"Ah, welcome, Sir," the shopkeeper greeted kindly.
Eden tightened the mask he was wearing to cover his entire head. Yes, like the masks that robbers usually wear.
Eden nodded briefly, then looked at the boxes of hair dye that lined the window.
"I want to buy hair dye," Eden said in her voice slightly disguised as if she was a fugitive.
What do you want to buy at the hair dye shop, Eden? Fried chicken? Or even grilled carp?
The shopkeeper smiled. "What color would you like, Sir?"
Eden was confused when he was faced with that question. "What colors are there?" Eden asked back.
"There are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple and all colors," said the shopkeeper as he showed a paper sample of thousands of colors. I also wonder, is this a hair dye shop or wall paint, huh??
Eden was silent for a moment. His mind wandered. If he chose black, he would be mistaken for an evil wizard. If you choose a color other than black, he is also confused about what color to choose.
After thinking for hours, Eden finally decided, "Okay, just red, Sir."
"Then, what brand of hair dye did you choose, sir?" asked the hair dye shopkeeper.
"Hmmmmmm."
Eden again sinks into doubt.
Suddenly, someone else came and kicked the window where the paper containing the color choices was located. Eden turned his head, and his eyes widened in disbelief to find that it was Ethan Zanguard who was standing beside him.
The figure of a man who has a beautiful face with colorful hair is one of the magicians who come from the white group. Eden's enemy first.
They often fought in the Fotia Forest.
How did this meeting happen? Did Ethan follow him on purpose and learn of his intention to go undercover? Eden thought anxiously.
Ethan tossed his hair. "Sir, I want the usual Turtle brand hair dye, right? Black and white, showing yin and yang," said Ethan, turning to Edeng indifferently.
Eden was stunned to hear that. Looks like I'll be buying black and white too. Eden's mind spoke.
After Ethan left with a plastic hair dye he bought, Eden immediately replied, "Sir, I also want black and white hair dye!"
"Well, sorry, sir. That was the last stock of our hair dye. You thought too long, sir." The shopkeeper spoke.
"Eh? If you don't sell hair dye anymore, what else does this shop sell, sir?" Eden grumbled, annoyed.
The shopkeeper tugged at the corners of his lips. He unfurled the banner that had previously been neatly rolled up behind him.
"Actually this is a cat shop. Cat means cat, right? Come on please! What kind of cat do you want??"
The shopkeeper began to promote.
Eden let out a shaky breath. This first day in Aragon City alone seemed to have annoyed him to death. This can't be left. He had to snatch the hair dye from Ethan's hands.
***
Eden went to the direction that Ethan had just a moment ago. It was not difficult to find a man with a beautiful face with black hair on the left and white on the right.
With incomparable valor, Eden shouted loudly.
"Hey, you!"
Ethan stopped walking and turned around. "Yes, What is up?" he asked still wearing an unconcerned expression.
"Hand over the hair dye you brought or I'll cut the hair off your head!" Eden shouted back with a threat.
Ethan was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. "You don't know who I am, do you? How dare you threaten me," he said fiercely.
Eden smiled behind his mask. "You're the one who doesn't know who I am!"
After that, the mask that covered his head and part of his face was removed.
"I am the most handsome man in my village," said Eden, combing his hair with his fingers.
Ethan smirked. He saw a flash of black aura enveloping Eden's body.
"Hohoho! How dare black magicians be in this town. Are you tired of your life, Loser?" Ethan smirked again.
"Don't talk too much! Now, let's have a duel!" Eden immediately emitted his black magic aura. "Who loses, must be willing to serve the winner," he said vehemently.
Ethan snorted. "Even bald I will never give up my pride!"
"If you're bald, that hair dye is useless, you idiot!" Eden responded to Ethan's disjointed words.
"It's fine. It's not only my hair that has dyeable feathers, after all."
Ethan said proudly.
Immediately, Eden frowned in disgust.
Before they could duel, a man in a turban stopped them.
"O, you children of humans!! Don't ever do violence. In fact, violence is very hated by God Almighty. We are all brothers and should be blah blah blah...."
A man in a turban had started preaching.
Eden and Ethan exchanged glances. They both winced.
Ignoring the man earlier, Eden grabbed Ethan's wrist.
"Find another place, come on!!"
Ethan let go of Eden's grip roughly.
"Eits, you don't have to hold me! I can walk by myself," Ethan snapped, saying as he brushed his long shiny hair.
Witnessing that, for some reason Eden felt amazed. Made him think that this time he already had another goal, which was...
"I don't need that hair dye anymore. Leave your long hair to me!"
Ethan blinked in disbelief. Then casually let go of the hair stuck to his head, which turned out to be just a wig. "Here, if you want. I still have a lot in my palace."
Turns out Ethan is totally bald, Viewers.
Eden didn't let Ethan go like that. In fact, he had gathered all his inner strength that he had concentrated in the palm of his hand.
Eden's right hand emitted a bright blue light. He directed the light towards Ethan, instantly Ethan's body fell down.
Ethan got up and turned around.
"You're cheating!! How dare you play backwards!!" Ethan snapped.
Ethan didn't stay still. He crouched down and drew a complicated symbol on the ground.
Ethan started to cast a spell while touching the symbol he drew earlier.
Suddenly reddish smoke rose from the ground. Soaring high and blocking their vision.
A few moments after the red smoke had thinned, a creature with golden yellow hair appeared.
His hands cupped, the figure looked down at Ethan.
"Greetings to you, My Lord. I am a satan who will obey all your orders," said the yellow-haired figure earlier.
Ethan smiled. "Satan, I want you to remove all of Eden's hair!"
Eden gasped. "What?!" he screamed in surprise.
The demon nodded obediently. With a flick of a hand, bringing a glimmer of light closer to Eden's head position. Then... puff... Eden's white hair was gone.
Eden and Ethan are both bald now.
Eden growled in anger, at the same time in shock.
"W-what have you done to the hair that is the source of my good looks, huh?" shouted Eden in frustration.
Eden's anger swelled. His dark eyes gleamed sharply. His breath catches. He raised his hand in the air. A flash of light shot out from Eden's fingertips, along with that a sharp, shiny sword appeared.
Zleb!!
