The girls leave the store with three large paper bags that they make the two guys carry. Rena even insisted on buying the matching bracelets and head piece to go with Eve's outfit. Tilting her head to a side, she wonders where Rena gets all the money from.
"Don't worry, she's really rich." Elesis whispers in her ear, reading her mind.
"Elves are mostly really wealthy and everything anyway, and Rena really likes dungeon runs, too. She gets a lot of money from the dropped coins and selling items. Though at the rate she spends it, I don't get how she isn't broke yet." She adds disbelievingly while crossing her arms.
Eve looks at her curiously, not knowing what she is going on about.
"You'll know when you come with us next time." Elesis winks at her, making her feel at ease.
They walk as a group towards the quieter side of town, where their home is located.
Feita Village, Feita; 23 January 2076; 2042 hours.
Ladies beckon and call for him to enter their shops and restaurants, but he responds with a glare that sends them running for the hills. It has started to get dark, and his dynamos had taken aeons to finally track down the Nasod Queen, leading him to this hectic village full of annoyances. Hopefully this would be the right track, as they had already led him down numerous roads leading to dead ends.
He curses under his breath, knowing that he will not be able to find the Nasod Queen in this darkness. Mainly because he doesn't know what to expect, since nobody knows what she looked like then and there were no pictures. He grows irritated and hungry, not being able to recall the last time he had a solid meal.
Walking on and trying to avoid bumping into people, the throbbing in his head intensifies but is distracted when he spots three girls walking together. They are each holding a brown paper bag with what looks like fruits and bread. His eyes hover to the small one in a black and white top with matching boots and shorts. And gleaming white hair.
Ally?
He runs through a large crowd of people coming out of a restaurant and pays no mind as they curse at him. Running towards them, his tunnel vision causes quite a mess, but he cares nothing for it. Catching up to them easily, he grabs on to the small girl's shoulder.
"Ally?! It's you!" He says as she turns around, dropping her bag of fruits in shock as his hand is still on her shoulder. The first thing he sees is a faint reflection of himself in the bright blue gem rimmed with gold on her forehead. His eyes widen.
"Hey! Eve, do you know him?" The girl in white and red next to her asks, while the small one shakes her head.
Nasod. It's her. He thinks to himself as his dynamos signal loudly. Add can only stand immobile at the sight before him.
"Are you okay? You look pretty creepy, walking around with soiled clothes like that. Your hair looks like a patch of wild grass too. Are you homeless?" The blonde haired elf questions, but he doesn't answer immediately.
Holy shit, it's the Nasod Queen. It's really her. I need to get close. I have to follow her.
"Um, yes. I'm lost and alone. Do you have an extra room for me at your place? I'm broke and hungry, too." He says, trying to sound pitiful but then realising that he had just made himself sound like nothing but a toddler.
The one in red squints and puts her hand on her chin, very obviously in deep thought and wondering if he is being honest. She clearly doubts his sincerity and wonders if he has any ulterior motives. After all, he had creeped up on them and scared the smallest one.
"Sure! We have plenty of rooms in our home! You can stay with us!" The elf says merrily and she gets elbowed in the ribs.
"You mean our home. You don't even live with us. My house isn't a homeless shelter. Eve is one thing, but this guy-" She squints at Add again and looks at the short Nasod.
"What do you think, Eve?"
"I-I don't know. But I understand his loneliness.." She trails off and the red head smiles warmly.
Understood my loneliness? So she does have developed emotions. Sweet mother of-. I have to write that down. I also need to check fo-
"Okay, you can stay. But I'm telling you, if you try anything funny, I'll knock you out myself." She brings a fist in front of his face and he nods once, and she turns around just before he puts on a crooked, sinister smile.
Hi everyone! It's baconfries! I hope you're happy with the story so far, and the corny meeting x-x. I'm taking a weekend break from my (almost) daily updating, since I need to sit down and do some more planning for the story.
I have some questions that I want to answer here! Because I have no idea how to reply to guest reviews and have received a few private messages on some stuff I want to reply to D:
Q: What class is Eve?
A: I'm actually leaving that to your imagination, though I suppose most people would think it's Empress, because of Oberon and Ophelia. I really do like long flowing hair though.
Q: What class is Add?
A: Mastermind. Bam. I said it. Only because his long-ish hair is sexy (I actually prefer the Arc Tracer hair but the Mastermind suit wins).
Q: Are Eve and Add the only characters?
A: I've added the other ones in recent chapters, though I don't wanna have so many side stories.
That's it from me for now! I hope my story lives up to your standards as time goes by. The last thing I want is for my story to become crappy T^T. Happy reading, nerds!
