Of course, I expected some people to make a move one me and the Elf where the one I highly suspect to make that move.
Either they want me to be intrigued, or I'm just overthinking things.
"Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo" (A star shines on the hour of our meeting).
She began the conversation using an Elvish greeting.
Why would I know that a Elvish greeting ?
At's first it was all about my interest for The Lord of the Rings. I've recently became a fan of Tolkien's universe, and I thought it would be fun to pick up a few words in Elvish.
Hell, it was there that I become interested in the Isekai in the first place.
And it's was not like I was trying to become fluent or anything, but just knowing some phrases feels a little more interesting than learning Chinese.
Learning Elvish is just a fun little challenge—nothing too serious, but it definitely adds something special to my LOTR experience.
(No offense there.)
There is a time when I would have loved being able to throw out a "Mae govannen" (Well met) when I meet a fellow fan or say "Lle naa vanima" (You are beautiful) just because it sounds cool, but I never really have the luck to use it.
How does that feel? A bit lighter and more personal!
Which turned out to be a good idea, by the way.
"Anar kaluva tielyanna" (May the sun shine on your path.) I replied in turn, bowing slightly as a sign of respect for elders.
It seemed to make a good impression, judging by the small smile she gave me. Looking more closely at her face, I could see that despite the very noticeable dark circles under her eyes, she was truly beautiful.
I mean, most of the people I've seen lately are more attractive than average in my world. But let's get back to the conversation.
"Pleased to meet you, Sir Alexandrie. I am Anabel Amares, a mage of the Elbart family."
"As well to mine, so excuses me my rudeness but what bring you there, Miss Anabel? I am a little busy right now and I would like to finish some tasks before it becomes quite late."
As politely as possible, I asked her the reason for her presence, emphasizing the time.
"Please excuse the intrusion, but this is a request from our heir, she would like to invite you to a little appetizer, if you have the time."
She seemed to have grasped my hint and got straight to the point.
(I see, so a one-on-one meeting. Well, we'll see what they want when the time comes, but let's pretend I'm doing them a favor.)
"Okay, I think I'll be available tomorow afternoon, so if you'll excuse me, I must take care about the little sweetheart in my hands."
She glanced at Ivy, and with what I could see were stars in her eyes while i hurriedly left.
(Okay it's time for me to go back to my bed, whatever will happen this afternoon will happen. Lucas you must have a firm will. Stick to your goals and go sleeping!) I thought to myself and chuckled at how often I ended up monologuing like this.
I take out the egg and place them in the table and after that i simply discarded again my clothes, because i like it that ways.
"And with that… it's about time to sleep," I added, yawning slightly as drowsiness began to take over and i drifted towards the bed.
My eyelids grew heavy, and I allowed my tired mind to sink into the sweetness of sleep with my body pillow in the sharp of the lil snake.
There would be plenty of time to worry about the future later... Zzzzz
ZZZZZ...ZZZZZZ
[ 11:34 AM ]
I yawned as I woke up, rubbed my eyes, and found Ivy seriously gripping my abdomen with her vine. She seemed to be having a really exciting dream, so I let her hang on.
(Okay, now what can I do for the moment? It's still quite early for me now, and I don't feel like getting out of bed yet.)
(I still need to prepare the food, water and our shelter during the journey and there other things that i need to think about.)
While i was thinking of what to do, I'm remembering the notifications I received yesterday but ignored because of the situation.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
The comfort in which I had been resting vanished as I read the information in front of me. Any lingering desire to stay in my bed disappeared without a trace.
I immediately sat up to re-read the information in detail, and it seemed to me that I had already read it correctly the first time.
1 Month. It seems plenty of time but in my situation, is much more like 3 days and right now, i only have one active Pokemon, and not even plenty evolved, so it not very the best moment to begin something in these caliber with.
(And with how dangerous this world are really is in a situation like these, I don't think that's i will accomplish this mission unharmed or worse Ivy.) I was seriously taking my time to think of the possibility to accomplish my first mission.
(First, we'd have to rescue the people. In the game, no problem, it wouldn't even take 3 hours, but now it would be in the real world, and I'm not really sure the special identity will help much.)
While my mind was in turmoil, I felt a strange liquid spreading across my abdomen. It seemed to be the drool of my greedy snake.
Ivy's deep breaths brought a delightful smile to my face and calmed my racing thoughts.
I circulate my Psy in myself to clear my mind. And this manipulation had the desired effect; my mind was calmed and simply refreshed.
(Okay, no time to worry so much about that now. We'll take it one step at a time and see how things go when the time comes, so let's stay calm and see after the extermination is over.)
After spending some time 'meditating,' as I like to call it in this state, I resumed my plan to fill the Magic Stones with my energy, which had ended in failure. It didn't seem to change for quite a while, and I finally decided to have a little pratice with my power.
Of course, I have already several ways I plan to use my power. For example, the spirit gun of a certain Yusuke, or the Rasengan of Naruto UZUMAKI. But I don't expect to challenge myself in that level when I haven't even been able to get my first insurance policy.
I take out a box from my bag containing two interactive figurines. I'm not one of the biggest fans of action figures, but I had my fair share growing up, so I have a soft spot for them in my heart.
So, seeing them on display for sale outside and of such high quality (biased opinion), I took the opportunity to buy them. Even though only a demonstration convinced me to get them.
The wooden box shows the figure of a man pointing a sword at a dragon; of course, this is a nod to the popular tale of Albert Walestein, the hero who fights the Black Dragon and manages to injure one eye, making it known as the One-Eyed Black Dragon.
By focusing my energy on the two puppets, I begin my remote manipulation. The main reason for this purchase, besides its quality, is my plan to expand my precision in controlling objects beyond static ones.
Hence my desire to play the puppeteer with my power, and it seems the result is worse than I expected.
(Controlling the figurine in general isn't a problem, but controlling its limbs becomes impossible.)
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Then suddenly, a knock at the door jolted me out of my concentration, leaving the figurines upside down, subject to the influence of gravity.
"Yes, who is it?" This time I'm staying in bed because I don't intend to witness the same spectacle that had been better the night before.
"Mr. Lucas, it's Sarah again. I just wanted to let you know that lunch will be ready soon. I was wondering if we'd save you a place setting?" She seems to have expectations, but I don't see why I should deprive myself of lunch.
"Okay, save one. I'll come down right away." I reply, starting to get up while trying to wake my sens.
"Okay, Mr. Lucas."
'....'
But she didn't leave immediately. It seemed to me that she waited at the door for a full two minutes before finally tiptoeing downstairs.
(At the end of the preparation, I head straight for Orario.) Recalling some incredible details, I head to the bathroom.
I rubbed my eyes a little and then taking toothpaste and brush, I got near the sink and looked at myself at mirror. I brushed my teeth for a few minutes before, washing myself, and getting fresh. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it showed that it was 11:52 A:M, I walked out of my room after taking Ivy with me, and descended down through the wooden stairs.
I walked towards a dining table that seemed unoccupied, sat on one chair and 3 seconds later Sarah appeared and left three boiled potatoes sprinkled with some salt.
"Thanks Sarah." With no further ceremony I give Ivy a Sitrus Berry and I slowly ate it up I saw her.
And not even 1 minute that i take a seat, someone make her ways toward me.
"GGG-Good mm-morning, hh-handsome, a bbbb-beautiful mmm-morning doesn't yyou tt-think?" One of the female adventure get up she said with a very awkwardness grin.
Sligthy surprised I quickly nodded and said, "G-Good Morning Miss."
Surprised she came closer and patted my behind," HH-Have aaa gggood time lad", she said and I nodded, she leaving the inn in quickness.
(Well, I don't think I make myself feel sociable to others easily, but she herself not seems to have undertaken this enactment of her will.)
(Anyway, I don't think i will get any others lunch there, unlike back in my home where I would get a sumptuous breakfast with meat, vegetable soup and soft and delicious bread, but now i'm there with basically some boiled potatoes, and some sprinkled salt on it.)
"Okay Ivy let's take a walk outside."
NB: Sorry for the late update but I would like to take my time for thinking on some of my idea so it take time, but it had advanced and if you see some error in the text, tell me and i will fix it.
NOWW GIVE ME YOUR STONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE
