I walked leisurely this time as i'm not in a hurry to do anything at the moment and head into the department store i went to yesterday. I went inside and the atmosphere is very different from yesterday, it was bustling with humans.
I walked around to find a store that sells mobile phones and while i was walking i thought to myself how can this mall make any profit with all the monsters running around, i mean i know that a monster barging into the mall is unlikely but what if it happened, not my problem though.
I found a store named "Pear", an apple rip-off, well it's not thought since apple didn't exist here, I don't really like pear's phones as it kind of resembles apple, very pricey, probably not worthed and I've been using Samsang in my whole previous life, so i tried searching for it.
Sadly nothing comes close to Samsang, so i just went back to the Pear store and bought a P-Phone XV, meaning Pear Phone Gen-15....it seems like with monster advancing more rapidly, technology too advance in a fast pace, i found out they're releasing a 3 New pear phone every 2 years...Okay.
1 Hour later i finished setting up my phone and got a new number, for the total cost of 120.000 Yen, really pricey, ugh, at least the phone itself is good if not i might go Venom and steal a phone....Nah, isn't worth the trouble.
Now is 2.42, almost 3.00 so i decided to start waiting in line for the registry, and after asking for directions i finally reached the Hero association Q-City Branch and when i arrive there i was surprised.
The lines are, not long at all, i realized that the main timeline has not started yet so there shouldn't be that much people that have awakened their powers or at least control them, there are only about 25 dudes and 5 girls signing up with 1 small girl at the very back of the line.
Most of the dudes are either stupid-looking but thinks they are strong or just muscle, muscle and muscle...there is one guy that i recognized though, He's a man with cut-short hair, wearing a Kung Fu suit with white trimming here and there, Blue Fire. He left an impression on me, to be exact an impression of a fraud, using mini flamethrowers to pretend like he can use magic, pretty smart though.
Other than him, i recognized no one else from the men and women, most likely they will fail to join or be and remain at C or B-Class. I then turned to see the only girl at the back of the line, she wears a casual track suit and pants just like me, except she ain't got my cool Pikochu design.
From her back and flowing ponytail, i can't seem to recognize her, she seems familiar in some way, i'm kind of interested as who she might be so i lined up behind her and greets her. While walking towards her
"Hello I'm Jack" I said in a friendly manner while extending my hand to the girl.
The girl seemed surprised at my greeting and blushed a little, she looks at my face then my hand and shook it back with her tiny hands as she replied "Hi, I'm Lily"
When i get a sight of her face, i was pretty surprised, i surely did not expect, even in my wildest dream to meet her while registering, it's actually pretty hard to believe. To be honest, I'm actually kind of "interested" on her the moment i saw her in the manga, not the web comic, but then when i saw her age....it weirded me out, she's freaking 14 for f*cks sake! I'm not sure of my exact age before i died but i'm pretty sure i'm at least 5, 10 years older than her!....
Seeing me not letting her hand go and not responding she called out to me "Are you alright?".
I was startled for a while and immediately regain my composure, i let go of her hand and said to her that I'm alright, i then asks her.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here, i'm pretty sure you're just 13-14 years old and for all i know this is not a place for you to have fun." I asked her, i sometimes wonder why she became Fubuki's secretary and all that, she's 14 and One didn't give any backstory to her so i just had to know...for certain purposes....
I could see Lily becoming uncomfortable, not wanting to answer my question, well i kind of expected that, i too would not tell a stranger i just met my backstory, i guess i need to become friends with her, i only wanted to help her.....yeah just helping
"It's okay if you don't want to answer but be careful if you do get accepted, the world out there is dangerous, tell me if you need any help, here's my number." I gave her a note with my new number written on it. When she heard the first part, she seemed to visibly relax and when the next part came, she became flustered again.
Seeing her being flustered and her face turning pink, i started grinning....no, No, NO, Jack you are NOT a pedophile, You Are Not!
Seeing her in a pickled situation makes me really want to tease her more but i could see the line had started going in, to my regret i need to stop, for today at least, I ask her to just accept my number and call me if she ever need my help, she finally accepts my number after i told her that the line is moving, she took the note and put it into her right pants pocket.
Looking at her back and swaying blue ponytail, i realized that she really is just a little girl, in the Anime, she is portrayed like a teenager around 18 or something but i guess that's anime logic for you.
Looking at her flowing hair i noticed that the iconic Lily on top of her head is missing, her hair is not even styled to cover one of her pearl-like eyes like the original, she currently looks like the typical cute little girl in an anime except for her blue strand of hair and honestly, i kind of dig this version of Lily more...
