200 The Young Boy and Girl (1/2)

After getting john's suit, the group were headed to the next closest tailor where they specialised on dresses for girls

As they passed through the streets, John watched as the poor kids continued to play around with an expression of Joy on their faces

The streets were slightly clean, the commoners were forced to clean them after all, but no matter what happened, there'd always be a difference in treatment. The world was an unfair place after all. But even the poor can be happy with what they have.

”While the rich, thirst for more...” John muttered

”Hm? Did you say something?” Serena asked as she suddenly turned to him, stopping their conversation.

”Nothing at all...” John muttered as he looked outside

Hearing this, the two looked a little confused, but continued on with their girl talk. John was a bit bored and lonely, despite having no interest in girl talk, he couldn't think of anything to talk about.

John quietly watched as one of the kids, a young boy, who was playing tag with another young girl and their friends.

[Look at how happy they look... If I ever make a city or kingdom, I'd make sure everyone would be happy.] John thought to himself

Suddenly, the two kids who were playing tag with their friends, bumped into a man. He seemed to be slightly over 6 foot and appeared to be drunk.

[This carriage is moving rather slowly.]

There was another carriage in front, giving John enough time to see the whole situation. The man began talking and despite John being quite a distance away, he could hear it over the other sounds which came from food stalls, people walking and talking.

”Hey! Brats! You just got my shirt dirty... You'll have to pay for a new one!”

[What? Is this guy serious? More importantly, I'm not even using magic to increase my senses and yet I can still clearly hear them...]

The two kids in front of him were terrified, so much that they began to shake in their spots while their friends ran away as fast as they could while shouting ”Retreat!”. The guy towered over them, they looked no older than 6.

The girl moved in front of the boy with his legs trembling as she said

”S-Sorry... W-We don't have any m-money...”

They both had the look of terror in their eyes, well it was normal. Especially when the guy was releasing his bloodlust.

”No money...? Tch, guess I'll just sell you off as slaves.” Said the man as he stretched out his hands

”W-We didn't do-”

Before she could finish, the boy grabbed on to the girl's hand before pulling her away from the guy

”Run!” He shouted before the two began to run

The man who saw this formed a small grin on his face before chasing after them. They took a turn along with the man and disappeared from John's line of sight.

John got up and began doing a few stretches, seeing this, Ariel asked

”John, are you going somewhere?”

”Mhm, I'll be back soon. How much longer till we get there, Master?” John asked

”1 Minute, Be quick.” Said Master Sylvia

Hearing this, John happily nodded before hopping off the moving carriage.
