Three

"I'll give you a chance to explain yourself, woman. Are you the Devil's apprentice? Ha! How bold of you to summon me here! You deserve a punishment!" said the handsome man.

"Hey! Hey! How could you say Devil's apprentice? When, in the first place, I don't have a magic to summon you! You're stressing me out! Haaa! How about we talk in a calm way, hm? Sheyiah said after the handsome man just deadpanned her and she heard his stomach rumble.

*sigh* [I bet he didn't eat before he was sucked in here. Then, I should make breakfast for three; Lorena should probably have arrived by now. It took her a long time to come here.]

"So, what are you?''

"Literally a human"

"Why so mean woman? Im just asking hoping to have a hint of what I am doing here! Who knows what you are? You did not tell me if you are a devil's apprentice or a sorcerer, perhaps a magician?"

"I am just a human without powers, and you're quiet a blabber, aren't we, Duke? If that was the effect of your hungriness, then please shut it for the moment. I may burn the food due to lack of focus, and please just ask a question after eating."

-Timeskip –

"Should we talk now, woman?''

"Then ask a question, and I'll try to answer it within my knowledge and honesty."

"What are you, a sorcerer, a devil's apprentice, or a magician?''

"Again, I told you that I'm just an ordinary human with no power possessed."

"No power? Ha! Then tell me, when I got in here, you were the first and only person I saw. Therefore, you're a direct suspect at the moment."

"I could not do that when I am just reading a book, then the book opens, and you're there, ta-da!"

"Ha! Look, I am desperate to know what happened because I need to go back to my land. I don't have time to joke around when I am losing my people. Just tell me directly how I ended up here and the way to go back."

"Well, I am not joking either. I don't really know how you end up here, and I can't help you about that." After she said that, he was just hopelessly staring at her.

[How could I say that you're just a character from the story I read that came to life? If I were given a chance to summon a character, it should not be you, duh! If I remember correctly, when the book burst with light, it was his face on the page when the portal appeared. So, whoever is on that page when the portal appears, that person will come out? Ah wait! ]

"Uh, I think there is someone that can help you. The owner of the shop where I bought that book."

"Give me the book first. I will try to find a clue in it using my powers; if it doesn't work, I will go to that shop. You better accompany me or I will kill you."

The handsome man was scanning the book and trying to use his power several times, but his powers never came out. He was getting so frustrated that he almost threw the book onto the balcony.

"Hey! Are you stupid?! That book is the key for you to go home, yet you're going to throw it?"

"It doesn't matter; the book is useless anyway. You see, there's no text written on it, so why bother? Lead me to where you bought that book, woman."

"Stop calling women all the time; I have a name, duh! Let's wait for my friend first because I wasn't familiar on that street."

Why is your friend so lousy? Was it my fault that I would call you a woman when you don't even tell me your name? Who's stupid, then? "

"It is because her home is far away here, duh! Ha! My name is Sheyiah, you idiot Duke!"

"Yeah, Im a Duke, Duke Damon Mateo Oswald Cavanaugh of the Southern Land of Shuhua. It makes me wonder: how did you know that I was a Duke? I don't even tell you about it, and you know you make me more suspicious of you, Sheyiah."

[Yeah, How could I not know you when I read your story? If the text of the book doesn't disappear, that will be my proof. *sigh*]

"Ya! Whatever! Found me suspicious? I don't care."

"SHEYIAHHH, WHERE ARE YOU?! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? THAT MAN DIDN'T HURT YOU, RIGHT? OR SHOULD WE JUST REPORT HIM TO THE POLICE AND SEND HIM TO THE JAIL IMMEDIATELY? Lorena shouted as she entered the room.

"Lorena, lower your voice. Why don't you eat first and accompany us to the street we were in yesterday because I forgot the way to go there, hmm? I will explain it to you when we finish our business there, okay?"

Okay," Lorena replied, glaring at Damon.

[I hope that old man will help us. I have many things to do, yet here I am solving this man's problem. My peaceful day turns into a stressful headache! ]
