Chapter 122 - Chapter 122 Peri and Ceil

After training the two recruits for a couple of hours they sat down panting as they asked "Why haven't we been able to hit you?" Thomas glanced at them and said "It's not that your not improving, it's just that I have combat experience." Thomas walked towards them and said "You need to have combat experience to be able to think about what your opponent is going to do next." They both stood up and asked "How much longer do we have to keep this up?" Thomas shrugged and said "The paper never had a specified time limit." They stared at him and asked "Do we really have to join a guild in order to get stronger?" Thomas turned around and mumbled "So it's about strength." Thomas looked up at the sky and said "I haven't bothered joining a guild but I have been traveling with some friends." They stared at Thomas and asked "Who are your friends?" Thomas glanced at them and said "If you think we're all demi humans your wrong." They stared at him and said "Okay then if they're not demi humans what are they?" Thomas turned back to the sky and said "Our little team consists of a little girl, a princess, a harpy, and a demon." Thomas turned back to them and said "It may not be the most organized party but theirs never a dull moment." The two girls stared at Thomas and said "Can we ask you something?" Thomas stared at them and said "Go for it." They both looked at each other and nodded as they said "We've decided that we're gonna leave the guild and travel the world to get stronger!" Thomas stared at them as he asked "Am I still getting paid if you do that?" They shrugged as they said "They should at least pay you for your time." Thomas sighed and said "Well whatever it's fine either way I suppose." Thomas began to walk towards the capital as he said "I'll see you around I guess." They stood there as they said "Can we ask you one more thing?" But before they got an answer Thomas had teleported away. They both glanced at each other and said "We didn't even introduce ourselves." One of them looked at the other and said "He's heading towards the capital right now so if we wanna talk to him we have to hurry!" As Thomas appeared in front of the capital he sighed and said "All I've managed to do today was use most of mana." Thomas entered the building and said "Well it can't all be bad." As Thomas approached the counter the lady who had previously tried to kill Thomas multiple times walked up behind him and said "I'd like to apologize." Thomas stood their and mumbled "I'm exhausted, I really don't feel like dealing with this right now." Thomas turned around and asked "What do you want?" She stared at him and said "I understand that you probably don't like me, since I tried to kill you before but I understand now that your not apart of that guild and that your just a tourist." Thomas sighed and said "I don't hate you, I'd just prefer you keep your blade sheathed when your near me." She stood there and bowed and said "I'm here to apologize for what our guild has done to you and I'd like to inform you that our guild won't do it again." Thomas stared at her for a few seconds and turned around as he said "If that's all you wanted to say I'm gonna go now." As Thomas turned around she said "Wait I have something I wanted to ask you." Thomas turned around and said "Just ask the question so I can leave." She stared at him and said "I Sarah of the Rising Legion have come here to ask that you join our guild." Thomas stared at her annoyed as he said "Forget it." She stood there and said "But we need someone with your strength." Thomas turned away from her and walked towards the counter as he said "I'm here to pick up a reward of fifteen silvers for training two rookies." Thomas put the paper down on the desk as they said "Yes we are well aware people kept talking about it all over town." Thomas stared at the man confuse and asked "Who was talking about it?" The man handed Thomas fifteen silver in a small bag as he said "Everyone around town was talking about the demi human who was making fools of those two girls." Thomas sighed and said "Well they can talk about whatever they want." Thomas turned around and seen Sarah standing there as she said "So you'll train our recruits if we pay you?" Thomas stared at her annoyed and mumbled "I can either waste my last bit of mana or put up with this lady." As the two girls Thomas was training walked in they said "We still have something to ask you." Thomas seen them and mumbled "Are they following me too?" Thomas teleported away as they continued to run towards him. Sarah glanced at the two of them and said "I asked him to join my guild first." The two girls stared at her and said "We're not here to talk about guilds." They stood there and asked "Do you know where he might've went?" Sarah sighed and said "I wish I did, I'd like to get him to train our newbies." As Thomas appeared outside of the inn he mumbled "Why is everyone in this town so persistent?" Thomas yawned and said "I guess it doesn't matter now." Thomas walked into the inn and said "These guilds are getting tiring." As Thomas entered the inn Lily called him over to a table where she was sitting with the others. Thomas walked towards them and asked "What did I miss?" They stared at him and asked "Is it true that you were attacking two girls just outside of town?" Thomas stared at them and said "Yeah I was-." Lily glared at him and said "I can't believe you were just attacking two innocent people." Thomas stared at her unable to speak as she continued to yell at him. Ocis stared at Thomas and said "I'm sure you had a reason to." Daisy stared at him and said "Or maybe your finally showing your true colors." Scarlett stared at Thomas and said "You have pulled me away from a path of evil so I will do my best to bring you back towards the path of righteousness." Thomas stood there confused they continued to talk. A few moments later the two girls walked into the inn and said "We might as well give up on finding him." As Thomas stared at them they stared back without saying a word. Lily and the others went silent as they stared at the two girls. The two girls pointed at Thomas and said "Before you teleport away we'd like to ask you something." Thomas sighed and asked "What do you want?" They stood in front of Thomas and said "First off we'd like to introduce ourselves." They glanced at each other and said "We are sisters, the one with long hair is Peri, and the one with short hair is Ceil." Lily stared at Thomas and asked "Are these the two girls you were attacking?" Thomas glanced at Lily and said "I was technically attacking them but at least let me explain." Peri and Ceil stared at Lily as they said "You must be apart of his party." Lily stared at them and said "Everyone at this table is apart of the party although we don't often do quests together we do travel with each other." Peri and Ceil glanced at each other as they said "If we're gonna ask him it's now or never." They both stared at Thomas and asked "Can we join you on your adventures?" Thomas stared at them confused as Lily said "Of course you can join the more the merrier." Thomas stared at them as they stared at Lily and thanked her. Thomas stood there confused as he said "But shouldn't we put this kind of thing to a vote?" Lily glanced at the others and asked "Any objections?" Ocis raised her wing as Thomas said "I knew I could count on you." Ocis smiled and said "I don't have any objections but just know that he's mine!" Thomas sighed and said "Why do I even bother." Thomas started to walk towards the room as he said "I'm gonna to sleep." Peri and Ceil glanced at the others and said "We thank you for giving us this opportunity, we'll help you out in anyway we can." Lily smiled and said "Okay but you should know, Thomas doesn't own the party, in fact I actually own him." Ocis stared at Lily and said "He'll belong to me soon." Peri and Ceil stared at the door to the room as they said "Things must be really complicated."
