The chaotic world
Chapter 1
Azumano is a small town far off in the Hikari Kingdom. People here live a modest lifestyle in small brick houses. In one of those houses, there is a 14 -years old boy who live alone with his grandpa . The boy has the most innocent features with round face, big eyes and spiky hair. His name is Daisuke. He doesn' t have a first name, his grandpa told him so. Thought Daisuke never questions it as it' s a common thing in the town he lives in.
Daisuke has been worrying lately. His grandpa has been ill for a week and the harvest have just ended, which mean he is out of work. Not that there are much work for a child to do anyways.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Daisuke get up from his seat beside his grandpa' s bed and go to get it. The door open reveals two brown haired girl with identical face. One of the girls has long hair and the other has short. They are the Hadara twin who life next door. Risa, the long haired girl is carrying a basket with a pot inside. She said smiling:
"Hi Daisuke-kun, we heard that Daiki-san is sick so we brought here some homemade food to help him get better !"
Daisuke look at the pot skeptically . He knew full well how awful Risa' s cooking is and he doubt his grandpa would get better eating her food. As if could read his mind, the short haired girl cut in: " Don' t worry, it was my mom who cooked it, its not like I would let Risa go and poison your grandpa !"
"Hey Riku, what was that about!"
"I'm just telling the truth!" The short haired girl who now we know as Riku stated.
Daisuke, wanting to stop the two from arguing any further , smiled and said politely: "Thank you Harada-san , its so kind of you to do this, please deliver my thanks to your family"
Risa handed the basket to Daisuke who gladly took it. Its no good refusing free food (as long as they are edible ), especially in his current state. Of cause, he still keep it in mind that he will have to find a way to return the favor in the future. "See you later Daisuke, I hope your grandpa will get well soon". The girls said as they turned to leave. Daisuke said thanks one last time and turned back to the house. His grandpa is still sleeping soundly on his bed. Daisuke placed the food basket on the side table and started to think.
His grandpa is sick. They are out of money and food, and there are no work for him to do. And the herbs to make potion for his grandpa is running out pretty fast. Well he will have to ask Freedert about that first.
Carefully not to weak his grandpa up, Daisuke got out of the house and head to Freedet's residence . Freedet is the wife of Eliot, who is the head of Azumano town. Just like the head of any other towns, Eliot is not human. Thought which race he is Daisuke cant be sure because the man looked just like human, and he don't really care either. Of all he know, both Eliot and his wife are kind and are well respected by the whole town.
Freedert is the only doctor in this small town. She help everyone with open arms and never ask for anything in return. Daisuke brought his grandpa to her before. She said that he just got a cold and become weak because of age. She gave him some herbs to help his grandpa recovery faster and those herb had eventually ran out.
It was sunny outside. Daisuke reached back to get the straw hat which was hanging loosely on the back of his neck and put it on to cover his brown spiky hair.
Brown is not his real hair color. His real hair and eyes color is red. But his grandpa had him dyed his hair and worn a pair of grayish glasses to hide the true color. The dye can be easily washed and he have to re-dye his hair after a bath. Daisuke once asked his grandpa why he have to do all that. His grandpa told him that the red color on hair and eye are abnormal. They can attract both mortals and immortals and that's also why his mom got killed by monster and his dad died trying to save her. Daisuke didnt know much about his family past as his parent died when he was one and his grandpa refused to tell him much. It's a touchy subject to his grandpa and Daisuke didnt want to bring it up.
Get out of his own musing, Daisuke see that Freedet's residence has come to his view. Its a brick mansion, three or four time bigger than a normal house with a small garden around it. Daisuke knocked on the door twice. A minute later, Freedert, a beautiful blond haired woman, opened the door and invited him in.
"Good morning Daisuke, how was your grandpa doing?"
Daisuke hesitantly started "Uhm, hi Freedert-san .Thank to your help, my grandpa has gotten better, but the herbs you gave me are all used up. I was wondering if you have some more.."
"oh.." Freedert stopped a little and continue "Im sorry but I don't have more stored either . I was thinking of sending Eliot to collect some more for me but he's currently having work in another town"
"Uhm, Freedert- san, can you describe how the plant looked like and tell me where to get it? I will try to get some myself." And collect some forest food for my grandpa – Daisuke silently added to himself.
Freedert stay quiet in a moment and then started hesitantly "Okay, I can tell you, but I dont think its safe for a child like you to go alone."
Daisuke gulped "Why? Is there something dangerous in there?"
"No.. Its pretty much safe, there are only harmless animals...The only problem is that place is near the Lord's mansion and garden, which is not a place commoner should enter."
