Chapter 51
"well, the first thing is to go towards the guild for the money... he just said, but you have other materials besides the stinger right?
With his question images of all the fights against monsters on the way here start to flash through my mind, I'm not talking about inside the desert, but in the dark zone.
"Sure, let's just say I haven't been in a guild in quite some time, so I have quite a bit of material."
Hearing those words Andrey gave me a small nod and started walking out of the wealthy sector of the city, the city is built in a way that resembles one, (+) at each end of the cross are different sectors be it the wealthy, industry, entertainment, military zone and in the center is the residential area being this the one we are heading to.
Leaving the rich section which by the way was quite beautiful now in the sunlight, we entered the residential area that stands out for its houses of sandstone, terracotta and other materials from the sands, even so every now and then there is a palm tree giving shade or a kind of canvas that is used to cover the porch from the sun.
"It's quite colorful around these parts, eh".
"Aren't you an adventurer, something like this you should have seen?"
As we walked down the central street which was clean, come on it's a desert, I thought there would be dust floating everywhere, we started talking about random things.
"No, let's just say that finding a desert in a country that's characteristic is cold and snow is quite difficult."
As if in deep thought he goes silent and simply follows me down the street, before I can ask what he is thinking about, I feel three unknown people approach us and obviously removed my sword from the ring, as it is a normal thing around here to be armed.
"Brother Andrey!"
With the shout of two children coming from behind, Andrey grabs my sword carrying arm before saying they are not a problem followed by this he turns around and puts on a small smile before speaking to them.
"What are you guys doing here, didn't we talk about you wouldn't come out without me telling you."
With a half angry voice, but keeping the softness to talk to the children, Andrey started to scold them, I'm just saying, but did he forget that he was missing for a few days.
"It's just that brother Andrey had been missing for a few nights, even the older sister got up to look for him around town."
You couldn't tell if he speaks or cries because of his all weird dialogue, Andrey upon hearing the final part which was more coherent because he calmed down the child, gave me a "you can" look and shot off into an alleyway with a child under each arm.
"I've been left alone..."
Whispering those words under my breath, as it seems this family has a knack for quick escape and with this loneliness coming back to me memories of the desert, I wasn't going to go through that again! Then the only thing I could do is summon Sif and if in the middle of the street that I'm all crazy.
"Come Sif!"
Sounding the crystal flute in the middle of the street, it creates a small cyclone of sand and gravel attracting the attention of all nearby to look to see what happens, then from the cyclone begins to expand scared people who begin to scream and even more when they see the shadow of the giant wolf.
"stop there!"
"Throw the salami to the ground!
Wait... what the fuck did the second soldier say.
With the arrival of the patrolling soldiers things started to get more intense by the second, things almost exploded, as Sif kept enlarging his body and I couldn't let go of the flute, since I'm in the middle of a summoning, in those moments from the top of a house Ekaterina appears like a ninja.
"Miss Ekaterina!"
"We distract you and you finish it."
The soldiers began to prepare a strategy and everything, though it all ended with a blow to the head with Ekaterina's sword sheath.
"He's a guest of our house, he just doesn't know well the rules governing Chistaya and its vicinity, then you guys will forget this."
"But miss, he has broken the rules."
Although one the older one nodded, the other who was younger and more temperamental, then refused, until Ekaterina said something about special training and left instantly.
"So are you done or what?"
Looking over at me still giving mana to the flute, Sif's figure steadies and the dust begins to recede.
"Done I'm done!"
With my words the figure of Sif is fully materialized on the street and in less than a few seconds he takes a small form and climbs on my head.
"Long time no see master and you seem to have become a M, just a few harsh words and you're done."
Letting out a few small giggles above my head, I start to think about what that means until I drop.
"fuck you Sif! Besides, you hadn't gotten all mature or something."
With us starting to chat as usual, ah how I missed this, we are approached by Ekaterina and she starts circling us on all sides while looking at Sif.
"So this is the relic that gave you the C rank, summoning type, and for being a wolf I'd say ice or air type"
"hey master who is the girl that if she put her braid over her shoulder she would have the hairstyle of death."
Listening to Sif's words I start to see Ekaterina in more detail and really just a change here another there and that's it.
"cof, cof, don't take what she says to heart, it's simply a relic with quite a history, and in her part you're right, it's a summoning type."
Watching as she looks back and forth between Sif and I for a few seconds, as she finishes that she motions for us to start walking beside her.
"So where are we going then?"
"I'm serious master, a stranger beckons you and you follow her."
Asking where we are going Ekaterina from the side jumps Sif, oh right she hasn't been around the last few days, need to fill her in.
"Since I saved you from being arrested I have to take care of you, I wouldn't want you to get arrested and give little Andrey's name, coghh whatever it is the first thing will be the guild."
"Wait! How do you know why we were going to the guild... You didn't follow us all the time, did you?
Seeing Ekaterina's answer the hairs on my skin stand up, poor Andrey protective sister who touched him... Naa who am I kidding damn, lucky.
With all said and done we start moving towards the guild building.
