Chapter 9: The meeting with Dylas

Spring - Day 20 - Year 1

Spring is passing by way too quickly. Only 10 days away and it'll be Summer in no time! For some reason I felt excited, excited to check up on the mysterious man. He's been in the clinic for two whole days, longer than Amber of one single day.

I watered my crops, brushed and fed my Buffamoo's as I collected their milk. I love milk, every single morning I drink it and it made me feel refreshed. For sure if it's very cold milk. When I was done eating my breakfast I walked outside in the town. It was raining very gently so no one was running around crazy to get out of the rain.

Talking with everyone as I usually do as I had one destination left to visit, the Tiny Bandage clinic. I knocked on the door as I was permitted to enter. Nancy was right in front of me, telling me the good news.

''I was just about to call you over'' the kind nurse said to me as my eyes were more open, asking her what happened as she beamed a smile at me.

''Your former monster man finally woke up''

I tried to calm down my excitement as Nancy guided me to the mysterious man. He had blue purple looking long hair with two long locks on the sides of his cheek. Bushy eyebrows and a red scar on his left cheek. Pitch black ears with white fluff underneath it with a thin scruffily long tail on his back. Fluff around his collarbone of his long sleeved jacket. A dark looking outfit all together that gave me shills down my spine. With his soft yet dull golden eyes he just looked at me briefly as he then looked away, staying silent. I cleared out my throat as I started to speak.

''Are you all right?''

''…I'm fine, more or less. And who are you?'' the man said as he looked a bit angry at me. He sure isn't a friendly one like Amber I see… Nancy told him that I was the one who saved him. He stayed silent for a bit longer as I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself.

''I'm Kyjana'' I beamed a gentle kind smile at him, trying to lift up the awkward aura lingering around the room.

''…Dylas'' he said bluntly with his poker face.

''Um, I'd like to ask you one thing… Why were you in the Water Ruins?'' I asked kindly as I didn't try to sound all too serious about this.

''It's none of your business'' his face turned again angry as Nancy sort of tried to lecture him. Telling him to dial down his foul attitude due to the fact that I saved him. It made both him and I fall silent, Nancy may be nice but she sure does get very seriously creepy when it comes to lecturing or maybe fighting.

''…I don't know why I was there''

''So, you lost your memory too?''

'''…Yeah …Can I go now?'' he said as the kind nurse looked concerned. Concerned about where he should live? I did hear a specific someone talking about having a spare room but I just could not remember exactly who…

Dylas left in an instant after he thanked both Nancy and Jones for taking care of him, leaving all of us at a loss for words.

''He's not one to mess around with niceties, now, is he? Definitely lives up his own pace''

I thanked both of them for taking care of him, and Amber as well from last time. Although I was worried what would become of him. With Amber it was pure luck, but will the same luck turn out for Dylas too? But I spoke too soon as I overheard the whole conversation from outside. Porcoline was, almost, trying to convince Dylas to live with him but he just could not freeload the g;gluttonous chef. He also was very surprised to face someone like him when walking out of the clinic. Porcoline offered to work for him, as a waiter. Dylas was thankful indeed as they walked off.

After a short while I tried to locate where Dylas could have gone, sure at the restaurant but he wasn't there. I asked Porcoline were he was as he told me that Dylas was fishing… Fishing huh? Well he is trying to adjust to the town and he JUST got out of the clinic. So a relaxing light activity would be the best for him.

I searched around the fishing spots of the town as I saw Dylas at the Dragon Lake, all by himself. When I walked up to him he didn't seem to notice me, he was rather talking to himself.

''Damnit, why was I there?'' he said as he reeled in two fishes. ''I can't remember a thing.. Oh well. It's best to concentrate on what's in front of me now…'' I wanted to say something as he reeled in another few pairs of fishes.

''Uhm… hi'' I said gently as he didn't even dare to look at me, only in front of him at the lake.

''What do you want?'' he gave an intimidating look as I flinched.

''H-huh? Oh… uhm…'' I never stuttered like this before, am I nervous of him? Or afraid?

''If you don't want anything, don't bug me. I don't have time for you'' all he gave me was his glare of intimidation. I still stood there, frozen in my movement as he then locked his gaze back at the lake, reeling in some more fish.

I shook my head as I walked off toward my room. The fear I felt, the frozen moment. Am I… still scared of Thunderbolt? Even though Dylas transformed from that monster that doesn't mean he's a killer… That doesn't mean anything like it! I tried to sleep a bit earlier for today, trying to forget about it. I overcame my fear… but it still kept on lingering in my head.

—

The next day I saw him again fishing at the lake, he sure likes to fish that's for sure. When trying to walk up to him he noticed my presence in an instant. Saying 'what' very rudely as I still approached him.

''M-morning…'' I felt uneasy when walking toward Dylas. No matter how many times he pushes me away I still walk up to him. I just want to give him a comfortable welcome to this town just as I did for Amber. It's the least I could do to save some trouble. But yet again he was talking to himself, trying to ignore me in the process.

''Damn… what the hell was I doing there…? No… I can't remember. I should concentrate on what's in front of me now'' the same sentence he said the other day as he reeled some fish in again. He sure is stuck in his own thoughts.

''I'm supposed to work as a waiter, huh? …Guess I should be grateful for what I can get..'' he didn't say any more as I was merely watching him fish. The silence with the water splashing from the lake put me at ease, but I wasn't at ease with Dylas and his aura. It felt lost, annoyed and stressed. Yet calm when he's alone and gone fishing - no pun intended.

Spring - Day 22 - Year 1

The day went by as Kyjana was in a sort of case with Illuminata. Something was bothering her, and it was a specific place she was staring at at the Dragon Lake. I tried to think for her but I'm not a detective, or with common sense I can't figure out what is 'missing' for her.

The whole town was talking about a new rumor, seeing strange things moving around, painted on the walls. They were assuming it could have been a ghost. Everyone seemed so scared as the princess was unable to do something about it. She let it slide for today as she just continued her stroll around the town.

Kyjana already gave a few gifts to Vishnal as he gave her something in return, a sandwich yet again. She was very happy with it. Forte gave her a monster item drop as a gift as the day went fine. But when facing Dylas the princess felt very different, he kept silently glaring at her.

''M-morning''

''What do you want?''

''Um, err, nothing I just-''

''Then don't talk to me'' the stallion said in a harsh tone toward the little princess. She walks off toward Porcoline as Dylas was done with his shift. He would probably go fishing yet again, which made the princess think. She has all the cooking licenses so she was able to buy them all, if she has the right amount of money and materials. She bought the Knife cooking tool to make some use of the fish she still had from the Fishing Frenzy contest some days back.

When Kyjana arrived at her room she started to practice a bit with the new cooking tool as it was clearly easy to use. She checked in her storage chest as she had to get a few more ore and materials just to be decently stocked up.

The princess walked through the back entrance of her farm as she was Dylas standing there. He looked at the airship, observing the town more closely it seems. Kyjana really needed to use the airship but felt nervous to walk past him. He's so harsh, for the fear she's been put through this is what she gets in return?!

Dylas felt her presence as he felt annoyed yet again, looking behind him as he locked his glaring gaze at the princess. She looked innocently back at him while smiling. All he had to say was a rough 'tsk' as he walked to the side, letting her through to use the airship.

The next day Illuminata's case continues. The princess just wanted to check up on her as the florist screamed out that someone stole some of her flower seeds. She rushed around the town trying to find the 'thief' as Kyjana just started to follow her.

Around the place of the airship Illuminata just started screaming she had the thief surrounded. Kyjana just felt a bit awkward, and extra uneasy as she felt being watched. She did rush by someone but her eyes didn't scan her surroundings well enough to know who it was. When Illuminata was off running again she turned around, seeing Dylas.

''M-morning''

''….I see you've been fishing allot. Your fishing skill is almost half decent''

''You can tell…?''

''…Kind of…'' he felt silent yet again, hoping Kyjana would just leave him be. This brought hope for the princess. Hope to be able to talk with him normally one day, and maybe become friends in the process.

The princess ran in the direction of the housing area as Illuminata was talking with the kind hearted nurse Nancy, also seeing the clumsy Xiao Pai from afar. When talking with her the clumsy girl needed her help to talk with Illuminata yet nothing worked.

A bit later Illuminata screamed out that she found out where the thief have gone. Xiao Pai told Kyjana they both had to stop her, for what reason she doesn't know but she does trust the clumsy girl. It was impossible as both of them got pushed away.

Amber was talking with Illuminata as the princess heard a slap from afar, walking up to them both of them the case got revealed. Amber stole the flower seeds and Illuminata wasn't happy with it, it made the little green haired girl cry. Xiao Pai asked Illuminata to listen to Amber's side of the story, as there should be a reason why she would do this.

The reason was simple, Amber wanted to make Illuminata happy due that there was something missing. So she wanted to simply surprised her with it. The detective hugged Amber as she started to cry a little bit, being very happy that the young girl would do something nice like this. Illuminata asked both Kyjana and Xiao Pai to go get some more flower seeds. We all helped out by planting some flower seeds at the spot where Amber planted them.

The princess was happy Amber gets along with people so easily like sunlight shining every single day. She was happy in general, despite feeling uneasy with Dylas, with everyone in town. She loves every single one of the villagers as they were so kind hearted for each other. She couldn't wait what her upcoming days would bring her.

TO BE CONTINUED
