Chapter 6 - 6 : Friend

Yesterday, the persuasion was successful.

After they saw my skill and have a taste of my food, they finally let me use the kitchen freely.

They were still worried about my safety and I asked if they could build me a new stove and I was willing to pay with my wages working at the inn.

I drained my brain to make a new design that I can use to fulfill my heart.

"Why did you lose in thought at such a young age?"

I was startled and saw the girl that was one of the guests walking towards me.

"Well age is just a number isn't it?"

She showed a pretty smile and sat beside me.

In front the inn was a wide lawn. And some brick path that leads to the inn. The main road was quite far from the inn.

Sir Boru has made a few benches and a table. He said it was nice to talk outside when the sky is blue, the breeze can slowly ease the heart.

"How old are you"

"I am 15, my name Vierra"

I moved my hand to shake her hand. She was startled a bit but still reached my hand.

"I am Lana, I just turned 17"

"I am sorry, am I being rude to you?"

"No… it is my honour a noble lady to talk to me and shake my dirty and rough hand. You see, I've been doing a labour job since I was a child. That's why I feel embarrassed when you want to shake my hand. Only noble and rich people do that"

"You have a pretty hand, It shows how hard and noble you are by doing all the work to survive on your own."

"Thank you, your mom told me the same thing yesterday. When she tried to look at my injury and I felt embarrassed with my hand"

"My mom?"

"You are the daughter of this Inn Owner right?"

"Oh… I'm Not…"

My words were interrupted when a young man called her. He was her big brother, he said they were gonna check out in an hour. They talked about food and their other members' fevers.

They are afraid they have to walk slowly and worried that they don't have enough food as they think to save the money for their mother's medication later.

After they finish discussing their preparation, Lana sits back next to me.

"Is it everything ok, Lana?"

"No, we are worried about food and our money. One of our members has a fever, that's why we come to this Inn and use some of our savings. We cannot afford to buy extra food."

She obviously worried but she was rather calm.

"Lana, where are you from?"

"We are from the east, we live in a small village up at the hill."

"You travel a lot?"

"When fall comes around, most of the young people travel to prepare for the upcoming winter."

"What kind of job do you do?"

"We were lucky, me and my brother Greg were born with Level 2 Physical Host. So, we just do some labour jobs for the rich. It pays well. But sometimes the money is not that helpful. Even you got lots of money it still cannot help you to bring the food and necessity to home"
