"Are you battle maniacs junkies, huh?!"
"Nay-nay!" she started to laugh. "More like an angelic heart person I am!"
(Liar! I knew its a lie!) I doubted her.
"So!" she said while juggling the heart of a werewolf with her hands. "Do you understand how -disparity- between us???" she smiled, but with a grin smiled.
(Uwahh! she wants to kill me???) I made a stance fight subconsciously.
"Wow!" she made an expression of awe. "Interesting!"
But, she spoke again,
"But!" she made a give-up pose. "Not now. So, let us practice!"
In the end, Nostradamus and I both practiced martial arts and magic. Besides training, we also encountered a lot of interference from mystical beings. An arduous experienced I had.

Two years later...
Right now, I was sitting on a pick of monster corpses. With sweat dripping down my face, I wipe them with my hands occasionally. With my dagger and karambit in my gripes, I fought all of the monsters. As a result, the raincoat shirt given by Nostradamus, its was covered in blood.
Coinciding with completing my "practices", raindrops began to wet the earth. Like nature mourning its creatures that disappeared in my hands, nature mourns in sorrow. Little by little, the water droplets are getting more and more. Even though I'm in a sitting position, I can clearly see the rain grains...
The oval shape at the end is like a grain of rice... Clear as broken glass... Clean like a baby who hasn't been touched by this dirty world...
The morning sun's rays started to dazzle my tired eyes slightly. The smell of morning air, the smell of rain-stained earth; the morning dew that flies thinly, becomes a necessity as well as an unexpected "gift" to me.
(It hasn't rained in a while...) I muttered while feeling the sensation of the weather this time.
Not long after I felt the "gift" I received, I felt an attack from my behind. The attack aimed right at my head. Realizing that, I deflected it with the karambit I had wrapped with the id.
(Enemy, huh? Those creatures didn't let me relax for a while!) I started to stand up again.
Stand before me, there was a creature. A black-skull wolf in several parts like legs, spine, and half of its face. Not only that, there were several orbs of fire beside it.
"Wow!" while stretching my body. "Looks like I've got a big doggo in here. Want to little "treatment" for you?" smile while pointing it with my dagger.
The black-skull wolf started to attack me. With its claws, it started to pounching me. Not only one-two but several times it did. In a different situation, I dodged its attacks like nothing happen. Honestly, it's like a play-time catch and run with a normal dog.
"Such lame reactions I had!" while dodging easily its attacks. "At least, give me some better attacks like using your balls or anything!"
Hearing my statements before, the black-skull wolf got furious. It began to throw some fire orbs like a machine gun. Getting numerous attacks made me get a little excitement from it.
"This is what I wanted in the first place!" While I dodged and started to run toward the black-skull wolf.
Dodges, parries, until giving attacks back just like a normal thing to do. Although in the perspective of normal, it's not normal, I became adapted because of her training.
(Looks like I've enough about this, It made me bored honestly.) I got a boring situation.
I started to use the id in my weapons. Dagger and karambit became wrapped because of it. On other hand, I got the weakness of that creature. Based on its attacks until now, the black-skull wolf had several times to "recharge" its energies.
(Just wait for moments for it!) I started to become focused.
Like got a chance about it, the black-skull wolf got in that "recharge" position. When I saw that moment, I got to hurry up. Started to kill it.
The black-skull wolf aware of my movements started to throw several attacks. Right now, it threw its slash of claws. The slashes are more like a slash of katana in a bigger shape. It began toward to me.
"Bring it on!" I spoke with a joyful tone.
I started increasing my speed while dodging its attacks. Became faster, became unable to be caught like a cheetah that hunts deer.
The distance between us started to close. The aim could be saw clears. After focusing on my target, I threw my dagger at its face.
*Swoosh!*
Right on my prediction, the dagger stabbed its right eye. Coming based on that effect, the black-skull wolf started to roar because of the pain it had.
Momentum is gained. I started to dash into its neck. Aware of my presence, the wolf started to attack me again. But, when the wolf wanted to attack, I was already at its neck and began slashing it.
*Slash!*
The drips of blood started to spurt. The black-skull wolf fell to the ground. The wolf is near between dying situation. Seeing that, I sighed while speaking,
"That was GG! No debate in here. Rest in peace, doggo!" And I stabbed its core.
This creature had died. After much time I used it, I could rest finally. While I rest for a bit, a familiar voice spoke to me,
"Splendid!" while clapping her hands. "Looks like thou'd improvement based on thy combatant and the id!"
"Don't interfere with my rest," I yawned while stretching my upper body. "By the way, did you bring the snack?"
"Yes, I did it. Here!" while throwing a snack. "Only supermarket onigiri!"
I caught the onigiri. With solemnly, I started to eat it. At the same time, Nostradamus spoke to me,
"After two years of thy training, looks like it's the perfect time to do that!"
"What?!" while I tried to eat my onigiri. "What do you mean by that??"
"Thy revenge. Art thou forgets about that??"
I choked while hearing her question. After clearing my conditions, I said to her,
"Are you serious this is the right time? I thought you wanted to hold this training one year again as you said before," while still eating my meals.
"In my prediction honestly," while she walked to me and pick up another onigiri. "But, based on thy training and exhibition before, I changed my mind about my statements before I spoke,"
"Well," eating the only left onigiri. "If you already made decisions, then I must start to prepare everything!" I started to rise my body.
After those conversations, we walked into my house. When I was walking beside her,
"About your decisions before, where must we go first?" while stretching my both hands.
"First? Of course, weapon shops!"
"What?! Weapon shops?? I never thought that weapon shops had an id weapon. Why you didn't tell me in the first place!" I was shocked for a while.
"Because thou art still greenhorn before. But right now, thou'rt already in "normal" state. So, let's say, it's thy time for the next level!" she spoke with a joyful tone.
"When you said about normal, for me, preference of your normal state is a ridicule-not, it's a dipshit joke!" I cynical her.
"What an honest reaction I had today!" She smiled at me.
After some preparations we did, we went there by taxi.
***
Finally, we arrived at the unusual place. This place is like a building that empties in several decades. Some roots of trees began wrapping that wall of the building.
"Are you serious this is the place that buys and sells the weapons of id?!"
"No doubt in here!" she replied with a confident pose.
(This is an absurd situation I'd in my life!) I started sighing.
But, in the same momentum, I felt something smells delicious. It's like the smell of spices food. Ginger, chilies, and curries also smelled by me. It made me feel hungry for a while.
"I felt hungry when I smell that. Who did cooking it?!" while rubbing my stomach.
"That's creatures we toward it. Wait for a moment!"
Suddenly, she walked to the door of an empty building. When I saw her, she as if spoke with someone from behind the door. After several minutes she did that, she walked back to me. Seeing that, I began speaking to her,
"Who did you speak with??" I felt a little curious about her activities.
"Just talked with my colleague!" She smiled at me.
(Colleague, huh?? That made me suspicious of you!) I doubted her replies in my mind.
The door started to open gradually. From that door, A girl appeared before us. She has a beautiful-southeast Asian with tan skin. Her hair has a curly style. She wore a traditional shirt. The girl spoke to us with a respectful tone,
"Welcome to our place. What could I help you with?" she smiled with closed eyes.
"Hello, O generous Lidia! Remembering me, did thou?" she said with a joyful tone.
Hearing that, the girl standing before us began to change its tone,
"Oh, for fuck sake! Why did you must appear in this situation?!" she spoke with an angry tone.
"Well-well!" Nostradamus replied with a happy tone. "That's a Lidia I knew!"
"Stop your nonsense talks!" her face became angry. "What did you want?!"
"Just a little business with thy father. We made a promise before!" she replied in the same tone.
The girl named Lidia started to long sigh. But, she began speaking to us again,
"Follow me!"
We began to come into the empty building. When I walked beside Nostradamus, I asked her,
"Who is she?? It's not like you have a good relationship with her,"
"Ease thy horse, sweety. Me and Lidia only had a "beautiful" relationship. So, don't worry about it!"
"A "beautiful" relationship? Eat my shit instead of hearing your bullshit!" Lidia started to sarcasm with Nostradamus said.
(It began complicated looks like!) I sighed for a bit.
"But, honestly, who is she, Nostradamus??" I became serious.
"The girl who walked before us is one of the princesses from nobility elves. In the simple term, she is one of another nobility princesses bunian people!"
"Eh??" I stopped my walks. "Hah! Did you say... a princess?!" I shocked after hearing her statements.
