Chapter 3 - The Pathetic Boy I meet on accident

Walking a bit around the town's market side, she saw a rather large crowd gathering around a middle aged man and a younger looking weak boy, the man appears to to yelling at him also beating him up.

Curious, she began walking through the crowd.

'Why is no one helping the little boy?: she thought.

Disgusted, she walked ask the young man beside her.

"Excuse me, but what...is going on?"She asked.

"Oh-, uhm, you see that kid there he stole some goods from the old man" He blushed slightly when golden eyes gazed upon him.

"Is that so.., either way one should not treat a child like that" She muttered quietly.

Quickly moving towards the man and the child, wanting to free the child.

"Oi, Old man. How much did he stole from you."

"Back off!, this isn't your damn business!!!"

Sighing, she grabbed the man by his shoulder and glared at him harshly,

" I said how much," in a cold tone.

The old man was surprised and scared "F-Fine!, 5 gold coins!"

Still glaring at him I handed him the coins "now get lost, you disgusting man".

He ran way, stumbling.

The large crowd began to depire.

I turned my gaze to the badly beaten up boy.

He was about short for his age, thin, had dark brown hair with pale skin with contrasting purple and black Bruises all over him, his dark blue eyes filled with tears from the pain and probably embarrassment.

hesitated to speak with him, but I knew I couldn't just leave him, he was injured. Sighing, I pulled out some bandaids and a few potions from my bag and approached him quietly, he flinched.

"Look kid, I'm not going to harm you, now let me treat you okay?"

He nodded slowly.

I began treating his wound.

After treating him, I looked at him

"What's your name?"

"Noah" he said quietly

"Nice to meet you, I'm Saya,Saya Aziel" I smiled.

"I'm not going to ask about the incident right now but later okay?"

"Okay, thanks for saving me from the old man"

"Right now I don't have the money to repay you -"

"Stop, don't worry about the money "

I thought ' Maybe I should make you of this kid, he looks reliable'

"Kid, I mean Noah, do you know this town well?" I ask curious to know if this boy could be useful, I did spend a good amount of money, I scractically thought to myself.

I just have to suck him dry for his information and use.

"Yes, I have lived here all my life" said Noah who nodded.

Golden eyes glowed with Joy.

"Perfect (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠`⁠)⁠。⁠*゚⁠+" I grinned widely.

"Noah, I am new to this town, so I plan on staying for a few days or maybe a week I need a guide"

"Are you willing to return the favor and become me guide?"

Noah thought 'it is the least I could do to repay her'

"Oh and I will pay you while at it"

"What-!, really?, why would you do that, you just met me???" Noah looked adorable with his blue eyes glazing and tumbling lips.(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

I patted his head gently

'What a strange kid and weirdly pathetic kid I happen to come across'

I just hummed," I think we should find a good inn, By me I mean you, my trusty Guide.(<⁠(⁠ ̄⁠︶⁠ ̄⁠)⁠>)

I smirked' what the hell have I gotten myself into?!'(⁠;⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)'
