Chapter 8 First Elf

Chapter 8

First Elf

I entered the city following the soldiers.

Seeing that I was a child, one of the soldier tried to carry the girl by extending his hand, but I refused by moving away.

The soldier just smiled bitterly and continued to lead me inside.

Yeah I am an extremely cautious person you know.

After that I who was carrying lily (the girl I saved),along with Philia san and Robert san (the soldier who offered to carry Lily) walked on the main road that lead inside the city.

There are also two guards following behind us. So I am in middle.

At the gate Philia san again chanted the telepathy magic and asked.

(Do you have any ID like adventures guild card or citizen card)

(No, sorry)

(Well that's fine....

Now we will go to Helium sensei who is the best doctor here and get some medicine for the girl....

So follow me. After that you will tell me all details regarding how you met her at the guard station, OK.)

(OK)

Helium sensei? The image of a bloaty person comes in my mind for having such a gaseous like name.

She seemed a little wary but she is helping us despite that, so she is not a bad person I think, unlike the nobles portrayed in the novels.

We walk on the street.

There were faint white glow coming from some houses. There were also magic street lamps along the road.

Our group is carrying light magic tools too so its only bright around here.

Still its not too bright to see much of the city or the houses completely.

I looked up in the sky and there was no moon there.

Either there is no moon in this world or today is a no moon day.

But stars are shining brightly. The configuration of stars is quite different from our world.

While I was walking while looking up, Philia san who was in front of me came to halt for some reason.

I who was not looking forward lightly bumped into her with Lily in my hand.

"Sorry"

Lisa san did not pay much mind to it.

She seemed to have guessed that I apologized in my language and just waved her hand.

Then she gestured me to look forward while walking.

That was embarrassing. After that we continued walking.

To divert my mind I decided to scan the light magic tool they all seem to carry.

-----------------------------------------

Name .............. Luminus lamp

Category........... Light magic tool

Grade................D

Life....................2 months

------------------------------------------

The number of rows has increased.

Does that mean my scan level went up.

Let me appraise myself and others.

While walking I decided to appraise myself, Lily, Philia san and other soldiers.

----------------------------------------------

Name....................Ray

Race.................... Ancient Human

Age ..................... 16

Gender.................. Male

-------------------------------------------------

The result was disappointing.

The new thing added for people was only gender row, which can be known as it is.

Lets just continue walking.

I followed the group and after turning a few times we stopped in front of a two story building.

Then one of the soldiers (Robert san) went forward and knocked on the closed door of the building.

The door opened after some time and a middle aged man with long white hair came out.

He and Robert san talked something while pointing towards us.

The middle aged man then bowed towards Philia san and after that we went inside the building.

Philia san seems to be quite a respected knight here.

I decided to scan the man while following the group in the building.

----------------------------------------------

Name...................... Helium

Race.........................Mixed Elf

Age........................... 60

Gender..................... Male

-------------------------------------------------

Wow he is a mixed elf.

And even though he looks middle aged, he is 60.

Due to dim light I cannot see his ears properly but they do seem a little pointed.

Elf san or should I say Helium san brought us to a room on right of the building.

Then he started talking to Robert san and Philia san.

After some time a nurse lady also entered the room.

I scanned her but she was just an ordinary human.

After that we were all gestured to sit on the chairs in the room.

This room has many light magic tools on its roof and walls so its quite bright in here.

The room was like a clinic room of sorts.

Gestured by helium san I put Lily on the table set in the side of the room.

Helium sensei then began examining lily's condition. He first examined her breathing, then her pulse.

Then he chanted some magic. There was no light effect this time. But I could see Helium sensei's eyes were somewhat glowing.

My guess is, it might be a kind of appraisal for diseases.

Helium sensei seems to be a good doctor. Rather than just relying on appraisal, he also checks the patient's pulse and other symptoms.

After the examination was over, Helium sensei told Philia san about the condition of lily.

Philia san then told me through telepathy that there was nothing seriously wrong with lily.

She seemed to have only slight dehydration, and the fever was due to exertion and stress.

She told me to leave lily there for the night and with some rest she would be fine.

She said that the nurse would look after her. So I left her there.

Now that lily is safe, I almost felt a huge load just lifted off my shoulder.

What a hectic journey I just did. Now that I was feeling relieved, I started to feel tired.

My whole body started to ache and I was extremely hungry and thirsty too.

But after that I was taken back to guard station by Philia san and company.

Seems like I will not be able to rest just yet.

I was taken to a room in the Barack like facility that was built at some distance from the entry gate of the town.

I donot know anything about this town nor its name.

Heck I donot even know the name of the country.

Now that I think about it, am I not an extremely suspicious person.

I just hope I can pass as an ignorant kid.

After coming to the room, I was given water and served something like a soup in a bowl.

I decided to scan it before eating.

I have an extremely suspicious personality you know.

Its all due to the regular betrayals that I faced daily in my previous life.

My family was one that spoke lies for no reason. Sometimes just to make me angry.

But to their disappointment I refused to be their entertainment and never showed any reaction to their false accusations.

Hence I was called a stone and heartless person without emotion by my family.

Enough of that past though. Lest see what we have here

-------------------------------------

Name ...............Poshtush soup

Category...........Vegetable soup

Grade............... C

Life.................. 2 days

-------------------------------------

So it's a vegetable soup.

Does the grade here tells the taste. And it seems like it will be ok till 2 days.

"Itadakimas!"

I started eating what was given, while being grateful.

The cutlery was a bronze bowl and spoon.

The vegetable soup tasted great. It was made with potatoes, eggplant and some other vegetable that I did not recognize.

It had mild spicy taste that would go great with rice.

This room is what can be called an interrogation room.

There is a table and 4 chairs, 2 on one side and 2 on other.

After I finished eating, Philia san and Robert san came and sat in front of me.

Philia san chanted telepathy magic and started the interrogation.

If possible I wanted an alone date with Philia san without the uncle Robert.

Now that I have calmed down, looking at her, I can see she is very beautiful.

I am feeling nervous. Infact thankyou for coming Robert san, I might have started stuttering while speaking to her alone otherwise.

Sorry I called you uncle even though you are only 20.
