It's been 30minutes since I started to hunt those slimes again, well even if I say hunt. It's actually to get my revenge for beating me last time.
I was cautiously walking trying to make less sound as much as possible. and I heard someone shouting from behind me as if they're calling for my attention.
" hey! please wait! we have some questions! "
I stopped my track and turned behind to talk to them. I asked.
" w-what? um what do you want f-from me? "
The two who called me are looks familiar when I see thier face.
' uh yep, these two here are the guard who block me from entering and question me something I don't understand. But now I can finally understand them. "
As I have those thought the one angry looking guy talk first with a bit of force.
" hey you! we have question! " he pointed his pointing finger towards me. But I decided to let it pass because when I was about to raise my voice the one calm looking guard interjected.
" hey please! stop making this hard for both of us ok?.... " the angry looking guard slightly nodded his head showing that he understand what his fellow guard mean.
" hello? I think we met you before.... but I won't pry on it. but can I please ask you a question... mister adventurer? " the calm looking guard somewhat recognized my face but soon he decided not to dig any dipper in it. Instead he asked me a question politely.
" uh y-yeah you can ask me... w-what is it? " I give my permission. and the calm looking guard showed a small smile and handed me a small piece of paper with a beautiful girl drawn in it.
A golden hair, golden eyes, well-rounded face. The girl in the portrait is indeed beautiful but for me.
' this girl is cute ' yes my first impression when I see the portrait I immediately thought she's a cute one.
' unlike Reyna who have somewhat mature vibe which is perfect for her this one is like a child who's still enjoying her youth ' that's how I evaluated the portrait girl. but
" by any chance... did you see this girl? " the calm looking guard asked.
" um no I didn't " I replied honestly.
" oh ok... but if ever you see her please tell us.. here I give you this " The calm looking guard handed another paper but this time the paper a circle like drawn on it.
" this is? " I asked, asking for information of what he handed to me. and the scary looking guard reply quickly as if he expected I'm gonna asked and he's annoyed by having guessed it right.
" that's a teleportation paper, by ripping it off you're gonna teleported to our station " he said.
" o-oh ok if I see her I will report it immediately " I accept the teleportation paper happily and immediately put it on my pocket.
" well then... thank you, we'll get going then " the calm looking guard say his goodbye and start to search for that girl again.
While they're walking, I slightly heard them talking.
" hey where do you think Princess Elena at? " the scary looking guard asked.
" I don't know.... that's why we're roaming everywhere again right? because we both don't know where she's again.... sigh... just why does our Princess loved to bring trouble for us? sigghhh " the calm looking guard leave out a heavy sigh as if he's really tired.
After I heard them, I was surprised by the sudden info I got. *he unintentionally eavesdropped to them*
" Princess? " Surprised by the information I'm muttering quietly those word.
After I regain some of my senses I muttered quietly again.
" the world is so vast yet small at the same time " thus I started so search again.
================================
At the same room at the top of the Ivory Guild. Cedric, sitting in his working chair, grinning while his two eyes are closed.
Several minutes passed. He opened his eyes and said.
" that give me a bit of surprise. I thought the story are going astray from the original plot " he muttered silently and close his eyes again as if to calm himself down.
" right, just wait a little The Favored... there's someone whom he would meet first " having said it he opened his eyes again and start to take a little walk.
He looked towards the window and focused his gazed at the vast forest where adventurer accomplished their dream and also.
" adventurers who lost their lives trying to achieved the future they dreamed of "
" right. you two. Please work well together and get strong together.... the second fated ... The Partner "
Cedric sit in his chair again and started to work while showing a slight smile as if he's excited of what would come in the near future.
