"Still no word from that idiot?" - Asked the obese nobleman as he looked at his subordinates.
"I'm sorry, master, but he disappeared without a trace, and from what we heard from the guards at the entrances, those two women left the city" - replied the servant while shaking his head.
"And why didn't anyone tell me?!" - roared the nobleman as he slammed the nightstand in front of him - "I want someone to chase them down and bring them to me immediately! It's obvious that the fool is dead!"
"O-Ok, I'll send someone at once!" - The servant exclaimed as he ran to deliver his master's orders.
"You useless bunch!" - roared the nobleman as he grabbed his heart because he could feel his blood pressure rising - "Ugh..."
* * * * *
"Ugh... Where am I?" - Leaf asked as he slowly opened his eyes and saw how he was in the middle of the forest - "Shit!"
"You finally woke up" - said a female voice.
Leaf looked at the responsible one and froze at the sight of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in all his long life, and what was better, she was of the same race as him, though at the same time he felt that there was something strange about her, as if he was in front of a power that forced him to his knees.
"Who are you?" - Leaf asked as he felt something catch in his throat.
"My names Lyutillis Haltina," Lyutillis replied as she squinted at the foul scent this elf had. She could sense how the spirits were ignoring this elf, something never seen before, at least by her.
"Lyutillis Haltina?" - Leaf exclaimed in terror as his body trembled - "Am I dead?"
"No, you're still alive, in fact, you're just in the sea of trees" - Lyutillis replied as she narrowed her eyes.
"Impossible, everyone knows you're dead" - Leaf said as he looked around and noticed how there were more women, and all of those beautiful in their own way.
The black haired woman standing next to the rabbit girl.
The supposed princess of the ancient elven empire.
The Dagon woman who was ignoring him.
The human princess(?) who was near the elf.
The red-eyed blonde girl who looked like a porcelain doll.
Yes, they were all beautiful, but he felt there was something odd in the middle, none of them seemed to be paying particular attention to him, which was a bit annoying, though at the same time he had to admit he was curious as to why all these beautiful women were gathered here.
"Like I said, I think it's best we return him to the city, he's no longer needed now that we got the sacred tree core" - Meiru said while frowning - "Besides, I don't like the look he's giving us."
"It's better to have more options, Meiru-chan" - replied Lyutillis with annoyance - "If we manage to get the golden apple, we might be able to wake him up more easily, besides, we can use that core for something else, like making the sacred tree be born once again".
"Tch, I hate it when you're right" - Meiru said while clicking her tongue, then looking at the bard elf - "Ok, start playing your harp"
"What are you talking about?" - Leaf asked with a frown as she didn't like this woman's attitude.
"Just play your weapon and we'll pay you" - Meiru said neutrally and her eyes were changing to a wild red colour.
Leaf shivered when he saw this because it wasn't what he expected, in fact, his body was shaking without him being able to do anything about it - "W-Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, all you have to know is that you have to follow my instructions, if I tell you play the harp, then you play the harp, if I tell you now, then you do it now" - Meiru said neutrally - "Is that clear, or do I have to physically let you know?"
"So-clear as day!" - Leaf exclaimed as he shook his head.
Lyutillis let out a sigh before gesturing for him to come to her.
Leaf didn't even look around, he simply followed the elf princess's instructions, when he saw the fruit on the tree and understood the reason for her presence - "Impossible... this is supposed to be a legend."
"Legends always have some truth to them, besides, it's not like we don't live in a world where gods exist" - Meiru replied with disdain.
Leaf didn't reply, he simply stared at the golden apple while swallowing hard - "W-What's my reward?"
"First, not to die, second, enough money so that you can live for at least three months without working" - Yue replied coldly - "Third, not to die..."
"I-I see..." - Leaf replied with a pale face as he began to play the harp.
The women around him nodded because despite this idiot's manner, he had talent.
The tree began to sway to the music as the girls looked curiously at the golden apple.
Lyutillis had instructed them not to make any movements so as not to "scare" the apple.
Leaf looked curiously at the golden apple, which was rocking slowly, until he noticed something fast grabbing it. He looked in the direction where the elven princess was and felt his heart stop at the sight of the legendary fruit so close.
"We have it, now we need to go back" - said Lyutillis as she nodded in Leaf's direction - "Good job, as we said, your reward will be delivered to you".
"Thank you" - nodded Leaf as he let out a sigh.
Tio quickly took it and carried it away, leaving the girls talking amongst themselves.
"Honestly, I would have rather we killed him" - said Meiru while frowning - "His look was disgusting".
"I don't think that's a good reason to kill someone, even though I understand your discomfort" - said Shea with annoyance - "Although if I'm honest, that look is nothing compared to the ones the inhabitants of that city gave to Tio-san and me."
"Better change the subject, now with the core and Idun's apple, we can save Cloud" - smiled Lyutillis while looking at Yue, who nodded calmly.
The vampire girl quickly snapped her fingers, creating a magic circle underneath them.
"[Teleport]" - Yue muttered as the group disappeared from the scene.
"I knew it..." - Alba muttered as she frowned - "I should have made my move much earlier, I guess I'll have to wait until I see them again..."
Alba let out an annoyed sigh before disappearing, after all, he couldn't stay in one place for long, not when Ehit might discover his location.

"You guys got here faster than I thought," Kaori said as she watched Yue appear along with the others.
"How's Cloud?" - Yue asked as she ignored the silver-haired girl.
"Much calmer," Kaori replied as she let out a sigh, "They found a way to help him wake up."
"Yes, though we're not quite sure if it will work or not" - Remia replied as she shook her head - "Though the odds are pretty high."
"That's good to hear" - smiled Kaori with slight relief - "Shall we get started?"
"I need a few minutes to prepare the apple" - said Lyutillis seriously - "And I'm going to need your help, Kaori-san."
"Huh? My help?" - Kaori repeated with surprise, though she quickly nodded - "I understand, let's go".
The two women withdrew, leaving the group to their business, though they all went straight to the room where Cloud was.
"Girls!" - Myu exclaimed with a huge smile - "Is daddy going to wake up?"
"Soon, little one... soon..." - Meiru said as she hugged the little girl because she reminded her of her little sister - "I promise."
Myu smiled before walking into the room to let her mother know that the girls had shown up.
"It's good to see you're back" - Remia said with a smile - "Did you find a cure?"
"Yes, I think so" - Shea replied as she explained the situation.
"Oh, I see, let's pray it's enough" - Remia said with concern.
The girls looked at Cloud, who was still sleeping, only now he was resting peacefully.
"We're sorry for the delay, it's just that he needs help to be able to use the necessary power" - said Lyutillis while shaking her head. She wasn't lying, in order to activate all the properties of the golden apple, the one who was going to eat it needed to create a connection with nature high enough, the thing is that she didn't have the necessary mana for this, that's why she wanted Kaori's help.
"Is it glowing?" - Shea asked in surprise as she saw how the golden apple was glowing - "Why?"
"Because it's ready to be eaten, although we have a problem... he can't chew..." - Lyutillis said as she played falsely.
"I suppose I have to," Kaori said seriously, "After all, this is a nurse's duty..."
"Don't even think about it, Ero Kaori..." - Yue said neutrally - "I won't let you rape her lips..."
"Violate?!" - Kaori exclaimed in embarrassment, though she quickly let out a cry of fury - "I'm just trying to help!"
"Your help isn't necessary," Yue replied as she narrowed her eyes.
The two girls began to argue as the others shook their heads.
