Jack wakes up bolting upon feeling something touching him he pulls it close to him his eyes snap open as a yelp is heard he sees lizzy their faces were close lizzy blushes and springs up lizzy bids him good morning as Jack also blushes both faces red As the group readies camp to leave the both eat their breakfast in an awkward silence
"any plans guys"ash asks with a certain weary tone "i'm umm... going to the church to get ...yea to get some holy water for bulk's wounds"lizzy says still flustered from her encounter with jack
"i'll head to the beast guild to check out the new beast entries" Zen chimes in with excitement in his voice"then i'll be in be in the guildhall to deposit the loot"bulk bellowed
After that the group heads to the town as they walked they approached after a few hours the gate there were a few carts going in and out as a pink haired man stood guard at the entrance as they passed through the gate the guard greeted them in friendly manor just as the walk through the gate a flood of aromas hit Jack all at once jack is amazed by the smells and and the amount of people freely trading and talking.Jack looked at stand as his stomach rumbled
we'll get food after we get you some threads ash chimed
the group split up and Ash and jack head to the tailors as they walk through the streets a sign with a picture of a shirt with a needle on the side with both attached with a winding string as enter they see a woman dressed in an orange and red with an intricate pattern adorned with jewelry around her neck that glittered with precious gems as her her hair had an intricate design as she fanned herself with a fan that had a vine pattern as a boy with bowl cut his hair was a pale orange he wore a shirt with orange pattern on it with brown pants as a girl with and blue hair fox ears in ragged clothes that were held by stitches that held different patches from different clothes as clothes lay on the ground as man with a white shirt with deep dark blue color was behind a counter moving to help the child
"worthless child"the woman pipes
"s...sorry miss"the the girl says as she picks up the clothes tripping and falling on the wooden floor
"can't you do any thing right"
the girl starts to get up as tears stream down her face which is covered with scratches as the woman looks at the boy
"oh Jason could you show the girl what happens when you fail a simple task"
"but it will hurt her mother and she's still hurt from your beating yesterday"
"Jason do what mommy says or..."
the boy's eyes widen as they narrow he looks away the boy as he lifts a whistle like object to his mouth
"...p..please don't..i...i'll do good"
the boy hesitates before the woman snatches the object from him as the boy reaches for it but its all in vain as the woman blows the through the mouth piece emitting a high pitch noise causing the girl to recoil back screaming as she grabs her fox ears rolling on the floor as Jack falls down his eyes flashing silver
"hey Jack you ok whats going on"ash asks as her companion he covers his ears as he bears his teeth his canines were sharp he gritted his teeth just as blood came out his ears and the fox girl's human ears as the fur in her animal ears turn a bright red color then darkened.The woman looked at Jack then turns to the girl then stops
"now look what you made me do you lousy waste of space"the woman utters as the girl lies on the ground in a fetal position before the lady continues to blow the object as the girl continues to scream as she recoils while covering her ears before the woman gets slammed into the wall by jack his eyes were silver as he firmly grabbed her neck squeezing it as she dropped the object as veins appear on her skin as she grabs Jack's hand
"do you have any idea who i am" the woman asked in between gasps of air
his eyes focus on her as his grip increases saliva drips down her mouth in between coughs as her hands slowly let go as Jack increases the pressure
"Jack snap out of it"silva screams in his head "get a hold of yourself MW67" jack's eyes flash back and forth between silver and hazel colors before changing back to hazel
he throws her to the ground then crushes the object as he looks at the girl then at the boy then the woman
"Go before i change my mind"he looks at the woman
she looks up and grabs the clothes and the boy and runs out as the girl remains on the floor the man helps the girl with her bleeding
"that should help"the man says as he takes of his coat and places over her "i'll move her to my room later anyway, hello ash its been long"
"hey troy another ugly one huh?"
"yea the worst of them their gonna run me out of business if this keeps up"
"so i kind of need a favor could hook us up with some threads"
"sure"troy replies as he brings out clothes as he does so he looks around until his eyes land on a white and blue captain's coat
"hey jack come look at this what do you think "ash calls him over as she shows him shirts and pants of different colors and sizes he settles on a black shirt and a pair of brown pants as he is looking at himself in the mirror troy hands him the coat as ash leaves money on the desk
"wait isn't that coat expensive troy i don't-"
"its on me take it as a thank you please it would mean a lot"troy says cutting her of just as lizzy and zen enter
"wow you clean up nice"zen giddily says as a smile appears on his face "doesn't he lizzy?"
"y..yea he does" she shakily says as she slightly blushes as the events of the memory of the morning keep playing in her head as they leave the shop heading for the guild hall
"so why was that woman doing that"jack asked
"well she is a noble woman"
"but why?"
"because demi-humans have mana that is equal to that of a noble man so they oppress them some kill them like cattle while others just torture them"
as they reached the inn they entered and had a meal as they chatted among themselves
"hey these are the sleeping arrange lizzy with me and you guys stay together"ash said as she cracked her neck
"hey ash"bulk calls her as he nods towards the others as
"~~ooooh change of plans lizzy you and bulk will swap"
"oh ok"
they head to their rooms as jack carries zen to their room as lizzy is in tow jack places zen on his bed then turns to look at lizzy
"silva do you is there anything"
"can't see it but its there alright"
