We started walking. Egan and Reiz were still staring at each other with killer look while walking. But didn’t speak anything.

“Shouldn't he be scared of Egan?” I whispered in Ariel's ear.

“Nah. If you thinking about A class or ranks. Forget it. When it comes to top guilds. Rank is just a worthless title. Most of them are monsters. Being in low rank only depends on Quest completion. Nothing more. It doesn’t decide one's power. Though SSS Class is exception. The Quest difficulty is At a different level. That’s why guilds only have Three or Four SSS class adventurers.” Ariel explained to me.

“I see.” I replied.

“Reiz also tags alongwith us. But, this time he had been ordered by master to split up into Three teams. Since, he needed Reiz for other quest. They might not look, but they are good friends actually.” Ariel said.

Maybe she meant Two teams but never mind that.

“ Then why he said he will beat Egan?” I asked.

“They always fighting on whose stronger. Egan’s flames or Reiz's Water. They both only have one most powerful attribute. They don’t focus on other attributes, but only Fire and water. That’s why we are always into team of four.” Ariel explained to me.

“I see.” I replied.

“Wow! The streets have been lighted up. It looks so beautiful.” Mei said.

“I think so too.” Alec said.

“Yeah, It’s beautiful.” Egan and Reiz said.

They look at each other again with killer stare but didn’t spoke.

“They mad in something?” I asked.

“Nope. They just want to spar. They are fighting freaks. But, they can’t for now. Since we are here.” Rune said.

Ariel goes and punches both.

“Try to fight and I’ll kill you both.” Ariel said.

She looks terrifying.

“Y-YES MAM.” Reiz and Egan replied.

We looked around shops and houses. Everything street was decorated.

We were enjoying ourselves. But the capital was way too big to tour in an hour or two. But we did saw many monuments and Land Marks like The Dullahan Monument. It had Four roads meeting point and in middle, there was a Dullahan's statue. I didn’t know what it was

So, I asked, “Hey, what’s with that monument? Is that a Dullahan?”

I knew that a Warrior who holds his head in hand are known as Dullahan. I watched it in Du****ra! The anime.

“Yes, It’s a Dullahan. His name is Rinth. Legend says that He was a good Dullahan, who would protect Humans. That’s why he wields a sword instead of Human spine, unlike most Dullahans. And if you look behind statue, that’s the Royal Palace. Pretty big, isn’t it.” Ariel explained.

“Ahh, Yea. It’a pretty large.” I said while looking at Royal Palace. It was enormous.

“Cathedral is other side of city.” Ariel said.

“Ah, I see.” I replied.

“But, that’s just a Legend. How true can a legend be in actual." Egan said.

“Yeah, that’s just a dead legend.” Rune said.

“But some say that Legend will come back on the last day of the year and kill you if you don’t treat them well. But, it’s maybe to respect the legend.” Reiz said while trying to spook us.

“That would be scary.” I said.

“Last day of year is quite far.” Egan said.

“Don’t scare me...” Mei said while shaking in fear.

“Awe, Mei. I’m here don’t mind Reiz.” Ariel said while patting Mei.

“And I’ll kill you if you try to scare Mei.” Ariel said to Reiz.

“Y-ES MAM.” Reiz replied.

We all chuckle a little and continued our tour. We see other land Marks. The town's hall. The big arena. Which was twice or thrice as bigger than the Gines one. Then we went to buy cloths.

The tailor was making cloths very quickly. He wasn’t from human race either. He looked like an elf.

We enter the shop.

“Welcome, I’m Prain. The elf tailor. I can weave cloths very fast and in just mere minutes.” The tailor named, Prain said.

“Yo Old man. I want my usual ones.” Egan said.

“As you say, Egan my boy. Any other orders, you people may like?” Tailor asked from us.

“Same as this one just put a different design.” Reiz said.

“Noted.” Tailor said.

“I think I’ll go with same too. But, can you make like,” Ariel said and went to whisper in Tailor's ear.

“Oh, The design of Niuinaire? That would be easy.” Tailor said.

“Yay! And for mei. I think,” Ariel said and again whispered in Tailor's ear.

“Noted.” Tailor said.

“I want this same.” Rune said.

“Alright.”

“I want same too. May be a little change in design, but same.” Alec said.

“I want this one same, but with better fabrics, and uh try to make a different design please. And I want different cloths too. I can’t describe it well. Do you have pen and paper?” I asked.

“Noted that and here, Pen and Paper.” Tailor gave me.

The pen was old style But, I manage somehow. It was tough, but I draw a rough sketch.

“This.” I showed it to him.

He said, “Oh, The design from Kinshō.”

“Is that a city name?” I asked.

“No, it’s the country.” He replied.

“Oh, I see.” I replied.

“All done?” Tailor asked.

“I guess so." Egan replied.

“Alright then. Give me ten minutes. I’ll be back immediately.” Tailor said and went in back room.

“You, Sure he can make cloths?” I asked Egan.

“Yea, his fabric is amazing. And he’s fasted in the city.” Egan replied.

“I see.” I replied.

“He's retired Adventurer. He was an adventurer but became a tailor after getting old.” Egan said.

“Whoa! That’s cool.” I said.

“So, Seji. How you know about, Cloths available in Kinsho?” Rune asked me.

“I didn’t. Its traditional dress in my county. In my world, of course. I didn’t know a country like that could exist here too.” I replied.

“I see.” Rune said.

“Whuaa, your world seems good man. I wish I could visit.” Egan said.

“If we could, I would take you guys and show you guys a lot of things.” I replied and chuckled a little.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

A few minutes pass by and Prain comes out of the back room.

“Here, All your cloths. Only 2,000 Rugen.” Tailor said.

“As always, Cheap and Great, thanks old man. Pack them differently. Ariel will pay up for this.” Egan said.

“Fine. Only because I want to give newbies some cloths. Not you people. So, I’ll pay 1,000 only.” Ariel said.

“I can pay rest of it, I think.” I said and tried to check my wallet. But, I’m not in my world! I remember i kept money in bag, and it’s in my room in guild house!

“You don’t need to worry. I’ll pay rest. You guys are newbies. Just think of this as our gift.” Rune said.

“I think so. Since, I forgot money back in room.” I said while awkwardly laughing.

“Alright. It's fine.” Rune said and paid Tailor.

“Thank you, and would you like to try the cloths? The trial room is over there.” Tailor said.

“Actually Yes! I want to try mine and mei's.” Ariel said.

“Yes, Ariel.” Mei said, and they went into trial room.

We can hear their laughs. Typical girls.

“Fine, give me mine too. I want to try that Yukata.” I said.

“Here.” Tailor handed me the white Yukata I had drawn. It was perfectly made. The black pattern on yukata was absolutely perfect. The Dragon pattern was also looking great with flowers.

“Wow! This is perfect. Even in my world, I didn’t have yukata this cool.” I said.

“Yea man that’s awesome.” They all said.

I went to another trial room to wear yukata. And it was comfortable.

I came out and it looked cool too.

“Pretty nice.” Alec said.

“Looks great man!” Egan and Reiz said.

“Looks nice to me.” Rune replied.

“I guess I’ll wear this for now. Where are girls? They didn’t come out yet?” I asked.

“Oh look there they are.” Alec said.

Mei and Ariel were walking towards us.

Mei was wearing a Magenta Red, and Magenta Purple Dress. With Stockings of same color. One Magenta red stocking. And on other leg, Magenta purple.

While Ariel was wearing white dress with different designs. And was wearing white stockings.

“Wow!! You both look pretty.” Reiz and Egan said.

“Pretty!” Alec said.

“Thank you!” Mei and Ariel said, and chuckled a little.

“Don't you have to say anything?” Mei asked me.

“You both look pretty. They said everything I could say.” I replied.

“Awe, Thank you Seji.” Ariel said.

“Thank you!” Mei said.

“Welcome.” I said.

“And you look pretty cool too, seji. It’s called yukata in my world. In here, I don’t know.” I said.

“It’s called Yukata in Kinsho too.” Tailor replied.

“I see. That’s one co-incidence.” I said.

“Are they made for women too?” Ariel asked.

“Yes, they are.” Tailor replied.

“Then I’ll get them next time. See you for now!” Ariel said. We picked up out cloths and went out.

“See ya, Old man prain.” Egan said.

“Let’s go home now. It’s late now.” Ariel said, and we walked to home. It was fun with them. We talked a lot of things. And got to know each other.

After a while we reach Guild house. And went inside.

It was empty. Looks like everyone went to sleep.

“That was fun.” I said.

“Yea, Let’s hang out some other time too!” Ariel said.

“Yess!!” Egan said.

“Good night, you all. I’m sleepy.” Rune said and went to his room.

“Good night! Let’s go Mei.” Ariel said.

“Okay! Goodnight.” Mei said, and they went upstairs.

“Good night. I’m sleepy too.” I said and went in my room.

“Good night.” They said and went in their rooms, too.

I was in room. And I put cloths in the bag, which I had gotten from Irwin. Since we will be traveling tomorrow I need to pack up this bag.

Setting up these minor things, I went to sleep.

“It was fun. After Five days I’m feeling better in this world.” I said to myself.

“But, I wish you could be with me.” I again said to myself and went to sleep.

NEXT MORNING.

I can see sun rays coming in my room through a window. Seems like it’s morning already. I stand up and went to take shower.

“Yawn!” I said and went to take shower.

After fifteen minutes I finish shower and come out. I wear the new cloths, I got from the tailor.

They were looking great after I checked into mirror in bathroom. The design was different and it was looking great. So, I went down after showering.

“Oh! Good morning, Seji. I was just going to call everyone down for breakfast.” Serina said with smile.

“Good morning, everyone. Where are others?” I asked Serina.

“Probably still sleeping in their rooms.” Serina said.

I look at tables and Egan, Rune, Reiz, Areil and Master were sitting. I went near them.

“Good morning, guys.” I said.

“Good morning, Seji. Come sit.” They replied.

“Sure, By the way, Master. Did you got the quest near Glouester?” I asked.

“Ah, Yea. It’s not really close to Glouester. But, towns near Glouester can just give quest to Glouester’s guilds. It’s tough to find one from those towns.” Master said.

“How much is distance?” I asked.

“Takes an hour to go to Verona village, in a horse cart. And it’s around an hour more from Verona to Glouester.” Master said.

“That’s quite a lot of time. But, I guess it should be fine.But what is the quest?” I asked.

“C class Monster hunt.” Master said.

“That should be easy for you.” Egan said.

“Should be.” I replied.

“Yea, but if you think something big is coming. Run. We can send help later for villagers. Just evacuate with them if any big danger comes. Okay?” Master said.

“Yes Master.” I replied.

“I didn’t found any communication crystal either. Today is 26th. So, if you don’t return by night of 28th. I’ll send a party to look for you.” Master said with seriousness.

“Yes, Sir.” I replied.

“Everyone! Come down for break fast!!” Serina called everyone.

Everyone else comes down. Mei, Alec, Kiwari, Emilia, Isabell and others.

“Dragnia isn’t coming down again?” I asked.

“He never does.” Egan said.

“Yea, anyways enjoy breakfast.” Master said.

“Good morning, everyone.” Isabel said while rubbing her eyes.

“Good morning. Come here Isabell, Kiwari, Mei!” Ariel said to them while waving at them.

“Morning Seji. Morning everyone.” Alec said.

“Good morning.” I replied.

“Oh, Kiwari, you were here too? When you came back?” Egan asked.

“Hey, Egan. Yesterday evening.” Kiwari replied.

“Hey Emilia.” I said.

“Hello brothers.” Emilia replied.

“Oh, Emilia come. Sit.” Egan said.

“I’ll again take his breakfast up stairs.” Isabell said.

“Oh, Alright.” Serina said and brought everyone breakfast. It was eggs and other stuff this time.Nonetheless, it was delicious as always.

We right dig into it.

We were eating breakfast.

“Hey, Alec and Mei. We are going on a quest. And then visiting City of Glouester.” I said.

“Oh, WHAT!?” They said shockingly.

“Eh, didn’t I told you guys?” I asked.

“No! You didn’t.” Alec replied.

“You should have told us last night.” Mei said.

“My bad I forgot.” I said and chuckled a little.

“It’s alright. I can manage.” Mei replied.

“So can I.” Alec said.

“Then let’s go. Eat up. It will be long quest. Put your spare cloths in bag.” I said and continued to eat.

“Alright.” Alec said.

“Mhm.” Mei replied.

After a while we finish eating.

“I’ll go wear my cloths and put extra in your bag.” Mei said to me.

“I go get ready too.” Alec said.

“Alright. I’m waiting here.” I said.

They went upstairs.

A door opens and someone is holding a box. Looks like a parcel for someone.

“Master, it’s for you.” Serina said.

“Put it in my room please.” Master said.

“Sure!” Serina replied and went to put in his room. And came back.

“Oh, Seji big brother. Are you wearing new cloths?” Emilia asked.

“Yes, Emilia.” I replied.

“Whaaa! They look awesome!” Emilia said.

“Looks cool man.” Egan said.

“Yea.” Rune said.

“It's fine.” Reiz said.

“Pretty nice!” Ariel said.

“I liked that last night one more.” Mei said.

“Yea, that was better.” Ariel said.

“Probably.” I replied.

“Both look cool.” Alec said.

Alec and Mei were also wearing their new cloths.

“You guys look cool too.” I said.

“Thanks!” Mei replied.

“Thank you.” Alec said.

We finish breakfast.

“Seji. I want to talk with you alone. Come with me.” Master said.

“Okay.” I said and went with master in his room.

“Listen, About a fairy watching over Alec and tampering his memories. I have deployed Emilia but so far, she haven’t seen anything.” Master said.

“When did you even tell her?” I asked.

“When I told you guys to go back to guild house. I woke up Emilia and filled her in about the fairy. She’s on the look out for the fairy. So, that no one of you could hear us. But, so far, she haven’t found anything.” Master said.

“I see. But, can she find?” I asked.

“Her abilities are sharp. Don’t doubt her skills. She was even following you all when you were shopping in the city.” Master said.

“Really?! None of us noticed.” I replied.

“Yea, because I told her not to reveal herself.” Mater said.

“I see.” I replied.

“And here.” Master said and went to open the box which came before.

“Here! I got it. Duh! It’s small one though.” Master said while holding some big round crystal in his hand.

“What’s that? Gramps.” I asked.

“It’s a Magic crystal. I told you I didn’t got one before right? But, now I have one. I had told that old witch to send one if she gets by this morning and she sent.” Master said.

“What it does?” I asked.

“It’s a communication crystal. But, it’s a small one. Can only be used Four times or so.” Master said.

“How does it work?” I asked.

“You see, Serina’s desk had another big crystal. It’s used for communication with other guilds and for other emergencies. Those Crystal are very powerful, And can be used for more than a thousand times. But, our one broke. So, we were using small ones, until I get hands on other big one. So, witch sent me two of this type. One is big one, which we will put at Serina's desk and other small one, you can carry.” Master said.

"But what will I do with that?” I asked master.

“Well, you never know when you might need. So have this. Just enchant these words, ‘Wisdom of Elements.’ And you will be connected to our big magic circle.” Master said.

“I see. That could be handy I guess.” I said.

“By the way, are you going by walking? Or horse cart?” Master asked.

“Not sure, probably horse cart.” I said.

“Well, that will take time you know. Why not go by flying? A simple air spell, and you can reach there fast.” Master said.

“That’s a good idea actually. We will go by flying then.” I said.

“Yea, and it will be faster.” Master said.

“Thank you for the things, Master. But, let’s go down and wait for them. I go put these in my bag. I lost my last map.” I said to master and went in my room.

“Okay, I’m down stairs.” Master said and took out big magic circle from box and went down.

I’m in my room, and I see Alec and Mei putting cloths in bag.

“Done?” I ask.

“Almost.” Mei said.

“I’m done though.” Alec said.

“Let me see.” I said and helped Mei to put cloths. I left crystal on the top of cloths in bag. So, it won’t break. And put map in the side pocket and compass in my pant’s pocket.

“What's that seji?” Alec asked.

“A Magic crystal for communication with guild. Master is being extra careful. I don’t think we will need to even use that.” I said.

“We can’t be sure, seji.” Mei said.

“That’s true.” I said, and we went down picking up bag. It was of course heavier. But, I managed and go downstairs.

“Oh, you guys are here. Here’s your quest.” Master said and handed me Quest paper.

“Thanks Master.” I said.

“Good luck then.” Master said.

“Thank you!” Mei replied.

“Good luck big brother! And everyone.” Emilia said.

“Awe, thanks Emilia. We will be back and then I’ll tell you stories from my world okay?” I said.

“Good luck newbies.” Ella said while being drunk in the morning.

“Thank you. Let’s go.” I said.

“See ya!” Egan and others said.

We head out of guild's gate and walk towards the South gate of capital.

We were walking that a Royal Horse cart was coming towards us. Look’s like the prince is here.

The cart had red curtains attached to its sides and we continued walking.

It was a windy day. The Prince of Niuinaire had arrived early in the capital. The new Princess was also visiting Galaheim for the first time. Unknowingly, Seji passes by the Royal Horse cart. The wind even blows the curtain of Horse cart, But, Fate was already decided. Seji, didn’t look inside the Horse cart and just walked towards his destination. He just passed by his beloved, Reina. Neither Reina saw his face...
