Chapter 22 - the guy is a lie

(a/n: once you finish reading, should I keep this writing style, or change it back to my last one?)

Shin: "so kid, we've gotten here, but I've never told you why" 

Shin told Shiro, who realised that he's just been following Shin without knowing why he was there, but he still didn't care

Shiro: "it's fine, I'm just not gonna ask, it's easier than you giving an info dump"

Shin nodded, knowing that Shiro was right

Shin: "just tell me if you wanna know"

Shiro: "sure"

And so they just went on with the day, Shin listening to the people and finding out more information, and buying things like a brush and ink, while Shiro was acting like a kid and enjoying exploring different places since Shin didn't want him to be bored

It was soon night and they went into an inn and Shiro went to bed while Shin opened a book on magic arrays, which where like permanent magic circles, and got down two basic ones that were gonna be useful

He got the brush and ink out of his inventory and put and array for detecting any new people that enter and one that would put some protection against someone with malicious intentions, although they weren't perfect he expected it since it was his first time making it

He then left and went to a bar, near the inn, it was a nice place and most people were enjoying themselves, he was going to only get a light drink and light drink and talk to other people but someone convinced him to get something heavier

Man "So kid, why did you come here?"

He man asked Shin while having a huge red blush after drinking a lot of alcohol

Shin: "well, I've met a kid before, he had purple hair, and by my guess he lives here, I've come to return a favour"

Shin told him, a small blush covering his face, remembering the small child, who reminded him of Shiro slightly, and when he thought about it the two really looked like brothers

Man: "oh, that must be Kira, nice kid I tell ya, just has a horrible mother, back when I visited him he was always smiling, but I heard that was the only time he did, after that he stopped, and I couldn't visit him recently"

The man said with sadness, thinking about Kira

Shin: "wait, you know him? Nevermind, where does he live? I have a map that he gave me"

Shin took the map out, and the man looked at it, he placed his finger on one of the big buildings, that had noble then a  very overbearing last name followed by the word mansion, and when he lifted his finger a yellow circle was on it

Shin: "so he's there, thanks, I'll go visit there myself once I'm done with something else I needed to do"

Shin put the map back and continued talking to the man, enjoying the conversation

Man: "alright, but let's get drunk tonight"

Shin: "sure, but I already drunk a lot and am still not drunk"

Man: "great, you can drink more"

The man laughed and ordered more alcohol for himself and Shin. In the end the man was unconscious and laying on the table, while Shin wasn't able to walk properly, no matter how high his tolerance was he had to much and craved for more

But the bartender stopped him, not wanting another unconscious mess, and without being able to get more he walked out of the bar

Outside the bar was Eran, walking towards, it, saying in a disappointed tone

Eran: "You had to go to the bar, father, what will I ever do with you"

As he walked, be saw Shin wobbling to him, he remembered the man and greeted them

Eran: "hello sir, have you seen my father?"

Shin: "ishavenyshenhimmaybhetthbarnehe"

Shin's mumbling was heard by Eran, who somehow understood it and nodded, thanking Shin and asking him if he wants help to get to whatever inn he's staying in

Shin walked towards Eran, clearly intoxicated, and when he was In front of the person he fell unconscious

Eran didn't expect it and caught him, sighing and putting him on his shoulders, walked to the bar closest to the area and saw the man, who was now conscious again and looked at his son and Shin

Man: "so kid, you're gonna stop me from having my fun"

Eran: "father, I am only going to say this once, come home or I'm hiding your stash, now follow me"

Eran started leaving and the man quickly complied, following his son, until they reached a mansion, putting Shin in a guest bathroom

Six hours later, Shin woke up sober, and saw he was in a place he wasn't familiar with, but he didn't mind and looked around the room, he walked out of the room, and looked into his inventory, seeing some extra clothes

He heard something that sounded like a shower and walked towards the room, entering it. There was another room and he took his clothes off and putting them in his inventory for later, and entered the bathroom

Shin saw a large bathtub, big enough to fit about ten human adults, and Eran in it. When he saw Erans naked body, there was a lack of sausage and surprising amount of muscles, and surprising amount of melons

Shin has no reaction and entered the tub, Eran was to surprised to react and quickly covered her areas, blushing embarrassed

It was awkwardly silent and the two didn't talk for a while, when he was finished Shin walked out of it, using magic to purify the water and just equipped his clothes like they where armour

Shin: "Thanks for helping me, it would be annoying be drunk and fall unconscious on the street"

Shin said, with his normal voice as if he didn't realise what happened

Eran: "N-No problem, please l-leave the room" 

He, or she? said, stuttering. 

Shin nodded and left the room, then the mansion, he walked back to the inn he was in before, walked to his room and woke Shiro up

Shiro: "good morning dad"

Shiro said with a tired voice and yawned, then used self taught magic to clean himself

Shiro: "so, where are we going today dad?"

Shin: "Welp, get ready to storm a mansion"

Shiro: "dad? Did you become drunk?"

Shin: "I'm not anymore"

Shiro: "I'm going back to sleep"

Shiro falls asleep and shim just looks blankly at him, then left by himself
