Chapter 159 Leaving the Village, Warmth

159 Leaving the Village, Warmth

After everyone was done eating breakfast, Alex, Nene, and the kids went out of the house.

As they came out, they were greeted by the warm smiles of the villagers who had already started their day at 5 o'clock in the morning.

"Good morning, Mr. Zero!"

"Did you have a good sleep, Mr. Zero?"

"Mr. Zero, did you already eat breakfast?"

...

Alex looked at the warm villagers and greeted them back with a smile on his face.

At the same time, Alex noticed that the villagers stopped calling him 'savior' and started calling him with his 'name's.

'Hmm, it seems like the village head already told them that I didn't like it, huh. That's good!' He silently thought.

Just as Alex is talking with a few random villagers, the voice of Nene sounded at this time.

"Father!" She called.

Hearing that, Alex looked at Nene and followed her sight.

Then, he saw the old village head coming towards him at this time with a smile on his wrinkly face.

"Good morning, Mr. Zero. Were you able to rest well last night?"

Alex greeted the village head with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I was able to rest comfortably thanks to the house that you let us use."

"That's good to hear."

After saying that, the village head asked, "So, are you going to leave now?"

Alex nodded, "Yes, I want to arrive at Kupido Town before the day ends so we're actually in a hurry."

"Is that so?"

The village head nodded in understanding but there was still a hint of disappointment on his face.

After a few seconds, the village head looked at Alex and said, "Okay, I understand. Then before you go, please accept some of the things that me and the other villagers have prepared for you."

Saying that, the village head turned around and went back to his house before Alex even replied.

Seeing that, Alex wasn't able to say anything anymore and ended up only letting out a sigh.

On the side, Nene approached Alex with an apologetic face.

"Uhm, I'm sorry about my father. He's just that thankful for all the help that you did to us that's why he's like that."

Alex waved his hand and said, "No, you don't have to apologize."

Sighing, he continued, "I am just afraid that he will always feel indebted to me. Plus, the things that he gave me back then were already precious enough."

"That's why, there shouldn't even be any reason for him to act like this."

When she heard that, Nene looked in the direction where her father went and stared in silence.

Then she said, "That's just how my father is. When a person did something good to him, he will make sure to repay it multiple times."

"Also, my father is just naturally kind. That's why, it might seem a bit overwhelming to some from time to time."

Alex can't help but become quiet after hearing Nene's words.

"Let's stop here for now and rest. At the same time, we can also eat our lunch while we are here."

Hearing that, Ferri and Blaze immediately stopped and laid down on the ground to rest.

Angelica jumped down from Ferri's back, leaving her brothers there to relax.

"Brother Zero, what are we going to eat? Please let me help."

Glancing at her, Alex said, "Sure. I want to cook a meat dish called adobo today."

Nodding, Angelica asked, "Then, what should I do, Brother?"

Alex thought for a moment before asking, "Can you handle a knife?"

Angelica nodded, "Yes. In the past, I always had to cook for my brothers so I could use the knife."

Hearing that, Alex snapped his fingers and a knife appeared in his hands along with a couple of onion-like things that he found from the bag given by the village head.

"Here, cut this into big squares while I'm preparing the meat."

After saying that, Alex took a larger slab of meat from his inventory and put it into the chopping board that he also brought with him.

By the way, the meat that Alex is preparing isn't just any meat.

But the meat of a monster called Orc.

This was also something that was inside the bag handed by the village head.

From the looks of it, this Orc meat should be something that came from the village head personally.

Because Orc meat can be said to be a delicacy that a normal villager would never be able to afford.

Chop!

Anyway, while feeling thankful for all the gifts, Alex started chopping the meat into tiny pieces.

Just like that, Alex and Angelica started preparing their lunch for today, putting all their attention onto it.

Finally, after 30 minutes, Alex, along with the help of Angelica, managed to cook adobo.

"It's done!"

Alex looked at the dish with black sauce on the pan with a big smile.

Taking a few sniffs, the eyes of Angelica lit up, "Wow, it smells good, Brother!"

Just as she said that, a loud sound came from her stomach.

Growl~

Immediately, Angelica's face turned red from embarrassment.

Alex chuckled, "It seems like the food we cooked made you hungry, huh."

"Then let's stop standing here and start preparing the table so that we can start eating."

"Oum!"

Alex took out a table from his inventory as well as a couple of plates while Angelica called her brothers.

In no time, everything was ready and they started eating.

Of course, Ferri and Blaze were also given their own large portions of the meal.
