Bath now... don't take a bath... Bath now... don't take a bath... Bath now... DON'T TAKE A BATH!!!
This is awesome!
"Hey Bali we can save water expense today! We don't need to take a bath!"
Picking a six petal flower Tein will then decide what to do in the last petal. Instead of wasting their energy in fighting they started to decide things through this. Even if the outcome is always the same, just differs from what will be the starting inquiry.
"Could you look like you are very happy? You should practice having different expressions on your face normally. If you do it you will be more good in acting."
Hearing the word act Tein's ear perk up.
"If you want to act normally as you wanted to be. Try focusing in your expressions. Try learning from Iro, he really looks like a normal baby..." he really is just a baby! a baby zombie.
Tein watch Sorairo closely...
"If you stare, do you think you can learn?" Sorairo snorts, he's ok if he is being held by Tein but when her face is staring at him closely he gets irritated.
"Sor I think you need a bath. Bali and I don't smell but you? You really need one."
"No! nooo! Nooooo! You clearly said no bath today! an-and ya don't go back on your words!" He can't believe that Tein will go back with her words, it's not in his vocabulary that the other two are humans.
"Yes! yes! and yes! you're taking bath. Bali he's all yours."
Then Tein give the baby to Bali and left the two to find a public pond but water in Civili is not free, while she started to walk to the center of Civili. She wants to go somewhere fun, she wants to explore. From the moment they enter Civili they have a very normal life. They can eat once a day, they sleep everywhere and no ones bothers them.
What's this? Tein picks up a strange tag. Name changer. That's what she reads.
"Cue"
Without thinking she just blurted out the word... And an invincible black light enters her body that from that very moment everyone that knew her name is Cue and not Tein. The tag also vanished.
What the hell! Ah forget it I think it only disappeared but I'm still me and nothing happened. Let's just continue walking to the center. I can see that there are also beastmen here. Look at their fluffy ears I wanna touch it.
Ouch. If I remember I am at the sidewalk why is there a wall?
"Little girl are you lost?" Ooops So it's just a man. Looking up my eyes opened wide with surprise! This is the first time I see an elf! He is so handsome!
"Little girl - ..."
"Wait! you look familiar..." she didn't let the man finish his sentence.
"Father! it's you! wait the other day...but I'm sure it is you!" confused Tein circled and examine the man.
"Tristan."
"Huh?"
"My name is Tristan."
"Oh. Okay my name is Cue."
Wait a minute I clearly said Tein but why did it sounds different in my ears.
"Okay Cue, seeing you here in front of me saves me enough trouble of finding you. Now would you please come with me and explain to my comrades the misunderstanding you caused."
"Fa- I mean Sir Tristan are you an elf?" instead of explaining she questions. She mistook Tristan for an elf because he is really handsome.
So my name is really different now! Bali will be surprised to death!
Evil grin. That's what she thought she didn't know that everyone who knows her personally already knew that her name is Cue she is the only one that remembered her name before.
"Sir Tristan since I'm a little girl I can't just blindly follow you. You said it already! I'm a little girl." smiling innocently Tristan almost believe the girl again but he already learned once.
"You are coming with me or... you need to pay me three gold bars for damaging my image."
"What the hell! it's broad daylight robbery! It's rob-"
Tristan holds the girls mouth shut.
Having no patience he picks her up holding her sideways while covering her mouth. He then walk to where his squad is.
"I'm not an elf but I am more dangerous than an elf!"
Afraid of what the man just said Tein behaves. Sensing that the girl stops moving she puts her down.
But I think the most beautiful and handsome creatures are elves.
Pondering of what to do next Tein keeps quite.
Silently following Tristan she thinks that this turn of events will change her life. If she still follows Tristan there might be some turning point. She doesn't want to have that but life doesn't let her avoid this. They already reach the slayers building. The only place that Bali told her to avoid at any cost.
The slayers building is the third among the tallest and biggest building in Civili. It's a place owned by a mysterious person, and this person is among the top 5 wealthiest in the whole world of Appoca. No one knows what is his spot among the ranking.
"Tristan Suinen." Just saying his name allowed his entry without further questions. From his name alone anyone's who hear it will make way for him. He is part of a royal family and only the royals have second names or family name common people like Tein or Bali don't. But his entire family is already gone leaving him their entire kingdom to him but he doesn't like ruling so he left and joined the Slayers association.
Without knowing the building they enter Tein looked around her. Everything is new to her eyes and shiny. Looking at herself she's out of place and she looked like a dirt there. The people inside wears clean new clothes while she wears a simple loose dress. She clearly look like a beggar aside from her pretty face. Since she is with Tristan no one bothers to say anything to her.
"Hey. Hey. Hey. Finally you let us meet your daughter! And wow you really look similar!"
Tristan and Tein both have poker face and their expressions is really the same that they look similar.
"If you want to prolong your life, look for the squad leader and the others let's meet at the hall. Cue follow me."
"What a cute name! Little one is your name Cue?" Kirto ask with sparking eyes.
Tristan gave Kirto a warning look that Kirto quickly run away.
From their interactions and from what Cue observe she is guessing that they just entered a normal building. This is definitely not the slayers building right! How can these people be killers or assassins?
The place is full of different races, beastmen, werewolves casually walking in their wolf form. There's a group compose of guys from the bird beastmen and an orc. There is also a few succubus around. Centaurs are everywhere they are guarding every doors.
Tristan and Cue arrived at the hall and waited for the others. Not minding the girl's clothing, appearance or feelings Tristan find a seat and waits. He is indifferent to everyone. He was really amazed when he first saw the dance but that's it.
A while later everyone from his squad arrives the leader is only a bit late with Kirto and they are discussing something.
"Leader, I was informed earlier that Luna Jacqui wants to gather everyone in the fields tommorow at dawn."
"That's why the squad leaders will have a meeting tonight so let's finish this quickly."
Tristan have a great hearing heard the two so he knows he wants to clear everything fast. He introduced the girl and let her speak.
"This is Cue. She will explain everything."
Sensing that there's a little commotion Cue shortly explain everything. "Sir Tristan here is not my father and we don't have any connections. He is merely an extra to the play. I'm sorry that you misunderstood him."
After bowing to everyone she left the hall and made her way out the building. She have a sharp memory.
