"So, this your leader?" The woman said looking somewhat disappointed after he saw Akatosh eating like a horse.

"Ah… it's not what he seems to be." Sheila says defending Akatosh.

A while ago, while Akatosh was sleeping leisurely. Sheila slowly calms and persuades the woman. It was slow but Sheila's kind words coax her.

"Who are you and where am I!" Says the woman who looks somewhat terrified after waking up.

To Sheila's surprise, she kept her will of composure and calmly talks her way out. "It's… okay, wherein a tent. We found you collapse and wounded so we abet you with our help."

She was stopped by Sheila's words checking her injuries if she's telling the truth. To her surprise, the major wound was gone and no scars were to be seen. Her apprehension gradually diminishes. And after seeing her unwind, Sheila starts to remove the rope tighten around her hand.

"I-I thank you." She mutters unable to say a word.

"It wasn't me you should be thanking. It was Akatosh who help you and without him, we wouldn't still be alive" Sheila says shakes her head, and then removes the rope.

With a contemptible face. "I'm sorry for my words. names Chifya."

"Mm-hmm… you don't have to be sorry, moreover, let's eat while the foods ready." Sheila smiles.

After Chifya and Sheila swallow their food.

"So where is this Akatosh you've been telling me about," Chifya asks.

"I ask Sei to look for him so he might be here," Sheila said assuring Akatosh would come.

After waiting, Sei came and spoke. "Um… he said that he might wake up later on."

"Seems he must be tired after fighting the large wolf." Sheila chuckles.

"You mean he was the one who slays a Delverish!!!" Chifya said somehow shock. "Delverish is very hard to control and they are a very powerful large wolf."

Intrigued by her words Chifya asks if they are adventurers and what ranks do, they reassemble.

"Are you all by any chance an adventurer to the guild?" Chifya said.

"Yep," Sheila says, showing her bronze guild crest.

Chifya was shocked that a novice adventure would be able to slay two Delverish. Though what Akatosh and his part fought was a young. Defeating a fully grown Delverish would take a powerful people for they rival silver and gold class adventurer

-Returning-

"Listen, if you are the one who slays Delverish. I would like you to help me with--" Chifya says, crosses her arms as she deliberately just asks Akatosh for some valorous request.

Before she could continue her words Akatosh was triggered by her high-ordered words.

"You know. I don't even know you, and you're ordering us to help you with something? What am I to you, a servant? You might be a beauty but you're like a hyena." Akatosh says, cutting her words.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

He wanted to barrage her with more potent words, but it was enough to lower her words. It was a knockback for her after hearing his words.

"He-he didn't mean it that way," Sheila says, trying to settle Akatosh and Chifyas' conversation.

"I-I know this is--" Chifya mutters, abash by Akatosh's words.

"Tell me something, do you by any chance related to a man who tames beast?" Akatosh sigh.

"How do you know…" Chifya says, surprised by his question and somewhat worried.

"I was right this woman does have a relation with him," He eHehHJASDASD asdopoip[fjsaid, after seeing her fret.

Before Akatosh went to take arrest, he also asks Sheila and all her friends. To not let the woman knows about the man they've captured. If she had some connection with the man being tied up. Chifya might have to fight Akatosh and his group just to release him. So, before that, he told them to separate him away from the camp, and Akatosh doesn't want to hear his growling voice.

"Look, I'm not the leader you think. But if you cooperate with us and tell us your name we might reconsider. If not, then sorry go find some people to help you."

She didn't hesitate for a bit "Names Chifya and I--" Chifya stoops.

without continuing her words, Akatosh stood up and ask Sheila where they put the possessed man.

"Woman, I'm mean Chifya was it?"

As Akatosh called to her in a deranged way, Chifya frowns looking at Akatosh with dagger-like eyes.

"Mm-hmm… Sheila where did you put that man." Akatosh said, ignoring Chifya who seems to be retaining Akatosh.

"It's near in that forest," Sheila said as she guides them to that place.

Moments after Chifya seeing the man whom they bind, she immediately went to him.

"Uncle Rick! I'm glad you're alive!" Chifya exclaimed. Relief after seeing her uncle safe and sound. And not to mention possessed.

Cutting off their lovely reunion, Akatosh questions about what had happened between Chifya and her uncle.

"I'm sorry to intrude your conversion but, let me ask you about what became of your uncle," Akatosh said.

"My uncle Rick and I were trying to calm the animals near this forest, because of their sudden behavior. We'd try everything we could until we found out where the source of all the disruption."

Hearing her explanation, Akatosh recalls the large building he once spotted. "Let me guess it's the large building east from here."

"How did you know?!" Chifya exclaimed.

"So that's why it all makes sense… These four adventurers are here to investigate this place. The source of the disturbance." That's what Akatosh is thinking.

"Tell me did the guild gave you some information regarding this place and its whereabouts?" Akatosh says towards Sheila.

"The guild manager did warn us. She said that this place was once used as an experiment long ago. They might have some connections with the problems here."

"You may be right," Akatosh says, holding his chin thinking and thinking.

"It seems that we have two choices. Either we return from Keshoval or head-on with this shit." Akatosh concludes.

With a final decision, Akatosh then said to them. "Let's take a gamble. Either we get on with this mission or, we head back to Keshoval and you may report it to your guild." Akatosh said.

Though he dearly wants to continue this mission but was worried about the lives of the four adventurers.

"The other problem is," Akatosh said looking down at the man who's possessed. "If only there is a priest or someone expert with this kind of things."

"Hey, Sheila how do you solve this man's problem," Akatosh said to Sheila, who is somewhat deciding to either choose to continue or finished this once and for all.

"Well, there is a cure to this kind of problem either we deliver him to a nearby temple. Or we can--" Sheila says, hesitating to say the other one.

Knowing the second one was death, Akatosh interrupts her. Knowing Chifya might provoke after hearing the second choice.

"Um… I have a teleportation scroll. We could use this to deliver your uncle at the temple of Azarus." Sheila says.

Akatosh was stomp by Sheila's words. "A teleportation scrolls?!" Akatosh was stunned.

"Yes, the guild gave us this scroll before we could begin our quest," Sheila respond.

"Fine then, you go to your guild and report your findings." Akatosh smile. "And as for you--" Akatosh said, looking at Chifya. "You can go with them. You should take care of your uncle."

"You're going to stay aren't you," Sheila says worriedly.

"What can I say I'm just a traveler," Akatosh said to them. Leaving them behind as he walks towards where all the trouble is brewing.

"Wait!" Sheila said shouting at Akatosh.

"It is nice meeting you all and thanks for the food," Akatosh says, slowly he vanished from their sight.

And so, the traveler goes away looking for adventure, seeking troubles and treasures. Nothing more nothing less.
