Chapter 5 - Ludwig Myers

"Hi, dad! Why did you call me here?" said the handsome youth facing Uncle Myers.

"This guy is new in town so I wanted you to show him around instead of lazying around all day." Uncle Myers allowed Arthur to introduce himself.

"Hi, I'm Arthur Morgan, nice to meet you." Arthur introduced himself while taking his hand forward for a handshake.

"Hello, nice to meet you too. Name is Ludwig Myers," said Ludwig while shaking hands.

"You youths should head out now, and return home early. Tomorrow is a big day." Uncle Myers interrupted, clearly unable to hide his joy for his son's first day of university.

"Alright, I'll be back soon, dad," said Ludwig while signaling Arthur to hurry.

Arthur initiated a conversation "So, which university are you going to?"

"University of Elementals, and you?" asked Ludwig

"Oh, I'm going there too. Do you wanna go together tomorrow? " said Arthur while thinking he would have some company there.

"Sweet, I was hoping you'd ask that." Ludwig grinned "Where do you wanna go now?"

Arthur thought for a while before replying, "I want to buy a smartphone first so can you take me to the place."

"Hmmm, I know a great place for that, a friend of mine runs that place," said Ludwig.

The shop was pretty close so they got there quickly and bought a cellphone for Arthur at a low price.

"Thanks a lot, I would've taken ages to find a place like that," exclaimed Arthur.

Ludwig replied "No problem, that's what friends are for. Any other place?"

"I wanted to go to the Adventurer's Guild but I guess I can do that later. Which do you recommend?"

"There aren't many places to visit around here. Do you wanna go to the park?" asked Ludwig.

Arthur asked, "What are we gonna do at a park?"

"Talk about stuff, look at pretty girls, you would like that, wouldn't you?" said Ludwig while smirking.

"Pfffft" Arthur couldn't hold his laughter anymore "Sure, sure Young Master Myers, let's go to the park then."

They ambled towards the park while joking around. It seemed to be around 4 pm. The cool breeze made one feel like laying down and relaxing till the end of days. The boys found an empty bench under a tree and decided to sit there.

Arthur asked while still in the mood to joke "So where are the pretty girls that you spoke of?"

Ludwig knowing Arthur wouldn't take him seriously, "Stop being so desperate, will you? Good things come to those who wait.". After saying that both started laughing.

"So why did you want to go to the Adventurer's Guild?" asked Ludwig out of nowhere.

Arthur answered honestly, "I heard from your dad that they sell maps so I wanted to get one to cover my bare walls."

"You know there are things called paintings, right?" joked Ludwig.

Arthur smiled and replied, "Yes, Lord Ludwig I'll remember that next time."

Just as they were finishing their conversation they heard someone with a sweet voice laughing near the entrance of the park.

"They are here. " Ludwig said while failing to hide his joy.
