Or so i thought.

The bandits looked down laughing. Was it my mask that looked funny?

"Ha ha ha!" "Looks like you got lost as well little one." one of the bandits mockingly said.

He looks like he lost his mind. Mmm let me try this new technique of mine i developed.

"Huh? What was that?" the bandit mockingly said once again. Man these bandits are boring me.

Well, at least the girl escaped without them knowing. I guess that's a plus.

Looks like it's time for me to run away as well. There's no point in causing more trouble. I turned around; ran without stopping. Oh, they're chasing me! As expected of me.

"O- Oi! Stop running!" the bandit screamed while exhausted.

Eventually i got away from them and took my mask off. Now realizing that girl didn't even try to find me and say thank you. I'm ticked off.

Crash!

I fell to the floor. "Ah.." we both said.

Speaking of her, she's here. I stood up and so did she. "Oh, it's you." she said timidly.

"I'm glad to see you are doing fine." I smiled.

She looked around the same age as I but a little shorter. Dazzling dark black short hair with mesmerizing oceanic eyes. Hmm...quite different.

So when is this awkward silence gonna go? I just remembered. How. How did I manage to forget. I'm hungry. WAIT, no! That's beside the point.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Grrr!! Oh. Her stomach growle- No, more like a roar. "Are you hungry?" her stomach roared again as if it responded back. Well, I'm hungry myself so I don't mind eating. "How about we go find a place to eat." i insisted. No response back, huh? It figures.

----------------------------------------

In the end, we went inside a fast food place and ordered a burger meal. This place does look quite familiar. Oh! And this burger tastes delicious!

"How is it?" i asked.

"Delicious."

"Right, i can eat multiple a day!" and with a smile, i devoured my delicious food in a mere 15 sec- No, 14 seconds and 988 milliseconds.

Sorry, i just felt like i would be lying if i wasn't specific enough. I stood up and threw the trash in the bin. Well, now that we finished eating i should go ho-

"Wait." "Don't Go."

Fuuuuu- It looks like I'm now responsible for her...Damn. What should i do? I'm panicking! No, i got this!

I turned around with a smile and said "Hm? What's up?"

She looked at me with puppy eyes. Ahhh i feel bad now.

"Thank you...for saving me...and the food" she said.

Yes! Mission passed! As they say in Grand The- WA- WAIT!

...I cannot afford to get copyrighted and sued. I mean, look at what happened with Nintendon and the Super Maria Franchise. A guy in the west named Mario got sued...yeah, that didn't end well...

"No problem."

Phewww. With a problem comes a solution. I then said goodbye and walked my way home. I don't want to get caught using magic so carelessly he he.

Though it's not like i could've anyways. So why is she following me? I thought we were parting ways here! She might get tired soon, i'll just keep walking. Unless...this might be a test of endurance. Okay! I won't lose so easily, uhh? Thinking about it, i never asked her name.

I stopped and turned around, "Why are you following me?"

She got spooked a little and still no reply.

I should probably not go home, yet. Hmm i do have a few stops i wanna go first. Hmm, alright, I've decided.

"If you are going to follow me, you better be prepared because i will be going through a pathway that's dangerous." "Bandits will be everywhere."

I'm certain she won't follow me now! No one in their right mind will-

"Okay."

Huh.

Wait. I'm confused. She's not supposed to agree. What the hell do i do now? God, do i really have to protect her? Your mocking me aren't ya! You won't get away with this!
