Level 7. New Challenge
"Ran, where're we now?" asked Kazuha.
"This should be Teitan Town," said Ran, "this's a great modern town, that we might find something useful for our journey."
"This's sure a busy town, with so many people and things here," said Kazuha, looking around curiously, but a dark hand grabbed her ponytail tightly.
"Idiot! Stop acting this way," said Heiji, "are you afraid that no one knows that you're coming from a small village."
"Idiot? You're an idiot yourself! How dare you hold my ponytail?"
"Stay calm, Kazuha," said Ran, "don't quarrel with Heiji. Ouch!" Ran was bumped by a small girl, Shinichi immediately held Ran tightly in his arms to prevent her from falling. "Are you okay?" asked Ran. The small girl fell down on the floor, and cried.
"What've you done to Ayumi?" a fat boy came and asked.
"Did she hurt you, Ayumi?" another small boy with freckles asked the girl.
"I'm okay, just little pain," said Ayumi, "it isn't her fault, I'm the one that bumped into her. Sorry!" Ayumi then looked up at Ran, "wow, you're beautiful! Are you a summoner?"
Ran blushed immediately at her comment, "that's okay, but why're you all in a rush?"
"We're in a hurry to find a treasure," said the fat boy, "we've found a treasure map."
"A treasure map!" said Kazuha in an excited voice.
"Shhhhhh!" said the boys with freckles, "keep your voice down, or you want everyone in town know it!"
Kazuha covered her mouth immediately, while Heiji looked at her scornfully.
"But there's one very difficult puzzle that we can't solve," said Ayumi, "can you help us?"
"What kind of treasure are you going after?" Hakuba asked. "How are we going to help you?"
"Treasure is treasure," said the fat boy, "maybe there're lots of delicious food waiting for me."
"Of course there're rare items," said the freckled boy, "and we need someone who knows magic to help us."
"Magic? How did you know that we know magic?" asked Shinichi curiously; "you guys aren't ordinary kids, right?"
"Of course we aren't ordinary kids," said the fat boy, "we're the magic boys at Teitan Town, and my name is Genta. I'm the leader." He then pointed to the boy with freckles, and said, "and this is Mitsuhiko. We all like magic, and we'd investigate lots of different kind of magic, white, dark or even summoning."
"And we've found this treasure map recently when troops of men in black come here," said Mitsuhiko, "So we decided to find the treasure ourselves."
"But we kind of stuck at the beginning," said Ayumi, "we need to open the door with magic!"
"That's why those men in black didn't bother to find the map again," said Shinichi, "they don't think that people could go there."
"But luckily, we found you all," said Genta, "we can work together to find the treasure."
"We can help you," said Hakuba, "but what good would this do to us? I don't think there won't be any monsters and traps there waiting for us there."
"Of course you guys will fight down all the monsters and traps there," said Mitsuhiko, "but don't you want the treasure there, we read through books and found out that hundreds of years ago, a famous warrior had come to our town, and had hide his legendary weapon here."
"A legendary weapon? Maybe this's something related to the magic stone." asked Shinichi. "Why did you tell this to us?"
"You guys aren't ordinary travellers, are you? So you all must be interested about it," said Mitsuhiko, "we can't use it, we just enjoy the process of finding the treasure."
"So you'll help us, right?" Ayumi said to Ran.
"It's not a bad idea to go with them," said Ran, "if we're lucky enough, we can find the legendary weapon, or even a magic stone."
"But we might risk our lives when we encounter those monsters," said Heiji coldly. "Maybe these kids are sent by those men in black."
"Can't you be more adventurous? And I trust these kids!" Kazuha looked at Heiji, "Cowards aren't welcome to be Ran's Guardian."
"Coward? I'm not coward," protested Heiji. "Just take good care of yourself when you get there!"
"So we all agree to go then," asked Ran.
"It's too late to go today," said Shinichi, "it's better for us to take some rest and prepare for our treasure hunt tomorrow."
"You can stay at our house," said Genta. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko were already pushing Ran and the others on their way home.
