The Forest Spring Spirits wanted to express their gratitude some more as they surrounded Simon. At this time, grandpa Fennel stepped forward and said "Why are you all still not inviting the benefactor inside? Is this how our Forest Spring Spirit Clan shows their thanks?".
His voice woke up the crowding villagers as they hurriedly tried to invite him inside. Simon was helpless as he was pulled inside by these many people and had no choice but to tag along.
Forest Spring Spirits were a peaceful race by nature and were never hostile to any beings. They harvested the gifts of nature and lived a life of seclusion. Showing favour to this race in their time of need was akin to earning their eternal gratitude and friendship.
Cecilia smiled as she saw how friendly her clansmen were being to her big brother.
