Shu walked in the clothes shop, with Yuyen by his side, but as soon as he did everyone's eyes turned to them, more specifically Yuyen who was of course, naked
"Who the hell is that?"
"Pff, look at the girl, why is she naked?"
"I don't care if she's naked or not, but look at how Skinny and fragile she looks, I honestly feel sad"
"Who cares, we're all commoners anyway, if we help someone else out we'd be left with nothing"
"Yeah, I guess you're right"
Were the gossiping words of two females, of course, this made Yuyen embarrassed making her hide behind Shu, she was slightly taller than him so she had to dock down
"Shu, what the hell are you doing? And who's that girl? God, why is she naked? Is that blood? Shu why is there blood on your hands and why is-"
Jenna damm nearly yelled as she ran towards Shu with bags of clothes on her hands before being shut by Shu's hands
"I found her like this so I came here to ask you to help her find some clothes"
Shu explained as Jenna sighed proceeding to inhale as Yuyen peeked from above Shu's shoulder, looking at Jenna who was rubbing her forehead as if this situation was nothing more than annoying
"This is Jenna, my mother, the one I told you about, she'll help you for sure!"
Shu yelled while giving the girl a thumbs up practically guaranteeing her safety
"R-really?"
The girl asked with a shaky voice as Shu simply grinned nodding quickly as Yuyen then proceeded to look over at Jenna
"Shu, you can't just-"
Jenna was about to give Shu a valid reason as to why she couldn't take in Yuyen, but his gigantic and optimistic grin made her pause, before taking a closer look at the girl, of course, the first thing she noticed was that the girl was injured, but she seemed like she was starving as if she was locked up in a room and kept there for nothing less than months
"Fine, just take her home, you go on first while I get her some well-needed clothes"
Jenna explained making Shu nod with force as he chuckled
"Yes!, come on let's go Yuyen, we'll get there super quick and I'll show you around the house, it isn't too big but it's where my mother and father live, so its a special place, it's warm, there's food and-"
Was all that could to be heard as the two walked out, of course, Jenna couldn't just let him take her outside naked like that, so she gave her some of the clothes she just bought for Shu just so that people wouldn't see her injured body
"Goddammit that boy, now I see what Ayami meant when she said Shu was a handful, I thought he'd be like a super wise strong little boy, but I guess my expectations were too high, though, that smile is definitely persuasive"
She thought before turning around as all the people in the shop stared at her, of course, it was to be expected as what just had happened wasn't at all normal
"Ok, time to get her some clothes, she was about the same size as Shu so I think buying something Shu's size would fit her nicely"
Said Jenna to herself as she began to look for clothes, as that happened, Shu and Yuyen were looking around the kingdom trying to find something fun to do while Jenna bought clothes
"Wow, look at those two"
Said a girl as she pointed at the two, causing the people around her to look at them
"Ooh, that guy has white hair, I've never seen anyone with hair like that"
Said another girl as Yuyen tugged onto Shu's shirt getting closer to him, hearing the people around them gossiping about them, of course, she didn't feel sad, threatened, or upset about it, but the attention was certainly something new for the girl
"His hair is like snow. Hey, do you think he's a noble or something? He looks too precious to be a commoner"
Said yet another girl causing an old lady nearby to simply laugh at the young one's statement
"Yeah, you wish, what would a noble be doing down here in the commoner zone? I swear these youngsters get dumber and dumber every time I see them"
Said the old woman while her husband simply nodded as the girl who suggested the idea simply stared at the old woman and sighed
"Yeah yeah"
The girl replied as Shu simply scratched his cheek, looking around, watching as everyone stared at them, making him sigh as he picked Yuyen off her feet, disappearing in a blur startling everyone in the street
"I was getting a bit annoyed at how much they were talking, crowds are annoying don't you think so Yuyen?"
Shu questioned as he appeared above a house looking down at the people who were gossiping about him just a minute ago, while Yuyen simply nodded, her hands wrapped around his neck as her legs swayed on the air
"Haha, look at them, looking for me as if a child just died, is my hair really that unusual?"
Shu questioned while Yuyen stared at him
"Anyway, so there's this place where we can get ourselves something really good to eat, people won't look at you weird...since-well there's just a geezer working there"
Shu explained with a look of innocence before leaping into the air, jumping onto another house as Yuyen held onto his neck a bit scared hiding her face against his chest making Shu smile as he landed on top of a pole
"Jenna told me about this place a few hours ago, right after we signed me up for the academy, I only have money for four meals, so I'll buy you three and one for me"
Shu said causing Yuyen to open her eyes; the thought of having to eat something, anything, was enough to make her shed a tear which concerned Shu a bit
"Hey I wasn't moving too fast was I?"
He questioned before jumping off of the pole, heading into a restaurant in a very small corner of an empty street
"No, it isn't that.."
Yuyen replied as Shu placed her down on one of the shabby chairs in the restaurant
"Hey, old geezer give us something to eat!!"
Shu yelled, causing an old man to walk out of the back with a black towel on his hands which he was using to dry his hands
"Who the hell is disrespecting- oh it's you, that kid from before, what do you want?"
Questioned the man as he stood in front of Shu. The man was quite short in terms of height, 142 centimeters to be more specific. His hair was greyish with slight hints of black here and there, but what was most notable about this old man was his physique, he had an extremely great amount of muscle mass throughout his entire tiny body, not only that but he had a mean look to match such physique which scared Yuyen slightly
"Hey old man, cut it out, you're too mean looking, you're scaring Yuyen"
Said Shu while pushing his hand against the old man's face causing the old man to get angry as he began to insult the kid while Shu began to do the same. It took a glance at Yuyen and 7 minutes for them to stop arguing
"Anyway, who is she? Your girlfriend?"
The old man questioned with a smirk on his face as he walked towards the kitchen. Shu of course didn't know what this meant and simply thought that the old man was asking if they were friends or not which Shu answered with
"Yeah, of course, She is!, though I've just met her Yuyen is definitely my girlfriend!"
This caused the old man to pause, not moving even an inch of his muscles while Yuyen blushed
"Wh-what did you just say?"
The old man questioned while turning around to see the kid who simply gave him his usual grin
"Anyway, just give us food geezer that's all we're here for"
Shu said, cutting to the case, getting drastically desperate for food as his stomach began to make sounds.
"Well I've just put all my ingredients away, all I have right now are ingredients for ramen, do you want any?"
The old man questioned, getting out of his temporary shock, as Shu nodded taking out four of his right fingers with a grin on his face
"Give me four of them!"
