Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

Oliver, Jill and Alicia got together to discuss the future.

It is no longer possible for the four of them to act together as they did before. Everyone should consider their own future direction, which is the point Oliver made.

They also considered activities other than Russell. But they just couldn't get interested. Because of Russell as the leader, their team could only be established. The three of them realized this again.

If that's the case, it would be better for everyone to disband. This was Oliver's opinion, and Jill and Alicia agreed.

"Well, that's about it. You can assume that the rumors are basically true. Before Russell wakes up, we decided to stay in the village for treatment or something."

"Well... well, how should I put it..."

Xu Zhen was honest and didn't know what to say. Lati and the others also remained silent and looked away awkwardly.

“You’re welcome, just say something. Like you deserve it, you deserve it. After all, Russell did those things to you.”

Alicia said this with a wry smile. Xu Zhen seemed a little confused about this and scratched his head: "No... To be honest, saying this now..."

It would be a lie to say that he didn't care. But everything was resolved, and in his mind, the matter was over. As he said, it would be a bit inappropriate to talk about it now.

He didn't plan to say anything to defend Russell. After all, he wasn't that close to Russell. No matter how he thought about it, this was a fact that could not be changed.

"Well. I'm not going to say anything to Russell. And I'm certainly not going to have anything to do with him anymore."

"Haha... yeah, that's right." Alicia accepted the answer with a wry smile.

To Xu Zhen, Russell was an outsider. Alicia knew this, so she accepted the answer now. It could even be said that this was very much like Xu Zhen.

Although Xu Zhen had considered it a little, he ultimately couldn't think of any other answer except this one.

In fact, if the village had not been in danger, he would have planned to ignore Russell being swallowed by darkness.

(It turns out that we were completely manipulated by Jacklun.)

It was Jacklen who created that opportunity. If he hadn't said anything, they might have waited until things died down, hiding near the river, or fleeing far away from Russell's reach.

(But thanks to this, we met Foreo. That's actually pretty good.)

Xu Zhen gently stroked the head of Foreo who was sitting on his lap. Foreo twisted his body comfortably, looking very cute.

Perhaps influenced by this atmosphere, other monsters also began to approach Xu Zhen in a coquettish manner. Xu Zhen smiled at each of them. Alicia was watching from the side and suddenly had an idea.

“Hey, Xu Zhen. How about we go to the river now?”

"riverside?"

The monsters and Xu Zhen turned their eyes to Alicia. Then Alicia stood up briskly, looked down at Xu Zhen and said, "Yeah. That's the river where we played together when we were little..."

Alicia's cheeks flushed, and there was a hint of excitement in her tone.

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

Alicia led the way, and Xu Zhen and the others walked in the forest.

The dense bushes have completely spread out, and it can be said that it is a road without a road. However, according to Alicia, it was a mature road ten years ago. Whether it is because no one is maintaining it or there are other reasons, it is completely unknown.

Soon the view opened up and a wide river beach opened up in front of him. Xu Zhen looked around the river beach and naturally recalled the past.

"If I remember correctly, I came here the day before yesterday..."

"Yes, it's where we stopped on the way to the cave where Foreo is." Lati continued, and Alicia looked surprised when she heard it.

"Oh, what a wonderful coincidence." Alicia said as she put her hands behind her back and started walking towards the riverbank.

"This is... the place where Xu Zhen and I played together when we were little."

Alicia then recounted the events of ten years ago.

She met a boy named Malki, who was happily playing with wild slimes on the river beach. She also met Malki's mother. Although it was only a short day, it was a day she would never forget.

Xu Zhen slightly shifted his gaze and listened to Alicia's story silently. At the same time, a mystery was solved. Why did he not feel like it was his first time here when he came here the day before yesterday?

The memory from ten years ago has not yet been revived. It may have completely disappeared from his memory. However, his body may still remember it somewhere, and Xu Zhen couldn't help but have such a feeling.

"When I told you I was half human and half elf, you simply said I was half-elf."

“…I don’t think it’s anything special.”

"When I was little, I was often treated differently by other kids because I was mixed-race. Now that's no longer the case."

Xu Zhen thought this was a common thing. He could understand it very well because he had been considered an outlier himself. People, whether good or bad, are always interested in things that are different. Xu Zhen thought this again.

“So I was happy. From then on, when I introduced myself, I said I was half-elf.”

“I see. I always thought this was a saying that has been around for a long time.”

"Well, the word has almost no meaning now. Because the mixing of different races has become more and more frequent and active recently."

In some towns, marriages between different races are apparently recommended. Hearing this, Xu Zhen was shocked and felt that it was a bit too much.

"Thank you for listening to me."

Alicia showed a satisfied and refreshing smile. Xu Zhen looked away apologetically: "No, I should say sorry, I still can't remember it at all..."

"It's okay, this is the situation. Now that we're here, let's have some fun!"

“Whoa, wait, Alicia!”

Alicia grabbed his hand and Xu Zhen was forced to step into the cold river water.

It was just a simple water splash game. Alicia played like a child, and Lati and the others joined in. Soon, wild slimes also appeared and started playing together as if to say they were having fun.

Of course Xu Zhen didn't know that this was like a replay of what happened ten years ago. And Alicia was so immersed in the game that she didn't realize it.

Soon, Xu Zhen, who was still a little confused, also began to splash water on Alicia, and soon a bright laugh was heard. He didn't care how much his clothes were soaked.
