The Alternative/Overwatch
I'm Friends With Eyes

We started hunting for our second target. Naava said that from his appearance he was from the Southern Water Dynasty. I had no idea that the Water Dynasty also had another twin in the south.

We also began planning his hunt. After the lesson was over, Naava and I went to the secret room where only the officials and important people in the islands knew.

"So we moved the story room?" Plain ask.

"Yes, knowing the incident yesterday then I changed the location of the meeting to a more hidden place. In a special basement." Nishimiya answered leading the way. We arrived at a magic circle on the floor in a hidden room.

"Everyone, please stand around the magic circle." Pinta Nishimiya told us to be within the scope of the magic circle that was on the ground.

"Teleportation." Nishimiya. In an instant we reached the room we were headed to. Very fancy. Like a 5 star hotel. I didn't know that down here the higher-ups were using this room.

"Quite fancy for the basement." Naava commented.

"This room was used for the elders and the higher-ups of the kingdom to take shelter from the attack with great destruction. I also asked the Princess for permission to use it for the meeting." Nishimiya. Suddenly the waiters and maids came to prepare tables, sit-ins, warm tea, and a typical Japanese snack. They do it quickly and neatly. In 3 minutes everything is ready. Not to forget they bowed and walked back towards the hallway quietly and neatly.

"Alright, in this meeting we get to the point. After the army of silent assassins we seek out more about this man. As Naava had said, he was actually from the Southern Water Dynasty." Obviously Nishimiya offered us a paper on our second target.

"What's the motive?" Ask Naava.

"Still unknown. But for now he has not made any suspicious moves. The record of his crimes is still clean." Nishimiya.

"We'll find out when we meet him face to face." I said.

"You got a plan?" Ask Naava. From his face he seemed unsure of me.

"Yes, there's." I said to them both.

Evening began to arrive. We immediately prepare a plan. I'd venture to guess that this plan includes a crazy plan. We are also in the eastern market.

"You'll see him in person?! You're crazy, aren't you?!!" Naava said, grabbed my collar and shook me like a milkshake.

"This is the most effective way, Naava. Anyways. In his notes he was often friendly and helpful to people in the market. Isn't that weird enough?" I said gasping for shock from Naava.

"Then the only way to approach it is to use its own motive, that is, with hospitality. If we use other means it takes a long time to structure it." I clearly. Nishimiya who seemed to be pondering finally nodded. Naava could only stop hearing Nishimiya's opinion.

"So who's going to approach him?" Naava asked with a dissatisfied face. My index finger is pointing at me. Naava patted the jidat.

"If anything happens we will take action, my lord." Nishimiya.

"I appreciate that. But it doesn't seem necessary. For tonight it's enough to watch her." I said.

The next day I was given another day off by Nishimiya to be able to carry out the plan. I went early in the morning to the market. I saw her helping Grandma lift her things from the horse carriage to her trading place. I approached him too.

"Are you sure my son? No need to get this way." The grandmother said reluctantly.

"It's okay grandma. Anyway my time is very loose." Said the boy who had great difficulty lifting a sack that seemed to contain fruits.

"You two are good kids. It's a gift for you." The grandmother tried to take something out of her waist pocket.2 candies. I remember when my goddamn guardian bought me my favorite snack when I was 7 years old.

"Thank you son." The grandmother said. We both bowed respectfully. Then we parted with my grandmother.

"You're this.... How strong is it?" Ask the boy.

I could only look at him question markingly.

"You have a smaller body than me, but you can lift that heavy sack very easily with just one hand." The boy looked at me more suspiciously. Is just up to here my plan. Suddenly the boy patted me on the shoulder and smiled.

"Of my friends don't have to be so tense. You really helped me out. Thank you, yeah." Although I was quite surprised from the change in his attitude.

"Yes, you're welcome." I said with a smile.

"You want to eat? I'll make it. As a sign of gratitude." Said the boy. Actually I wanted to refuse his request but because he was so pushy then I was forced to agree. It turned out that this boy had a tent about 20 meters from the market that was inside the forest.

"Wait a minute. You sit down." He said he told me to sit on a chair made from a tree cut down. He burned two large birds that he apparently preserved in a leaf bundle.

"It." Although I was reluctant, I still accepted it. I ate it too. After we ate we started talking.

"My name is Tatsumaki Gen. You can call me Gen. What's yourname?" My toot.

From his eyes was very bright and happy.

"My name is Drago. hello." He said cheerfully.

"Seeing from where you live you don't seem to be from here." I try to pick up topics while looking for information.

Suddenly his face became the face of a sad person. I know people who are falling like this.

"Well, to be honest, I'm not from the islands. You could say I'm a bum." A person like him is impossible to act. But he could also be pretending.

"Victims?" I ask less sure. Usually people who act will react if asked again with questions about answers made-up.

"Yes. I was actually banished from my own country." Drago said, a mature brown-skinned boy with messy black hair with a few strands of red hair and dressed like a traveller.

"Oh I'm sorry." I said immediately.

"Ah, it's okay. Oh yeah besides, Gen. You're not from here either. Your face looks different from the people around you. Are you from immigrants outside the islands?" Ask. I can only say his words.

"Yes, you could say so. My parents moved to the center because of their work. I'm just bored and want to go to the market." I said. Obviously it was just a lie.

"Oh....Just deserve. I thought you were a bum like me but how could a bum like you be that clean" he said, laughing. A really good boy laughs...

It was then that I unconsciously formed a friendship rope with Drago.
