stars looks pretty, just like your eyes.

Boa stepped inside the cart and sat down, while he sat down he started to look and explore what his helmet could do. the helmet actually responded to his toughts and he did not needed to talk outloud, if he had to that would be certainly weird. the first thing it could to was pinning a place down and when he looked out to see the places he pinned places would be listed infront of him. looking by the names he saved he could chose one of them and and arrow would appear in his eyesight pointing at that dirrection. this was really usefull and that meant he would never be lost searching for a place he went before

secondly, only wearing the helmet was good as wearing a full body suit Boa couldn't understand but somehow the helmet protected his body too, trying to slice of any part of himself would be impossible as long as he had strong will or a strong emotion that will keep him standing, for Boa he had a massive will to grow strong and have his hand filled with sweet revenge

this was childish of him but it was great that it existed, otherwise his helmet wouldn't be this strong. thirdly, the helmet showed the weakest point of any object or living. it also improved his eyesight and appraisal ability by a ton.

the last thing Boa was curious about if it had intelligence like those ego items but the helmet didn't talk to him yet

the possibilities of this helmet was endless. ıt was a growth type and the description told him that it would be revealed when the class had grown to a certain level so there was a chance it could gain its own conciousness or shapeshift into something completely different

Boa snapped back from his toughts when the carriage bumped to a rock. he looked outside to see a wast beatifull grass plains and few houses and animals. they just got out of the city a few hours ago. the others were chatting but Boa didnt make any sound

"hey there cute guy goblin got your tounge?"

Boa looked up to see the short haired girl looking at him. he talked with no emotions behind. 

"ı have no reason to talk."

the girl raised her eyebrows and smiled

"why not!"

Boa couldnt add more emotions to interfere with his strenght. if he developed any relationships and lost it again he would completely lose his mind and go crazy, and this will result his helmets power drop to zero. he could not risk losing the strenght that he just obtained, he had been gotten betrayed too much.

so Boa didnt talk anymore. he heard that 'cute' and 'handsome' words alot but it only ended with his already trashed heart and emotions getting crushed more, he could not trust or get tempted by these words. 

the girl stopped trying as Boa didn't answer 

the night had came and they had to stand in guard one by one after they eat, a person brought by the carriage owner cooked some stew and gave it to everyone, it was not bad , boa took on the first guarding as he wanted to sleep without stopping, nothing particular happened.

Boa got awakened

"wake up sleepyhead!"

it was the girl that tried to talk to him the other day, he pushed her hands away as he scratched his helmet, yes. this idiot sleeped with his helmet. the girls expression got saddened as Boa pushed her away. its quite childish that Boa acts like this, but this is the most safe way.

the carriage started to move again after they had packed everything again, there was no problems untill some cows decided to block their ways by laying down, the owner of those did everything to get them walk again and apologized after he had moved them, everyone had fun when this happened, everyone outside of Boa that is. he always stayed inside the carriage and wandered deep to his toughts, the girl tried to talk to him more this time

"why dont you talk to us?"

"ı dont need to."

"see! you are at it again! you dont need any reasons to talk with someone."

"then ı dont want to."

"damn! you are so childish!"

the girl sighed 

"look ı dont really know what happened in the past that made you distant with other people but we are not like them, everyone is different you know!"

Boa didnt answer as the girl threw her hands around his neck and tapped his helmet

"with that around, why do you wear this black helmet all the time? do you perhaps have an ugly face?"

she smiled

"yes. yes ı do"

she raised and eyebrow

"ı dont think so? you look cute even tough half of your face is sealed away!"

the girl smiled teasingly as she got closer to Boa

"please step back."

Boa pushed her away and removed her arm from himself leaving the girl dumbfounded and suprised she looked at her father and her friends with questioning sad expression and got no answer, the mood had been dropped, and the party members grew more curious about Boa's identity and his story about why he acted like this. 

especially the short haired girl was starting to get enough of this, what could have possibly happen that he couldnt trust anyone, litterally?

the girl kept bothering Boa for the rest of the day, talking with him casually and act like she gets an answer from him

this started to bother Boa, he didnt feel attached to her and he wanted her to just shut up, his trust issues grew inside so much that he couldn't even talk to people casually anymore. 

honestly, he had no downsides in his body, he had an handome and cute face, his personality was good too, hell if this was about the size of the production organ he was big in that but he never thinked of using it, Boa had been convinced that it was about being weak, that he needed to be strongest to finally trust people.

maybe it was his helmet that protected him agaist the girls temptations, afterall those flirtous acts could be considered an attack 

the carriage slowed down as the night came and darkened the surrounding, ofcourse as there was no light pollution the night sky looked dazzling, as they ate their stews Boa watched the nightsky in awe

"isnt it beatifull? ı know right... ı really do wonder, why dont you talk, ı mean the real reason?"

Boa continued to look to the sky

"ı have reasons that ı dont really want to share."

"ı see..."

the girl looked at boa as she carefully observed his soft lips, as the flame flashed boas face she took a glimpse of his eyes. what he told earlier was a lie

she smiled and looked back to the sky, it now looked familiar as it resembled Boa's eyes.
