When I called him, he looked at me aggrieved and desperate and his face was as if he found water in the desert. The people trying to stop Theo from running away looked at me and stopped there. Theo ran towards me while crying.
"Sister, where were you? Why did you leave me here alone? I thought you left without me."
He sobbed and said again, "They tried to stop me and didn't let me go to find you."
His voice was filled with grief and anger. I didn't know Theo would wake up when I was not here. He was sleeping soundly when I was there but woke up when I was not there.
"Theo," I said gently. Theo looked at me.
"I asked them to stop you from running away."
He was surprised to hear me. He looked at me coldly.
"I know you were hurt that I leave you alone here. But when I woke up and saw we didn't have any good clothes on us and needed to buy some clothes. Say, we always can't wear these ragged clothes, right?"
Hearing me, he calmed down a little.
The people, who were trying to stop Theo from going outside, I glanced at them. They were coming towards us. One of them nodded towards me, that person was a middle-aged old man.
He came and said, "I did what you told me, Miss."
"Thank you for your hard work."
I smiled and said softly.
"No, it's our work."
That man also said while smiling. I took out ten silver coins from my pouch and said while offering him the coins, "Here, please take them. I appreciate what you did."
The old man took them when I offered him the silver coins. When he saw ten silver coins he smiled brightly and went with the people who were with him.
"Theo, let's go."
I held Theo's hand and went inside the room.
"Why did you come out of the room?"
My voice was filled with a little anger. Hearing my voice he was a little startled.
"I thought... you left me alone here."
He said while stammering.
"If I leave you here, then I won't take you with me. You would've waited for me three to four hours. But why did you try to run away?"
He couldn't say anything when I asked him. When he didn't say anything I said again.
"I was scared when I didn't see you after waking up."
I sighed after hearing him and understood that he felt uneasy when I left him there.
"I went to buy some clothes for us. We will go to the academy so we need some good clothes. If we always stay with these bad clothes on us, then we won't be able to enter the academy."
I paused for a moment and looked at him.
Then said again, "But if I run away from here, would you be able to find me? No, you won't. Because you don't know where I went. So if anything like this happens in the future, you will stay in the room and don't try to go anywhere. If I find you did these kinds of things again and run away, then I won't go to find you. That is a waste of time. I don't have much time in my hand, remember this."
The last few lines were filled with anger. So that he won't try to run away again like this. If he ran away and someone tried to sell him again, then where would I find him? It will break my promise to him.
"I understand. I am sorry."
He said with a low voice.
"It's good that you understand. Come here, let's see what I bought for you."
I said softly.
Then I took out the five dresses that I bought for him. Seeing the dresses, his eyes become more brighter than when I saved him.
"Do you like these?"
I asked to know if he liked these or not.
"Hmm."
He nodded vigorously with happiness.
"Then go to the bathroom for a bath. After bathing you will wear these dresses from now on. Don't try to keep them. I will buy you more good dresses in the future."
I said with a smile. He looked at me and went to bathe hurriedly with a dress in his hand.
Half an hour later, he came out while wearing the new dress. Now he looks like a little nobleman.
He was shy when he came out wearing the new dress.
"It looks good on you, Theo."
When he heard my compliments he smiled brightly.
"Come here. I bought some sweet things for us. Let's eat."
Then both of us ate the sweet dessert that I bought for us. We ate all the sweet desserts. Both of us were hungry. He didn't eat all day and I didn't eat sweet things after coming into this world. So, it was really good.
After eating, I saw the moon in the sky. I looked outside from the window and was thinking what will I do from now on? Also, why did I come to this world? I was just sleeping on my bed. I didn't even think that I would die there and come here to live my life again as a side character.
However, what happened I can't describe with language but I will try to live my life fullest in this world. I will shine again in this world. My is mine and no one can control me. I will walk the righteous path. When someone's sin is little then his punishment is also little. So I will try to avoid sin so that I can live peacefully.
After thinking, I went to bed. Theo was also tired after trying to run away so he is sleeping soundly. I sighed and thought, did I owe him in my last life? If not then why did I take him with me? I think I am weak on children.
The next day, I woke up first again. I freshened up and went to Theo's bedside.
"Theo, Theo."
I called him and tried to wake him up.
Hearing my call, he woke up while rubbing his eyes with his little hand.
"Sister."
"Wake up. We will go to the teleportation house today."
I said softly.
Hearing my words, he quickly freshens up like a good boy. After we came out of the inn with our things. Then we found a restaurant to buy some food. Today we won't eat anything. If we we will vomit after we arrive at the Luminous City. Luminous Academy is located in Luminous City. The city wasn't called Luminous City at first but when the Luminous Academy expanded and became more popular, the city was named after it. I didn't know it at all. But I heard some people when I bought some clothes on it.
Some people were talking about this while sighing. I think those people also wanted to enter the academy but couldn't. But I got some useful news. When I go to the city I will find some books about the city and the academy. It would be good if I knew something about the academy.
While walking I was thinking and didn't know when I came in front of the teleportation house. I stopped thinking when I heard Theo's voice.
"Brother, we arrived."
I looked in front of me and saw we arrived. Then we entered the house.
A woman, who was in his thirties came to us and asked, "Where will you go?"
"Luminous City," I replied.
"Come with me."
She said with a smile.
We followed her. She took us to the second floor but didn't stop.
After walking for some time, she stopped to open a door and enter the room. We followed her and entered the room.
The room was filled with crystal and it was much better than the two previous rooms.
"Five gold coins."
She asked the price of using the room.
I gave her the price she asked me. When I gave her the gold coins, she smiled and asked us to stand in the middle point of the teleportation circle. I held Theo's hand and went inside the teleportation circle and stood in the middle point.
She started to open the teleportation circle. I just felt a little push from the circle. After a while, we arrived at another teleportation house. This room was much grander than I thought.
When I looked around, I heard someone say, "If you arrived then come out of the room quickly. People are waiting to go."
Hearing the voice I looked around and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair and saying while closing his eyes.
We came out of the room. Then it was also the second floor. Then I and Theo also came out of the teleportation house. After coming out I looked around. I saw there were more three teleportation houses beside this.
This city is much bigger than I thought. Even though this world looked like it was medieval Europe, it was much grander. This city is bigger than Londo city where I was in my past life.
People are coming and going. They are all busy. In front of the Teleportation house is a big hotel. There can people stay. Here doesn't have any inn. It is good. I think we can stay here for a few days and find out about the academy.
I went inside the hotel. Its name was interesting. I don't know who came up with this name. They can also name it a peace house or rest house.
"Welcome to Restia."
Someone said when we entered the hotel. I went to the reception and rented a two-bed big room.
We went to our room. The room was big and fresh. Seeing the room, I was happy.
"Theo, let's go first freshen up."
After we freshened up, we started to eat the food I bought when we were city of Dawnspring. When we were eating our food, someone from the hotel came with food to our room. So, here also has a food system. That is good. We were hungry. The food I bought was some snacks. After eating the food, we were full.
Then I just lay down on the bed and Theo also followed me.
I woke up in the afternoon. When I woke up, I saw Theo waking up first and looking outside from the window.
"Theo, come with me."
I said. Theo came to me and I walked outside of the room with Theo while closing the door. After I saw the room number and went down, to where the receptionist was.
"Do you know where can I buy some books?"
I asked the receptionist.
"What kinds of books do you need?"
The receptionist asked.
The receptionist was a young man whose age was twenty-two or three. His eyes were balck but his hair was light brown color. The man was not white or black but he looked good.
"About this city."
I said.
"You can go straight and then left and then right. You will find an old library there."
He told us about where the library was. I thanked him.
"Thank you."
Saying I turned my back and was going from there.
"You have to come back before nine hours at night."
I was surprised to hear nine hours.
"Nine hours?"
I asked him.
"Yes. It is the time of night twelve hours."
"Oh, I will."
Saying this, I came out of the hotel. I think they say nine o'clock to nine hours. I learned some new things here. I have to read some books about this world again. Then no one will think I am not from this world. Won't I die earlier if they think of Alien? It will be very painful to die as an Alien.
