Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 45 - Search
Back in the day Yuan Yi and the Black Eyes members tried to find clues to the plan that Liu Xiu had told them about.
They were only given a hint, which was Liu Xiu who had some plans, and those who were asked to do so until the next instruction came. After that there is no more.
The problem was that Liu Xiu was not there for further instructions. So, they could only do as Liu Xiu told them to.
Now, they were dispersing all over Li Tian, in search of the mark that Liu Xiu had left behind.
Liu Xiu's order was to find a place that was studded with white flour, and follow the smell of pepper that was around the place.
Since the smell of pepper would not be easy to lose, Alpha decided to let the rain subside first, as it would be difficult if they searched for it when it was raining.
Besides, it would be bad for their health. If one of them was sick, they were confident he would hinder the search, so everyone knew that maintaining their health was important at a time like this.
The others understood and agreed, although Beta was a little reluctant, because she was really worried about Liu Xiu. But he remained obedient, and sat down with the others, waiting for the rain to subside by resting while slightly chatting.
Especially Yuan Yi. She was a daughter of the Li family, so she had a very hard time finding friends. Wherever he was, he would be done specially, making him have a distance with people his age.
Therefore, he did not have any friends of his age.
Having an Alpha and Beta to talk to easily made him very happy.
Talks between them flowed easily with Liu Xiu as his topic. But still, the members of Black Eyes hid some facts about his Master.
It made the conversation light, and time also went fast.
"The rain has subsided, so we better start looking for clues" said Alpha, as she looked through the window, and saw the rain that had turned into a small drizzle.
Soon, the room became quiet. But all of them look very serious. No, they were indeed really serious, because otherwise, they thought Liu Xiu would be in danger.
"Remember, if you find a clue, you'll have to give a warning sign. Do not act alone, because it will be dangerous." remember Beta faced the whole person with a serious face.
All sign signs understand.
After which, they immediately left the inn, and dispersed throughout the city.
The Beasts exerted all their abilities to search for traces, especially Beta.
He thought it was a little strange for Liu Xiu to be in the suburbs, so he chose to search in the middle of the city, instead,
Meanwhile, Yuan Yi searched around the Guild, hoping Liu Xiu left something to the people in the Guild, but the thought of Liu Xiu telling her not to trust anyone, made her undo her intentions.
"Ahh, I don't know what I'm doing. I am even willing to do such an obscure thing" Yuan Yi said slightly complaining.
"Why did I get dragged this far?" ask Yuan Yi again.
He looked at the sky, which was still dripping rain slowly. But, the sun had already begun to be seen, emitting light, which looked dimly covered in clouds hanging in the sky.
Yuan Yi daydreamed, thinking of Liu Xiu who left her earlier.
He recalled the incident earlier, when Liu Xiu gave a few messages before running away leaving Yuan Yi who was standing by.
Yuan Yi still remembered, how she shed tears because of the message Liu Xiu left behind.
"There are some things that I have to do on my own," Liu Xiu whispered at the time.
Soon, Yuan Yi understood what Liu Xiu meant. It was a parting sentence, which Liu Xiu was going to go to somewhere that would make his unable to return any time soon.
Whereabouts? Yuan Yi did not think of a single answer. But all he knew, Liu Xiu would go to a dangerous place, and be alone.
That was why he was angry at Liu Xiu back then.
("If you remember, Liu Xiu always brought trouble for me. Why did I come to this care with him? Ughhhh... The more I think, the more strange this gets.") Yuan Yi thought, while slightly closing her watery eyes to the raindrops.
"Miss Yuan Yi!" a voice rang out, greeting Yuan Yi who had fallen silent earlier. But, Yuan Yi was now still drifting in her own daydream, not hearing it.
("Ugh... But if I could ask Grandpa for help, things would be easier! I'm confused as to what I should do now!!") yuan Yi shouted in her heart, unaware that someone was greeting her.
"Miss Yuan Yi?" asked the source of the voice a little astonished, looking at Yuan Yi who did not respond.
"Miss Yuan Yi!" now the owner of the voice patted Yuan Yi on the shoulder, leaving her shocked and excited, looking around with a strange face that questioned who was patting her shoulder.
"ah! Uh! Uhh... Who's...."
"Gee! Guild Master Shelan's. What's up?" yuan Yi asked after regaining his mind as well as composure.
The origin of the voice, Shelan looked at Yuan Yi with a puzzled look, but also shook his head.
"No, I don't seem to have any interest in you." said Shelan slowly.
"Well, we Adventurers have a tradition of partying after achieving something big. And I delayed it a little bit. And when you meet here, I'd like to invite you to the party. After all, you are also one of the success factors in this mission." said Shelan happily.
"No, I just...." Yuan Yi slightly looked away, considering that Liu Xiu would also enjoy a pest like this, after all he was also guarding the gate alone in the North.
"What's wrong? Why do you dream like that. Not even aware of my calling. What's up, Yuan Yi?" ask Shelan slowly.
If heard, Shelan did not use formal language to summon Yuan Yi.
It was because of Shelan's cheerful character, making her able to make friends with anyone. So, after meeting Yuan Yi a few times past meeting, Shelan had already tried to get along with her.
Yuan Yi did not think too much about it either, letting Shelan call with whatever she wanted.
("How is this? Do I have to tell him? But no, if I were to tell it, Shelan who had the strength as a Guild Master should be able to move the Adventurer to look for Liu Xiu.")
("But on the other hand, I have to be careful with words said Liu Xiu, who said I should not trust anyone. Uhhh! Again, he confused me!") yelled Yuan Yi in his heart.
She has a conflict with herself, where she is confused whether to tell Shelan the problem or not.
But in the end, Yuan Yi decided to tell Shelan a little.
He told me the top, which was not very deep, but already covered everything. So he did not say anything about Liu Xiu and his secret plan.
"Hummmmd. I really don't understand. From your story, I can deduce a few things, which is that you're in a pinch right now?" ask Shelan.
"..."
"Huff. You can't talk either, can you?" ask Shelan slowly.
"Then, the Guild won't interfere in any way, I see this as just a personal matter, right? Well, judging by your face, I know you're gonna get through this. So, the spirit!" shelan said cheerfully while patting Yuan Yi's shoulder.
"But, if there's anything I can do, let me know" Shelan said again before moving her hand, stretching her muscle muscles.
"I'm trying to do it myself." Yuan Yi slightly stiffened, slightly turning around.
"Yes yes. I-i know. But there was a time when he would need the Guild's help. Back then, you knew who to call and where, didn't you?" shelan asked again, raising her hand, leaving.
Yuan Yi observed Shelan's back from behind, waiting for her to disappear.
"There's a time to need the Guild's help, huh? To be honest I've been thinking of seeking help to the Guild." whispered Yuan Yi gloomily.
Feeling that standing up and talking to himself would be useless, he walked again, circled the city and walked into the surroundings of the Adventurer Guild. He also walked into a small street around the residential area, trying to find the thing that Liu Xiu had left behind.
He continued to do that, until finally a small firework rose, airing into the cloudy sky like an omen.
No, it's a sign.
