A bad time is a bad time:
After staying for a while in that Alleyway, I felt a bit better and the 'burning pain in my stomach' that I suddenly felt started to fade away slowly. So to not delay any further I told Mei that we should go to not delay stuff much.
“Eh? Really? Aren't you like tired or something?”
“... What are you talking about? You have something you wanna say to me?”
“Eh, Nah I don't dare Jinx Our travel now”
Mei gave me A weird look that made feel worried for a second and relieved the second she decided to not talk anymore, But a second after she did anyway
“But, My guts kinda tells me, Dadadadan ”
I jumped at Mei to shut her mouth up, To stop any Bad Omens coming towards us.
The last few days weren't really that good, And I am tired as Heck, I lack a good amount of sleep because of the Two Idiots that was following US, If things get any worse or more complicated than what it is now I fear I may end up doing something Dumb.
...
..
Mei just Bite my Fingers on reflex, It felt like; when you are in the dead of winter your hands are as cold as it can be, And A random dog bites you not in a playful way at all.
Basically it hurt like Hell, I ended up rolling on the ground While Mei Snickered and apologized playfully about her reflex...
..
At that moment some Dark thoughts was going in my head, And it only got Darker
When Mei continued talking
“I think things won't be easy, But Eh, it can't be that Bad now can it?”
I don't know if she was trying to annoy me or cheer me up, But I know that NOW I need to keep my guard up, Which means more stress and more stress means more and worse stomach ache.
...
..
After a Lot of breaths going into my fingers Mei decided to Come and Heal me up.
She has some good abilities and she ain't really weak, Her healing is quite the good one and came in handy when we ran into few monsters when we were traveling to get to this town, And her combat capabilities Even without using her Abilities and in hand to hand combat isn't really bad, I sure took a beating in that ‘Training’ She suggested.
Well at least to someone like her Who got all her powers sealed up and stuff She's still good.
And that got me asking;
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Why does the good stuff always go towards the most annoying people?
Like those bastards that probably deserve to be 6 feets underground and yet they are all rich and pampered Living life to the fullest while Having 0 personality, A heart Full of Shit, And manners that truly befitting of those who should be 6 Feets underground.
Yet you see the best good hearted person you know struggles to eat sometimes whether it is because of rent, Or it is because the overwork low paying job he unfortunately has to keep going to and doing… is this God test for Us?
Is God still testing me now?
Yeah it could be but..
..
Why can't I replace her for some Good ability?
Like some chick Magnet ability MC's Have? God Can I make a request?
Please God, I promise to be Good.
...
..
We went to the adventurer guild, My fingers bright red almost bleeding, And Mei have a bump on her head. For a second ‘Reflex’ She did after healing me the first time.
…
..
We both smiled as we Saw the sign of the guild, How big and neat everything looked, It felt like the real deal we Finally can start!
We probably looked like some weird country pumpkins or something, But I couldn't give a dam.
The guild is one of those that do two things at the same time, Bar service and guild Service, Basically Double down On their business.
Men and Women wearing 'Adventuring' clothes from Armors To Mage like dresses, The atmosphere was lively inside, Some dined and some gathered with Their party members Discussing their next Moves, Some laughed and some had serious expressions on their faces, As Mei and I walked most of their Attention shifted towards us, New faces are to pay attention to I guess.
Even if they didn't have any ill intentions, They still looked at us with some serious faces, I wonder if something happened before?
..
Anyway we walked inside, Met with some waitresses that told us which office to go too, Mei was kinda in Defense slash offensive mode from all the stares that everyone was giving us, So I end up dragging her with me after she refused to answer my calls (She kept Eyeing out everyone the whole way thru,
She was basically ready to go to war right 'There and then', So I did what I did to stop her from destroying our lives that didn't even start yet, Like a gentleman keeping his Aggressive looking dog on leash I saved everyone day)
We walked towards the counters, There were five counters Three were female workers and two were male workers,
For the looks The female ones was giving me, I decided to go for the male one,
Being outside all that long will show signs, But Those three seemed Really worried, I know I am no Female magnet but The heck? Do they have to treat guys that aren't that good looking or dressing like this?
I mean I think I am no 10 But I am average at worse.
They even Called to Mei to come to them, To Which Mei replied by simply ignoring them and Telling me To get things Rolling cause things doesn't seem that good.
So I did, The guy I went towards seemed young and nice, And Being a guy he didn't really judge me much for how I look or at least that what he showed with him being nice enough to smile,
Although I wished A cute receptionist to treat me like this And be my first time in Guild business... I can't really complain much.
“H... Hello, how can I help you today?”
He seemed a bit nervous
“I am here to register as an adventurer So if you could give me the things I need to sign and stuff you will do me a huge favor”
I tried to smile in a friendly way
“Ah.. yea..yeah, Actually my shift is about to finish, And I think my college who's coming to take my place will do a better job”
He said and suddenly left, Few minutes later, a 30 Something woman with glasses came to replace him. She was a beauty, And despite the age difference I wouldn't mind.. You know... But the problem was; She looked pissed, Like really Really Pissed, What's her problem?
Her boyfriend cheated on her or something?
“So what can I do for you today?”
“Ah, Well I already told your coworker, That I, We came here to register as adventurers, So if you be kind and give us The Stuff To do... Well the Stuff and register I would be thankful”
I tried not to tick her off, Being nice while moving my head and body accordingly
She looked at me with serious dead eyes and said to me straight to the face
“Yeah, No, No can do”
