"Woah— the structures look so cool!"
Kim shouted out in excitement.
"Well, the country is the 3rd most advanced in the world."
Kim's eyes lit up.
"I can't believe it! Only 3rd?"
"I can't wait to see the 2nd and 1st countries!"
"Woah, calm down there Kim."
"Take a deep breath for a bit."
Vas Allen said to Kim happily for his optimistic reaction.
Kim looks at Vas Allen all happily, "But I am calm!! This is so cool, I'd never seen anything like this before!"
Vas Allen chuckled .
"Before we do anything Kim, do you have any money?"
"I forgot every fantasy has its currency" Kim remembered.
"Uhh… it got robbed by the gremblings that kidnapped us."
Kim then pushed the question back to Vas Allen.
"What about you?"
Vas Allen said, "It also got stolen by the gremblings…" he double down the news by saying, "It probably also got burnt to ash by the fire spells…"
Kim stares at Vas Allen.
"Vas… YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WE'RE BROKE?!?!?!"
Kim yelled loud enough for the citizens of Andra to hear.
Some of the citizens block their children's ears and others walk away in embarrassment for Kim.
"Shhh… lower your voices." Vas Allen told Kim in a whisper voice.
"Oops… sorry."
"So what do we do?" Kim said in a whisper voice.
"Well we could find a job to do" Vas Allen suggested.
"Yea… you're right-"
A large speaker started speaking.
[ Good morning everyone and I wish you guys a good day today. ]
[We have a special guest with us today, Filo Noa if you could so much as to introduce yourself. ]
[ Hello everyone, my name is Filo Noa, I run a small business that's able to make you feel like you're able to use magic. ]
Magic? I can use magic?
[ I don't mean you using magic but more so of how. The magic are trapped into a device where then you can cast out magic, sadly it's not as strong as the original magic but it is still magic nevertheless. ]
Kim looks at Vas Allen, his eye glows in excitement.
"No, we don't got any money to buy it"
"But just imagine! Me being able to use magic!"
"You're not even using real magic, it's just a device that trapped magic into it!"
[ If you want to know more about it, please head down to my shop that's around •••••. ]
[ Why thank you Filo Noa for being a part of today's announcement, and that will be all folks, I wish you all a very good day. ]
The speaker then shuts off. Vas Allen stares at Kim blankly, seeing that Kim eye was light up, "Again, we don't got any money to buy it"
"Plus it is a waste, you got me here."
Kim's smile turned to a frown.
"…You're boring" he mutter.
Vas Allen hearing this, "Ok then, tell me how are you going to get the money on your own?"
Kim stands still, not saying a word. He then looks at the center of the main road and think for a moments.
He looks back at Vas Allen and stare at him with a huge grin on his face. While looking at Vas Allen, he walks toward the center of the crowd.
He held in his breath and shouted out, "DOES ANYONE HAVE A JOB FOR ME?!?!?! IM BROKE AND I HAVE NO MONEY!!!!!"
Vas Allen surprised by thi hid his face in embarrassment acting like he don't know Kim, the man that's screaming in the center of Andra was now just a stranger to him
The people that were at the center stared at Kim, some sped up their pace of walking to get away from him, and some of the people laughed at him.
Kim just realized what he just did…
He thought this would be a funny bit. He compared himself to the main characters of the novels he read, always wanting to do something like this.
"This isn't a novel… This is my social life!" thought Kim.
I mean I succeeded… right? But do I want to succeed like this…
He tries to hide his face in embarrassment, people could see how red his face has gotten.
Kim looked at Vas Allen but Vas Allen didn't look back at him.
Vas Allen looks away from Kim's stare.
Kim started walking toward Vas Allen.
Vas Allen started walking away from Kim as if he didn't want anything to do with this man.
Vas Allen started running!
Kim following behind him trying to catch up with him but before he could. He bumped into a little girl.
"Ow- Sorry ki-."
The little girl got up, picked up her stolen stuff, and ran off.
"WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING NEXT TIME!!!" The girl yelled out at Kim. The girl's voice echoes off in the distance.
"Dumb little kid." Kim said as he got up, rubbing the dust off his pant.
"Hey! Why didn't you stop that little girl?" Kim looked up to see a shopkeeper yelling at him.
"She was just in your reach!!!"
Kim look around to see who the shopkeeper was talking to, "Uhh… are you talking to me?"
"WHO DO YOU THINK I'M TALKING TO? YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE HERE!!!" The sudden yelling from the shopkeeper
caught Kim off guard.
"That's loud… Sorry sir but I didn't know she was stealing from you." Trying to calm down the situation .
"Didn't you hear me shouting out that she stole from me?"
"No sir.." Kim look at him with a blank expression.
"Dammit, young kids and their bad hearing nowadays." The shopkeeper walks away in anger.
"Why is it always me that gets into weird interaction?" I muttered under my breath not knowing the situation I'm was about to face, I look around the crowded street of Andra…
"Wait... Where Vas go?" Kim stared out at the crowed road looking for a reminiscent of Vas Allen.
"Am I- Am I lost?" Kim asked himself just like how a little child gets lost in a mall.
"I don't know where I am!"
Kim thinks that he should ask the resident where he was but he suddenly remember that he not a good talker…
I dont really want to talk to anyone… I might be wasting their time by asking dumb questions…
Kim decided to sit on the sidewalk watching as the residents of Andra passed by him, some were glancing at him but they moved along.
"Uhm.. Are you ok sir?" Kim heard a soft female voice called out to him. He looks at the girl. Kim stares up and down at the girl not in a creepy way, but in a way that admires one looks.
"She-.. is beautiful!"
Her blond hair, it's wavy like the ocean waves, her eyes glow light green, she got that clumsy look, her clothes look so aesthetic, her face look so pure and cute and, and-.
Kim slaps himself. Seeing this, the girl gives out a shocked reaction.
"I need to stop admiring her…" Kim thought, "Uh.. Y-y-yeah! I'm ok!" he said while stuttering.
"Damn, I don't know how to talk to girls…" Kim thought. Kim just realized how much of a loser he was, he don't know how to start and hold a conversation with a girl.
Awkward silence rises between them, after a while of straight silence, the girl broke the silence and said, "You're really funny sir! Are you a mimic?" The girl said in a sweet voice.
Kim's face turned all red
"W-well madam no, I'm not a mimic but I do try to make people laugh" He continued to stutter his words.
Kim really started to see how awkward he really was.
"Hehe, I can see that, so uhm why are you sitting on the sidewalk of the road?" The girl asked Kim.
"Oh uh, w-was I not supposed to?" Kim scared about what her next response going to be.
"Oh no, I just wanted to know, it just looks like you were in trouble and need of help!"
Kim didn't want to admit to the pretty girl that he was lost so he made up an lie…
"Oh, I'm just waiting for my friend."
I'm not really lying… I'm AM waiting for a friend to find me or for me to find him
"Oh really? Sorry for bothering you then."
"Oh no, uh no worries!" Kim said trying to reassure the girl.
The girl stare at Kim for a while interested in him, "So sir, can I get your name?"
"M-m-my name?"
"Yes, your name!"
"K-Kim!" He says in a quick response .
The girl seemed confused. Kim didn't give the girl her last name that's why she was confused, "Kim..?"
"Oh uh, I forgot my last name. my full name is Kim— Mugen…"
"Kim Mugen?"
"Yeah! Kim Mugen… but you can just.. call... me Kim!"
"Kim, are you sure? I thought Mugen sound pretty cute!"
Kim blushes, "Uhh… I prefer Kim" he said in an flattering voice.
"Oh ok then let's reintroduce ourselves!" The girl said with a cheerful smile, "Hi Kim!"
But Kim stared at the girl, waiting for her to introduce herself. The girl realizing this apologized.
"Oh- oh! I'm sorry… I forgot to introduce myself!"
"No worries" Kim reassured the girl.
"I am Filo Noa and I'm going to be a great inventor one day!"
"Inventor huh..?"
"W-W-wait. FILO NOA!?!??"
Kim was surprised by her introduction.
"You mean ,THE FILO NOA?! The one from the speaker?!"
Filo Noa face lit up, happy to see that someone recognized her from the speaker.
"Yep! That was me, Filo Noa!" She says in an excited voice while chuckling.
