“These damn humans!” He suddenly cursed. “Only they would dare spit on Esmore like this! Giving us a cursed house! How dare they!”
“M-master! Maybe they didn’t know!” A small ten-year-old girl with tears in her eyes and similarly pointed ears wearing a maid outfit also appeared.
At this point, the paired seed to notice standing in front of them. Imdiately, an angry expression ford on the guy’s face.
“You… punk! Are you the cause of this? I knew the humans were up to sothing! I’ve caught you red-handed. Don’t even think you can run away!”
“Eh? I just ca here because I heard soone scream and I was worried.” I admitted. “Um… are your parent’s ho?”
“This bastard is looking to die!” The little boy scread. “How dare you look down on the Esre! You shitty humans should all die! I ca here as an ambassador in good faith. Not only do you hand the smallest property, but you also gave a cursed ho!”
“I’m sorry!” The maid girl bowed. “Master is just angry right now. We’re not children. We’re Esre from Esmore. We’re your neighbors!”
“You’re not a child!”
“I’m actually 22. And Master is in his sixties!”
“So, you’re like an elf? The Keebler kind?”
“Oi… don’t be comparing us to those extinct creatures!” The boy snapped.
“So say the Esre descended from elves, but the elves were all wiped out.”
I scratched my head. It looked like I really should have been looking at history and culture books as opposed to maps. I hadn’t even heard of the Esre before now. They looked like children with slightly pointy ears. That was all I could say about this. Although, that did explain why their ho was the smallest.
“Since you guys are small, you probably didn’t need a bigger mansion, right?”
The Esre boy stomped on my foot. “You bastard! Tall with those bulbous noses and those round ears!”
He continued to curse, but he didn’t seem to be trying to get in trouble. anwhile, the maid next to him was continuing to bow and apologize. Considering they both had the appearance of children, it was a pretty strange and uncomfortable scene. Just as I was deciding to bail out of this conversation and go talk with soone else, I saw so kind of movent behind them. A dark mass seed to form in midair, and then a form started to erge from it. It had so nasty looking claws, and it looked like it was reaching for the maid.
Before I could stop myself, I reached out and grabbed the maid, pulling her to . She let out a cry as I pulled her into my arms protectively. I instantly held out my hand towards the form. At this mont, the other guy noticed the black thing too and stumbled back fearfully. It had finally removed itself from the dark bubble. It was long and willowy, composed only of fluctuating dark fog. It lunged in our direction.
“Holy Circle!” The circle erupted from my fingertips and surrounded all of us.
The pure holy energy surrounded the shadow too. It was clear it couldn’t handle it because a mont later it lted apart into nothing.
