Chapter 13: Friend

1

The village seemed to be home of different groups of people, human, beast and demon.

Demon and human races looks exactly alike however demon has certain characteristics that distinguish from human like the color changing of eyes and hair according to my tutor.

Beast people were easily distinguishable. They certainly looked like an animal that got evolved to have characteristics of human. There're some beast races that don't look like human too, lizard race is one of them.

It seemed that they simply have animal like attribute like ears and tails plus their physical strength surpasses humans and this also is according to my tutor.

However I didn't see either beast people or demon people in the village.

The houses in the village were made of woods and most of the houses had trees in the yard.

Simply, I could see trees around or the corner of houses.

Children were playing together, running around the road, houses and chasing each other.

Villagers seemed nice and friendly plus their children too.

After days of going outside and exploring I found out that the village seemed to be mostly inhabited by human race. So it was common to see human being more than beast or demon people or any other races in the village.

I wanted to meet beast and demon people and greet and talk them in their own language but I didn't see any beast people nor demon people in the village.

I usually walked through the village to go to certain places or to get back from that certain place. So I didn't explore much populated area of the village.

Beast or demon people, they might lived deeper in the village or some other areas. So I was at fault for not seeing them since I didn't explore the populated area much because I didn't really like populated area much.

Villagers seemed to know about me because of my parents and my Master however not all of them.

I said hello to the people who said hello to me,

I waved back at the children who wave at me.

I greeted the people who passed by with a warm smile,

they replied back with a warn smile but that didn't always happen because I didn't always go out and didn't encounter people on the road walking.

I didn't introduce myself to the people however only after they asked me.

I found a perfect place to spend my quality time and practice magic and sword techniques alone.

It was situated a bit far from the populated area of the village near to my house and was near to the forest and river.

There were no crops field around it so I didn't have to worry about me damaging the crops while practicing magic.

Plus there were big trees everywhere since it was near the woods.

Also there was nothing to disturb my concentration while practicing magic or reading books.

I started to going there on random days.

There, I practiced my swinging with my wooden sword and read and practice languages as well as researched on my mana while swinging my wooden sword and also I practiced my magic plus enjoyed beauty of nature and explore forest and also did research.

Few days later.

I was getting there, at my usual place.

I'm getting better in beast language. At this rate I'll be fluent in no time. I just have to keep it up.

I can cast advance level magic spell easily now. I don't even need to chant a word.

It's thanks to my Master that I'm able to cast such advance level magic spell at this age. I would never reach at this level without her.

According to my Master, there are not many who can use magic without chanting. I was surprised when I heard that plus she told me that she also couldn't use magic without chanting. I told her to practice and one day she could cast it without chanting also.

I'm getting better in my sword skills however the progress is slow.

Thanks to the self-discovered breathing skill… well it's not skill but pattern breathing. I can now at least recover fast after getting out of breath and I can attack more powerfully then before.

As I was about to reach there I realized I picked the wrong book which was sword book instead of being the language book and started thinking about returning.

But I changed my mind and continued going there.

I reached there, at my usual place.

There I saw someone, a bishoujo.

She was watching the river.

Is she fishing? But where're the equipment?

Oh, she's just enjoying her time here.

Her hair was short above her shoulder seafoam blue in color. She has ivory skin with pink undertone.

"It is unusual to see anyone especially a child like you here, you know."

I said that because I never saw any person here before.

She looked at me the moment she heard me. Her beatific expression on her face turned into worried and curious one.

"Wooah…"

Her small cute lips and nose, her beautifully sculpted heart shaped face, her golden yellow eyes, cute small ears created ineffable aesthetic beauty of her.

I wanted to make her mine.

She raised her defense since I had my wooden sword with me.

"Um…um…"

"Hi, I'm Jason."

"Do you come here often?"

Of course she doesn't but asking doesn't hurt, right?

Yeah.

As I said that I moved a bit close to her.

"Um…, hello."

As she was blushing her cuteness overloaded.

Oh, she is so cute, I want to make her mine but to do that I've to take one step at a time with careful consideration otherwise she will disappear.

"Um…um…"

She was playing with her hair because of nervousness.

"Can I be my friend?"

First step done. Now I can only wait for her to say something.

"Eh!?"

She got surprised but why is she being surprised? Is it because I said I want to be her friend.

I think so.

"Or will you be my friend?"

"B-but…, why?"

"Well, there's no any reason, I just want to be friend with you."

"Can I not?"

"Can I not be your friend?"

"No…, I mean… yes you can…"

"Then we're friends from now on."

"Let me introduce myself again."

"Ahem, I'm Jason Eylvis."

"It's nice to meet you."

"What's your name?"

"My… n-name is I-vy."

Why is she being nervous? Is it because I'm a boy or she just bad at talking with people.

"Ivy, what a beautiful name it is."

She's happy.

Oh, so cute.

"By the way you can stay here a long as you like."

"I'm going to do my things here, so please excuse me."

"Don't worry, I'm a good boy I'll not attack or bully you in any way."

"This wooden sword is for my training."

"Here, you can read this book for the time being… however if you don't want to read it and want to go home just tell me before leaving."

She nodded her head up and down.

"Um..."

"…Thank you."

"Yeah."

I made my distance from her and started swinging my wooden sword. The target was to swing at least three hundred times.

While swinging it I thought.

This girl, she is cute and beautiful. She has long pointed ears. So she must be from elf race. Elf race is one of its own kind I think they are related to angel race.

What's it's called? Hm… oh right, moe anthropomorphize beings.

I guess beast people are kemonomimi since they are humanoid with animal like features mainly pair of ears or tails or having more then two boobies.

Wait more than two boobs, like three or four.

I wonder what would it look like.

Talking of which, It must be a pain to have bigger boobs for girls and if they have three or four big boobs the problem gets even broader.

But I love boobs, big or small, it doesn't matter if the boobs are of girls.

By the way I never had any girlfriend or accidentally grabbed or touch anyone's boobs in my previous life so I don't know how does it feel to touch them or how girls feel when their boob gets touched by someone.

Well, I actually know how they feel when their boobs getting touched by someone because of, you know what I mean.

But girls moaning in front of camera doesn't feel real, right?

They're simply acting, right?

Well, maybe or maybe not.

They might be enjoying it or just faking it. It's fifty-fifty, you know.

It also fifty by fifty if it's animated since voice actors give their voice to each characters but they're not, you know, doing it in real time as to make those wired noises, you know what I mean.

I died virgin in my previous life but I don't want to die without doing anything in this world.

For now I should just focus on learning.

I don't have to worry about my magic but my sword skills.

Wait, can I enhance my sword skills by magic?

Nope, there's no any magic like that.

If there's a magic like that then people wouldn't just train hard to get better at sword skills. They just use magic and become good at it.

No need to swing sword one thousand times per day or practice daily, you know.

But it's cheating to use magic just to enhance sword skills.
