Two weeks had passed since Lone and Sophie had first met with the elves. In that time, the pair had only gone to visit the elves a total of two times. The first time was at their request. They had been confused at his cabin having disappeared and had left a note tied to an arrow on a nearby tree. Of course, the cabin hadnt actually moved they just couldnt see past his beginner rank Illusionary Dome. That was great news to his fluffy ears. Hed explained that they had moved to a more secure location…-

The two of them were sitting on a log within the elven camp. The talk with Chieftain Rewaleh had ended fairly swiftly after she had requested his aid. Lone didnt want to commit to anything. These people seemed sympathetic, but he had lied to them. Not only that but they seemed on edge. Untrusting, even. Beneath their kindness hid a darkness Lone had seen before. Specifically, in his father. Before long, he had finished his food and discreetly stored Sophies. Call him too paranoid but he didnt…

By all rights, Lone felt he should be a bit angry. A group of strange men had come to This could go so many different ways. Lone wasnt a murderer. He didnt get any tendencies or thoughts that made him wish someone would just drop dead. Perhaps with enough prodding and pushing hed be more than happy to punch an asshole in the jaw, all the more now that laws werent exactly a thing here. Or, perhaps they were and he just didnt know. Maybe this was an elven island. An elven island that just so…

Lone awoke to a heavy sensation on his body. Without even opening his eyes, he already knew the source of this unusual weight. Gently shaking her shoulders to wake her, Lone greeted the sleepy girl. "Good morning." Rubbing her eyes with two of his tails still held within her arms, Sophie replied, "Good morning." "You really like those, huh?" Lone commented with a wry smile. I could make you some plushies instead if youd prefer. Sophie's cheeks flushed before she let go of the fluffy limbs…

Sophie slowly opened her eyes and felt something soft and fluffy brush past her nose, making her almost sneeze. With her Mana Sensing, she saw the golden blob of mana that was Lone. His face morphed into a smile. It looked radiant. Perhaps that was just because of his unique colour. Shed never seen anything shining in a golden light before. Most things were just blue or green. The ocean? Blue. The sky? Less blue but still blue. Grass? Green. Goblins? Also green, a dark disgusting green. She…

Lone opened his eyes a few hours later only for his sight to be blocked by a bright smile. He could also feel a pair of small hands playing with his fox ears. "Good morning?" he asked in a questioning tone to Sophie. "Eh?" she was clearly a bit startled by the sudden greeting. "Em, g-good morning..." she awkwardly stuttered as she pulled her hands away from his head. S-Sorry Lone chuckled. "Its fine. I get the appeal, he said as he raised his torso and rubbed the ears himself. Theyre very soft.…

About twenty minutes of slowly moving through the forest had passed until Sophie suddenly looked into the distance and whispered, Over that way. I can feel at least one of them. Lone nodded and crouched down. Lets investigate then. If theres too many, do you think you can teleport us out? Before leaving the beach Lone had confirmed with her that with her Teleportation skill, she could, in fact, teleport more than just herself. This would be critical for both escaping and attacking if she used it…

Whatever he created, it needed to be light and easy to move in but not eye-catching in the least. Lone only had surface-level information on military and survival tactics of the common day and age. He frowned as he looked down at Soph who was just staring at him curiously with her lifeless eyes. Lone then closed his eyes and focused on his magic. He crossed his fingers and hoped he wouldn't overuse his MP again. The pain from doing that the first time wasnt something he was exactly seeking.…

Lone immediately twisted the wooden spear in his hand and thrust it at the closest goblin. The disgusting creature swiftly dodged, but Lone was still able to nick it in the shoulder, drawing some blood and forcing it to cry out in pain and rage. Two of the other goblins, one holding a rusted knife and the other holding a sharp stick, both jumped onto Lone's body and began wildly stabbing him. "Ahhhh!" Lone roared in agony as his flesh was torn open and his organs were punctured. Lone thanked…

It had been so many centuries since Sophie had even felt any hunger, let alone enjoyed the sensation of food. We really need to get to working on that boar when we can, the strange yet kind man called Lone said to himself. This is unbelievably bland. Just how much sugar is added back home for it to taste nothing like this? She kept her difference of opinion to herself. The last thing she wanted was to upset the man. He seemed nice but even if she wasnt the one who dealt with her harsher past, she…
