Modern Women's Charm
Juno Lost
The next day from the morning when the sun was still showing a small ray, Jean had awakened Valir so that they would leave immediately.
He impatiently returned to the mission hall, exchanged the items in his cloth bag for money, paid off the debt and then met his younger brother Juno again, there's been a long plan to indulge Juno that Jean had thought of last night.
After Jean set foot in forest X and now walks in the woods, she learns a huge contrast.
In the fringe forest the tree was not as big and as big as forest X, there were not many ferocious beasts, there were only a few small ferocious beasts.
For medicinal plants or fruits even more rarely found Jean in the forest periphery. Probably because many hunters and pickers exploit the less dangerous fringe forests.
In the fringe forest, Jean and Valir often encounter groups of hunters and pickers combing the forest or just passing into the outer forest.
Whenever there is a group of hunters and pickers, Valir always invites Jean to hide or avoid them.
Jean understood, for those who are only two people, if dealing with a group of people must trigger the evil intentions of the most groups to seize their luggage and other bad things.
But while in the tree, Jean sees the group she avoids this time is a group of Marco pickers and Frank hunters.
The group looked fewer, and many were wounded, even Frank the leader of the group of hunters lost one leg and he was carried on a simple stretcher.
After observing everyone, Jean discovers Mia's whereabouts are not too bad, but Marco next to her is pale-faced with one arm wrapped in cloth and hung to the shoulder, seemingly breaking his right arm.
Jean gritted her teeth, the dagger in her hand piercing the tree trunk deeper.
Who would not be angry if they met the people who had harmed them.
Such foul-hearted people, Jean will not let go. He will definitely repay them.
"What's wrong?" Valir asked noticing Jean's strangeness.
"Nothing, let's go down they're past." Jean didn't want to talk about the problem.
After the two of them got near the gate of the great wall of the human city smoothly, Valir parted ways with Jean.
"Thank you for driving me safely here. I hope we can meet again." Jean smiled reluctantly.
Valir just nodded and left. Jean could not see Valir's face because it was partially covered with a headscarf.
Actually Jean wants to take Valir to the city, after exchanging money he can take Valir for a walk or just enjoy human food as a form of thanks.
But Jean thought, Valir is an elf who lives alone, maybe he does not like the atmosphere of a bustling human city and again, Jean also does not know whether the Elf Race can enter the gates of the human city?
That's why when Valir says "We're separated here." Turning back into the forest, Jean could only let go, hoping that one day she could meet the good elf again.
After entering the great wall, Jean immediately rushed to the building of the Mission Hall to exchange his excerpts along the way from the start of the deep forest.
Jean picked a few high-priced plants and more medium-priced plants, for she was afraid the results were too excessive when traded as a novice picker, but the amount she could was still very high.
Once the plants and fruit in Jean's cloth bag are calculated the value. Jean got a total of 72 silver over 56 copper, even the officer who handled the exchange Jean had doubts about Jean's starter badge.
Such an amount of income is usually earned by upper middle level pickers who usually follow hunters from higher and stronger classes.
It was like the earth and sky to the original Jean who usually earned 90 pieces of copper a month, but Jean also realized that all of it would not be obtained without the help of Valir.
After pocketing the money, Jean plans to pay the debt, but after buying a bag of red apples, she decides to go home first, she misses Juno.
Both Jean and Juno never left the door open that wide even though they were at home.
"Juno, brother's home. " Jean put away the unpleasant feeling in her heart and walked into the house.
As soon as he entered, Jean dropped the apple bag on his hand, letting the apples roll in all directions.
What Jean saw was that the condition of his house was a mess, the old wooden table also seemed to roll one leg and Juno was not there.
"Yuno! No, Junoooo...." Jean ran out, she screamed her sister's name.
Jean steps faster, he searches for Juno's whereabouts to where his sister used to go.
Jean's face was now full of panic, all sorts of bad guesses filled her brain.
It was impossible for Juno to leave the house in the open door, let alone all the messy looks inside.
Therefore Jean ran as fast as she could towards the river, because Juno used to look for grass seeds on the river bank.
As soon as she arrived, Jean saw that many teenagers of Juno's age were even younger, and many were seen crouching down on grass seeds.
"Juno, Juno, Juno did you see Juno." Jean screams Juno's name, making the teenagers on the riverbank turn to Jean.
"Did you see Juno? Her hair is pale yellow, her eyes blue." Jean asked by saying Juno's characteristics.
However, most answers are just words of no idea or a head bob.
Until Jean reaches the last teen, she finds no whereabouts of Juno.
"Juno where are you?" Jean was still yelling down the riverbank looking for Juno's whereabouts.
Jean's eyes were wet, her tears were falling. He sat on the bank of the river pelting the river with pebbles around it.
Only then from the back did a teenage boy with curly hair approach Jean with a frightened face.
Hearing the steps behind, Jean turned to look at the teenager.
The teenager's face was surprised when Jean turned to him, his steps stopped, hesitating to keep going or not.
Jean rubbed the tears on her face violently.
"Who are you? Are you Juno's friend? Do you know where Juno is?" Jean asked in succession.
The teenage boy nodded still with a scared face.
"I-I-I know, but please don't tell anyone if I told you." The teenage boy replied while stammering.
Jean immediately holds both the shoulders of the teenager, because he was too eager to find Juno's whereabouts.
"Of course, tell me where he is!"
The teenage boy bit his lips in fear of Jean's actions.
"He's...."
