Chereads / Zwerver di Mortuus Est / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

In a small unassuming alleyway, a man was limping, with one arm against the wall. The man had messy black hair, yellow eyes as if it flows in the dark.

"Damnit, I knew I should have walked here instead." Kuu mumbled in frustration.

__"Shit, I feel like shit right now, as if I just got out of a barrel after rolling down an entire mountain. I should have been more careful, teleport makes you dizzy when using your own mana, should have remembered that, especially when you go such stupid distances. Then again, I was hungry so it wasn't my fault" Kuu thought.

After a few seconds of literal hell, he finally started to regain a bit of his senses after zapping his brain with magic.

"Much better!!!" Kuu exclaimed loudly inside his brain.

As he slowly walked out the small alleyway, his hearing started to slowly come back, little by little he could hear loud cheers of many lively people.

__"Must be nice to be that energetic." Kuu thought as he opens his eyes.

The town was filled with torches, beers and unsurprisingly, lots and lots of people.

"What is this? Some sort of festival?" Kuu asked, it wasn't directed at anyone but himself but a random girl right next to Kuu answers.

She had bright blue eyes and was quite young, probably at her teenage years, her hair was covered entirely by the hood of her big, black cloak.

"Yes, it's a celebration of the Kingdom's birth, it happens once a year in every town, but Dimbel, a place that has barely any elves, celebrates it the loudest, people come here from all around the world but you don't sound like you know even a single bit around this place." explained the girl with his arms crossed.

"Ahaha Sorry, I came here with barely information, I basically only know about the elves." apologizes Kuu, with one hand on the back of his head.

"If you came here to look at the beauty of the elves, sorry to disappoint, but you should have went to the capital instead of Dimbel."

"I see, by the way, do you know any nearby diners?"

"Where did this come from?"

"Nothing, I just haven't eaten in a while."

"If you go that direction turned around that corner over there, you should find a billboard with the name: 'Spirit's resolve', they have good food." says the girl as she points towards a crowd.

"Over there?" says Kuu as he looks into the direction she was pointing.

There was no answer.

Kuu then looks back to the girl, only to discover that like a ghost, she disappeared, as if she doesn't even exist.

__"What was that? A ghost?????" he thought, he was genuinely confused.

=========================================

"So around here right?"

Kuu decided to just follow the what the girl said, surprisingly enough, there was nothing.

"Shouldn't have trusted her."

He decided to just look around the town.

=========================================

After around 5 minutes, Kuu finally found a diner.

As he opened the door, mental gusts of wind could be felt, as if he just opened the door to pure chaos and shenanigans.

A lot of drinking a talking, games and even more drinking.

__"Looks like a good place." Kuu thought.

He then grabbed a seat at a corner, and said: "Pass this to your boss for me, 'I'll have your most popular dish'." to the waiter.

...

...

After a long wait of 1 minute, it was a pretty long 1 minute, the food arrived, it was some sort of fish on rice with some watery eggs on top.

Kuu started to dig in.

"The fish's texture is good, and it's the perfect amount of heat, it pairs well with the hot rice, the price was cheap and I'll also have to factor in how fast it was as well, hmmm, 9/10." Kuu mutters.

Allow me to explain, as I wander around the world, I have a hobby of rating restaurants that I go to, 10/10 is a score given to the 'if you don't try this in your life your missing out' restaurantd, and 1/10 is of course, given to the 'I'll rather die to have to go through this again' restaurant, by the way, no restaurants have gotten a 10/10 of my years of wandering.

Kuu's quiet time eating food as suddenly disrupted by a loud shouting of an angry man.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FUCKER?"
