[ENG] Reborn As a Haier-Elvian: The Blood Hunter and The Warlock

Chapter 07 "Sun Festival"

"Stop calling me that, Almira! You make me like a rare animal." I grumbled. Folding both hands across my chest while looking at her in resentful.

"But you are indeed rare, right?" She chuckled, then shrugged his shoulders like innocence ones. Thus sat on the sofa opposite me. "I know your purpose here. You wanna ask me to teach you Esze again, right?"

I nodded quickly. It was great if Almira already knew my idea here, so I didn't need to suffer any more for explaining it from the beginning.

"You ... always definitely ask for it come here." That woman Elvian took a deep breath. Stretching both her hands on the sofa." At least bring me some food of out there, brat!"

"Had you forgotten? I often treat you and your kid."

"It was just food stalls. Treat us to a fancy restaurant, so we have a deal."

"All right, but not in a short time. Because the old bastard man just kicked me out. So I'm completely skint right now."

"Huh, kicked out?" Almira raised an eyebrow.

Half an hour passed when I told her what happened yesterday. My emotions which had been expressed in the hearts now let go without strain. Certainly not forgetting about cursing Grussel and Igresti. Two people that make my day became gloomy. Almira just laughed at my story, sometimes giving some insults. I felt like an idiot for telling this person.

"Don't become a hunter if you are stupid!" She sneered sarcastically. Her voice echoed from the kitchen, which is next to the living room. The sound of the spoon stirring in glass became a backsound of her laughter.

Not long after, she walked across the living room, her hands were carrying a tray. There were two cups of tea which still lukewarm and jars of chocolate pastries. I immediately grabbed a piece, although not yet dish up onto the table. Almira was glaring. But I didn't care. Shrugged my shoulders and took another piece of cake.

"Being a hunter made your character cheeky, huh!" Almira put the tray on the table. Serving cups of tea and cookie jar on the table.

"C' mon! Don't be so rigid like that. The one who always asking treated to meals doesn't have the right to advise me about decency."

Almira sighed, patted his forehead. Maybe he was tired of dealing with people like me. Without tried to regulate my behavior anymore, she took one of the cups were still steaming. Then sip without fear of blistering lips. While I still need to blow it to cool. I bet she was using Esze. The technique could chill a thing, or created some tricks for heat-resistant lips. I didn't know, as a pure Elvian, it would have been very easy for her.

Although sometimes annoying, actually she was a good person. Almira was the only person in this town who could realize my race despite wearing the closed hood and thick clothing. From her, I'd learned many things, especially how to use Esze. She trained me to be able to use my potential as a mixed race. This woman also told me a lot of useful information in this country. Including the subject of a huge uproar if the world knew my actual race was Haier-Elvian.

Suddenly, I remembered when we first met about eight months ago.

============

One day Glafelden City was celebrating the Sun Festival. A celebration that was intended in the god of the sun, Lillio. As one of two Supreme Gods who was worshiped in this country. On this particular day, the city held a parade with some rituals and dances in the town square.

Also, the Sun Festival was enlivened by many of art performances, food stalls, as well as the merchants that provide the half-price discount. To me, who was new to this place, the Sun Festival became something not to be missed. There might be a new hood in the clothes shop display. I was tired of using an old model like this. If it coupled with a mask, made me look similar to a miner.
