Elves: My Fantasy World

Chapter 1005 It seems Shen Yu is also a fool.

()

Hercules pressed the person who had stood up down again.

"Herakuro... (Why do you always move around like that? Your body has been dormant for so long, and I just gave you an injection. If your body falls apart from moving, how am I supposed to explain it to Shen boy...)"

Cheng Xi was pinned to the bed by a large beetle. She blinked, seemingly still unaware of her situation... Indeed, it had been a long time since she had maintained a clear mind.

"Um, are my Pokémon all alright?"

Heracross glanced at her sideways and pointed to the four Poké Balls on the table.

"Hey rakuro~ (They're all here~)"

Cheng Xi didn't understand, but the meaning was self-evident.

Hercules was stirring something in a pot with a large wooden spoon, and judging from his expression, he seemed quite satisfied with the new pot and spoon that Shen Yu had bought.

After all, this is a modern product. Although mass-produced items may not have such fine workmanship, their quality is absolutely top-notch.

Heracross scooped a spoonful of the sticky, green paste from the pot, examined it closely, then rubbed a little between his fingers and his fingertips, nodding in satisfaction.

Reduce the sauce over high heat until it becomes a thicker paste, then scoop it into a bowl and serve it to Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi remained unmoved for a moment.

Hercules was taken aback. He propped himself up against her back, placed the bowl in her palm, and made a eating motion.

(He drank it.)

?

Cheng Xi: (⊙＿⊙)?

"Drink...does that mean drink?"

Cheng Xi looked at the thick, bubbly paste still churning with dark green bubbles in the bowl and swallowed... But because she hadn't eaten for so long, and this stuff had a faint aroma of vegetables, she actually started to salivate a little!

Am I crazy?

Hercules didn't say much, but picked up the little fox next to him, whose whole body looked similar to the green, gooey fox in the bowl, and washed away the dirt in the water.

Only then did Cheng Xi recognize the elf.

If that's the case...

Cheng Xi swallowed again, took a deep breath, and pinched her nose—

"Ugh!—Ugh?"

It was sticky, but the taste was like lotus root starch, not as... exotic as I had imagined.

Cheng Xi took a sip and licked her lips—it was sweet, smooth, and quite delicious.

It made her curious about what the residue from Sylveon's wash smelled like.

Heracross put the bowl down and casually tossed it into the sink. Cheng Xi looked up at the surroundings... just like in the videos she'd seen before, a tree trunk had been hollowed out and decorated to create a room.

Haha, you guessed it, this is inside a tree.

"Herakuro~ (Now that I can stand up, let's move around a bit~)"

Hercules demonstrated with gestures—he beckoned her to get out of bed and pointed outside.

She realized that not every human could understand her, so she decided to tell Shen about the rest of the treatment.

Sylveon could have stayed to act as a translator, but as soon as she heard that Shen Yu was still outside, she immediately ran away through a side path, telling Shen Yu to wait until her fur had grown back before seeing her again.

These days, young girls are really something... wow!

Hercules raised his hand, parted the leaf curtain, and waved to the outside.

"Hey Rakuro~ (Come in~ He's alright now~)"

Shen Yu poked his head in and chuckled when he saw Cheng Xi still sitting on the shop in a daze.

When he was first kicked out, Shen Yu had a very strange feeling... like standing outside the ICU, with no one knowing what was going on inside, and he could only pray that the light above would turn green soon.

Now, seeing that person who just seemed to have already passed out sitting there alive, with a slightly bewildered look in his eyes, tsk, that's interesting.

Cheng Xi looked dazed, sitting there motionless, as if waiting for Shen Yu to come over.

Hercules couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Shen Yu and pulled him in, pushing him forward.

"Hey, rasukuro! (Hurry up! She just woke up and is waiting over there!)"

Shen Yu: ? Auntie? Aren't you Her Majesty the Queen's subordinate?

Despite his inner complaints, Shen Yu still went over and sat down at the shop with them.

Move, move.

Shen Yu turned his head and saw that the girl was tilting her head to the right, but her body was leaning towards him little by little.

"Hey, come here."

Shen Yu "held" her head and turned it so that it rested on his shoulder.

With a snap, he burped on the spot—not really.

Hercules wisely withdrew, leaving the man and woman alone in the room.

Little Soft? It has no gender, so it can't be counted.

Are you feeling better?

"Ah."

The questions and answers were utterly pointless, but that's exactly what they needed to talk about now...

However, Shen Yu was a good-for-nothing. Even though he was sitting there, he was still hesitant. Even if he talked nonsense, he couldn't find any other topics. He could only rely on Cheng Xi, who had just recovered, to take the initiative to speak.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you..."

"It's no trouble at all. How can coming to your rescue be considered troublesome?"

Heracross, standing outside the house, raised an eyebrow and tilted his head in confusion.

Why did you stop? Keep going! You can't just say a sentence or two!

The air grew still again, but Cheng Xi leaned closer to Shen Yu's shoulder.

"Stay by my side until you've fully recovered, or—I'll show you around here later, and if you like it, you can live here."

Cheng Xi rested her face on Shen Yu's shoulder, but because she was too thin, there was no longer any plump flesh to squeeze out. She could only look at Shen Yu's profile from the side, her lips moving slightly.

"Hmm... I don't want to be outside alone anymore."

"I really, really miss you so much."

Shen Yu swallowed hard and stood up from the shop instantly.

"I'll go get you something to eat."

Holding her skeletal hand on her thigh, Shen Yu strode out of the treehouse and saw Heracross lying by the wall.

"Please keep an eye on things for me again."

Having said that, without waiting for Heracles to say anything more, he ran away "like the wind".

Heracross could only watch his king's retreating figure, shaking his head with a helpless smile.

Still young~

If you don't do more while you're young, will you have many regrets when you look back on it later in life?

…………

When Shen Yu returned to the lakeside, he saw the Queen and the super-powered girl staring at each other without saying a word, as if they were playing "Red Light, Green Light".

But Shen Yu sensed that there seemed to be sparks flying between their eyes... He decided not to concern himself with it and should focus on cooking for Cheng Xi first.

"Shen Yu~"

Shen Yu took a deep breath and slowly turned around.

"I'm back~"
