'Will I reach heaven or hell? Curious...'
The rhino slowly transformed back to a woman in a long white gown with dainty hat on top of her head. She started walking towards Darwin.
Alex, who had also been blown away after the collision between them, was stunned to see the woman transforming. He sat on the broken, crumbled down stall and rubbed his eyes.
So...she's not a molesting pervert? She's just an animal?
He shook his head and stood up, also making his way to Darwin and the lady. Darwin slowly opened his eyes when he sensed both of them in front of them.
"Well...Whaddya gonna do?"
The lady just stared at him, before turning to Alex, as if to ask him what he would like to do now.
Alex, happy with the attention, walked up to Darwin, checked his pockets for any money, which he didn't have, looked at how miserable Darwin was (He was very miserable) and nodded his head, satisfied.
"We don't need to kill him. We can just go now. Heheheh...the embarrassment he will feel is better than killing him. The lady didn't really understand, but since this was his problem, she just decided to leave it to Alex.
She started to walk away. Alex saw this and started walking beside her.
"Why are you following me?"
"I want to hug your thighs"
"Hug my thighs?"
She started to lift up her long gown.
"Nononono...STOP! That is not what I meant!"
"I just meant that I want your protection and...I want you to train me"
Alex worked up the courage to tell the lady that he wanted to learn how to fight from her. Being able to best the owner that he could only run from, even after he powered up, that was something he wanted to be able to do.
Turns out he was wrong. She was not a molesting pervert. Darwin, lodged in the wall, just looked at them walking away while bantering and decided not to get into any fights with them.
He would never be confident in fighting one of the four guardians of Farm Forest, even if he was given a hundred lives.
The lady and Alex started to walk toward the exit of the town. As soon as they reached it however...
"Oh no! I forgot the weapons! I got to back and get them!"
"What weapons?"
"Weapons for another child that has stumbled into my care"
"Alright fine...but this time let me take you to a proper store that will not cheat you out of your money. You were almost going to lose all your money for cheap weapons"
"Oh! Thank you dear!"
Alex led the lady through multiple narrow alleyways before they arrived in front of a small shack. A signboard hung on top of the store. It was unrecognizable and none of the letters or words could be seen properly.
"In you go. You can find everything you need here. You get what you need, I will be right back"
"Ok"
"Alright, I'll be back, so don't leave without me. Just wait a bit in front of the store if you finish first"
"Ok"
After assuring that she would wait for him and would not leave without him, she saw Alex zip away through the alleys.
She walked into the store. Inside, she found plenty of different weapons hanging and standing on stands, shelves and hooks. Different types of swords, polearms, daggers, scythes, and bows could be seen throughout the store.
She flew between the shelves, suddenly infected with a craze to shop. Suddenly a tall, green haired and blue eyed elf stopped her.
"Hello dear customer, if you want something, you can just ask me. No need to dart around wasting everyone's time"
"I want a greatsword, a battle hammer, a double bladed axe, two katanas, two curved daggers, a scythe, needles, brass...or no, was it silver?...two knuckles of some sort, and a spear"
The elf's expression was priceless. He just stared at her with a stunned expression, his jaw touching the floor. After finally pulling his jaw back to its proper place, he asked
"You're buying these many weapons for how many people again?"
"One person"
"WHAT?!"
His jaw that had just been reset to its proper position once again crashed to the floor.
"How can you buy these many weapons for one person? No one would be able to practice and master all of these weapons in one lifetime"
"I know that you might want to be supportive of whomever you're getting these weapons for but I think you should convince them that it's better to focus on just one or two weapons rather than all of them"
"I will do no such thing! The child wants to practice these weapons and I won't stop him"
"I'm saying this for his own good! He will never prosper in this world if he tries to master all of those weapons"
"It is you job to provide weapons so you do that. Do not instruct us on what we should and shouldn't do"
"Argh! Have you not heard of the saying 'A Jack of all trades is a master of none?'"
"No. I haven't"
"..."
"Fine...but don't ask for a refund if it turns out he can't learn all of them"
"Of course not"
"Haaa....Frankie! We got a big order here!"
"Yeah? Let's get on it right away then! Hahahah! What do we gotta do?"
"I've written everything down, give me a moment, I'm coming to ya"
"Give me that... Gee, that's a lotta orders!"
"You got that right"
The elf ran off to the room in the back and started talking to someone else who was working in there. After a bit of banter, he finally came back to the front of the store behind the counter, but he was not alone.
Following him was a Spiderbourne. A short man with bulging muscles and 6 arms. He also had 2 pairs of legs. He wore a shirt and pant that had way too many holes in it for all his extra limbs. He held a hammer in two of his hands and his other arms were free, hanging by his side.
"Howdy there! So you are the one with all those requests! I just had to see the person who wants so many of my weapons"
Suddenly the room was filled with pressure, all of it was concentrated on the lady. A brutal killing intent washed over her and the surroundings started to melt away.
All around her, the scenery changed and her nightmare began.
