"Where can you find them you ask…?", it seemed as if Mo was glaring at Shin.
Mo seemed angry for a few seconds, of course, he only 'seemed'.
In reality, he was happy.
"You will really search for them if I were to tell you?", he asked.
This meant that the old man Mo knew about the whereabouts of the potion. The only problem that he had was that he couldn't go and get it.
Shin was relieved because Mo didn't actually get mad.
However, Shin didn't know if he could help him at the moment. No matter how kind-hearted he was before becoming a killer, he knew not if he could show kindness at the moment.
No, after Terran had pointed it as his mistake and error or wrongdoing.
"Will you really help me?", Mo asked again.
'Master! No!'
'You won't!', Terran was giving a death glare to Shin.
His expressions were clearly saying that it was wise to deny it. In fact, it was as if he was asking Shin to deny the request.
'Sigh, I can't see the suffering of this old man…'
"Yes…"
"I will go and fetch them for you.", was what Shin said.
"Thank you!", all of a sudden the expression on Mo's face changed completely.
He started thanking him even before he actually started the work.
Now that Shin had accepted another task, he couldn't back off.
"I will call the Arb Elf, please wait a moment!", just after saying this, Mo vanished from the sight and dashed off towards the same direction from which he had started chasing Shin and Terran.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Arb Elf?', Shin wanted to ask about that but unfortunately, Mo had already made a run.
Of course, he had the system to answer him.
'Ding'
[ Arb Elf -> A class of elves that live in the forest ]
'Huh?'
'Don't all the elves live in the forest or similar areas?' – a genuine doubt that popped in Shin's head.
Well, usually elves were associated with forests or trees, so it was weird to see that there was a distinct classification for them.
'Does this mean that not all elves live in forests?', he asked the system.
[ Affirmative ]
[ Elves ( royal and normal ) – live out of the forests in a distinctly built kingdom ]
'I see…'
This explained everything about the classification of Arb Elves.
Anyway, he was feeling a death glare from his back.
"Haha, I ended up accepting…", he said with a burst of small laughter.
"Master…", a cloud of black smoke came out of Terran's mouth – his soul.
"I said you not to accept that!"
"You are way too kind!"
"You should have just denied him and then we could just run away!", Terran continuously shouted.
"Says the one who is as slow as a snail…", Shin said this while looking the other way.
"Did you say something master!?", another death glare could be felt by Shin from Terran.
"Haha, I was just kidding.", Shin ended up laughing.
"Sigh, master…"
"You shouldn't be so kind."
"You will end up getting betrayed.", was what Terran said.
'How do I explain him…'
'There were 3 reasons because of which I accepted the offer.'
'First – the fruit on the tree was the second clue which could be a major one because Mo claimed to have seen a white wolf similar to me…'
'Second – I didn't want to kill Mo because that would end up destroying the second clue…'
'And third – these eyes that are watching us…'
'I believe it was better to accept his request.'
So he accepted the request based on some specific reasons and not just kindness? That's interesting.
So he wasn't a pushover after all or just some other kind-hearted bastard in this cruel world.
The eyes that were watching them?
Just what exactly were those eyes that he mentioned?
"Listen to me master, you should stop being kind…"
And just as Terran had mentioned that Shin said, "If I would have done that from the start, don't you think you would have been trapped there even now?"
"…"
Speechless, Terran was completely speechless after hearing that.
So Terran expected all the kindness only for himself and wanted Shin not to have such an attitude towards others?
Maybe he was delusional and that's all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"See Terran, I want to help whomever I can."
"I mean why not?"
"If we can help others, then won't they help us someday when we are in need?", he asked.
Now that was some good thinking that Shin had. If he were to help someone, then they would definitely help him back
This was an undeniable truth. Even if they didn't come and help, it would be fine after all it wouldn't make him a small person if he helped someone.
Terran was touched by his words and realized, the little kindness that Shin showed was not his weakness, in fact, it was his strength that was not to be looked down upon.
And just as Terran was going to apologize for his misunderstandings and saying all those things, Mo arrived at the scene.
"I'm back!"
They weren't startled exactly because he made a lot of sound while running, well, some of the trees nearby would get blown away at the same time.
"Here, the guide has come!", he said in a loud voice.
An elf jumped off the tree branches and landed on the ground.
The elf had shinny fair skin like that of a newborn baby, pointy hears and light green eyes.
The hair was yellow or blonde.
"Guide?", Shin was confused because a young elf stood in front of him.
"Ya punk, you have a problem with me being a guide?", the elf said in a rude voice.
'Ha? A loli?'
'Is that what we call this?'
"…"
She was wearing clothes made of leaves and nothing else.
While they were only leaves, they were well made. They were stitched perfectly and even had been designed on them.
Of course, the loli in front of him, who was barely taller than Terran, was wearing brown pants and a green shirt – not specifically those though.
"..."
