Sign of the Zodiac: Taurus
Congratulating

Bianco survived thanks to Ekhtuya's timely arrival. Even so, it's fucked up. His body was covered in wounds and his clothes were torn apart. But at least he's alive.

“How did you know I was here?” bianco asked as he looked at the chariot that was burning up. They were now in an arid field in the middle of the southern forest. Bianco's estimate is correct. The chariot driver did indeed take him out of Nuchas and intended to eliminate him in a place where there was no one.

“After hearing that you were forcibly picked up by those people, I followed your carriage. But I was a little deterred by the guards who attacked me when I was caught sneaking into their residence. After that I tried to follow in the footsteps of the horse carriage that took you away. Saying I never got to catch the coachman. Do I need to destroy the whole family?” tanya Ekhtuya looked annoyed.

Bianco chuckled. “I know you might be able to do it. But it's not necessary. Most importantly, I can still survive. Thank you for caring about me, Ekhtuya. And sorry because my attitude before has hurt you,” continued Bianco while looking at the woman in front of him.

“Well, your life is this mess. I understand why you are always suspicious of others. By the way you're fucked up. We must return immediately and take care of your wounds.”

Bianco took a deep breath hearing Ekhtuya's suggestion. “I'm afraid we can't go back to the city, Ekhtuya. Beatris hunted me. That means the whole Manolette and Belmonte family will finish me off once they see me roaming the city,”.

Ekhtuya seemed sympathetic to the state of Bianco. “So, what's your plan now?” tanyanya.

Bianco took a breath while looking up at the sky. “Entahlah. Maybe ... enjoy freedom,” he said short.

Ekhtuya stuck his fingers into Bianco's fingers, trying to entertain the young man in his own way. “Then we can enjoy it together,” he said cheerfully.

“But instead you still have to find the person in the prophecy?”

“Therefore you can help me find him. Now you have no job, so I can hire you, ‘kan from now on.”

“You've got a lot, Bian. You think I don't know how much bronze you got in your pocket? I think there's some silver and gold in there, too. You have worked dozens of years and lived very sparingly,” Ekhtuya sergeant while folding hands.

“Of course I have enough money to live. But if you're going to do someone's job, you should at least give them something. Otherwise, it's called slavery,” rebut Bianco still laughs amusedly.

“Jeez, you're really calculating. Let's just make a deal. We can work together until I find the person I'm looking for. I will protect you from any kind of threat by that big family. And you can use your money to find a place to stay in the city,” bargain Ekhtuya later.

Bianco laughed again. “Then it's not more appropriate that I hire you as a bodyguard? Well that's not a bad idea. It's just that, after you find the person you're looking for later, then leave Nuchas, I will still be crushed in their hands,” the young man said while still trying to smile.

Ekhtuya took a deep breath while thinking. “Then you can come with me later. We can travel around Luteria, then return to Giyatsa after my task is done. How?”

Bianco could not help his excitement. The shadow that he could continue with Ekhtuya felt so pleasant.

“Can I hug you?” ask Bianco then.

“We've even slept together but you still ask permission for this kind of thing?”

Bianco snorted softly and hugged the girl with gratitude. His misfortune today was gone, evaporating as Ekhtuya hugged him warmly.

“By the way your body smells burning. Let's immediately find a place to clean yourself and take care of your wounds,” Ekhtuya said later.
