Kenshi, The Spirit Swordsman

Chapter 14

Before the other guy could react, I already sliced him in half. I turned towards to the last guy.

Kenshi: Well? You want to fight too?

Player3: I'll pass. My magic skill will reach 900 soon. I don't want a death penalty.

Kenshi: Then what about you, girl?

???: I'm good too. Next time, I'll win.

Player3: I'd prefer not to fight you one-on-one.

Then he flew away.

Kenshi: Hey, what are these flames?

???: Shh... Remain Lights. Their minds are still there.

The flames disappeared after it.

???: So, what should I do now? Thank you? Run away? Or should I fight?

Kenshi: Wow. Is this how you treat everyone who saves you? I can just FEEL the gratitude radiating off of you. Like a warm summer breeze wafting across the meadow...that Bambi's mom was shot in.

???: Argh. What do you want?

Kenshi: Lady, you don't need to sounds angry like that. I just wanna ask-

Shin: There you are!

I turned my attention to the voice and I saw Shin and Kirito are slowly flying to us... without using the controller?

When they landed, Yui popped up from Kirito's pocket.

Yui: Geez, Uncle. You've made us so worried.

Kenshi: Hehe. Sorry about that.

I scratched my head nervously.

???: Who are those? And is that a private pixie?

Kenshi: They are my friends, Shin and Kirito. And yes, that's Kirito's private pixie, Yui.

???: Fine, but why are two Spriggan and an Undine wandering around here?

Kenshi: We got lost...

Then she laughed.

???: Your territory is way to the east! And his territory is next to yours! How can you be that lost? You guys are so weird. Anyway, I should thank you. Thanks for saving me. My name's Leafa.

Kenshi: I'm Kenshi.

Leafa: So, Kenshi... What'll you do now? If you'd like, I could buy you a drink as thanks. You can bring your friends along.

Kirito: Imagine when you come here just to get your friend and suddenly you get a free drink because whatever you friend did.

Shin: I can relate to it.

Leafa: Well?

Kenshi: That'd be nice. Actually, we were looking for someone who could explain a few things.

Leafa: About this world, and about that tree in particular.

Leafa: That tree? The World Tree?

Kenshi: Yep.

Leafa: Sure. I may not look like one, but I'm quite a veteran. Okay, it's a bit far, but there's a neutral village up north. Let's fly there.

Kirito: Isn't the town called Sylvain closer?

Leafa: You really are clueless. That's Sylph territory.

Shin: And?

Leafa: You can't attack Sylphs in their territory, but they can attack you.
