The eyes of the soldiers never came off Theo and Rose as they walked past the jealous soldiers who were watching the two with envy ...
"Since I don't know our last stop for today .. how about we eat something .. although I'm not hungry .. I'm craving for some of that minotaur meat ..." he said rubbing his hands back and forward with a grin ..
"Hmm .. okay .. and I heard from commander Britt that it's meat is so delicious that it even makes the high ranking officials to come by the minotaur Lair to take a few minotaur's to cook at home ... not only that .. but heals internal injuries ..." she followed behind the guy infront of him who was rubbing his hands .. as he approached the woman behind the glass ...
"Man I can feel it's magnificent scent from here ... " a drool came out of his mouth before wiping it away to restrain himself ...
"Next .." the woman said gently with a serious and no smiley expression ... before putting roasted beef on a medium sized plate ...
it hovered in the air a couple of inches away from the table as it headed into Theo's direction ...
"Ah ..." he hummed as the smell got stronger and stronger as he grabbed the plate before gobbling the first meat piece ...
after figuring it's deliciousness he gobbled the whole plate down .. before pattng his stomach .. .. he never even burped like normal people ...
"Why do you eat so slow captain Rose .. don't you know it's rude to eat that slow .. it shows that you don't appreciate every piece of the meal you've been given ... *sigh* ... this is one rule a person can't break ..." he sat up straight as his belly wiggled with every movement he made with his arms ...
"Eh ..?? what do you mean ... I always eat like this ... I'm not an animal .. I don't just gobble down food ... I have manners ..." a gasp escaped from his mouth as he covered it with the back of his hand ...
"So you mean ... those who appreciate food are animals ... that's not rude ... you have guts .. to go against one of the disciples of the man who was the most awesome cook .. in the entire universe ..." he blinked a couple times with Rose staring at him as if like she was looking at an annoying child ...
"Sorry I didn't mean that you're an animal but a person must have mannerism ... if you went to the Dutch's military base and eat like that they might behead you ... it's considered a bad manner to gobble down your food like that ... at least enjoy it's meat slowly .. instead of eating everything like a food monster ..." she giggled covering her mouth with her hand ...
"Hmph ... " he snorted sarcastically pouting ...
"All done we can go now ..." she said wiping her mouth with a napkin ... when Theo saw this all what came into his head was .. 'How rude ...!!' but alas he was never going to win a debate against her ... the mannerism in this world and his were totally different even if there were some people who'd enjoy savouring their meal slowly .. there were some who loved to eat in their own style .. the gobbling style ...
"Okay let's go ... I've digested all that meat anyways ... " they left the canteen as they headed towards the automatic metallic door on their right ..
"Sure now what ... we've eaten ... already ... got something on your mind ..??" she asked ...
Theo on the other side had his eyes closed with his hands at the back of his head .. enjoying their walk ...
after a few moments of silence .. he opened his eyes ... and looked at captain Rose .. "What do you do for fun .. captain Rose ..??" when she heard the question she quickly turned her gaze away from him ... lowering her head down ...
"Well .. fighting is not my best suit ..."
"But you become furious sometimes without a reasonable reason ..." and with the last sentence he saw captain Rose looking at him with narrowed eyes ... sending shivers down his spine ..
"You're the most gracious person I've ever met captain Rose ... *gulp* ... you're my holy idol ..." sweat beads appeared on his forehead ... whilst the gulping never stopped ..
"*Sigh* ... well although fighting is not my best suit .. I really like going outside the military to visit some villages ... and pick up missions that don't involve violence ... " she raised her head and looked at him ... with a small smile ..
"How about it then Head Soldier Theo .. want to pick up Soldier Rank quests ... they're fun actually ... maybe you might not like it now but I assure you .. it's really fun ... harmony is just another type of violence ..." she giggled nervously as Theo narrowed his eyes at her with his mouth slightly open revealing the teeth inside ...
'She's asking me out right ..?' and then it began his crazy consciousness chat ... inside his giant nut ... 'Yea of course she's asking you out .. !!! go for it buddy ...!!'
'Quite down everyone ... do you think an ugly dude like you can catch a firebird like her ... don't go overboard with your shallow love skills ...!!'
'Shut up other me ...!!'
'I could swear that you're going crazy ... because you're the one speaking and you're speaking to yourself inside your head .. you're a lunatic .. and to be honest .. you're the one speaking for me .. I think .. uhg you know what .. you're crazy ..'
'Now that you mention it I am crazy don't you think ..... how crazy can I be in the future ..?? ..'
'Tell me who is the original one amongst us ...??'
'I don't know ... maybe it's me ..'
'No you butt head ... it's me ...'
'Shut up you numbskulls we're all the original one .. okay ... now where were we ..??'
'Ah ... we were talking about that attractive one over there ...'
'Ah right ... so what do we do ..??' ...
"Theo hello ..." of course he was lost in his own thoughts .. and world .. in his space of craziness ....
"World to Theo ..." he then snapped from his daze ... as he smiled ..
"I would love to go on a date with you .. uh wait .. I would love to take the quests with you ... you're the most powerful person I've ever seen captain Rose ..."
Rose looked at him with a twitching eye ... of course she heard the first sentence .. and now he was trying to cover it up with how she was powerful .. and that again was a big lie .. commander Britt was stronger than her ... and then there was the lieutenant .. and the head general ...
"*Sigh* let's just go ..." he stood in his spot for a few seconds before slapping his forehead ... running to her side ...
the two walked around the military base before appearing infront of the desk where ... Samantha was laying her head playing with a pen in her hand ...
"What kind of mission do you wish to take on ... ??" she asked still laying her head on the desk unaware of the two presences infront of her ...
"We'd like village quests ... low ranked ones ..." when she heard the familiar voice she sat up quickly and infront of her was Theo and Rose ...
"Oh hey ... did you get more handsome over the weekend ..??" she leaned over the desk causing Theo to stumble back .
"Hehe ..." he rubbed the back of his head nervously ...
"Thanks ..." he said .... whistling and walking to the other side to avoid looking her in the eyes ...
"Low ranked ...?? " she tilted her head to the other side confused ...
"Yes ... we're not going to hunt .. we're just going to help the villages out ... at most can you give us 6 quests ... " Rose said looking at Samantha who was taken aback from what she had just heard ...
"Oh okay ... and Rose if you get tired of him ... give him my dorm number ... I'd like to train him ... personally ...." she winked at Rose giggling evilly ... ...
Rose shook her head in defeat before taking the six holographic quests into her system ...
"Hey Theo .. let's go ..." ...she patted his shoulder .. before leading him inside the large room ...
a large window interface appeared infront of them .. showing six slots ...
'First Mission: Help the villagers in the [Rock Village] to plant enough crops to last for an entire year ... : 5 pecuniary
Second Mission: Help the villagers in the [Ice Village] to build up a defensive fortress to keep away dangerous creatures .. : 10 pecuniary
Third Mission: Help the villagers living inside the snow mountain get enough food for the next [Blizzard Season] .. : 10 pecuniary
Fourth Mission: Form an alliance between the [Holy Arc Village] and the [Forest Guardians] .. : 15 pecuniary
Fifth Mission: Annihilate the [Demonic Creatures] that are going to attack the [Heavenly Angels Village] in a month .. : 28 pecuniary
Sixth Mission: Help the [Viking Village] .. to obtain a special fruit ... : 30 pecuniary
Mission Success: 30 pecuniary'
when Theo saw the sixth Mission he was wondering whether it was confused or stupid ...
"Captain Rose how is finding a fruit worth so much ...?? I think it's stupid .. it's only a fruit ... it's not like we're going to gather house shaped fruits that can enlarge one's home ... hahahaha ...!!" he laughed so hard that he found out that he was the only one laughing and that the sixth Mission was serious and the pecuniary for it was worth it ...
"Theo you see on certain quests ... things like gathering fruits might appear however ... when the pecuniary is high it's simply means that the fruit that's going to be gathered is probably in the most dangerous places .. or it's a man eating fruit .. if that exists .." Theo gulped hearing the man eating fruit monster ...
"Ah ... this world of yours is pretty weird .. back in my world .. low ranked quests .. especially one's for villages .. were simple and consisted of nonviolent actions throughout .. but yours ... man ... man eating fruit monster .. " he sighed .. before stepping in the middle .. holding Rose's hand ...
"Rock Village is our first stop .. since it's the first mission however .. if you're interested in the other missions we can try them out after finishing this first one ... and we will have to annihilate the Demonic Creatures in a month .. so we musn't take too long .." after she said that .. a blue light glowed beneath their feet before enveloping them with a warm brownish energy as their surroundings changed ..
Once they opened their eyes they heaved sighs .. before looking into the distance ...
A huge boulder 3 miles away from them could be seen clearly .. with Rock Village embedded on it ..
and on top of the boulder was a large fist and beside the fist was a palm .. exactly like the one Theo had stroke Rose's strike with ... and on top of the two hands .. was a large brownish energy looking like a brown portal ..
"Yeah seems like we're in this Rock Village we're supposed to be in .." Theo said patting himself feeling the powerful energy enveloping his muscles and fists ...
of course captain Rose couldn't feel the energy because of she didn't have any element related to the brownish energy ...
"So we're supposed to plant crops right ...?? how about we just pluck out these trees and other plants and plant them in their village .. it's that easy .." Theo said pointing at the pushy greenery on their sides ...
"Hehe ... you know sometimes you just have to use your brains for once .. the seeds and crops are inside the village .. so we will just have to use the ones provided by village head instead of plucking these trees and plants .." she giggled before walking infront of the steel rock doors ..
"Don't they use technology or do you just keep it for yourselves ..??" Theo asked touching the steel door with his fingers .. and he couldn't find any technological effect on the doors .. except for the carvings and weird lines ...
"Sometimes I wonder what's happening inside your head ... the brownish energy is the key to the door .. and we're not keeping the technology for ourselves .. this steel door is one of the strongest entrances you have ever seen in your life .. and trust me .. even with that ginormous minotaur's brute strength it wouldn't even land a scratch on this door ..." she sighed ... before continuing .
"The people inside aren't violent ... and I know you're not going to believe me .. after seeing the people inside so please don't freak out ... and in all honesty the villagers are weak ... they only rely on their chief ... he's the strongest in this side of region ..
let's just inform the generals guarding the doors that we're here ..."
Theo tilted his to the side before focusing his attention at the doors ..
when captain Rose saw the confused Theo she sighed before placing her hand on the door ...
and inside the village the door on their side glowed bright brown ...
a few seconds after removing her hand from the doors .. they opened widely ... with the lines and carvings glowing bright brown as well ..
"Oh ..." when the doors stopped opening .. Theo saw three men 2 inches taller than him wearing steel armour covered with the same carvings on their doors ...
and what was most eye catching about them was that all of them had giant muscles ... each one carrying their special weapon ...
they didn't even dare to look at him or Rose as the one standing infront of the gate inside the village swung his spear pointing it at a large steel hut ...
'Oh .. ... how about that ..' he thought as his eyes wandered scanning the village ...
'Even small boys have muscles ... what do they eat ..?? rocks ... hahaha ...!!' he laughed internally ...
"I already informed them through the door what our intentions were inside their village so .. let's go to the large steel hut shall we ..." she smiled nudging Theo on the shoulder snapping him out his daze ...
"A - Alright ..." he stuttered looking around with the women staring at him weirdly ...
and unlike the males the females were slim and had nice body figures ... and curves .. even the little ones ... and of course he had to admit .. they were all beautiful especially the older females ...
"Why are the females different from the males captain Rose ..??" she then looked in his direction before waving her hand in the air ...
"The females learn martial arts and the chief can't help but keep their bodies slim ... at least that's what I've been told ... and the other reason is that back in the past their chief was a female and she liked her females in the village slim and captivating .. for other males from other regions to take a liking into them to form an alliance or at least try making an offspring with both powerful elements ... of course .. their element isn't earth ... I don't know what kind of power they have in the first place and it's most likely related to that energy you have inside of you ...
and from my view it's based on strength and brawn ... so what I'm trying to say is that the females can't have the full power of this energy because their feminine bodies can't hold its intensive power ... that's why the females are so slim and so captivating I think ..." after her explaination Theo nodded his head seemingly not interested in what she was saying ...
"Hurry up visitors .. I've heard of you informing our guards how you were going to help us with our food shortage ..." a loud booming voice resounded inside the village ... coming from inside the hut ...
