Chapter 35 Davis I’m Sorry
?"I can't believe you guys let me go out alone for no reason" taking a gulp of wine Davis expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Calm down, calm down, it's not our fault it was totally unexpected, who would have guessed Alvin would trip over a bag containing our food when he went to do his business in the bush" with a slightly drunken face George waved it off nonchalantly.
And Alvin, whose black history was said, couldn't help but want to bury himself in the ground. Thankfully no one was paying too much attention to him at the moment.
"Damn it! It seems like you've forgotten who's the strongest among both of us" getting up from the ground, Davis said as he waved a drunken fist.
"Oh? Let's see who's afraid of who!" George shouted back as he held a wine bottle in hand obviously not wanting to fall behind.
Soon it looked like a drunken brawl would take place at any moment.
Seeing the two of them go at it, Elric suddenly had a headache, however remembering that they were supposed to be hiding, he knew he had to quickly stop them in order to prevent them from exposing themselves.
"Davis! George! Calm down, I know you're stressed from the day's events, however remember we're supposed to be hiding!" With a slight loud reprimand couldn't help but shout at the two thankfully the two of them weren't fully drunk and quickly acknowledged their mistakes.
"we're sorry, young master!!!" (2x)
Seeing them so sensible, Elric's slightly annoyed mood calmed down, and adhering to the principle of the carrot and the stick he proceeded to comfort them separately.
"Davis!"
"I know it must have been a lot of hard work and dangerous to get the food, and you might think that what you've done is useless but it's actually not, look at this!"
After saying this, Elric took out the food bag and showed its interior to Davis
"As you can see, it's empty!"
"What we're sharing is the last of the foodstuff, the fried meat had already been exposed and would start rotting any moment from now, and most of the wine bottles were found broken"
"In order not to waste the food we decided to eat it now"
Hearing Elric say all this, Davis was in shock, it turned out what they were eating was the last of the food they brought
However it didn't change the fact that he felt like all he'd done was a waste, thinking of this, he fell silent. And Elric who's used to dealing with all kinds of people on the blue start, how could he not know what Davis was thinking, with a slight smile he continued speaking
"but you Davis, you solved our predicament!"
"According to my estimate, the corpse you brought is about five hundred pounds."
"Do you know what that means?"
Not waiting for Davis to answer his question, Elric continued speaking
"It means you've indirectly solved our food situation!"
Hearing Elric say this, Davis' eyes shone with realisation, it turns out everything he did was not in vain rather he indirectly saved everyone from hunger.
Suddenly the earlier depression was swept away as if it was an illusion, and seeing Davis like this Elric knew that his goal had been accomplished.
"George!" Shouted Elric
Hearing the shout, George quickly shook off the drunkness from his eyes.
"George, although I must remind you that everyone is currently stressed out by the current situation after all no one expected this war to break out although I admit that this was my fault" f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Saying this Elric took a slight bow of apology to the three of them
"No! No! Young master don't do that"
"Yes young master, it's not your fault no one expected you to suddenly burst into light"
"Yeah it's all these darn monsters' fault for suddenly gathering around us"
Looking at the bowing Elric, the three Alvin George, and Davis quickly rushed to stop him.
"Calm down you guys, I know what I mean when I say it's my fault, however that doesn't mean we should stress each other out as we each already have enough on our minds"
"Now George, if you will apologise to Davis"
And George hearing what Elric said, with a slightly tangled face he turned to Davis
"Davis I'm sorry"
As soon as he said it, Davis felt like he'd suddenly unloaded a set of weight's
"Clap!*
"Good, it seems that everything is settled now we can go into the main event, Davis do you remember what you said earlier?" 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
With a clap, seeing that the matter had ended, Elric changed the topic unfortunately Davis didn't seem to remember.
"When you got here you asked why the surroundings were quiet, you probably can't remember due to your drinking however you are right, the surroundings are usually quiet"
After saying that Elric kept quiet, giving everyone a chance to listen to their surroundings, and to everyone's surprise it was deadly silent, it seemed the screaming of monsters in the background had totally disappeared.
"It seems that you've also noticed it" Said Elric as he noticed the seriousness on George's and Alvin's face.
"Umm!"
With a light nod, the two of them nodded in agreement
"According to my guess three things could have happened"
"One either the two sides have withdrawn from the war after calming down due to mass casualties"
"Two the two sides could have withdrawn after realising there was no treasure to gain with the disappearance of the light"
"And lastly, both sides decided to go on a temporary truce die to the nightfall ready to launch a final strike in the morning"
Hearing the three options given by Elric, their already serious faces became further dignified as they began to worry in case of the third option was correct
However, Elric's next words put them at ease
"Don't worry, we don't need to be afraid too much after all even if a final all out all round war breaks out tomorrow morning, as long as we stay hidden, the battle is sure not to affect us"
"And who knows, what if one of the first two happened and they chose to withdraw? So let's not think negatively and wait for tomorrow to find out"
? Hearing those words, the three of them nodded in agreement.
Soon after deciding who would keep the first watch, the remaining started to prepare to sleep in order to get ready for tomorrow's agenda.
