It was that day when i felt that painful electricity crawling on my back; It was so painful that i want to forgot how painful it is. Still i can't believe that i myself could trust him immedietly and ask him to protect me without knowing who he really is but something is forcing to entrust this situation to him. Upon after that day it was foggy, the sun began to rise slowly from its horizon. I rose somewhat earlier thinking where he is and found him sleeping outside this tent on a mat he placed with a blanket covered on himself; he somewhat looks scary though sociable when he caught his interest on something and always talk in a lethargic-like way that I found comforting. I also find himself being gormless[Chiefly British] about this kingdom. I know that this might be a bad thing to do but as my curiosity gradually deepened and increase I decided to open the bag he always carry that looks big but
"This will do" murmured i thinking i found a clue to finding who he really is. It was something like a paper i found and was impossible to read because of this unrecognizable letters and characters but a second later i was able to read it without any mistakes and it ran like this.
"What is it Cindy-chan?" he woke up from the exaggeration i made.
"What this is?!" i said "What's the next paragrap
"Yes, Nothing special about it you know. I have no time for trifles, Now could you help me pack my things out? we're moving" he said
"Y-yes!"
I couldn't understand how can he endure and sleep this cold in the outside.
"But still its was a miracle for you to remember me this day" said he as he stood up from the mat fold it up
"Hmph!! Are you an idiot? I could never forgot someone who save me!" i said
"..Forgot someone who saves you?" He murmured as he pack the things out. "Cindy-chan what and where is the closest town here from our place?" he added
"Hmm let me see here in my map" i open my bag and shockingly realizing I gave it to someone.
"Here is the map," said he " I know its torn up but maybe you can use your magic to reconstruct what's lost," he remarked; giving the map that was torn up and barely readable.
The map he gave was mine. It was blotched with blood and turned black as the time pass by. Is it possible that i have forgotten something that happened?...No way! hahaha! There's no way Cindy-chan could forget something! I'm a person that could memorize an entire book.. except grimoire in a minute so no way!. "Now let me fix that torn and beat up map; gimme that" i opened my grimoire and turned the applicable page for fixing this.
"Cindy-chan are you done fixing it?" He queried
<15 minutes later>
"Whoah!! That was exhausting! I could barely feel any mana from myself!" it was my first time on suceededing in casting a spell but in exchange i barely feel my mana and lose it all.
"I want to sleep!"
"Well, at least you did a great job" He praise me while patting my head
Never mind on sleeping. I could enjoy his patting but unfortunately, I continued to lose consciousness and fell asleep
--------
I rose somewhat in the middle of the night seeing Ayumu-san sitting in front of a glowing campfire, reading a letter and naturally ran his eyes through it.
"You're already awake cindy-chan" he spotted me in a second and toss the letter over the fire.
"What was that letter you threw over ayamu-san" ask i
"Ohh... Curious??" it makes me irritated to see him teasing me
"Tchi..Y-Yeah kinda" said i as i avoided his eyes
He began slowly walking onto me, kneeled on my side and whispered...
"!"
My heart skip a beat before he could tell me what it is.
"Never mind what i said" He turned back; glaring his pale eyes on hisself "Now could we get back on business?" He added
"What? We're changing the topic? I heard nothing about what you whispered."
"Its for the best if you didn't catch it"
At that point in time, When he kneeled on my side, I caught a close glimpsed of his dark red-eye; I realized that not only his red eye has a lethargic demeanor, but is also used as veil by his entire past— hiding his endless agony from his entire life. I could see he hisself continously screaming beyond that red eyes of him without any stop and forcing hisself to drown deep down to his own hell in his eyes. I wouldn't like to pry much about him, but its giving me the chills to question him again "Who are you?".
"Oh i totally forgotten, how old are you?" he asked.
"Ehhh... 15 years old" i answered.
"What you look like a 9 years-" he added, to his suprise seeing someone short like me.
"Hey hey hey! Could we also get back on the business?"
"Sure" he answered "The map here, what's the closest town from here?" he handed the map and queried.
"Mmm... Let see we're here at the south of Alfheim so the closest town probably from here is..."
"Alfheim?" he suggested
"Yes yes! You are right!" "So were going there?" I ask.
"Of course NO" I'm impress by his eccentric attitude
"Why? Isn't its the closest?" I ask
"Thats why we're moving away from that town because its the closest" he said
"I'm asking the reason"
"You know missy, it takes a little common sense to construct a reason on why we need to move away from that town" he said
"???"
I couldn't think of any reason why would we need to move away from that town.
"It is because the knights know that you are going there! It is because its the closest town!" He exclaimed, explaining the reason.
"Oh i get it i get it!" I was suprised by the reason.
At that time, i didnt realized that he knows something about me and that something is I'm currently pursued by the knights
"We're going to the 3rd closest town or we're going to the south if there's any town in there" he said
"Then Asgard; It's the farthest town and is located in the south but the downside is it would take 2 days to reach it with horse because of the hills that surround it and if we hike it would take about 4 days"
"I see... No need to worry about that" he said, pointing his fingers to a two wheeled something; "That's a bike" he remarked.
"A bike?" Said I "What does it do?" I added
"Well to put it simply, It's horse but you don't need to feed it" he explained
"CoOoOoooOOol!"
"Anyway were moving now" said he
"Really? Here during midnight?"
"Missy, take a good look at the horizon" he said pointing his finger at it.
I began noticing a orange light coming from the side of it thinking that it was a fire, but a second look reveals that its the sun rising from its horizon.
"That's the East. If we face the East our right will the South" said he softly
We continued to look for it a minute. It was a heartwarming feeling to look the sun rise from the horizon with someone I trust. I hope this could continue forever.
"We should be going now" he said "Now sit here at the back of the bike" he remarked
"Oh right"
Now let the Adventure begins!
