Chapter 7: Letters and a bike

I woke up bright and early the next day and busted into Rin’s room. I swiftly dragged him out of the bed and down the stairs and he was scratching and clawing my hands trying to get free. I threw him on the ground, and he glared at me. I put on a big smile as he lunged my way trying to attack me.

“Morning Rin, time for us to make money.” He then punched me.

“Must you be so violent in the morning.” I said wiping the blood from my mouth, then wiping a fake tear away.

“You’re one to talk. Couldn’t you wake me up in a more peaceful way.” He said before grabbing me and flipping me over.

“I’m sure you wouldn’t have got up.” I said grabbing his leg and flipping him over. We were about to get into an all-out war before Maxwell grabbed us both by the collar.

“It’s six in the morning, why are you two fighting so early?” he complained, bringing both of us to his eye level. Which is very high in the air.

“Blame Keith.”

“Blame Rin.” he then dropped us on the floor before calling us children and trudging away, probably tired. I got up and put on my coat, Rin copying me and exited the house.

We reached the quest place and opened the door. I looked to see Rin’s reaction to the place, he looked almost as confused as I did.

“You’ll get used to it.” I mumbled.

I then went up to the chicken girl.

“Hey, how many missing item’s quests are there today?” I asked.

She went to the back and came back with the bulletin.

“About twelve, sir.”

“I would like to take all of them.” I then handed her both me and Rin’s badge.

“All of them.” She looked astonished before taking the badges for me. She scanned our badges on what looked like an old timey computer, then passed me many envelopes before passing me our badges back.

“I have you two in the database for all the location quests. You can start the quest now. It doesn’t matter how long you take because there isn’t any time limit. But you can’t accept any more quests until you're done with these.” I nodded and stepped outside.

“You have a plan for solving all these quests.”

“Yes, I do.” I shoved all the letters in Rin’s hand. He looked confused then furious.

“You are not leaving all of this to me!” he shouted in anger.

“Yes, I am. We both know you’re the best at finding needles in a haystack, literally! Remember the time you found the golden needle of Alphonse in hay, after I dropped it in by accident.”

“Accident! I thought it was on purpose. And plus, I never agreed to taking this much request.”

“Relax, we can solve it whenever we want.”

“Besides all these silver equals five gold coins.”

He rolled his eyes.

“We haven’t been here that long, and you already memorised the currency of this place. What else should I expect from a petty thief.” He then huffed before opening one of the letters.

“Fine, just because I love money just as much as the next guy. But you’re doing all the heavy work.”

We made our way to what Rin assumes is the first location. Finding all the items was a breeze for Rin. Now where on the last letter.The letter said, “I last left my bike at the bakery and can’t find it. Can someone help, here’s a picture.”

We walked to the bakery, and sure enough there wasn’t any bike. Rin then walked behind the bakery and came back with a silver and blue bike. “That simpleton didn’t check around the building. How can you park something somewhere without remembering where.”

I scratched the back of my head as I remembered the time, I parked my jet on the wrong building. I forgot where it was.

“Yeah, only fools can do that.” We headed back to Quest or Not. We finished all the quests and I carried everything we found.

“Rin can’t you take one, these are heavy.” I complained.

“That’s not what we agreed on, now is it?” He said as he put the letters in his pocket. We entered Quest or not and handed all the items. “You t-two actually finished it all in one day.” She handed Rin the money and led me in the back to put away the things we found.

“Excuse m-me sir. But can you please return the bicycle to the owner, she just left, and she looks like this.” She handed me a picture and I took it. The girl in the picture had white hair and tan skin. She looked like she was dressed like a mercenary. A vicious smirk laid on her face.

“She’s the leader of the Tranquil Guild, she’s a very impressive fighter.” I nodded and went back to the front. I met Rin staring at the wall. I walked next to him, bike in hands. He looked at me then back to the painting. His eyes widened.

“That’s why he looks familiar, that’s you. Wow.” he said, placing a hand over his mouth, he looked shocked. I knocked him behind his head.

“This is why you never caught me while disguised.”

I grumbled. He probably suffers from face blindness or stupidity, I mumbled. I left the building to try and catch up to the girl. I spotted her about to cross the street, she was wearing white jean shorts and a black cropped turtleneck with no sleeves. She had a thin waist and a big bust. To be honest she got me blushing. Time to use my special charm. I walked towards her and gave my most charming smile.

“Hey there.” I said in my most attractive voice. She looked at me then her bike. She then swiftly and quickly pulled out a knife and placed it to my neck.

“Did you steal my bike?” She said intimidatingly

“N-No.” my voice squeaks.

“Ahem No, I accepted a quest to find your bike. I just came to return it.” I said trying to appear brave. She put the knife away and said thankyou, she then crossed the street. I turned around and spotted Rin who was laughing his ass off at me.

“Shut up.” I grumbled passing him.

We went back inside Maxwell’s house. We hung up our coats and sat on the couch and began splitting the money evenly.

Putting my coins in my coin pouch, the door behind us busted open. I turned my head a little and saw the girl. She looked annoyed and pissed off.

“Bro you won’t believe the day I had. I lost my bike, and some Bastard tried flirting with me.”

“Shut up, I have guest over.” he screamed from the kitchen. She took a bite out of a bagel.

“Really, who’s the muscle freaks you invited over this time.” She shouted a smug look on her face as she. She turned her head to the couch and spotted me and Rin sitting there staring at her.

“Ghost?” she said shocked as the bagel left her hand.
