Chapter-7
I keep walking after leaving the hostess of fertility.
*Tap*Tap*Tap*
little by little the noisy street starts becoming silent
*Tap*Tap*Tap*
The amount of people starts dwindling
*Tap*Tap*Tap*
After walking for a little while longer I come across a deserted street.
"This seems about right"
I mumble to myself as I look at the empty street.
I then make my way towards the bench by the road and sit down on it.
I put my hand inside of my pocket and take out the harmonica placed inside.
'I still can't believe that they sell even these here'
4 months ago I saw a shop selling musical instruments and managed to buy them from there.
'It was quite expensive though...'
A bitter smile forms on my face as I once again remember its cost.
But it was worth it.
After all, there is no internet here and most of the books are fairytales that do not suit my taste so my only form of entertainment is this little guy.
I get rid of all of my useless thoughts and put the harmonica on my lips.
A melodious rang's out on the street.
Pleasant wind starts blowing while moonlight covers the street as I play the Titanic's theme on my harmonica.

I stop after a few minutes.
'That was refreshing'
*Clap*Clap*Clap*Clap*
A sound of gentle claps rang's out.
I look to my right and see a lady in brown coloured dress holding a basket in her arm while clapping.
I noticed her presence once I started playing but I didn't stop her from listening as she didn't seem to have any malicious intent.
*That was wonderful*
The girl said in a happy voice.
"I'm glad that you liked it"
I give a short reply and turn around to leave.
"Will you play again tomorrow??"
"Maybe"
I give her a ambiguous answer and leave without waiting for her to continue.

"JULIA stop fooling around and pay attention"
"Sorry leader"
"Dylan how many times do I have to tell you to not run off ahead by yourself??"
"It won't HAPPEN AGAIN"
"Sigh that's what you always say"
Leader sighs after hearing Dylan's reply.
"William point out the direction"
"It's right through this cave"
I point at one of the many caves around us.
"Let's go then"
-----------
"Here's your valis have a nice day"
I take the money from the counter and go back to the party.
"Well distribute the same as yesterday and the excess money will be used for weapon maintainance, Is that okay with everyone"
"Yes"X3
"That's good and as we decided before we won't go to dungeon tomorrow"
"Okay"X3
"Well then enjoy your holiday guys and lets us meet after tomorrow"
We say our goodbyes and go our separate ways.
"William---"
I was thinking of going back home when a familiar voice calls me out from behind.
"What is is Julia?"
I ask while looking at Julia whose waking towards me.
"Well~~I was just wondering if you were free tomorrow~~"
I become silent after hearing her say that but in fact right now my mind starts working in hyperdrive.
Is she asking me out?
She's asking me out right?
She is definitely asking me OUT!!
If I am being Frank then Julia does look beautiful with those orange hair and bright personality of her she is a fun person to be with.
Wait wait what am I thinking right now? I should totally reject her after all I am an adventurer and I don't know when I'll end up in a monsters mouth and I wouldn't want her to be alone after I end up dyin---why am I thinking so far ahead when she has just ask me out.
A million thought go through my mind as my face starts turning serious.
I should reject her.
I come to this conclusion after thinking about how I live in a broken church.
"Are you perhaps busy tomorrow??"
Julia opens her mouth after seeing the serious expression on my face.
I once again look at Julia and see droplets of water form on the corners of her eyes as she waits for my reply.
After looking at her I finally steel my heart and say
"NO I am definitely Free TOMORROW"
I am a weak willed man.
