Lux of Agatha Chapter 5

"Mediation Commitee?!"

Alfa nodded. Xiaoxiao was quite embarrased at this situation. It's been long since he retired from the gladiator's community, and he was just smoking leisurely at the park, sitting on the bench. But all of a sudden one civilian and two gladiators-the most popular gladiators among the gladiators and even civilians- came. Worst of all, their weapons-very huge hammer and a long sword- were drawing all the attentions.

"Let's get inside. You two are drawing all the attentions. By the way, was it really necessary to bring your weapons? People are scaring."

"I didn't mean it. And you know I can't seperate hammer from me, Xiaoxiao. And, Caligo here is in quite dangerous situation. We are just like bodyguards."

At his word, Xiaoxiao glanced at the red stickman called Caligo. In Xiaoxiao's view, who has met lots of gladiators and won at the numerous battles, this Caligo doesn't look related to any battles. Although he is well-built, but he doesn't look like the sort of man who loves fighting. And he doesn't carry any weapon. Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Anyway, follow me."

The old man stood up and took the lead. Andre and Alfa was about to follow him when they found Caligo just standing there.

"Caligo?"

"Ah, er... is he... really a gladiators? He doesn't look like the sort of them.

Andre and Alfa exchanged a glance. Then Andre replied quietly.

"Yes. He's the legend among the legends in gladiators' world. He was really famous gladiator in his day. The reason why today's civilians don't know about him well is that at his time there wasn't any technology to take pictures of battles. But now, well... he's just a jobless old man. Anyway, let's go. He hates wating..."

Finishing their talk, three followed Xiaoxiao again. The place they arrived was a small supermarket at the edge of the park. There was no guests inside, just a cashier sitting on a counter. He was reading a newspaper, putting his feet up on the counter. Even though Xiaoxiao and three other people went inside, he didn't raise his eyes and check who came. Onlything he did was saying hello to Xiaoxiao.

"How was the cigarret that I suggested today?"

"It was disgusting. It tastes like wet rag."

"All right. You can use it now."

Xiaoxiao gestured at three puzzled looking people to get inside. Then he closed the store's door. They four went to the coner inside the store and reached to a door which is written 'cleaning tools'. And Xiaoxiao pulled a key from his pocket, put it in the hole and turned the key.

Suddenly, the floor the four are standing moved. Andre, Alfa, Caligo lost their balance and staggered at the sudden move of the floor. Xiaoxiao grabbed Caligo's arm before the red stickman fell.

"Be careful."

As soon as he finishes his word, the floor sank. No, more specifically, the spot only where they stood was sinking just like an elevator.

Three was too startled to say anything else. They hadn't even thought such thing will exsist in the store. Amused at their response, Xiaoxiao chuckled.

"Well, this is a secret base that a jobless oldman made. How does it look like?"

"...Sorry for calling you like that."

"If you are being targeted, is it okay to let the kids alone in his house? If they decided to cover this case, the kids might be in danger."

"Ah, don't need to worry about that. They're not alone. We requested Pix, Vlak, and Rol to stay with them at Caligo's house. And Bonum with them. You can trust them. Ah, Hyun's parent's said they'll come and help us."

"Hmm..."

Xiaoxiao thought that this case is more serious than he thought. Recently, as more and more accidents occur due to battles between gladiators, some opinions that the activities of gladiators must be strictly regulated have represented. But, there was no one who have died or seriously injured, their opinions had no power. Even some gladiators including Xiaoxiao thought they should control themselves, but there were some groups that rejects to make some rules to restrict gladiators.

"I also thought that we need something, some rules to control ourselves. There are some more gladiators who are thinking like me. Because until now, due to our reckless behaviors and battles, civilians have lost their faith in us. I don't want civilians consider us as a dangerous and runaway beasts. We actually tried to make a rule. A rule to register our informations and monitor each gladiators' reckless activities."

"Understood. But there's no such thing these days."

"Yes, because we failed due to objections."

"Objections? Were there any gladiators who doesn't like the rule?"

"It would be rather good, if they were gladiators. But they were not."

The old man sighed. He turned around and took a scroll from the coner. When he unfolded the scroll, three can see a world map on it.

"They are governments, who rejected it."

Author's note:

Xiaoxiao is the most famous, maybe the original one of all the stickmans. Check terkoiz's YouTube video by searching 'top stick'.

I felt quite complicated to describe gladiators situation even in Korean. There were political issues to make Xiaoxiao's plan come true.
