The next morning we rested for a while in the cave until the snow subsided a little, however we needed warmer clothing, if we continued along the road like this we would freeze to death. I checked the map and according to it there was a town near our position, it would be good to go loot it What's left of the town. maybe there's still clothing thick enough to keep us warm or we could make it.

I told the girls this information, we decided to split up, I would go with Alicia to the town while Mizuki stayed with Danny and Bella in the cave, we can't leave them alone to take risks. Alicia and I know how to defend ourselves in case something happens.

After getting ready a little we started our way towards the town.

It was something impressive how the landscape changed with the snow, personally it was the first time I touched snow, I was somewhat fascinated with it, I took it in my hands to see how it felt.

Alicia: Have you never seen snow?

Robert: Yes, I have seen it, but I had never touched or felt it.

Alicia: You normally see yourself as a person with a lot of experience in life.

Robert: Eh... No, I'm not, although hey, I've experienced more things than I would like. Is there snow in the other world?

Alicia: Yes, although I don't really like the cold.

Take advantage of this moment to ask him a little about his life.

Robert: By the way, how did you and your sister end up like this?

She looked at me, her eyes reflecting a certain insecurity, but without much hesitation she began to speak. Although she hasn't said anything nor do I know her relationship with her sister, you can see how much she trusts her to tell me these things without much hesitation. I guess Sam really had few friends...

Alicia: Before we came to this world, so to speak, we lived in our village, we were truly happy, we didn't lack anything, we lasted many years like that. But one day the emperor of the kingdom requested the quota of annual warriors for our race, but in recent years we had not had many warriors, in general it is difficult for us elves to have children because our fertility is very low.

He took a moment to take some snow in his hands and then continued speaking.

Alicia: In our family there was only Samantha and me, but my father did not want to send us to die, he resisted, the emperor ordered me to be kidnapped for disobeying the orders of the royal family, he gave my parents two options, they would send someone or I would be chosen.

His feelings seemed somewhat mixed when telling his story.

Alicia: Samantha decided to go, my father flatly refused but the reality was that someone had to go and I was too young to take it all in. This is how Samantha began to work under the orders of the emperor for many years, she was investigating his world among other things, I don't know how long she lived in those years, at a certain point she stopped sending letters, I stopped knowing what had happened, but If she follows the emperor's orders we would all be safe.

As we walked I began to notice footprints on the road.

Alicia: After a while, the emperor blamed the elven race as traitors for leaking confidential information to enemy nations, to be honest I have no idea if it was true or a lie, but I always defended our people. Our parents died because they attacked and burned our entire town; they had given the order to exterminate us. I couldn't even say goodbye to my parents, the only thing I knew was what the magicians told me, despite being kidnapped in the palace I couldn't see Samantha in all that time, as the years went by I heard that she began to show signs of betrayal and rebellion. The emperor decided to send me to the concentration camp to see if she would calm down. However, being in the country is almost like being dead, so I guess it wouldn't take long to get rid of her.

How strange, I don't think Alicia is lying but there is something that doesn't add up in her story... why didn't Samantha tell me that before? Could it be because we barely knew each other? No... it's not that, she told me that she helped the magicians because they kidnapped her sister.

What he told me is not bad, what surprised me was probably the story behind it.

Robert: Now things make a little more sense.

Alicia: And in your case, how do you know each other?

While I was wondering that we heard some noises in the distance.

Robert: I'll tell you my story when we're done with this.

Alicia looked towards the town that could be seen in the distance.

Alice: Okay.

We began to walk stealthily towards the noise, after a while, we could see the town more clearly, apparently the noises were coming from there.

You didn't have to be a fortune teller to know that there was an animal in that town. Why can things never be simple? After resigning myself I began to think about how to proceed.

Alicia closed her eyes and after a moment opened them again, her eyes were red.

Alice: There are 9 wolves in that town.

Mmm... I would like to have that vision... Or those powers...

Robert: Where exactly are they?

Alicia: Two at the main entrance, four in some houses and three in a house somewhat far away.

With that information it would be easy to get rid of everyone.

Robert: Okay, first we'll kill the two near the main entrance, we'll use this.

I threw a bottle into Alicia's hands.

Alice: What is this?

Robert: It is so that they do not detect us with smell. After killing those at the entrance, we will continue to advance and to eliminate the rest.

Alice nodded.

We proceeded cautiously and climbed a tree, I took out my bow and drew it.

Robert: Don't you happen to have some long-range spell or something that can kill them with a single shot?

Alicia: I think I have something that might work, although I've never tried it.

After getting ready, we began to proceed.

I told Alicia that I was in charge of the wolf on the left and she was in charge of the one on the right.

I aimed the bow from the tree next to her, Alicia started to shit something in her hand, I guess it's energy or magic, I don't know, after being sure that I wouldn't miss I shot, followed by my arrow, she also released the light that she was holding. , I thought a great spell was going to come out but on the contrary a very thin beam came out almost like a laser, my arrow managed to hit the wolf, and her beam managed to pass through the other.

Apparently my arrow had not killed the wolf, but it had left him wounded, he howled in pain, while Alicia had killed the wolf on the right instantly.

we quickly go down.

As we ran towards the entrance of the town, his fellow wolves came out upon hearing the howl of pain. We hid at the entrance. I took a small stone and threw it as high as I could, it fell behind the wolves. When they heard the stone fall, they looked back and went on alert and in attack mode.

We took advantage of their carelessness, I took aim with my bow and hit one, Alicia did a kind of spell in the area and hit two wolves, they remained paralyzed on the ground, the last one ran, I readied my arrow and shot, I managed to hit him in the paw.

Although we did this out of necessity, the wolves' howls of pain bothered me too much. Almost all of them were wounded and not dead. I don't especially like to see animals suffer.

I took a makeshift dagger that I made days ago and started walking towards the first wolf I hit with my arrow. He was suffering, so I hurried up, approached him and quickly put an end to his suffering. I hope you forgive me for making you suffer so much. I got up and did this to each one who was still alive and injured.

Alicia: I didn't know you were so sentimental about your enemies.

Robert: I don't like to see animals suffer in general.

After finishing everyone off, Alicia used her vision again.

Alicia: Apparently the other 3 have not noticed the fight, how strange, I'm sure we made a lot of noise, Why are they ignoring us?

It's true, any animal would have listened to us, is there something in that house so important for them to ignore us?

We walked stealthily up to the three wolves, we reached a corner and saw them, two of them were normal and one was the leader, apparently it was a large black wolf.

They were banging fiercely on the door, there is something in there or someone.

That door wasn't going to hold up for long.

Alicia and I positioned ourselves to get rid of the two wolves, however she slipped and fell to the ground for a moment. The wolves heard her and looked in our direction.

The leader of the wolves began to emanate a strange aura that infected the other two, making them larger and with an aggressive appearance.

He made a noise and the two wolves came towards us, I shot my arrow at one of them but he dodged it.

Alicia cast a water spell on the wolves' feet and tried to freeze them but it didn't work at all, only one of them had a paw trapped.

The remaining wolf jumped towards Alice, but before it reached her I managed to react in time, I took out an arrow and stuck it in its neck, the wolf still bit my arm, Alice from the ground pointed her hand towards the wolf, and she shot the concentrated beam towards the wolf's head, that beam burned my cheek, leaving a small wound and the wolf's head exploded.

The remaining wolf was about to free itself but Alicia, with her last energy, she cast a lightning spell and paralyzed him.

God... How is it possible that just two wolves almost killed us.

I quickly approached and killed the paralyzed wolf.

The leader of the wolves had broken down the door and entered.

Alicia approached me quickly.

Alicia: You're bleeding a lot.

Robert: You almost left me faceless... anyway, don't worry, I will cover my wound a little, first we must take care of that black wolf. at any moment he will attack us if he finishes looking for whatever he is looking for in that house, then we treat my wound .

We headed to the entrance of the house and saw the wolf, looking at a... Child?

That child was going to be torn apart live in front of us.

The wolf jumped on him, we wouldn't be able to get there in time to save him.

However, the boy who was watching something else turned to see the wolf, at that moment he tilted his head a little as if curious about the situation, as if wondering what the wolf was doing, his eyes began to glow yellow.

The boy simply dodged the wolf and it hit the wall due to its momentum. The wolf, with more anger than before, began to attack the boy fiercely and quickly, but as the wolf got closer, the boy showed a surprising ability to dodge it. He watched the wolf carefully and, within seconds, seemed to pick up on its behavior and movement patterns. However, what really amazed us was his ability to adapt. Every time the wolf tried a new approach, the boy immediately adjusted. It was as if his mind was a sponge, absorbing information and transforming it into action, keeping him one step ahead of the wolf at all times.

After being in shock for a few moments I moved Alicia to react, we were very shocked by what we were seeing, I shot an arrow and Alicia fired her lightning bolt, we managed to hit the wolf, he was paralyzed and injured due to the lightning bolt and the arrow . Alicia quickly approached and finished him off with her lightning bolt on the head and he exploded.

The boy looked at her curiously, after that his yellow eyes went out and he walked again as if nothing had happened.

I didn't really know what to do in this situation.

Robert: And... What do we do with that child?

Alicia: You are the one with the experience here, think of something.

Yes, of course... Sorry for being old, after a moment I decided to approach the boy, he was looking at things that were lying around the house.

Robert: Hello little friend, are you lost?

The boy looked at me and was curious about one of my arrows, he tried to take it, Jum... How profitable would it be to give an arrow to a child? I don't know, I decided to carry it on my head and give it an arrow.

He didn't resist when I loaded him, he was more focused on the arrow than on the person who was carrying him...

Alicia: Ju... So you already kidnapped a child out of nowhere... What a terrible man you are.

Robert: I'm not a kidnapper, I'm solving the situation, we can't leave a child lying in the middle of nowhere with many animals around... Although it is very strange that a child is alone here. there is no way he could survive... Or well maybe yes.

Alicia: Whatever you say. I highly doubt this town has warm clothing for the snow, although we should take a look at them anyway. By the way, maybe you have a point. What would a child do here alone? He must have family or someone close, I highly doubt they would leave a child to their fate.

While I was thinking, a man appeared out of nowhere with a strange robot, behind us.

Alicia and I were alert.

Unknown: Hello! I heard you need coats, don't worry, sometimes unexpected weather comes, so it's good to be prepared!

I didn't really understand what was happening but that man made me distrustful.

Unknown: Don't worry, I'm just a merchant who was passing through, I have something that will interest you, this is a manual that will help you create coats made from wolf skin!

Oh... That did sound interesting, however we remain alert, as I don't believe that there was a man here selling a manual that we precisely needed... Besides, what kind of crazy man sells things in a post apocalyptic world?

Unknown: However, since nothing in this life is free, I need a payment equivalent to the manual!

A payment equivalent to the manual... After mentally convincing myself that I've seen worse and that there may be a chance that some crazy person in the world is still selling things. Try to see what we had to offer.

Robert: I offer you the girl.

Alicia immediately hit me in the abdomen, my God... How strong... The boy in front of us started laughing.

Robert: Does my bow seem sufficient to you according to the manual?

The stranger saw my bow and asked me to examine it.

I gave it to him, if he tried anything we would kill him quickly.

Unknown: I accept it as long as you give me all those arrows!

Hmm...

Robert: Good...

Unknown: Deal!

We shook hands, he gave me the manual and I gave him the bow, I gave him my arrows, however I had to give him the arrow that the boy had too. but when I was going to take it off, he started to complain. So I decided to give him the manual and removed the arrow.

He started looking at the book.

Unknown: Have a good day gentleman!

And just as if nothing had happened, he walked with that strange robot.

Alicia: I'm not even going to question anything that just happened, I feel like my head will explode if I do, nothing that just happened in this small town makes sense.

Robert: We agree with that thought.

Alicia: You should shut up for a while, come on, if you take a little longer you will lose your arm due to so much blood loss.

After that, Alicia healed my wound, we decided to arrange the bodies of the wolves and take the child, then we would return for the wolves.

As soon as we arrived at the cave, everyone was shocked.

Danny: They had a child so quickly!?

Alice: Shut up!

As she said this she was all red.

Bella: Ali... There is a time for everything...

Alicia was about to hit them but Mizuki picked her up with one hand.

Alicia: Let me teacher, I need to punish them!

The two started laughing.

Mizuki: Calm down, otherwise you will stop being my disciple.

Alice stopped.

Mizuki: So... and that child?

She asked with curiosity and looking at me up and down, these women... Do you really think I had a child in less than a day?

After that I spent a while explaining the situation.

Mizuki: So the boy has some special ability.

Robert: Special ability?

Mizuki: In our world it is natural that people are born with unique abilities, your lineage depends on that among other things, although not everyone is born with abilities, they are few.

After that Mizuki accompanied me to bring the bodies of the wolves, we took them to the cave and began to follow the manual.

Robert: This is much harder than I thought...

Danny: I give up...

After a while trying to make a single coat we couldn't.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the boy and he was dragging a coat... What!?

I got up quickly and looked at the coat, How?

Robert: Did any of you manage to make a coat?

Alice: No, why?

I took the coat for a moment and showed it to them.

Bella: As? you did it?.

Robert: Clearly not.

Mizuki: Maybe the boy did it.

I looked at the boy with doubts, he was just playing with the coat, I tried to do an experiment, I showed him the manual and tried to tell him if he could do one.

The boy looked at him and smiled, he began to take the materials and moved his hands, one would think he was playing but he was really making the coat...

In less than 10 minutes he had made another one... I patted him on the head for his good work and he was apparently happy.

Bella: That child is more useful than us united...

Robert: Mizuki, what ability do you think he has?

Mizuki: Hum... Maybe it could be something related to rapid learning... I wouldn't be sure.

After that the boy made coats for everyone, and we were able to leave the next day.
