Chapter 21: Village Of Elves (4)

Huuu.

Pia sighed as she approached Ray.

At first glance, she seemed drained of energy.

Why are you like this?

Its nothing.

Ray had a rough idea of the situation, remembering that the elder had imposed a gag order.

From her words, instructing even their fellow elves to keep silent, he could vaguely understand that this was not an ordinary issue.

Ray questioned her as she clung to the railing, her gaze fixed on the tall house.

Is that person ill?

Huh? You.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Pia looked at him in surprise, then sighed again and met his gaze.

Yes Theyre very ill.

Are they close to death?

Yes. Theyre close to death.

She didnt know why she was sharing such a story with someone she had only met a few hours ago, but his pure mana and sincere eyes somehow made her feel comfortable.

She felt oddly calm next to him.

Pia turned her head to look at Ray.

Ray was staring at the tall house with a worried expression.

Seeing his figure, Pia chuckled.

Are you worried? Youre a human, and were elves. We belong to different races.

She tossed out the words without much expectation, but Ray continued to gaze at the tall house for a while before he spoke.

Thats true. Were all different. People dont even fully understand each other, let alone share the same interests with other races.

Thats true

Although she didnt expect it, hearing those words made her feel even more drained.

Seeing her drooping ears, Ray also chuckled.

I dont think its laughable to worry about another race.

Huh?

Who I worry about is my business. No one has the right to interfere with my feelings. I dont think being of a different race makes us significantly different. Were living beings with hearts, even if our bodies are different, arent we?

As he spoke, Rays gaze shifted again. A small longing was evident as he looked at the tall house.

What human would utter such words in front of an elf like her?

From his speech and gaze, an unfamiliar passion was evident.

The elves unique sense of truth, the Eye of Truth, loudly proclaimed that his words were genuine.

Pia was stunned and speechless when she heard loud voices from below.

Youre correct!

Remarkable! Human child!

We heard everything! Youre welcome in our village!

The elves, who appeared to have been eavesdropping, grinned and cheered.

Rays heartfelt words stirred their hearts, which cherished nature and revered life.

Elves began emerging from their homes, intrigued by the commotion, and as their gazes landed on him, Ray awkwardly scratched his head.

Ray had dedicated himself to treating and caring for patients in the modern world.

Thus, his words of concern for the patient could not be false.

Who would have imagined that a few words from a human, a race often deemed deceitful and treacherous, would touch their hearts?

Furthermore, there was not a single lie in his words.

Because his words were filled with nothing but sincerity, he was able to captivate their hearts.

The elves who had just emerged from their homes heard the situation and smiled at each other, saying,

Stay strong, human child!

If theres something difficult, Ill assist you too!

Since Rays house was tall, they spoke loudly.

Ray also raised his hand and responded.

If theres something difficult, will you come here first? Is that acceptable?

Come here anytime you want!

Yes! Anytime!

Watching them made their worries seem to float away.

A simple and pure race.

He realized that he had become comfortable in the elves village.



Upon arriving at Pias house, Ray was seated, sipping tea.

Pia, who had been silently observing Ray from her house, snapped back to reality when he set down his cup.

She was surprised to find herself continuously gazing at Ray.

Why am I behaving like this?

As she pondered her physical state, Ray addressed her.

Pia, I need a favor.

Uh, what is it?

Before they realized it, the mana gradually lightened, and as Rays wound began to show itself, the elves who had regained their senses stared blankly at Ray.

The flow of blood slowly ceased.

There was no sign of the piercing wound.

Ray slowly lifted his body.

If there is someone who can heal that elf, its probably me.

Pias vacant eyes shifted to the wound on her thigh.

The wound that had healed in an incredibly short time.

Moreover, since it was a wound inflicted by mana, there was no guarantee that it would heal even if treated with a spell.

Even the priests struggled to heal wounds caused by mana.

Her gaze wavered.

You

Her voice wavered as well.

This was the power of mana.

She might truly be able to heal.

While Pia was deep in thought, Ray pointed out the window and said,

But

Only then did Pia understand.

Those who had been observing them from outside the window were still there.

Fortunately, the door was shut, and they had spoken in hushed tones, so it seemed that none of the elves had overheard their conversation.

Even if they had, there was nothing in the discussion that would cause concern.

Feeling relieved, Pia opened the window and yelled,

Is the show over for everyone? Disperse! Disperse!

The elves, who had been entranced by the spectacle until then, snapped back to reality.

They looked at Lei again.

Impressive.

Im not sure if she can really be an assistant.

To be an assistant at such a young age This must be the youngest assistant in history.

Lei scoffed at their words.

I told you Im not becoming an assistant.

Whether they heard Leis final words or not, they turned around one by one under Pias glare.

Eventually, the last remaining elf waved his hand and left. Pia closed the window and looked at Lei.

The crimson sunlight streamed through the window frame.

Pia, standing in front of it, was truly an elf.

Looking at her, Lei thought she truly belonged to a race renowned for their beauty.

He swallowed hard and said,

You mentioned you wanted to be healed.

The atmosphere turned serious.

Yes.

Ill speak with the elder. Ill do my best, but if it doesnt work out, theres nothing more I can do.

Thats sufficient.

Then rest here today, and lets visit the elder early tomorrow.

Lei shook his head at Pias suggestion.

I need to return home.

Ah

She nodded her head.

The conversation didnt feel like talking to a child, so sometimes she would forget that Lei was young.

Like now, for instance.

Pia chuckled.

Alright. Arrive early tomorrow morning. You know the way, dont you?

Yes.

Do you want me to escort you?

No. Ill walk.

It was sunset, so instead of walking, he would likely have to run a bit faster.

Lei, who had quickly stepped outside, waved his hand and bid her farewell.

See you tomorrow!

Yes.

As soon as he said goodbye, Lei began running. Pia murmured to herself as she watched him leave.

He still runs the same way.

His steps couldnt be described as running; it was more like gliding above the ground.

The elves who had tried to greet him froze their hands in mid-air, stunned by his remarkable agility.

Not long after, his figure vanished from sight, and Pia closed the door.

Her heart had been racing for some time, and it was starting to unsettle her.

Experiencing a new symptom she had never felt before, Pia tilted her head in confusion.
