Chapter 38 · Fast walk

I stood there shocked. Was everyone a weirdo or was I just attracting them? My life had gone from empty to I don't even know anymore.

"Ow sis, you need to learn to share or you will never get a good husband," the guy currently hold my hand complained as the girl, I guess sister, hit him over the head.

As he said this he stood up, still holding my hand. With a wink, he said to me "Anyway when do I get to meet such a wonder as you."

I didn't know what was going on. Here stood a somewhat good looking guy I guess trying to flirt with me while his kid sister was pummelling his back. The fuck is this, a bad manga?

Thankful I save. With the sound of quick footsteps, my guide reappear with a red face and a horrified expression.

"Miss, oh thank goodness I found you. I'm so sorry for my lack of... oh lady Edlin and sir Edlin," he started before taking in the scene before him then looking back to my dumbfounded face "yes.. as I was saying miss we really must rush before you miss your meeting if you would excuse us."

He, my guide, quickly pulled me away from the odd pare and the now very heavy crowd that all seemed to be slowly peeled off to look around the halls.

He soon leads me down a few hallways until I could see what looked to be almost a shopping centre with coffee shops and I think even a hairdresser store.

"How is this place so big?" I asked looking about. It was like a mini city inside of just one building.

"Oh yes, the owner uses domain magic or so I have been told. If we head down this way then we should make it the bank," my guide replied walking at a raver fast pace.

I hurry to keep up but slowly I felt my stamina start to drain and my muscle locking up. Why was he walking so fast? Did he have to go somewhere maybe?

I look over at him to see he too was slightly panting and seemed to be taking an odd glance behind us every few steps.

"Why are we 'phff' going so fast," I manage to muster. I really need to start working out.

"Well miss to be truthful and please don't tell anyone I said this but I have heard the odd word or two from my co-workers. They have said that those two you were talking too, to put it lightly 'are too much to handle' and I don't mean to disrespect them but I like my job here," he quickly commented.

I tried to reply but I couldn't with how much my lungs were hurting. I want to ask what was so bad about them but I guess if they're anything like how they were to me I could kind of see his point.

With us going at a slight run, ok more of a fast walk but it felt like a run to me, we quickly arrived at the bank. I could thank the massive 'bank of the hammer' sign hanging above the glass doors to work that out. Unlike most of the building, this place seemed to have a much more modern setup with a blue carpet and plastic chairs.

A small queue was standing in front of a counter and slowly it was shuffling forwards. I quickly tried to slip into the end of the queue as quietly as I could. I didn't want to stand out again or who knows what weirdo I will find or rather find me.
