' Boy, do you know what you just said? ' Everest spoke to Four.
"Of course, maybe now I'm not comparable to that demon lord, but in the future I will destroy it myself" Four with a serious face.
"By the way, how should I Call you guys?" Four asked Ranmaru and Arthur.
Ranmaru and Arthur also took off their robes and told them his name.
"Alright Ran, Arthur, I'm Four looks like we will work together from now on" Four smiled at the both of them.
"Put on your robes, we have to find out what happened to your comrades." Four walked towards the city center.
"They will be important partners in getting Astechic back as well as destroying the Insect Empire" Four said in a serious tone.
Ran and Arthur put on their robes and went with Four.
'Boy, if their comrades are still alive then, they should be in a different place'
" What do you mean? "
'Just like what happened to the two of them, it's possible the others are like that too'
Four relayed what Everest had said to Ran and Arthur.
"Then how do we find them?" Arthur wondered.
"Hope for a miracle," replied Four.
Ran and Arthur felt anxious about the state of their comrades.
they knew very well, the councilors were dying before, and if they were to be placed in demon territory then it would be very dangerous.
' They couldn't possibly be outside the continent, so something must have moved around the Astechic region' Everest gave Four his thoughts.
"First we have to find information around here" Four enters a bar which contains several drunken demons.
Four sits down and looks on.
"Hey, this isn't a place for brats like you." One of the drunken demons bullied Four who was sitting with Ran and Arthur.
Four is silent. he was still a child after all, so it was a natural thing to be rebuked.
The demon was annoyed at being ignored and hit the table.
"Stop it, there's no commotion in my bar" An old geezer appeared and calmed the demon's anger.
Everest felt a familiar energy from the old geezer.
The demon sat back down and immediately drank with an annoyed face.
meanwhile Ranmaru and Arthur couldn't speak and only saw a few humans who were used as errands and slaves in the bar.
The old man took a drink and sat down next to Four.
"Looks like you're having trouble." The old man looked at Four.
He occasionally glanced at Ran and Arthur.
"Hmm, I'm used to it." Four laughed softly.
"Looks like there's nothing we can get here" Four thought to himself.
Four is about to stand up and leave but is stopped by Everest.
'Sit longer'
Four is confused by Everest's instructions.
"It's rare to see demons and humans sitting at the same table" The old geezer whispered to Four.
And of course Four was surprised. No one should be able to identify Ran and Arthur as humans since they were wearing Cloaks that could disguise their aura.
'Boy, he's not the enemy'
Four believes Everest's statement. And answer as usual.
"Yeah I think so too"
The old man looked very happy to drink his liquor.
"Hahaha, you're very interesting" The old man laughed.
The old man stood up and approached Ran and Arthur Dan whispered something. And then left a note on their desk. He returned to serve his customers.
"Goodbye, have a nice day"
...
Four looks at the note left by Grandpa and reads its contents.
Four smiled and stood up and invited his two companions to leave.
"Haha, looks like you're in luck, if you weren't stopped by grandpa bar, you'd already be minced meat." One of the demons spoke to the demon that had bothered Four earlier.
...
"Where are we going?" Ran asked.
"Do you know where Chova City is?" Four asks.
Ran and Arthur looked at each other and answered simultaneously.
"Yes"
"Chova City is in the South" Arthur added.
"That is our goal. Do you guys need weapons to fight?" Four.
The two of them immediately understood what Four meant.
"Then let's find a blacksmith around here." Four continued walking.
Finding blacksmiths turned out to be more difficult than expected, because demons began to take over one by one the Astechic kingdom's territory, blacksmithing became a rare place. Although it should over time it will become crowded again.
After several hours of searching and asking, they finally found a blacksmith who sold fighting equipment.
the three of them entered and four let the two of them choose a weapon that suited them.
After selecting Four directly pay with soul Crystals for both weapons.
Bow and a Greatsword.
and new clothes for the three of them.
"Time to go" Four and his two new companions embark on a journey to the city of Chova.
