Both Josh and Luke investigated the creature that waltz through the village and saw it chasing the same white haired boy "OH GOD WHAT IS IT WITH MONSTERS AND THAT KID?!" Josh shouted and Luke replied "beats me" and both of them finally reached a place with a perfect range between them and the giant ape, "He's searching for something" Josh told Luke and Luke crouched and moved "Where the hell are you going?" Josh whispered and Luke replied "We'll split up and regroup at the arena" and Josh whispered loudly "No way! If we do that one of us is going to get killed!" and Luke replied "Well we'll give suppressing fire each time once it chases one of us" and he hid behind cover not too far from Josh and Luke counted with his fingers 3...2...1 and Josh nodded and shouted "SUPPRESSING FIRE" and both of them opened fire at the ape

Monsterphilla arena

Sounds of tiny explosions went off witch no one ever heard in their very lives and everyone started murmuring

("What are those sounds? Is there a party over there?") ("Are they celebrating something about their goddess?")

A thousand questions slipped out of everyone's mouths,

Investigators started coming but a group of highly skilled adventurers started to join the investigators

Josh and Luke POV

"LOADING" Josh shouted and Luke open fired at the giant ape's blind spot, The giant ape turned around and chased Luke and Josh shouted "CLEAR!" and Luke shouted back "LOADING" and Josh open fired but the ape hesitated to chase Luke and Luke shouted "WE'LL REGROUP AT THE ARENA" but Josh refused and shouted back "RUN INTO NARROW PLACES IT'S BIG AND IT CAN'T FIT" and Luke shouted back "YOU DON'T SAY" and Luke ran into tiny places one after the other but eventually reached a dead end and Josh saw Luke and Josh opened fire at the ape's face but it gave Josh no attention and was about to squash Luke but luckily he dodged and Josh came down and shot the ape on the left side and the ape lost its patience and chased Josh but soon after that the white haired boy jumped out and attacked the beast and Josh ran at full speed to Luke and said "C'mon brotha! We need to get out of here!" as he pulled his right arm and ran away but Luke stopped and said "We can't leave that kid alone!" and Josh replied "If we go there we'll get killed!" but Luke replied "If we leave that kid he'll get killed! C'mon!" and Luke went back and Josh groaned and followed but as soon as they reached the area they saw a lot of people gathering in a circle cheering for someone, "Is the giant ape dead?" Said Luke and Josh replied "I think so but who killed it?" and Luke began to squeeze his way through as well as Josh and both of them saw the white haired boy and the little big breast girl, Josh surprised and said "Well done boy! What's your name?" while crouching in front of him and Luke translated ("He wants to know your name") and the white haired boy replied ("Bell") but as soon as he said that the girl that was behind him fainted in his arms and the boy burst into tears and shouted ("KAMIN-SAMA!")

An hour later she was transported to the tavern that turned out to be an inn and laid her on a bed to rest and luckily Bell treated Josh and Luke to eat and Bell taught Luke how to get money, while eating Josh asked Luke "So did he tell you how to get money?" And Luke replied "Yeah, First you go in the dungeon and kill some monsters then get the crystals from the monsters you killed and then get the heck out of there and go to this bank and trade it with the crystals, boom" and Josh replied "Do we need to have an ATM card?" and Luke replied "It's the medieval ages there are no such things as ATM cards!" and Josh laughed and said "I'm joking man I'm joking" and Luke groaned and began to drink his tea but as soon as that Bell came and sat with them with his girl and Josh joked "Hey boy that's nice girl you got there" and Bell replied ("Sorry, I don't understand anything that you say") and Luke began to chuckle and asked ("Who is that girl?") and Bell replied ("She's my goddess!") and Luke spat out his drink and whispered to Josh "He thinks she's a goddess" and both of them started laughing but as soon as Josh saw Bell's face he whispered to Luke "Dude I think he's serious" and Luke replied "Yeah I think he is" ("Ahem, My apologize but really who is she?") and Bell replied ("I'm telling you the truth she is my goddess.. Don't you have one") and Luke replied ("No, No, No I'm Muslim and he's Christian we don't believe in goddesses or demi gods or such thing") and Bell asked ("Muslim, Christian? What's that?") and Luke replied ("Well I'm Muslim and I believe in one God and he's Christian and he believes in three gods father, son and Holy ghost but my religion is my religion and your religion is your religion I don't judge") and Bell asked again ("What's with your weapons they're not even sharp or are those magic items?") and Luke replied ("That is uh… a secret") Bell nodded and went home with his goddess and Josh asked "So, Where we going next?" and Luke replied "To this bank thing and trade these crystals for money" and Josh asked another question "We don't have a place to sleep right? Couldn't we sleep at that kid's place?" And Luke went to conclusion "You know what, your actually right" and they both stared at each other for 3 seconds and ran out the door luckily Bell paid for their food and drinks and they ran out chasing Bell,

They spotted Bell and shouted his name and when they were up close to them Luke asked ("Bell, We don't have a place to sleep at night so we were thinking that we will stay at your place…can we?") and Bell replied ("Umm sorry we don't have any rooms for guest, sorry") and Luke replied ("Don't worry we'll just sleep on the floor") Bell allowed them to sleep at their place for the night but when they nearly reached their destination Hestia asked Bell ("Bell-kun are you sure you can trust these two?") Bell nodded and replied ("Well goddess it's just for one night") Hestia nodded and they finally reached their place and Josh was surprised to see the place and he said "Well, A Church…Hallelujah" and both of them entered and saw the place in ruin and Luke told Bell that they were going to sleep on the benches and Bell nodded, Both of them Laid down and stared at the ceiling and Luke asked Josh "Hey you think we can find our way home?" and Josh replied "I think we have a 50 percent chance" and Luke replied "I'll take that chance, plus it's not like anyone's waiting for us at home" Josh agreed and went to sleep and so did Luke

Tomorrow

Both of them woke up early and thanked Bell and went out with Bell who was showing the way to the bank and they finally reached their destination, Josh and Luke waved goodbye at Bell and so did he and went separate ways, and Josh asked Luke "Hey, how many Grease gun magazines do you have?" and Luke replied "I got 4 more mags I used three when fighting that giant ape thing, how about you how many does your Thompson have?" and Josh replied "I got 3 more, Well the Grease gun is a replacement for the Thompson" both of them nodded and went to a counter and Luke gave 2 small crystals and the woman gave them 200 coins and Luke thanked the woman and walked over to Josh and said "Alright we got the money and I think we need more" Josh replied "How much?" and Luke replied again "As many we can get but conserve ammo" Josh agreed and both of them went off to the dungeon

Dungeon Level 5

Josh and Luke wandered and wandered through the dungeon and finally found some monsters to kill Josh aimed his Thompson and opened fire and the monsters disappeared and Josh went up to pick the crystals up and asked Luke "Shouldn't we just call these crystals "magic stones"?" And Luke replied "Magic stone it is" but suddenly Josh saw a group of monsters approaching Luke from behind and shouted "Luke watch out!" Luke turned around and aimed his Grease gun and opened fire but the clip in his magazine ran out and Luke switched to his secondary weapon and shot those monsters at close range, soon after a long time of killing they finally exited the dungeon and got two small sacks full of magic stones and 3 item drops,

They went to the bank and traded the magic stones and the items and successfully earned 12,000 coins they went out and found Bell with a half elf girl and ran up to him and Josh told Luke "Hey Is that kid cheating on his girl?" Luke inspected the scene and said "I think so, C'mon" and both of them made their way to Bell and asked ("Hey Bell, Is that your new girlfriend?") Bell and Eina blushed red and replied ("No, No you've got it all wrong, Eina is my dungeon hunting advisor") replied Bell while he's stammering and Eina asked ("Bell-kun who are these two?") and Bell replied ("This Is Josh he is a Christian and this Luke he is a Muslim") and Eina asked again ("Christian, Muslim? What are those?) and Bell replied ("Well it's hard to explain but they will explain") Luke interrupted (" (Laughing) Bell, don't just call out our religions like that, call us Private Luke and Private Josh") Bell nodded and said ("I mean this is Private Luke and Private Josh") and Eina greeted the two (" Hello, my name is Eina nice to meet you Private Josh and Private Luke") and suddenly Josh interrupted "Please just call us Josh and Luke" Eina was confused and asked ("What language are you speaking?") and Josh groaned and Luke patted him on the back and said "I'll teach you Japanese" and Josh thanked him "Thanks man", meanwhile Luke told them that they would meet up at his place and Bell agreed

Later on the two self-proclaimed soldiers entered the Inn and sat down and while they were at it Luke taught Josh a little of Japanese and suddenly the same cat eared waitress came and asked ("Can I take your order-Nya?") and Luke asked for water and vegetables and Josh asked for water but with their so-called "Today's special" and they waited and waited and soon another waiter came, an elf girl with short blonde hair came with their order on a tray, Luke took a glance at her face and stared at her for merely 5 seconds as she walks away and Josh asked "Hey, aren't you suppose to lower your gaze or something?" and Luke replied "Don't bother me I didn't blink yet" and Josh looked at him and said "Right, Just one look" and after that Luke decided to eat but once he saw his vegetables he saw them half eaten and looked at Josh eating half of his vegetables and his today's special order, Luke sighed and ate his vegetables

They finished their lunch and paid for their food, they have 8,678 coins left but Luke was informed that they were called Valis instead of coins, but when they were about to exit the Inn Luke asked a grey haired waitress for the blond elf's name but she refused and said her goodbyes and told them to come back soon

As they were making their way to Bell's place they saw an abandoned mine and a furnace and all sorts of things perfect for a blacksmith, Both of them decided to explore the mine and they were shocked that they found all the materials they need for gunpowder, They exited the mine and decided to craft more magazines for their guns

time has passed it soon turned dark and they only managed to make 2 magazines full of bullets for the grease gun but only 1 for the Thompson, they went off to Bell's place and decided to stay there but they knew one thing, they noticed it was midnight and the way to Bell's place was extremely dark, they lit up a torch thanks for the furnace that was still lit and took steps forward into the darkness but as soon as they were walking they found themselves back in town, It was dark and only crystal's lit the streets and the two self-proclaimed soldiers wandered through the town but suddenly three men came out from the dark alleyways and looked straight into their eyes the first one said ("Why are you kids outside? It's a little late don't ya think?") the three men started to circle the two boys and the second one spoke ("There's full of dangerous people out here in the dark…like us, and oh (Chuckling) you have heard of the thieves of Hades?") and the third one spoke while sheathing his dagger ("And some live to tell the story but some…don't") the three of them chuckled and started to interrogate them to drop all of their Valis and leave but Josh refused, ("No") he spoke in Japanese and Luke was impressed and the three chuckled and began to charge at them and Luke quickly took out his grease gun and shot the first one with 3 bullets and Josh pulled out his Colt M1911, switched off the safe mode and shot two of them

Lights began to flicker and sounds of people murmuring and soon the doors began to open and children started to look through the windows, Josh and Luke ran towards the dark alleyways as fast as possible dodging the lights and finally reached a safe place to hide and rest for the night, "Dude we just killed 3 people" Luke panicked and Josh took heavy breaths and wiped his face and said "Okay we only did it for self-defense right?" Luke nodded and Josh continued "Well it's not our fault they tried to kill us first!" and Luke replied "Yeah but we killed people!" and Josh took a quick peek and he saw guards making their way through the city to only find 3 men killed with tiny holes in them and Luke asked "It's not our fault if they don't find out right?" and Josh replied "Yeah…Just like in Hitman"
