10 Towards Happiness Village (1/2)
[Later]
Solo met again with Luka and Alice, with 4 little monsters behind them.
Solo: What happened?
Luka: Oh, hey Solo, they are the bandits…
Solo looked at them with a raised eyebrow while they hid behind Luka.
Vampire: D-Don't hurt us…
Solo: *Sigh* It's ok, are you girls going to say sorry?
All 4 the girls nodded and Solo smiled, then Alice got near him and asked.
Alice: We felt an immense reiatsu, was it you?
Solo: Yep, there was a really strong girl… She called herself a Seraph, do you know what it is?
Alice: You fought against a Seraph?! Are you ok?
Solo: Yeah, she just gave me a little scratch that should be healing now.
Then he showed her the scratch at his cheek that he got from Babel, which was slowly healing.
Alice: 'First he easily beaten Granberia… Then he killed a Seraph and got only a little scratch, how stronger can he be?'
Luka: You killed a servant of Illias?! Why?!
Solo: She wanted me dead, isn't it enough of a reason?
Luka: *Sigh* Please Illias… Forgive Solo of his sins…
Alice and Solo facepalmed while the other 4 little girls were confused.
[later]
They were at Illiasburg's central plaza and the 4 kids were apologizing to everyone.
Goblin: I'm really sorry for bothering you…
Lamia: I'm so sorry…
Vampire: I'm sorry…
Dragon: So sorry…
Extras: Jeez, the bandits were little things like this?/I saw them a few times, and I thought they might be kids… I guess it was true./We have to punish the bad boss dragon…
Luka: Well… They were bad, but they apologized and promised to stop.
Extras: It seems like they're sorry, why not forgive them? They must have had it hard, too.../There were a lot of monsters in the forest 20 years ago. Once these bandits showed up, it looks like they fled./These bandits really didn't do much.
We were just scared because there was a dragon and a vampire./ Well, it's like that then. Now, you'll put in an honest day's work.
Goblin: Fa… Ok…
Vampire: Thank you… *Sniff*
Extras: Hey dragon, can you breathe fire? If you can, I'll give you a job./Hey goblin, you look pretty strong. Do you want to work in the warehouse?
Luka: Alright! Happy Ending!
Solo: Yeah yeah… Now what are we going to do?
While Luka was thinking about his question, he felt something pulling on his sleeve, and turned to see the dragon.
Dragon: You helped me so much… Let me give you this.
Then she handed Luka a beautiful red gem, and Solo sensed a pretty big power in it.
Luka: What is this?
Dragon: Some rich people saw me by the hideout and ran away. This gem dropped out of their luggage. I think it's a really valuable treasure.
Luka: I see… But, is it alright to give me something so valuable?... Ah, that's it… If I find the owner while I travel, I'll give it back to him.
Solo: Stop behaving like this, she gave it to you and now it's yours, maybe the owner isn't even in this continent.
Luka: ...you are right…
Alice: ...That thing is in such a place… It's too dangerous, I don't want a human to misuse it… Oh well, the blue and silver aren't here, so I guess there's no issue.
Solo raised an eyebrow while Luka asked curiously.
Luka: Eh? Alice, do you know what this thing is?
Alice: Of course. Who do you think I am?
Solo: Maybe you can explain..?
Alice: It's better not saying anything now…
