"M-mmm, this thing is so delicious..." said Jack while eating deep-fried skewers.
They were eating their dinner from the Dotonbori street shop. People of all ages are gathered there. Hardly anyone can notice them in the middle of the crowd. Jack was extremely excited to try the foods. He never saw any of those dishes. Loki was saying,
"I don't have much money left. Please stop sending."
But, Jack was in his own business. He pretended that he never heard Loki. After finishing their dinner, they went to Ryokan.
[Note: A ryokan is a type of traditional Japanese inn that typically feature tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, and other public areas where visitors may wear yukata and talk with the owner.]
In there, They changed clothes and went to the bath. The bath section features a swimming pool type bathtub. There every man took bath. Of course, there are both man and woman sections separate. Loki looked at jack's bare body. It was full of scars. Loki was curious to know what happened to Jack in his world that made those scars on him. Jack noticed Loki looking at his scars. So, he tried to explain it to him.
"Oh--h, I see, you are interested in man?" ridiculed Jack.
"O-of course NOT, I'm especially interested in women. said Loki with confidence.
" I know, I'm joking. The scars are twenty years old. They know how much struggle I got. Every time I see the scar's I remembered those horrible things...The bloody wars...The duty of knight...."
Jack mumbled...
Jack has a muscular body. It looked like he was going through heavy training. On the other hand, Loki's skinny body can't any use in a real fight. If the dragon from the last Boss battle slammed him, He might not be alive. It can't be ignored that he has Talent.
They went into their rooms.
"Look, Loki the water in the pot is green color. There's also some kind of snacks."
" That's tea in the port. Those snacks are given to the customers."
Without finishing Loki's sentence Jack Gurgled the foods that present there.
Loki became annoyed "At least hear my word."
Throughout the night, Loki kept thinking of one thing, It was about that game.
"It doesn't mention the prizes. What could be prizes?.. World Domination...
No, that's children's fantasy. Maybe a gorgeous woman who is the princesses of another world.... that's adults fantasy..."
The thoughts were running wildly in his mind... The Night was the first day of the winter season. The weather was faintly cold.
The night passed by...
"Wake up! Jack! it's time to go home...Why do I have to wake you up every day? Aheh!
Why? Dad will be coming today!"
Jack last came out of his bed itching his belly.
"owhhh-h, Why so early? We even had our breakfast," questioned Jack.
"I will make some at home. Didn't I already tell you? My Dad is coming back. Look, Dad messaged me."
Loki showed Jack his phone screen.
>Dad<
>Hey! Son! I'm coming home today. Be sure to make lunch for me. I am bringing a beautiful friend for you. Don't fall in love with her. bye, See You Then.<
---End---
"As you can see, he loves to joke around. He might be coming early then," said Loki sincerely.
"Oh, man! I just killed a Boss yesterday. I wanted a week rest...Now..this pain in the ass.."
They rushed to the station, took the train, and finally arrived home. It took approximately one and a half hours. Usually, it would take about two and a half hours. But that day the train was not crowded. It was not business days. So, they reached home early.
"F-Finally! we successfully completed the mission. Mission Reached Home." said Loki with a little joyfulness."
"But I still don't understand why you're father came suddenly?"
"Sometimes he came home to see me. Most of the time, he spent his time overseas. That's as far as I know. Let's go in.
But when they opened the door...The pages of his life have been turned. The unknown world Loki yet to be known.
