Chapter 166
Standing on top of the mountain is the 「World Tree」 which has become the symbol of the island . The surrounding area has been planted by hundreds aquatic trees which were releasing a dense air of water elements . That rich air was nurturing the World Tree . The excess elements overflowing from the top of the mountain were flowing into a lake that was formed on the hillside . Once it was filled, the water flowed down and become a river which is the precious water source for the village .
In the banks of the lake, a dark elf girl was showing a flat face that was hiding her happiness . In her hands, there were cakes and cookies .
“Master, please have a taste of the tea that I brewed . ”
“Oh, thank you . ”
Yu, upon receiving the tea from Marifa immediately tried to smell it and taste the tea . When Yu muttered delicious, Marifa lower her head as if she was afraid but her ears dyed bright red couldn’t hide her joy . By the way, the tea cup was ordered by renowned Royal Hawk which has a long established history in the making of first class tableware in the Houdon Kingdom . The table and chair were the product of the village craftsmen where the wood was produced from a large four hundred years old tree . The carpet that was laid on the ground is a product of Marukohan craftsman which is known as one of the three big producer of carpet which was braided by several people over three years using the finest silk .
Even though the tea leaves were common and the price wasn’t that expensive but these were all bought with Marifa own money . Her salary from Yu had been kept in her room and treated as memorabilia .
The beastman, magic dwarf and fallen dwarf children were wading happily on the shore . Despite all of the pleasing sight, Yu's expression wasn’t good .
“Nina, it’s heavy . ”
Nina at the moment was hunched from behind of Yu and clung onto him .
“Hehehe, what are you thinking about? There, Yu, feed me the biscuits . ”
Even though Nina could get it on her own, Yu took a biscuit with one hand and feed it to Nina who opened her mouth like a chick . Nina ate the delicious biscuits but since it was kind of dry, she looked at the tea on his hand .
“Are you thirsty?”
“Yu is really understanding; you even know that . ”
Since the tea was a little hot, Nina screamed “aw, hot” but it doesn’t burn her tongue .
“Nina, the tea tastes good right?”
“Hmm, it’s only because I received it from Yu . ”
Hearing that Marifa can only grumble but Nina completely didn’t hear her as she asked for more tea from Yu .
“King, I caught some fish!”
A little beast girl with a fish in hands was rushing towards Yu . Even though they called beastman but actually they came from various beast race . Not just pure ‘beast’ race and as such, the girl that came towards Yu has her body covered with pure white fur and came from the ‘Inu’(dog) race . Her appearance was similar to Samoyed mixed with Yobawareru (a kind of dog species) .
Yu looked at the incoming figure .
“Oh, that was a big catch . ”
The little girl body was drenched because she dived into the lake and Yu wiped her with a cloth that he received from Marifa which caused the little girl eyes to narrow when she smiled .
“Can we eat the fish?”
“Yes, we can eat it but we need to wait till it is a little bigger because there’s a lot of us . ”
The girl then muttered “Is that so?” and returned the fish to the lake and continued playing with the children .
“She is happy just because of a fish, they’re still childish . ”
Namari said that with cold eyes while his whole body was drenched .
“Namari, you’re not convincing in that condition . Here, come . ”
Marifa then used another cloth to wipe Namari’s head . That was a funny sight where Marifa dried him off . The children looked at him and at the next second, Namari ran towards them . The children were making fun of him and he ran after them while smiling .
“Namari wait, I haven’t wipe you completely . ”
“Mari onee-chan, don’t worry, I have a strong body, I won’t get sick . ”
Marifa then let out a low sigh, “There he goes . ” Only after that, she noticed that Nina and Yu were staring at her .
“Master, is there something you need?”
“No, I’m just thinking that you’re like a caretaker . ”
“So Mari-chan is your caretaker?”
“Nina, it’s different . I’m only doing something that will benefit my master . ”
Marifa feeling shy then escaped from Yu’s line of sight with going to brew a new tea as an excuse .
“Ha ha, Mari-chan is shy . But Yu, this place is really wonderful . The lake, tree, flowers, is this all made by Hisui?”
“Yeah . This is because Hisui ability is amazing . The dryad takes control of the plants, I font it will be hard even to just plant normal plants here . ”
Hearing the explanation, Nina was impressed, saying “Woah . ” Marifa on the other hand pretending not to be interested but her ears were twitching every time Yu is praising Hisui .
“By the way where is Lena?”
