"WHAT?!" the guy standing in front of me had finally noticed me standing beside me, but now I've realized, the height difference between us two was... large, he had too lower his head just so that he can see my rather small figure of mine. For some of you who might now know but I'm actually 155.5 cm in height and I was a bean compared to him.
I had already caught a glimpse of his sunset gradient eyes that would've been able to pierce through a person ever so slightly, and his dark purple hair tinted with orange on some of the ends. My eyes also did find that he was wearing a practical, easy to move in outfit, a white shirt, a short black jacket with sleeves rolled up to expose his somewhat firm arm and with a brown belt, white pants, and a pair of ragged looking boots to dress his below.
"PPFFFTTT-" the dark-purple haired guy in front me tried to dismiss his laugh by placing his right hand on top of his mouth, an imaginary red vein popped on my head as I thought what was going on in this guy's head, I soon paid no attention to kaya who was still behind this guy as all of my anger was slowly building it's way up inside of me.
"WHAT"S SO FUNNY?!" I furiously growled hoping that he at least would take me a bit more seriously.
"Your just....pffftt... so SHORT-" A brief pause lingered between our conversation as he kept his mouth shut with cheeks puffed before I broke the silence between us.
"THAT'S JUST PLAIN RUDE!" Not only did he block my path, but he also insulted me for my height! Such an impolite fellow, and people like him must be punished. Therefore I infuriately kicked him in the shin as I was no longer able to hold my animosity.
"OW! why you-..." He easily grabbed a hold of my cloak ad brought it up from the ground bringing me along with it as the back part of my shirt was brought along with it. I've been in this situation before, there was this one time where I accidentally bumped into someone and he, too, tugged the collar of my shirt and had his fist inches away from my face. Do you know what I'd do in this kind of scenarios? oho, why I-
"Run!"
"Huh...-? Ow hey!" I easily slipped out from my cloak revealing myself wearing a tight turtle neck with no sleeves and a pair of black leggings. Before I got out of the tavern, I decided to piss this guy the second time since I won't be seeing him again, I forcibly squashed both of his toed with the heels of my feet and as soon as possible bolted towards the tavern door, the satisfying screeching pain he was letting out made my ears ring in delight.
"Your going too pay for that!" He followed me through the tavern's door and we were now in a game of chase through the busy streets filled with shop vendors and passerby's, I never knew time would run out so fast as the colors of the sky had turned night and the moon was now replacing the sun. The only thing that was lighting up the streets were the market's street lamps and hanging lanterns.
Back to where we were, I was slipping through like an eel while the guy behind me had a hard time going through as he kept saying "excuse me" and "coming through", ha! Whose laughing now ya rude grape! But then, my escapee self also met my worst nightmare, a dead end! I just happened to take an alleyway as I couldn't go further into the streets as that would be entering the forbidden area.
"Ha, caught ya know ya sly rat" His voice sounded dry and I could tell that he was sweating from my position from his hair sticking all over the place.
"Oi! Who you calling right grape boy!" We have now given each other nicknames, ridiculous ones.
"Grape boy?!"
"Or do you want a different nickname that is, ya lazy brick wall!"
"I've had enough of your games!" Something unexpected happen, he had suddenly jumped forwards and was now right in front of me, the speed he had just shown me was insanely fast! Just what is with this guy?! But I couldn't get caught no matter what, I still had dreams and places that I needed to go too. Luckily the alley's walls were tight and close to each other giving me a possibility for me too escape.
"Yipe!" With the best of my agility and climbing skills, I rapidly started to jump between the walls, from left to right, left to right, the stomping of my shoes were unheard as my body and feet felt light, I kept on doing so until I had reached the top of the building. It was a success! Although it was really challenging, I've actually did it.
I shot the guy chasing after me a face with my tongue sticking out to mock him.
"Catch me if you can grape brick!"
"No way-..." No way indeed, it must be hard for a guy with his size to do the same thing I did previously. He would've just slide off the wall and made a big thud, thinking about it amuses me.
I hurried away from the scene and was speedily hopping from one rooftop to another, thinking that if i got back now, I can still ask that kaya guy to bring me along with his adventures... but after what I had just displayed in the tavern, he would most likely reject letting me onto his team.
What will rozu do now once she had insulted someone and had escaped from it? Will she be her chaser's target? Will she also be able to get herself a traveling partner just like what she promised to her grandma?
