Chapter 3 - 3. A Few Allies

Three days have passed Lumi managed to book a room a week which just so happens to be when Graul plans to expose the truth.

The two were walking in the town to meet with the friends Graul mentioned entering a bookstore 'Hidden in plane sight had I not known I would have never known this place doubles as a hideout' still following Graul who spoke a phrase given only to the resistance.

The woman at the desk front motioned to follow putting a on break sign on the desk. Moving a mat revealed a trap door that a had a staircase built in going down.

A door creaking open with a round table along with 6 occupants. "The plan is ready to begin but first we need to bring our junior here up to speed" Graul taking his seat at the head of the table.

"What can pipsqueak even do I mean look at him!?" a man with four arms with the head and body of a buffalo with five ridges of both sides with a scar over his forehead. The man wore a tunic and left his upper body exposed.

"Never judge a book by its cover" Lumi replied before creating a body double using magic. The looks on their faces were priceless "You never told me you could do magic" Graul said a little annoyed . "You never asked" was the reply he got.

"Alright let's stay on the objective here Han" the woman who led them down here. In terms of appearance she had a deformed face with uneven eyes and a short tail wearing a green sundress.

"Needed to make sure he wasn't dead weight is all" the now named Han replied crossing his arms. "Now for the plan" Graul had pulled out a map of the town with four X's marked on it.

"Han and Gel will scout this location for we have been getting reports that strange items are being shipped here"

"Al and Mark will be keeping an eye on the ridge gather items as proof and don't get caught"

"Sam and Dave you two need to covertly disrupt the supply chain giving us more time in case something goes wrong. If the security detail thickens fall back"

"The last part kid your with me we need to get masses on our side this is our most important task. Your ability to use magic will be of great value to lessen the need for the Mirgo's products"

"For the sake of our home,children, and wellbeing failure is not an option we must prevail no matter the cost dismissed!!" the various members started their mission right away

"Time square is full this is our best opportunity to gather support quickly come on" Graul making haste Lumi not far behind "Graul I have an idea that may just work" the to are a third of the way there.

"What is it?" He said avoiding people while maintaining speed. "You just be your usual self and make a scene leave the rest to me" jumping over a cart in a smooth motion lightly landing on his feet.

"If we had more time I would have said no, but now is not the time let's do it" the two arrive when Graul notices the main event countdown ticking down.

Sticking to the plan he went to a stall to complain about the price loudly getting the attention of everyone there.

'That's it big guy I just need a few minutes' spotting an empty cart he made a portal and took some big fruits that grew in the Woobonga's dimension and push the cart to the crowd.

"Excuse me I would like to see if anyone is interested in exotic fruits" putting on his shy child act. "What ridiculous price are you going to charge!?" Graul said scratching his chin.

"Just 2 silvers per fruit you can try one for free the freshness is guaranteed" Lumi meekly replied.

Graul grabbed one of the weird looking fruits taking a bite his world exploded from the flavor. "MY GOODNESS I'll TAKE 3!!!" the plan worked as many people were buying the fruits saying it was the best thing they ever tasted.

"How long will you be here selling these!?" someone shouted getting the whole crowd rowdy and all trying to ask questions at the same time.

"HEY HEY HEY LET HIM TALK WILL YA!!!?" Graul had to yell silencing them. "If anyone knows how to farm would I be more than happy to teach you how to grow them" this got a great response "This is so much better than the Mirgo's food and it's affordable!!" someone shouted.

'The trap is set now we just need the big bad wolf to reveal itself' Lumi now having sold the last of the fruits as a something shot of into the sky bursting into flames that danced across the sky.

'How pretty' genuinely amazed by the shapes being made by the… he has no idea what there called but who cares the flame shifted into multiple things including a butterfly and without his notice his cheek marks glowed noticed by none except one person paying attention to him narrowing his eyes at the one who stole from him.
