"Well that's the end of our talk we'll be leaving you princess"
Eon stood up as he said and Reniella gave him a nod, and told him they'll see each next time, the two then exited the room just as a man with unusually large hands passed by them to enter the room.
The man was being followed by two others, Baron Philemon and Apphia, Apphia flinched just slightly as she took a glance at Eon. Something neither Reniris nor Eon noticed.
"let's go adventuring, and actually make some money"
Eon suggested.
"Are you sure? You just made the clothes we're wearing, didn't you say that took a lot of mana?"
She said, causing Eon to look her over, this time, she wasn't wearing a dress and in heels, but instead wore a red loose blouse, with jeans and black sneakers, she allowed her hair to flow down her back.
Eon on the other hand wore a simple, black t-shirt and grey pants with some simple black sandals and socks.
"I did but it's fine my mana reserves aren't that low, plus, we do need the money and I need to fight something"
He explained, as mentioned before, it was quite head scratching that no one has commented on the clothes they were wearing, even when they were in a village nobody batted an eye, did they care?
"That's fair I guess"
"By the way, we didn't talk about your fight yesterday"
He said, with a snap of his fingers at the realisation, Reniris looked at him with a raised brow before asking.
"What's there to talk about?"
"Alot, did you have any fun?"
"Not really, I didn't want to fight in the first place"
"Oh come on, you must have felt a little excited?"
Reniris simply shrugged telling him that she didn't feel anything during that little squabble of hers, if anything she regrets that she let it be an issue in the first place, her interaction with Alexander could have been handled better.
"Well you're no fun. Why didn't you kill that guy?"
He asked with a sudden confrontational tone, something that made Reniris frown a bit.
"Why would I kill him, there was no reason for me to kill him, besides I was in the wrong, since I started it"
She explained and Eon couldn't help but sigh, what she said was morally correct and he cannot say the decision she chose was wrong but he still didn't like it.
Not that he has killed anyone yet but he felt that if someone tried to kill you, then it's warranted to kill them and save yourself
"Let's say you weren't in the wrong and that guy just attacked you, wanting to kill you, would you still just knock him out or ask him to apologise?"
"I don't believe anyone would suddenly attack me for no reason, if I am being attacked it means there's a reason, I just need to figure it out and then move from there, I don't need to kill anyone nor do I want to"
Eon wanted to argue further but decided against it, he had no right to tell her what to do, although he was keenly aware that Alexander will want his revenge and will attack her again, he wondered what she will do then.
"Fair enough, sorry if I came off rude or combative"
"It's fine, I know my actions will lead to more trouble for us in future but trust that I'll handle it the best I am able to"
Both of them were aware that they'll probably have this conversation again so for now there was no need to argue about it.
"Alright"
They concluded as they exited the house and stepped outside, the sun shone brightly as they made their way to the adventurers guild.
"You should fight hand to hand more often, you'd be great at it"
"Why are you saying that?"
"I'm just saying that suplex you pulled was immaculate, I think you'd make a great fighter, plus you're fight was a little stale, you'll enjoy it more if you are involved in it more"
He said with smile on his face as he scratched his chin while recalling her fight, the look of focus on her face was certainly something to see
"My fights aren't for you to enjoy"
She lightly punched his shoulder in a fit of annoyance as she responded
"Plus that suplex thing gets my hair dirty and I only did it because it was effective"
She continued, she also wondered if that suplex was a fighting move from his world, and if the stories he told her were from his old world as well.
"Were the stories you told me about the pirates and the one about the ninjas from you old world"
"Pretty much, those two in particular were my favourites"
"Did you read them or did you watch them on the TeeVee thing you mentioned?"
"I both watched and read them, they had their own books and TV shows"
"Were there other stories as well? and were those stories in other languages too? Can you tell me about them?
Eon groaned silently, he nearly didn't sleep yesterday because she wouldn't stop badgering him with questions, she was too curious, although he supposed he would be like that too in her shoes.
"leave the questions for later, you can ask your questions all you want later, let's focus on going on an adventure right now"
"I can't help it the more you tell me the more questions I have"
"I know"
Their small journey to the guild went uninterrupted, if you didn't count the numerous stares by the citizens, it seemed Reniris has gained quite the fame, plus with her beauty it was impossible for the average man or women not to stare, something Eon didn't appreciate but chose not to make it apparent.
Both quickly arrived at the guild.
"Who's Laughing now, you bitches!!"
Eon announced bursting open the doors as he entered , causing the adventurers to avert their gazes from him.
"Oh shut up, the beautiful lady got rid of Alexander, it has nothing to do with you or your stupid claims"
A bolder adventurer piped up and responded to Eon's words.
"Yes it fucking does, if I wasn't here, she wouldn't be here and me accompanying a person as strong as her only gives credence to my claims of being the strongest man"
"Oh fuck off, you're nothing but freeloader, you can just say you're strong because another person next to you is strong"
"If you want to test me, then you're welcome to try!"
Once again, the moment they entered the guild, Eon made a fuss of things causing her to sigh. Although she will admit his confidence was something she liked, hopefully it doesn't turn into arrogance.
Seeing her partner occupied for the moment she made her way towards the reception desk, the guild master had given them their adventurer cards yesterday and today they'd be taking their first quest.
Like the guild master had promised, their rank was C, although hers specifically was CCC rank since she fought and defeated Alexander who was technically an A-rank adventurer.
However, while she was making her way to the reception desk, something happened, there was a great and big crash, the building shook violently, nearly throwing her on the ground.
In the moment it took for her to wonder, what the hell was that? Eon had already stepped outside to see what it was for himself.
