Cross returned to the Hitoshi Village. Everyone was awaiting his return. Akashiri looked at him and sighed, before sheathing his sword. " You know you didn''t have to kill him." Cross s.u.c.k.e.d his teeth, I didn''t- Before Akashiri could finish his sentence, he turned around and said: Let''s go, everyone." I had some hot chicken soup prepared." Let''s eat it before it gets cold." Everyone except Sarah, Jesse, and Elanor left to see how Cross was doing. Sarah didn''t want to admit it, but She was starting to like Elanor as a friend. " She went to ask Cross a question." Hey, I forgot to ask you Cross, where is John, he didn''t get on the airship with us." Is he okay?" Cross sighed and said: That''s a long story." How about I tell you later?" I''m sure you''re hungry like everyone else, so let''s eat first." Sarah smiled. Let''s go Elanor." As Sarah turned her back and walked away with Jesse, Elanor looked at Cross and winked at him. Cross slightly smiled and followed everyone to the dining hall. What Cross didn''t know was that The Cleanup Guy had a tracking device lodged behind his ribs. This meant The Industrial Elven Empire knew his location.
