The Elf Journey In The Western Fantasy World-Chapter 78: The Flower That Thought Too Loudly

Who could be so heartless as to target even a tiny sapling like him?!

Juson felt both angry and deeply aggrieved.

The system immediately caught on to the thoughts swirling in Juwon’s mind and went speechless.

With a sour tone, it snapped: [ Would you just look up already?! ]

Prompted by the system, Juwon finally lifted his head. The moment he did, he was caught off guard and locked eyes with someone.

Illiya: ...

Even though this person—no, Juwon glanced at the sharp ears of the "person" and corrected himself—even though this elf looked stunningly beautiful, it didn’t change the fact that he was trying to dig him up to make potion!

Wuwuwuwu... Still, if he was being honest, this elf really was very beautiful.

Thinking that, he suddenly felt that maybe... dying wasn’t so bad after all.

System: ...

The system nearly suffered a data glitch from how angry it got reading that thought. But once it calmed down, it suddenly remembered a particular ability of elves.

Its anger instantly vanished, replaced with a faint sense of schadenfreude.

Go ahead and keep fantasizing... Let’s see how embarrassed you get when you realize what’s coming.

Meanwhile, Illiya had a rather complicated expression as he stared at the ice flower in front of him. His gaze turned subtly peculiar.

He honestly didn’t know how to describe what he was feeling—it was all very strange.

He hadn’t missed a single one of the ice flower’s thoughts, and so had clearly heard Juwon praising his good looks, even thinking that dying at his hands wouldn’t be a regret. The overly affectionate declaration echoed loud and clear.

But...

Did this ice flower that had reincarnated in this world really not know anything about elves from its inherited memory?

Did Juwon even know that every single one of his thoughts... could be heard by him?

Juwon remained completely unaware of the subtle shifts in those around him, he still lost in his own mind. To him, this might be his last moment of indulgence before death.

The system had long ago warned him to stay hidden, to avoid being discovered, or else he’d be captured and turned into materials to make a potion. And now, just like the system said, he had been found.

The result was obvious—his short life was coming to an end.

Ah, this short and difficult life of a flower...

Since death was near anyway, there should be no problem with letting his imagination run wild, right? After all, no one could hear his thoughts.

Of course, the system didn’t count as a person.

The system, which was perceiving everything crystal clear: ...

At first, there had been a faint sense of pity, but now the system couldn’t care less about the death of its trash host. In the end, it wasn’t the one who would face social death.

It didn’t even have a physical form; no one could see it. And it wouldn’t be the one living in this world afterward anyway.

Suppressing its fury, the system let out a cold chuckle and quietly activated the recording function.

How could such a wonderful scene be missed? Of course it had to be recorded — preserved perfectly and thoroughly!

Juwo had no clue about the system’s malicious intentions. He didn’t even question why the system had fallen silent, chalking it all up to the presence of strangers nearby.

Once he dismissed that concern, Juwon completely let go and began freely expressing every thought in his heart.

[ Ah, not talking at all feels a little lonely. But hey, don’t be mad, okay? Staying angry ages you faster. Ah, no wait, that’s not quite right. You’re not human after all — I guess I should say the angrier you get, the sooner you’ll be retired. ]

System: You’re dead meat!

Vengefully, it upgraded the recording quality to 4K and continued filming.

[ So elves really do exist on this world... The one standing in front of me is absolutely beautiful! Look at that face, that body ratio! If this were my old world, I’d have asked him to be a model for a photoshoot ages ago. ]

[ Dying beneath a beauty is a romantic death, even as a ghost — this saying is totally true! Beauties are the greatest gift in the world. I want to snuggle with a beauty! ] freewebnøvel.com

[ When the elf beauty picks me up, I’ve got to make sure to use my hands — no, wait — my leaves! Yes, I’ll use my leaves to give him a nice little pat. I want to snuggle! Snuggle! ]

Illiya had not yet withdrawn his connection, so he clearly heard every single thought behind the Ice Flower. He didn’t miss a single one of those obsessive mutterings.

It was one thing to call him good-looking, but now he had even been labeled a "beauty."

Was this what his teacher had once described as a generation gap?

But the gap between him and the Ice Flower was more like a world apart. How could two beings from entirely different worlds possibly share the same thought patterns?

Illiya pressed his lips together, debating whether or not he should still try to remove this Ice Flower. Just as he was about to touch it, the ice flower’s thoughts flashed once more in his mind.

[ I must use my leaves to pat the elf properly. ]

[ Leaves. ]

[ Pat the elf. ]

Illiya: ......

Suddenly, he no longer felt inclined to reach out and touch the Ice Flower. He had an ominous feeling that something very bad would happen if he did.

After considering it for a moment, Illiya decided it would be better to communicate verbally with this particular Ice Flower — which was completely immersed in its own thoughts and entirely unaware of its current situation.

So, he cleared his throat and tried to make his tone sound as calm as possible.

"That... Ice Flower, can you hear what I’m saying?"

Juwon had still been lost in fantasies about snuggling with the beautiful elf when he was suddenly caught off guard by this unexpected question. The subject of the question even seemed to be him — if he hadn’t misheard.
