89. Little Drex

In Rucif's tree house, the body of Drex who drank the medicinal potion glowed. Rucif, who was confident that the potion could restore Drex's strength, looked surprised when Drex's form was slightly different from what he expected.

“Wow, you're much cuter now, Drex!”

"Don't kidding! Did I become a little Lycan? How Lea will look at me! Come on, Rucif, do something!” Drex asked.

"Hmm__ just a moment, let me think!"

Little Drex sat down, his naked body only covered with his big tail, and then sat sulking.

"Go on, put on some clothes in my room! Fairy cloth can adjust to the size of the wearer! I'm tired of seeing you like that!" said Rucif.

“Humph! If my form is like this, how can I compete with that playboy Xavier!"

"Enough, don't deal with the prince of the Green Land, he owns everything in this land!"

“But he can't take My Lea!”

“Ow, so that's the reason!”

"Yes, of course!"

“Hahaha, so funny, it turns out what people say is true! Love can make people crazy!”

“Humph!”

Drex went to Rucif's room, a room with steps that looked like large, neatly arranged flower petals.

"Wow! Unique architecture! So where's the cupboard?"

Little Drex turned around but he still couldn't find the place Rucif called the cupboard.

“Rucif! Where's the cupboard? I don't see anything here but this round yellow bed!” Drex shouted.

“Just pull the walls of the reddish petals. You'll find lots of fairy clothes there!” he answered.

Drex started walking towards the wall of the room, the place was unique, the walls were piled up in layers and layers.

“Walls like flower petals? The red one! Is this?"

Drex pulled off one petal and with it came the appearance of leafy green fairy cloth, shiny and very neat.

“Rucif! Are all your clothes green?” Drex asked.

“That's everyday wear! We do wear green!” he answered.

"Good grief! Alright! It can't be helped, there's only green here, I  look like a caterpillar!” Drex grumbled, taking the fairy cloth reluctantly.

He put the cloth on his body, in a fashion that Drex thought was stranger than human idol clothes. He stood on the shadowy rock crystal that was in Rucif's room.

“So this is what a fairy mirror looks like? Hmm__I've been handsome since I was a boy!" Drex replied, speaking highly of himself.

Lea, who was curious about what Rucif did to Drex, started knocking on the door.

Knock! Knock!

“Rucif! Can I come in?” called Lea.

“Since when did you knock on the door to my house, Lea? Come in!" Rucif answered.

"Ahahaha, um__ what are you doing?" asked Lea.

“Since when do you care about me, Lea? He's in my room changing his clothes!”

“Change clothes? Does that mean he has transformed into the form of a male Lycan form?”

"Well, that's not wrong! But a little different from the Drex you know! Maybe you'll be a little surprised, Lea," said Rucif.

"Different? What do you mean his face changed?” asked Lea.

"Emm__yup! Very different!" said Rucif.

"Different? Can't I recognize him?”

"You might not recognize him!"

“Oh no, that's bad!”

Lea immediately got up and went to Rucif's room. She knocked on Rucif's door.

“Drex! Are you in there? Are you okay?” asked Lea.

"Yes Lea, I'm fine!"

“Can I see you?”

“Ah, not yet, Lea! I'm not confident with my current appearance!"

"Never mind, Drex, I'll understand! I'm not a woman who cares too much about appearance!”

"But I care!" Drex answered.

Feeling that her persuasion was useless, Lea finally forced her way into Rucif's room because she wanted to know how Drex was doing.

“Drex! I don't care what you look like! I will___! Oh my__you!” Lea saw that Drex looked like an eight-year-old boy, his eyes were bright yellow, with reddish brown hair.

“As expected don't look at me now! You'll be surprised!" said Drex feeling awry.

“You're so__ cute! My Drexy!” said Lea who immediately hugged little Drex excitedly.

“Leah, you're making me breathless! Let me go!" shouted Drex.

“No way, the current you is the cutest form I've ever seen!”

“I don't want to look cute! I want to look handsome in your eyes!" Drex answered.

“You've always been handsome to me, Drex! You just need to wait, then you will return to your original form!" Leah answered.

"Hopefully so!"

“Let Rucif find the right medicine for you! Meanwhile, I'll take you for a stroll!” invited Lea.

"Okay! But do I look handsome?” Drex asked.

"Since when did your high self-confidence disappear?" asked Lea.

“Since I can't communicate with Drexy, I can't summon him inside my body!” Drex said.

"Hmm, forget it! Come on, come with me! I'll take you on a trip to Green Land!"

"Seems fun! Come on!"

“Rucif we go first! "Lea said while holding Drex.

“Yeah, have fun, you guys!”

“Hihihi! Drex, let's fly!” Lea shouted as soon as she came out of the tree house.

"Wow, it looks like Lea is very happy to meet Drex again!" Rucif muttered smiling.

The handsome forest elf man is still busy making potions, it seems he needs to increase the number of magic plants so that they are more concentrated and can restore Drex's strength Rucif began to mix magic plants one by one, creating a new formula very seriously. Suddenly he smelled quite a delicious smell.

“This smells so good? But, what is this smell? Like the smell of food?” Rucif muttered, sniffing following the scent.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door of Rucif's house, he opened it and saw that it was Princess Kiora there.

“Ah, Princess? Why are you coming to my house? Then what is this?” asked Rucif who looked surprised.

“Drex! Where's Drex?” she asked.

"Drex was out with Lea, he just left," explained Rucif.

“Ah, so that's how__,”

"Yes, that is so! What food did these servants bring for Drex?” Rucif asked

"Yes, you're right! "He likes this food," explained Kiora.

"You can arrange it inside Princess, come in!" asked Rucif.

"Do you mind?" Kiora asked.

"Yes, no problem! Tell the guards to put it there."

Rucif also came in and sat back down in his original place and started concocting more magic potions for Drex. The man looked even more handsome when he was serious. While the guards were arranging the food, Kiora had the opportunity to start stealing glances.

She blushed to see the green-haired man mixing the medicine.

"After you have finished arranging the food, please close the door when you go out," said Rucif to the guard.

"Alright," answered the guard.

In contrast to her bodyguard's attitude, who immediately left, Kiora didn't even want to move from her seat.

"What's wrong Princess Kiora?" Rucif asked.

"Ah no! I was just waiting for Drex!” the answer was evasive.

“I think he'll be around for a while. Is there anything I need to say?" Rucif asked.

"Emm__ I just want to be here waiting for him! I don't want to go home if I haven't seen Drex!” she answered.

"Oh, I see. "It's up to you. You can wait there while relaxing," answered Rucif.

Kiora's plan was successful, she had the opportunity to be close to Rucif that day, some of her guards returned to the palace, and others waited outside the house.

"What are you doing? You look serious?” asked Kiora.

“Making medicinal potions, more precisely medicine with magic!” Rucif explained.

"You are forest elves are good at making medicine, what did you make this time?" Kiora asked.

“Just a potion for Drex! He lost a lot of energy when he came here."

“Is that normal?” Kiora asked.

“Yes, that's normal! Some elves can even lose their memories when moving around the world. It's pretty good that Drex still remembers everything!”

“Ah, I see. So when you have free time you will make potions like this?”

“Hoho, no! When I'm free I'll have fun."

“What kind of fun?”

“Go on an adventure to another dimension, take magic items there, move them here, and research their properties!” Rucif explained.

“Wow, you can make use of your free time. "It's very different from me who can only sleep," said Kiora frankly.

“Hoho, can't a princess go for a walk? Adventurous like me?” asked Rucif.

"That's fine, but no one invited me," said Kiora.

"You want to come with me?" Rucif asked spontaneously.

Kiora's brown eyes were sparkling, it was clear that she was happy with Rucif's invitation. But she felt it was appropriate as a princess to immediately accept a man's invitation.

"Emm__I'll think about it," Kiora answered.

“Yes, you can think about it, just tell me that Princess wants to go on an adventure! I will find the closest and most pleasant dimension.

"Yeah, that sounds interesting,"

“Hoho,”

Rucif stopped talking, and he began to make magic in his hands, channeling his power into the potions that had been prepared in such a way. Meanwhile, Kiora was thinking about what topic to discuss with Rucif. She didn't even know what his hobbies were.

"Aren't you bored?" Rucif asked.

"No,"

"I think Drex and Lea will be around for a while, they're dating!" said Rucif.

"Dating? Is that true? Are they lovers?"

"Yes, that is so! Their relationship is quite complicated, but after Drex gets here, I think their relationship can continue,"

"Hmm, I see,"

“Yes, you will be very bored if you wait here. "After all, Drex has changed his form, I don't think Putri needs to bother bringing him food yesterday," answered Rucif.

“Ah, I see. "I think I have to go home now," Kiora answered, looking disappointed.

The woman walked away disappointed, her beautiful face looked gloomy.

"Um, Princess Kiora!"

"Yes?"

"You don't need to bring Drex food, but if you want to come here my door is wide open, one more thing I like forest mushroom soup!" said Rucif with a smile.

"What? Forest Mushroom Soup? Ah__fine, I'll bring it next time!” said Kiora.

“Yeah, stop by here often. I like having company to chat with!” said Rucif once again giving the opportunity.

"Okay, I'll be here tomorrow! Forest mushroom soup, right? "I'll tell the guards to look for mushrooms today,"

"Hoho, no need to look hard to find east of my house, I grow quite a lot of them, bring some for you too, I think you also need mushrooms to make your headaches lessen," said Rucif.

"How do you know I often get dizzy?" asked Kiora wondering.

“I often see you touching your head at every palace event. I've been worried about that habit for a long time, I thought it must be tiring being a princess. So, come play here more often!” asked Rucif.

“Haha, you are very understanding Rucif! I'll be here tomorrow,"

"I'll wait," he answered.

Kiora came home, and this time her face was much happier than before. Her efforts to approach Rucif seemed to be easier. Along the way out he was smiling very sweetly.

“Where are the mushrooms? Ah there!”

The garden that Rucif maintains turns out to be very unique, there are lots of strange plants that he seems to have collected from many worlds. Kiora picked the mushrooms herself, strangely enough, as soon as she entered the garden area, the flowers there bloomed.

“Who are you beautiful, woman? Are you Rucif's girlfriend?" asked the flower.

“I'm just his friend picking mushrooms for soup!” Kiora replied blushing.

"How strange, Rucif won't let strangers into his garden!" said the flower.

“I'm his friend, not a stranger!” Kiora answered.

"So you're his girlfriend?"

"I'm his friend!"

"Um, so you're a foreigner?"

"No! I'm his friend, not a stranger!”

“Ah, you are Rucif's lover! I know it!" said the strange flower.

“Hahaha, it's up to you flower. I'll look for mushrooms first!”

“Rucif's lover is coming!” the flower shouted, instead it blew its flower trumpet.

The other flowers immediately bloomed as soon as they saw Kiora.

“Rucif's girlfriend?” asked another plant.

"Yes, he said that girl was his love Rucif!"

"Very beautiful!"

"Beautiful Girl! Please accept this flower honey for you!" said a flower that gave out soft honey pills to Kiora.

"Wow, why are you guys so nice?" Kiora looked confused and embarrassed. She was worried that the sound of the flowers would make Rucif hear it and see how red Kiora's face was now.

As she expected, Rucif who was in his forest house immediately flew out. The handsome man immediately approached Kiora who was surrounded by flower plants and was excitedly giving gifts.

“Oh, my friends! Why did you attack her?” asked Rucif.

“We want to welcome your darling! She is so beautiful, you two are a perfect match!” said the flowers.

“She is the princess of this land, of course, she is beautiful!” said Rucif.

“Rucif said she was beautiful! Rucif loves her too! Yay! Rucif loves her!” shouted the flowers.

Rucif just laughed at the behavior of his flowers, who sometimes liked to overdo it.

"Princess, let you calm them down! Please take the mushrooms you like!"

"Okay!"

Avoiding embarrassment, the girl immediately focused on her goal of entering the Rucif vegetable garden. Harvested enough mushrooms then she walked towards the exit.

“Rucif's lover is about to go home! Sprinkle her with flowers!”

Tit! Tot! Tet!

The trumpet flower began to sing and bursts of colorful flower crowns flew through the air. Kiora's face was shocked to see a funny expression that made Rucif laugh.

“Hihihi, you must be having a hard time dealing with them. Come here!” Rucif stretched out his hand to take Princess Kiora's hand, who was increasingly embarrassed.

"I must go home! Thank you for the mushrooms!” she said while lowering her face.

“Wait a minute, here!”

Rucif handed me a bunch of rainbow flowers, the flower crown was beautiful and colored like a rainbow.

“This is for you, accept it! Don't forget to come here again tomorrow! I'm waiting for you!" said Rucif smiling.

“They're dating!” shouted one of the flowers, causing a commotion among the other flowers.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!”

Like cheerleaders, the flowers cheer and support their relationship.

"Hey guys! You guys are starting to overdo it! Just go back to your places and sleep!” said Rucif.

"Hihihi," Kiora started laughing.

She felt that Rucif's embarrassed expression was also quite cute.

"I'm going home, okay?"

"Okay! Thank You! Erm__,"

"What?"

"Suppose you don't mind, if you come here tomorrow, would you like me to take you on a trip to the mountains!"

"What?"

“Ahaha, that is if you don't mind! "I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I thought a princess wouldn't want to hang out with a forest elf like me," said Rucif.

"I want to! I'll be ready tomorrow! We're going to the mountains!" said Kiora enthusiastic.
