After waiting for that scene to end, everyone was like nothing had happened as Blake tried to explain what happened since he entered the store and resolve some misunderstandings.
"I see, you shouldn't have scared Blake like that, Monica."
"It was his fault, why do you reprimand me?!"
"Because you shouldn't have done that, I don't even want to think about what would have happened if indeed a thief had entered, the first thing you should have done was look for grandpa or me. Besides causing trouble for Blake, you must apologize to him." Shara had completely taken the attitude of an older sister and it was obvious that Monica did not entirely agree with her.
"Why should I?! I don't even know him."
"Then it's perfect, you should also introduce yourself to him, or should I call Grandpa?"
"Fine!... I'll do it..." Even though Shara didn't realize it, Blake clearly saw how Monica was looking at him with an angry face, and even though she was just a girl, Blake made a face defiantly directed at her. The little girl saw the face that was directed at her and turned her head as a mocking laugh came from her mouth, making Blake even more annoyed.
'Why does this little copy of Shara make me mad?'
"Nice to meet you, my name is Monica, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier, I hope you're not angry." Monica had taken a very graceful introductory pose as she bowed a little apologetically. That attitude surprised Blake, he believed that she would be reluctant to apologize or throw a tantrum in the process, but it seemed that she knew when had done something wrong and had to admit guilt, which made Blake change his complexion and see this little girl in front of him with a new light.
"The same to you, Monica, my name is Blake, and don't worry, I'm not angry." He said that with one of his typical smiles and it seemed like it was all over, but that was just a lie.
"I'm really sorry... I didn't know that you were a chicken that gets scared by anything, if I had known I would have brought some corn to calm you down."
"What did you say?" A vein was remarking on Blake's forehead, for some unknown reason, he could not bear that the little girl in front of him mocked so openly, at that moment he did not even care about his pride or that Shara was there and he was not silent. "It's not that it's a chicken, it's just that I was surprised to see a little orc wearing a pink dress."
"What did you say?!"
"What you heard!" As these two fought and told each other insult after insult, Shara enjoyed watching Blake show the maturity of a five-year-old boy and fight with her cute little sister. Maybe she should have separated them a long time ago, but she only smiled a little and enjoyed the show. "Well, at least I don't look like an orange!"
"Well, you...! You... Raaarrr!!"
"Aaahhhh! Why are you just biting me?!"
"It's your fault for being so annoying! Bye, I'll go to sleep!" And once Monica climbed the stairs to the second floor, Blake felt as if he had won the toughest battle he had ever had, but the satisfaction did not last long as he realized that Shara was still in the same place as before while she was looking at him with a pitying face.
"Shara... Could you pretend this never happened?"
"What are you talking about? Blake, is there something I should remember?" Blake could only thank in his mind that Shara was the only one who saw that shameful scene, and was reconsidering never fighting with her little sister again. "I hope you don't get mad at Monica, she's still a little girl after all, hehe."
"Don't even mention it, it's my fault too..."
"But I am sure of something. It seems that she likes you."
"Huh?" 'She likes me? Yes, of course.' Blake believed it was just the opposite.
"She's always scared of strangers or distrusts them, but I've never seen her act like that with anyone but you, and maybe it's just my opinion, but she seemed like she was having a lot of fun. If it's not too much trouble, you should try to get along better with her." Blake didn't know what to say, he thought Monica acted like that normally with everyone, maybe she did it because she really felt comfortable with him, but after thinking about it for a long time, Blake guessed that the little girl just disliked him just for the sake of it.
"By the way, Blake, what did you come for?"
"Ah, yes, I wanted..." But before finishing, a notification rang in his head again.
[My first Request...
Client: Shara
Introduce yourself to all the people in town. Progress: 21/21.]
'So the person I needed to meet was Monica...'
"Blake?" Shara caught Blake's attention since he had been lost staring at nothing right at that moment for no reason.
"Huh? Sorry, I think I got distracted, I was looking for you because I already showed up with everyone in town."
"Oh, so you're done with my request, and tell me, what did you think of the town?"
"I must say that it is a beautiful place and everyone who lives here is a good and interesting person. After I said goodbye to you, I arrived at the smithy and met Raven and Gaius, I followed your advice and gave Raven a toyherb, by her expression I can tell that she liked it."
"Hehe, I knew would do it."
"Then I went to the lake and there I met Pia, then I heard some screams and went into the cabin from there, I met Carlos before I had collided with Carmen, so we had already introduced ourselves."
"I hope Carlos has not misunderstood something, he cares a lot about Carmen."
"Well... Let's say it was nothing serious, haha... Anyway, I continued on my way and went through all the other parts of town that I had not seen, I met Marjorie and Marian, Evelyn and her entire family, and I went into the restaurant, and..." Despite having a lot to tell, it was already a bit late and Blake thought that the best thing would be to summarize everything, Shara listened to everything carefully and laughed every now and then at everything Blake had to go through during the day, causing her to tell herself that it was not a bad idea to give him that request.
