Ryuma was just walking about with his baggage and a bag on his back.
"*sigh* I feel sorry for pops. He spent about a half of his salary just for my school. I've gotta paid him somehow. He's done everything he can for me. And here I am, just making him dissapoint. Also, both bro and sis sure are gonna kill me if they've heard about this."
Ryuma then take out something from his pocket. It was the golem's core he just took from Ivan (Referring to chapter 4). "If I still remember it,'that guy' must have been somewhere around here..."
Ryuma then take a few step ahead slowly watching 'the guy' whereabouts. He then stops."Guess he's move elsewhere then. I wonder how much this core's price was." Ryuma then heard something was behind him. A mysterious kid wearing a hat and had a old and torn clothes. Was pushing the carriage behind him.
The mysterious guy smiled as he look at Ryuma's direction."Ahhh~ It's you again." Ryuma looked at the guy, he feels a shiver cold as he look him in the eye.
"Umm... I wanna thank you for the ring. It really did helped me a lot."
"Oooh, don't mind it. It's just a small payment for you had save me once."
Ryuma then had a flashback when he helped the guy who was beaten up by some thugs. "Ohh thank you so much young man."
("He calls me a young man but he's definitely younger than me. It's like he's 10 to 12 years old.") That's what Ryuma thinking about him at the moment.
"Hohohoh you might be thinking me is a kid, but I'm older than you think."
(He can read my mind?!)
"I'm just but a humble merchant. But you can call me Om." Om then go to his carriage and search something in it.
"Hmm... where is it..." After a few minutes Om finally founds what he's searching for and hand it over to Ryuma. It was a small silver ring.
"You, what's your name?" Ryuma is still confused by the kid's behaviour.
"Ryuma, Ryuma Ochirou."
"Then Ryuma, do you know about the Debuff magic?"
"Debuff magic? No? I've never heard there's a magic called Debuff magic."
"Make sense. Most of the people didn't know of these magic's existence. Only small amount of people had only know about these. Meanwhile the society only blinded themself to so called attributes which only make them strong on the specific element."
"So... what is Debuff magic?"
"Ohh, basically the debuff magic is the magic that makes the opponent disadvantage on their fights. Basically, like this." Ryuma can feel his leg is getting weaker until he finally falls down on his knees.
("Wh-what is this? I can barely feel any energy in my body. It feels like I didn't eat for three days.")
"Wear the ring, It'll nullify all sort of debuff magic casted on It's wearer." Ryuma then wear the ring on his middle finger.
("M-my energy is coming back!") Ryuma managed to stand on his feet again but his feet were still trembling. It appears the ring doesn't completely nullify all of the debuff magic that were cast on him.
"You'll know when someone cast a debuff magic on you. But be careful, even if you have the ring you'll still can't see the enemy's trick within the curtain. Now then... I'll pray you for a good luck."
When the merchant was about to leave Ryuma ask a question on him."Wait! why give me these ring?"
"Ohh It's not a bit deal. The market value of these ring were only about 70 silver coin anyway." The merchant then departed from the place.
To present."Now then Mr. Om, how much for these?" Ryuma showed the golem's core.
"Oooh~ the core of the golems. It is indeed a valuable stuff." The merchant then took a coins from his pocket."Fifty gold coins... how does that sound?" Ryuma's eyes open widened.
"Fi-Fifty gold coins?!"
"That's the least I can offer you." Ryuma accepted the price and got a total of fifty gold coins from the merchant.
"Oh! one more thing... Merchant Om give a piece of paper to Ryuma.
"What's this?"
"Oh! It's a discount voucher of the certain popular family restaurant! I'll tell you they had the best food in this whole country! I'll tell you all about their popular food!" Ryuma spent about 1 hour listening to the merchant.
"And that's why you gotta go try their food!"
"Ok-ok fine, I'll go later! Give me a spaces will you?"
"Hohoho! Now then, I'll gotta go too."
"Hmm? go where?"
"It appears that Herreson is not a good selling places. So I will have to move someplace elsewhere."
"Where to?"
"Hohoho! maybe It's nearby. Maybe It's someplace far away. Who knows?" Merchant Om then push his carriage. Trying to leave.
"Mr. Om! will I meet you again?"
"Hohoho! perhaps? If the destiny allow us to." Ryuma blinked. Realizing the merchant Om were dissapear right before his eyes. Not long after that, Ryuma too walk away from the place.
Ryuma look at the money he just got from merchant Om."Pops paid about hundred gold coins every months... Oh that's right! How about I buy a gift for him? While I go search for the gift, I might as well look around the Herreson. I can't even enter here anymore."
While Ryuma searched for the gift for his father, he visited the popular tourist spot using his money he got from merchant. After a few hours, he finally bought a gift for his father and stumble upon a restaurant Om told him about. He then took a seat outside of the restaurant.
"Welcome, customer. May I take your order?"
"Hmm... then give me this."
"Okay! give us a minute!" After 15 minutes later, his order arrives. A Rice with Fried Chicken and a hot chocolate. Once he ate a spoon of rice he felt that an electricity flow through him.
("Hm! This food is good! Like really good! A shame I can't come here again thought.") Ryuma then took a sip of his hot chocolate
("!!!, This is a most tasty hot chocolate I've ever drink!!! How the hell they're making these delicious food!?")
"Delicious Isn't it?" Ryuma heard a voice and immediately look behind him. There's a 2 girls who's sitting behind him. One girl has a pretty face. Along a pink hair with twintail. The other girl, has a long hair with a dark blue color. Wearing a hairband is taking a sip on her coffee.
The girl with a twintail smiled at him. Ryuma immediately senses of deja vu."Have we met somewhere before?" The twintail girl aswered.
"No? probably just your imagination." But deep down Ryuma can feel that the girls wasn't gonna be friendly with him.
