Volume 2 Chapter 8: Spirit Village
After a few minutes, Keith had gotten off the ground. Keith apologized, "Sorry about taking your fruits."
"It's fine. If you give me more soup, I'll forgive you!" Fira smiled. Keith laughed, "Sure, you can have all the soup you want." Keith poured some more for her.
While Fira sipped on the soup, a thought came to her mind, "Do you want to come to my village?" Keith tilted his head, "Are you sure it's ok for me to go there?" From how Fira reacted to him, it seemed they had never met with humans before.
"Sure, you can come. You have an interesting aura." Fira smiled.
"Aura?" Keith tilted his head when he heard that.
"Mmhmm Mmhmm! You got a comfy aura around you." Fira stated again. Normally, she wouldn't get close to Keith. But there was something strange about him. She didn't feel any hostility. It was more easy to get along with. That was why she showed herself in front of him.
"Let's go!" Fira tugged on his shirt, wanting to bring him there. Keith laughed, "Alright, let's go." Like that, Fira led the way. It didn't take long before they arrived at the village.
And it was interesting. The village was built into the tree. While Keith stared at the sight, the fairies finally noticed him and Fira.
"Fira, did you bring someone home?"
"Huh? Why is there such a big spirit?!"
"That's a human!"
One by one, they started to shout at him. Keith quickly waved his hands, "Please don't be afraid! I'm not here for a fight." Keith expected something like this to happen. But the spirits continued to shout.
"Calm down! This man is good!" Fira shouted when she noticed how they were acting.
"Now that you mention it."
"He does have a comfy aura around him."
Looking at Keith again, they started to calm down.
"Fira." While everyone calmed down, an elderly voice called out to Fira.
"Grandpa!" Fira flew over to his side. When she did, her grandfather questioned, "Who did you bring home?"
"I brought home a friend! He makes really yummy food! We all have to try!" Fira said with an excited expression. Her grandfather frowned.
It seemed that he was a little mad.
Keith apologized, "I'm sorry. I'm not here to cause any trouble." But the grandfather shook his head. "It's fine. I can see it was my granddaughter's choice to bring you here." He smiled,
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tidal, and I'm the chief of this village. We are forest spirits." Tidal introduced himself and noticed it, "Eh, you have a strange aura around you."
"Can you explain?" Keith gave a wry laugh. He kept hearing the same line without knowing what it implied.
"Hmm? Isn't that a Samui on your shoulders?" Tidal then looked at the white ball of fur on Keith's shoulders. Mir yawned as he was undisturbed by them.
"His name is Mir. Also, that's Aria." Keith introduced them to Tidal.
"Child, your aura is strange because you earned the Samui's trust," Tidal explained.
That's true. Keith spent a lot of time with the Samuis. If he didn't gain their trust, he would have died.
"I also contracted with Shiro." Keith raised his hand up, showing the emblem on it. And that caused Tidal to laugh, "Then you don't have to be so worried! You're a friend!"
"I see." Keith took a deep sigh.
"Po!" Mir nuzzled his head onto Keith's neck.
Tidal explained, "The Samuis had been a guardian to our race. While they protected outside, no one would come near our village."
"I see." So that was why Shiro was so undisturbed by all of this. Keith noticed how nonchalant he was when Keith said he was entering.
"In return, we provide them with fresh grass to eat."
"No wonder." Keith clapped his hands. No wonder the grass was so green over there. Keith realized something. He noticed the grass around the herd was green! It was pretty fresh from what he saw!
"Keith!" While Keith talked to Tidal, Fira pulled on him,
"What's wrong, Fira?"
"Can you share some of your soup with everyone?"
"Sure." Keith smiled. The other spirits tilted their heads, wondering what he was doing.
Here it is. Keith then brought out a pot.
"Can you guys give me some space? I'm going to be heating it." Keith asked. The spirits had been swarming around him, wondering what he was doing.
The spirits backed away. As the soup boiled on the fire, it smelled so good. It drew them back in!
"Do you guys have spoons and bowls?" Keith tilted his head. There was no way he had their sizes.
"We'll bring them!" Tidal nodded. And like that, the spirits quickly dashed home to get their utensils. Keith put down a few bowls for them to take out from. While he did that, Mir started to move around.
"Don't worry. I didn't forget about you." Keith shook his head. He added, "Aren't you supposed to be grounded?"
