The World Of Game Systems
Chapter 12 - Elf Forest and Getting to Know One

Everyone must have a reason because he does something, rational consideration of thought is defeated with self-esteem that is the law in this world. But if someone has lost self-esteem for the sake of his goal, the choice is absolute.

Hoshizora Taka, even though I just got to know her, I felt that every choice she made was never wrong. No matter what people around him think of him, only he knows what he is doing.

Apologizing as if he did all this, fine.

“As for Taka, already – already I do not know how to explain, most importantly everything is fine.”

I said it slowly, maybe it was enough to calm the situation down.

“Good, Mikadzuki, come here and apologize to him.” Accept Taka, then let go of my hands and called out to the girl standing behind him.

The elf girl approached me, a look of despair visible from the look on her face.

“I'm really sorry, I guess you're tailing Taka, because I see it looks like you're talking to someone.” He bowed his body before me.

“Ah, don't think about it. Everything has passed, I'm definitely sorry.” My reply.

It was only natural that if he made an unintentional mistake, everyone would have done that. Moreover, my situation is also better.

Taka and the elf girl smiled hearing that, it seemed like they had already solved one heavy problem.

“Omong – says he is my fiance, Mikadzuki Fin. As well as the elves in charge of the safety of this forest.” Taka.

‘Tu – tu – fiancee? Seriously though? This isn't a lie, is it? Oy Mashiro where are you, please explain this all.’ I said Surprised in my heart.

Mikadzuki instantly turned her face away, her long earlobes were also reddish in color. She blushed in embarrassment, then approached Taka.

“Aww! Why the hell.” His screams were in pain, his stomach was pinched by Mikadzuki.

“I-yes, I'm Aoi Syafiqi her friend Taka.” My salutations.

Mashiro still hasn't shown up, I'm a little worried about her. Usually not like this, once I look for him he must have come out of nowhere.

“Well you rest first tonight, we go first.” Taka chirps out of the room and followed by Mikadzuki.

I went back to sleep, a room almost completely made of wood that adds comfort with its own vibes. Night conveys what is unexpressed light, silent has its own noise and empty can not always be visited, such is the parable of this warm little room.

......................

The temperature changes drastically, in contrast to the night which is usually covered with cold air. The more the moon goes to its peak, the hotter the air too. Seemed my body moistened by sweat coming out of the body, a sheet of cloth like a blanket is not useful to warm the body, but become a sweat rinse like a towel.

I woke up from my sleep because of the unbearable sultry, trying to cool the body by fanning my palms a few times. Still, there's no change.

To avoid getting sultry I thought getting some fresh air and going outside was the best option.

Outside I was surprised by the view of this forest, moreover the house I stopped to rest in was inside a giant tree. No wonder it's a little hot in there. But this is really like a hidden village, a house in a tree similar to a fairy tale.

This may be the most beautiful natural charm I've ever seen in a lifetime, a bright night sky peppered with the sparkle of stars, a giant tree like a pole - a pole that pits the charisma of the sky, the wind blowing to and fro adds movement in the shadows. The giant mushroom that glittered dimly like street lighting in the city dyed the darkness of the night.

“I - beautiful, who would have thought there was a natural charm like this.” mumbled I was astonished.

Not long after that a small glint of light from a distance caught my attention.

“Falm firefly? No firefly as bright as that.” While approaching the source of the sparkle of light because of curiosity.

I saw a man in a light green robe, and an arrow on his back. Since she wears a hood on her head, I don't know the details either.

As I tried to peek at him from behind the tree, the man noticed my whereabouts, simultaneously followed by an arrow ready to be fired at me.

“Who's there?” He was holding tightly to the bow and arrow plus an inseparable look and pointed at the tree where I was hiding.

That person was the elf girl who was with Taka, Mikadzuki fin. I'm a little relieved.

“Sorry – sorry it's me.” I said while coming out from behind a tree.

Knowing that, Mikadzuki lowered her bow.

“Here, you've never seen this, have you?” Bring along.

“Good.”

I agreed. When the nearby panorama this time is very amazing, this elf forest turned out to be on a hill, and from here I can see the breadth of the night plains. All of this taught me that not everything in this world can be rationally explained.

“Mikadzuki - san, you don't sleep?” I asked to see Mikadzuki who had been silent from earlier.

“I'm a High Elf loh, I can stay awake for days without sleep.” He answered while showing the earlobe covered by golden green hair.

High Elves yes, as far as I am in comics or anime in my world, those races include noble blood. However, personality and circumstances change everything. Mikadzuki – san does not look like a noble, with the little arrows and daggers he carries he is more towards being an adventurer or a knight.

This quiet, silent atmosphere was really unpleasant, especially without any conversation between the two of us, so I decided to open a conversation with him.

“On this elf forest, if hidden in other words rarely people who know this huh?” My toot.

“Iya, even we meet other races like humans that are forbidden by the tips here, Huft...... indeed Taka does not explain that? Mikadzuki said annoyedly.

“Barned? Then what about Taka and I?”

Mikadzuki stretched out her legs, continuing to look down like a burden of thought in her.

“Entahlah, Taka is the son of an Elf who married a human. At first people here do not accept his presence, but over time he more and more help this village from hunters. The surrounding view that considers him the source of misery is now a well of pride, base Taka.” Her reply was happy, a beautiful smile adorning her sweet face.

'So that's the story, uh, meaning Taka and Asteria are elves? But they don't have long earlobes like elves, confusing.'

With that somehow I imagined the figure of Taka in my mind.

“If you think Taka is part of our race it is wrong, he is one of the humans in this village, even though his older brother is Elf.” Reciprocity.

“Asteria?” Without me noticing my mouth talking by itself, I slipped.

“She too, yet she seems to be hiding her ears behind her long hair.” Mikadzuki frowned, she seemed to be astonished as well.

“You didn't realize it? Asteria yes Asteria, she's cute isn't she?” Continue to watch my reddened face.

“Ah, I – Yes.” I turned my face away.

I don't want to show this stupid side anymore, I have to change the subject. Oh yea

“On the hunter you talked about earlier, is there anything like artifacts or rare animals in this forest?” I asked while looking at the beauty of the star that spent time with the moon.

“Lies if you don't know.” Reply Mikadzuki in a different tone, this time his hand was clutching a small dagger sheathed on the waist.

“Not – no, I really don't know anything.”

I panicked a little when I found out she was holding her little dagger.

“Really I don't know what, from here to.”

*glash!

Mikadzuki slashed at my neck, I saw the blood coming out from under my head. My vision slowly turned downward, it seemed like the slash had pierced through the neck bone so that the main support of the head could not be used properly.

The cold night is full of mystery, the darkness hides the hope of light. I realized that death had become my foothold, resigned to the situation and cut off all memories.

When I blinked my eyes, I did not know how to deal with Mikadzuki again. It was seen that he exhaled with his little dagger sheathed. Then smile at me. As if shining in the darkness of the night, the green robe of the wind revealed its true true nature.

“Sorry Aoi, I couldn't believe it before, but you really said what it is.” Reveal Mikadzuki while sheathing back the weight.

“…”

I was still confused by what happened, as if bearing all the expectations of the family, I could not find out anything about this incident. All I know is Mikadzuki slashed my neck just now.

I held my neck, many times. But there was no blood, neither was the scar. Mikadzuki who tilted her head saw me confused.

“Bo – lie right!” My yelling.

Mikadzuki laughed out loud – bahak, now she became like a child without any problems that were carried on her face.

“Haha, Sorry – sorry! You are really honest yes Aoi, if others may not have accepted what I did.” He cried while laughing incessantly.

“What..... means.”.

“So like this, someone will show everything in his eyeballs when he knows he is dead. Ah, as to whether there was regret in his life or not to accept his death, so to speak.” Evidently.

“This is what you did?” My lips.

“Eh. By the way, you do not know what about this forest?” The reply continued to shift the topic of conversation.

“Huhhh iyeah, therefore I ask you.” My misery.

Something like a hologram-shaped identity card appeared before Mikadzuki, then she started to look and shift the contents of the card and show it to me

“This is the entire Skill I have, oh yes before did you know if the elf race has natural magic?”

I saw the contents of the hologram card, it is true that this is the list of Skills it has. Like-such

[Passive Skill: Thin]

[Default power Skill: Wind]

[Active Skill: Eye Craftines]

[Skill Special: Crescent Moonlight]

“This may be a little different from yours, but this is how the Elf race is. Since birth we already have natural magic.” Reciprocity.

'Ah, Shit. No Mashiro, I don't really understand what's being said. But at least I know some of his skills, I will ask him to explain.'

“So your natural magic is the wind huh, then what does that have to do with the hunter you talked about earlier?” Manya make sure.

Hearing that, Mikadzuki took a big breath followed by her face looking towards the free sky where the universe stretched vast infinite, then exhaled it like throwing all her problems together with dirty air from her nose and mouth.

“On that yes, the hunter is a sect of justice. They all killed our race like cattle and took our blood just as much as they took the flesh of cattle. In their eyes, the elf race was just a high-level hunted animal that was whenever ready to be devoured.” Clearly Mikadzuki, Empty gazes gathered behind his eyes.

That instant was the sect of justice, until it hunted the elves just for its blood. Not only was Mashiro overwhelmed with the sect, even one Race was also terrified to hear its name.

“Blood? Maybe this is disrespectful, if you may know, what is the blood of elves used for?” I asked to put my chin resting on both hands.

“Even if not power, if someone drinks the blood of an elf one drop, instantly get the natural magic power of the elf in a short time. Just take for example, you drink my blood, then you will have my wind magic for a while and disappear in a few moments depending on how much blood you drink.”

The power, the law of the universe applies here, the weak are definitely oppressed and the strong will oppress. In this world the weak are sinful and the strong are sinners.

“Then why don't you fight it, instead you have magic that can flatten people such bastards.” Tegasku's upset.

“Free, in any way we lost a landslide with them. Magic barrier as well as anti-magic, what they don't have!” Crashing down on me, tears slowly filled her eyelids.

“Only a matter of time Our race will become extinct.” Wailing as he lowered his head, the teardrops fell on the fertile ground.

“…”

One night filled with the darkness of the universe, someone cried before the void of the sky, as if accompanying a silent heart. And that cry revives every taste that has died. Night never fails to kill a sad soul.

Mikadzuki wiped away the tears on her face, trying to stop and fight all that fear.

“Sorry Aoi, I look so silly in front of you.”

“Ah, it's okay it's also my fault asking that.”

“Yah's…. It's also time I told you that, moreover the Bonus Dungeon appeared in this forest. sooner or later people will definitely come looking for it, considering the residence time of a few more months.” Excited spirit, no more tears in his eyes. He stood up and held his bow facing the moon.

“Dungeon Bonus?” I asked while scratching my head.

“True, annual Dungeons that appear randomly in every place. Even though it is only 10 floors, it does not prove whether you are strong or weak, but it is worth it and not. The reward is also, after experiencing the smelting at least you will get Special Skill if lucky.” His spirit began to replace the grief that had passed.

A strong wind blew on his robe, moving his green hair adorned with a smile emanating from the face.

I was a little motivated after listening to Mikadzuki's explanation, I also wanted to enter the dungeon. At least I'll improve my skills.

“When are you there? I also want-.”

“Besok morning! Taka too, let's take it all!” Cut Mashiro with vigor.

I stood looking at the moon and the flashing beauty of the stars, Mikadzuki also smiled happily to see me. The dark seal of the night, will surely produce a luminous star, and light has its own way of entertaining the night from desolation. With this I am sure I will be able to fight from scratch with my friend who always accompanies me in this world.

“Omong talking moon is beautiful isn't it?” I saw the moon sparkling brightly without any clouds daring to block it.

I didn't realize Mikadzuki's face turned red, then she turned her face away, but the elf's slightly longer earlobe couldn't hide her embarrassment.

*bruk!

“Stupid! Taka just never said that to me!” His impact was followed by a bow blow towards my head and then blurred.

“A-a-ouh Sick loh, what the hell is he.” My elah rubbed my head.

Seriate…..

(Note: Tsuki ga kirei desu ne or the moon is beautiful isn’t? is a Japanese phrase that means “Moon is beautiful well?” which can be interpreted as “I love you”. This interpretation comes from an anecdote about the poet Natsume Soseki. When he became an English teacher, he explained that the sentence “I Love You” is not appropriate if it is translated directly into Japanese and uses this phrase as a replacement.)
