Chapter 4 - Friends - 2

Amon was the white-haired boy. 149 centimeters in height, he wore brown pants, brown shoes, and a white full-sleeve shirt. He shared Arthur's blue eyes, had a slender build, and his skin color was normal. And Amon had a friendly and amusing personality.

And Amon shared a room with a boy named Riyal, who had black hair. He also had a height of 149 cm and was dressed in brown shoes, brown pants, and a white full-sleeve shirt. Unlike Amon, he had a muscular body and black eyes. And he is a dumb and rough guy.

Then there was Steven, a 147-cm-tall boy with glasses who wore the same outfits as Riyal and Amon. Physically, he was similar to Amon, with brown eyes and hair. And he had a shy personality.

And then Riyal said, "So what should we do now?"

"Obviously, we are going to the garden, and lunchtime is about to come. If we don't complete our daily tasks, then forget about lunch too." Steven said. 

"But why garden?" Riyal asked.

And then Amon said, "Oh, come on, muscle head, don't tell me that you even forgot today's duty."

Riyal said, "Oh yeah, we need to clean the garden, and then we need to get apple baskets from the village mayor, and that's it, right?"

Amon sighed and said, "Right, so what should we do first, Steven?"

"First, let's go outside and clean the garden, And after that, we will go to the village mayor's house." Steven said.

After that, they went outside and noticed the garden. The grass there was quite tall. "I believe we should inform Nun Rose that we are unable to continue doing this. Every day, these grasses get taller, and the grass cutter blade is broken. When Riyal spoke, he had a grumpy expression on his face.

And then Steven said, "You know, we told her many times, but she refused, so just stop crying and get it over with."

"And you two, please wait here while I go get her another cutter blade. Okay?" Steven said.

Amon and Riyal nodded.

"So, muscle head, what are you going to do after we turn 15 years old?" Amon questioned Riyal as Steven was getting another blade for the cutter.

Amon inquired since the child was forced to leave the church orphanage when he turned 15 and begin looking for a new life. Indirectly, we can refer to them as adults because it was the king's decree and children also had the right to marry at that age.

And then Riyal replied, "Me, I didn't think that much, but i think i will become a mercenary."

"Well, i was stupid to ask you that type of question because someone like you who doesn't know how to use brain or just use brute force is surely qualified to become a mercenary." Amon said while laughing.

"Yeah, just shut up a bag of bones." Riyal said.

And then Amon replied, "What did you say, punk?"

"And do you want to die that badly? bones." He said that and picked up Amon's shirt collar, and then Amon said, "If you don't let go of my shirt collar, I will hit you for sure."

"Not again, you two. Every time I leave you together, you two are just ready to fight," said Steven, stepping in between them. Steven interrupted Riyal as he was about to say that Amon had started things. He said, "I know that Amon started things, but I do not have time to waste on your fight. If you have that much strength to fight, then help me cut this goddamn grass instead of fighting." His face flushed red with rage as he said that. They both put down their arguments, got out their grass clippers, and began cutting the grass after noticing his expression.

Then, a half-hour later, they cut the grass

"Yeah, we did it at last, hahaha," Riyal then said.

Steven and Amon both gave a nod.

"So all that is left to do is pick up the apple baskets, and then we are ready to rest, right, Steven?" Amon then exclaimed.

Steven responded, "Yes."

Riyal then remarked, "I think we are going to miss lunch."

Amon nodded in agreement as well.

So they both turned to look at Steven for the response. He saw their expression and knew what they were thinking, so he said, "I spoke with Nun Rose already, and she promised to save our food."

"What are we waiting for? Let us get moving, or our food will get cold." stated Riyal.

They then made their way in the direction of the mayor's residence.

Amon declared, "Let us just take a break," after 20 minutes.

"No, we can not do that; the village is almost here, so do not stop," replied Riyal.

"Just shut up and wait for 10 minutes." Amon said. "Not everyone has the same strength and stamina."
