'Just what did I do to deserve this?' Plutia thought to herself.
"Alright that will be enough. I won't punish you anymore with your phobias. You can go now Plutia." Sinaeb said as he started walking closer to her.
"N-no! S-stay away you monster!" She screamed in fear.
Sinaeb who heard this immediately stopped his movement. He then looked towards the face of Plutia for the first time ever since he started punishing her. He then realized how scared and pained Plutia was through her face.
His heart had ached the moment he saw her face. However he knew he had to do it so she would learn her lesson. He then started to walk out the door and left it open for her so she could walk out.
Plutia who saw him walked out finally started to calm down. She then groggily got up from the ground. When she was walking down the flight of stair to her room she fell due to her lack of energy.
Thud
She then lost her consciousness from the impact. After she had fallen into an unconscious state a man finally came out from the shadows. The man was Sinaeb.
"Ai yai yai. How should I deal with you?" Sinaeb said as she shook his head left and right with a slight smile on his face.
He then picked Plutia up in a princess carry as he brought her to her own room. He then laid her down on the bed.
"Goodnight Plutia." He whispered into her ears.
After saying these words he left her room and locked it as he went back to his room to continue working on the papers he had to work on originally.
...
Somewhere in one of the rooms of the SizzInnMi.
"Ugh... Where am I?" Mrs. Hummel asked croaked.
"You're in a inn room teacher." Sally's voice was heard on another bed.
"Right... What happened to me..." Mrs. Hummel asked Sally.
Sally who anticipated the question had a answer prepared. However she still paled when she thought of what was actually happening to the said person.
"Y-you just suddenly fainted Mrs. Hummel. You probably saw a ghost or something..." Sally told a lie.
"No! There's no way that could've happened... Hey, wheres the other girls?" Mrs. Hummel asked.
"Nicole's taking a bath right now. As for Laura she said she was gonna go out and buy some food." Sally replied while intentionally leaving Plutia out of it.
"Oh... So where is Plutia?"
"S-she... She's at the guild currently..." Sally said.
"Why is she still at the guild?" Mrs. Hummel asked.
"I-I don't know."
"That's odd." Mrs. Hummel muttered to herself.
Snap
"That's right! We need to go save Plutia right now! I don't know if shes living anymore but I won't let Plutia-chan die!" Mrs. Hummel snapped her fingers as she finally remembered what happened.
'Oh dear...' Sally thought to herself as she saw Mrs. Hummel run out of the room.
...
"Ha~ I wonder how Plutia's doing." Brian muttered out loud while he was laying on a bed.
"Probably dead now that I think about it." Roger replied.
"Say Roger do you want to join our party? I mean you are a solo adventurer. It's not like you can always do stuff alone. Like for example you almost died today." Brian asked him.
"Sure why not? I mean you guys are basically only a year younger than me, so I guess I could fit in just well." Roger replied.
The two boys then looked at each other from different beds. The stares they gave at each other was intense. However it ended due to a voice barging in.
"Hey Brian! You wanna go shopping for some supplies?" Robert said from outside the room while knocking on the door.
"Just a sec' Let me get ready!" Brian replied from inside the room.
"Come on, ready yourself. We're going to buy some supplies." Brian said while looking at Roger.
"Hahaha, alright. You got me there. I'll join you guys because it sounds like fun." Brian replied back while chuckling a little.
...
Knock Knock
"Who is it?" Nicole's voice sounded from inside the room.
"It's us! Do you girls want to go shopping for some supplies?" Robert's voice was heard from outside the room.
"""Alright!""" The girls said including Mrs. Hummel who wanted to keep them safe so she went along.
Creak
Nicole opened the door as she saw the four boys standing outside their room in the hallway. She then scolded them for taking up the hallway space.
"""We're sorry!""" They all apologized with tears in their eyes as they were afraid of Nicole hitting them.
"Just what is happening..." Laura muttered to herself as she had just entered the inn again.
"Oh we're going shopping for supplies. You just bought food right? Put them in the room and come back out with us to buy some supplies." Nicole said to Laura.
The group then turned to look at Laura who had grocery bags covered around her with a load of food. They all looked at her with a puzzled expression.
They thought, 'Just how strong is she to carry all of that!'
They completely got rid of the thought as they saw Laura walk into the girls room and dropped off the grocery bags. Once Laura finished and came back to meet with the group they then headed off towards the shopping district.
...
Scarborough Shopping District
That is what the signboard says when the group entered the lively district.
"Holy cow! There are so many people here!" Peter exclaimed.
"That's not the thing! Look at those swords! They're so expensive!" Robert cried out.
"Look at the scabbard price! That's more than your average meal!" Brian pointed out.
"Why is the bow so expensive!" Laura cried out when she realized how expensive the bow was even though it wasn't high quality.
"Kid's calm down! This is normally the price as it's a shopping district that focuses on profit and not the buyer's.
"Welp, follow me everyone. This shop has the supplies we'll need." Roger said as he gestured them to follow him.
The group followed him until he stopped at one certain store.
The store was named 'Grongar's Safe Travels'.
