Chapter 9 - Asheyye, the continent of elves!

Days quickly passed in their travels. The water was calm so their journey was better than what both of them have expected. Furthermore, no sea monsters were trying to attack them that made Alex guessed his aura is getting stronger to the point it scared them or causing the monsters to turn neutral.

It only took four days for them to reach the west side of the country, a mountain area but not rocky, it was illustrated as beauty and calm itself.

With his improved eyesight, Alex can see how beautiful the flowers and how intriguing the herbivores in the area look. Trees were also not that huge like back at the Quiet Maple Woodland.

"Paimon thinks we should dock... Over there!" Paimon scanned the place where they should dock and pointed to an area.

"Your the captain and guide Paimon, just lead the way." Alex patted her head which he heard a happy giggle from the adorable fairy and used her powers to steer the ship towards there.

As soon as they docked, Paimon lowered the Anchor and Alex leaped down from the boat that caused a tiny crater and cracks on the ground. Even though he wasn't using his strength, it still transpired, making Alex smile because he surely did grow stronger.

Paimon followed him the moment she was done doing her tasks and floated towards Alex to sit on his shoulders. Even though she was tall than most of the fairies, Alex doesn't have any problems having Paimon sit on his shoulders, he just worried about occasionally getting wet sometimes if he does something cool in her opinion.

"Paimon knows this area. This is called by the elves Calarel plains. But maybe the first village or kingdom we will encounter is from Dark Elves." Paimon spoke while looking around to familiarize the place again. It has been so long since she set foot in the Elven continent again, the reason she forgot some places and areas.

The west side of the Asheyye continent is mainly dark elves. Many types of elves are living on this continent, and even though they are different, they don't go to war or discriminate against each other but instead help one another if a kingdom is being attacked.

"Mainly in this area are all Herbivores, but on the other side are powerful predatorial creatures. So if you want strong minions, Paimon can bring you there!"

"Okay, I'll tell you once I need some. But for now, let's gain some achievements first. Any advice?"

"Hmmm... How about, visiting the dark elf village? If I remember, it's just an hour's walk from here. Paimon is sure they have problems!"

"Okay, let's go with that. Just lead the way Paimon."

Alex said to lead the way but instead, she floated back on his elbows and just pointed the way. The Duo resumed their walking while Paimon brightens the mood by humming and sometimes making fun of each other like trying to tickle his neck.

They stopped occasionally to meet new Herbivores. There was a Forest Deer that its fur was green and branch-like antlers with leaves. A bird that can sing, trying to copy Paimon's humming and a flying rabbit.

Eventually, they reached their destination, making Paimon sad because from now on, she understands they wouldn't be alone in this journey. She was enjoying that it was only both of them but she knows Alex is different as he confessed to her he was also an Incubus. The more women he has, the stronger he becomes.

"Don't worry Paimon, I won't leave you even there will be other people coming with us."

Alex grabbed Paimon from his shoulder and leaned closer to kiss her forehead. He felt that Paimon became sad because she stopped humming the moment they saw the tall village walls. Alex is sensitive when it comes to the emotions of women. That is why he immediately knew what Paimon was feeling.

Feeling his kiss and seeing his genuine smile, Paimon's sad expression slowly turning into a joyous smile with a tiny amount of tears trickled down to her cheeks.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Paimon rained appreciation to Alex as she grabbed his face by instinct and showered kisses on his forehead and cheeks. She was really happy that Alex didn't want to leave her as she was enjoying to accompany him. In her 200 years, it was rare for Paimon to feel contended because most beings wanted her for luck, as fairies were intended to bless them good luck.

But Alex wasn't forcing her to find treasures or gold, but a proper guide for him in this world. Alex still didn't confess to her about where he came from but Paimon's intuition told her Alex is a once in a lifetime companion, and she doesn't want waste this opportunity.

As she got tired of raining him kisses, Paimon propelled her body closer and hugged him. Her heart beating fast because of how happy she was. Though, she felt she must ready herself to have more rivals when it comes to his attention, or even more, his affection.

Alex patted her back while smiling. He too was happy enough to be accompanied by Paimon. Having an adorable and bubbly companion was the best thing a person could hope for. Especially when you are traveling.

A few minutes later, both of them began to show themselves at the village entrance. The village wall was tall with two watchtowers positioned at both sides of the Gate.

Currently, Alex wasn't wearing his leather armor anymore, but a hunter outfit that Paimon got from the Captain's cabin. There were many outfits that she chose for Alex but this was the one she decided that will make him look cool.

The Guards at the watchtower noticed a person was coming out from the tree area. He was wearing a hat and mask that covered half of his face. What made the guards surprised was a fairy was sitting on the shoulder of this newcomer, and to what they believed, fairies will only get close to a person if he wasn't evil.

Even though the newcomer looks suspicious like an assassin because of his outfit, but as elves, the companion of fairies, are their companion as well.

"Halt! Tell us your name stranger and what do you want from this village?" the guard asked.

Elves are really beautiful but they can't compare to Alex. Even Paimon was looking at the elf and Alex repeatedly that made her look funny and cute.
