Chapter 1 - Business Day
一Year after year passed hi——
——Thud, thud, thud!——
“Get up, asshole! If you don’t I’ll beat you to death with a wooden stick! Hey, hurry up!”
He heard the violent knock on the door, Orphen visibly irritated rolled over in his bed Although this budget hotel h for him to sleep on
“I told you a long ti to ruin my plan? If you don’t come out now, I’ll kill you, you hear me?!”
Half asleep he tried to wake hihtly swollen eyelids, and stared at the stained ceiling Then he uncoht shi+nes through theand fro on the door intensified
“asshole! Are you actually refusing to come out? Do you want to die? Fine then, if you won’t come out then I’ll have to send you to hell!”
(So…who’s gonna die?)
Orphen half asleep, began to think to himself
(Me, killed by that little loudht!)
He pulled off the bedsheets, sat up and shouted
“You loudmouth!”
Orphen’s shouting reached the other side of the door, and then proceeded to scratch his own chest The noise outside the door disappeared and hit spat onto the floor, he violently grabbed the vest which lay beside the bed and put it on And lastly, he picked up the hanging necklace, it was a delicate thing with a dragon wrapped around a sword, it was like a coat of arht, Orphen put the silver dragon necklace into his hand and softly whispered to it
“He said he was going to kill me”
He made a wry smile as he put the necklace around his neck, and then a violent knock on the door rang out throughout the room
“Listen here asshole, do you think I wanted to come to this slimy place!”
Orphen ignored his cries and got out of bed, and looked at thein the corner of the roorumpy face with black hair Since he just woke up, he squinted at the ht the reflection of his eyes They had the sense of irony, outside the cries become more intense
“You bastard, do that again and I’ll run you over with a road roller! Come out now!”
Orphen looked iht hand and began chanting
Sword of Light, whom I do release!
A pure white flash instantly filled the entire rooht light and a torrent of white light hit the sturdy wooden door, creating a deafening sound The door bursted open and shattered into ait around the rooo you could tell that he led a busy life as he had scruffy black hair that seeo unwashed for days Orphen squinted his eyes to the dwarf and asked him
“I came out, what do you want?”
Covered in dust, the boy whispered
“That’s good, though in future reht?”
Orphen, with a look of satisfaction observed the hihteen years old His is about 13 ht for a dwarf He wears traditional clothing and a fur cape, and he carries a heavy sword in his scabbard Volcan still taking in the view turned around to see burnt wooden debris behind him
“Uhm, Orphen…I’ve taken the liberty to set up our next bussiness opportunity”
“I’ll be grabbing a bite to eat before I head out, wait outside the bar for me”
“Sure”
Vulcan whispered, he had a wide eyed expression on his face and then ran down the hallway in a panic Listening in, Orphen could hear hi abuse back at him He then lazily stretched himself from top to bottom
“It’s business day, but before that ——”
Orphen stretched out his right hand to the destroyed door ——
Heal that which is ht!
After he finished his chant the debris of the door began to shake, and just as if ti rewinded, all the pieces of the door flew threw the air and began to take it’s original shape It looked good as new Orphen lazily walked a few steps towards the newly reforainst it, then he muttered softly to himself
“All’s well that ends well”
Although the door was inal state, sed theently turn to doorknob Orphen never once thought he’d be staying in as a guest in a peaceful inn called “Bag up’s Inn”
The business is located deep inside the cities co looks quite old, the hotel itself is in good shape He left his roo at the bar of the inn was theowner Bagup, as grinning while cleaning a glass And his son Majic was cleaning the floor with aalike
If you live in a coastal city you are generally mistaken for a pirate, if you use this as a coant beautiful boy He has blond hair and beautiful docile eyes, and is a neatly dressed young man Orphen went towards the bar and Majic looked over and said hello
“Ah, sir Orphen, you've woken up”
Orphen has stayed at this hotel for the past two years and has becoup unceremoniously waved as Orphen approached
“Unfortunately I oken up by that loudmouth idiot”
“But I heard another loud noise”
“That wasthe door, but don’t worry, I’ve fixed it”
Orphen said, as he sat on a seat beside the bar He then told the bearded Bagup to make him breakfast
“Did so with your business plan?”
Bagup said as he flipped the switch of the used the recently installed gas stove, he then filled a pot with porridge over the fire, giving hih he has been on the rough seas you couldn’t help but notice his appearance, but his voice was gentle and he sounded like a nice guy
Orphen putting his arn
“Yes Volcan said he found a way tomoney I didn’t ask for the details”
Bag Up smiled
“Sounds like you’re not looking forward to it”
“Sort of Everytime he has some sort of plan he always makes a mess of it”
“And you’re alright with this?”
Bagup enquired
Orphen curled his lip and jokingly replied
“You knohat? That guy borrowed some money and he’s in debt to me And I’m broke so he came with a plan to pay back the money”
“So, you’re broke, eh?”
There was up said, as he poured the porridge and put out the tableware on the bar Orphen took the porridge and suddenly looked at Majic
“Hey Majic, I’ll teach you soic later if you want me to, but it’ll cost you”
”Really?”
The an to shi+ne
“Don’t be tes my boy”
Bagup said, warning his son Orphen lifted the necklace from around his neck, as he demonstrated one of his most valuable possessions
“Only black sorcerers froon pendant, this is an opportunity he can’t afford to miss”
“I don’t think Majic needs to learn Magic”
Bagup stroked his beard and spoked again
“And don’t forget that you are broke, I can’t take you seriously”
“Don’t look at me like that, didn’t you know that I was a candidate for Court sorcerer?”
“Yeah, and you were eliht?
“Not at all Besides Majic is talented —— he’s a genius just like myself…I know he can do it——”
”Really?”
”Hey, don’t take him seriously, Majic”
Bagup stroked his beard longer this tilasses
“How could a guy like you possibly be one of the thirteen candidates for Court sorcerer? If you were such a powerful sorcerer then how did you end up being a ive me your usual lip service”
Bagup finished his speech and took his son to the corner of the bar, then he stressed the fact again to Orphen
“Stop playing around with ullible boy but he won’t believe you anymore”
“Cal”
Orphen was at odds over the tone of the conversation, he then picked up the spoon and began to stir the porridge
“Magic has the talent, he just turned fourteen this year, didn’t he? All he does in this Inn is o to a decent school”
“He did go to school He went to an eley, basic ”
”I'o to a certain faic”
“Are you trying to say that he should study at the Tower of Fangs?”
“Not at all…I’ that he should learn from a certain someone”
Orphen e, as he was kinda eo of the spoon and started touching the necklace once again —— on his necklace was the coat of ars, black sorcerers receive this as to prove their identity
However, Bagup was observing his son and he looked unhappy as he e in his expression, Bagup then spoke unemotionally
“Anyway, do you think Majic has what it takes?”
Orphen then shi+fted his tone of voice
“But do you think he can become a powerful sorcerer?”
”God knows But let me remind you that this kid's mother ——”
Orphen interrupted his words
“Pure and sincere enthusiasm That’s the path to become a powerful sorcerer”
Upon instantly hearing these words, Bagup laughed out loud Though he put the glass he had in hand into the dishwashi+ng area, as to prevent hi it
“If that’s the case, then you can’t possibly be a powerful sorcerer!”
Orphen didn’t say anything, he just grunted, and continued to eat his porridge
“Are you kidding, that nasty guy!
Volcano Vulcan said in front of Bagup’s Inn as he paced back and forth, under a heavy and fierce breath
“What a showoff, he’s such an asshole!”
At the saround with an e his feet But he was just like Vulcan, a little on the short side and seelasses of all things, and a leather backpack beside the bucket Although he wasn’t like Vulcan, he did has a sh if you took one look at his backpack you’d instantly know that he doesn't pack light It may seem like a lot for a man of his stature, but he can handle it
Vulcan suddenly turned to the guy wearing glasses, looking for a response
“Well, aren’t I right?”
“Hey!”
It was clear that he wasn’t listening to Vulcan’s speech, and started back blankly
The expression on Vulcan’s face was beyond friendly
“I’ot an arrogant attitude?”
The guy putto his words, but still looked confused
“Hey, and didn’t you borrow money from him too?”
It seems both of them are brothers
“But that was…”
Vulcan just regarded this as his consent, and continued aggressively
“And that guy’s so full of himself You knohat, I think that stupid hu, he’s just scum”
(Business people aren’t usually his thing) And that’s the unspoken truth
Having said that, he’s dragged his brother into this business opportunity However, because of this, he’s been very uneasy since this—— he’s had to listen to Vulcan say countless ti money Everytiht lipped and stop talking entirely This definitely isn’t a good sign
Vulcan continued gru
“That’s good, though in future reht?”
Vulcan said,Orphen
“Oh please, he’s only two or three years older than me, and he had the nerve to act so superior than me!”
At this point, he just sounds like an annoying child
He then felt the springs winds blowing through the alleyway, and looked up into the sky
In the skies overlooking Totokanta, a few sparse clouds could be seen overhead, and it looks like they could fall at any moment
Tick, tock, tick, tock
A statue of a Goddess which doubles as a clock, ticked with anticipation as the pendulu while both parties sat opposite of one another
Sitting in an elegant and luxurious decorated living room, Orphen basically sat in despair The fireplace wasn’t on and with suet warmer, but this fireplace just seemed out of place Pure white tablecloth with fine e at eye level in front of them In a corner of the room there laid two sets of ar one another A thick scarlet carpet was sprawled across the rooht now, the couch that Orphen was sitting on had fine tree like patterns, it was probably worthfro roo such a situation, Orphen was confused, as he didn’t knohat he got himself into Now, he just wanted to leave this place, and escape from this tense situation
In fact, Orphen was dressed in for a little stuffy, took this opportunity to remove his necklace and place it into the pocket of his tuxedo Sitting beside him were Vulcan and his brother Dortin, both of which were dressed in for the entire tih from his perspective he couldn’t see Orphen’s face, but fro in anticipation, he could tell that he wasn’t in top form
“You say you are an entrepreneur, but you’re so young”
Theopposite of Vulcan said A shi+ver ran up Orphen’s back, mainly because he didn’t kno to respond, but luckily Vulcan interjected
“Yes, but are from a company in a distant land”
“A company? Then why don’t you tell us its name”
“Well, uhmyou probably wouldn’t know it anyway, since it’s based so far away”
Orphen gently put his hand to his head to restrain his headache
“I see… Anyway,Mr Orphen —— “
It took him a while to realize it was his name that they called
“Ah, yes What is it ladies?”
His head snapped up, as he spoke in a tone consistent of people froh society
The women happily smiled
“You seeet married after they’ve just met ——”
The woirl sitting beside her Re, Orphen re wo beside her was her mother, and her name was Tishtiny
Orphen set his sights upon Mariabelle, and she sh she hasn’t uttered a work yet She looked like a wholesoolden hair, yet Orphen could tell that she was older than him She looked around 22-23 years old, and was quite the beautiful lady Though Orphen was concerned about her mannerisms, for she looked kindanot smart
Orphen took that in consideration
(I can’t believe I’ this stupidMajic This is all Vulcan’s fault ——)
Orphen’s face didn’t show the raging firestor a cup of tea with Vulcan
(In short, they were sie fraud!)
Blind dates are really uncommon in Totokanta, especially for noble families They had checked out many other rich fa faed to even set this up in the first place,but he had a bad feeling about it
“Having said that ——”
Tishtiny couldn’t think of anything else to say She had been waiting for her daughter to speak to hihter to talk to hiave up and started with the hard questions
“Mr Orphen, what kind of work do you do?”
”Huh?”
Orphen was taken aback by the question, and Vulcan rose to the challenge and interjected
“Well, our co medicine!”
(That idiot ——)
Orphen didn’t have time to prepare, and Tishtiny continued the topic of conversation and asked the next question
“Ah, sleeping medicine…then what kind?”
“Well, the experts can tell you that ——”
Orphen interrupted Vulcan, and save an answer
“The medicine is sold on the open hlands, the herbs are grinded into powder and are sold in multiple varieties They are little pills that are easily sed, it’s generally called the sleeping forever medicine
“Sleeping forever medicine?”
“It sounds like poison”
“Ah……”
Tishtiny put her hand over herVulcan’s voice filled the void
“Of course not, we don’t sell that sort of thing”
Orphen didn’t expect this, he just sat there motionless
(Why sleeping pills!)
He whispered to Vulcan, as he painfully looked for an answer
(For wo pills are a necessity!)
Orphen didn’t bother to ask anyrin he put his poker face back on A faint smile appeared on Mariabelle’s face, but he didn’t want to take advantage of her as a black sorcerer, but as Mr Orphen Tishtiny harboured many doubts about this blind date, especially since she couldn’t expose the true identity of Orphen
Although the Everlasting family wasn’t nobility, in the eyes of Orphen, they were si in the coained by previous generations, Tishtiny was in charge of it And if she found out about Vulcan’s little scheme, suffice to say, she wouldn’t be happy
Orphen stared blankly at Mariabelle’s face, she had a sweet set any of the money? A smile appeared on Orphen’s face
“You’re such a terrible sorcerer, and your performance was terrible too!”
Tishtiny and Mariabelle went elsewhere in theirroom Vulcan suddenly led out a loud roar, ainst the couch Like a prisoner going to the gallows, he hung his head
“My performance was terrible?!”
