Ch 13: Back in The Capital

Start from the beginning
                                    

Filo reached in the pocket of her dress then brought out a purple stone and handed it to Naofumi.

Naofumi: what's this?

Filo: It's a crystal Filo found inside the dragon. After Filo had eaten, I ate my way out when Filo accidentally ate it

Raphtali: Filo, don't tell me you threw it up?!

Ryuji: that's nasty!

Naofumi: ughh!

Grossed by the question, Naofumi held the crystal in his fingers.

Filo: of course not! Filo wanted to give one to master so Filo saved some of it! 

Naofumi fed the crystal to his shield but couldn't unlock a new shield due to his level.

Ryuji: Did you get a new shield?

Naofumi shook his head.

Naofumi: no. It seems my level isn't high enough for me to access. What about you, did you unlock any new monsters?

Ryuji: I did unlock a bunch of dragons and some skills, but it's the same with you and I couldn't use them yet

Naofumi: I guess this means we need to level up even more. Well since its late its time for us to sleep

Filo: yes sir!

Ryuji: see you guys in the morning

Raphtalia: good nightt

Everyone then went to their rooms to turn in for the night.

Days went by and the party was either busy clearing monsters to protect the village or treating the sick.

One day as the party was walking home, Filo suddenly looked in the distance.

Ryuji: Filo what's wrong?

Filo: something is going on over there

Filo in her filolial form points into the distance.

When the party went to investigate it, they saw a young girl surrounded by a flock of filolials.

Naofumi: a girl?

The filolials noticed the party approaching and ran.

Filo: *drooling* those birds look yummy. If we hurry we can hunt them down

Naofumi, Ryuji, and Raphtalia looked at Filo with surprise and disgust.

Raphtalia: Filo what do you mean by yummy!?

Naofumi: those are filolials like you

Filo: like me?

Ryuji: I guess filolials are cannibals

The girl who was left behind by the filolials stood up and looked at Filo with amazement.
