I was revived in a village at the foot of the mountain, a village's name that was torturously long to even remember. As I stood at the dirtied village centre, a couple of NPC kids in dirtied rags past me, and I swear for a moment I even thought they were extra large rodents. Feeling a little queasy, I backed up one step, as a familiar voice suddenly called out to me from the distance:"Riga!"I turned to the source of the voice, and sure enough, it was Enju."Mas-Riga!" Enju slammed me in a hug that almost made me choke. Then pulled away the next second:"What was that back there? Why didn't you tell us? Riga BAKA!" Enju puffed her cheeks at me."I am really sorry, my bad..." I scratched the back of my head."There is no need to be sorry man. You did take down the boss all by yourself." Eziel said with a casual grin, as he joined in from the side."Haha!" Sioux came out of nowhere and gave me a hard slap on my back. "You really did surprise us!" Sioux let out a boisterous laugh, as she continued to slap my back, to the point I was afraid my spine will break."That's enough Sioux, you're going to kill him again at this rate." Eziel said with a casual voice."Gomen, gomen!" Sioux stopped slapping at once, and gave one of those cute apologetic smiles.Damn that's cute...I gulped, and averted my gaze. As I already I could feel my cheeks heating up."Now that the dungeon is over, we should...""Celebrate!" Sioux cut off Eziel. "I know a place at Ayre, tomorrow night we meet each other there. How about that?" Sioux said with a plentiful smile on her face."No objection." Eziel shrugged."Whatever." Piphra said with a low voice."Hmm, if Riga wants to then..." Enju sentence drifted off as she looked to me."Oh, oh, I am ok with anything." I studdered a little."Then it's decided, tomorrow at 6:00pm we will meet here, then use the teleportation gate together to get to Ayre!" Sioux looked to everyone, and there seems to be a consensus of agreement."Oh, yeah." Eziel spoke up. "We saved your portion of the dungeon loot Riga..." Eziel voice trailed off, as he stared at me with those golden amber eyes of his, that normally drives the fan girls crazy.
"But since you ran off facing the dragon by yourself and stealing all the glory. I think the hero owes us all a drink." Eziel grinned. "What do you think everyone?"
"Really!?" Sioux eyes gleamed like a cat."Whatever." Piphra said with her usual poker face."HAI!" Enju cheered, being the most vocal of them all."So what do you say hero?" Eziel eased a smile.Well, I kind of see this coming..."Alright, alright, I know." I managed a small nervous smile.And that's why kids, you never charge a dragon yourself...Q: When you go out with friends, how would you split the bill?
