The next day, the four of them walked away through the back gate of the city, before leaving they bought some fresh fish and seasoning to store in the item box as their rations during the trip. After exiting the gate, Seiji again opened his map and looked at the direction of the village they were going to. They walked towards the direction that Seiji was pointing at. After a long walk,
“Sei-niichan..there are following us..” Reiko.
“Iya I know...already since yesterday..” Seiji.
“Liet me, they are harmless.I don't feel any intention from them.” Hitoshi.
“You want me to finish ?” Ask Iroha.
“No need...later..” Answer Seiji.
The four of them walked as usual, two hooded people following them from a distance behind them. After it was late in the evening, the four arrived at a very quiet village, there were only a few elderly residents living inside. The four of them entered to find a place to spend the night, they met a grandfather who was sitting in front of his house,
“Excuse me jiisan (grandfather), what in this village there is lodging ?” Ask Seiji.
“There used to be, but the owner has taken refuge in Vestal, here are many empty houses, just use one, you are adventurers right..for a long time no adventurers stopped by here.” Grandfather.
“Oh we actually want to dungeon..” Seiji.
“So yes, you guys just use one of the empty houses here if not for long, but sorry, we villagers can not entertain you..and after the night do not leave the house yes.” Said the grandfather.
“Indeed why jiisan ?” Ask Hitoshi.
“When this village is covered in fog, many dead people walk the road, if you are caught, you will be one of them.” Answer grandpa.
“Hmm...I really got curious huh..” Reply Iroha.
“What do you say..” Reiko began to fear.
“You want to eat first, just go in first.” Grandfather.
“No need cake, we walk first..we use one of the empty houses.” Reply Seiji.
After the fourth step into the village, right as the grandfather said, there are only a few villagers, visible from the empty and abandoned house in every corner of the village, there are only a few houses that look there is light inside and there are residents. The four of them entered into a house building that said inn in front of him, once entered, inside it was already messy and completely abandoned, the room that previously seemed like a restaurant, and the, now only the pile of tables and chairs were destroyed. The four of them went inside and used the pile of tables as a means of making a bonfire.
The bonfire was already lit, they instantly roasted the fish they had bought from the city of Vestal and seasoned it. It was dark, Seiji looked out, as Grandfather said, the fog began to fall and envelop the village, the atmosphere became a little gripping like in a horror film. Seiji again sat down next to Reiko who immediately clasped his hands. After the fish matures, the four eat voraciously, arrive, “Kyaaaaaaaaa.” There was the sound of a girl screaming outside. The four of them put their fish and stood up, then they ran out. Outside there are two people who are being surrounded by the undead who have half a skull and bloody blood, plus the skull of his life. A hooded man in a veil is seen trying to protect a hooded girl behind him with his thin and long sword like fencing.
“Zo..zombie ?” Ask Reiko.
“Yup...as in movie..” Answer Seiji casually.
“Hmmm visual effect is good yes, until it smells wuiih..” Hitoshi said as he closed his nose.
“It's cool..I'm a horror fan.” Iroha.
“Then, we help them ga ? they're the ones following us.” Hitoshi.
“Please, pity too..” Reply Seiji.
The four of them walked forward, the entire undead and the skull that covered the two people immediately stepped aside and left. The four of them stood in front of the two hooded people who looked confused.
“It's safe, why are you guys following us ?” Ask Seiji.
“Oh...knowledge yes..” Answer the hooded girl.
“Yes, actually we already know since at the inn last night.” Added Reiko.
“So you want what..it is impossible to follow without her.” Hitoshi.
“Or want to be like them ?” Iroha asked as she pointed at the undead who were walking away.
“Please don't kill us, we have no malicious intent..” The man opened his veil.
The four recognized the man, for it was Albert who was behind Floren who opened the curtains of their carriage while on the bridge.
“Hooo..you apparently, then the one behind it, the princess who said we do kind of things to the sea monsters on the bridge yes.” Seiji.
“True, my name is Florencia, please do not forget...” Floren walked forward and opened his veil.
“Aren't you going to the southern continent ? why follow us ?” Ask Seiji.
“Because you guys are interesting, just look, the monsters immediately got away, meaning the dragon snake on the bridge also left because it saw you guys right.” Answer Floren.
“Then...there need what ?” Ask Hitoshi.
“I need your help...” Answer Floren.
“Not interested..ayo Sei-niichan..” Reiko pulled Seiji's arm walking towards the inn.
“Iya, lazy..ayo Hito-nii Iroha pulled Hitoshi's arm and took him away.
“Wait...hei..wait said.” Shouted Floren.
Finally they all went back into the abandoned inn. The four sat back around the campfire, while Floren and Albert stood at the door.
“Hey, we just let them go ?” Hitoshi asked in a whisper.
“Just leave it alone, they are wrong themselves, who told to follow us.” Reiko whispered softly.
“Hmm at least we listen first what they want..” Seiji.
“Ih...Seiji-niichan is really soft.” Iroha.
Finally Seiji stood up to Floren and Albert who were standing at the entrance of the room.
“Hei polite yes same ojousama..” Tegur Albert's.
“Hee...you expect an adventurer to have courtesy..alright, it's up to you.” Seiji turned around.
“Wait, forgive Albert, let's go there together.” Floren.
“Ojousama Shouted Albert.
“Nothing what Albert, they have helped us, after all we are also the wrong to follow them.” Floren.
“Wah ojousama understands apparently, listen to Albert..” Reply Seiji mocked.
Albert's face became furious but he did not dare to make a sound, eventually the two joined Seiji, Reiko, Iroha and Hitoshi around the bonfire. Hitoshi gave Floren and Albert two fish to bake them. Albert took it and he immediately roasted it next to the bonfire,
“So, ask please what ?” Ask Seiji.
“Oh you guys want to listen ?” Ask Floren.
“Depending, we also have a business about it.” Hitoshi.
“At least listen to it first, true not Seiji-niichan..” Reply Iroha.
“Huh..” Reiko muttered.
“Alright, I'll say.”
Floren began to tell me, if he was looking for his sister, he heard from a student of the academy that his sister was attending the academy of the emerald city in the southern continent. After hearing the news, Floren asked his father to transfer him to the emerald academy and he was on his way there when he met Seiji, Reiko, Iroha and Hitoshi on the bridge. Floren's goal is to persuade his sister to come home, but if his sister insists on not wanting to, he intends to stay with his sister despite having to give up his noble title.
“Then you asked us to find your sister ?” Ask Seiji.
“For that, I can do it myself, but I need help so he wants to go home.” Answer Floren.
Floren continued the story, his family had problems, although his father had a noble title is quite high, the marquis, but because of his soft nature, he was easily deceived by other nobles. Akhinya a nobleman managed to instigate his father to release his second mother because it was considered cheating and his sister was the result of his affair. The father of Floren believes raw and angry towards his second mama, he banishes his second mama along with his younger brother, but the nobleman who instigates her captures his second mama and her younger brother, then made his mother a slave to his needs and intended to sell his sister to other nobles. But in a crucial moment, the mother both managed to release her sister and told her to go to her family in the southern continent.
“Geh family issues..” Reiko.
“That's me asking you to free my second mama and bring her to meet my sister again, the reason he did this was all because he was interested in my second mama.initially I wanted to pick up my sister first and then together to free mama by coming to the nobleman.” Floren.
“Hmm pas sih...but how is it, it's a family affair too..” Hitoshi.
“Repot..” Reply Iroha.
“You said your sister is in the academy right, what's her name ?” Ask Seiji.
“Eh...You know the academy students?” Ask Floren.
Seiji replied by taking out his academy card and giving it to Floren. When Floren read it,
“She is 15 years old, same as Solon-san, she is still 1st grade high school, her name is Cyriel Bennet.” Floren.
“Pruuuuut..” Reiko immediately spouted out her drink when she heard the name Cyriel called.
“Oh turns out your sister Cyriel.” Seiji.
“You know ?” Ask Floren.
“He's my classmate and Reena.” Reply to Seiji while embracing Reiko.
“I also know Cyriel-niichan.” Iroha.
“Hah niichan ? Cyriel's a girl, isn't she a niichan ?” Ask Floren.
“Prang.” The glass held by Seiji, Reiko and Iroha fell down, their faces becoming extremely shocked and agape. Hitoshi was stunned to see the three,
“Haaah..” Shouted three.
“Why ? or there may be another one called Cyriel Bennet.” Floren.
“You said Cyriel's a girl ? deservedly she is cute for a male size.” Reiko.
“Iya I also think Cyriel-niichan.eh neechan cute..” Iroha.
“Means...during this I roomed with...” Seiji said in shock.
“Oi Solon..conscious..” Shouted Hitoshi.
“Means you guys know my sister well yes.” Floren.
“Ah yes...they are more familiar, if I only know because he got the highest result when the entrance exam and speech in front of the opening time of the new school year. And coincidentally.she's her roommate.” Hitoshi said as he held Seiji's shoulder in front of him.
“Oh...you've been in touch so far apparently..” Floren.
“No.. I know he's a boy and our room is in a male dorm..but indeed he's too small for a male size and his face is sweet.” Seiji.
“Heeeee...” Ledek Reiko and Iroha with a big smile.
“True coke...I'm not lying...” Seiji.
“Haha yes already, after hearing the story and your sister turns out to be their close friend, we will help..but use our way.” Hitoshi.
“Thank you all..” Floren looked down at Albert behind him.
