Decision

Zero watched as Bell walked away unsure if she looked down on him from the previous wolf incident. Louis just smiled and looked back at Zero "Don't worry about it she's usually pretty quiet and only ever opens up rarely. She's barely talked to me and I've known her most her life so you're not at fault bud." Louis said as he patted his large hands on Zeros back to comfort him. Theo just enjoyed seeing Zero in a troubled position ' wait until you actually start training to feel bad' Theo thought to himself. Louis showed him the rest of the shop but Zero wasn't interested in buying any new weapons or armor so he left.

Zero walked out of the shop with Theo following behind. "So where do you plan on going now?" Theo asked Zero. Zero stopped " I'm going to find my family and go talk to them and see what my next step is." he said as he turned and smiled at Theo. "Thank you so much for everything so far but I need to think about this decision." zero said as he walked off.

Louis stepped out from standing on the front entrance leaning against the door polishing a dagger. "So do you think he's going to come back?" Louis asked. Theo walked next to Louis and just leaned against the wall saying " Yes I think his instinct is going to lead him back to what's going to allow him to become stronger in this place." Louis just nodded understanding Zero's desire to become stronger. "Well why don't you come inside and well catch up on some of your latest adventures." Louis smiled saying to Theo as he walked back inside. Theo closely followed and asked " So any news from the generals about your court-martial." as Theo asked this he suddenly felt a cold tip at his throat. " Come on now Theo I told you once before its rude to ask about my personal matters like that." Louis said with a smile which turned into a cold stare while holding his dagger to Theos throat. Theo just smiled and started leaking his Aura into the room. Both battle hardened "men" released their killing intent when they heard the back door open.

They both stopped to see Bell walking into the shop looking at the both of them with a confused look. Louis laughed and put his hand on the back of his head saying " haha you always knew how to cause trouble, now lets sit down and have a conversation on that guy Zero." Bells elf ears wiggled slightly hearing his name showed she had a slight interest in Zero. Theo noticed this and just laughed in his head 'meeting with this girl one time and hes already has her interest as well. Seems he is rather unique' . " Yes, yes ill tell you the story once you get me a good drink." Louis just got up and grabbed a cup and returned putting it in front of Theo. Theo took a drink and spat it out

" What is this water!?" he exclaimed. "Well of course you are underage you know" Louis said grinning. Theo wiped his mouth and clicked his tongue "FIne it doesn't matter i'll tell you the story.."

.. Zero was walking back to town when he started talking to Zofia " Hey Z, youve been quiet for awhile now are you alright?" "..." Zero didn't get a response. " Zofia?" he asked again " Yes" she replied. "Hey how come you didn't respond the first time?" he asked. "Because host tried giving me a horrendous nickname." she replied. " What? Z is perfectly normal for someone with a name like yours. How about I call you Zozo? Maybe Fifi? Zof?" Zero tapped his chin while he thought of names. "Commencing self destruct sequence of host mind t-minus 10...9...8" zofia said. "WOAAAH, Zofia you know im just joking theres no way i'd give you such lame nicknames." Zero panicked hearing her counting down. "7....6...5...." she continued. " Wait, wait im sorry okay, forgive me and my bad naming." Zero shouted out loud trying to appease Zofia. "Sequence deactivated." Zero sighed a large breath in relief. " Thanks. I knew you wouldn't try to kill me Zozo." he said while winking. ".....4....3...2" Zofia responded. "OK,OK im done" Zero threw his arms in the air. "....Sequence deactivated. Time remaining 1.4 seconds." Zofia said. Zero wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Anyways really why so quiet lately?" he asked seriously. " I,ve been processing host information you gathered while you were away. Also youve been taking the right path into becoming stronger for yourself so I havent had to guide host as often." Zofia replied. Zero scrunched his lips and left it at that.

Zero continued towards the town, when he got closer he pulled out his tracking item to locate his family. He was a few blocks away and it was almost mid-afternoon so he decided to stop at a cart to buy some food to bring to them. Zero continued till he got to a decent spot of town and walked in front of a nicer looking building than the one he saw previously the last time he was with his family. He made his way in when he saw a small old woman at the front desk. "Hello how are you?" she greeted him as he walked towards her. Zero smiled and said "Hello im looking for my family they should be staying in a room here." "Oh yes, yes I believe the young lady with the little girl said you would be coming. Go ahead and head upstairs they are in the 2nd room on the left" she said smiling towards Zero while pointing towards the stairs right next to her. Zero gave a slight nod thanking her as he walked towards the stairs. Zero arrived in front of the door when he was about to knock lightly he heard "So you decided to run away without paying any fees for canceling our contract." "Sir I understand but we dont want to live there anymore it doesn't say we need to pay or tell you in advanced well make sure all our stuff is gone by tomorrow we just needed someplace else to stay to meet my...." zero heard his sister speaking when she was interrupted by the other voice. "Your what! Your lover. Of course you're probably a woman who sleeps around. Well if you want to wave fees by other means.." Just then the door was kicked in. Everyone in the room was startled when they saw the door kicked open. They all looked and saw a man standing there looking at the ground while his fist were shaking. "Okay I think i've heard enough of your bullshit." Zero said as he walked into the room seething with anger towards this annoying man..
