Chapter 297: Alternate Ending [World 9: R-18 The Beast and the Elf Under a Hut!]
"Merrath! It’s time to eat!" Erolith called his son, who was playing around with a ball made by his father. Merrath stopped kicking the ball. His tiger ears twitched when he heard his mother called him for lunch.
"Yes, Mama!" Merrath rushed to his house, a simple hut near a river that his dad made for them. It was just a simple hut with hays as the roof. But it was enough for them to live together.
Merrath was already seven years old. He already learned how to hunt with his dad while learning how to pick good berries and find good food fit for the elves. Because he was a hybrid elven and beastman, he could eat both and preferred to eat both since he had a big appetite.
"Mama, what is our food today?" Merrath asked while pulling his mother’s shirt.
Erolith just finished putting the food on the wooden table and cleaned his hand. He smiled at his son, Merrath, and pinched his cheek. "You said that you want to eat deer meat and mushroom soup. You can eat it now."
"Yippe!" Merrath sat on the chair and started eating his lunch with a spoon.
Erolith taught Merrath to eat with a spoon, so if in the future, he might go to the human kingdom or other places, he also knew how to act properly.
"Eat slowly. You might choke," Erolith said while giving Merrath a glass of water.
Erolith waited until Merrath finished eating and said thank you. Then Merrath went out again to play. Erolith continued using his magic to sewn Merrath’s shirt. Merrath grew up quickly, and all his clothes starting to get smaller and smaller for him.
In the evening, Urduk finally returned after the whole day of hunting for their stock since winter was coming. Actually, Urduk could just use his magic to call those animals, but he wanted to be a proper dad in a proper family. So he hunted like a regular beastman instead.
Urduk/Maroch grinned when he returned home and raised his prey, "Merrath won’t be starving for the whole winter."
