Chapter 36 - Punishement?

I came into the meeting room with Arsya again. Jade and Rudy are still in here the two of them are still waiting for me.

"Have you finished already?"

When I got into the room I've been asked by rudy.

"Yeah, I already got it"

I show the card and the recommendation paper to rudy and jade.

"It's already night and we still want to talk to you. I'm sorry if we have been bothering you, Galen. Did you want to rest already?"

"you don't need to apologize, you know. it's still too soon for me to rest. Besides both, I and jade haven't booked an inn"

Well, of course, we still didn't get inn. We come to the guild first after we come to this city. I still didn't know where to get an inn. And jade since the first time come to this city she wants to come to the guild first.

"you still didn't get an inn?"

Ask Rudy. Rudy and Arsya then looked at each other. They're like want to tell something to each other, but there's no conversation between them.

"Then did you want to come to our place?"

Arsya then asked me.

"your place?"

"yes. Our house is quite big here. we still have some spare room. You don't need to worry about food and expense."

Worry? Why did I even worry about my expense? The village already gave me so much money. I even have money from the remaining corpse of the monster that jade and I kill.

"Well, I didn't worry about my expense though… the elder already gives me plenty of money. I even didn't know how to spend this money…"

I already have a weapon and armor from the three guardians inside me. The village even still provide me with a weapon in my bag. And for food, we can hunt some monsters in the wild. I rarely buy clothes, the elder already prepared them in my bag. My daily need is already fulfilled. I don't need to use the money besides stay in the inn, but even if I stay in the inn it will still need a time more than 10 years so that my money will run out. And before I run out of the money I can clear the task that the guild gives to get the reward, I can sell the remaining monster corpse that I kill. in the end I really don't know how to spend this money.

"If you okay with having me in your house, then I will gladly accept it."

There's no reason for me to refuse it, and besides… I want to know rudy and Arsya more close. They're like people of the same age as me, that's why I want to know them more.

"then we will arrange it. Oh, by the way, Jade"

"what big sist?"

"you still remember our place in here right?"

"of course I still remember why did you ask?"

"No, I just want to confirm something"

Arsya then made a relief face. Jade looks confusedly. I know why Arsya wants to confirm it, I really understand you Arsya, yes I really understand it.

The four of us prepared to go home. we got out from the guild one by one. I don't want people to see me walked together with the guild master and his secretary. Rudy and Arsya the ones who come out first they will be waiting for us in their house. I and jade accept the hospitality both of them offer. As their master, it will be rude to them if I refuse it. Not long after we got out the second wall we already near to Rudy and Arsya's house, Jade said. Their house place is in the first layer of the wall. To be exact, the place is near the second wall. Their house is located in a housing district there are not many people around here. Well, it's because people around here already go home and relax in their own house that's why there are not many people in here. Just like what Arsya said their place is quite big, I can see it from the outside.

"Is this their place?"

I asked jade.

"Yep, this one"

"Let me confirm it. you didn't forget their house, right?"

"of course, let's go. come in."

Jade casually invite me to go in to Rudy's house. I have a doubt that she forgets where the house, but I chose to believe her, It's the repayment after I underestimate her earlier.

Jade opens the gate she hurriedly knocks on the door before she can do it the door is suddenly open Arsya and Rudy already waiting for me. they greet me.

"I feel bad that the owner of the house is greeted and waiting for me like that…"

I said to the two of them.

"it's okay. Once in a while let us do it, haha"

Well if they are don't mind about it, I will not complain.

The two of them already prepared the room for me to rest. Jade has a room beside my room. She placed it near me because she asks it, she said "I'm master len bodyguard, so let me have a room near him" this girl… she didn't need to always protect me, you know. If she always follows me like this I will feel suffocated and uncomfortable, I need some space… I will tell her later, that she didn't always to follow me.

I can smell roasted meat from the kitchen when I got into the room, It looks like our dinner was already prepared when we in our way to their house, I already get hungry too. I will wait for them to notify me. Right after I thought about the dinner, my door room has been knocked. It was rudy, he notifies me. after that we eat dinner together the five of us with Rudy's daughter, her name is June, June vega. She's so cute, but I will never say it loudly in front of their parent, I bet If I said it they will boast it to others, so I never said it. The two of them are the type of person who spoils their child to rotten. Their daughter is still 3 years old, but she has the appearance same as their parent, she has blonde hair like Arsya, and her eyes are the same as Rudy. When we have dinner, June is always with jade. June maybe like jade since this is the first time she sees jade, that was what her parent told me. When we have dinner, we didn't have any conversation. We still have a table manner.

After I finish dinner I have a talk with Rudy on the balcony. we didn't talk about anything that important we just talked about our daily life. I talked to Rudy about my past life before I got time skip 5000 years ago. It looks like he is really interested in my story.

"ahaha, is that so? To think master Andrian is someone like that."

he refers to Andrian as his master since he is the founder of this village. I told him the story about Andrian. To the village, Andrian is someone that they admire. They always praise him so high. Even all of the villagers respect his name. And for some reason, it really pissed me off since I know his true nature.

"yes, he is. He always makes trouble for me. Not only that, because of his stupidity, I always have a hard time with teacher Wessel."

Right now, I tried to break his image.

"Rein is the same as Andrian, they always make trouble if the two of them together. Even if they always had been troublesome for me, there's always Evie, who always helps me clean out the mess of the two of them. Evie is reliable, the four of us always together when we live in the dorm. Teacher Wessel somehow always paired the four of us. I don't know why��� but I know why teacher Wessel paired me with Andrian."

Rudy listening to all of my grumbles, listen to me while laughing and smiling,

"it's because he stole that chicken, and he blames me. To make us didn't antagonize each other, teacher Wessel makes Andrian become my roommate. Can you believe it? He stole the chicken and he blames me, although I know that I'm the one who borrowing him my bag. Isn't too cruel? I really hate him…."

Every day since I was living in the dorm he always troubled me I can't forget all that he has done to me, same like rein too, the two of them is really exhausting for me.

"are you really hate them, Galen? Ahaha"

Rudy laughing while he asks me.

"yes, I really hate him. All of my headaches come from them. Hmmm, maybe… not only from him… Teacher Wessel too is a pain in the ass… he always gives us prank you know? Once he gives us a prank in the middle of the forest and he even makes us free labor on the village for over 3 months without any help from him, can you believe it?"

Ahh, the memory of the three of them come to me again… I remembered my days at the dorm. It was very beautiful to me, the life full of smile, full of laugh… something that I never imagined that I will enjoy my life like that. I still wonder even for now how can I live like that after I have my "dark past like that" did the gods really allow me to live like that?

"I will say it again Teacher Wessel, Andrian, and Rein is a pain in the ass. They always make trouble for me and Evie. I wonder why the three of them always make trouble for me? did they hate me or what?"

No maybe the gods really didn't allow me to have a beautiful life like that…

"But even though they're a pain in the ass and I really hate them, yet… all of them are my precious family. The four of them is the only one that I proudly can say that they're my family, friend, best friend… the four of them was the one who makes me think that I still have a hope in this world..."

Yes, I believe God isn't so kind to me…

"Did you know Rudy? The place we call vega village right now before the village, that place is the dorm for the useless people you know. the people who didn't have the future, all of them can't even live in society. Even so, all of us can live happily in that place, not only the four of us, but all the people that were saved by Teacher Wessel can live happily in that place. And now that place becomes a village and even that place became my sanctuary… they didn't let me alone after this 5000 years. They still try to save me. they give the instruction to the village to wait for me…"

Because if God is really kind to me and lets me have a life like that... Then why did the gods sent me to the world after 5000 years? If the gods are really kind, I'm sure he/she will let me have an enjoyable life at the dorm like I want...

Rudy can only hear all of the feelings that I've been keeping in my heart. He really looks sad same as me. He can't say any word, he can only hear all of it.

"Despite having me time skip to 5000 years they still believe in me. They put their hope on me. they gave me the letter… it is said that I must not lost all hope no matter what. Isn't that too cruel? Having all the important things in your life disappear for only 3 hours you close your eyes? and they said that I must not lost all the hope... Isn't that too cruel… I… really miss them"

That night with Rudy I pour all of the things that I want to say in my heart to him. He can only hear what I said with a sad face, he can't understand my feeling but he only can hear it to lighten the burden on my heart, I don't know why I tell about it to Rudy, is just that I consider him as someone who is same like teacher Wessel. My eyes got teary a bit remembering the time I have when I'm at the dorm. The moon that night is a full moon, the moonlight shining brightly on the balcony. That night is remembering me when I first time coming to the dorm. I can see my teary eyes in the reflection of the glass…

This is the punishment from god to me. Someone who have killed their own parent can't have a beautiful life like in the dorm. yes, this is the punishment that I deserve…
