Chapter 3

"What a loser..." I watched his back as he left my house. Gods, Kanno really sucks. All he had to do is get some stupid herbs in the forest, it's not like he's gonna put his life on the line. So lame, unlike Lark. He's so handsome and dependable. Kanno, meh. He's just average. Black eyes and hair, his face is kinda okay buttt, he is a shorty. I'm almost taller than him, who would date a midget like that. His only saving grace is that he is a funny guy.

"Well, at least he tried to help. I should have at least accepted the herbs. Whatever, knowing Kanno he will probably sell them haha." I smiled a bit as I entered my house.

The first thing I did after waking up is to piss, obviously, then I opened an old chest and retrieved a thick book. The paper used is from the fibers of pairus tree and the cover is made of thick leather. I began scribbling on it, recalling everything I did yesterday. Yes this is my gods damned diary. Even though my hobby is a bit on the girlish side, I'm still proud of it. Perks of being literate I say, also I feel inteligent just by writing random shit down.

After I finished writing I placed it back on the chest and ate breakfast. You guessed it, bread and cheese again. Man I fucking love cheese. I sat for a while, waiting for my meal to settle down. I napped there for a bit, like an hour or so. I'm not sure though because I dont own a watch or clock. My wounds feel a bit itchy so I decided to take a bath then change my bandages. I took a set of fresh clothes and some strips of clean cloth then I left my house.

"Kanno, how's it going." The weather today is nice, I feel like going on a picnic. I hummed and nodded to myself. "Hey Kanno!" Maybe I can go back to the forest to collect more herbs? But I wont go deep this time, I'm still sore all over and also my left leg is not functioning properly. "HEY MAN!" But still, I need to go to the nearest trading city if I want to sell my herbs. I almost lost my life to mere goblins. I cant imagine going on a trip by myself. Yep, absolutely impossible.

"KANNO! YOU LIMP MOTHERFU-"

"WHADIDJASAYHUH!?" I turned abruptly and smacked the offender right on his face. "Ooops! Sorry Kevin I did not see you there." Kevin, my oh so annoying childhood friend glared at me as he rubbed his now swollen cheeks. "Fuck you Kanno, I was literally next to you! Did not see my ass!" He snapped at me. 

"Easy there Kevs, you wont be popular with girls if you let a bit of playfulness get to you." I told him as I sported a look of pity. As far as I know, Kevin never mentioned having a lover before.

"Fuck you Kanno, as if you have it better compared to me. So what happened to you anyways, you look like a bear mauled you." Kevin said as he eyed my injuries.

"Stupid, you think I will survive after a bear attack? I told you yesterday that Amy needs some herbs right? I went to the forest to gather some but got attacked by goblins after I went too deep. I killed all 4 of them but as what you can see they also fucked me up badly." I explained to him.

"Shit, that's scary. But you managed to kill them right? You should go to a city to get an appraisal. Anyways, where are you going exactly? And what happened to the herbs you collected?" He asked me while looking at my baggage. "I'm going to take a bath in the river. Dont you dare take a peek you perverted deviant." I snapped at him while I did my best 'covering-yourself-up-after-someone-accidentally-stumbled-into-you-while-bathing' impression. "Maybe I should just drown you in the river..." Kevin said as he looked at me with his dead fish eyes. Man he really cant take a joke. Poor Kevin.
