*Log32*

"I have buried the remains of the dead in the village........... and with the elf girl named Lush, we were able to locate civilization . Which is over the mountain in our back, we are going to go there as soon as Lush's health stablize."

***********

At the next Morning.

Kara came down from her room to eat her breakfast and get back to burying remains. She saw, as always Ried was making breakfast.

When Ried turned around and saw the state Kara was in, he got stunned.

"Don't worry!!..... Just had some nasty encounter...."

She tried to calm him down, because she saw some traces of anger in his eyes.

After calming down, he again started making breakfast.

As Kara finished eating breakfast and was getting ready to go out again, Ried came from behind her.

"Oni...Onee-chan wait a minut..nute."

He came back with some bandages." I will disinfect the wound and wrap a new bandage."

"I have already done that! and we dont have many bandages left we should save it." rebuted Kara.

"please?"

He was desperate and sad, when his friend was was fighting for her life, he was just house sitting.He was angry with himself that he couldn't do anything to help her.

Feeling the emotions of her friend she nodded her head.

"But fast!!"

"OK.... Onee-Chan", bowed Ried.

Kara took off her shirt and started to remove the bandages of her shoulder. When he saw how badly she was injured , his head fell down more.

After removing it "It may hurt a li..little."

He silently cleaned the wound with alcohol and put the ointment on the gnash. after that he put a cleaned bandage on her wound again carefully.

"Ta..Take care."

"Take care!!"

***********************************************************

After having some distance from the house ' Well that was awkward  moment!!'

'But anyway!! i gotta bury those corpses before the girl finds out and for the girls mother i need to make a proper grave.'

Thinking what and how to dig up graves , Kara reached the village, only to find the corpse of the bear  gone. But the corpses of the people of the village were still untouched.

"WTF!!"

She got scared, thinking some other animal bigger than the bear may be around. She waited an hour before continue digging.

When she took out her knives and saw that only 5 were still with her.

'How can I be this stupid?.... I again forgot about taking the knives back from the skull*sigh*' 

That's all she can think of before continuing  to dig around again.

*********************************************************

When Kara left, Ried was feeling down. He didn't know what he can do to help her beside house chores.

'I need to make dinner for the little girl too.'

He didn't add any meat in the food of the girl..... as he knew from the fantasy movies  the elves are vegetarian.

When he entered the little girl's room with the juice of the fruit that Kara usually bought.

He saw that the girl was awake again. And was staring at Ried with her big eyes.

"Hello little girl, my name is Ried. I brought you some juice" .He can talk to kids without stuttering when he is alone.

"Lush.....Lushrina...... Xilyra"

"Oh! what a beautiful name...Lush"

"Where is Mom?"

She is still asking about her mother, he wanted to just take her to her mother's grave..... but he wanted for the girl to not be traumatized like him.

So he thought that's it's better to ready her here and now.

"First finish this juice ...Lush"

He gave the juice in her hand and sat beside her.

As she started drinking the juice, he said" Do you know what happened when god love someone very much?"

*UWAAAAAAhHhhhhhhhGH**started crying*

"My ...My mom is dead...DEAD!!" *while crying*

"Don'....don't worr...y girl..... eve...everythings go...going to be fi..fine!!", He stuttered again.

Still unable to stop crying, she dropped the juice.

Thinking of ways to coax the girl, Ried ran like storm and brought a movie (MY friend totoro)

The girl didn't see what he was doing she was just crying.

But when he started the tv of Mr. and Mrs. Ojha's bedroom.

The girl looked up again. and seeing the story slowly unfolding stopped crying, she was confused at first, in her 86yrs of life she has not seeing something like this... she wanted to ask questions...What is this moving picture?... or how can something cute like Totoro exist.

After the movie ended Lush calmed down.

"Sorry, for being a bother."

"Don't worry, everythings fine so get some rest"

It looked like she wanted to say something more. So Ried stayed with her in her room.

"Do you want to say, something?"

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

Getting enough confidence , she blurted out" Tha...Thank you!"

She knew that they were probably her saviour.. as she remember her mother and her jumping off into the well to get escape from the dragon's rampage.

"Oh!! don't thank me.... it was Kara Onee-chan who saved you"

"Onee-chan?"

Thinking after a while he said" Onee-chan means big sister. OK"

"Where is Kara Onee-chan?"

"She is in the forrest collecting fruits, she will come back home soon!!"

"And do you want to see more moving pictures like this one..... i got more"

He didn't wanted to see her movies that contained violence or modern tech, so he just showed her one more movie named "Kiki's delivery service" and then went down to do his daily exercise.

In the room.

The woman who looked like a little girl of 8yr old, with a cute face and silver hair stayed silent and was in deep thought.

'My Mom is already dead. I need to face this fact.'*sigh* sighed the little girl like an old hag.

'These people seem good and they are treating me like a child too. And what's with their wierd magic how can they make use of such magic tools just for entertainment?..... But Totoro was cute.'

'The Boy seem stupid enough, I don't know anything about the girl yet. And where am I? I Have never ever seen a house this cozy before.!!!'

'For the time being, I need to keep this little girl act'

'Its not because of the clothes..... or the moving Pictures..... Its definitely not because of that'

She liked her new clothes, they were Kara's old clothes, that she took out from the  basement. And dressed the Lush in it.

'I need to pay respects to my mother one last time.' Sadly thought the girl.

************************************************

When Kara came back after completing her work she inquired about the girl from Ried.

"Has she waken up yet?"

"Ye...yeah!! she....she woke up right after you le..left."

Ried told her all the events that unfolded during her absence.

She didn't know, If she should hit Ried or not... he willingly told her about Lush's mother.

"Is she stable now?"

"Ye..yes"

"I need to talk to her."

as she was going upstairs she stopped for a moment..... And Lifted a book which was on the table and take it in her hand.

"Come upstairs"

Ordered Kara!!

"Ok!!"

As Kara entered the room she saw a girl watching "my friend totoro".

"Hello! Lush...My name is Kara"

Noticing that someone had entered the room , she got bewildered for a moment... and then noticing it was a girl.

"Thank ...Thank you Onee-chan, for saving my life."

'Onee-chan?', she turned around and peeked at her stupid friend.

*sigh*"listen girl i have burried your mom and other villages back in the grave."

She waited for Lush's reply.... she wanted her to process the information slowly, but because of her friend she thought its best to tell her now.

"Thank you!!", was the only thing said the girl before closing her eyes and praying for a moment.

Nor Kara neither Ried disturbed her in this moment.

After 1 min passed she looked up again.

"I know this may be hard but..... but i need you to try and check if you can read this"

'Does she take me for an illiterate'

Lush took the book from the hands of Kara and started fluently reading the book.

'Seems.....  the oral and written language of this world is same!!'

"Ok good girl!! then next do you know if there is another village or a city around here?"

"Where are we?"

"this is.... you see this place is 20km west of your village"

'20km west?... I don't remember there being any house there? Is this underground house inside the mountain like that of the dwarfs?'

Seeing the girl deep in thought Kara thought that the the girl didn't know about it , but her worry were for nothing.

"Ther....there is a city which is 50km west of the village, I have gone there with my mother many times. But to go there, we need to cross-over the mountain chain which divides the beast territory from human territory"

There was something crucial said here, but Kara didn't notice it. She was planning her trip to the city. She wanted to see this world and if possible find a way back to her family.

"Thank you Lush, you have been a great help, so do you want to watch Lion King?"

Lush didn't know about what "lion king" was, but seeing all those movies. She made a happy face.

'I will need to talk to Ried about this, but first i need to know more of this world. And the best way is to befriend this little girl.' ,thought Kara.

'As a plus she is a cute little loli elf.....hue!hue!hue!.' thought the perverted Kara.
