I was surprised, “A wolf can talk?!?”
“Yes.”
“How?!?”
“Magic.” Rei said one word but it did not explain anything! Anything’s possible I guess since this is a world of Magic. I won’t be surprised if a tree can talk.
Antonio’s PoV
After three days walking alone, Rei didn’t talk to me his reason? He said my stupidity is contagious. That is not true! Is my IQ really low? I want to talk to somebody! The great news is I saw the Village, Rei is a great map, it's convenient.
As I entered the village, I saw a man looking at me with an expression of sorrow but it vanished and he smiled cheerily and waved at me.
“Welcome to our village!”

“Are you talking to me?” I pointed at myself, well his hospitable I thought this world is vicious. They wouldn’t care about the lives of other people but it seems I’m wrong.
“Yes, My name is Kelz.” He gestured to himself with a smile, “If you ever need something in this town all you need is to find me.”
“Are you this chief of this village or something?” I asked.
“The great me is the leader.” He said smugly, I heard a frustrated sigh from a hut but I saw nothing. Weird. “What is your name lad?”
“Say your name is Seth.” Rei who had not to speak to me for days talked after that he stayed silent again.
I smiled, “Name’s Seth.”
His smiled turned stiff, “I see, what a nice name.”
There’s a moment of silence between us, I swear I hear some crickets was it my imagination? Stop looking at me like that Uncle, I do not swing that way. I suppressed a shudder.
Rei groaned, “Why are you thinking some nonsensical things?!?” Oh, right I forgot Rei can read my thoughts. Creep.
“I heard that!” Rei said, “Just ask where the inn is we need to rest and we need to go before dawn.” Aye captain.
“Any suggestions for an inn?” I asked politely, not showing I’m uncomfortable with his stare.
“Hmm?” Kelz blinked waking up from his thoughts, I must be so handsome that even guys will daydream about me, sigh tis also a curse.
“...” Rei said nothing, if he had a body right now he would be grinding his teeth together and clenching his fist trying hard not to punch me. I sure do have a great imagination. It must be torture to be in my mind, luckily I try not to think of bad puns or Rei will live inside a living hell and he can’t do anything about it. For example, I must be in love with Rei because no matter what I do I can’t seem to get him out of my mind. Badoom tsss.
“SHUT UP!” I chuckled, Rei has gone crazy because of me, it is a relationship where my love is received. I feel so blessed yet confused Rei is inside in my body I thought that we need to get married first. “AAAAGGGGHHH!”
Okay, I’ll stop now where was I?
“See that hut over there kid?” He pointed at the hut covered with trees, “ You can live there, nobody lives there.”
“Thanks, Kelz.” I smiled.
“No problem kid.”
