Opening his eyes, Shu would find himself on the ground. He was somewhat confused, looking around with an expression of loss
" Where are am I? "
Shu said to himself as Galahad suddenly placed his hand behind Shu's naked back
" You got beat man. Ogal ordered me to take your body, and as well as your clothes, he said you were wearing some sort of armor and that it may have harmed you even more "
Galahad explained while patting Shu's back before walking forward, standing in front of him with a small smile
" But by the looks of it, you look totally fine, no scratches, no scars, nothing "
Galahad said as he gave Shu a thumbs up, trying to comfort him but he was simply ignored.
Shu stood up from the ground, wiping away whatever dirt got on before turning to look at Galahad
"Where're my clothes? "
He questioned, with a nonchalant expression, receiving nothing but a finger point at a corner from Galahad as an answer.
" Thanks "
Was all Shu said before he headed over to the corner gripping the sides of his clothing, picking them up with not much effort, which was a surprise for Galahad
" H-how are you able to pick those things up like that? "
Galahad questioned, opening his mouth in disbelief
" You mean my clothes?"
Shu asked in return, with the same expression as before while pointing at what he was planning on wearing
" It took me ages to remove them from your body, and then a millennium to move them to that corner "
Galahad added, of course overreacting at the fact that those clothes were heavy
" Wouldn't you be dead if it took you so long? You'd be like an old man, made out of powder or something "
Shu replied while putting his pants on, grabbing onto his shirt and putting it on as well, proceeding to hold what seemed to be a white cape and wrap it around his left arm.
Shu's outfit was different then what he had before leaving for a month. He had on a long sleeve black shirt, with lines across the chest and waist area that shined like silver, the shirt was so baggy it also resembled the top of a Kimino.
As for his pants, they were also black, and just as baggy as his shirt, almost like it didn't belong to him, and to top it all off, each fraction of his set had in it a wide and big golden fairy wing tattooed on them.
" It's called exaggeration sir, but where did you even get those clothes? They're like super heavy, insanely heavy if I'm being honest with you, and by the looks of it, they seem very expensive "
Galahad explained as he analyzed Shu's clothes, finding them very unique and intriguing
" Expensive? "
Shu questioned, staring at his clothes very carefully, somewhat confused since he himself considered them to be nothing but training wear
" I mean, they look like clothes a foreign noble or royal family would wear, and they seemed branded, so they must be expensive. Where'd you get them anyway? "
Galahad questioned as he poked Shu's chest, even more, intrigued by them
" Well, my master gave them to me as a reward for being able to survive his training. It was pretty hellish if I say so myself "
" Like how hellish? "
" He'd grab me by my head and then beat me to a pulp "
"Oh..."
" Yeah so, these clothes are just for training, they aren't to make me look cool or anything, but if you're interested, I can ask grandma to make you some if we ever reunite "
Shu offered while pointing at his clothes with his unchanged and unchanging nonchalant expression
" N-no that's fine, don't concern the elderly with these trivial matters "
Galahad replied, with a nervous smile on his face
" Elderly? "
Shu thought, a little bit confused as he pictured an image of Amada flying around in his mind
" Anyway, we should get going, we need to finish this labyrinth soon.
Galahad whispered as he readied himself, grabbing what seemed to be a leather bag from the ground
" Why? We could just explore it and try to find some cool looking monsters to fight "
Shu suggested as he spreads his arms into the air, picturing himself fighting strong monsters while moving around like a six-year-old would
" Someone needs to finish it, or else we and a lot of other people will starve in here "
Galahad revealed, causing Shu's expression to shift from a nonchalant one to a serious one
" Hey Percival "
Shu whispered, with a very low and intimidating tone
" What did you just say? "
" Uh—That we'd starve if we don't finish this mini-game quickly "
Galahad replied, somewhat confused at the sudden shift in mood, before beginning to sweat, scared of Shu's eyes, which he felt stared deep into his soul
" Then let's move, I haven't eaten in two days, I can't wait anymore "
Shu said, with an expression of pain and annoyance
" I honestly can't get a read on this guy's personality. One second he's nice, the other he's an asshole, then he's a dumbass and then a serious commander. Seriously what's up with this guy?
Galahad thought to himself, watching as Shu began to walk, with an intimidating aura reeking off of him
" You'd expect him to be mad at the fact that he lost to Ogal but instead he's upset at the fact that he won't be able to eat if we don't finish this mini-game "
Galahad whispered, before following behind him, jogging a bit to catch up quicker
" So what's our next move? "
Galahad questioned, as he stared at Shu for a few seconds, before realizing he was looking down at him
" Now that I look at you more clearly, you're extremely short "
Galahad said as he placed a finger on his forehead, pointing forward and back at his forehead, measuring the height difference between them two
" I'm 170.18 centimeters in height, and considering that you're all the way down here, that would make you... "
Galahad whispered as he placed his hand above Shu's head
" 162.56 centimeters "
He said, with a small chuckle in his voice as he moved his hand back and forth on Shu's head, messing up his already messed up hair
" What about it? "
Shu questioned, as he looked up at Galahad, with an innocent expression, so innocent in fact that one could mistake him for a boy of nine
" N-nothing, don't worry about it "
Galahad replied, stuttering with his words, making Shu stare at him for a few seconds, before turning his head around, looking forward, which relieved the boy as he looked down at Shu
" For a second there I forgot how strong and intimidating this guy is, it's still hard to predict when and how his personality changes. If I call him short maybe he'd get angry and beat the shit out of me, whether he does or not doesn't matter, the fact that I don't know him well makes it difficult for me to talk to him normally. I'll just void making fun of him for now"
Galahad thought to himself, as he looked down at Shu, nervously smiling as the two of them continued to walk
