MERCIA
87. Beautiful Ghost.

"Crazy.. Proxima was really broad, half a day I still haven't found the direction Nyx gave me" August said, washing his face and walking up to an apple tree, pluck a large red apple and sit under the tree.

August cleaned the apple with his shirt.he ate the apple, but August had not had time to bite it, someone threw a pebble and hit the apple in August's hand.The apple was thrown into the rock, hit the stone, when August's hands were numb, he looked to the right where the pebble was coming from, August was surprised to see a woman sitting on a boulder about five meters away.

'How did this woman suddenly get here? I didn't feel his presence before.'

"Why are you daydreaming? are you fascinated by my beauty? hahaa."

August observed the woman, her clothes were very vulgar, the woman was a blonde waist-length, her clothes were without a black breastplate, her neck was a necklace with a pentagram pendulum, his chest was big enough to look poking, he was wearing a mini skirt that was also black.

"I didn't see you or hear you coming, are you the ghost of this apple tree?"

"Hahaha.. klo right I'm the ghost waiting for this tree what do you want?"

"If you're really a ghost, you're the most beautiful ghost I've ever met."

"I'm sorry, I've plucked the apple without permission, I'm starving, please don't kill me" August said.

"if you eat that apple you'll die."

"Huh..dead?"

"The apple is poisonous, Look!" said the woman pointed behind August.

August turned his body upside down, he was astonished that the apple hitting the rock had made it look like it was melting. August ran straight to the river.

"Hey where are you going?" ask the woman.

"Washing my hands, I've held the apple."

"Haha."

What August was doing was just pretending, after observing the woman, he was already on his guard, he thought the woman must be very strong, her appearance undetected by August was enough for him as proof, he said, until he found out whether he was fighting or not he would pretend to be an ordinary person.After washing his hands he then went back to the woman.

"You're such a fool, only a red apple has poison."

"I'm sorry, I really don't know, in my place there's no apple tree."

"Where are you from?"

"I live in Royan."

"I never heard it."

"that's. emm"

"You lied, huh? hahaa."

"no. I'm not lying. I live in the woods around a giant tree."

"So you're a forest man." hahaha."

August just shook his head.

"What's your name?"

'this woman is very suspicious, her aura is like wanting to kill.' August thought

"Augusts."

"A bad name deserves to make you look stupid."

'this woman loves to mock' August thought.

"May I know who you are?"

"If I tell you my name, you'll be scared."

"You still want to know?"

"of course."

"My name is Zelda." then looked intently at August's expression.he was astonished, he found no expression of fear in August.

"Your name is so good, so nice to meet you?" August extended his hand.

"what are you doing?" Zelda looked confused.

"Shake hands, because we're acquainted, you give me your hand."

Zelda stretched out her hand, August shook it and shook it.

"Zelda, nice to meet you."

"You happy? you're not afraid of me?"

"what am I afraid of you for?"

"So you dare to fight me?" Zelda slammed her palm against August's chest.

August did not expect to suddenly get an attack, his body bounced back a few meters. he rubbed his chest, blood came out of his mouth. 'his strength is immense.' August thought.

"Why did you hit me?"

"Because you challenged me!"

"i'm not challenging you."

"you said you weren't afraid of me, that means you dared to challenge me."

"I'm not afraid of you because you're a good person, you saved my life from that poisoned apple, and we've gotten acquainted, which means we're friends."

"Friends?"

"yes friend. don't you have any friends?"

"i never had any friends."

"Now you have one."

"i don't need friends" Zelda said, then suddenly disappeared from August's sight.

crutches..

"Ah.. my stomach, I must find a restaurant immediately." August is gone.

about half an hour August saw a city, he then went down a little far from the city gate, he walked into the city that looks quite crowded with all his activities. August looked to his right and left, looking for a place to eat, he smiled when he saw a signpost stall that read 'Warteg' he then rushed into the place.

August opened the door, two beautiful women greeted him.

"Good day handsome, welcome to our place, what do you want to find?"

"I want to eat a lot."

One of the women clapped her hands twice, the other three women immediately approached.

"His handsome gentlemen they are the new girls in our place, I can guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Glug.

"I just want to eat."

"Sugly master I don't understand what you mean."

"My stomach is hungry, I want to buy food."

"HUHHH..! Are you crazy, are you blind not reading our signpost? Bruma's driving this fool away."

A big body like the rock actor immediately pulled August's robe towards the exit and pushed him to make August fall.

'so rough.' August got up but he was astonished to see a large signpost in front of him.

'Warteg' friendly women skilled energetic and agile in guaranteed satisfaction, book two discounts ten percent.

"Huh.why is this?" August felt embarrassed, the people around him saw the incident sneering with a disgusted expression.

'What dream did I have last night.' suddenly seen some people running.

"Quickly we get out of here, the demonic woman has returned."

now everyone's eyes were looking at the three people with confused looks.

'Demon woman?'

Brakk...

Someone was thrown into the middle of the street from a building.The person's face looked violent.

"BASTARDS.I'll kill you, demon girl" said the man, he pulled out his sword he ran back into the building.

But just a step a red light hit his body.

wusses.. Duars..

The man's body exploded and shattered, leaving only his two legs.People instantly frantically ran about.The merchants simultaneously closed their stalls.The atmosphere of the bustling city in an instant became silent, silent, only August was still standing by the side of the road.

"Nobody get out of here."

faintly heard in August's ear the sound of a woman shouting from inside the building. August was curious he then walked into the building, he saw the building sign 'House of Blessed Eating Jaya"

'This is a restaurant what is a matrial store? do not have a nail grilled or brick fried cement topping.'

August enters the place, all eyes look at him, August looks at them like fear.

Brakk..

A woman hit the table. "where's my food?"

Some waiters brought food and put it on the woman's table.

"Hey waitress.all of them will pay for this meal, if anyone refuses I will kill him.You understand?"

"me. me. understood no. na"

"I will pay him, and bring me also as he ordered" August said, sitting before the woman.

the waiter nodded and immediately rushed away.

"You..!"

"We're seeing a beautiful ghost again."

"Hey, if you're done eating and paying for it you can leave, you don't have to pay for this woman's order" August said.

They immediately paid and rushed away, not a few of them who paid more.

"Why are you following me?" ask Zelda.

"i didn't follow you, you came and disappeared like a ghost, maybe you're really a ghost, but I was confused. Why do ghosts eat so much?"

Zelda tried to hold back her laughter, but August caught a glimpse of a faint smile at the corner of her lips.

"Why are you here?" ask Zelda.

"Whether you forget I'm starving, I don't know which fruit is poisonous or not, I'd like to ask but you're gone."

"You don't have to pay for my food, let them pay for it."

"You are still my friend even if you say otherwise, I owe you my life, buying you food may not be enough to pay my debt, but as a friend I can share and treat you."

"Which service did he order?" shout Zelda.

"Patience, no need to scream."

"Don't teach me, you wanna fate like the man out there?"

"Why did you kill him?"

"He teases me, he's more stupid than you."

August shook his head.At the time the food was ordered, August helped the waitress pick up the food in the tray and moved it to the table. August was shocked when he saw the bracelet on his left hand lit up brightly.
