34 Tug (1/2)

Midnight at the outskirts of Crescent Town, estimatedly a day later...

After the banquet party, the trio and Mr. Sanchez went straight back home with their share of treasure and the satchels.

Only twenty-four to twenty-five days had passed since Allen left the town. The carriage stopped near the Morgan Residence.

Allen stepped out of the carriage and waved goodbye to the other two kids and Mr. Sanchez, after which, the carriage left the vicinity.

The kid was now carrying the satchel that Lord Levine gave them. The feudal lord already removed his mark from the satchel, so that the trio could fully own them. Inside the satchel was a dagger, the magical burning torch, the fur of the undead bear, his repaired assassin clothes, and other things.

When the kid finally reached the front door of the house, Allen breathe in air as to relieve his stress.

”I'm back.”, Allen muttered. However, the kid didn't enter through the front door, but climbed onto his bedroon window. When he entered his bedroom, he saw the familiar slash that was left when he practiced the (Dagger Flash) for the first time.

Allen yawned and placed his bag under his bed and lied down on it. He could now rest peacefully.

...

Next morning...

Allen stretched his joints, scratched his eyes, and sat on the bed. He walked out of his room and took a peek in William's room. There, he saw a book on the bed, but his little brother was nowhere to be seen.

”Eh? Where is he?”, Allen wondered. Suddenly, the door fully opened which made him trip into the room. In an instant, he saw a bat making way to his face.

-bam-

The bat hit his face straight and was destroyed. Actually, with his strength and agility, he could've avoided all of these separately. However, it was as if the one doing all of these calculated what would happen next.

When Allen's face hit the floor, he felt an another bat hit on the back of his head which made him dizzy.

”Haha... you thief could think about twice when you steal inside my.... wait... BIG BROTHER?!”, of course, the one behind this was none other than William.

The younger Morgan saw that Allen was still lying down onto the floor, making the former more worried.

'What should I do? I hit big brother... twice!', William tried to think of a new plan. However, he didn't get to when Allen got to look at him.

”What was that for?”, Allen angrily asked.

Seeing that it was too late, William explained, ”Well, I thought there was somebody else inside the house when I heard footsteps!”

”If it wasn't me, you could've probably killed whoever that was.”, Allen said. He was right, it's because that his body became tougher from using the (Erchian Dagger) twice, if not, his head would've bled already.

”I'm sorry.”, William immediately said.

”It's okay, just don't do it ever again!”, Allen stood up and stabilized his footing.

”You've become taller, big brother.”, William said in a bid to change the subject.

”I did?”, Allen asked.

”Yes.”

”Oh.”, Allen then thought that it was probably due to the effects of the (Erchian Dagger) after using it.

”Should we eat breakfast?”, Allen asked.

”No thanks, I've already ate, but shouldn't you go to work by now?”, William lied down on his bed and continued reading a book.

”Work...? Oh wait! I'm late!”, realizing something, Allen rushed down the house and ate the porrage in hurry. After which, he left after saying goodbye to William.

***

Three Heads Tavern...

As soon as Allen entered the tavern, the establishment was already full of people.

”Why are you late?!”, Kate angrily asked. They've opened for several hours already, yet, Allen only went in now.

”I woke up a bit late.”, Allen said.

”Just get your apron and start taking the people's orders!”, Kate snorted as she delivered a customer's food.

Allen did what Kate said and the former started to write down the orders of the people. Afterwards, he delivered it to Drake.

”So... why are you late?”, Drake asked.

”I woke up late today!”, Allen said. He went to the house at midnight, it's hard for him to wake up early if one slept at the said time.

”Alright.”, Drake nodded.

Meanwhile, Allen inwardly cried, 'It's not my fault that I'm late, it was my body's!'

Afterwards, Mr. Sanchez walked down the stairs and said, ”Kate, get me a whole chicken breast!”
