After a long journey, Ferisu finally reached the capital of the kingdom of Yelusia, the city of Urishia. A city so big with so many buildings and people looking happy, a city so alive.
"So it's the capital well, it looks like it's a really lively city" Ferisu muttered looking at the city from outside the gate.
Right now they are marching in to do some checks to get into the city. The examination went quite smoothly even though there was a slight obstacle because Ferisu's adventurer card was no longer active.
Because Ferisu had not taken a mission in the guild for so long, now he was not included in the list of adventurers. When an adventurer never takes a mission for more than a month, not even a single look at the guild. They will be declared dead or missing.
"Hmm~ I don't think I need to register anymore .. maybe." Ferisu muttered with his head lowered looking towards a card held by his hand.
No wind or rain, suddenly a girl dressed as a witch hit Ferisu quite hard.
"Yes! Awh~"
Alfred looked at the fallen girl, then extended his hand with a warm smile. "Are you okay?"
"Eh? I-iya," replied the girl grabbing Alfred's hand and got up to stand up.
The figure of the young man who had blond hair with blue eyes was like the rain of a clear sky making the girl's heart beat violently. His face looked red at Alfred's.
"What's wrong?" alfred asked in surprise while tilting his head.
"ah! No, it's nothing" the girl replied to Alfred.
It was then suddenly the sound of screaming from behind a narrow alley. "There!" There were some people running around like they were chasing something.
The girl ran and hid behind Alfred. His feet were quite trembling and his tears were coming out.
"Don't tell me, you're the one the group is pursuing?" said Ferisu in a flat tone.
The girl nodded slowly and kept hugging Alfred from behind so she did not want to let go. Seeing that, Ferisu sighed and walked towards the group.
"Good day," said Ferisu with a wry smile.
"Huh!? What do you want, boy!?" yell at the group.
"I'll give you two choices, go or"
"Bush him!" shouted someone who appeared to be the leader of the group.
The four people who were with him (men) moved forward and directly attacked Ferisu with their weapons. However, suddenly their daggers and swords flew up and fell to the floor.
"Oi, oi, I'm not done talking, you know?" said Ferisu with a cold gaze accompanied by a powerful killing aura.
At that moment there was the sound of footsteps of horses moving rapidly towards the scene of the dispute. A woman in white armor with a yellow complexion jumped up and stood in the middle (between the two groups fighting).
Highlight the woman's eyes glanced left to right, watching the two opposing groups. "Can you get rid of that kill you?" pinta the woman on Ferisu.
Ferisu closed his eyes then turned around while eliminating his killing intent and walked towards Alfred's place. Without speaking to the female knight, Ferisu immediately walked away followed by Alfred and the magical girl.
"Hey!" shouted the knight.
However, Ferisu ignored her and continued walking away feeling that troublesome things would happen if she was near the woman.
"So, why are you following us?" said Ferisu glancing towards the magical girl.
"Eh?! Ah, not actually me..."
The girl was quite scared when she saw Ferisu and immediately took refuge behind Alfred.
"It's okay, isn't it, Ferisu?" alfred said in a questioning tone.
"Huft~ alright, it seems like he is also being chased," Ferisu said as he sighed. "So, why are you being chased? In debt? Steal? Or maybe you're harassing a little kid because of your weird fetish?"
"Well! What are you saying! I don't have debt, I'm stealing, let alone a shotacon fetish!" answer the girl with a sniff.
When he saw the girl was upset, Ferisu seemed to have a small laugh. "Haha, sorry, let's go inside" he said, switching the conversation.
Alfred and the girl sat down at the table, while Ferisu went to the reception to reserve a room.
"Why are you being chased by them?" ask Alfred kindly.
"Actually, I was almost made into a slave" replied the girl quietly with a face that looked terrified.
"Slave, well," interrupted Ferisu who came to them and immediately sat down to listen to the girl's story.
At that time he was in a village where the catsith race lived. I don't know why he was put in jail when he came to the village. A girl who knows nothing about the world, even if she's dressed like a witch she can't use it.
"My name is Lucy" said the girl, introducing herself.
"My name is Alfred and this..."
"Ferisu Furuhashi" continued Ferisu.
When she heard the name, Lucy felt familiar. "Where have I heard that name?" he was trying to remember. "Ah, right! That's the name of a student who's rumored to have disappeared!" when he remembers it.
Ferisu got up and walked away from them, he went up to the second floor to his room. Alfred sat down with Lucy on the first floor and talked.
"Where are you from, Lucy?" ask Alfred.
"Eh, aaa. I come from quite a far place. That's all I can say" replied Lucy who looked a little panicked.
"Why are you being chased by slave traders?"
"That's..."
He told me the reason why he wanted to be a slave. Previously he had said he had been in prison in a village inhabited by the catsith race. The moment that a great tremor occurred from the direction above, there was a shout and the sound of swords touching each other.
Without realizing it the village was being attacked by humans. At first Lucy thought it was a knight from the kingdom who wanted to help her. However, he was also chained and dragged into a cage pulled by a carriage.
He entered the capital through underground waterways. There are so many prisons that lock up so many people of all races. There was a commotion and the door to the barricade on the train opened. Lucy did not leave the opportunity, she immediately came out of the cage and ran as hard as she could.
"That's the story," Lucy said with a moody expression.
"Slave trade, well," murmured Alfred while holding his chin, "it should be banned by this country, ah I just remembered." he recalled the Eight Eyes organization.
