Spontaneously without thinking long Feronica slowly turned her head back towards the heavy-pitched male voice that suddenly appeared.
'Why is there anyone here?' Feronica thought on a small road like this there was no one else but her, but it was not.
"Well...." Feronica was stunned with her eyes slightly wide open. How not? In front of him was a man with a thick beard and mustache, his hair was slightly long. At a glance, his posture was more or less the same as Joseph, his teacher at the academy.
The look on her face was astonished to see Feronica being stunned. Now the two of them just look at each other.
'How is this... What is this?' Feronica began to think. In this slightly gloomy place he met a big man with a not-so-friendly look on his face. What could happen here?
'Is he aware of the sign?!' Feronica could not resist thinking like that.
Because the sign that appears to him has the potential to make others follow him....
"What do you need, sir?" feronica asked with a slight tremble. In the end it cannot dictate the situation with his thoughts alone. Because sometimes a person's thoughts do not always lead to what actually happened.
"Ah, what are you doing here? Quickly to the main road. It's dangerous here" said the big, bearded, thick-moustached man. He seemed more commanding on Feronica.
Feronica was silent, she could not have expected regardless of how serious and resolute this great father who appeared behind her was, even so concerned about her condition being in a place like this.
He had thought that this big man with a hostile appearance would put him in a state of danger because he was aware of the mark he had on him, and then a prince suddenly appeared to save him.
'Maybe I read too many novels and comics....'
"Thank you, sir, if you'll excuse me...." Feronica lowered her body and then slightly turned around.
Feronica realized what was said by the big man who suddenly appeared true, her feelings became unpleasant right when she heard the warning earlier.
Crew....
"HM?" The big man heard something unfamiliar just before the girl he was advising left.
"Son, are you hungry?"
"Eh?" Feronica stopped her footsteps. He could not deny that the voice he had heard was indeed his own stomach.
Could it be that it was just the sound of the wind? Feronica slightly shook her head. Saying dishonest things is not his ninja path - it is his way of life.
It had been a while he was outside, and had not encountered any heavy food, so it was only natural that his stomach rang now.
"Ah it's okay sir, I'll find some food outside...." Feronica tried to answer with a convincing speech. He did not know where he could get his food for free.
'I'm not sure the money used is the same as the one in the village....' Feronica thought about this. All he knows is that every region in the world has its own recording system. Especially at this time he was sure to be far from his own hometown.
'And don't bring money either....' Feronica smiled small, indeed for stomach problems she only relied on her mother's delicious cooking and eagerly awaited by her. She could no longer enjoy her mother's cooking.
'I knew I had to get out of here and go home, no matter what. You may be worried at home....'
Feronica knew the sooner she came home the better, but this plan would not be as easy as turning the palm of the hand. He did not know anything about why he could go to a big city like this and the whereabouts of his colleagues was still a question for him.
Kruuukk....
'Is it possible that I used too much magic power earlier huh?' Feronica had used magic energy to make the presence of red marks on her disappear. But just for a minute.
Using the magic energy in excess will result in the weakness of the body and in the case of Feronica he now feels hungry and feels it must be overcome immediately.
'I may not feel it. But hunger is better than fainting here....' As a result of using magic energy to hide the strange mark on her, it could end up worse than she is now experiencing.
"Don't worry son, there's my food stall not far from here, there you can eat as much...." Finally the big man showed a slight smile, which was only visible from the gesture of his face only because it was blocked by his beard and thick mustache.
"REally?!" Feronica folded her hands together while looking with a sparkling gaze.
'This big master is a food shop owner? Great!'
Feronica could hardly believe it if she did not hear it directly from him.
"But sir, I have no money...." Feronica conveys her problem now. There's no way he could eat without paying, right? All he knows for some is that the world (not all) needs money, and includes food.
'Ho, don't worry about it. I also just saw you here for the first time. I've always been here routinely to make sure there's no delinquent hiding in this little street, and thank God there's nothing."
'ensuring reliability? What does this Master mean the bad guys who hide in the dark?' Feronica slightly sighed, it turned out that this place was prone to such unkind activities, regardless of the big city though.
"These delinquents often stay in tight quarters like this, asking for anything of value to anyone passing by and threatening them. They want to make easy money." explained the big man.
"They act a lot at night, but during the day is not uncommon. They moved around to make it hard to find...."
"But sir isn't here a guard knight or a special person guarding the security of the city? Why are there still cases like this?" Feronica was curious about this.
Why was this big city not as safe as he had thought before?
"Ah about that the story is long, but certainly does not care here the big city though, there are still certain people who do evil. The city is being watched and still not enough to dampen what its citizens are doing.
"That's it...." Feronica slightly nodded in understanding now.
"I also used to wander to this place, and finally I was able to open my own shop. We should be fellow immigrants should help, right?" Feronica could hear so friendly a voice coming out from this big man.
'I've heard, opportunities don't come twice. I don't think it's entirely true either. Maybe I can eat later in another way. But the thing is, I don't know how anything else could have happened....'
Feronica could have ignored the offer from this big man, and chose to find another way to eat. But if he refuses, then it is the same as he has troubled himself.
There was a kind person he didn't need to suspect who would help him. Why are they looking for another opportunity too?
Feronica remembers her mother's message about not trusting strangers. But if in his current position it is impossible for him to apply it, instead he needs to mingle with foreigners for his purposes as well.
Feronica could not wait for an uncertain opportunity for him to find the existence of Stephen first, was to find the existence of his partner it took a lot of energy.
Shouldn't an opportunity like this be wasted?
"Please help, sir!" Feronica lowered her body, she believed in the offer of the big man she met now. Hoping to regain the energy he had lost within himself.
