I bring out map and look for directions. It was South of The capital.

We see directions and get ready for the flying.

And we flew toward the destination.

We went floating in the air towards a new adventure.

We were flying with birds and enjoying the view.

“Wow! The view is so beautiful from here.” Mei said.

“Yea.” Alec said.

“Yea, it's beautiful. I wish, my family could see this. Wonder how they are.” I said in a low tone.

“Awe, Seji. They should be fine. Believe in them.” Mei said and continued, “By the way, If we find out that another adventure have been teleported from your world, what good that could do? I wanted to ask you this from sometime now.” Mei said.

“I don’t know. Maybe I’ll have some hope of returning, or knowing how was I got here.” I said.

“I see. Let’s go faster then.” Mei said.

We increased our speed.

After sometime, We see some brown colored monsters below us.

“What are they?” I asked.

“They are monsters. And wait...” Alec said.

“What?” I asked.

“There's a kid!” Alec said in shock.

“Where?” Mei asked.

“Look! Over there.” Alec said.

“Oh! Yea, I can see him hiding behind the tree.” Mei said.

“Maybe he’s playing hide-and-seek.” I said.

“No, Monsters aren’t friendly with anyone." Mei said.

“Shall we help?” Alec asked.

“Yea, let’s go. Priority save kid. Alec grab kid and fly again.” I said.

“Alright!” They replied, and we went straight to monsters.

“DARK SPEAR!” I enchanted and dark spears came out of ground and pierced through Monsters.

“You there. Come with us.” Alec said to kid and grabbed him.

“What are you people doing? Let me go!!” Kid shouted.

Monsters just died with one attack. They are truly weak monsters.

I fly back to Alec and Mei.

“Yo, what you were doing down there?” I asked to kid.

“They...They....THEY KILLED MY PARENTS....LET ME GO I’LL KILL THEM!” Kid shouted and started crying.

I look at Mei, She got upset looking at him.

Seeing him cry I sighed and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Arkal.” He replied.

I went close and put my hand on his head.

“It's fine. Everybody loses something precious. But, that doesn’t mean that we should ignore what we have left. Tell me where your home is, we will drop you.” I said to him.

He looks at me with teary eyes and started crying.

That was just line I read in manga, but it works I guess.

“It's fine. Tell us your home.” I said.

“We were summoned to Village Verona to kill some monsters, Can you tell us how far is it.” Mei said.

“You can trust us.” Alec said.

“I’m from Village Verona.” He said.

“Oh, Take us there.” I said.

“That way.” He said and pointed out to the direction we were going before we stopped to help him.

“Okay! Let’s go.” I said, and we headed towards Village.

In a minute or so, we see the village below.

We landed properly.

“Alright, Tell us Where we can find, hmm..” I take out the quest paper to see the quest issuer.

“Hmm... what is this written, btefyud? What kind of name is that? But anyway, who’s btefyud?” I asked.

“Uh??” Their faces went blank.

“Can I see the quest paper? seji” Mei asked.

“Sure.” I said.

Mei presses my feet.

“IT's STEFRED! Stefred Carloe.” Mei shouted.

“Ouch! At least I got E and D right. Jeez.” I said.

“Stefred” Arkal said.

“Oh, You don’t know him?” I asked.

“No, I know him well, He’s my Grandfather after all.” Arkal replied.

“Wait what?!” We said.

“Yes, Anything wrong with that?” He asked.

“No, That make things easier for us actually.” I said.

“Can you guide us?” Mei asked.

“Okay.” He said and guided us to his house.

After a minute of walk, we reach the house. And he knocks on the door.

“Coming.” A voice came from inside the house.

“Is this the house?” I asked.

“Yes.” Arkal replied.

A man opens the door. He looks in his late 50's considering he has a grandson of 9 or 10 year that’s pretty young, probably. He was wearing normal cloths as everyone. But, His hair and beard was white.

“Are you Mr Stefred?” I asked.

“Yes, I am. And who might you be?” Stefred replied.

“Grandpa!” The kid said and hugged his grandfather.

“Where were you? Arkal.” Stefred asked.

“I was at... Umm... Pla-" Arkal was speaking But, I said, “He was hunting down monsters.”

“Oh, Arkal! I have told you many times! Don’t do this kind of dangerous stuff!” Stefred old man said.

“It's fine. He was angry.” I said.

“NO! It’s not! Arkal doesn’t know much magic spells and can barely protect himself. How is it safe for him to kill monsters?” Stefred said.

“Ah, well, you have a point. But, still let it go.” I said.

“No! This time you people saw him. If you hadn’t I wonder what wicked happening might have taken place.” Stefred said.

“Jeez Old man, Fine. Tell us where are the monsters. We will deal with them as you issued in quest.” I said.

“It's outside the village's wall. To south, a few minute walk, and you can see their nest." He said.

“Ah, where we picked up your grandson. I see.” I said.

“YOU WERE AT THEIR NEST?!” Stefred shouted.

“Sorry Grandfather! I won’t do it again." Arkal apologized.

“Anyway, Tell me whole story first.” I asked.

“Some days ago, Monsters attacked and put village on fire. Many people died in that fire. Including my son and his wife...” Stefred said in sorrow.

“I am sorry for the loss but, tell me about these monsters.” I asked,

“I don’t know much about them. But, I guess these are known as Boulder Orcs. They aren't intelligent unlike their other related races." He said.

“I see. Killing them won't put anyone at disadvantage then. How they reproduce?” I asked.

“Ew! You are into that kind of stuff too? Gwahhh" Mei said while throwing up.

“No! For God’ sake! I’m asking coz I want to know how fast they reproduce and how intelligent they are to make families.” I said.

“That’s a better reasoning.” Alec said.

“I don’t trust you...” Mei said.

“I’ll kill you brat.” I said.

“*Ahem-Ahem* They reproduce when they want. I’m not sure about families. But, most likely they don't. And also, if they have an Orc as leader, that means they are strong.” Stefred said.

“Alright. That’s enough. I just wanted to make sure before I punch them to a mess.” I said.

“I’ll come too.” Arkal said.

“No, stay here.” I replied.

“Fine.” Arkal said.

We started walking out of the village.

“Why did you asked if they make families? Seji.” Alec asked.

“You see, Uh, it’s tough to explain so never mind. I’ll tell when time comes. ” I explained to them.

“Fine.” Alec said.

“Monsters are bad. That’s what we are told. They kill us and we kill them.” Mei said.

“Most likely to be true.” I said.

As we were walking I hear someone in bushes behind us.

“Who’s there?” I asked.

No reply came.

“What happened seji?” Mei asked.

“Someone is following us.” Alec said.

“Yeah.” I replied.

“Oh.” Mei said.

“Take fighting stance. WHO's THERE? I’ll repeat once more, if no reply. I’ll burn you up.” I said.

“EHHH! DON’T BURN ME!! “ Arkal came out shouting.

“Why are you here, kid?” I asked him.

“I want to fight to.” He said.

“What’s strongest magic you know?” I sat down to him and asked.

“I can light a stick, and it burns!” He said.

“I see. One more question. Can you see them getting killed? Can you see blood spitting out of living animals?” I asked.

“Yes, I can!” He replied confidently.

“Really?” I asked.

“YES!” He said while nodding his head.

“Hmm, I see. Punching you won't do anything. And I don’t know how they can make you lose consciousness with karate chop either. If I tell you to go back, it will be risky.” I said.

“You can’t be serious about taking him with us?!” Mei said in shock.

“I am. Just cover his eyes. And if anything goes wrong. We will carry him and fly.” I said.

“How about we just burst their nest all at once?” Alec asked.

“That’s a good plan. But I want to investigate. A person might be still alive.” I said.

“Sure, you will find a person in there nest now.” Mei said mockingly.

“I see, As you say, Seji.” Alec said.

“Let’s continue.” I said.

“He seems dead serious right now.” Arkal said to Mei and Alec in low voice.

“Yea, I can confirm he is.” Alec replied.

“I can confirm too. He’s serious but not mad. If he was mad, I bet he would have blown away whole nest.” Mei said.

“Yea, he’s reckless. But, caring as well.” Alec said.

“Yea..” Mei replied.

“He sounds good.” Arkal said.

“I think this is the nest?” I said.

“Yes.” Arkal confirmed the nest.

It was like a cave. But not a cave at the same time. It was Cave, which was made by them. Like a mine.

“Alec, Light it up.” I said.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

“Okay.” Alec said and snaps his finger and a Light orb appears in front of him.

“Guide us.” I said.

“Alright.” Alec replied.

“Arkal. Stay in between me and Mei.” I said to Arkal.

“Okay.” Arkal replied, and we started walking in triangular form. So, That me and Mei can cover from right and left, while, Alec can cover the front. But, our back had the lowest defense. Hopefully, nothing appears from back.

We were walking. Alec saw some Orcs in broken wall, possible a new way they were trying to make or a room? They were standing with their spears. They were brown colored and around 5 feet (1.52 m) tall each.

“1..2..3..4... 4 in total in that room like thing.”

“Let’s take them all at once.” I said and enchanted, “Dark spears.”

Dark spears appear from the ground and pierce right through them.

“huh!?!?!!?!” Arkal was shocked and was going to scream. I put my hand on his mouth, so he doesn’t scream.

“Silence, Arkal.” I said.

He was terrified.

“OAHUQJAKKKKKKK" Orcs screamed.

Arkal starts breathing heavily.

“Listen. Relax.” I said to him but he won’t listen.

Other orcs start to gather. I had undone the spell right when spears pierced through. Two Orcs pick up the dead orc bodies on their shoulders and take them somewhere else. While two were walking right beside them.

“Mei, control blood and kill them all. We still don’t know how many of them are here.” I said to Mei.

“I hate being a vampire! Can’t you kill them with dark spear again?” Mei said in whimper.

“If I miss a single one, they will inform the other orcs. But, we can separate work, you kill the ones who are carrying dead bodies, while I will kill the ones who are walking." I said to Mei.

“Okay.” Mei said.

We went into the room, I had picked up Arkal on my back. But he was still terrified. Mei put her fingers in the blood which as spilled on floor. It was still wet, and Soil hadn’t soaked it yet. Mei licks the blood from her finger.

Her eyes go blank, without pupil, and her canine teeth became sharp.

“Blood control Magic: Absolute Destruction." Mei enchanted.

The blood came out of the bodies at a high pressure and cut the heads of all orcs.

“What the...” I said in shock.

“That’s some serious vampire power.” Alec said.

Arkal starts breathing more heavily.

“I couldn’t control blood well. Rune told me many things, one of them was, if can’t control. Just let it go wild in all direction. Though I didn’t expectd that to be this strong.” Mei said.

“Listen Arkal. Don’t be scared. We are with you. Okay. This is why I asked you, if you could see the blood.” I said.

“It was a mistake to bring child in here.” Alec said.

“Yeah..” Mei replied.

“Y-Y-" I was going to speak that I look at Arkal, and he was looking down. Just hearing us. Maybe, he thinks. He’s a weakling.

it was a mistake, indeed to bring a child with us.

“No, Not really. He’s fine. He’s fearless enough to face them all on his own before. If I was a kid of his age I wouldn’t even bother with this. I would be just crying in a corner.” I said.

He starts looking up. And said, “B-but you are so strong.”

“Who said? I couldn’t land a punch properly on our Master. If he was here, or Egan or even Reiz were here, they would have completed this quest by now.” I said.

“What is your guild?” He asked.

“The Elemental. We are just newbies there.” Alec said.

“Yep. But, when you are older a bit, just in case, you want to be Adventurer. Come join us anytime.” I said to Arkal.

“Su-r-e. But, will I be accepted there?” He asked.

“Yeah, they accepted me, why won’t they accept you?” I asked.

“Coz I’m weak.” He said.

“I already said you are not. And they accepted me, won’t they accept you too then?” I said.

“Mhm.. Elemental. II’ll remember that.” He said.

He looks cheerful now.

“Yea, But one more thing, don’t be scared now. Okay?” I said to him.

“Yes.” He replied.

“Good, we can go now.” I said and take him off my back.

We were going to walk further in dungeon, but Mei said, “Wait, let me get some blood.”

“Eh, how are you going to do that?” I asked.

“Rune had given me some pouches.” Mei said.

“And why’s that?” I asked.

“Just in case, if Enemy is tough to get blood from, he carries some extra blood. And he gave me some pouches for that.” Mei said.

“I see.” I replied.

“That’s clever.” Alec said.

“Let’s go. We have to reach Glouester before dusk.” I said.

We started walking further in the dungeon.

The dungeon have two routes now.

“Now what? Seji?” Alec asked me.

“I don’t know. Splitting up, might put us to disadvantage. Orcs look weak, But, Still. I don’t want to take any chances.” I said.

“But, it would be faster.” Mei said.

“And do you know exact strength of Orcs?” I asked.

“From the looks of it, they look weaker than even than Orip.” Mei said.

“Wrong. Never underestimate your enemy.” I said.

“Fine. What can get worse. We will meet an Orc army or something?” Mei said while throwing tantrum.

“Who knows. Let’s go in right one first.” I said.

We went in the right way first. The cave had an opening, we could see it from the light.

“Let’s go fast.” I said, and we started running towards opening.

“Slow down now.” We are a few meters away from Opening, but we can see outside clearly.

We hide behind the rock and I try to look outside.

We see a Big orc with some kind of tattoos and feathers on his head. He looks like leader of these Orcs. And other orcs were making different weapons, and some were cutting trees. Seems like there are something 50 or so Orcs.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“That’s probably a Great Orc. The Leader of Orcs is known as Great Orc.” Mei said.

“I see.” I said.

He looked like any other Boulder Orc, but was twice the height.

“If this leads to outside. What does other route leads to?” I asked myself.

“Let’s check it out?” Alec said.

“No, now we are here. Let’s take care of them. Arkal, Hide behind a rock. And don't come out until I tell you to. I said.

“Yes.” He said and hid himself behind the rocks.

Me, Mei and Alec walk out of the Entrance.

They pick up weapons and take there fighting stances.

“Yo, Did you guys lit the village on fire?” I asked.

Orcs started muttering.

Great orc ordered his underlings to lower their weapons.

We couldn't understand what they were saying.

I lowered my fighting stance too. I though, Great orc will speak something. Great Orc comes closer, seems like he will talk.

But, instead he punched me in my stomach and I went flying and hit the outer wall of cave with my right side of body.

“SEJI!” Mei shouted.

“I go heal. You take care of these, Mei.” Alec said.

“FALLING GLACIER!” Mei enchanted and Big sharp Ice spikes fell on orcs. Only a few survived. The number reduced drastically! But, Still, they were around 40 or so.

“Seji, you alright.” Alec asked.

“Yea, I am. Just a little healing will work. But, I heard a glass shatter in bag. SHIT!!” I said and tried to stand up.

“Let me heal you. BLACK FLAMES!” Alec enchanted.

“EH!! YOU ARE TRYING TO BURN ME!?!” I said in shock.

“No! Just lay silent.” Alec said.

“But, you're burning me. AHHH IT HURTS!” I shouted.

“No, seji. It’s almost as hot as your body.” Alec said.

“Ah, really?” I touch the flame and notice Alec is saying truth.

“Yes.” Alec said.

“Ah, Yea. It’s not hot at all.” I said.

“Here, that’s all I can do.” Alec said.

“Thanks Man. That’s better.” I was just saying that I notice my shirt and jacket from my Arm were ripped off.

“ARGGG!! My shirt! It was new. I didn’t even bring a spare Jacket!!” I said.

“Can you worry about cloths later?! I’m here fighting.” Mei said while keeping her distance from Orcs.

“Sure. And now, Alec Half of Orcs are your. Mei, half are your. And Great Orc is mine. He needs to pay back now.” I said.

“Alright. Yes.” Mei and Alec said.

“Let me, put my bag off. It’s a bother.” I said and wore off my bag and put it near the Entrance.

Alec went near Mei and diverged some orcs to himself while other were attacking Mei.

Great Orc was just standing.

“You are mine.” I said while cracking my knuckles.

I rush towards Great Orc.

“WIND PUSH X10" I enchant and jump in air towards his face.

Great orc tries to squash me in between his hands. If he catches me, I’m done for.

“WIND PUSH" I again enchant and fly higher than his hands reach.

“Soaring Wind.” I enchant and fly in air.

“DARK SPEARS!!” I shouted and dark spear. He used his arms to defend his body! Dark spears pierce through his arms. But! He’s still standing!!

I break the spell! It didn’t had any effect.

Great Orc screams a little, But, dirt from ground below started to crawl up to his arms!

His arms got regenerated!

“MAGIC SKIN!” I enchant and Mana covers my body, providing a Armour and then it disappears.

Mana skin might look like it’s disappeared, Instead it just takes Skin color. Even though my mana is black its till works like normal spell.

Mei and Alec were taking it slow for fighting with Orcs.

Maybe, Mei needs sometime between her vampire spells. It must take a lot of Mana.

“I’m going to finish you off now.” I said.

“WIND PUSH X50” I enchant and rush towards him flying, I just use punch.

Great Orc tries to attack me by raising his right arm.

I miss his stomach, But, I hit him from side. It puts a deep cut on right side of his waist.

Blood bursts out of the wound.

“Did it do it?” I asked myself.

The Great Orc stood still for some seconds and then the dirt again crawls up to the wound, and it disappears again!

It moves again. It turned back and tried to attack me!!

I dodge back, he tore my jacket from front, I get a cut across my chest.

It’s not deep! But, still a little blood comes out.

“Tch!”

HAAA!! I rush towards him and jump over him!

I shout, “DARK SPEARS!!”

Orc brings his arms again to protect himself.

“BLAST AWAY!!!” I used same magic which Master was using on me. Since it’s simple to understand it was easy to execute as well.

I surround him with explosions!

“DARK SPEAR!!” I shouted to attack him with dark spears while being surrounded by explosions.

Dirt was in the air because of explosions. I couldn’t see through cloud of dirt.

The dirt cloud disappears and he was still standing!!

The Ice blocks which Mei used before to kill goblins were starting to melt, since she left them without breaking the spell. looks like, if we don't break spell it continues to work as normal element. The water reaches Ground below Great Orc, he immediately moved from there!

“It might be a gamble, But, I’m going to do it!” I said and shouted, “WATER TSUNAMI!!”

The same spell, Which Orip's Sidekicks used back then they attacked us.

But, It’s more powerful. But, still only 10 or 12 feet (3.66 m) tall! Nothing compared to Master’s spell.

The water flows towards Great Orc at a faster speed. Water countered his Earth Magic Ability heavily!!

And he gets weakened, since all the ground is wet too! Looks like he can’t heal either now.

The Orc is sitting on his knees waiting for a final blow.

“Alec, Mei. Use Water Magic! They weak against it!” I shouted to Mei and Alec.

They look and nodded with head.

““Light sword, Appear before me.” Alec enchants and light sword appears in his hand.

Alec runs towards Orcs, “One, Two, Three....”.

Killing them one by one. Ripping off heads of Orcs. He’s so fast with sword, eyes can barely keep up with it.

“WRATH OF WATER!” Mei shouted and controlled Water waves to hit Orcs.

It’s same spell which Master used against Egan! But again it's not that powerful.

Mei uses water waves to hit all the Orcs!!

Water renders them useless and they barely can do anything.

Mei takes a sip from the blood she collected before from orcs.

Her eyes again go black and her canine teeth sharpens up!

Mei makes a small soldier of blood and sends him to blend into an Orc's blood.

That Orc's eyes go blank just like Mei.

“BLOOD CONTROL: PUPPETING!” Mei enchanted and snapped her finger.

She puppets the Orc to stand up and kill other Orcs.

Orc stands up, blood was bursting out of his body. Other Orcs are confused what happened, Mei makes the Orc kill other Orcs. The Orc Mei was controlling had already loosened up consciousness because of blood loss at this point. As the Orc hit other Orcs, his own body started to crumble. It was due to her incomplete blood control magic.

Meanwhile,

“Now. Dark spear, May you Rest in Peace.” I said and a dark spear came from ground and pierced through him in middle.

And it dies.

I walk to Mei and Alec.

“How was hunt?” I asked them.

“It was pretty great.” Mei said.

“You are a monster." I said.

I’m just a pretty little lady.” Mei said.

“Sure. Anyway, How was your hunt, Alec?” I asked Alec.

“It went fine, I guess.” Alec replied.

“That’s good. Let’s go back now.” I said.

“Where’s Arkal?” Alec asked.

“He was hiding after that rock.” I said while pointing out to the rock.

“I’m here!” Arkal shouted.

“That’s better. Let’s check other route.” I said and picked up my bag.

We started walking back to where other route was.

“You guys were amazing back there.” Arkal said.

“Not really. Great Orc gave me a problem. Kind off at least.” I said.

“I was fine.” Mei said.

“So was I.” Alec said.

“Yea, You people are monsters yourselves.” I said.

We reach the other route and started walking inside it.

It wasn’t long as the other one.

There was an Orc in room. But only one.

” Light Sword! Appear before me.” Alec enchanted and got a light sword. He went and cut the head of Orc.

Blood spills.

The Orc was looking at something, The something was Human remains...

“What the...” I said in shock.

Mei covers Arkal's eyes.

“They really ate humans.” Alec said.

“No regrets killing them at least now. But, that’s disgusting.” I said.

“Yea...” Mei said in sorrow.

“Let’s head back.” I said and we head out of dungeon.

I’ve seen in games and anime when adventures try to leave something comes. But, I guess we were lucky enough not to get anything.

“We made it out. Let’s fly to village again.” I said, and we flew to village again.

Mei was breathing heavily while flying. Maybe's she used too much mana.

I help Mei flying by putting her arm across my shoulder and lifting her weight. Since, Alec was picking up Arkal I had to do this.

“Thanks, seji." Mei said while blushing.

“I just don’t want you to fall. If you hit your head and forgot us then what will happen! You are a little brat after all, you get hurt easily!” I said to Mei mocking her.

“I’ll kill you.” Mei said while punching in my belly.

“O-o-h M-y. Th-at h-urts.” I said while in pain.

“Who told you to call me brat.” Mei said.

Alec and Arkal start laughing.

“Ahahaha! Poor seji.” Alec said.

“Ahahaha! “ Arkal laughed.

“We are in village. Let’s go down.”

We land in village.

“You can walk brat?” I asked Mei.

“Most likely, I can.” Mei said.

“Alright, let’s get to Head's house for money.” I said, and we head to Village Head's house.

We reached there and knocked on the door. Old man Stefred opens the door and welcomes us.

“Oh! You guys are back! Did you kill the monster?” Stefred asked.

“Yes, We did.” I said.

“Grandpa! They were amazing! They killed them.” Arkal said while hugging Stefred again.

“OH GOD! DID YOU AGAIN RAN AFTER THEM?!” Stefred said in shock.

“Yes, he did. But, don’t worry. We made sure he wasn’t harm. At least physically.” Mei said.

“May we get the pay so, we can leave? We have to reach Glouester after this.” Alec said.

“Oh Yea, that too. And I need to report to Master about quest. I hope it’s not broken. But, I did hear a glass breaking sound.” I said.

“Check it.” Alec said.

“Hope so.” Mei said.

“Come inside. Have a little drink then you will feel replenished.” Stefred said.

“I don’t drink.” I said.

“No-No, You have mistaken me. I meant come have a little tea with us.” Stefred said.

“Oh tea, sure.” I said.

“That will be good actually.” Mei said.

“Okay! But, Make it fast please!” I said, and we went inside.

We sat on couches and Old lady brought Tea for us all. We drank it, and Old man Stefred brought money with quest paper.

“Here, 300 Rugen as requested.” Stefred said.

“Oh. Just 300? Well, I guess nest wasn’t written.” I said.

“We need to play more?” Stefred said while being worried.

“Nah, that’s fine. Works.” I said and took the money and got quest paper which was stamped.

“Let me check in bag.” I said and started looking in bag for crystal if it was broken or not.

“Oh look, Crystal is fine!” Mei said in joy.

“Oh Yea! Thank god!” I said.

“Wew! That was close." Alec said.

“Yeah. But, wait.” I said and checked my pockets.

It had broken glass.

“This glass. I guess, compass broke not crystal.” I said.

“That’s a relief.” Alec said.

“Yea, let’s contact Master.” Mei said.

“What were the enchantment words?” I asked.

“How would we know? You talked to Master all alone!” Mei said.

“Do you remember a little bit?” Alec asked.

“Yea, a little.” I said.

“What was that?” Alec asked.

“Um, Wisdom of Something.” I said.

“Wisdom of Soul? Fire? Water? Light?” Mei said.

“Uh, Don’t think so.” I said.

“Was it related to guild?” Alec asked.

"I guess.” I said.

“Wisdom of Elemental?” Alec asked me.

“Oh yea! Wisdom of Element.” I said remembering the words.

I put my hands on Crystal and enchant, “Wisdom of Elements!”

The crystal shines and we can see Guild hall. It was silent again. But, Serina comes to attend the call.

“Hey, Serina. Where’s Master?” I asked.

“Hey, you guys! Did you finish quest?” Serina asked.

“Yes, we did finish quest.” Mei said.

“It was a Boulder Orc Nest. But we managed.” Alec said.

“Ahh! That’s great to hear. Master isn’t here. The prince is in the City, and Master is gone go Royal Palace.” Serina said.

“Ahh, I see. Anyway, We are heading towards Glouester now.” I said.

“It’s noon. You people should be there in some 30 or some more minutes.” Serina said.

“Yeah, Alright then, we are off to Glouester. Once we are done there. I’ll contact.” I said.

“See ya!” Mei said.

“Bye.” Alec said.

“Bye-Bye! Good luck!” Serina replied and cut the call.

Guess, that’s how they do video calls in this world.

Mei's stomach makes noises. Maybe she’s hungry.

“Should we prepare food for you Heroes?” Stefred asked.

“No, it’s fine. Just tell me the nearest Restaurant.” I asked.

“There's none. But, a stall is there around the corner of second block.” Stefrsd said.

“That works. And one more favor, can I change my cloths in a room?” I asked.

“Oh Yea, sure. Go use that room.” Stefred said, and I went into the room.

The room was arranged well. With a mirror. I got my yukata out.

I just wore off my jacket and got yukata on without wearing off my shirt and pant.

“I guess, I didn’t need a room after all.” I said to myself and picked up my bag. I saw a box locked. It was dusty and only odd thing in the room.

“Why would they put a dusty box out in the room?” I asked myself.

“Seji!! Come I’m hungry!!” Mei shouted.

“Coming!” I said.

“Well, I guess never mind. Their house, their arrangement, why do I need to check it.” I said to myself and walked out picking up my bag.

“Duh! Let’s go fast!!” Mei said.

“For sure.” I said, and we started to head out.

“You heroes are welcomed in village anytime you want to visit.” Stefred said.

“Yea! We will be waiting. And I’ll join your guild too!” Arkal said.

“I’ll be waiting. See ya.” I said.

“See you people some other time!” Alec said.

“May we meet again!” Mei said.

We head out after saying good by to them.

We head to the food stall Stefred told us. A minute walk, and we reached the stall.

“I guess, that’s that.” I said.

“Yeah, let’s go in.” Mei said.

“I'm hungry too.” Alec said, and we went and sat on the stools below the curtains.

It was a Ramen to me.

“3 Bowl please.” I asked.

Arkal was again following us. He followed us here.

“4 please!” Arkal said.

“Oh, Jeez. You again out without telling your grandfather?” I asked Arkal.

“Yeah, coz I wanted to eat noodles.” Arkal said.

“For sure.” I said.

“Anyway, what are you going to do now?” Arkal asked.

“Going to Glouester. You see, I’m not from this world. I came by mistake I guess.” I said.

“I’m child, but not that stupid.” He replied.

“For sure.” The chef said and brought Four bowls of Ramen.

We started eating.

“Yea, not stupid. Following adventurers to dungeon isn’t stupid. Alright.” I said.

“I wanted to avenge.” He said with anger.

“That’s why I let you with us. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have.” I said.

“Mhm.” He said.

We eat it. It was tasty.

“That was great. How much is the price, sir.” I asked.

“200 Rugen.” Chef said.

“Here.” I handed money.

“Here, 50 rugen for mine.” Arkal said.

“It's fine. Keep it. Let’s say, treat on me. But, think rational from next time. Always look at yourself before heading towards enemy. Reckless and stupid are two different things alright?” I told him while patting his head with a smile.

“Sure! I’ll remember it.” He replied in joy.

“See ya. I’ll meet you, when we come back from Glouester tomorrow.” I said to him.

“Wait! At least teach me a spell to protect myself.” Arkal asked me.

“Well, I’m damn lazy to teach coz I’ll have to stand up and explain, So, just watch. See that tree over there?” I asked him.

“Yes, I can see.” Arkal replied.

“Dark spear.” I enchant and make a big hole in tree.

Chef was surprised by the magic.

“See that hole? Keep practicing. Until your, fire magic can make that big hole.” I said to him.

“Alright. Thank you! See you!!” He said.

“Oh, Also can I ask which direction we need to head to reach Glouester?” I asked chef.

“Go to uh... North of my shop.” He said.

“Oh, thank you. Alright then. Ready you guys?” I asked Mei and Alec.

“We are. Let’s go!” Mei said.

“Soaring wind!” I enchant and flied towards the destination.

NEXT CHAPTER:

We reach guild house. The union door opens!

"It's you." I said.

"You followed me here too?" Dymnix said.

"Oh yeah? I wanted to punch sh-t outta you, now you are in front of me." I said in rage.

"CELESTIAL ORBIT!!"

"THE BLAES OF SEVERING TIME!"
