Seji, Mei, Freda and Reina went into Alec's room.
They opened the door and noticed, Alec was awake.
“You are awake!!!” Seji said in joy, while Mei screamed loudly! Reina and Freda congratulated Mei and Seji.
“I am.” Alec said.
Mei came and sat near Alec, “we missed you so much.”
“Hey Mei, Hey Seji. How’s it going.” Alec said.
“You are awake, so its good now.” Mei said
“Going fine. What were you dreaming that you took so long.” Seji said.
Master opened the door and noticed Alec was awake.
“Hey Alec, good to have you back.” Master said in joy.
“Thanks Master. How's everyone?” Alec asked.
“Well... I’ll tell you whole story later.” Seji said.
“I see, okay. Anyway, Who are these girls?” Alec asked.
“Well, guess.” Seji said.
“One of them is Reina.” Alec replied.
“Bingo! This is Reina.” Seji said pointing out to Reina.
“Hello, Alec. Nice to meet you.” Reina said.
“Hello, Nice to meet you too, I’ve been hearing a lot bout you from Seji.” Alec said.
“uhm.” Reina said.
“She doesn't have memories of past. I’ll explain later.” Seji said.
“*cough*” Freda coughed.
“Oh, Yea She is also my from my world. I’ll tell you whole story later. Get up take bath for now.” Seji said.
“Huh!? At least tell my name dammit. I’m Freda, nice to meet you.” Freda said.
Alec laughed awkwardly and said, “Hello, Freda, I’m sorry about Seji. He's always like that.”
“I can see that.” Freda said.
“Yahh. I go take bath now.” Alec said.
“See you downstairs we wait you! You will have a lot to listen to, so clean your ears!” Seji said.
“Jeez, fine.” Alec said.
“Let’s go down.” Master said and everyone walked out of room.
“Come fast!” Mei said and went down.
“Alec is back!” Seji said to Rune standing down.
“That’s nice, but I think it will take time to recover from Emilia's trauma. Everyone is off to some quests or in their rooms.” Rune said.
“Yea...” Seji said in sorrow.
“Anyway, Where is he?” Rune asked.
“He went to take bath and should be coming down in sometime.” Mei said.
“Ahh, by the way, Reina you didn't get guild Emblem?” Rune asked.
“I didn't.” Reina replied.
“Oh, can you call Serina, Master?” Seji asked.
“It’s okay, no need to bother her I can get it done." Master said and went to the desk.
“Oh, sounds good.” Seji said.
“Go Reina.” Rune said.
“Oh, Okay.” Reina replied and went to the desk where Master was sitting with the stamp in his hand.
“What color Reina?” Master asked.
“Blue will do.” Reina replied.
“Oh, okay.” Master said and dipped the stamp in blue ink.
“Where do you want to get it?” Master asked.
“erm, here will do.” Reina said pointing out to her left arm.
“Okay, upside?” Master asked.
“No, downside.” Reina said while turning her arm upside down.
“Okay.” Master said and stamped her arm which left a blue crest of Elemental.
“Freda you are done right?” Master asked.
“Yea.” Freda replied.
“Where and when did you got crest?” Seji asked.
“On my shoulder.” Freda replied.
“Oh, I see.” Seji said.
Meanwhile, Alec comes out of bath and notices, His eye's color was changed, one was white and other was black, he stopped in front of mirror and asked himself, “Was my eyes color always the same?”
But! Suddenly, his head starts aching, and he held his head! “argh, my head. Never mind eyes, I should go down.” Alec said and went down.
He sees Reina and others standing near the Desk, “Hey Rune, been a while.” He said.
“Hey Alec. Yes, it’s been. Good to see you back.” Rune replied.
“Oh, you are done. Let’s talk for some time now.” Seji said.
“Sure. Tell me what happened and how much I have missed.” Alec said.
“Oh, yea but first I want to know how did Freda got teleported here. She said she will tell once back. Since the way me and Noah got transported were quite different. Reina don’t know anything from past, but you do.” Seji said.
“I see. Okay, let’s sit first.” Freda said, and they went and sat on the chairs.
“Okay, so as I was in that world and woke up like any other day, brushed my teeth and drove to work. And at 5 P.M. or so came back home. As I was unlocking the door, a dog came out of no where running, and tried to bite me! I rushed inside, but he had managed to scratch me. I locked the door and washed that wound. I wanted to take bath and remembered that Anire's last day is today. So, I went to bathroom, sat in bathtub and immediately started playing, and I was only 5-10 minutes earlier before game got shut. I went to meet with friends, talked with them, and we all said goodbye, most of them went offline before game got shut down except a few. The scratch which Dog gave me was still hurting, so, I was thinking to visit doctor after this. The countdown came, and it said: Wear down headset and travel to other world. I ignored that and wore off headset and notice, the water was turned into bloodish red, from my wound. I get out of bathtub and think its abnormal but, could happen from my injury. I get cloths and wear them first. And then I flush out all the water in bathtub. At first all the water got flushed, but then it happened. The water came back, and formed a big magic circle and next moment I wake up here.” Freda told the story.
“Dymnix faced the same. Magic circle made with his blood and then find himself here. Weird thing is my appearance was changed, which shouldn’t have been, because for Reina, Dymnix and you, it was same. Reina looks exactly like what she did in other world, so do you.” Seji explained.
“How do you know I looked like this?” Freda asked.
“Duh, your profile pic on Line.” Seji said.
(He is referencing to the App line.)
“So, you were lurking on my profile?” Freda asked.
“No, hell no. I have better things to do. Just happens to be a neutral friend who neither took hackers nor our side liked your picture, and I saw it.” Seji said.
“Sure. Reina your boyfriend is a creep.” Freda said.
“I don’t remember anything...” Reina said.
“*sigh* Relax we will find your memory.” Seji said and patted Reina.
“Continue story.” Rune said.
“So, After I was transported to this world, I found myself in outskirts of Goskar, another city in Niuinaire. I stood up and started looking around. I didn’t know what happened, but Since, I didn’t have many loved ones except a few friends, it didn’t bother me that I was transported, except the fact that I want to return, this world is way more painful than our one...” Freda said.
“Can you explain?” Master asked.
“Yea, keep listening you will find out why. I woke up and immediately knew I was transported, considering how much of an introvert and weeb, it still took five minutes to realize it wasn’t my world. But, okay I realized. I felt conflicted at first, I wanted to return home and stay here as well. With that conflicted mind I went to look around. I went in city and reached a red light district without noticing, since I couldn’t read anything...
*Into her memories.*
Freda was walking down a street with some buildings.
An old man was standing outside of one, As Freda walked close to pass the building, the man saw her face which was filled with grief. He called her, “Hey young lady, do you want to earn money?”
Conflicted as Freda was she replied, “Yeah, what’s the work?”
“Here.” Old man said and toppled the cash to Freda.
“Why are you giving me this?” Freda asked.
“Come with me.” The old man said and held Freda's hand and took her in a building, the building was filed with rooms from which moaning could be heard, Freda got scared and noticed, “this is.... a red light district.. sht.” Freda said and pulled her hand back from Old man's arm!
She tried running outside! But the old man said, “She stole cash.” And some bodyguards came out of a room and captured her.
They take her to a room, they closed the door and the bodyguard stood near door not to let the girl escape.
“Let me first confirm if you can work here, and I want a little payback because you tried running.” Old man said and undressed himself. He tried to undress Freda. Freda tries to run from his arms but her shirt tore, in her mind, she thought, “I just want to escape.” Freda said and pointed to ground.
“Sir, do you need any help.” Bodyguard asked.
“None.” Old man replied.
While Freda pointed downward, a magic circle appeared, and she slipped into the hole.
"What the!?! a spatial mage!?" Old man said, and tried to capture Freda and put his hand into the circle. Freda appeared at a random place in Goskar. She could see his arm trying to come out of circle.
“CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE!” Freda shouted. The magic circle closed, and his arm got cut. His arm fell onto the ground, seeing the arm Freda screamed. "AHHHHHHHH!!"
People started gathering and came out of their shops.
Hearing Freda's loud scream a girl came running to her rescue from her back.
“Hey, you alright?” The blonde haired girl said.
“I’m not...” Freda said while still facing trauma.
“Come inside. I’m Guild manager for this Union guild.” The blonde haired girl said and took Freda inside and gave her a room to stay.
Freda went and sat in room silently thinking about what just happened.
“I’m Alyssa. Guild manager of this Union guild. What’s your name?” Alyssa asked Freda.
“Freda. Freda Huan.” Freda replied.
“How did you end up screaming outside?” Alyssa asked.
“I- I just happen to be passing by a road ,and an old man tried to force himself on me. And I suddenly came here through a portal. I don’t know what that portal was, but I just wanted it closed ,and it closed cutting the man’s arm.” Freda said while breathing heavily.
“I see. It's alright, relax. If you want to take a bath you can take a bath, don’t worry about cloths you can wear mine.” Alyssa said with a smile.
“Are you sure?” Freda asked.
“Yea, I am. You can start working here as an adventurer. Your magic is called Spatial Magic. Spatial magic is magic in which you can transfer to any place as long as it's in ur range. It's convenient ,and you could make a good fortune.” Alyssa said.
Freda calmed down a bit, “I see, thank you.” She said.
“Welcome! Oh I forgot to ask your place. Where are you from?” Alyssa asked.
“I’m not from this world.” Freda said.
“What do you mean!?” Alyssa asked. She was going to laugh out loud but controlled somehow.
“Just trust me. This isn’t the same world where I have come from. My world don’t have magic, that’s why I got surprised by that.” Freda said in seriousness.
Seeing Freda’s serious face, Alyssa forgot laughter and said, “okay..”
*Back to present world*
“I see. Sorry to hear that.” Rune said.
“What you did after that?” Seji asked.
“After that, for that day I took rest. And next morning i started working as adventurer, Alyssa taught me how magic works, and she brought a book from library, she read and explained to me how spatial magic works and how can we use it. And after that I would just help transport some things here and there. I was making enough fortune for eating and all. But, I didn’t like going out much, I would even ask them to bring stuff here, so I can teleport. I had asked Alyssa that if she hears any news about any adventurer from another world tell me. But, A trauma sat in my heart for not moving out of Guild much. 10 days passed, 20 days passed and Alyssa came to me and said that many rumours about someone being from another world are spreading. She encouraged me to go, and look, but I refused. After she kept telling me for 3 days that I should go and look, so I accepted it. I went to Roskar, the royal city. But, before I could find about the person, Alfonzo saw me using portal and came to me immediately.”
*in her memories.*
“Hey, miss. Did you just use spatial magic?” Alfonzo asked.
“Yes, i did.” Freda replied.
“How about, never mind would mind telling me more about that? And yourself?” Alfonzo asked.
Before this, Alyssa had told Freda not to reveal her identity to anyone.
“I’m Freda, I was born in Kiruan Village, not many have heard about it but It’s in north-east of Niuinaire. I don’t know why or how but I was blessed with this ability since child and now I’m working in Union Guild as B level adventurer.” Freda said.
“Ah I see. Kiruan. I’m prince of Niuinaire, Alfonzo Niuin. Yes, the nation's name was based off our family name.” Alfonzo said.
She noticed Alfonzo's cloths and they were surely Royal.
“Oh, Prince.” Freda said and bowed.
"If you don't believe I'm prince. Here are 2 gold coins." Alfonzo said and handed the gold coins. on which, his face was carved.
"I believe you, lord." Freda said.
“Oh, don’t worry. To you I’m not prince. How about you start working for me?” Prince asked
Freda thought, “I could use him to gain knowledge more about the other people from my world.” and said, “It will be my pleasure, lord.”
“Oh, sure then. Come with me to my palace.” Alfonzo said and took Freda to the palace.
He took her to Underground palace.
Note: He took her to that side of underground palace which was still in good condition and had beautiful rooms.
“I would love for you to work for me, but 1st you can’t tell anyone that you are working for me. 2nd you will always wear these black robes. 3rd you will do whatever I say. If yes, you may start working for me and have a secret room here. You can’t leave until I order you, you can’t contact anyone and youcan say no now, only, but it could result in problems of me wiping your memories.” Alfonzo said.
Hearing Alfonzo’s conditions, she didn’t like a single of them, yet she said, “yes lord.”
She thought, “this is probably a test, if I pass then, he will hire me and I can get info.”
*Back to present time*
“And after that, days went. I was provided by food daily 3 times a day, I felt he forgot, but no he didn’t. And then one day he called me to go and hunt some adventurers, which happen to be you guys. And I later found out he's Delbrus and rest is history.” Freda said finishing the story.
“I see. So, you couldn’t find out who that other person was from another world?” Seji asked.
“Nope. We can start looking at that place again after Reina's memories are back.” Freda said.
“Yeah, You aren't good Sherlock Holmes. For now, I can’t use magic. Ella mentioned that her memories will slowly return too. I wonder if spending a day or two with her could bring her memories back.” Seji said.
“*cough-cough* your part of story is left.” Alec said.
“hmmn. When you were unconscious we went to train and....” Seji explained all that had happened to Alec. From training to the death of Emilia..
“I see...” Alec said as the tone of guild changed to sad again.
“You didn’t tell how you beat Alfonzo's time stop.” Rune said.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
“It's complicated. I don’t understand. During our training we trained in a room which was just like my mana. So, I tried making a room, and it got successful but the thing was I couldn’t keep it up for more than 2 minutes, for 2 minutes no magic works in that room. It's like an endless abyss. So vast with no end that even the strongest thing looks weak in it. So, I made same room with Alfonzo and it worked, his time stop failed, and I used a rod to beat him, though the time extended to 5 minutes during I beat him maybe training was showing it's effect. Don’t ask why rod though.” Seji said.
“Okay. Weird. That’s a way too strong technique.” Rune said.
“I don't let my mana go out mostly. it just feels 'weird' and I get scared when it's out for some reason, so I never tried that. Weird as like it feels you are missing something. But, I guess it's possible. And, Maybe it was your emotions. Emotions can affect mana.” Master said.
“Yeah, but now after they used that weird drug I can’t seem to use magic for some weeks.” Seji said.
“I see.” Alec said.
“Why don’t you rest for some days?” Master said.
“Rest?” Seji said.
“Yeah, you and Reina can have a week off. The north-east of capital have beautiful houses and is peaceful, why don’t you go and stay there for a week or for some days until your magic is back.” Master said.
“Guild house is fine.” Seji said.
“Yea but whole point of vacation is to give you rest for some time. If you stay here you won't be able to rest, and this might help Reina to gain some memories.” Master said.
Seji looked at Reina and asked, “What do you say?”
“Huh- Me. Se-ems fine..” Reina said while being a little embarrassed.
“Okay, then let’s leave tomorrow morning.” Seji said.
“Sounds good to me. Till then we can look for Bellal while Alec and Mei can do some questing.” Master said.
“Yea.” Alec replied.
“I’ll keep a look too.” Rune said.
“Thanks Rune.” Seji said.
“Thank me later. And that reminds me. Have you guys seen Kiwari and Kiriyo?” Rune asked.
Mei got silent and her face went abit off.
“They went back home for some days too.” Master said.
“I see. Good for them, though I would have loved to meet them.” Seji said.
“Yea. Me too.” Mei said sarcastically, but no one noticed.
“Well, look it’s dark already." Master said.
“Yea.” Alec said.
Serina walked down from the stairs and went to kitchen without saying anything.
“erm. Me and Reina will eat out today, Master. I promised to get her something, so we will be heading out.” Seji said.
“Oh sure.” Master said.
“Do you even have money.” Alec said.
“Yea. Have enough.” Seji replied.
“Oh yea, I owe you both some money. Master had given me all the money from the quest before.” Mei said.
“It's fine. We all share same money. I have 5-6k left, which Irwin gave me. It's your guys money too, so don’t worry. We can share from next time.” Seji said.
“Sounds good to me.” Alec said.
“Rei, let’s go?” Seji asked.
“Okay.” Reina replied.
They got up, “see you guys later.” Seji said.
“Have a fun time.” Freda said.
“Thank you.” Reina said, and they walked out.
“Hey Alec. Wanna see what they do?” Mei said.
“Huh, no.” Alec replied.
“Come, on. Get to know your sister-in-laww better, Seji is like brother to us right.” Mei said.
“Jeez fine.” Alec said.
“Master, don’t tell him okay.” Mei said.
“Okay.” Master replied.
"I would talk to Egan about some stuff but I don’t wanna bother him, so let me join you guys. And I can visit cityat the same time too.” Freda said.
“Okay sounds good.” Mei said.
“I’ll come too. Just to make sure you guys don’t get caught and ruin their date.” Rune said.
“Just say, you wanna have a look too.” Mei said.
“Not really.... Never mind actually, you can say that.” Rune said.
“Take care you guys too.” Master said.
“Yea.” Mei said and those 4 walked out trailing Seji and Reina.
Reina asked, “Where are we going?”
“Secret. Keep following me.” Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina said.
While others trailing them,
“What are they talking?” Alec asked.
“Who knows. Let’s keep following to see where they're going.” Mei said.
“Okay.” Freda said, and they kept following.
After a while they reached the tailor's shop.
It was the same shop where they got cloths last time. Old man Prain's tailoring shop.
They go inside and see cloths of different designs hanging.
“He's going to buy her clothes.” Freda said.
“I see.” Mei said.
“Let’s wait here. Old man prain's shop is small, they will see us if we go inside.” Rune said.
“Yea. Right.” Alec said.
“Oh welcome, what would you like?” Prain welcomed Seji and Reina into his shop.
Reina looks around cloths, “Hey Seji, it's alright. I don’t need cloths.”
“You do. I’ll get you one of your old outfits in your world.” Seji said.
“But it's alright." Reina said.
“No, it's not alright. I want to get you some. So, I’ll.” Seji said and went to Prain to explain what kind of dress he wants.
Reina thought, “I wonder what kind of dress I used to wear that he's going to get.”
“Oh, yea something like that is available. Just arrived from Niuinaire actually.” Prain said.
“Really? That’s great. Then use that and erm.” Seji said and again started whispering into his ear.
Prain went into the back room to get the dress made and Seji came back to Reina.
“Okay, he's coming back in sometime.” Seji said.
“We could have just gotten dinner. Don’t need to spend too much money.” Reina said.
“Your attitude towards money is still same, never letting me using much of it.” Seji said.
“Really?” Reina asked.
“Yeah, no joke.” Seji said.
“I see.” Reina said.
“Surprised to hear that?” Seji asked.
“Yahh. A little." Reina said.
“Oh, let me confirm something else. What’s your favorite color?” Seji asked Reina.
“Every color is good.” She said.
“Eh, point one out.” Seji said.
“Violet.” Reina said.
“Whua, that’s not changed either.” Seji said.
“I see. Weird.” Reina said.
“Here, the dress is ready.” Prain said while coming out.
“Thanks Old man. That’s exactly how I wanted.” Seji said and took it to Reina.
“Here, try these on.” Seji said while handing over the cloths to Reina.
It was a pair of blue jean, which extended down to her knees. This was material which Prain said was available. With that blue jean was a Yellow shoulder less top joint with a red shirt below whose strap extended onto shoulders.
“How these look?” Seji asked.
“Look beautiful.” Reina said.
“See, you like them?” Seji said.
“I Love them! Thank you, Seji.” Reina said.
“Go try these on.” Seji said.
“Sure. But where.” Reina said.
“Oh there is trial room, go wear these.” Seji said.
“Okay. Wait here.” Reina said and went to try those cloths.
After a few minutes she came out.
“How these look?” Reina asked being a little embarrassed.
“GREAT!” Seji said with a little nosebleed and a good job hand sign.
“Something wrong?” Reina asked.
“Nothing-Nothing. Maybe temperature causing this.” Seji said explaining about his nosebleed which was actually because he thought, “she looks sexy as hell in actual!!!”
“Let’s go?” Reina asked.
“Yea sure. Thank you old man Prain, can you please give a handbag for those cloths? And how much is the cost?” Seji asked Prain.
“You aren’t going to get anything? You could get a Denim like her.” Prain said while handing a handbag.
“Yea, you should get it too. It will look great.” Reina said.
“Okay, if you say so. Alright then make a pair for me.” Seji said.
Prain went and immediately came out with a pair of Jean.
“That was way too quick.” Seji said.
“I had made some before. And have for your size as well.” Prain said and handed Jean to Seji.
“I go wear this.” Seji said and went to changing room.
He came out wearing jean, which worked with his black shirt and red jacket.
“Thanks Old man. This is great. How much?” Seji asked.
“ A thousand Rugen will do for now.” Prain said with smile.
“Thanks man.” Seji said and continued with, “Let’s go Reina.” And they walked out of shop.“
“She looks so pretty.” Mei said.
“I want a jean too.” Freda said.
“What’s that?” Rune asked.
“The type of pant they're wearing.” Freda said.
“I see.” Rune said.
“That’s similar to what Dymnix was wearing. Must be popular in your world.” Alec said.
“Ah, Yea. Dymnix was wearing this type of thing too.” Mei said.
“Yea, it's very popular in my world.” Freda said.
“I see.” Rune replied.
“Hmm, I remember Ariel and others Showing me some restaurants while we were on our way to visit monuments etc. One had outdoor tables and services, let’s go to that one.” Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina said.
They were walking and Reina asked, “Hey Seji. What’s your favorite food?”
“Err, I like Ramen. And I don’t know any restaurant which servers ramen here, in general I don’t know what they serve here.” Seji said.
“Ramen?” Reina asked.
“Yea, you know noodles?” Seji asked.
“Not really.” Reina said.
“Oh, it's alright we can try making it. I’ll make it for you. It’s tasty, or we can ask them if any ramen or noodle shop exists and then ask them to make it my way.” Seji said.
“Okay.” She replied.
A partial smile was back on their faces. Even though deep down in both of their hearts, it was filled with sorrow.
“Where they're going?” Mei said.
“Probably to eat.” Freda said.
“Could be it.” Mei said, and they kept following them.
“Hey, Rei. I’m just confirming but what’s your favorite food?” Seji asked.
“I Guess, Roasted fish.” Reina replied.
“I see. That’s kind of similar except you liked Yakitori more.” Seji said.
“What’s that?” Reina asked.
“Grilled chicken. It's also tasty.” Seji said.
“Ahh, let’s eat sometime.” Reina said.
“Sure, dumdum.” Seji said.
“What dumdum means?” Reina asked.
“That's tough to explain. Let’s just say cute way of calling someone dumb.” Seji said.
“Heh? I’m not dumb, okay.” Reina said and pouted her face.
“Haaah!! You are dumb. You don’t remember your favorite dish. You dumdum.” Seji said trolling Reina.
“Hmp.” Reina said.
“Just kidding. You are smart in terms of strategies and making PvP(player vs player) combos at least.” Seji said.
“What’s that now.” Reina said.
“Man, I’ll explain later on. Anyway, you're liking so far?” Seji asked.
“Yeah, I am.” Reina said and smiled.
“Happy to hear that, look we at restaurant.” Seji said as they were standing in front of Restaurant.
Many chairs and tables were set up outside the main building.
“Here, sit.” Seji said while dragging a chair out for Reina.
“Thank you.” Reina said and sat on char.
“He's behaving like a gentleman.” Freda said.
“Yeah.” Mei said.
“Looks weird to see him like that.” Alec said.
“No comments.” Rune said.
Seji went and sat in front of her.
The menu was on table, A waiter came and asked, “I’m Tyran, your server. What might be your order sir?”
“Let us check. Rei, what do you want to eat?” Seji asked handing over the menu.
Reina opens the menu and goes into a deep thinking, “Hmmn. I- actually what is this written?”
“Good job, I don’t understand this world’s language either much.” Seji said and laughed awkwardly looking at waiter. The waiter smiled awkwardly knowing something is wrong with these two.
“Hey Tyran. Can you tell what’s special today?” Seji said.
“Pork soup and smoked chicken.” Tyran said.
“Sounds good Rei?” Seji asked.
“Yea.” Reina replied.
“Okay, bring them for two people.” Seji replied.
“Yes, sir.” Tyran replied and went. After a while he came back with food.
The food looked absolutely delicious.
“Thank you for the food.” Seji said. And they started eating.
“This is tasty.” Reina said.
“Yea, it is. Soup is ok-ish though.” Seji said.
“Mhm.”
After a while the were done eating and a waiter came and picked up the bowls and all and the waiter from before returned and handed the bill.
“How much is it?” Seji asked.
“600 Rugen sir.” The waiter replied.
“Ah, here you go.” Seji said and handed 700 Rugen to Waiter.
“100 is your tip. Thank you for serving.” Seji said.
“Ah, No. Thank you sir. By the way, we also have a new item available, I think it's called Ice Cream.” The waiter said.
“Oh really!?” Seji said in shock.
“What’s that?” Reina asked.
“A frozen milk desert. It's so tasty that don’t ask!” Seji said.
“I see.” Reina replied.
“What flavors do you have?” Seji asked.
“Chocolate, Blueberry, Vanilla and Mango sir.” Waiter replied.
“Ahh which one do you want Rei?” Seji asked.
“Whichever you like.” Reina said.
“You sure? You didn’t use to like chocolate much. My favorite is chocolate though.” Seji said.
“I can try, I guess.” Reina said.
“Okay then. Bring two chocolate. And also, where is toilet?” Seji asked.
“That’s in main building. Please go inside to see it.” Tyran said and went to get ice cream.
“Sit here, I’ll be right back." Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina said.
Seji stood and went in main building to go to bathroom.
He went to bathroom.
“Where is he going?” Mei asked.
“Who knows.” Freda said.
Three guys were walking towards Reina from inside the Main building. And they stopped near her and started teasing and commenting her.
“Hey beautiful. Why are you sitting alone? Come hang out with us.” A guy said. He had a scar on his head.
“Oh, come on lady.” Another guy said.
“Yea come on. You will be rich by morning.”
Reina said, “leave, if he came, I don’t know how much you will survive.”
“He who? Your boyfriend? Well it's alright. Ditch him.” The guy with scar said and sat on Seji's seat.
Seji came out of bathroom and said, “Hey Tyraan. Give me ice cream I can take them from here.”
“Oh sure, sir. Just a minute. He's preparing.” Tyran said and went inside the kitchen to get them.
Seji just stood on counter.
“Should we help her? Seji isn’t there.” Mei said.
“Yea. We should.” Freda said.
“No, if we do. We will reveal ourselves. If they try to do anything stupid,only then we will reveal ourselves.” Rune said.
“Yea, let Seji take care of them.” Alec said.
While in restaurant's main building.
“Here sir.” Tyran said and handed the ice cream.
“Thanks man.” Seji said and walked out of door and noticed some guys sitting near Reina.
“Are they from our guild?” Seji said to himself and walked closer.
“I’m going.” Reina said and tried to stand up, but the guy with scar held her hand.
“I’m going!” Mei said and ran.
“Shoot.” Freda said and opened portal in front of Mei, and she hit Rune who was standing in last of them.
“Look, Seji is there. Don’t ruin his moment.” Rune said.
“So, you aren’t from our guild.” Seji said while standing behind the two guys.
The two guys got shocked and turned back just to get ice cream in their face. Seji slammed ice cream in their face and held their heads with his hands and bashed them in table where Reina and the guy with scar were sitting. The guy holding Reina's arm got his arm broken because of the impact from two guys being bashed on his arm.
“Seji!” Reina said.
“Yo." Seji said and kicked the guy with scar in face.
The two guys stood and tried to attack Seji but Reina said, “Seji, look back!”
“GO!!!!” Reina said, and the two goons behind Seji went flying into the main building, the impact wasn’t too great, but it still made them unconscious.
“Thanks, Rei.” Seji said.
“What just happened...” Reina said.
“It's fine.” Seji said and picked up the chair and bashed it in the guy who had scar.
“How it feels?” Seji asked.
“Arrr!!!! Feels painful, I’m sorry.” The guy said and opened his eyes just to notice that Seji had Elemental emblem mark on his hand.
Reina was sitting on right side, and her emblem was on downside of her left arm. And when the guys came she picked her hands off the table as a gesture. Because of this they couldn’t see her Emblem.
“You guys are from Elemental!?!” The guy said.
“Yea.” Seji said.
The guy just ran after hearing that. He didn’t even bother looking at his friends.
“Well, ice cream is ruined. Let’s get another one.” Seji said.
“Wow.” Reina said.
“Something wrong?” Seji asked.
“Nothing. Let’s go.” Reina said.
“Okaaaa! let’s go inside and eat there.” Seji said, and they went inside.
“He nailed it.” Alec said.
“Yeah. Luckily they didn’t use much magic.” Rune said.
“Yea.” Mei said.
“They are gone inside to eat ice cream probably.” Freda said.
“What’s that?” Mei asked.
“A frozen milk desert. Pretty tasty. Try it sometime. Seji was carrying ice cream. The thing which he bashed in their heads.” Freda said.
“I see.” Alec said.
Reina and Seji came out of the hotel's main building with cones this time.
“That’s ice cream too?” Rune asked.
“Yeah.” Freda said.
“Looks tasty.” Mei said.
At the same time, Seji asked Reina, “Where should we go next?”
“I’m not sure.” Reina replied.
“Actually, I don’t know much about city either. Wish someone could guide us.” Seji said.
“Let’s ask the waiter from before?” Reina said.
“Ah yea. That's a good idea.” Seji said, and they went in hotel's building again.
“They are going in again?” Mei said.
“Seems so.” Freda said.
“Hey Tyraan. What are good places to visit in Galahaeim.” Seji asked.
“Oh, hello again sir. I believe visiting the fountains cross road might be a good place. And there is a Garden in east and park in north-east, but that will be way too far. I believe visiting monument cross roads might be nice thing for now.” Tyraan said.
“Oh thanks. Where is Fountains cross road then?” Seji asked.
“Walk straight in left and take fourth turn to right.” Tyraan said.
“Oh, thanks. See ya. Let’s go Rei.” Seji said.
“No problem sir.” Tyraan replied.
Seji and Reina headed to Fountains cross road.
“They came back.” Mei said.
“Yea, but they are going in left now.” Freda said.
“What’s in left?” Alec asked.
“Fountains cross road. Many beautiful fountains are there.” Rune said.
“Ahh, I see.” Alec said.
“Let’s keep following.” Mei said, and they kept following Seji and Reina.
“The ice cream was tasty right.” Seji said.
“Yes.” Reina said and looked at Seji’s face who had gotten ice cream on his nose and left cheek.
“Seji, there's ice cream on your cheek and nose.” Reina said.
“Oh.” Seji said and cleaned ice cream from his nose, but he spread ice cream on his cheek.
“Now?” Seji asked.
“No, come here.” Reina said, and she got closer to her cheek.
She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and used that to clean his cheek.
“Okay, good now.” Reina said.
“Oh, thank you...” Seji said being a flustered from her touch.
“Welcome.” Reina said and smiled.
“Did he just blushed!?!” Mei shouted.
“That sounded like Mei. Or am I imagining things?” Seji said.
“I’m not sure.” Reina said.
“Anyway, let’s keep walking. We are almost there I guess.” Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina said, and they started walking again.
“You should control yourself.” Rune said.
“Yea, we almost got caught.” Alec said.
“Look, they are going again.” Freda said.
"My bad.” Mei said.
Seji thought, “I’m pretty sure I heard Mei, are those brats following us?”
He looked back and noticed no one was there.
“Never mind. May be a mirage.” Seji thought and kept walking.
After a few minutes they reached the Fountains cross road.
There were many fountains and one big one in middle.
They were all lit up and looked beautiful at night.
“Wowwww! They are beautiful.” Reina said.
“Yea. Indeed, they are beautiful. Let’s sit there.” Seji said pointing out to a fountain.
“Okay.” Reina replied, and they went to sit on fountain.
“Hey Rei, you know Knock-Knock Jokes?” Seji asked.
“No, what are they?” Reina asked.
“One person says Knock-Knock. Other person asks who’s there and the first person makes some puns.” Seji said.
“Oh.” Reina replied.
“Like if I say Knock-Knock. You reply ‘Who's there?’ Okay?” Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina said.
“Knock-Knock.” Seji said.
“Who’s there?” Reina asked.
“Etch.” Seji said.
“What’s That’s?” Reina said.
“*face palm* You are supposed to say Etch - who?” Seji said.
“Oh, I see. Etch who?” Reina said.
“Bless you.” Seji said.
“Huh?” Reina said.
“You just sneezed right? Etch who?” Seji said.
“Oh, I did?” Reina said.
“Never mind. It won’t work.” Seji said.
“Oh, I don’t get them.” Reina said.
“Maybe when your memories are back.” Seji said.
“Mhm...”
“Don’t be sad we will bring them back.” Seji said.
“Yea...” Reina said.
Seji dipped his hand in water and threw some drops on her face.
“You awake?” Seji asked.
“Jeez, I am.” Reina said and threw water at him back.
“I was just making sure.” Seji said and threw water back.
“Stop it!” Reina said.
“Ahahahah fine-fine.” Seji said.
“Hmp!” Reina pouted her face and sat.
“What were they doing?” Mei asked.
“Maybe he's teasing her.” Freda said.
“What for?” Alec asked.
“Girls fell for guys whose company they enjoy. And opening up by bugging each other is a good way.” Freda said.
“I wonder about that.” Mei said.
“Hmm, they just having fun.” Rune said.
“The sky is beautiful in this world.” Seji said while looking at sky.
“How was sky in that world?” Reina asked.
“Just like this. But way more dark and way lesser stars. At least in cities. I've tended to love nature in this world. In our world it's broken. Humans have broken it, since they are only race to exist. With other animals of course.” Seji said.
“I see.” Reina said.
“We don’t have magic in our world either. It's just simple life, but other things have made it way more complicated than the life here. Life here is easier I say.” Seji said.
“How so?” Reina asked.
“In our world, we need to study. And then try to get a job in the proper company for full utilization of our school degrees. In short, it's a mess which humans have developed.” Seji said.
“Then what you feel about this world?” Reina asked.
“This is way more harmful world than our ones of course. Every single life matters in our world. Mostly at least, considering rich lives are more important, because of that, the population have exploded in last 100 years and Environment is crumbling. Meanwhile, this world is pure, for now. Industrialization is happening in Niuinaire, but I don’t think they will be able to overuse anything due to presence of magic. They can use mana as fuel. And population is in control here for now.” Seji explained.
“I see. It sounds sad.” Reina said.
“It is. If we manage to return home. I wish we can change the world with magic. That way we will be able to prevent it from further de-“ Seji was speaking but stopped.
“Oh sorry, I started an unnecessary boring topic.” Seji said.
“No, it's alright. It was nice to hear your thoughts.” Reina said.
“I've something t- never mind let's go back. It's night now. We can talk tomorrow.” Seji said.
“Oh, sure.” Reina said.
“Though, there's a problem.” Seji said.
“What’s that?” Reina asked.
“I don’t know the way to guild.” Seji said and laughed awkwardly.
“Now what?!!” Reina asked.
“Can we go by flying? But, you will have to carry me.” Seji said.
“Oh, we can.” Reina said.
“Okay, then. Let’s go.” Seji said. Reina hugged Seji from behind and flew in air.
“There it is.” Seji said pointed out to Guildhall.
“They are going back by flying?!” Freda said.
“Maybe he forgot route to guild hall.” Mei said.
“That could be.” Alec said.
“Yea, let’s head back.” Rune said, and they started walking back.
After a few minutes Seji and Reina reached Guild.
“Thanks Rei.” Seji said.
“I should thank you for this all.” Reina said being flustered.
“Eh, not really. You needed them.” Seji said.
“But, still thank you.” Reina said.
“Welcome always. Let’s go in anyway.” Seji said.
“Okay.” Reina and Seji walked in.
It was empty. Time was almost 9.P.M
So Seji and Reina headed to their room directly.
“You should change cloths. It's not comfortable to sleep in jean.” Seji said.
“Oh, okay if you say so.” Reina said.
“Well, I’m going to sleep then. See you tomorrow Rei.” Seji said and laid on bed.
He was happy, because he managed to go on a date with Reina, finally. Even though, the date went well it was still bitter sweet for him as she didn't remember who she was.
Meanwhile, Rune and others were walking back to Guild hall through Market.
As they were walking, Mei noticed a ribbon hanging out of a shop.
“Wait, guys.” Mei said and started checking her pocket.
“I forgot money in room...” Mei said in sorrow.
“Oh, how much you need.” Freda asked.
“I’m not sure. I wanted that ribbon.” Mei said.
“Wait here.” Rune said and went to shop to get it.
“You don’t need to, I could have come back later.” Mei said.
“It's alright.” Rune said and got into shop and bought the ribbon for 500 rugen.
He walked back to Mei with the ribbon in a box.
“Here.” Rune said and handed box to Mei.
“Thank You, Rune. But, you didn’t need to. How much this cost? I’ll return when we get back home.” Mei said being a little embarrassed.
“It's alright. Consider it a gift from a teacher.” Rune said.
“Okay, but are you sure? That’s not really cheap.” Mei said.
“You want it or not?” Rune asked.
“I want. But.” Mei said.
“Just take this and let’s go back. I’m sleepy.” Rune said and handed box to Mei and started walking.
“Thanks Rune.” Mei said, and everyone started walking.
Meanwhile, in Seji's room. Seji was already asleep, his body was tired, and he was joyed because of date. So as soon as he laid on bed he fall asleep.
Reina comes out of room with changed cloths and noticed he was already asleep.
“He didn’t take blanket.” Reina said and kept her cloths on side and went to give blanket on Seji.
She covered him with blanket and noticed that Seji was muttering words, “Lei..”
“He's cute when asleep.” Reina said to herself.
Meanwhile, at downstairs Rune and others were back.
“Oh, they kept our share, on table.” Rune said pointing out the food which was covered.
“Let’s eat then.” Mei said and they started eating.
After awhile they were finished.
“Oh, Alec. Why don’t you sleep in the room we sleep. We can drag a bed there.” Mei said.
“It's alright. Let's not disturb others for now. And it will ruin Seji and Reina's sleep.” Alec said.
“Well good night guys.” Freda said.
“Good night Freda.” They replied and Freda went to her room to sleep.
“I’m going too.” Good night.” Rune said and went to his room too.
“Good night Rune.” Mei and Alec said.
“Well if you say so.” Mei said to Alec, and they started heading to above stairs.
While in Room, Reina was still there lying near Seji.
“His lips... no no no, I shouldn’t think like that.” Reina said and stopped.
Mei and Alec reached the medical room.
“Good night Alec.” Mei said.
“Good night Mei.” Alec said and went into his room.
Mei walked to Seji's room and opened the door noticing Reina sitting beside Seji.
“Did I come at wrong time?” Mei asked being embarrassed.
“No, come. I was just covering him with blanket. He slept instantly today.” Reina said.
“Oh really? That’s good.” Mei said and started heading to bathroom.
“Nice ribbon Mei.” Reina said.
“Oh thanks.” Mei said.
“Welcome. Please turn off the lights . I’m going to sleep too.” Reina said and went to her bed.
“Oh sure.” Mei said and went to bathroom while Reina went to her bed and slept.
Meanwhile this was going on, at another place.
In a room, a person was sitting and making some furniture. Blood was all over his cloths, and all over the walls and floor.
“I finally finished this.. ” The person said with his menacing voice and revealed a chair made from bones, a bowl made from human skull, and a jacket made from the skin.
“Oh, I need a bone for my collection.” The man said and picked a bone out of chair and because of that, the chair fell and collapsed.
“I hadn’t fixed them yet. AARGGGGG" He shouted in madness and kicked the bones.
“Well, it doesn’t matter, I get to play longer.” The man said and licked the spinal cord bone which he had in his hand.
“Delicious!” The man said in joy and put the bone in a toolbox.
His expression changed to serious and then again changed to joy. He said, “Now time to show my skills.” And started working again.
