Chapter 7 - Gilbert's Return

["He is dead, He died by a demon just like your family"]

("Hmm. Dead!")

After hearing that Arce know that it was something that he shouldn't be asking. His face got darkened and He felt guilt. He don't even know how to continue this conversation anymore so he decided to change the subject.

["So can you tell me what kind of a person was my father?"]

When he is a kid he never had a chance to properly talk to his father, his father was quite a busy person and rarely home.

["Oh Karl was a very good kid when he was a kid, my son, Gilbert and Karl use to play together, until Your Grandpa and Grandma sift to Orial"]

["So He lived in this town?"]

["Yes"]

("I never aspect Dolha to be my grandpa's hometown")

["When your father was alive he was quite famous for his good deeds for this country"]

Lara is quite a talkative and lively person when she started talking it was quite hard to stop her. She is now telling me the stories of my father, Apparently, he was quite famous and he even killed some demon general's when he was young but now he lives in stories and his legacy was lost for quite some time.

2 hours later someone gave a knock on the door. Lara who was telling me stories stopped and tell the person to enter.

When the door open a Familiar figure walked, It was Gilbert and blood can be seen all over his body, But somehow he don't seem to be injured.

["Gilbert what happened?"]

Suddenly Lara said with a worried and curious voice. It was obvious anyone can be like that after seeing anyone like that.

["Nothing, Some bandit's blocked our path and I have to take care of them"]

-SIGH

After hearing Gilbert Lara let out a huge sigh of relief

["So Arce are you compatible now?"]

Gilbert said with a Huge smile on his face while looking at Arce

["Yes"]

["Oh good"]

["OK take some rest and we will go out to the town this evening"]

Arce was quite shocked, He was not expecting this and looked at Gilbert with a confused look.

["Why?"]

Gilbert Gave a smile

["For shopping off cores"]

Arce is dumbfounded after hearing but he decided not to talk about it anymore. He can tell by Gilbert's look even if he asked he is gonna change the subject like that.

after some talking Gilbert and Lara both leave the room after telling me to take some rest. Lying in bed I again started thinking about the things that happened in these last few day's.how he get out of this misery and how he met Gilbert and Lara. unknowingly to him, he doesn't even know when he fell asleep.

While sleeping I had a Dream where I am standing inside what look's to be liberty where I am surrounding by a hallway of bookshelves and in the end, I can see a lectern where a single book is placed. when I got close I can see something writing's written on the book cover but I can't read it. it is when I heard a voice calling my name and telling me to wake up

that when my consciousness returned to reality I saw a man in his late 30s standing near my bed. It was Gilbert and he is wearing a black shirt and brown pants and as allowed a sword is hanging from his hips.

I got up and stared at Gilbert who is giving me a smile.

["Arce, Get ready we are going to the market for buying some clothes for you"]

["Hmm. Why?"]

It was quite sudden for Arce, he knew Gilbert said that they are going to the market but he don't aspect this.

["We are leaving this town tomorrow and going to my house"]

Arce is dumbfounded and confused at the same time.

("what is this man saying?")

["Why?"]

["You don't have a place to stay do you? so I and Lara decided to take you to my house, you will be staying with us"]

["Oh I see"]

This is too sudden for Arce but for now, this is the best opinion for him. And don't have a choice but to go with the flow. he does not have a place to stay.

["Ok then let's go"]

I got up from the bed and got close to Gilbert. and headed out.

When we got out of the inn I can see people walking inside the town. Gilbert grabbed my hand and started walking. I can see various buildings and stores. despite being a small town it has almost everything you ever need. I can see town's people staring at me but I decided to ignore them. After a while, Gilbert stopped in front of a wooden building where I can see a piece of cloth attached to some nails.

Gilbert and I entered the store and I can see various types of clothing elegantly placed on top of selves, and in front of me is a desk where I can see a girl who is almost in her mid 20's sitting and reading a book. when she noticed us she got up and greeted us with a smile.

["hello sir, How can I help you"]

["I am looking for some clothe's for him"]

["Ok wait, sir"]

She brings out some normal-looking shirts and some pants.

["Ok pack these"]

after some looking Gilbert chose 5 pairs of shirts and pants and tell her to pack them.

After buying clothe's Gilbert Take me to a barber shop and fixed my messy and curly hair.

when we got back to the inn it was almost evening, We put our thing's inside our room's and the 2 of us got inside the private bath that the inn has. when I got a side of the bathroom I saw a big open-air hot tub. I was quite surprised I have never seen anything like that

["WOW"]
