"Captain!"
A black clothed young man suddenly patted the armored dwarf who was watching intently on two men playing a board game.
With his concentration was broken, the dwarf captain suddenly turned around and punched the black clothed young man's stomach!
"OOF!"
With a punch on his stomach, he knelt down and covered his it with both of his arms. Pain, no he waited for the sudden pain but nothing happened.
"Don't try to sneak on others if you don't know how to deal if it failed!" With a stern face, he reprimanded the young man.
He knew someone was sneaking on him without malice even though he was facing the opposite direction. So he didn't tried to use force before seeing who it was.
"Ehm, sorry captain but when I saw the people around full of concentration, I didn't dare disturbing them." While standing up and patted the dusts off his pants, he said the reason in order for his captain to not misunderstand.
"Anyway, what were you watching captain?" Nyx was curious as why his captain who only has interest in alcohol, fighting and more alcohol was intently watching old men facing each other with a board in between.
Though his captain is a dwarf, he dislike forging nor staying near a forge. He likes fighting the most, with his mighty tall shield and a morning star full of killing intent. Oh yeah, did I mention that he likes good alcohol? He likes it that it is mentioned many times.
"IT'S CHESS!" A bald old man who was eavesdropping at the side suddenly interjected as he heard someone asking what they were playing. He the self-proclaimed *The Wise Man of Chess* will teach another student the profoundness of the game!
"Chess is a board game for two players. It is played on a square board, made up, made up of sixty-four smaller squares, with eight squares in each row and column. Each player starts with sixteen pieces: eight pawns, two knights-" With great enthusiasm, the bald old man talked about every detail that he knew on Chess.
"Oh yeah captain, I have already bought the supplies and sent it to the inn that Estel and Lady Scarlet prepared. Ehm, it's already the fourth bell on the afternoon, Sir Reinhold told me where you would be." He whispered to his captain while the bald old man continued on his introduction.
"It's already the fourth bell huh." They separated after the first bell rang and three bells have already rang since then.
'Time passed really quickly if you were doing something you like. It's a pity that the store is still closed.' The dwarf captain thought in his heart.
"Then let's go meet them." He decided to go to the restaurant as they planned since the owner of the store haven't returned yet.
"Oh? You two are leaving? Sigh! A pity that you haven't played the game young man!" The bald old man shook his head and regretted not having another student.
"Yes, we still have something to do. Thank you for your teaching earlier friend." With a rare smile the dwarf captain reached his hand to him
"Hehe, I'm glad to meet another chess friend too." He also reached his hand.
While the two was shaking their hands, suddenly the sound of a gate opening can be heard.
