165 Don't Worry Village Chief! I Don't Eat Humans!

"Are you not going to eat, young adventurer?" Village Chief Antonio asked. 

He glanced towards Pedro who sat back to his chair without holding food. Village Chief Antonio and Village Soldier Captain Aks could only glance towards him, whilst waiting for Pedro to eat first as a sign of respect and courtesy towards him. 

That said, Pedro simply smiled towards him and said, "Please go ahead and eat first, respected sire! I would also eat in a minute. I am just waiting for someone." 

"I-I see..." Antonio said. He wanted to wait for Pedro and whomever he was waiting for to eat before he takes a bite to the fragrant and mouth watering roasted bird meat, but... his stomach had betrayed him as it growled out of hunger.

Antonio could only force out a smile and said, "Then... I'll eat first. Thanks for the meal!"

"Enjoy!" Pedro said after nodding his head a couple of times. Then, he looked up into the sky--staring at Sabrina and can't help but wonder if she is alright.

'She's been flying for hours... I kept sending messages to her but it seems like she is ignoring them all. Perhaps a meal with me would make her calm down...' Pedro chuckled deep inside as he navigated to his Player Interface and sent a message to Sabrina. 

[Death (Pedro): My dearest... Dinner is ready. Come down, or else it would be cold.]

"Kwiiiyaaak!" The eagle flying above them cried lowdly as it started to descend.

Pedro can't help but grin after stoling a glance towards Sabrina and noticed that she was starting to descend. However, a series of messages popped out in his player interface before he could close it and prepare for Sabrina and his dinner.

Since his player interface was already open and Sabrina was yet to arrive, he decided to check the messages of Talia and Mathew.

[Killer Smile (Mathew): Expert Bro, here are the reports on my end. There were a couple of good news and there were also some bad news. I'll start with the good news.

First, the Plains and the Shore is all under our control. The Support team, together with the other NPCs from the fleet are defending the Northern Border of the Plains, including the path I made deep into the forest... hehe.

As for the southern border of the plains, I have asked my younger sister to personally give you a report about that area. But from the looks of it, she is doing well.

Hence, we have decided to leave it be, at the moment. It does not pose immediate danger to us and it hinders monsters from charging into that direction. That said, we are worried that this forest fire might spread into the deeper parts of the forest. 

At the same time... The injured Treant had seemed to regain its conscousness. That said, it seemed like the Treants would need till sunrise before the injured Treant would be completely healed. 

That's all for the good news. As for the bad news... I'll start with the food of the support team and the NPCs. Because of the rush of going into battle, the support team and the NPCs forgot to bring food and water for them to eat. 

Fortunately, I was able to improvise and use the wild mountain wolves' meat to feed them... raw! Well... some tried to cook it, like me, but... for some reason... all of us end up with charred meat. 

Well... It's better than eating it raw. :D

And Lastly... for the bad news... Arvedar is not yet responding to my messages. It was also impossible for me to contact his two friends as my younger sister informed me that they were the two person who died. If there's other way to contact him, do inform me so I could contact them as soon as possible. 

That is all on my end. I returned momentarily in the ship to log off and check the news outside the game. Don't worry about the monsters. I scouted far ahead to the north east and only encountered a few hundreds of monsters. I even took care some of them, so I think that the support team and the NPCs would be enough to handle them. 

The NPCs were stronger than me to begin with. Hahahaha. XD]

~~~~~End of Mathew's Message~~~~~

Pedro nodded in satisfaction from Mathew's detailed report. That said, he can't help but wonder about Arvedar. 

He glanced towards the icon of Arvedar's character on his friendlist and noticed that it had a green line around it--indicating that Arvedar was still online. That said, the last message in their chat box was the last message that he sent, announcing their victory. 

"I hope that there's nothing wrong... He's my bargaining chip, in exchange for Faunia!" He said deep inside. "But... Based on what Mathew said... His two friends died. Then... It means that Yojiro was the one who survived. Thank god!"

He shook his head, making him notice Sabrina that was already close in landing into the ground. Thus, he closed his interface and murmured to himself, "I'll read Talia's report, later! Whether they are plotting something bad against me or not... We'll see! I won't hold back and make them suffer, even if they are bargaining chips in exchange for Faunia!"

At this moment, Aks and Antonio could only stare and watch as Sabrina lands towards them.

"Aaaaaaaaah!" Antonio cried as they were seemingly a giant bird was about to crash towards them. 

Pedro simply grinned in response and cut the remaining portion of the Flocoloso Bird into half. At the same time, Sabrina transformed into her human form at the last second, making Antonio and Aks stare towards her--at loss for words. 

"Is there a problem?" Sabrina asked in a cold demeanor. Her face wore a frown as her eyes stared daggers towards the two NPCs.

Unfortunately, the two NPCs seemed like they were frozen ice or petrified into stone due to the shock that Sabrina brought to them as she almost mashed them with the ground. Thus, her murderous gaze had not made them shiver from fear. 

"Don't mind these two Sires. It's probably the first time that they saw a Bird turn into human!" Pedro chuckled.

'Of course it is the first time!!!!' Aks and Antonio shouted deep inside.

"Hmm..." Sabrina pondered whilst receing her food from Pedro. "Then... They often see a Dragon turn into human?"

"Dra-Dragon??? Khuuuhk!" Antonio spewed the food on his mouth from shock. If he was drinking water at that moment, he could have spewed it to the campfire, enough to kill the flame. 

"B-Brother! Are you okay?" Aks asked as he made several slaps on Antonio's back in order to help clear the food choking Antonio. 

Fortunately, after a several coughs, Antonio was able to breath properly. He waved his arm towards Aks--seemingly wanting him to stop slapping his back, and said, "Stop! Stop! I'm okay! I'm okay!" 

Consequently, Aks stopped in response and said, "Eat slowly! Don't rush! You are still not feeling well, remember?"

"Aish--" Antonio was about to complain.

But he was interupted by Sabrina who glanced towards Pedro and said, "Who are they?"

Sabrina's stare was tenacious and scary, hence Pedro could not help but force a smile and introduce the two NPCs to her. Pedro pointed his hand towards the muscular man and said, "This is the Captain of the Village Soldiers here in Kagat Village. He is Sire Aks."

Sabrina glanced towards the bigger and muscular man into the eye, making Aks even yield and end up forcing out a smile in response. 

"G-Greetings!" Aks said, barely able to push the word out of his mouth.

Sabrina bowed slightly towards Aks, but she did not utter a word in response as if she felt a tad bit shy deep inside. On the other hand, Not wanting for mood to be awkward, Pedro pointed towards Antonio next.

"And this is the one and only Chief of this Village... He is Sire Antonio." Pedro said.

Unlike Aks, Village Chief Antonio was not able to utter a single word as Sabrina glanced to him in the eyes. That said, Sabrina did not wait for him to say anything.

She simply made the same slight bow towards him. Fortunately, Sabrina had seemingly lost her shyness as she smirked towards Antonio and said, "Don't worry Village Chief! I don't eat humans!"
