"congratulations elle" meri smile widely at her beastman friend, Noelle nickname is elle, she shyly nodded her head.

"Congratulations village chief both of your grandchildren are awesome since Noelle is beastman many people will be trying to vouch her to came in there academy as your grandson this talent speak itself"

Village chief back was straight as he laugh at her words he is very happy today, he lightly place a silver coin on the table sister Madea didn't stand on ceremony.

after all the condition of the church she can't afford to loss even a single coin, village chief took his grandson with him.

Noelle happily jump into meri arm as she excitedly tell her about her new discovery "meri do you know in the skull wood I found a real demon skull"

Meri was taken back the skull wood is situated at the east side of the village there's the reason why is called skull wood is that there are bunch trees in the shape of skull but they are not real skull.

Now she is telling her that there's real demon skull in the forest how will she not interested in it.

"Are you sure it's a demon skull not any animals one" Noelle smile mysteriously as she start dragging her along with her.

They went to the skull forest while running but both of them didn't notice the small tail following them from behind them.

Entering the forest they saw many type of trees but there few trees in the shape of skull they had two hollow socket which glow blue in dark cause of the plant called blue ring mushrooms which glow in the dark place.

This mushrooms is pure white in colour with blue ring on the top this mushrooms is sweet in taste and have chewy texture.

Everyone in the village love eating it but they grow completely dark place these skull woods are hollow from inside giving perfect darkness and the environment that mushrooms needed to grow.

But few decades back people don't know about the mushrooms and thought that ghost live in the forest.

It was not untill someone dare to enter the forest that the mushrooms were discovered since then villagers had been picking these mushrooms to eat.

They went deep into the woods after waking for had an hour they reach unexplored area of the woods soon they saw the skull.

Now meri look at the skull she is also sure this skull belong to the demon, pair of horn with sharp fangs and a gaint green crystal between the forehead.

The skull atleast four feet tall and the area it covered is also very large, meri eyes were sparkling with stars.

"Woww this is really demon skull" both Noelle and Midori were startled by the sudden voice behind them, turning around they saw Nero standing there with her innocent looking eyes.

"Nero don't scared us like that, first of all since when you're following us" Midori patted her chest to calm down still fast heartbeat as she scold the little mischievous girl for her action.

"But I was with you from the start you didn't just notice me" Noelle look at nero with surprise she is a beastman her ability to hear and smell isuch better normal human still she didn't notice Nero presence.

"Elle don't focus on her, Nero had almost zero sense of presence if she don't speak no one will be noticeher, if she is even there that why sister Madea always ask her to walk while making noises or else she will giving people heartattack by suddenly speaking"

Noelle nodded her head it's actually not first time Nero had scared someone by suddenly appearing from nowhere.

"But it really surprising that there's a demon skull in this forest" Midori comments Noelle nodded her head at her words, "I was also surprise when I found this skull"

"Are you two sure it's a demon skull not very large magical beast skull" Nero question make both pause yep they don't know know the difference between a demon skull and a magical beast skull.

"It's clearly a demon skull" Noelle insisted on it.

"But aren't demon look like human" Nero pointed at a fact which make Noelle think about it.

"Well actually you have a point Nero" Noelle mumble under breath.

"Why don't we go and look in the town library about it" both look at Midori.

"But you sure it will be written in Books" Noelle didn't think such books will be in library.

"Well it's not hurt trying" Midori shuddered her shoulder, they stay silent few minutes before they start moving.

"Let's go to the town library tomorrow, right now it's getting dark" both nodded at Midori suggestion, then they went back to there own home.

When they went back sister Madea ask them what they did today, the demon skull is secret between three of them so they liethey had gone to look for blue ring mushroom.

Sister Madea didn't continue asking them, as she is busy cooking dinner for them, Nero is the youngest child in the whole shelter the oldest one is fifteen year old girl name Rina.

Being the oldest it's Rina duty to take care of the child, but since she had turn fifteen she had to leave the shelter and start living on her own today sister Madea had cooked egg fried rice.

Since egg is an luxury for them it can be consider farewell dinner for Rina who will be leaving tomorrow.

"So what are you going to do" sister Madea ask Rina her future plan.

"My luck was good few days ago I try to get job in guild and got the receptionist job I will be joining from tomorrow so don't worry about me sister Madea"

Sister Madea sigh in relief she was worried about her since she had gotten a job her life will be less hard then there.

"Sister Rina, me, Nero and elle are going town library tomorrow can we leave together" sister Madea nodded her head.

She looks at Midori, in one month the school is going to start accepting new kids, Midori needed to go school.
