Leaving Tesh to her brain malfunction, Tria had left again with Crei and Chukah, leaving Hepri again to watch her.
It was already nighttime and the guards were still searching for the Priestess who had caused a commotion throughout the land earlier today.
"Search all the woman you see, without any exception," yelled out one guard leader to his guards.
"Yes, Sir!"
Everyone had heard of the guards wreaking havoc looking for the priestess, and to avoid the unnecessary, most have closed shop and went home early. The only place who was still ambient was a bar owned the Eye Clan, and that was Tria's destination.
When she arrived, there was no resistance since she was now a boy, except for her group foreign's feeling, nothing seemed out of place.
They found a table at a discreet corner and ordered food normally while listening to the patrons' conversation.
"Although I am grateful that priestess has fixed our barrier, this commotion she caused, it won't die down until they find her, business was already slow..what are we going to do?"
"Shh, lower your voice a bit, have you forgotten where you were?!"
"Ah you're right, I'm just frustrated."
"I am too, and that's why we're here if we can find some information on where the priestess might be, from now on we won't have to worry about selling anything..the Eye clan has promised us gold, GOLD! haha!"
This conversation between the two merchants was being heard by Tria and company. It would seem that the Eye Clan has involved the people in searching for her as well.
'No matter, greed always bring one to the same destination, regret. I am only here to end the Eye Clan for good, as long as that's done, humanity can continue the same way it has always been...'
Her thought was interrupted by a sudden silence that took place. A tremor of footsteps approached and came into the bar.
The newcomers were being led by a little girl with pigtails, and her eyes were scanning everyone in the bar until they reached Tria's. She paused on Tria and her group, and suddenly walked over to their table.
Buni was the girl who had come in, she walked to Tria's table and join in their group.
"I've never seen you here before, travelers?" Buni asked sweetly.
"Hm," Tria replied with the same sentiment.
Their sizes were almost the same, except Tria looked like a big brother to Buni.
"Oh that must be fun, judging from your features, you guys must be from the Sun Land?" Buni asked, referring to Crei and Tria, Chukah had long ago gone into the shadows before her arrival.
Using the same old tactic, he will follow Buni to her base and find out what they're up to.
"It is, my big brother and I have seen a lot of cool things along the way we even got to witness the priestess' powers, isn't she so cool?" said Tria playfully.
"Tsk, she won't even show her face, not cool at all!" answered Buni.
"Oh I've seen her, she's so pretty!"
"Wait you've seen her, where?"
"Huh? why are you so interested?"
"Just tell me!"
"I will not!"
"You will!"
"You're a bully, I won't tell!"
"Tell me now, and I promise I won't hurt you!" Buni said as her innocent face turned sinister.
Tria who was a good actress had tears well up her eyes.
"Big brother!" Tria cried hiding behind Crei's large back.
Crei played along and glared at Buni.
Buni, for the first time, had felt a chill up her spine facing someone. Panicking uncontrollably, she softened down her tone.
"Just tell me where you have seen her, and I'll leave you alone."
"You promise?" Tria shyly said picking her little head out.
"Sure, sure I promise, so tell me already," Buni said impatiently.
"I saw her, getting on a boat to Centria after she had finished putting up all the lights in the sky," Tria answered innocently but proudly.
"WHAT?!"
Buni was startled to hear that the priestess the priestess had gone to Centria. She had played them a fool, distracting them to look for her on the mainland when all along she was on her way to Centria.
Buni got up and left hurriedly with her crew, unaware of the trailing Chukah, while Crei and Tria had also discreetly left the bar.
"Now that this is done, next is...them, hopefully, they'll cooperate with us on this."
"If they don't, we'll just have to compromise a bit, but we'll still end up successful," Crei added, encouraging her.
"No, they have to agree, that is the only way they'll be able to have their revenge."
