye to Daisy and Lily as they headed toward the inn.
