Troubled lease
Akio woke up to an opened curtain, the sun high in the sky. It beamed into the room making everything light up in a gold hue. Stirring up with a large stretch he looked around with a yawn. His door was open and a small pair of eyes were looking at him.
"Who are you?" Nell asked out of curiosity, the innocence of the child magically returned after a nice sleep.
Looking confused akio sat up and looked at Nell, a sense of panic settled.
'What if Milda doesn't recognize me? Will the be scared of me?'
"Glad too see you up." Milda walked in with a smile that battled the crushing wave of panic.
"Glad to see you already evolved again! You'll have a long future ahead at this rate." She said walking towards him with a smile smirk.
[back off shota whore]
Oi, hush'. Akios brow twitched reading the message.
"It seems I did after I went for a hunt yesterday" seeing her look at him in question he hurriedly replied.
"I went and visited the guild of the city and went out and hunted a beast; earning myself a couple of coins I bought some clothes and save some for the loan. Which you realize how unfair it is right?" Looking at her with a slightly annoyed expression.
"I do, but i see where they are coming from. No one trades with this city as the tax rates here are too high. So they have to get it somehow." Nodding in understanding Akio turned to Nell who was still looking at him with a questioning gaze.
"Hey Nell, what were you doing in my room?" Looking at the young girl was making him slightly uncomfortable as she was saying anything.
"We wanted to go and get breakfast and then go outside and then eat." Nell looked around while talking as if she was talking to a stranger.
"Okay then, let's go" turning around and grabbing the small pouch of money and putting on his boots.
"Do you have a place in mind?" He asked as he stood up and walked out the door in front of them.
"Uhh... yes we do, it's right down the street. I heard that they had the best apple pies in town! I had planned to put it on the city loan as I heard that this particular shop allows that. I really hate too do this but would you mind?" Milda rattled off holding Nells hand as she followed him.
"I don't mind at all, but let's get you guys some better attire, Nells not looking nearly as good as she could be and you...." he trailed off feeling two lasers drilling the back of his head.
"Watch it, You made Nell upset. You should know better than that."
"Huh? No Nell isn't upset." Nell responded with a confused look.
"Fine, but we're extremely grateful for the offer and we'll take it." Milda responded warmly, apparently Milda took on a mother figure for the little girl. Not that it's a bad thing, in fact I'm glad she is.
"Not a problem." Akio responded opening the door to leave the inn.
The streets were a lot more packed with people since the daylight shone on the rubbled road. With stalls set up in front of houses to sell apples and other fruits from the outer city. Making the town more like a farmers market. Approaching a nearby clothing store, Milda took the lead and walked inside. The interior of the shop was a nice spruce cafe, giving off a bright and calm atmosphere. Even guards were seated laughing around. Nell narrowed her eyes at them as her ears fell.
"I know how you feel, but those aren't the people who hurt us okay?" Akio leaned down to her. Akio had been taking most of his anger out on the wolf he killed earlier. But since the guards here weren't part of the same kingdom he couldn't get mad at them, but his hatred grew more and more everyday as the shock settled for the two of them. Milda seemed unfazed by Nells reaction and walked forward to grab a small dress and other clothes.
"What's our budget? The café food will cost us around 2 silvers for each of us."
Akio opened up his patch and saw the remaining 90 silvers he had. He gave the gold coins to the small kid the night before, exchanging it for 100 silvers.
"I would like to save most of this, my current cloths only cost me 5 silvers." Looking around the place he saw many dresses and other clothes.
"Here's 20 silvers, I'm going to see if i can get any more monsters and get the loan problem out of the way. I will be back in around two hours at the cafe." With a nod he walked back outside before a rebuke could be said.
Clothes and waiting were not his favorite things in the world. Passing the guards on the way to the forest he opened back up his inventory.
------------------------
Wolfs Last Fang x1
------------------------
'Well that feels empty.' Looking at the empty inventory gave him a sense of uncomfort. But he ignored it and opened up details for Wolfs Last Fang.
[Wolfs Last Fang (2nd Grade Dagger):
-Physical strikes have a small chance to cause extensive bleeding on enemy. Dealing 15 hp every 2 seconds.
-Strikes against beast type animals have a 20% chance for a critical hit.
Physical DMG: 200. Magic DMG:0. ]
"Well hello there..." looking at the dagger as if it was now his 3rd arm. He wasnt really a dagger user what-so-ever. But a weapon was a weapon and he planed on fighting lower grades with his bare hands. Which wasnt too ideal. The faster he got stronger, the faster he can find his parent, the faster he could kill the gaurds and the faster he can build his own path.
The road ahead of him was baron as he exited the outer city, heading towards the woods in front of him. But a small group of people exited the forest, holding swords and monster inwards.
"DANM MAN, were finally going to get out of this danm place! The monsters in this area are either way to powerful or you can flick their arm in half." A skinny man holding two swirled daggers that looked like they were refracted in water.
"Shut up man. We all know that no decent monster spots are around this city, and thats why we have to spend hours upon hours in there. But your right, we need to get out of here. This is a town for elders and for people who dont do anything with their life but swing a metal hoe at the dirt." Snorting in response was a burly man not recognizable because of the upside amount of corpses he was carrying.
Passing by them he entered the forest and started to run into the center, in his last trip he ran into that wolf and that was only after a long walk forwards. It seems that the further you go the more dangerous it is. But they were right, the monsters here were no where near where they could be. No dungeons, no nothing. Akio tried to make plans on how to get out of this town as well when he ran into another monster.

'Let's see how this works.' Looking towards the large boar he raised his arm upwards .
'Lightning' Immediatly a small spark of electricity appeared above his palm. Making him kinda flushed, after doing such and I'm arresting pose for something so simple.
Turning back towards the Boar he lowered the ball of lightning and shot it forward as fast as he could.
KEEEEAA
The boar squirmed after getting pelted by an electric current. Causing some muscle spasms but minimal damage.
-7
Tch
Dealing nearly no damage akio ran forward at a speed that made him look like he was warping short distances.
He swung his dagger forward slicing the boars side. Causing it to recoil and look at him with hatred. Being significantly slower than Akio it couldn't track his movements for long as Akio lunged forward once again and swung his dagger towards the boars neck.
The dagger cut the boars throat rather smoothly as a large hash trailed the short dagger. But he didn't stop there, he used his other hand to give the Boar a punch in the side of the head. Causing its head to dislodge due to lack of muscle support on one side of its neck.
