22 Chapter 15

(Evan POV) :

[....Sorry] (Me)

I was sitting in seiza in front of Luna who had her arms crossed and was looking at me with cold eyes.

On the back of Luna was the Elf I had verbally abused who was being consoled by her friend who was also an Elf and had blonde hair in a twin ponytail and every now and then would look at me like I had killed her parents.

[And?] Luna was looking down at me with cold eyes.

[I didn't really mean any of it. I just thought she was a part of the Cultists because she was a suspicious looking person. So I used some intimidating methods I learned from Liza.] (Me)

I looked at the Elf. [Im really sorry. I didn't mean any of it.]

She was still trembling and had her face buried on her friends shoulder.

[I-Its okey *sniff* I was just scared. I had never been kidnapped liked that. T-That's all. *Sniff*] (Elf I had abused)

[I seriously would've killed you right now. If Tifa hadn't stopped me then you would be dead meat right now.] The other elf said as she was shooting blades from her eyes.

[Yes, and sorry um... Tifa?] (Me)

The Elf named Tifa finally emerged from her friends shoulder. Wiped away her tears and tried to straighten herself.

[I-Its okey now, right? It was also my fault for just spying at you rather then going up to you and talking. So um... you don't have to sit in seiza anymore. I forgive you.] (Tifa)

I looked at Luna.

[Hmph. Fine.] (Luna)

I finally stood up, well because of the pain immunity I wouldn't feel any pain anyway so I'm fine either way.

The other elf walked up to me.

[H-Hello, I'm Evan also knows as Rei-] (Me)

*Crack*

-18 HP

I heard a weird noise and when I looked down. I noticed the Elf had her foot planted in my crotch.

.....she had kicked me in the balls.

THANK YOU PAIN IMMUNITY SENSEI!!!!

[That's for making Tifa cry.] (Elf)

[Oh, I see] (Me)

She was surprised by no reaction.

[H-How?] (Elf)

[Easy.] (Me)

I gave a wide smirk.

[Its cuz my balls are made of steel.] (Me)

{Author Note: Is that a Duke Nukem reference?}

I was still inflicted with a debuff.

Cracked nuts: can't move for 16 seconds.

[Hmm?] (Elf)

She flicks her fingers at my head and I fell down like a weightless plank.

[Okay, maybe it hurts like hell.] (Me)

[Ha! Revenge is a dish best served cold.] (Elf)

[R-Reid!?] Luna came up to me.

[Don't worry, I'm fine. Just pain.] (Me)

[Why were you looking for me anyway?] I said while still on the ground.

[To recruit you.] (Tifa)

[Recurit me?] (Me)

[Yea, I thought you could help Tifa on her missions but now I'm not sure.] (Elf)

[Sarah, please. We're already here now, so might as well? And that was an accident.] (Tifa)

[Tsk, if you insist.] (Sarah)

[And we also have information about your king and queen.] (Tifa)

[P-Papa and Mama!? Where are they!?] (Luna)

[Papa and mama? Are you their sole daughter.] (Tifa)

Luna nodded and the debuff finally finished so I also stood up.

[We'll tell you about their whereabouts if white hair over here would join our team.] (Sarah)

Luna looked hesitant now. Hey, am I more important or your parents?

[Fine, I'll join.] (Me)

[I also wanted to ask this before but are those goggles?] (Tifa)

[Hm? Yea I made them, why?] (Me)

[Well one of our kind requested a mission to obtain lens he wanted to develop goggles like those you're wearing right now. That was also when we first saw you, fighting an endless horde of zombies at night time. I really didn't think you would survive.] (Sarah)

Luna looked at me worriedly...but did Sarah said something about the lens?

[Wait, hold on. Mission about lens?] (Me)

[Hm? Yea, our quartermaster requested it he wanted to make goggles by using the lens from demon eyes for the Elves festival which happens every year to celebrate the birthday of our queen.] (Sarah)

I made a huge smile.

I finally found you. Cultists.

[Okay I will join you but there is a genocidal problem we're facing right now. I might need your help in that.] (Me)

[Genocidal?] (Tifa)

[No! Reid! I already told you that you're not Facing That Thing!] (Luna)

[Sorry but I've already made my preparations.] (Me)

[NO MEANS NO!] she might cry again if I don't her.

[Alright, fine. But I'm still telling the Adventurers guild.] (Me)

[Really!? You really won't Go!? P-Promise me you won't Go!]

(Of course, I will go.) I just gave a thumbs up.

She signed in relief.

Woohoo, deception working perfectly.

[W-Wait what Genocidal problem?] (Tifa)

[I'll explain at the Adventurers Guild. For now, Follow me!] They put their capes on and started following me.

.......

....

....

We reached the Adventurers guild and I opened up the door.

[Good morning everyone!] (Me)

I came inside and there was only lark and Liza. Lark was talking to Liza so his back was facing me.

[I've come bearing Good News!] (Me)

Lark and Liza were both surprised until lark looked here...

[LITTLE MISS! There you Are!] Lark just screamed without context.

[Woah, What happened lark?] (Me)

[Well, we were supposed to keep her here remember? But she kept trying to escape until we locked her in a room. But then I heard the windows breaking and her scream in the room. So I hurried in to check out what was going on but someone smacked me from behind and I collapsed. We all got worried and thought the Cultists got her.] (Lark)

[What?] I looked at Luna and she looked away.

[Don't worry it was another one of her escaping attempts.] (Me)

[Really!? Phew I'm saved from Liza's wraith.] (Lark)

[You're still going to receive harsh training from me] Liza said with an anger aura coming out of her and lark flinched at her words.

[Hey Liza, How are you holding up?] (Me)

Liza had dark bags under her eyes.

[Barely] (Liza)

[Oh, here, this might help, Might not. I don't really know.] I gave her a swiftness potion.

[Hm? Are you sure?] (Liza)

[Yea!] (Me)

I have no idea if it would help though.

[Thank you.] (Liza)

She drunk the green colored potion.

[Thanks, that helped a lot.] (Liza)

It did?

[You said you had good news.] (Liza)

[Oh yeah, I may have found where the Cultists are.] (Me)

Liza and lark both got serious.

[So is anyone ganna fill us in what's going on around here?] (Sarah)

[Lark, can you do that?] (Me)

[Sure, alright listen here miss's...] Lark started to tell them on what's happening and Luna came next to me.

[They're gonna summon the eye of Cthulhu in the Elven kingdom. Those two are Elves and they said about working on a mission to retrieve the lens. Well we can get more info out of Lenard so wake him up I have to visit Arnold for a sec.] (Me)

Liza nodded and I went upstairs with Luna following me.

[Hey Luna can you order some food? I'm starving.] (Me)

My hunger bar was 19% left.

[Hm? Okay!] (Luna)

I dropped her on the 2nd floor and went to the 3rd floor.

[Yo Arnold! You There!?] (Me)

I heard a series of crashing noises and Arnold came out from the back door.

[Oh, it's yu me laddie how can I halp ya today?] (Arnold)

[Yea, how much for a full set of silver armor?] (Me)

[It's 2 gold coens.] (Arnold)

Thankfully, it's cheap.

[What about platinum armor?] (Me)

[That's 18 gold coens.] (Arnold)

Oh, Come on!

[Okay give me a silver armor set and can I use your anvil and furnace?] (Me)

[Alreght jest don't break anytheng.] (Arnold)

If they don't know about the crafting list then they probably don't know about inventory and all it's funtions too. Best be careful and quick cause I have no way of explaining this.

Arnold went to get the armor and I quickly went inside and made the Grappling Hook.

Finally, I got the Hook. Can't wait to try this out.

Before Arnold sees me I quickly went behind the counter.

[Hm? Didn't you want to use teh anvel?] (Arnold)

[I changed my mind about the anvil I'm in a rush so I need the armor.] (Me)

[Alright here.] (Arnold)

Arnold handed me the armor and I gave him the 2 gold coins. I wore it when I was out of sight from Arnold.

Silver Helmet: 3 defence

Silver breastplate: 4 defence

Silver pants: 3 defence

Set bonus: 3 defense.

I armor looked neat decorated with gold linings and a large Ruby on the very middle of the breastplate. The helmet completely covered my face but I equipped my goggles in the social slot and now I have a much wider view with no drop in defense.

I went back to Luna who was surprised to see me in armor.

[Reid?] (Luna)

[Hello] (Me)

[Um. You look good in that armor....like a prince.] She started to blush a lot.

Hm? Why is that? Oh. Is it because she's a princess?

There was some type of chicken on the table so I ate it and quickly went to have an audition with Lenard.
