Abby and Annie (Part 1)
While Hot Buns was having a 'fun' time, and Bloody Harvest was unconscious somewhere on the trading center...
--- Targon's Magic Shop ---
Roasted Boar and the two clerics from the guild, Abby and Annie, was currently browsing goods to buy in this shop.
"Hey, you two realize that you do not have to follow me every time right? Besides, I saw a magic shop near this place that is more suitable for you guys."
Roasted Boar sighed as he looked at the two girls pretending to browse through spell books that were tagged as 'Destruction Magic'.
"Umm... Is it really fine? What if we get lost? How will we find you guys?" Abby started panicking and closed the spell book she was attempting to read.
"Just use the guild emblem. (What happened to them? I remembered that these two were pros back in the day... Is it because of the changes that happened in the game?) Well, it's all up to you though what you want to do. If both of you are fine just tagging along, then fine."
After that, Roasted Boar continued minding his own business and looked for spell books that he wanted.
"Come on sis. I told you it was a bad idea." Annie told Abby as she led her outside the shop.
...
--- Trading Center, Golden Moon Academy ---
"Umm... why are we leaving? Do you need to use the bathroom again?" Abby asked while stuttering a bit as she did not know what was running through her sister's mind.
"I want to do different things with the money we got. I just wanted you to know. So, do you want to follow me or keep on following Roasty?" Annie said while slightly displeased with her sister's weak character.
"Umm... umm... (What should I do?)"
Not waiting for Abby's reply, Annie went towards the shop Roasted Boar mentioned to them.
"Sis! Wait up! (Am I really that of a bother to others? Huhuhu...)"
Abby followed Annie as she cried softly.
...
--- Twin Cleric's Goodie Shop ---
This shop, unlike the usual where shelves or display cases were lined up and contained different goods for sale, this shop looked like a bedroom.
The walls of the shop had a light purple color. The only difference of it from a bedroom was probably the counter at the right side of the room.
"Good morning ladies... I mean children..."
The one who greeted Abby and Annie was an old lady who was wearing a hooded purple robe with the academy's symbol printed on its back. She was also holding a walking cane to support herself.
"Good morning to you to grandma! I want to look at the stuff for sale please."
Annie was the one who spoke up.
Looking at the cute face of the kids in front of her, the old lady smiled and handed over a ring to Annie.
"Look inside the ring and see what you are looking for."
After that, she looked at Abby and asked if she also needed something.
"Umm... (What should I do now? Sis, help me. Why is this old lady staring at me like that?)" Abby tried tugging Annie's robe to get her attention, but she saw Annie was currently busy browsing through the contents of the storage ring the old lady gave her.
Seeing Abby panicking for no reason, the old lady tried to comfort her and placed her hand on her head and said, "What's wrong my child? Do you need any help?"
The next thing that happened after that, Abby suddenly screamed and bolted out of the shop.
"Child! (What's wrong with that little girl? Was it just me or is she scared of me?)"
The old lady felt her heart becoming heavy after she realized that a little girl got scared of her. "But I tried to be as compassionate as possible... Am I doing it wrong?"
Oblivious to the happenings around her, Annie was trembling in excitement as she saw different kinds of skill books, staves, orb, and other stuff related to the Cleric Class within the ring.
...
Outside the Twin Cleric Goodie Shop...
"I just want to go home. I do not want to play anymore. I hate this game!" Abby silently told herself as she cried on a corner near the shop. She did not realize that her actions looked a bit baffling to onlookers and got their attention.
One of these onlookers was Cidney, the one whom Bloody Harvest accidentally groped just a few minutes ago. She was also feeling sad. Her day was just so terrible that she wanted to go home. Just as she was having this thought, she saw Abby crying.
"Should I go help that little girl?"
When she was thinking of such, she unconsciously remembered her little sister in the real world who just looked like Abby. Her short black hair, cute rounded eyes, and even how she acts.
So she decided to approach Abby and said, "What's wrong kid? Need any help?"
...
Abby stopped crying the moment she heard a sweet voice talking to her. She then saw a strange person in front of her, who was currently offering her help.
"Umm... No thanks. But thanks for asking. (Wow. She's pretty.)"
Cidney sat down in front of Abby and said, "It's fine. No need to be shy. Want me to take you somewhere else? Or do you want to eat something?"
Not even having a chance to refuse, Cidney suddenly grabbed Abby's left hand and led her somewhere.
"Umm... I actually have... umm... (Where is she taking me?! Annie?! Help?! Waaaaahhh!!!)"
...
Back at the Twin Cleric Goodie Shop...
"I'm sorry child. I can only sell you the stuff you want if you are already at the recommended tier. As I see it, you are just a Tier 2 Cleric. You do not even have a secondary Class. So don't even try attempting to use these stuff." The old lady was currently having a headache since Annie kept on insisting buying skill books that was of 5th tier or higher.
"Why don't you go back and attend the lectures at the Cleric Classroom? And if Elder Lissandra approves of it, maybe someone will allow you to take your Class Promotion."
After hearing this from the old lady, Annie thanked her for the reminder and immediately rushed out of the shop and went towards the cleric classroom on the 1st floor of the academy.
"Better hurry! (Why do I feel I am forgetting something? Or someone? Well, screw it! I want those skill books!)"
