The smells of burnt candle and oil began to disturb my nose as I lined up top list my weapon. I had wondered why one should register their weapon, what was so special and important that someone like me would also be needed to register my own tools ? wasn’t it supposed to be private kinda things ?
The world seems doesn't care about my question though as the line getting shorter and my turns come.
“ Next.”
“ Yes, here you go.” I handed the daggers that I got from Juan towards the weapon administer guy. He then placed my dagger on some sort of soft small pad, after a few sec passed he reversed my dagger and write something on his pile of faded yellow papers before turning it back to me.
“ Just one ?.”
“ Nah, here is the other one.” I gave him my stick, which he did not easily accepted unlike my dagger before and accompanied with a sour look, he then asked my intention.
“ Are you mocking me ?”
“ By all means no Sir, I really want to register this one too.”
He didn’t answer me though and just continue his works as usual, with a blank look again. I wonder where was his anger from before ? Was it normal for soldier in an army to behave like this ? I shrugged my shoulder and proceed to leave the line as my business there was already finished.
I walked back towards the cooks tent intending to look up for a clue that would help me find the chief name but my footsteps was stopped by someone as whoever he was, caught and held my shoulder back.
“ Wait !”
“ Yes ?” I turned my body back only to find a short boy wearing the Ra kingdom armor. It was kinda slugish on him as the armor was on the big side compared to his actual body I guess. His hair bangs tough makes it harder for me to see his face. His voice also seemed funny, something on the higher end notes I guess ?
“ Ah …. nothing.”
“ Well okay then …” I then turned my body back again towards the camp but he stopped me again.
“ Wait !!”
“ What is it ?” I raised my eyebrow hinting my displeasure with it since I was stopped again, he better get his words straight now. Also it bugs me that he could stop me easily. I am bigger than him … was it some sort of skills Juan often told me about ? Nah ...I dismissed the thought easily though since, what I can say. He looks and stand on the weak side when compared to the soldier I had seen around here.
“ Uhmm …”
“ Oh come on, if you takes any longer I will leave you here, I got something important to do !”
“ Wait wait wait.”
“ I am waiting now, would you please elaborate ?”
“ Uhmm … I .. need … your ....”
“ Help ? Yes, but sorry please find someone else. I can’t help you, I got something important to do !” I turned my body backs again wanting to leave this short boy alone. I am usually nice to people but I can’t stand his stutters. I also got my own task, can’t wait all day and help him.
“ Please listen to me, I will help you whatever you are doing afterwards.”
“ Nope, told you bye !”
Who needs him ? I need a name and He shouldn’t know by his looks that was strengthened by the big and weary armor. The cook had made finding his name a task, so it shouldn’t be easy. I think I might need to find some experienced cooks helpers and befriend them before finding the chief name.
Yes, work work works .. I am but an underling after all, a nobody that got lucky joining this expedition which should be Impossible with my profession. Not even a Calmar Spear Hunter that I already painfully worked my self without giving up, even though I couldn’t really throw a spear and taint myself black as I tried to jab the Calmar by throwing my body towards them which I had to admit impossible, since I would be slowed down upon hitting the water surface, far far slower compared to a thrown spear that can easily slipped through it and hit the target.
Ah bad .. I was standing still and the boy was just looking at me, doing nothing. Ok, times to go. I had said so a while ago and I was still here...
“ It’s the general !”

That word perked my interest though, the general ? something about that old man ?
“ Speak little boy.” I felt a little bit funny my self as I let the words boy escape my mouths. I was called that a lot today by 3 different people and 2 of them were someone that I had never met before. It actually felt annoying. Well let’s just assume it was for his rude behavior from before.
“ litt-little boy ? boy !” He now stutters with his own words ...what is wrong with him !
“ Rude ! where is your eyes !”
“ Opps, my bad I didn’t wear it ! WRONG, what is with you !”
“ AH … I forgot ..”
“ Fine, forget about it, BYE !”
“ No NO NO NOO Wait !”
“ What ? Say it fast.”
“ U No bout genpa ?”
Ugh this one is almost as bad as Juan … why is there no one normals around here that I can speak with easily ?
“ Again, fast and clear.”
“ Do you know my Grandpa ?”
“....”
Grandpa ? How should I know. It was the first time I met him and he ask me about his grandpa ? I couldn’t even see this boy face as it was hidden with his hair bangs, so how should I know about his grandpa ? even resemblance become impossible…voice recognition is it ? fucngggg…. … saveeeee !!!
Wait Grandpa ? I had meet someone old today and he turned out to be the general of this expedition. This boy asked me about his grandpa right and he told me something about general before … was it his grandpa ? Oh this is bad, I need to change my attitude, otherwise I might accidentally anger the gramps.
“ Mayhaps , you mean the general ? His lordship Galahand ?”
“ Huh ….”
Now this boy stare blankly at me ...which make me more confused what is happening here !
Sweat began to fall down from my head. Was it my mistakes ? It was someone else entirely ?
I began to creep back slowly, wanting to run from this embarrassing situation.
“ Sorry got the wrong person ...bye !”
I wanted to run but again I was stopped just in the nick of time by his fingers. What kind of skills does he have to be able to stop me from running easily.
“ No ...you are right ! I was just surprised you know his family name.”
“ Oh … then what is it do you need from me, Young lord ?” I changed my tone again back to a humble one. I think I was already infected by Juan multiple craziness.
“ Ssstt … don't call me that here.”
“ pardon me ?”
“ We will talk again later, find me in the academics camps after you are done with your task.”
“ Boy ?”
[ SLAP ]
“ You are a rude one you know !” He then stomped his way out ...and I was left dumbfounded here while people began to look at my direction. THey began to chat around and ask what happened however I could also make out some sounds that disregarding my manliness ! Yes they were wondering why a soldier slapped an adventurer like me just like when lovers quarrels !. BOY X BOY Urghhh ….
And worse of it, he still doesn’t gave me the chance to ask my question about the cooks name… and he stomped his way out just like a girl .. those bangs, short structure body … Wait, a girl ? so that’s why she was mad at me.
But why was she in disguise then ? It also happen to favor her since the chatters get worse and worse now. What is a little girl like that doing in here ? She could be kidnapped and no one will knows or bother ..oh wait she got a monstrous strength that capable of stopping someone running from running easily .. but I was slapped … and I am still alive ?
I should have flew back a bit right ? or maybe even went as far as hitting and breaking one of the boxes nearby. She held me with fingers and I couldn’t run nor budge ! I could have easily died by that slaps ? Oh wait .. was she ordered by her grandpa to take revenge on me, making my reputation crumble right away now ?
Huh ...why is my minds full of random question ...arghhh dam* … save … this is very tiring ..what had she done ? She owes me an answer now, my mind getting absurd. She told me to find her later but meh who cares, I will just go to the camps now and find her ! She better be clear about her reason, she had called me and disturb my minds ...which getting more random and random now, since a lot of image began to scramble in it, just like when I was drunk once…
“ TO THE CAMP !!!” I shouted and everybody just think I was crazy since I got dumped by a short soldier. Well I don’t care … I need to find her now, I need my answer and my calmness back.
