Part 6

Wait, what? That's come out of nowhere, defeating it she says, that's impossible, isn't it? If she who on my level cant defeat it then it the same case for me.

What about teamwork? On the surface that's seems like a good idea however, it's not a good idea. If she, who basically the ruler of the forest cant defeat it alongside her minions or friends or whatever she has, adding me will not create much big a difference.

The prospect to defeat Evil Tree is very appealing to me, defeating that kind of creatures will surely make my level skyrocketed, which means more strength to me, which only make me strong.

Overall I deemed this task to be high risk and high reward, so high, in fact, it can change the entire game. If failed the results might be dying, but if successful I will thrive. I need more information to better understand it.

I look toward her with a serious face, she also looks at me with the same face, that face, that seriousness, it all contrast to her previously smiling and flirty demeanour. Let's try it out, let risk it out! In the end, I will be benefited too.

"What that serious face, you make me nervous Mr Wolf"

"What if I say yes to your previous offers?"

This woman she can change the atmosphere in an instant, from flirty to serious to flirty again. Damn, this is my first time seeing something like that in real life. Dangerous, she is dangerous.

"What do you mean?"

Don't tell me... She wants to dismiss it.

"Fighting together to defeat Evil Tree, that what I mean"

"Ara~ that's just a joke, I just want to see how serious Mr Wolf react to that. I am not disappointed with the results, seeing a handsome face after so long is always refreshing, right Mr Wolf?"

Huh... That's clear, not a joke. Well, whatever, she has a got chance of recruiting me and in the final minute, she dismisses it, calling it as a joke. I just want to say, don't regret your choice later on.

"ignoring me again, Mr Wolf sure is a cold man"

"Whatever, to next topic, what kind of race this forest have"

There is no end if I only flirting back and forth with her, so I change the topic to be about the forest, after all, my intention from the start is to gather information, not flirting and surely not trying to be a hero.

... This woman, why she not answering me? Did she want to ignore me? I look to her face to find the answer I seek, only to found her smiling face. I got it, I got it, stop that face, it pissed me off.

"Ok, I get it, what do you want?"

"Ara~ that's good of you Mr Wolf"

You women! Huh... Control your emotions me, if you play by her rules, before you know it you will be her toy. Scary, imagine being a toy to unknown beauty with a personality like here, some people might find that heaven, but not for me.

"Ok ok Mr Wolf, just please stop that serious face you make me blush"

You didn't even blush!

"What I want is simple, one demand and that all"

"What kind of demand?"

All kind of demand is an ok for me, except the unreasonable one. But I expect it to be unreasonable, after all, she is the one that makes the demand.

"That is a secret, I will reveal it later when I need it, understood Mr Wolf"

I have no choice but to nod my head. Shit, I just dig my own grave with that demand of her, technically with the demands of her she can do whatever she wants with me.

"Just don't be unreasonable with the demand"

"Ara~ I know about it, after all, I don't want to make Mr Wolf my enemy"

That's good to hear, it makes my heart a bit lighter and makes my face smile, at least she knows my position. The fact that she didn't see me as someone lower than her, make me quite happy. I guess recognition is always a pleasant thing to have in any type of world.

"Then answer my earlier question"

"Ara~ demanding is it, I like that. For the question, you ask, Mr Wolf, many races live in this forest. But I will only give you a race that stand out, that includes Goblin, Orge, Troll, Frogman, Lizardman"

That's quite a lot, Goblin is what a normal person would expect to have in any kind of fantasy world, for Orge and Troll they like big size Goblin with their distinct traits. Frogman and Lizardman that's quite unique, are they strong? Do they have unique abilities? I love to find that out myself.

"Who is the strongest among them all?"

"I would say the dragon race is the strongest among them"

What? A dragon they exist? The most common strongest creature in the fantasy world, is she saying they exist. But a dragon, she didn't even mention one, why she brings that up?

"Ahaha... That's quite the face you make Mr Wolf. And if you are wondering why I mention a dragon, that because the face your making right now is cute Mr Wolf"

She got me huh, well whatever, I don't care too much about my face, after all, I can change it whatever I want. The dragon is more important than my face, what kind of dragon is that and what kind of abilities they possess, I want to know more.

"What kind of dragon you are talking about"

"Not quite conventional Dragon however technically they are still part of Dragon race, Hydra ever heard of that?"

A Hydra, what luck I have, they are one of the strongest monster most fantasy world has, not only they are strong their abilities are strong too. Ability to regrow head if cut, and ability to same multiple heads at one body.

"Judging by your face, you seems to have to known Hydra, sorry to disappoint you, but this Hydra is unique"

"Unique? What do you mean by that"

Did the Hydra had any problem with its body? Or is it so strong that I have no chance of defeating it?

"You see, this poor Hydra only have three heads instead of nine, its mom and dad only come to this forest to give birth"

That's too bad, not only the Hydra is defective, it's the only one left in this forest. For now, I have no intention to kill it, but I still have an interest in its head ability, god, I wish there are three of them.

"Mr Wolf, Don't kill it"

She looks at me with a serious face again, this woman face is truly a wonder for me.

"I know, I will not kill it"

... At least for now.

"Then that is good! Mr Wolf do you still have any more questions?"

"No, I don't"

The sun is already beginning to fall, I have to spend a lot of time talking with this woman. Honestly, I still have quite a lot of questions however, this is already taking too long, let's end it here.

"Can you do me a favour, Mr Wolf?"

"Is this your demand?"

I hope it is, the quicker she says her demand the quicker my shoulder weight will be lifted. But as expected it is not here demand.

"It is not, but please can you do me a favour?"

"Fine, say it, just don't be unreasonable"

I already destroyed her garden and got lots of useful information from here, what could go wrong doing some favour for beautiful woman.

"Can you go with me to meet my friends?"

What kind o friends she has, I got a bit curious about it, maybe a beautiful woman too, or maybe some important people in the forest?

"When?"

"Right now"

What? Right now is she nuts, we only meet a day and barely know each other and she wants to bring me to her friends, what a scary woman are you.

"Ara~ don't tell me Mr Wolf is afraid? Don't worry my friends is not dangerous, they are pretty too, you know"

Yes, I'm afraid, I'm not in my perfect condition to defend myself today, I already spent a lot of mana restoring back the gardens. And the biggest concern is I don't know her well enough and don't know her friends, going with her to her friends is akin to suicide for me.

"I can't do that, but someday I will go with you, I promise"

"When will that day come?"

Maybe a month is enough, I just need to level up myself so I could fight her and her friends, just to be safe.

"Give me at least a month and I will go with you"

"I will miss you"

What you miss, we only meet today, it's not like I'm your important person or something. But I will keep a contact with her to gain more information about this forest and maybe this world.

"We can still keep in contact with each other"

"Ara~ you are right. Good night and have a nice dream, Mr Wolf"

"Good night to you too"
