Chapter 188 Plowing

After they finished eating lunch, the group spent some leisurely time for a while, just resting there, letting the summer breeze brush past their hairs.

Alex laid down on the ground with his eyes closed.

In the surrounding area, the only sound that could be heard was the wind, the trees swaying with it, and the few birds and insects around.

Maybe it's because of the energy emanating from both Blaze and Ferri but, not even one monster came while they were here.

Because of that, they managed to get some peace while doing nothing.

After more or less an hour, Alex stood up and said, "Okay, that's enough rest. Now, let's go back on the road!"

"Yes, Brother Zero!" Angelica responded.

Ferri and Blaze also got up at this time and were immediately ready to go.

Alex packed up the items for a minute before they left the place.

After everyone was done eating breakfast, Alex, Nene, and the kids went out of the house.

As they came out, they were greeted by the warm smiles of the villagers who had already started their day at 5 o'clock in the morning.

"Good morning, Mr. Zero!"

"Did you have a good sleep, Mr. Zero?"

"Mr. Zero, did you already eat breakfast?"

…

Alex looked at the warm villagers and greeted them back with a smile on his face.

At the same time, Alex noticed that the villagers stopped calling him 'savior' and started calling him with his 'name's.

'Hmm, it seems like the village head already told them that I didn't like it, huh. That's good!' He silently thought.

Just as Alex is talking with a few random villagers, the voice of Nene sounded at this time.

"Father!" She called.

Hearing that, Alex looked at Nene and followed her sight.

Then, he saw the old village head coming towards him at this time with a smile on his wrinkly face.

"Good morning, Mr. Zero. Were you able to rest well last night?"

Alex greeted the village head with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I was able to rest comfortably thanks to the house that you let us use."

"That's good to hear."

After saying that, the village head asked, "So, are you going to leave now?"

Alex nodded, "Yes, I want to arrive at Kupido Town before the day ends so we're actually in a hurry."

"Is that so?"

The village head nodded in understanding but there was still a hint of disappointment on his face.

After a few seconds, the village head looked at Alex and said, "Okay, I understand. Then before you go, please accept some of the things that me and the other villagers have prepared for you."

Saying that, the village head turned around and went back to his house before Alex even replied.

Seeing that, Alex wasn't able to say anything anymore and ended up only letting out a sigh.

On the side, Nene approached Alex with an apologetic face.

"Uhm, I'm sorry about my father. He's just that thankful for all the help that you did to us that's why he's like that."

Alex waved his hand and said, "No, you don't have to apologize."

Sighing, he continued, "I am just afraid that he will always feel indebted to me. Plus, the things that he gave me back then were already precious enough."

"That's why, there shouldn't even be any reason for him to act like this."

When she heard that, Nene looked in the direction where her father went and stared in silence.

Then she said, "That's just how my father is. When a person did something good to him, he will make sure to repay it multiple times."

"Also, my father is just naturally kind. That's why, it might seem a bit overwhelming to some from time to time."

Alex can't help but become quiet after hearing Nene's words.

After a while, the village head came back carrying a big bag on his back.

Carrying that bag, the village head walked to Alex and dropped the bag on the ground in front of him.

Alex looked at it with curiosity and asked, "What is all of that?"

Patting the big bag, the village head said, "This? These are the items that the villagers want you to have."

"They said that this is their small gesture of showing you how grateful they are to you."

Saying that, the village head pulled out a fruit from inside the bag and showed it to Alex.

Alex realized that the items inside are most probably some local items that the villagers here have.

Then the village head said, "Anyway, don't refuse now, okay?"

"After all, these are the hearts of the villagers for you. So, just accept it and always remember us."

How can Alex refuse after hearing all that?

Shaking head with a helpless smile on his face, Alex said, "Alright, I'll take it. Please tell everyone that I am grateful for all their gifts."

Hearing that, a wide smile covered the village head's face.

"Good, good, here take it."

The village head handed the big bag to Alex, who immediately put it inside his inventory.

After doing that, Alex looked at the village head again and said, "Village head, thank you for your hospitality while we are here. We really felt the warm and welcoming attitude of everyone with us."

Smiling happily, the village head said, "It's great that we were able to feel you welcomed. Just hearing you say that is already more than enough for us."

After that, Alex talked with everyone for a while before he said goodbye to them.

Walking out of the village, the whole village accompanied Alex and the kids, watching them leave with smiles on their faces.

Ferri and Blaze has been waiting for them outside the village for a long time so when they saw Alex and the kids, the two immediately stood up.

Turning around, Alex looked at the people who accompanied him until he left the village such as the village head, Nene, and the other villagers.

"Everyone, once again, I thank you all for letting us stay in your village. I will also not forget the hospitality that you've shown."

"I will come back again someday. For now, we will have to go. Goodbye, everyone."

Waving his hand at them, Alex turned around and looked at the two who've been looking at him.

He smiled and said, "We shall continue our journey now. It won't be long until we arrive home."

After saying that, Alex helped Angelica and her brother climb up on Ferri's back.

With that, Alex said his farewell one last time to the villagers before they started moving.

Watching them leave, the village head let out a disappointed sigh before turning around the going back to his house.

Seeing that, the other villagers also dispersed and started doing their own things.

In the end, only one person was left standing at the entrance of the village, gazing at the distance where Alex and the others left.

That person is the daughter of the village head, Nene.

A light shone on her eyes and she muttered, "Someday, I wanna go out of the village like them. I wanna follow them!"

…

5 hours after leaving the Bokunat Village, Alex and his group came to a stop on the side of the road.

"Let's stop here for now and rest. At the same time, we can also eat our lunch while we are here."

Hearing that, Ferri and Blaze immediately stopped and laid down on the ground to rest.

Angelica jumped down from Ferri's back, leaving her brothers there to relax.

"Brother Zero, what are we going to eat? Please let me help."

Glancing at her, Alex said, "Sure. I want to cook a meat dish called adobo today."

Nodding, Angelica asked, "Then, what should I do, Brother?"

Alex thought for a moment before asking, "Can you handle a knife?"

Angelica nodded, "Yes. In the past, I always had to cook for my brothers so I could use the knife."

Hearing that, Alex snapped his fingers and a knife appeared in his hands along with a couple of onion-like things that he found from the bag given by the village head.

"Here, cut this into big squares while I'm preparing the meat."

After saying that, Alex took a larger slab of meat from his inventory and put it into the chopping board that he also brought with him.

By the way, the meat that Alex is preparing isn't just any meat.

But the meat of a monster called Orc.

This was also something that was inside the bag handed by the village head.

From the looks of it, this Orc meat should be something that came from the village head personally.

Because Orc meat can be said to be a delicacy that a normal villager would never be able to afford.

Chop!

Anyway, while feeling thankful for all the gifts, Alex started chopping the meat into tiny pieces.
