"Here is one meat soup with bread and potatoes plus a cup of water."
After I said I wanted to eat. The guy behind the counter went to a small window on the wall behind him and said something. Then five minutes later, a tall and curvy woman came from behind me and placed a huge bowl of soup with a plate containing three loaves of bread and a huge mug of water.
"That will be 20 wellis." Ah, shoot. I forgot to take some money out before coming here. I bring the bag I received during the day and take some coins inside. The girl's heartbeat accelerates a little when I do.
"Here." I give her one coin where it is written fifty. That should be enough, right?
"Thank you very much!" She goes with a smile. When I read her mind, she is happy because she got a thirty wellis tip. Thirty wellis? Ah, that coin was fifty wellis then? I did think that fifty should mean something. Oh well, no use thinking about it too much.
I send the bag inside my bracelet and start eating. The soup is good. Not as good as Selene's soup or gragora grilled meat, but it is good. While I eat, I read the minds of the people sitting at the counter like me and the bartender. Nothing important to hear. Or maybe there is:
'I wonder how those guys are doing. They went since yesterday, and there are still not back.' The bartender is thinking about the guys who went to kill me, interesting.
'All they had to do was to capture him, why does it take so long for forty guys to do that. Tch! Trash will always be trash.' So, the assassins were supposed to capture me first? Well, they didn't look like that was their intention. After that, the bartender didn't think of anything important, or maybe he noticed that I am glaring at him. I need to focus on the lines of a person, so it must look like I am looking at them.
I stand up and get out of the tavern. After walking for ten minutes, I hear three heartbeats behind me. Am I followed? I accelerate the pace of my walking, but I can still hear them. Okay, for sure, they are following me. I run to a dark alley and then jump on a roof.
"Where is he? I don't see him."
"He must be hiding somewhere, let's look there."
There are three guys following me, indeed. What do they want?
"You saw that bag of coins he had. It must be at least a good 50000 wellis. We gonna be rich!"
"Let's find him first. He can't be far."
"I think we should beat him up and sell him as a slave. He didn't look really tough."
"Yeah, good idea. I have never seen him in town. So, nobody will miss him."
While they are looking for me, I hear all their plans and reasons.
"Humans seems to be quite greedy."
"Cissa? So, you can talk to me like this after all. I thought last time was a coincidence."
"We are one soul. This much shouldn't surprise you."
"Well, it is still weird to hear somebody talk in your head."
"You will get used to it." I don't think so. Anyway, let's get down and take care of those- I see something on one of those guys' left arm. That symbol, the Kalor's family. This is becoming very interesting.
I fall on one of them and smack his head on the ground with my foot. The other two immediately turns because of the noise.
"Oh shit! Geraud!" they run towards me and try to punch. I hold both of their hands and crush them.
"Gyaa!!" While they are screaming, I kick the second guy to a wall. Only the kalor guy is left.
"Who the fuck are you?!!" while I walk to him, he starts crying and shouting. I take out my dagger and place it on his throat.
"Shut up. You and I are going to discuss a lot tonight. Don't worry." I punch him, and he faints.
***
Carrying his body, I jump from roof to roof and get out of the city. Then I go to the forest and install my guest. Tying him up to a tree as they did to Excafol and Selene. Then I slap him.
"Wake up."
"Argh! Who the fuck?! Where are we?" I punch his face hard. "Ugh!! What is your fuck-"
"You only speak when I say so."
"Fuck you and your ugly ass!" Wrong answer. I stab his stomach, then his left arm, and finally his thigh.
"Gyaa!!"
"Shutttt... What did I say? You only talk…"
"Ah…Ah… Ah… W-w-when you say so."
