9 Suspicious people

Like any other morning this morning was also ordinary. People in the village were doing there own works like feeding the domestic animals like cow,goat and chickens, working in their fields and cutting wood into pieces. Many birds were making a beautiful chirping sound all around the village, along with the birds beautiful chirping the happy laughters of kids made the village look very peaceful and a happy place to live in.

In such an amazing morning in one of the many houses of the village one can hear Swoosh..Swoosh...Bang...Bang...Thud..sounds. But nobody paid attention to it because like every other works done by people in the morning this was also one of those work done since the last 6yrs.

And the one making those sounds was a young boy who is about 11yrs in age but unlike those petite body of kids his body was well built. As for his face he wasn't handsome but if one look at his eyes they could see the black abyss like pupils and along with those long black ponytail hair made the kid look very dominating. And in that kid's hands were a rusted shield and an iron-spear. With those weapons he was making countless moves and attacking the dummy but if an experienced fighter saw those moves he could identify that those moves were not done with whole art.

"Dammit, I can't focus on my training" said the kid.

And that kid is none other than our MC Milan.

Sigh..it's no use training like this, it will just make me more restless. I have to calm down. Breathe in....Breathe out...Breathe in...Breathe out. But, I couldn't calm down because after 11yrs of living in this world I will go to the first city.

"Hey son, go and be ready the merchants will arrive soon" father said from inside the house.

"Okay", after saying that I went inside the house and took a refreshing bath and came out of the house with a fresh look.

After that both father and son went to the entrance. There both of them met up with other 10 people and waited for the Merchant to come. And after waiting for about an hour the merchant group came from the west and stopped near the village entrance.

Than from the group of carriages one of the carriage opened it's window and said while laughing"Hahaahahaha...you guys look fine as always"

"It's all thanks to your caravan that we could live like this", village head said while walking towards the merchant and hugging him.

"Well I have to take better care of you guys so that I can get those well made fur cloths",said the merchant after separating from the hug.

"HahHahahahahaha.....", everybody laughed at the merchant words.

As the grown ups were talking I was looking at the merchant's caravan. The caravan had 2 carriages and 4 wagons along with 30 guards guarding it. And among those carriages two carriage were comfortable for people to live in. From the first one came the merchant as for the second carriage I don't know why but seeing that carriage made my senses tingle.

As, I was still staring at that carriage one of the guard of that carriage looked towards me. He was about 30yrs of age, his body was not big but it was well built like that of a seasoned warrior and with his blond hair and blue eyes made him look very handsome. And than our eyes met, he glared at me like he was beast and me as his prey which felt little overwhelming.

"But guess what I have seen the death itself and died. And compare to that do you think such pathetic gaze will defeat me", thinking like that I with my pitch black eyes glared at him.

As we were on a glaring at each other, the window opened of the carriage opened and from that window a beautiful girl's voice came out," Teacher what are you doing".

After the handsome guy heard that voice his glaring gaze changed into a gentle doting gaze as he replied to the beautiful girl"It's nothing, just looking what kind of village is this."

Hearing such reply from her teacher the beautiful girl was quite surprised and asked" What's so great about this village, it looks just like any other village we passed"

"Hahahshaha...it's same but also not the same", replied the handsome teacher while laughing.

Seeing her teacher like that, the beautiful girl again looked at the village but this time she looked carefully and then she saw a young kid looking towards her direction looking stunned, at first she felt good from seeing his reaction but after seeing his smirk along with those pitch black eye she felt chills in her back like a great being was looking at an inferior being and she hurriedly avoid his eyes.

"Hmmm...what happ...", as he was about to ask what happened to the girl, he saw a smile which unconsciously made him to grip his sword.

As the window opened there I saw a beautiful face that I couldn't see in Earth. She looked about 14 yrs old, her skin was white like that of anime characters, along with blood like red hair and black eyes she looked a young version of 'Rias Griemorie' from the HighschoolDxD anime. And seeing the handsome man and beautiful girl talk in such a lovely morning made it more beautiful which made me stunned and than our eyes met. As our eyes met, something ring in my head and then I realized why my senses where tingling, carriage...handsome guard...beautiful girl...travelling...forest...and then we all know what happens. Afterwards, I unknowingly made a smirk and that smirk changed into a smile.

After that I looked at my father and asked him" Father is it okay to travel with them."

"It's okay you don't need to worry about it. We have been travelling like this even before your were born." Father replied looking very confident.

"I maybe wrong but don't you think that carriage look little suspicious." I said while pointing towards the carriage of the beautiful girl.

Father looked at that carriage and looked serious for a while before relaxing and saying" Don't worry about them, they maybe some rich people travelling with the merchant."

"But still..."

"Don't worry kid this happens all the time." Father said in a reassuring tone.

After that the grown ups decided to travel and we all ride the two wagons prepared by the village head. And like that we all along with the merchant's group made about 45 people along with carriage and like that we headed towards the city which is west to our village.
