Chapter 26 - She's struggling too.

After thinking a little more about it, my mother decided that we would leave, because even though she did not believe that it could even be one of those monsters, she did not want to risk finding it here.

She wanted to go to the village, and somehow warn the adventurer guild about it, so they would investigate the place and try to detect this monster if it is really here.

Of course, I was not against this idea, even if we found this monster here, I'm sure we would end up dead because of its size, it is probably so strong that I couldn't do anything against it.

We went back through the forest while we talked about it. When we arrived at the village, we were greeted by some residents who were working there, some extending their clothes, others cutting wood, and so on.

I also found the woman I helped during the attack, and again She was grateful me, whenever I end up meeting people I helped, they thank me, I even started to accept it more easily.

After my mother talked to some people, we went home. She seems to have preferred not to speak to anyone about her suspicion, so as not to panic anyone in the village, and I think this is a good decision.

Imagine if the people in the village start to panic and leave because of a suspicion that a strong monster is nearby? If there is nothing nearby, we will have serious problems.

"So, now I can't go hunting, can I?" As soon as we entered the house, I asked my mother. As soon as she arrived, she went straight to her room and took her sword out of its sheath to keep it in the closet.

Since she is a magician, she took her sword just in case, but she didn't use it much.

I was right behind her, seeing everything she was doing and waiting for an answer to my question, and as soon as she finished packing her sword into the closet, she turned to me and looked into my eyes.

"Do you really think I should let you out? This will only happen when I'm sure there's nothing in this forest, do you understand?" She passed me and walked to the living room, I followed her.

"I can go to the other side of the forest ..."

"This forest is just one, even if you go the other way, you still have a chance to find it if it's around here, you know?"

"Haaaa, alright ..." There was nothing I could do, so I just sighed and gave up trying to confront her about it.

"And don't even think about sneaking out again, if that happens, I won't forgive you this time, do you understand?" I already understood, I will not be sneaking out anymore, I will not take any chances doing that, I don't want to face your anger.

After finishing the conversation with my mother, she left the house and went somewhere, probably to do something involving what we saw in the forest, and since I had nothing to do, I went to my room.

"Are you okay? I thought you'd be back later." As soon as I opened my bedroom door, I could hear another door opening and a woman's voice.

"Lari ... Well, we found something in the forest and decided to go back, it looks like it will take a while for me to hunt some monsters again." I went into the room and Lari followed behind: "Did you find something in the forest? Can you tell me what it is?" She looked curious.

"Nothing much, then you can ask my mom, okay?" I decided not to say anything about it, my mother might not like me to say it, Lari seemed to have accepted this, so I decided to change the subject: "Leaving this aside, is Lisandra in her room?"

"Yes, she hardly ever leaves your room, she prefers to read, just like you when you were younger."

"Well, I practically read all the books I had in this house, but it is good that Lisandra is so interested in them, it may be that she gets even stronger using magic from now on."

"Really?"

"I'm sure of it, she was able to use magic before, so I'm sure she has evolved even more now."

The last time I looked at her Status, her magic had evolved a little, since she had started studying together with me and my mother, but after what happened, we stopped our studies and she started to focus a lot on books.

I'm sure that she is even stronger now than before, reading these books helps a lot, they helped me a lot, I hope she also takes advantage of the teachings that they can provide.

When I finished talking to Lari, I took the sword that my mother had given me and kept it with the scabbard, placed it right next to my bed. Lari didn't even ask about the sword, seeming to already know about it.

I left my room, leaving Lari behind, and went to Lisandra's room.

Toc ~~

Toc ~~

I knocked on the door and could hear a voice from inside allowing me to enter, so I opened the door and went into his room. The first thing I found was Lisandra lying on her bed with a book in her hands, above her face.

There were also many other books beside her bed, I could recognize many of them, there were many books that I had also read before.

"It looks like you're very focused on studying each of these books."

"Yes, there are so many books about monsters, spells, cultures. This is certainly a treasure, I am addicted to reading these books." Lisandra left the book she was reading on the bed and sat down to talk to me.

She was like me when I started reading and studying, I practically got addicted to doing that, well, I have a goal to stay strong, but I don't know why she is so addicted to studying all of this.

"Yes, they are very good books. But then, why do you enjoy reading all these books?" I went over and took one of them in my hand, it was one of the monster books I had read some time ago.

"I don't know for sure, I just think the stories that tell some of them are cool, and it's also cool to get all that knowledge." Ohh, she spoke in a more adult way now, it really surprised me.

"I see, I also really enjoyed reading these books. What about magic, did you manage to evolve even more?"

"Hmm, I learned more about magic by reading the books, but I didn't get to train, so I don't think it changed much ..." She focused so much on reading books that she didn't even train her own magic? This is frustrating, I thought she was already reaching our mother's level.

"You can train whenever you want, don't try too hard. I haven't trained in a while, either."

"Don't you train? Didn't you want to go to the forest to do this? So, did our mother allow you to do this?"

"Hahaha, I can't say you're wrong. And about my mom, I think she won't let me go to the forest for now, but maybe it won't be long, some things have happened ..."

"Some things?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, but it won't be long before she allows me to go to the forest."

"I hope so, you seemed very much looking forward to it."

"Yes, I was." I don't know why exactly being so anxious, does this goal of getting stronger, really make any sense? I don't know if it will change anything to be the strongest person in this world.

Maybe I just wanted to protect myself so that it doesn't happen again, or maybe I'm in too much of a hurry and I don't have to be so anxious to level up? I have to think about it a little better.

After talking a little more with Lisandra, I left her room and let her continue her reading, I had to talk to my mother to see what she had decided to do, she has been gone for some time.
