The One Beyond : chapter 9

The guard was dumb founded, suck a young girl was requesting a for a weapon as if it were a toy.

"You can't!" He answered.

"And why not?" Umy asked, suspicious of the guard.

"Your too young. And I am obligated to do the right thing."

'Your mother would kill me if I were to let you walk into danger.' He thought.

"Theirs nothing written on the law that I can't own a weapon, and even if there was, I could just ask for someone to buy the thing for me..." Umy's eye's looked over the mans twitching expression. Which were

Small, but she could tell the situation was too convenient to be a coincidence.

"Fine, then." She finally relented.

The guard took a deep sigh of relief.

"Edith lets go home, we'll find the thing I want another day." Said Umy.

"O.. okay.." quietly answered Edith who walked past the guard.

"Mr. Guard can you at least tell me your name, since I feel like I will meet you again." She asked.

"It's Tommy, you can always find me near the smith market." He answered.

Umy could see the expression on the guard, but she could tell the man was relieved.

When both the girls went back to the middle of the variety of markets, Umy felt hungry.

"Edith." She called.

"Yes master?"

"I'm feeling hungry. Would you mind we go get something to eat before going home?" She pointed to an area full of things that smells of herbal food or a different colors of cooked food.

Edith eagerly nodded.

"Pick what ever you want and eat it." Umy said before going into a deeper thought.

'It's not like my mother cares, and even if she did she would have already gotten something for me. But she has a kid on the way, I can't wait to meet them. then again she must be planning to give me something for my 4rth birthday. If so I can't fault her." Umy concluded.

Her mother's belly were getting larger and larger which was only meant that she was going to give birth, which made her and the rest of the rest of the family's very nervous.

Umy was happy inside and this showed.

Her smile grew along with her eye's showing brighter then ever.

"Hey you! What the hell are you kids doing out here without your parents?!" A worried old man stopped on the street to intersect the two girls.

"Na- Naked! Ahhhh! Theirs! A naked old weirdo!" Edith could not help but scream.

Her eye's were violated by a naked bald man who might as well be too old and too senile.

Umy imediately reconized the senile old man.

"Grandpa Mordin!" Umy got off The stressed Ediths back.

She walked closer to him where they were 1 meters apart.

She too couldn't help but stare at his genitals.

of course as a man from her previous life, her sense of disgust wasn't visible.

"HUh? Do your know me? I have never seen you before." Said Mordin.

"Look at my eye's then." Umy pointed to her large red eye's which shined like a ruby.

"You, your.....! Who are you again?" Mordin confusedly asked.

Umy was dumb confused. Did Mordin become so senile to the point he could not remember her mother and her?

"However you're smart for suck a young girl. I don't remember a little girl like you being able to talk so fluently in all my 40 years. But I did hear about a little girl who was called a genius." The old physician explained.

Umy looked to her feet in confusion before looking around at the adult hiding there kids from looking at the shameful man.

"Lets go back to your home first before a guard comes and tackle you." Umy warned.

Mordin now looked down on the girl with a silent question.

"Well because you are completely naked, please go put on some clothes before its too late." She had to explain in haste as there were more vibration and the voice of someone very angry coming.

And there it was A very large man who was decked in pure iron armor.

People call him Mr. Bolo.

He stood 6 feet 2 inches tall, which meant he was very tall compared to the average height of 5 feet 6 inches.

"You!!!!." Mr. Bolo's angered voice was so loud it finally made Mordin pay attention.

"You violated my daughters eye's now you even made a victom of these two young girls!"

Soon the man came charging in before he grabbed and lifted up the very confused Mordin.

The man then went inside Mordins home with Mordin on his shoulder.

"Come Edith we should go inside as well." Said Umy who looked very familiar with the situation.

"Are you sure? What if we get yelled at?" Edith had stayed in the home of Umy for 3 years without ever going out and experiencing the world outside of the home.

"Just come inside." With that both girls walk inside.

Soon they saw Mr. Bolo was putting a yellow outfit for Mordin.

"Sir. It seems that your condition was become worst of late. I don't think you even remember how to treat a patient." Mr. Bolo spoke his honest opinion about Mordin.

His eye's showed regret at the inabilities to help the man who saved his wife and daughter.

"Its fine, I also realized that was the case, But....Thanks Bolo. I guess I only have at least 5 year left. But you know don't just stand there, invite our guest to a was welcome." Mordin looked over the side of Bolo to see two girls.

He smiled happily before walking toward them.

Bolo didn't know who the two girls are but seeing the expression on Mordin, He calmed himself down.

"Gramps, did you really not remember me?" Umy asked, her appearance as adorable as ever.

"No, I would never forget, You've grown up so well. If I knew you were able to talk and walk this well I would have wanted you to visit from time to time." Said Mordin, a calm look in his eye's.

He then turned his gaze toward a different girl.

"Who is this?" he asked.

Umy looked toward Edith for a moment before answering.

"That's Edith, She is a friend of mine but also a slave of mine."

"Oh, I see. haha It looks like your stuck with her for the rest of your life." He stated.

Edith nervously stared at the old man who was showing a welcoming smile.

She was a nervous wreck, but somehow she got the courage to shake the mans extended palm which was asking for a shake.

"Its nice to meet you sir." she greeted.

"Your so polite, They must have thought you well, most of the slave I saw were never this well mannered since they were roughly treated. Luckily you are in a better positions compared to those that were either criminals forced to take the emblems of slaves. still the lucky once had there chance at freedom after the served most of there time as a slave. In fact Mr. Bolo is one of such slaves who was granted freedom after he selflessly save a whole family from a burning home. Still he was left with the worst injury possible, second degree burns. Isn't that right!" Mordin shouted toward at Bolo.

"Wait before I explain what happens, you should all sit down instead of standing around." Mr. Bolo Recommended.
