Bab 4: Raising Flags
Jeeeezzz
why it is so tiring, on top of that, it was only my first day. But why was my life is so complicated? is it because of this?
"Thank you mister Soldier~"
Says by the girl I helped and another Girl in my other side, Im not with Raljan this time for one reason. And now, I am here infront of a shop with the sigil of Vial and a drop of water below. yup, without a doubt, Im here at [Granny Chayu Store], again.
Now lets recall what really happened. It was at the time when we were already at Central Area.
"Damn I will begin to sleep! at last after all this Tragedy!" Raljan said so who was Immediately run towards and enter to our Main Barracks 500 meters away. That Barracks was originally a vacant lot and because us, new Soldiers who just graduated doesn't have a camp area so far, and additional to our guests who came, this became our temporary camp. Or to those who doesn't have any home or away from Central Plaza
"Sigh! right it was very tiring" I murmured.
..Before we came here, we dispatched some hotheaded Adventurers and Otherworlders at Westgate. they gave me a real headache, really.
And Before I even step forward to follow Raljan, a girl came from my side and asks "Mister soldier, will you please help me for something? can you recommend a Potion Shop with low price? my budget was too short— pretty please?", it gave me goosbumps.
I thought it was Lancer teasing me but was actually a girl with deep black hair. I double checked if she isn't Lancer. but damn it, Why am I confused? their height, hair color, eye color. they arent alike at all. am I already this exhausted? Whew, such a drag. I heavily sigh.
"Mister?" again this girl asks me.
"N...Nothing, come, I'll show you" I want to reject her but something deep in my heart pushed me to help her. whats more, I wanted to tell her only its direction but that Slum area was full of bandits and theives, and Im afraid she can't even protect her life, though Immortal, ——what if something happened to her? no not that—— what about her potion? again, I didnt want to trouble Raljan so I accompanied her alone.
"Ahh Mister, thank you for accepting my selfish request, Im from another world, Laliya, please to be your acquaintance" she smiled while walking alongside me.
"This World, is like another world" she muttered. I overheard her so I asks.
"You came from another world right? what it means to be in that world?"
"our world was peaceful, but this world is full of adventure!" Laliya replied full vigor
"You seek Adventure? why?" I ask in confusion. I applied as a soldier because I didn't want Adventure and only wanted a slow life. But this girl wanted an adventure?
"Because, only in this world I can do, what I can't in that world, and.. I want to search what was missing deep inside my heart, and my intuition is telling me, what I seek is in this World"
"And? what do you think is missing?" I asks again
"Muu~ mister, thats what I wanted to find" she poutly said.
"Hm" I obliviously nodded. are Otherworlders this kind of weird?
"Nee~ mister. how about you tell a story? about your child's life or if you have a childhood friend, for example?"
"hmmm? where are you going?" At the same time, I heard a voice coming from my side.
"Who is this Girl?! why is she clinging at you!?" it was Lancer.
Oh crap. Before I knew it, this Laliya girl clinged into my arm already, I don't even remember when did she so attached to me.
"hm! Mister was ccompanying me towards the potion shop and I wanted to hear some story from him, why?" Laliya said who hardly clinged to me. Dafaq? is what I thought.
"Its only your first day and you already raised Flags? hmp! I'll accompany you Guys! afterall, me and him will go on the same destination!" Lancer walked pass her and grab my shoulder "Right?!" She said so to me, while smiling as I saw her evil face and only response with nod with profusely sweating.
"Y...yes! L....lets go!" I wanted to left them and walked fast but this two grabbed ahold off me and walked slowly instead. f*ck!
We almost there, but this two didn't stopped staring at each other as if they emit a different type of lightning. As we walked, some recognized Lancer but she didn't bother to even look at them, there's also some group of thugs who envied and attacked us but walked out with cracked bone instead. Girls are scary! I thought
"Gal! were here! now let go of his hand or I'll break you everytime you resurrect!" said by Lancer with irritated face. Thereafter, Granny Chiyu exited from her shop and recognized me
"Ohoho is that you boy? I thank you from this Morning" she said as she welcomed us
"I didnt do anything Granny, it was her Lieutenant who do the work there" I said while tapping Lancer shoulder.
"Thanks missy~ that guy Adventurer's Lincensed was revoked thanks to your leuitenant and was banned to come at this City, though cruel Im still thankful of you for helping me" Granny bowed.
'Revoked!? what the Hell? Thats cruel!' is what was running through my mind
"Good, Frey did his Job very well, its alright Granny. We'll take our leave now" Lancer gripped my hand and walked out but.
"By the way, here. Thank you for helping me, please use it wisely" Granny gave us the pouch she was handling and hand them over to us. It was different color of potion, Red for Heal, Blue for Mana, Violet for Stamina and Green for Buffs. atleast 10 to 15 pieces was inside.
"Isnt this too much?" I asks.
"Its alright" she stepped forward and whispered to me, "all of that was transmutated" and straight her body and said "Please, accept that as my Gratitude. The truth is, I was out to auction that thing, but after I saw my saviour, It was better to give that to your greater good instead. I can create more If giving more time. So don't worry and just accept it" She then walked inside her shop without let us saying anything, Laliya followed her and bow to me saying "Thank you mister Soldier~" while staring coldly at Lancer.
*Haaaaa
I sigh heavily, full of relief.
Cheh— Lancer walked off. I followed after her and explain what really happened. Atleast my first exhausted day was finished at last.
