Chapter 208: Where is the ELEGANCE?

Chapter 208: Where is the ELEGANCE?

"Hmm, I am on a mission at the moment but when we were resting we felt some rather violent quakes that we couldn't ignore, Oh My! this Rollcake is delicious," Alea answered Haru with a blissful look while eating.

"Sorry about that, would you like another slice as an apology?" Haru asked with a smile.

"Fufu, As reluctant as I am, I would not let this kind gesture go," Alea spoke in a knightly way while Haru just gave her another slice and she stuffed her face in the plate again in an unknightly way with a heart-warming smile.

'Where is the ELEGANCE?' Haru couldn't help asking himself in his mind while looking at Alea.

'Anyway, If she was a cat I am sure her tail would be wagging right now,' Haru thought while watching the practice with Alea silently listening to the birds chirping with butterflies fluttering around the table.

Kyu~

Haru looked at the source of the voice and saw Sylvie who looking at him with an expectant look.

"Yes I didn't forget about you, Here you go," Haru smiled before giving her a bowl full of fried Monster Meat.

KYU~! KYU~! KYU~!

Sylvie was over the moon as she started stuffing herself with food.

Alea looked at the kids training with their all and smiled beautifully.

"Do you like watching kids?" Haru asked since he had seen her be extremely happy around younger kids.

[E/N: This sounds so wrong and I know Ed did it on purpose,]

"Yes, if my brother was here he would be about their age," Alea said with a somewhat sad smile.

"I see, I am sorry for your loss," Haru said while looking at everyone training.

"Oh, he isn't dead though," Alea said quickly.

"Wait, what? sorry for assuming," Haru was taken aback by her words and quickly apologized.

"Pftt, hahaha," And Alea burst into laughter while looking at Haru.

"Well, I am joking, he did pass away," Alea said with a small smile.

"You really like your jokes, don't you?" Haru said with a sigh.

"Yes, I like them about this much," Alea said while placing her hands in front of her chest like she is measuring a big box.

"That's quite an odd sense of measurement," Haru said while shaking his head.

"Come on, you could've at least laughed to console me," Alea spoke with a pout as Haru shrugged.

"….But watching other kids his age makes me wonder how he would've been, when he would've grown older, He never liked fighting so I think he would like to become a scholar or a professor or maybe a Librarian since he like quiet places," Alea spoke slowly while looking at kids who laughing and joking with each other while continuing their practice.

"I guess, it would be great if he didn't become a ball of energy like you," Haru said while taking a sip of his tea.

"Ow, Professor that is so rude, I am not annoying at all," Alea said with a sulking expression.

"…I never said you were annoying but whatever," Haru said making Alea pout unhappily.

"Well, this is the reason I wanted to become stronger so that I can hopefully make it so other families don't end up like mine," Alea spoke while sipping her tea.

"I hope you succeed," Haru said as Alea smiled.

"I also hope to make a family of my own," Alea said with a teasing tone.

"Good luck on that as well," Haru said flatly.

"Mou, Professor you are no fun," Alea sulked as she didn't get the reaction she was looking for.

After a bit of silence,

"Thank you for playing along with me," Alea spoke in a small voice.

"No problem," Haru just smiled lightly.

The atmosphere around them was quite relaxing like they were sitting in their backyard but the point was that they were in one of the most dangerous places on this continent.

"Kuh, Is this some new type of torture," Elijah was fuming as he continued his sit-ups while looking at Haru talking with Alea.

"This....Damn....Professor...How....Dare…..He.....Cheat…..On…..My....Sister…..So...Blatantly?" Randel spoke while doing squats with an angry tone making others roll their eyes for the nth time.

They didn't know why Randel was so accusing Haru when he wasn't even in a relationship with his Sister and they thought one thing...

'He low-key wants Professor to his brother-in-law, doesn't he?'

But they didn't let it distract them and continued to train till they finished the whole practice, It was hellish training for them that they didn't want to do but it showed results and also increased their performance as well.

"Hmm, Professor Haru is there something on my Face?" Alea asked.

"Ah, No I am sorry for staring like that," Haru said with a wry smile, It looks like he was staring at her for a long time.

'Is there something wrong with my eyes?' Haru thought as he glanced at Alea who had a teasing smile on her face.

But it wasn't the appearance of the beautiful elf that caught his eye, it was the dark gloomy aura around her. It was the first time Haru had seen this. He didn't know if his eyes were playing tricks on him which in itself is a ridiculous thought.

But even then his curiosity got the better of him and he tried to observe the aura more closely which led to him staring at Alea for so long.

And the more he observe the aura the more curious he got about it, it had a Dangerous and suffocating feeling with also a certain Tranquillity to it, If he had to sum it up then…..

'…..Is this what death looks like?' Haru thought in his mind trying to figure out why he saw this.

'Is this perhaps related to the Trail that happened last night?' Haru contemplated about what happened last night when he was training in the Relictombs.

It happened after finishing his normal fight with the Fire Beasts, Haru was meditating to learn more about Aether but suddenly a Giant figure made of Fire appeared in front of him.

The giant that was sitting in a lotus position like it was meditating in front of Haru had a humanoid appearance it had an angry look with frowning brows and temple, it had a fierce look on his face with sharp tooth pointing out of his mouth and looked anything but like someone meditating.

It was only wearing its lower garments while his ripped body was exposed. The giant had many different types of ornaments on its wrists and neck.

'Kurumi told me that it was a trail for me which will help me master my powers, Hmm I don't know why but I feel like they are connected somehow, should I ask Kurumi about it tonight?' Haru thought while trying to think on his own about the current situation.

Seeing Haru look away Alea thought that he was being embarrassed because she caught him looking at her. This made her want to tease him.

"Fufu, Has Professor Haru taken a liking to me?" Alea spoke with a teasing grin.

"…Perhaps," Haru answered absent-mindedly.

"Eh?" Alea was shocked and blinked before a slight blush came on her cheeks.

'W-What he just admitted to it?' Alea expected Haru to be a little flustered considering he is a married man so openly saying that he has taken interest in her, This was a move she didn't expect.

'I guess this is the reason he has four wives,' Alea nodded and was impressed at Haru's straightforward personality.

Alea smiled and watched the kids train while eating the snacks. Haru was not paying much attention to the training rather he was in a world of his own thinking about what was happening.

"Professor Haru, do you mind if I eat your portion?" Alea asked innocently because she had finished the roll cake and the slice remaining was on Haru's plate, who didn't show any intention of finishing it.

Alea was blushing a bit since it was quite shameless for her to ask this since it was already on Haru's plate and he had already taken a bite of it. But it wasn't every day she got to eat such delicious snacks since it was made by Haru's wives.

She liked the white creamed Rollcakes, it was her favorite and after watching for 20 minutes to confirm that Haru won't be eating them, so she asked for it while suppressing her embarrassment. [E/N: I don't know If this is intentional or not,]

"Yes go ahead," Haru asked without looking he wasn't really focused on a roll cake slice at the moment.

"Thank you," Alea smiled brightly and picked up the roll cake from Haru's plate with her fork but she stopped in the middle.
