Small conversation

" Hey Shu I have a question "

Galahad said as he sat next to Shu who leaned against the wall with a toothpick in his mouth

" Hm? What's up Percival? "

He questioned as he turned his head toward Galahad who stared at him for a bit

" Why—-are you all over the place? "

Galahad asked, as Shu simply blinked in return, tilting his head in confusion

" All over the place? But we've just been walking around this whole time, besides you've been with me for the entirety of this mini-game's time "

Shu replied, his tone was innocent and sincere, his eyes showed no signs of lies and his expression seemed calm

" That's not what I mean "

Galahad added, confusing the boy, even more, making him press his index finger against his own forehead, trying his best to understand what Galahad was trying to say

" I mean like—you're personality. One time you're reasonable, another you're irritated, and on others, you seem as innocent as a kid, what's up with that? "

Galahad questioned, and although he seemed calm, his tone of voice sounded nervous-like, and his eyes avoided Shu's gaze, he felt that the question he was trying to convey would be of annoyance to the boy, but to his surprise, all he heard was a loud, very loud laugh

" Hahahahaha!!! That's what you meant!! Hahahahaha!!"

Galahad was confused, he wasn't sure what to do or what to reply with. Again, Shu was acting weird, acting like he didn't belong to the civilization Galahad was raised in, acting like the opinion around him did not matter, acting like he was free to do as he pleased, and acting like he didn't have any restraints, as if he himself was on a higher realm

" Well, to answer your question, I'm just doing what grandpa taught me to do "

The boy said, with a smile on his face as he then looked forward, chuckling as the question that Galahad asked him kept replaying in his head

" Which was? "

Galahad questioned, adding to his earlier question, causing Shu to look back at him

" Well, his words were simple really 'do what you want, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise' "

Shu replied as he grabbed his toothpick, cleaning his teeth with a calm look while being stared at by Galahad

" What kind of teachings or those? "

Galahad thought to himself, tilting his head as he watched Shu play with the toothpick in his mouth

" Haha! You guys are screwed now! Do you think you can just walk into this place and randomly start eating our food!? Haha! Well, guess what!? The boss is here! Hahaha!! Now you're all dead! "

One of the boys yelled, interrupting Shu's and Galahad's conversation, laughing maniacally every time he said a word

" I heard you guys took over my camp "

A female's voice said while a red hair walked into the room, looking around while laying her hand on what seemed to be her sword's handle

" Oh, Alice, you're here too! "

Shu yelled in response, clapping his hands as if expressing how happy he was to see her

" Oh! Master!? So you were the one that took over the camp!? I'd expect nothing less from a martial arts master! "

Alice exclaimed in return, making the boys who were very excited to see Shu's face pummeled against the ground sigh in disappointment

" Let's go boys, we don't even have a say in things anymore "

One of them said, as each and every one of them began to cry, snot falling from their nose and onto their clothes the more they cried, soon after they turned around and left, leaving the three in the corner all by themselves

" So master how did you get here? "

Alice questioned as she stared down at Shu, who simply played with the toothpick in his mouth, not really paying attention to her after his mind had settled

" I walked until I found this place "

Shu replied as Alice's green eyes sparkled in surprise and excitement. With quickness she took out a small notebook from her pants, beginning to write down what Shu had just replied to her with

" Amazing, I'd expect nothing less from my master. And who's this guy? "

She questioned as she turned to look at Galahad, who was too busy paying attention to whatever Shu was doing

" I found him, he was getting beat up by this other dude so I helped him, now he's following me everywhere "

Shu answered, as his eyes traveled across the room, trying to find something fun to do

" Wow! Amazing! I'd expect nothing less from my master, to have gathered a follower in such a small amount of time, that is simply a great achievement sir! "

She said while quickly writing down what Shu had just told her, writing something of her own next to it

" Hey Alice "

Shu said, looking up at her from the ground as all she could do was blink, proceeding to smile as he stared down at him

" Yes, master? "

She questioned, squatting down in front of Shu with her legs pressed together

" Do you know where the monsters are at? "

Shu asked as Alice tilted her head in return

" Yes, but why do you ask? "

Alice questioned in return, making Shu smile with excitement in his eyes

" Oh nothing really, I just wanna give em a visit, you know to rough em up a bit "

Shu replied as he cracked his knuckles, smiling from ear to ear as all Alice could do was admire him, all while being stared at by Galahad

" What's up with this girl? It's like she's obsessed with everything Shu does, is she crushing on him or something? Wait, now that I think about it, she seems familiar, where have I seen her before? "

Galahad thought as he watched the two converse, both were smiling, they seemed excited to do whatever it was they wanted to do

" Come on master, I'll take you to a lair filled with monsters! "

Alice said as she clasped her hands together, standing up, turning around, and beginning to walk

" Let's go right now! "

She added as Shu simply chuckled, standing up with quickness, following behind her, and without wanting to be left behind, Galahad followed them.
