25: Half-elf in the moonlight

Under the large fluorescent tree, the boy leaned against the trunk of the tree, and the sky shrouded in stars was a beautiful night like a dream.

Two full moons hang high in the night sky, and the blue moonlight shines like flying sparks, and those moonlit "elves" surround the branches and leaves to show off their dance performances.

"Wake up, the power of this gem."

The elf girl caressed Takitaki's face and observed him tentatively, but then she was a little unsure: "It should be possible to summon the lost life back to this world." ”

The arrogance of life is also a new birth, the independent evolution of life, the completion of the conditions for embarking on the path to godhood, congratulations, obtaining an appearance that matches your desires. A cold and emotionless voice sounded in his head, and the system that had disappeared for ten years was still there as he had guessed.

Vaguely hearing a pleasant voice calling for him, Takitaki slowly opened his eyes.

In the haze, in the hands of the girl with elven ears, the orange gem emitted a dazzling light. The petite boobs enlarged in Takita's eyes, until finally they occupied Takita's entire world.

The warm touch came from between the lips, with a hint of coldness, but also a little softness.

The glowing gem turned into a streamer and drilled into Takito's body, a burning heat mixed with a cold feeling came out of the body, and the mysterious pattern was imprinted on the back of Takichen's hand, as if it was burned by flames, and the pain awakened Takichen's consciousness in a deep sleep.

"Elves?"

Takichen looked carefully at the elven girl in front of him, almost exactly the same as the elf he knew, with pointed ears, but on closer inspection, it was a little different.

The emerald blue pupils, the hip-length flaxen-colored hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and the hairpin-like red rope was tied to a pure white flower that resembled a lily and gently carried the sideburns, and the red rope was wrapped around the petite and dexterous pointed ears, which was beautiful and lovely in this divine light.

The smart eyes looked at Takichen carefully, a feeling that could be seen from a distance and could not be desecrated spontaneously, Takichen saw only purity and immaculate in her eyes, this beauty at her fingertips...

What a beautiful and moving star stone!

Those eyes shone with the morning star, as if to contain the entire starry sky.

"The two full moons in the night sky, the glowing fluorescent light in front of you, and the spiky elves seem to have come to a magical world."

Feeling the state of his body, after making sure that he had left that space, Takichen calmed down.

Although there are still many doubts that need to be answered, they are pressed by Takichen in their hearts.

"I'm sorry to scare you."

The elf girl saw Takichen suddenly raise her hand, and hurriedly stood up, thinking that he was frightened when she saw her appearance, but there was also a factor of being slightly scared after seeing Takichen's eyes.

"Are you an elf?"

"I'm half-elf, a half-elf, half-human, Tifa Devilewood."

The elves of the forest loomed and hid among the leaves, and Tifa Devilewood released the forest elves that were docked on the back of his hand.

"Tifa Devierwood... My name is Takitaki. ”

After a short silence, Takijin also told the elf girl his name.

From her slightly backward steps just now and the look in her eyes as if she had seen a terrible scene, Takichen quickly thought of her own appearance, and after looking down at her hands, Takichen also understood that she was because she saw her own eyes.

The appearance that matches the desire should be said to recognize the self in that ten years, and then inherit everything about yourself in that space, including the appearance. As for the path to godhood or something, the system is really planning something.

After feeling the condition of his body a little, Takichen determined that the monster-like appearance was his original appearance, just like when he was in that unknown space before, under the appearance of human beings, his strength was almost half suppressed, and he even felt uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?"

Looking at the somewhat blank eyes of the different young man in front of him, and checking his body from time to time, Tifa Devierwood let go of the slightest prejudice and fear he had had before: he only had slightly different eyes and hair color.

"Where is this?"

The sudden voice interrupted Takichen's thinking, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal about him, Takichen began to think about what kind of world he had come to, and he was more concerned about his environment than the beautiful elf girl in front of him.

"This is Wood Village, and I'm the only one living in this village."

Rather than being swayed by Takita's somewhat frightening eyes, Tifa Devilwood answered him with a smile.

"Wood Village... I'm fine, just a little surprised. ”

The fluorescence that surrounded them gradually dissipated, and Takitatsu stood up with the help of Tifa Devierwood.

"Please follow me all the way, it's easy to get lost in the forest at night."

"Thank you."

Ten years of loneliness, with the arrival of another new life, Takichen did not have any excessive emotional changes. However, this half-elf girl left a deep impression on Takichen's heart, perhaps because of the loneliness she endured after ten years of absence, coupled with such a special scene, she couldn't help but be a little interested in her.

After the glowing gem disappeared and the forest returned to its original appearance, Takitatsu followed the elven girl's footsteps and kept the distance within a more comfortable range.

"I can understand the language of this world, and it must have something to do with the vanished gem."

Takichen remembered that the soft light of the first sight, and the warmth between his lips, was not some lucky encounter.

Devile Wood wore a sunhat and cleverly concealed her pointed ears under the hat.

Wearing a sunhat at night, Tifa's unusual behavior catches Takita's attention.

"Maybe she just doesn't want anyone to notice her pointy ears, which should be inhabited by humans. No, maybe it's just that I'm too careful, how can elves live in the same land as humans. I just heard her say that she is a hybrid of humans and elves, and I can't rule out the possibility that she will not be treated well on both sides of humans and elves. ”

Later, Takichen saw the ring that Tifa Devilwood was wearing on his hand, and the ring that was supposed to be set with gems was now empty and exposed to the air.

In the forest, a wooden house appeared in front of Takitatsu's eyes, it seemed to be many years old, and even the eaves were covered with moss.

"Please wait in the house."

Tifa walked to the other side of the cabin.

"Hmm."

Wood burns in the fireplace, the warm firelight illuminates the cottage, and the furniture can almost be described as succinct.

The wooden door creaked, and Tifa walked in with a basket of fruit.

Looking at this warm but slightly lonely wooden house, Takichen couldn't help but have some questions: "Have you always lived in such a secluded place?" ”

Except for a bedroom where he could sleep, there was no one to be found in the house, except for Tifa Devierwood, and even when walking on the forest path, all he could see was trees and bushes.

"Where's your family?"

"Mother... passed away..."

Devile Wood's expression was visibly depressed, as if she didn't want to think back to the past.

"I'm sorry for touching the pain in your heart."

"It's okay, it's all fate..."

Tifa handed Takitashi a glass of warm water.

"Fate... It's quite sad. ”

There was some unconcealable sentimentality in Takichen's tone, and he himself met Tifa Devierwood because of this incredible fate.

"You've been living here alone for a long time, are you going to see the outside world?"

Because of this short-lived consensus, Takichen said something that even surprised him, such a sudden invitation is really not in line with his style, as for fate, he will not agree.

"Is that okay?"

As if the long-awaited anticipation had been answered, Devile Wood's body trembled slightly, all she needed was a reason, a reason to leave here, someone who was willing to invite her and take her out of here.

"Of course, I'm getting ready to get out of here."

Takichen suddenly asked casually, but he didn't expect Devil Wood to refuse.

"But... Humans are scared, they hate... Elves or something, they must be the same when they see me. ”

Devile Wood looked a little uneasy, and despite her best efforts to control it, her eyes were on Takita, as if she wanted to seek answers from Taki.

"I won't dislike you just because you're a half-elf."

Looking at Devile Wood's slightly expectant gaze, Takichen knew that all she wanted from her mouth was recognition.

When she walked in the forest before, Takitsu had already probed this area with her domineering look, and there were indeed no people, and the only old wooden house in Wood Village she said was this.

"Actually, I've always wanted to see the wider world, but I'm also scared."

"Wouldn't that be nice? If you want to go out and have a look, let's go together. Although there are stubbornness and prejudices everywhere, there is also a good side to human beings, and perhaps everyone's perception of elves has changed. ”

"Thank you!"

A bowl of vegetarian chowder with a few pieces of chopped fruit, the wooden bowl in Takita's hand filled with steaming mushroom soup.

I haven't eaten such a bland food for many years, and even though there is only a bowl of salad mixed with a variety of vegetarian dishes, Takichen still tastes it very carefully.

"What were you looking at?"

After taking the salad, Takitaki noticed the ring in Devile Wood's hand: "It doesn't seem to have any gems on it. ”

"This is a relic of the mother, and the gem melted and disappeared when she saved you."

"I'm sorry to have you used something so precious."

"No... Nothing, I just did what I was supposed to do. My mother, who passed away, taught me to help people in need. ”

"It's magic, isn't it?"

"Well, the gems in the ring are endowed with 'life magic', capable of recalling the souls of those who are about to die back into the world."

"If you have elven blood in your veins, you should be able to use magic, right?"

"I'm sorry... Please let me take a break. ”

Perhaps remembering sad memories, the eyes that looked at the ring were a little sad.

"Can you borrow the kitchen? When it comes to hometown food, I'm still very confident in myself. ”

Perhaps thinking that dinner was a bit shabby, or perhaps wanting to do something for Tifa, Takichen got up and walked to the place that barely made up for the kitchen.

There is no salt or oil, and the only thing that can be used as a seasoning is oranges.

Shiitake mushrooms, carrots, oranges, and almost all of the ingredients that could be used in the wooden house were placed on the counter, and even the iron pot with the mushroom soup was a little damaged.

"Are there rivers or lakes or anything like that?"

Looking at the almost shabby ingredients, Takichen turned to look at Tifa, who was taking a sip of the hot soup.

"The river is far away, and you can see the lake after about an hour's walk along the path outside."

After a moment's thought, Devil Wood told Takitatsu the direction.

"Can you eat meat? The elves I know seem to be vegetarians. ”

"Although I don't understand what you're saying, I don't hate meat."

Although she wondered why Takitaki said this, she didn't ask, even her mother, who was an elf, didn't hate food that contained meat.

"Please wait a minute, I'll be back in a moment."

"It's dangerous in the forest..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you save me again."

Takitsumi interrupted Devile Wood's unfinished words and replied jokingly.
