The next morning, Zeke wearing his full armor set, and Alice in her human form were standing on the entrance of the Happiness Village. Behind them there were every villager sending them off, both humans and Harpies.

The village chief's wife approached Zeke and said. "We are indebted to you, traveler."

"Please come to our village again, we'll be glad to have you!" Another human woman said.

The Harpy Queen was also together with the rest and said her part. "Even though we had our reasons, we were still wrong. Thanks to you, we were able to open our eyes and correct the mistake. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you! Come play with us again!"

"Please be safe!"

"Heehee… Come and play again! We'll be glad to be your partners then…"

Suddenly, a familiar sensation ran through Zeke's leg. He looked down and saw Pipi tugging on him. She held a sad expression while looking at him. "Mister, will you turn back one day?"

Zeke chuckled and nodded while crouching down to pat her head. "I will, don't worry about me. Just wait until then, then we can play together again, alright? Now go to mommy."

Pipi nodded and headed back to her family.

As Zeke and Alice turned back to leave, suddenly the Harpy Queen stopped them with a question. "Can I ask you one last question? The silver-haired woman, are you by any chance…"

The Harpy Queen trailed off, making it clear what she was talking about. However Alice just feigned ignorance and snorted. "I'm a traveling gourmet."

"Oh… Is that right… I don't need to inquire any further then, do I?"

Alice just shook her head, and turned to Zeke. "C'mon, let's go. We have nothing else to do now."

Zeke just shrugged and left the village with Alice. After a couple of kilometers, Alice turned back into her monster form and asked. "So, where are we going now, Iliasport?"

Zeke shook his head and said. "There is still another place where I should go before traveling to Sentora. There is something important I must do in Enrika."

"Enrika, huh?" Alice took out her World Traveler and looked through it, but she didn't found anything about it. "Are you sure it exists? There is nothing about that place in the book."

"It exists, I can assure you that. It is a hidden village that made the set I am currently wearing. But the thing I need to do there has no relation with the armor, it is a bit… Private."

"Alright…" Alice shrugged and put World Traveler back in her bag, then she asked. "What about the Daily spin?"

"Oh, I'll do it right now. It would be weird if things appear out of nowhere in the village, so I held back."

Zeke snapped his fingers, and the Spin screen appeared. With time, he was able to learn how to directly go to certain screens without passing through the main menu. He could do it with the inventory and now he can do it with the Spin.

He pressed Daily Spin and the slot started to turn colorful…

D.

"Well, I can't expect much after all, I was just lucky at the beginning…"

[You have received: Motorcycle Helmet ATLAS Mercury.]

Suddenly, a cool helmet colored in chrome and a dark visor appeared on his hands. Zeke raised an eyebrow at it and commented. "This is getting more random the more time passes…"

"Well, you have something to protect your head with, at least." Alice suggested. Zeke snorted and replied. "I need a protection for my crotch, not my head. You'd think any of the monsters out there would try to incapacitate you first before raping you, then you find out that it is the literal opposite."

"...True."

Zeke opened a map of Ilias Continent and looked at a place where he signed before. It was Enrika, and it stood inside a forest at southwest of Ilias Continent. "If we go at this hour without any encounter, we should arrive there before night. We can sleep in Iliasburg before continuing though…"

Alice sighed in exasperation. "Let's directly go to Enrika, I don't want to stay in this wretched continent a day longer."

Zeke shrugged and put back the map in his inventory, before taking out a compass. The needle pointed at his right, so southwest should be at their left, even if by a small bit.

He also put the compass in the inventory and then he walked forward with Alice, towards Enrika. Everything just to meet a lady that is watching over the hidden village, and ex-contender of the top 5 strongest people in this world.

Fortunately, this time there was no bee girl throwing honey on his head, or a grizzly bear girl chasing after him.

[Later]

Just as Zeke said, the sun was almost gone, the sky was darkening, and the cold was slowly creeping in the air.

However, the two were really close to Enrika, too. They were going in the middle of a green forest surrounding their path.

"Well, they seem pretty good at keeping the village hidden by placing a road on it, guess we will never find out the place's location." Zeke sarcastically said.

Meanwhile, Alice commented. "You know that this might also be a trap, right?"

"Of course I do, but we don't really have any hint here."

"Sounds legit… Hmm? I didn't expect to find this monster here…" After she finished, Alice magically vanished. A couple of seconds later, a dark elf appeared on her place.

[Notification(1)]

She unsheathed a dagger from the sheath on her left hip and pointed the tip at Zeke. "Go back whence you came. This is a place man must not approach."

Zeke just looked unimpressed at her, with tired eyes. He yawned and said. "You know what? I'm not even going to try to reason with you, I'm tired so please let's do this quickly."

He took out Angel Halo and grasped it with both of his hands, then he sprinted towards the dark elf. The speed at which he was going surprised her, but she was still able to sidestep before she slashed at his side.

Surprising her even more, the blade didn't made a single scratch and just bounced off. However, she didn't have time to think about it as Zeke twisted his body and slashed horizontally.

Angel Halo reached her, which she blocked with her dagger. This time Zeke was the one surprised, seeing how she is physically stronger than him.

Seeing an opportunity, the Dark Elf grasped his left arm and pulled him into a kiss. Her tongue penetrated inside his mouth, freezing his thoughts from the shock he received.

Seeing him lowering his guard, the Dark Elf stopped the kiss and smirked. "I'm going to contaminate you with my darkness…"

Her hand slowly trailed from his chest and approached his groin, meanwhile, Zeke wasn't doing anything…

Or was he?

Suddenly, he extended both of his arms at the Dark Elf's sides and held Angel Halo in a reverse grip, before he thrusted the blade towards his chest.

The cursed sword passed through the Dark Elf's back and reached his chest, but thanks to his Sun Authority, Zeke was not injured from the attack.

The Dark Elf was shocked at this sudden twist of events and tried to push herself away, however she only managed to enlarge her wound. The more she struggled, the more power she was losing, and in the end, she glowed white and got sealed into a mini version of herself as big as an Action Figure.

The mini Dark Elf looked around in surprise, and when her eyes landed on Zeke, she was terrified and ran away.

But before he could take another step, another Dark Elf stepped in. Zeke's hold on Angel Halo tightened and got angry. "Oh, come the fuck on! Another?!"
