章節 40: Festival
It was a few hours until it would turn dark. As Xavier and Alex walked the streets they bumped into Vivian.
" Xavier, what is it? You know I'm busy selling flowers."
" Ah, sorry mom but I got this."
Xavier showed the tickets to Vivian.
" Where'd you get this?" She asked.
" A guy gave it to me."
" Why would someone just give this to you out of the blue?" Vivian had thought that he stole it.
" I won a cooking contest with some guy."
Vivian was relieved," I thought you."
" Steal It? No, you should know better than anyone I wouldn't do something like that."
Vivian frowned," You're right, sorry."
" It's fine."
" But isn't this the ticket to the Mayor's place, this is for nobles."
" It's an invite ticket for inviting people, they wouldn't mind. After all, dad saves their sorry asses every day."
Vivian pinched," Language!"
" Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I'm sorry."
' Damn! She pinches so hard, harder than any punch I ever receive.' Xavier's face was pink-red after she pinched his cheek.
Alex watched as Xavier held his cheek in pain." I wouldn't want that."
" This only goes to my big dumb son, you don't have to worry."
" Big? Dumb? Since when I was those things?" Xavier was hurt by those words.
" Today!"
' Hey, it was just asses! I wouldn't want to imagine what would happen if I cursed. For god's sake, I have the mind of a twenty-one-year-old man!' Xavier pouted as Alex laughed.
Xavier pinched Alex back," That's how it feels!"
" Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Okay, stop it." Alex retreated with his eyes watery.
Xavier then did the same thing he did to him when Vivian pinched him, he laughed at him.
" I thought it only goes to big dumb son?"
" I know but I can't do anything when my son does it to you. Anyway, let's go shopping for clothes. We've gotta look our best unless we want people to laugh at us."
" Wouldn't they laugh anyway since we're not nobles?"
" They can't laugh otherwise they'll get rid of their best holy knight, my husband."
" That's the same thing I said just now yet I got pinched."
" Oh, shut up and continue walking!"
They had made it at the clothing store, as Xavier stood by the door Vivian pushed him in. And as Alex saw women's underwear, he averted his eyes.
" Oh, come on! Don't be a coward it's just clothing!" Xavier said he pushed Alex to the male section of the store.
As they made it, they saw clothes everywhere. Alex didn't see such well-kept clothes before so he was surprised and it was the opposite for Xavier who had been to multiple clothing shops in his old world which looked way more advanced than this. No, it looked light-years above this clothing store. Xavier then went through shirt to shirt and pants to pants.
' No! No! No!" Xavier didn't like clothing in this world if he could just find something which reminded him of his old world's clothing he'd take it in an instant. As he was going through the clothing, he saw a black suit, it reminded him of one he got for his birthday. It was the only thing he ever got from them which made it a special day for him, he took it up. He then got black pants and he was set. While going through the store he saw Alex still staring at the women's underwear.
He then hit him on the shoulder with his palm like a sword," You'll make us get weird stares!"
" Ouch! I don't know what to wear okay."
" So you want to wear those." Xavier made fun of him.
" Ew! No!"
" So then why are you staring at it. Maybe you're a bit perverse."
" No!"
" Here you got you this." It was a matching suit for the one he just picked it.
Alex smiled as he looked at the suit," Nice! We'll look like badasses once we walk in there wearing this."
" Ahem!" Xavier cleared his throat," Badasses don't look at women's underwear."
" Hey don't even start, you just happened to coincidentally see me looking at it."
" Excuses, excuses!" Xavier said as he went to purchase the clothing.
" Haha! You couldn't buy this, you're a peasant on your own..."
Xavier interrupted the woman as he dropped gold coins on the table," I'll pay for both of them."
She was dumbfounded. As Xavier paid for his and Alex's clothing, he left the shop along with Alex. They then wore the clothing meeting back up with Vivian.
" How do we look?" Xavier asked Vivian.
" Aww! Cute!" Vivian watched at them like babies while they were trying to look like badasses," What do you think about me then?"
Her golden blonde hair was kept in a bun showing off her full beautiful hair and she wore a long white dress that extended to her feet. And she wore pink turn shoes.
" Aww! Cute!" Xavier teased her by repeating the same thing she said to them." Anyway, dad doesn't know about the tickets, doesn't he?"
" He does, in fact, he's waiting there for us," Vivian replied.
" Well we should get going, shouldn't we?"
They then walked the street looking the best they could.
***
As they made it, they were stopped by the guards." Sorry madame but this place is for nobles."
She then showed them the tickets and watched straight through them along with Xavier and Alex.
" Someone must've invited them." The guards looked at them as they walked away.
As they entered through the gates, they were in awe. The Mayor's house was gigantic and packed with nobles. People stood dancing, chatting, and eating. As they entered they saw Feran, he coincidentally wore the same suit as Xavier and Alex.
Alex then ran into him while smiling before hugging him." It's been a while, Alex."
Alex then looked at Feran's suit," Xavier and I are wearing the same suit right now!"
Xavier watched and smirked with his eyes closed,' He really is my new brother, isn't he?'
" Hey, what are you smirking for, come with us?" Alex then waved at Xavier as a way for Xavier to follow them.
Xavier then looked behind at Vivian," Go ahead." She said.
Xavier then rushed off with Feran and Alex. They explored the house, it was almost endless. It stretched on and on with different buildings different floors and so on. Noblemen approached Vivian with interest.
" Today, I just bought a whole new house."
" I could buy this house if I wanted to."
" If you marry me you'll get all my money!"
Vivian got angry as they kept on approaching her but she didn't let it show, she listened to all of them. Feran having noticed rushed back.
" Are you flirting with my..."
He was stopped by Xavier," Dad, mom's got this."
" Sorry, I gotta go for a second, I'll meet you all later when it starts." She looked at them friendly. Her beauty was enough to piece their hearts.
" I'm in love!" One of the noblemen shouted.
As Vivian approached Feran, Xavier, and Alex, she sighed." Noblemen have no class going off about themselves like that if you want to have a conversation with a woman you should compliment her about herself and not you."
Feran smiled," That means I have class, don't I?"
" You were sweet and complimented me a lot of times but you were a bit too dumb and loud back then."
Feran frowned," Why'd you marry a dumb person?" Feran chased after her.
Xavier and Alex shrugged as they looked at each other." Just you and me." They then ran around to continue exploring.
As they ran, Xavier bumped into someone carrying food. Alex then summoned an earth pillar and stopped the food from falling.
" Stupid peasants, watch where you're going!" The butler scowled at them.
" These peasants save your asses every day while you're stuck up in your houses being pampered by your maids," Xavier shouted loudly so that everyone could hear.
Alex then stopped him," Hey, you don't want to ruin the whole thing for mom and dad would you?"
' Mmh! He does talk like my brother, well he is.' Alex grew closer to Xavier and his family almost every day. And now he even called them his parents.
" You're right, brother."
" Brother?"
" Yeah, you just called my mom and dad your parents which makes us brothers."
Alex smiled as his eyes grew watery." You're right, brother." He even said the same thing Xavier said.
" Also, that was nice manipulation of earth magic. If you want I could teach you when my mana core recovers."
" I couldn't possibly.."
" We're brothers, right? And brothers are always there for each other."
Xavier smiled as he closed his eyes," Fine. I'll let you teach me. But I didn't know you could pull off the earth magic?"
" I can do all elements, electro, air, ice, fire, and water."
" That's not surprising. If you're that talented at elemental magic, you probably won't be good at subsets."
Xavier frowned as he closed his eyes," You're right, I'm not even gonna try to do any."
" Oh, it's nighttime. It's starting." Alex said." Let's go."
