In the end, Zelos did exactly that… Thanks to his progress, he had to wait a bit more time to recover from all the wounds, but when morning came the next day, he would be fine. Still, it looked like things wouldn’t go as planned.
Just when Zelos was about to go to bed since it was past ...
2025-01-23 18:53:56 +0000 UTC View Post“Why did you come in such a hurry? If the enemies are planning anything, it would take a while since they would need to regroup.”
“Captain Hei just asked me to pass a message: if something happens, we won’t be alone. That is the message.”
Heirina nodded while holding her chi...
2025-01-23 18:53:26 +0000 UTC View Post“We took down the other half of the riders, Captain. We should clear up the remains and regroup with everyone.”
“Yes, we should. We also should extinguish the fires of shit as well.”
Everyone’s eyes were getting red, so that they couldn’t use that anymore. In any case, the...
2025-01-23 18:52:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe place that all the kids of the town were hiding was a wine cellar… it had a large space underground and that would be completely free from the smoke as well. But the defenses there weren’t that sturdy… so it was very worrisome that the enemies managed to learn that the kids were there.<...
2025-01-23 18:52:28 +0000 UTC View PostIrlan passed some bread and milk for Zelos, and despite his words, Zelos began to chug it down like he had a hole inside him. One could almost wonder how he could eat so much… Regardless, the enemies didn’t look worried at all, and they had total faith in their plan. They lost the scouting pa...
2025-01-23 18:52:02 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing Heirina’s orders, everyone dashed to the horses… When they began to mount them, they saw the first few enemies’ horses at the top of the first hill. They saw them too and began to climb down the hill to chase them… However, as soon as they were about to teach the first base of t...
2025-01-23 18:51:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Truth be told, I am a nervous talker. I like to start conversations when some thoughts are bothering me. Besides, we aren’t talking loudly. Just keep looking around, and we will be fine. Even though it is dark, they won’t cross those hundreds of meters in a group of ten or so and escape ou...
2025-01-23 18:51:07 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, Kei decided to surrender… fighting those four guys was useless. He was bad at long and drawn out fights, and those guys were real experts. He could easily escape if he wanted, but after his face was seen, he would be hunted down. Besides, even though those guys caused the whole situ...
2025-01-23 18:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostZelos saw Irlan looking at Kaitrine with curious eyes… he could tell that he was itching to ask some questions about that, but Kaitrine was far too reserved to reveal much about her. In any case, the grass reached the neck of the horses, but at least there were no signs of obstacles there or an...
2025-01-23 18:47:05 +0000 UTC View Post“We will move out tomorrow morning and engage as soon as the enemies make their moves. However, you guys will have to stay behind. Before you complain, I am thinking about what we heard before after the mission with Elmer. So, I want you to keep an eye on the surroundings of the town and send a...
2025-01-23 18:46:39 +0000 UTC View Post“I don’t like the fact that you are avoiding my question, but that idea seems interesting…”
It was a lot of work, but the farming business was profitable when it was big enough. The old man probably had a lot of expenses monthly, which is why he didn’t live a better life. Perhaps ...
2025-01-23 18:46:14 +0000 UTC View Post“Someone teaches this kid how to relax.”
“Are you sure you want that, Captain? Don’t you feel motivated watching him?”
“... Fifty percent motivated and fifty percent annoyed.”
“Hahaha, I can understand the feeling. In my case, it is because he makes me feel like ...
2025-01-23 18:45:47 +0000 UTC View PostHeirina tried to follow what Zelos had said. It made sense, after all. She couldn’t let herself look desperate while she was doing business since that would make her lose leverage. Still, that was hard when they reached the house of Rattay, and the guards readily let them enter… he knew that ...
2025-01-23 18:44:35 +0000 UTC View Post“It will be a waste of time. It is better not to do that and then check with Dad if he received any information. That will reveal if we still can keep trusting them. At the same time, talking with them will put their positions in jeopardy.”
Irlan nodded. Kaitrine also agreed since that ...
2025-01-23 18:44:06 +0000 UTC View PostHeirina wanted to drive the vehicle as much as possible to keep her mind busy, and after those three hopped on, she began to drive it. Zelos was on the back of the wagon, keeping a close watch on their backs and for possible pursuers, but it was too soon for that.
As the group began to move...
2025-01-23 18:43:31 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey, it has been a while. You are starting to look a bit bigger and healthier than before.”
“Sorry to say, but I don’t feel good about being praised by a guy. I don’t mind having my hard work being recognized, but you don’t have to go that far.”
“Hahaha, haaaahhh… I...
2025-01-23 18:42:55 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Zelos got his money, he began counting the minutes to go on his food shopping spree, but soon, he realized that he needed to consider the future of his money… he had to make good use of it. Aside from a few weapons, food, and training gear, he needed to consider how to make his money work...
2025-01-23 18:42:24 +0000 UTC View PostZelos was too tired to care about the future… even if it was a very intermediate future that was related to him. He knew that it wasn’t the best of the attitudes, but he couldn’t help it given his exhaustion. Fortunately, Hei showed up soon enough.
“It seems that you are all fine. I...
2025-01-23 18:29:16 +0000 UTC View PostKaitrine didn’t seem convinced, but while she knew Zelos was stubborn, she knew he wasn’t insane enough to hide deadly wounds. In any case, he still asked for some water to clean his wounds since it wouldn’t be surprising for bandits to use poison or other nasty things.
Although he wa...
2025-01-23 18:28:25 +0000 UTC View PostHeirina got up while grabbing her spear wondering if she messed up by letting Zelos stay on guard duty alone… she told him not to do any training, but maybe he disobeyed her. Still, when she looked around, she found nothing aside from the darkness of the night… The others also couldn’t see ...
2025-01-23 18:28:00 +0000 UTC View Post“If you can use both of your arms like that, why don’t you try dual-wielding style?”
“I like to keep one hand free for surprises.”
Zelos stepped in again while changing the weapon from arm to arm and then swung down the wooden sword. She blocked the attack again and lowered ...
2025-01-23 18:27:30 +0000 UTC View PostZelos left the inn and then moved to the right side a few blocks where he found the blacksmith shop there with old equipment. He didn’t have much money left, so he could only buy old things… Even with that, his stomach would suffer since he would be completely broke after he spends the last f...
2025-01-23 18:26:34 +0000 UTC View PostIrlan nodded and then went to do that while Zelos kept the others busy and making sure that they were unaware of the talk. Before long, they departed and Heirina stayed silent during most of the time… she had poor acting skills. Still, thanks to that, Zelos decided to think of some solutions to...
2025-01-23 18:23:42 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as those girls could be cheeky, they didn’t want to go that far on the job. That was part of the reason Irlan and Zelos were there. In the end, while the whole group stayed on guard while the prisoner was finishing his business on the other side of a bush, nothing happened. He behaved w...
2025-01-23 18:23:13 +0000 UTC View PostZelos maintained his straight face when the woman said that while looking at him. For all intents and purposes, he was a kid, even more than the other three, so there was no point in dwelling too much on that kind of reaction.
“We are here to do our job, but I want to ask why you called f...
2025-01-23 18:22:45 +0000 UTC View PostAfter half an hour, dinner was ready. So Zelos took a break. His hands weren’t that hurt, but he still washed them and covered them with a piece of cloth for a while. It would have been better to protect his hands with some gloves and only strain his muscles, but that would be too time consumin...
2025-01-23 18:22:13 +0000 UTC View Post“My name is Irlan.”
“I am Kaitrine, but you can call me Kait, Captain.”
“Zelos.”
The tall boy introduced himself first, and then the quick girl followed with an unusual smile… she didn’t look so grumpy, which made Zelos frown. Girls are a real enigma.
“We...
