Chapter 9: Village 1
The Party of Hunters stared at Nix as he ate.
'As I eat this lovely meal after risking my life,
I felt their gazes at me,
I didn't mind it.'
'After finishing the meal I bowed my head to show my gratitude for their hospitality.'
'They then gave me a gentle smiles before one of them, the one with a blonde hair drew on the ground.'
'It depicted 3 characters walking to a village and he pointed at me before making another character and showing signs of following them.'
'They're basically telling me to come with them to their village,
I thought of their proposal and I agreed,
Going to a human settlement is safer if I want to survive and thrive in this Tyrannical World.'
Nix looked at Alex and nodded at him.
Alex's face brightened up.
"He agreed to come with us to the town"
"Yay!!"
Cecilia exclaimed.
With that, Alex and his Party gathered their stuff before going back to town
Nix stood up,
'Ugh...My limbs are still numb'
Nix's face frowned from the pain
Zachary then went to Nix ans gestured to Nix that He should lean on his shoulders so that He could assist him in walking
Nix bowed his head again, showing appreciation.
---
They then set out on a 3 hour careful walk on the way back to the village,
The Hunter Party is already accustomed to the Jungle but dangers are still ever present.
Alex lead the path on the way back and acted as a vanguard, avoiding man made traps and notifying His party and Nix of the traps he discovered,
Alex and Cecilia would also kill monsters or creatures they come across,
So of the creatures that I also hunted and tested to be edible were stored by them,
Easily defeating the creatures demonstrating that they're not pushovers and that their personal strength and teamwork aren't to be ignored.
The three would also verbally chat with one the way back to kill their boredom while Nix would just stay quiet and keep observing.
Cecilia would also occasionally glance at Nix while he wasn't looking,
It was hard for her not to look away from him due to his divine appearance,
But Nix being a cautious man would always scan details within his senses,
Thus making it difficulty for Cecilia to look at him for a long time without embarassing herself.
As they draw near the Village they came across the village scouts and guards.
"Halt!"
exclaimed one of the guards
"Hello Alex, Hows the hunt today?"
The guard asked
"Greetings Sean, We got plenty today and we even rescued this man."
'The guard looked at me curious,
He looked at my face and commented,'
"Hmm, your definitely not from around here...'
Alex then interjected,
"Yeah he's not from around here but I can assure you, he means no harm."
The guard persuaded, said:
"Well, alright then get going, yer wife his waiting for you."
"Haha, alright I'll see ya sometime again sean."
Alex sends his goodbyes to the guard.
'We finally arrived at the town,
It was walled, made to defend it's inhabitants from creatures with malicious intent,
Despite just being a town, it's quite large and has a high population, I observed.'
'Many people gazed at me with curiousity,
Kids waved at me,
Women blush, and
Men stared with a curious gazes...'
'We eventually stopped walking and the Hunter Party suddenly began a discussion.'
"Well guys it's time to split up."
Said Alex,
"Indeed, I'll split up the meat we've hunted."
Said Zachary,
"What about Him?"
asked Cecilia concerned about Nix,
"Ive decided to take Him in my household, we got an extra room for him to sleep."
"Alright that settles it."
Said Zachary,
'The Blonde man then made hand gestures that I interpreted to be him invite me to live at his house,
To which I nodded and bowed my head slightly to thank him.'
'I then waved my hands and bowed slightly to The man with long black hair and the girl with dark hair as a gesture of farewell and gratitude for their help.'
After they left.
Alex spoke,
"Now let us now go to my house..."
'Although I couldn't understand him I can see from his face that he's truly excited to go home,
And so we continued walking until we've reached this Blonde Man's house.'
