Chapter 28 I Can't Face Her

I guess my luck win this time because the remaining 2 wolves that just watching is running away from me right now, they're just watching their comrades died right in front of their eye, maybe their instinct saves me, if they didn't run, I don't know what will I become, I have no stamina left even my legs are numbs right now, luckily the wolves run before they see me fell on the ground.

I turn my head and look at the wolf leader that got pierced with my ice magic, the blood is dripping on the ice to the ground, it seems that the wolf won't open its eyes anymore, but still that was one close attack, I didn't think he still able to pull out his last magic even he's on the edge of death, I let out a deep sigh, finally, I can rest but I remember that there were a lot of adventurers who got a lot of injuries after coming to this forest, I guess for now I hope I won't encounter any more trouble because I can't fight anymore, I can't even lift a single finger right now so I have no other choice but to rest and recover my energy, my magic slowly disappear and I heard a body fell down on the ground it's the wolf leader that stuck on the big ice thorns.

I look at the clear sky and the wind blow and the cold is just bitting my skins.

I can feel a presence of living being coming towards me, I don't really know is it human or not, it's just my feeling and I can only hope that they're human because if it's another magical beast, I could die here right now.

I can hear footsteps coming towards me faster and faster, and suddenly a red-haired girl appear before my eyes, she looks so shocked when she saw me and quickly lift up my head and put my head to her lap.

"Why are you here"

Elis looks worried after she knew that the one who's lying down on the grass was me, I didn't lose my consciousness this time, but my head feels a bit dizzy but somehow I can still see her face clearly.

"Ah Elis-nee"

I can only let out a soft voice, I don't have that much stamina even for talking is still hard and it seems that Elis notice it and just close my eyes with her hand, I feel her hand's getting warm.

"Just close your eyes and rest"

"Ah..yes.."

I can only obey her word, for now, her warm hand really calmed me down, and I fell asleep in no time, just having a lap pillow from this girl and her warm hand really calmed me down.

"Ah you wake up"

The first sight of what in front of me after I open my eyes is Elis, she looks calm and her happy face is cute, but I can barely see her face for some reason.

Ah right, I fell asleep after I fight the wolves, I wonder how long have been I asleep now.

"How long have I fallen asleep?"

"For like 20 minutes now, can you move your head now? my legs are a bit numb right now"

This girl gave me a lap pillow after she found me lying down on the ground, I don't know did she look at the dead wolves around me or not.

"Anyway, did you defeat all of these wolves?"

There it is, is she able to read my mind or something? she looks surprised when she looks at the wolves dead body and more surprised when she saw the wolf leader's corpse got a big hole in it.

I can't nod and I can't say no, I remain silent for some reason and just staring at her taking a look at the corpses.

she walks back at me and pulls my arm, keeping me close to her, she dragged me away from that place, maybe back to the village.

"You can't stay here forever, it's too dangerous, you can't go here all by yourself"

I guess she's right, Ilya-nee will get worried if I'm not home when she's back, but I guess it's fine now because Elis is here with me right now.

We walk back to my house together, we don't really have any conversation when we walked back, and when we almost arrived at my house, someone is running from our backyard and suddenly slap my face.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN.. I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN HOUSE.."

Her face looks so angry but I can see she's crying because there was a tear in her eyes.

"Hey.. Ilya-san, what are you doing"

Elis tries to hold Ilya back, prevent her from hitting me again, I'm standing there just feeling the pain on my left cheek from my sister's slap.

I run back from where I come with a lot of tears coming down my eyes, I keep running and almost run into a horse carriage that coming from outside the village.
