Chapter 117 Kris' Ethereal Appearance
Chapter 117 Kris' Ethereal Appearance
?
Grabbing Kris' hands, Seri excitedly said, "You look really gorgeous, I wanna be like that too!"
Kris' eyes that were looking at Alex shifted to Seri and she smiled, "Thank you, Seri. I'm also so happy. Now, maybe I can also go with you when you hunt."
Seri pumped her fist and said, "Yes! We can hunt some strong monsters together!"
Kris nodded.
At this time, Alex walked forward and said, "Congratulations, Kris."
"Thank you, Alex. If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have finish this quest and obtain the Moonlight Elf Spirit Archer class." Kris said, full of gratitude in her words.
Alex smiled, "You told me that you'll give me a great reward, right? So, I wonder what that is."
Hearing that, Kris remembered her promise.
"Ah, ehm, well, I'll give it to you the day after tomorrow." She said, unsurely.
Seeing her like that, Alex shook his head and said, "Well, it doesn't matter."
"Anyway, now that I'm finished helping you, I have to go back home now."
Saying that, Alex turned around and about to leave.
Seeing that, Kris hurriedly stopped him, "Ah! Alex, wait!"
"Hmm?"
Alex turned back to look at her and asked, "Is there something else that you need?"
"That, didn't you hear? We're preparing a feast. Aren't you going to stay and eat first?"
Alex shook his head, "Nah, I want to go back home right now and relax at the comfort of my own home."
"Anyway, I've done a lot of things since this morning, so I'm actually pretty tired. Resting at home is what I want to do right now."
"Ah, is that so?..." Kris looked a bit downcast after hearing that Alex already wants to leave.
But she also knows that Alex already helped her a lot today.
Asking him to stay for the celebration even though he already wants to rest would be too much.
Kris thought for a while and finally saie, "Well, then let me accompany you to the tower. It's quite far from here so-"
But before she even finished talking, Alex interrupted her, "You don't have to, Kris."
"I can go back on my own."
After a short pause, Alex added, "Plus, this celebration is for you. If the main character of the feast isn't here, don't you think it's a bit rude to them?"
Kris immediately came to a realization because of Alex's words.
Looking at those happy elves, joyfully preparing for tonight's feast, they would be disappointed if she isn't here.
In the end, Kris could only give up her thoughts.
Sighing, Kris felt bad and said, "Then, I'm sorry, Alex. I can't even accompany you back home even though you helped me so much today."
Alex waved his hand dismissively.
With a gentle smile, he said, "Don't mind it. It's just right of me to help you since you're my friend."
"Anyway, I should get going. I still have things I need to do."
After saying that, Alex turned around and started walking away.
He didn't even wait for Kris to respond and he already disappeared into the forest.
Staring at the direction that Alex walked away to, Kris felt some budding feelings sprouting in her heart.
"Is he really just gonna go like that?"
While Kris was in a daze, the voice of Seri who's been by her side all this time suddenly sounded.
"Ah!"
Kris was startled and immediately looked at Seri.
Seeing her reaction, Seri looked at her weirdly and said, "Why are you acting as if you've seen a ghost? I've been here the whole time, have you forgotten?"
"Ah, no, it's just… Anyway, let's go back to the bonfire. It seems like the feast is about to start!"
Saying that, Kris grabbed Seri's hand without warning and pulled her over to the bonfire.
…
After leaving the Elves' Community, Alex walked for a while in the forest.
Once he's finally far from the Elves' place, Alex looks around and makes sure that there's no one around.
Then without hesitation, Alex willed himself back to Earth.
The next moment, Alex disappeared from the forest.
When he appears again, he's already back to his own house.
"Ugh, I'm finally back home."
Alex immediately sat down on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.
Alex leaned his back to the sofa and stared at the ceiling.
He suddenly remembered Kris' ethereal appearance earlier and said, "She really looked stunning earlier… Sigh."
Sighing, Alex removed her image from his head.
Then, he looked around his house and said, "Still, my thought was actually right."
"My house is like the default place where I will appear on Earth when I'm traveling from Alter Dimension."
"Anyway, it's great since I can just relax and head to bed immediately. A lot has happened today and I'm really really tired."
Saying that, Alex closed his eyes to let it rest for a while.
However, Alex unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa after closing his eyes.
A peaceful night passed by silently.
The next day, Alex woke up early and started preparing.
Today is monday.
That means, Alex has to go to school today.
Last week, Alex didn't come to school for a whole week and so, he'll surely get called by his adviser to ask him what happened.
Anyway, after he finished preparing and ate his breakfast, Alex left his house and headed to school.
Yawn~
Still yawning, Alex unhurriedly walked down the road while feeling the fresh morning air.
"Ahh~ I've been occupied with a lot of things in the past few weeks. Walking like this lets me process everything in my head leisurely." Alex said.
At this time, Alex saw a hotcake vendor on the side of the road and suddenly craved for some.
Since he's not lacking in money anyway, Alex approached the vendor to buy some hotcakes.
"Good morning, please give me three hotcakes."
"Okay, sir. Please wait for a bit."
Alex nodded and waited while watching the vendor cook the hotcake in front of him.
While he's intently watching the vendor cook, someone suddenly tapped Alex's shoulder.
