Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 20: THE DRAGONS BLOOD

THE NEXT DAY

"I say, let's enjoy today, we have been working too hard latterly," Levi suggested. 

"Hearing that from you feels unbelievable," Mello replied. 

"Levi! Levi!" Elmer said.          

"What happened, why are you shouting first thing in the morning?" Levi asked.     

"Levi! The princess wants to meet the girl in the maid costume!" he replied. 

"What-the-hell? Why does every problem come in my way? What have I done wrong?" Levi shouted in frustration.                                                 

"So, what are you going to do?" Daisy asked. 

"I'm not wearing that maid costume, I will tell the princess the truth," Levi made up his mind. 

"What if she gives you punishment?" Elmer reminded. 

"I can't bear the embarrassment of wearing that maid costume again," Levi replied. "From the day I came here, I'm only suffering."  

"She has told to present you by afternoon, let's go before she sends her soldiers," Elmer said. 

"Don't worry, we are with you," Hina assured Levi.

IN THE CASTLE  

"Where is that beautiful girl, Elmer?" the princess asked. 

She looks kind, I just have to be calm and tell her the truth, if everything goes right, she might even forgive me. 

"Your highness, the girl in that maid costume is none other than me," Levi announced. 

Everyone in the palace turned towards him in disbelief. 

This is so embarrassing. 

The princess started laughing. "Don't worry, I know about that," she said. "I have heard a lot about you, so, I came to pay a visit, but unfortunately you were wearing a maid costume."

This is even more embarrassing.   

"And you have some beautiful girls in your team," the princess said. The three of them looked at her and introduced themselves.   

The princess looked at Levi and winked. 

I can sense great trouble ahead. 

"For now you all can return, I will call sometime later," the princess said. 

*

The five of them came outside and let out a sigh of relief. 

"It's nothing serious… I guess," Elmer said.            

"Let's go, we have a whole day before us," Mello said. 

As usual, they went to the adventurers' guild to take up a new mission.

"I was planning to enjoy today," Levi said.    

While the girls were busy searching for a quest Levi was again busy flirting with the receptionist.                                                                                                                

"This guy is crazy!" Daisy shouted. 

"This guy is dreamy," the receptionist said. 

As there were no easy quests they again came outside.   

"I say let's enjoy today," Levi suggested. 

"By enjoy what are you trying to say?" Hina asked. 

"Anything, which doesn't require to question our existence," Levi replied. 

Just then someone hit Levi from behind and he fainted. 

*

IT'S NOT NEW 

When he opened his eyes the four of them were sitting on chairs while tied with ropes. 

"Oh, great, we were planning to enjoy today and we get in this mess," Levi said frustrated. 

"Welcome, welcome, I think you all are awake," a mysterious man said whose face was covered with a mask. 

"Welcome? First, you kidnap us and then say welcome as if we wanted to come here," Levi replied.

"Ok, you are short-tempered, that's bad you know, young people want things to happen, it's impossible!" 

"Why are you giving us a speech?" Levi asked. 

"Ahhh! Will you shut up your mouth and let me talk? I will leave you in one condition," the stranger said. 

"And what is it?" Mello asked. 

"I have a quest for you people. Get me the blood of dragons," the stranger replied. 

"Ahem! Sir, if you have any quests to be done, then first you are supposed to apply them in the adventurers' guild, till then no! rejected!" Levi explained.  

"I must admit it, you are brave to talk back to me, one of the strongest leaders of the demon lord," he started laughing maniacally.  

"He is the most powerful monster the world has ever known, after he was defeated he was never found again but I guess he is making a comeback," Hina said.  

There was a moment of silence. 

"Who the hell is demon lord, it's not like I care… whatever, it doesn't matter who the hell you are, get to the adventurers' guild and apply for a quest there," Levi explained again. 

"Can I know who is the leader?" 

"You are talking to the leader… knucklehead," Levi replied. 

"I will pay you double than the normal amount."  

"Double the amount?" Levi asked opening his eyes wide. 

"Yes kid, double the amount," said the stranger placing a sack of gold coins before him. 

"Ahem! I guess illegal business can be forgiven once," Levi said clearing his throat. 

"Yes, yes, it's not at all a problem." 

"Levi, he is a bad person, we can't do what he wants, he is a monster trying to take on the world," Daisy stopped him. 

Levi turned towards the stranger. "If you are strong then why don't you go and get it?" Levi asked. 

"There's no time for question and answer session, either you do it for me or I have other people waiting in the line," the stranger said.

"Sure, sure, I get it. pay me 50 per cent now and the rest after the job is complete," Levi replied. 

"Deal," both of them said in unison and shook hands. 

"I hope this partnership helps us both," the stranger said.     

"Sure, it has to," both of them smiled at each other with different intentions.    

NARRATOR: What is Levi planning to do? Has he lost his mind at last? We have to wait and watch to know the future. 

"Let's do this and get those gold coins!"
