The Ace Of Disasters
Episode 28's
”Ayhner! Dodge from there!”
From behind, Aciel hugged Ayhner tightly as soon as he realized the time was very tight. The large pot that fell down earlier finally hit his back until it shattered and fell to the ground. The three maids were so shocked to hear a loud bang and it seemed so painful that it made him instantly speechless on the spot. They felt guilty and immediately bowed in apology.
”Inspect us Sir! We deserve the punishment!” say all three at the same time.
Aciel slightly raised his head then answered him quietly, ”Nothing. You guys just tried to protect her.” Aciel gave a pause and then he stood up to make sure Ayhner was okay. ”... Are you hurt?”
Ayhner seemed to be very surprised to see the incident. In a short time he kept silent until he finally replied by nodding his head.
Aciel sighed then looked at the fence wall which looked fine not to be dirty in the slightest and not to be torn apart. ”... Looks like this fence is very old and the pot is also too thin. You three!” Aciel pointed at the three maids to surprise them.
”I- Yes Sir. What command?” replied the man's maid awkwardly and frightened.
”Fix this already broken fence. It would be very damaging to the view if the fence wall collapsed.” he replied.
”B-well Sir! We will fix it!” replied the man servant spontaneously.
”Mr Leory, what happened? I heard the sound of a big pot falling here.” Eldric who looked as if he had just descended his chariot immediately ran towards the Leory residence as soon as he heard the sound of a falling pot similar to the sound of an explosion.
”Ah, I'm fine. The dropped pot is no big deal.” replied Aciel who looked fine.
”Ahh, the.” Ayhner suddenly pulled the arm of Aciel's clothes to the point of inviting her attention. ”... Why did you do it? I just wouldn't have been so badly hurt if you hadn't protected me. Why do you bother to do it?”
Aciel was silent for a moment. She smiled soon, looking at Ayhner lovingly while gently touching her head. ”... Sure oes. Protecting you is my duty. Keeping you safe is my duty. You don't have to ask me about this anymore. My answer will remain the same as before.”
...~o0o~...
”Hei! A cent! I want this outfit!” Aima pointed towards a woman's clothes that were displayed in front of a shop. It was a very limited outfit with striking red and gold beads.
”No! I'm not asking you to go shopping. If you do not tell me to do it, I will never do it either.” replied Sen indifferently and turned his face away.
Aima looked sullen as she folded her hands. ”Strict adults once!” he grumbled a little then smelled a sweet and fragrant aroma from a shop not far away. The aroma was very appetizing and provoked him to see what this scent was.
Aima walked over, disregarding Sen who was standing behind her. He continued to follow this scent until he finally stopped right in front of a shop serving food. And right in one of his chairs, this scent was centered there. He got closer and did not realize that the scent he was inhaling stopped right in front of him.
”Wah! So fragrant. Sweet. I have never seen any food with a smell this sharp.” said Aima noticed a plate of sweet waffles on the table and in front of a boy who was sitting enjoying it.
”What are you doing there? Interferes with the appetite of others!” Ketus Ayhner who was annoyed to see Aima appeared suddenly like this.
Aima raised her head, looking at Ayhner who was sitting there alone. At first he looked ordinary however, he started to sense there was something strange in him.
”You, same as me.”
This answer surprised Ayhner. ”What do you mean?”
”Aima! What are you doing! I told you not to go far!” Sen suddenly appeared behind him and instantly pulled Aima away from Ayhner. At that time, Sen was able to look at him with a full glance. He just found out this child was the child that was talked about by Gill. Of course he looked like an ordinary kid who had just lost his memory.
”Come, we go from here.” he continued while pulling Aima away from there.
Ayhner was surprised to see the sudden arrival of the two of them. Like I've known you for a long time. ”Because of the girl, I became no appetite.”
”Why is so young master?”
”Of course for smelling his breath—
Ayhner suddenly stopped answering once he knew this voice was not a voice that he was capable of recognizing. Quickly, he immediately turned back and looked at a tall and large man standing there with a grin.
Because he continued to pay attention to it, he did not realize that behind him were two other men. The horse-drawn carriage seemed wide open not far next to it. Then within a matter of a few seconds, the two men there instantly pulled him and dragged him into the horse carriage that was deliberately set up there. He had thrashed many times but, there was someone who was in the train also helped by pulling him inside.
Once done with their duties, this train also walked quickly to a place. Just as it happened and had just happened, Eldric came out of a store after buying something for the person at home. He stared at the table previously used by Ayhner. However, he did not find Ayhner there. Moreover, the food that was on the table seemed to have not been touched at all. He also felt something strange and tried to find it.
”Ahh, Mr Leory!” Eldric greeted Aciel who had just done the same with him in a different store.
”What's up? You look in a hurry?” said it.
”Ayhner is not in place. I've been looking for it but didn't see it.”
Aciel's face turned pale. He felt quite shaken even to the point of being speechless. ”... How did that happen? Where did he go?”
”I don't know. When I just came out of the store, he was no more.” he replied in a panic.
”Maybe she has been kidnapped.” said a grandmother sitting on a street chair near them.
”What does nek mean? Can you explain?” ask Aciel as he walks closer to her.
”My grandchildren were also victimized by the kidnappers. Due to the severely lacking economy, a portion of the lower people took advantage of the opportunity. They kidnap children then sell them or sell their internal organs. Be prepared, your son will be delivered home in a state of lifelessness.”
”Y- that's right. Ayhner can't be kidnapped. We'd better find him by the way. He's a pretty vigilant person.” said Eldric who can't take it.
”Ah, that, actually I saw it.” a newspaper-delivering teenage girl suddenly walked up to the two of them with her pale face.
”What? What are you looking at?” tanya Aciel started to panic.
The girl started to explain it with a pale face, ”My boss was not far away with her then. When I just came out of the store to deliver the newspaper, there was a group of people who pulled the boy into a horse carriage. The carriage was quite large and capable of accommodating ten people inside. I did not pay much attention to the pattern because at that time I was very surprised.”
”What's the kid like? Say it clearly!” eldric.
The girl replied with great confidence, ”He's a boy wearing a blue ribbon under the collar of his clothes. That's all I could see back then.”
