Old building with dusty walls; squeezed by two tall buildings so that sunlight is difficult to enter. The signboard at the top of the door with the path slightly covered with dust made Arvus a little doubtful of the place before him.
"I know about 'don't judge anything by the cover', but .." said Arvus.
"Yes .. I know your doubts ..." continued Hudge.
Arvus and Hudge looked at each other, nodded their heads, then walked into Ingsventory.
Booms! A loud voice suddenly sounded for a moment after Arvus opened the door. Surprised, Arvus and Hudge briefly flinched back.
Both of them were in shock for a moment.
"Continue?" ask Hudge.
"OK .." answered Arvus.
The two walked back into Ingsventory. Smoke greeted their arrival. Wagging slowly, trying to get rid of the puff of smoke that disturbs the view and makes a little choking.
From behind the puff of smoke, a shadow of a person standing by holding an English key in each of his hands raised upwards.
"Ohokay!"
There was a loud sound of coughing from the direction of the shadow. Unintentionally, Hudge nudged one of the items. Ting! The sound of hard iron falling down made the figure behind the shadow realize that someone was coming.
"Oh, there's a customer apparently!"
The vanishing plumes of smoke made the figure before Arvus and Hudge clear. A woman with black ponytail hair in a tank top suit, mason's glasses on her forehead, as well as a waist-bound jacket smiling broadly welcomed their arrival.
"Welcome to Ingsventory! Sorry for the inconvenience!"
Hudge smiled stiffly while Arvus was glued to one of the items in the store.
"What is this, madam?" arvus asked with a point.
"Oh-oh! You have such observant eyes, young man! It wasn't a chain, it was a chain connected to a Dagger!" answer the Woman.
While Arvus was focusing on sorting and selecting the chain before him, Hudge walked up to the cashier's desk where the Woman was.
"Anu .. introduce, my name is Hudge and she's Arvus. We're here on the advice of Doctor Wilhem" Hudge said.
"Oh! You guys know Wilhem apparently! There should be customers. Ah, my name is Astrid, Astrid the Craftsman!" astrid said by patting the left chest proud of herself.
"Ahahaha ..." again a strange person, yes ...? inner Hudge with a stiff smile.
"So, what do you need?" ask Astrid.
"Oh, we're just about to start our journey in this world. More precisely start living in this world. And tomorrow, Arvus and I will start working" Hudge said.
"Oh-oh-oh! Alright ... What kind of jobs do you choose?" ask Astrid.
"Fishermen ...."
. . .
"Ne-fisher ...?" astrid asked with a slightly doubtful face. Hudge nodded her head.
"The fisherman works at sea, right ...?" ask Astrid who is still in doubt. Hudge nodded her head.
"The sea is full of water, right ...?" astrid asked still hesitating and tried to convince herself, again. Hudge nodded her head, again.
The wide smile on Astrid's face slowly faded away. His body seemed to turn white, even around where he was standing as if he was white. Flat, blank stares with a flat face.
Hudge gave a small stiff laugh as she knew why Astrid was so shocked.
Astrid shook her head, patting both of her cheeks. "So, what's your Role?" astrid asks and is answered by Hudge "Skopertis."
Astrid showed a confident smile again. He loudly said, "What weapon is your mainstay?"
Hudge smiled and laughed a little. The small smile and laughter instantly made Astrid feel bad.
"H-Hudge .. don't tell me, you don't know the weapon that suits you yet?" astrid asked, trying to keep smiling.
"Please ask for his help" Hudge said, bowing typical of Japanese people.
***
Quickly, Arvus immediately ran out of the store.
"Wahaha! Hows it? Cool, right?!" astrid said with a laugh.
A small plume of smoke came out from the muzzle of the weapon Hudge was holding. A small blaze raged around the object Hudge had just shot.
"This weapon seems to be the most suitable, Brother Astrid," Hudge said, lowering her weapon.
A weapon shaped like a 98k Carabiner Sniper, but with a white color patterned with light blue lines is being held by Hudge.
Looking at Hudge's eyes that seemed to sparkle in amazement at the weapon she had just used, Astrid's heart became melted. In Astrid's mind, suddenly one thing happened.
Astrid clapped her hand. "If you want to take it, just think of it as our introductory gift" Astrid said. "REally?!" asked Hudge who was surprised by the light radiance from around her.
"Y-yeah!" please don't look at me with that gaze .. it ... really is too cute! astrid said as if glittered by the grateful gaze of Hudge.
Arvus who had panicked felt embarrassed after seeing the attitude of the two people in front of him. He took a deep breath, trying to be calm, just approached Hudge and Astrid.
"Dear, Hudge! What the hell are you doing?" call Arvus.
Seeing Arvus coming, Hudge became even more enthusiastic. He excitedly explained what had just happened. He also did not forget to introduce Astrid to Arvus.
"Hehhh? You got that for free?" said relaxed Arvus by raising both eyebrows. Arvus grinned, thinking of something. Arvus glanced at Astrid and said, "So .... as our introduction anyway, does this chain mean free?"
"It turns out you're a young man who can look for opportunities in narrow-mindedness, yes .." Astrid said.
"Ahahaha, I take that as a compliment," Arvus replied with a small laugh.
***
After finishing buying the needed items, Arvus and Hudge prepare to return to the hospital. The sniper was almost the size of his body he slanted on his right shoulder. The chain that Arvus had just obtained he had connected between the belt and the end of his two Dagger.
Astrid whistling. "You seem to fit in with those weapons too."
"Ahahaha, really?" hudge replied with a little embarrassment.
Once Arvus feels comfortable enough and gets used to it, he and Hudge permission a parting and thanking Astrid. Astrid replied with a friendly smile while waving her hand.
"Please come again!" shout Astrid.
"Sure! If there is a discount or free!" reply Arvus who is preparing to close the door from the outside.
Arvus' reply upset Astrid a little. However, the little laughter could not be hidden. Astrid sighed slightly and said, "Children are unique ...."
While walking home, Arvus and Hudge joked. When they reached the crossroads and were preparing to cross, suddenly the sound of police sirens from a distance. Three police cars were chasing a car covered in dust with an open roof, much like a GR Supra.
The four cars flashed very quickly, breaking through the lights that should have been red. If someone had crossed it, then it is certain that the person will be knocked to death immediately or at least, follow Arvus and Hudge to the hospital.
The laughter on Arvus and Hudge's faces instantly disappeared. It turned stiff with sweat flowing from their foreheads. The two gulped, looked at each other, and sighed heavily.
However, unlike Arvus and Hudge, the people around actually look relaxed and there are even some who cheer with excitement.
"Yahoo! Get 'em, Lambert!" yell at the excited people.
The driver who drove the GR Supra, Lambert, directly slammed the steering wheel, facing the car backwards, doing Burnout, and took out two wings with the edges there is a bright red color on the side. When the three police cars were about to approach, Lambert stuck his gas very fast, passing through the gap and making two police cars split.
One remaining police car directly slammed the steering wheel to the left, intending to roll back in pursuit of Lambert. However, as if accustomed to it, Lambert easily overcame the one remaining car. He came out of the driver's window with the Rocket Launcher on his shoulder. Lambert grinned, and then pulled the trigger of his Rocket Launcher.
DAM!!
The remaining police car exploded as fireworks were lit.
