Capital City Of Centropol
「 Centropol's Capital... here we now Hanaka-chan, Hanaka-chan? f」
Noticed the unresponsive two just recently and turn around. All of sudden, he indignantly grinning for self, not them for as much he felt disgraced in front of two.
Assuming they are listening to the boring life stories he shared in closed eyes, in this whole half-day journey. With their face showing pitiness. Pondering conclusions to accept such shame situation.
「 Okay, true... my life stories are nonsense, no colors and insignificant experiences compare to famous people at this years... aghh so shame, ugly. 」
Muttering to himself and deep sighed. The two gradually awaken, yawned and rubbing two eyes with both hands. Hearing merchant unexpectedly, mumbling those honest words from his mouth.
Although they'll feel at the moment that wagon stopped, and thought that Merko might peek at Hanaka in sleep state, with face showing lust motives —but not. Not the reason of Margarita there for Hanaka.
And then she said it otherworldly..
「 Every living has their own life, in every life of those are have memories, memories that every of them they cared most. Even how bitter experiences you got, there is and there is happy memories. No life has no good memories and, no shadows if there's no light upon. Fufuuaah... 」
Yawning and stretched both arms. Early awakened with gentle smile, support to her childhood friend. Exaggeratedly both thinking to comprehend that mindset she said but failed, leaving two little gaped savoring each those lines.
「 So deep to dig those you said Hanaka-chan but what a stress-reliever and more shine than the sun and stars... 」
Margarita's belief been perplexed somehow, anomaly between happy and sad memories. Then praised her loved adoptive sister.
「 Yes, I have good memories as well... no ones can't change or manipulate even bad experiences 」
「 Hmm? I'm shocked Margarita-san, you seem another person fuhaha 」
「 You're really the one who change a lot Hanaka-chan haha 」{laughs}
As those Margarita said, reminding how Hanaka's illness vanish miraculously with a red liquid, as rumours spread throughout the town. Desperately want to know its curative properties, marketability, product distribution, commission, etc. These thoughts for Merko, burst from the very own soul as a merchant's pride with sardonic smile.
「 What's that red vial of yours, Hanaka-chan? and the proces.. 」
「 Secret! 」{Hanaka+Margarita}
「 ... 」
「 Go through the left part of gate and line up. Already 4 pm afternoon, quick! the guards may rejects you two from entering!.」
「 Thank you Merko-senpai and information fee?.. 」
With a doubt, she knows money is most important thing for merchants but...
「 No its free for you, bye Hanaka-chan.. I'll stay in nearest village!! 」
Pondering for a moment, who is this person. Question appropriates to describe an unknown phenomena. Though Hanaka noticed her non-blood sister's presence.
Farewells and goes through bridge and gigantic gate. Line-up in the ends. One line for walkers and other is for horse-drawn carriages and wagons. For inspection and verification, gate guards use authority spell. Knowing one's status inside and outside of country, a security measures and resistance from bandits and bad omens.
「 ~Authority Reigns~ 」{a white small magic circle pop out in his eyes}
「 Hmmn.. Level 129? okay passed, next... 」
Margarita subsequently...
「 Are you adventurer too? young miss 」
「 Are you blind? 」{pushing her staff to guard's face}
「 O-okay.. 」
「 ~Authority Reigns~ 」

Fearsome fire aura flows again through her veins as she passes through the gate without gate guard's permission . Just relate to bomb ready to explode any moment.

Hanaka interrupt him..
「 There's my friend waiting for me and... 」
Pointing at the back, many people line-up, all complaining to one— guard himself ...
「 Hey, you slowpoke guard! 」
A deliquent man said, fourth person behind her.
「 O-okay 」
「 Thank you Sir-sama 」-smiled and bowed
Finally gotten inside Capital City Of Centropol, vibrance of people's busyness swayed by warm breeze, comes from the western lands.
Therein a large fountain, water dances gracefully as it is possess life, manipulated by hired poor magician.
Margarita in other hand, scrutinize principles behind it or so say, a continous spell depends on mana capacity and consumption over time.
Waiting for her loved sister finally...
Shouting while running towards her and waving with right hand.
「 Margarita-san!... 」
She acts like stranger, with a face saying "Who is this crazy girl?".
「 S-so shame... people's attention directed towards her, no no... its me 」
「 Lets go Margarita-san, register at Centropol Magic Academy! 」
「 Ahh... yes but first of all, I'll buy our daily necessities and an inn to stay in. You may visit wherever you want just to sure, come back here at fountain exactly 6:00 pm. You know commonly your time frame right? Okay, you understand me? 」
Margarita muttered in low voice, considering lovers each side of them not to bother their sweet interpersonal bondings.
「 Yes I understood... Margarita-san.. I'm on the food counter at left, can I? 」
「 Okay I'm going straight to marketplace. Please take care 」
「 Take care also, Margarita-san 」
Hanaka starts to walk as they depart, waving her hands as always. Seeing the part— she smiled cheerfully at her.
「 Gentle warm I felt seeing your smiles, I won't anyone take my loved sister from me. Never 」
Margarita said so, and blushed after.
��✧✦✧
4:59 PM
Food Court
「 Fuhaaa buffet is so great and satisfying phuuuuew 」
Rubbing full stomach. The reason why she satisfied with food is because she put some red liquid drop in drinks. Yes, only drinks, tea, juice, milk, etc except alcoholic beverages. Despite of not being a human she ain't feels stomache, unknowing that she's drinked more than one gallon quantity.
She gotten into some place, slum-like but no people around. Wandering any direction carelessly, she doesn't know what she's in. Scary lanes that forbidden part— den of felons.
As she continues, she feels an intimidating something grew stronger and darker.
And at the moment, she perceives some voices at right side— a group of gangsters, age between 30-40 and a little poor girl with a black tattoo at upper chest to neck. A 7-10 years old demon girl- Hanaka studies about this race, demons are not actually bad and wicked humanoids as interpreted on Earth.
Like her mother Quinna, demon race has 10-20 years more than human average lifespan. Compare to Humans, Beastmens and Dwarves, same in lower echelon of races, they have more strong capabilities in magic power and physical strength but not as great as fairies, elves and angels who are have over one thousand years to live.
Upper echelon races as said above, Angels, Fairies and Elves are originated in Northerns separated each by continent. These three races are all friendly to each. Thus, forming all-out alliance between them.
Demons, Beastmens, Dwarves and Humans in other hand, originated in Southerns separated also by continents. Upper echelons don't want to mixed or communicate with lower echelons and allow one venture inside even one in their territories because of their pride as superior beings.
Upper echelons aren't bad totally, they just concerned their own fellows after Holy War. A war between upper and lower lasted for milleniums, a peace treaty between Kings, Emperors and Presidents of all nations, signed an eternal agreement regarding expanding territories and economies. Thus war stopped, resulting no communications in between, minding own business as well as not to interfere other side jurisdictions and peace comes throughout continents.
In subject of the matter, no one concerns, thinking another Holy War happens. Only royalties and higher ups concerns, because two sides have weaknesses to do so.
For Upper Echelons, strong army-individuals but few in number and their race has low born-rate.
For Lower Echelons, strong in great number of armies but lack of supplies and equipments to provide all is the problem.
Hanaka's knowlegde in history books, two sides avoid now meaningless deaths and now there are some from north wandering in parts of southern continents. She also knows that their are more discrimination inside not only between upper and lower but also like this she sees right now.
Demons have unique feature "demon tattoo" serves their pride and integrity, extending from thighs up to neck. Sort of identification to distinguished from humans, though haven't horns.
Pondering what to do, Hanaka observe silently from short distance...
「 Give the money!?!?!?!?!!! 」{loud voice}
⟨pabgkkk!⟩
⟨ HP: 12/20 ⟩
Bald man arguing frail-looking girl while holding its "rag shirt" and throw away her like useless garbage. Against the wall, she's badly injured at both elbows, and head spilling blood through her meek face.
At a side, a fire starts to lit.
「 I-I got... nothing... spare... me... please... 」
Such pity phrase struck through heads of gangsters, getting irritated and one among them step ahead, seize and hold firmly her neck. Holding back her breath and trying to slip away, she gripping his arms by little hands at most of her power. Her situation gotten worse helplessly.
⟨ HP: 10/20 ⟩
「 Hey useless demon kid, coins or yer life?! choose now!!! 」
⟨ HP: 9/20 ⟩
「 Noo..aa.ag aghk! aghhhk! 」
Trying to escape form hellish situation but helplessly failed. She throwed away at the side of metal pillar and at this time, broken, fractured bone at right arm. Intense pain suddenly came to her nerves.
「 Agh!!!! aghhh!!!!. Ahhuhhahhh!!!.. 」
Gentle eyes starting tears to flow, cause of unbearable pain she felt. Looking to laughing thieves, hoping a chance to spared her...
⟨ HP: 2/20 ⟩
「 Ahhh! Argh!!! arghhh!!! bwahahahaha!!! 」
Burst of laughter comes out from five gangsters extorting and, looking down to half-dead kid.
A high looking eye-patched man step ahead. He's the leader of the three, with leather cloak and picked up his own sharp knife, licking up and down while walking towards the girl. The face of frail and miserable child hoping someone comes to save her, frightened and crying. The unbearable sight enough to release her wrath, reaching highest sky above.
The reason why, is she sees herself in this demon child...
「 No more day left to ya demon! Didn't reach up their quota! useless shall be killed! 」
Pointing sharp knife held by the hand towards her neck— to a point where such hope of a saviour comes to her, is meaningless dream to, as of now in the brink of death.
Seconds before to lunge with a deadly knife, someone shows behind their back shouting— angry and resentful Hanaka comes forward from their behind.
All gathered attention to her...
「 Stave off and release her! 」
「 Emm ehem... what do ya need beautiful lady? eeh ehh... 」
The trait of behaving in an obscene manner, shows to extent the filth and disgusting approaching Hanaka slowly.
「 Don't touch me! you indecent mongrel! 」
「 Ooohhhhhhhh.. 」
Gangsters moo in bewilderment, influencing by lasciviousness towards small fry. Faces revealing lust motives.
「 We pity to you boss, she hates you hahaha 」
Bald man burst laughter following others also.
「 S.H.U.T UP! 」
Without little sense of danger, before he touch her for a second, alerted and step behind. Launching unprecedented surprise attack.
⟨Shiinggrrk⟩
Both thumb and index finger of right hand, fell to the ground. In a mere second, no... half second, he incised by a short dagger yet delicate, hidden by this girl behind her hand moments ago.
「 AHHHHH!!! 」
Blare of groan made by intense pain, rose into clamor, echoed through narrow lanes between high buildings.
Little demon girl catch the glimpse of this heroic act by unknown girl, facing gangsters bravely and...
「 Th-tha.nk..you-u... 」
⟨ HP: 1/20 ⟩
Suddenly lose consciousness with slight smile.
「 Argghhhhhh!!!! Capture her alive!!! 」
In her own stance, altering each time. Dodging some attack, one by one enemy and receiving enemies missed attacks. Hence, no damage dealt both sides.
⟨Shiinng⟩ ⟨Clank⟩ ⟨Clank⟩ ⟨Shingg⟩
Claking sharp as Swordsmans versus dagger-equipped girl fought over a minute.
Fortunately, struggling and exchanging physical blows with 4 man with long swords also dodging 100% is quite marvelous feat for a young girl. Everyone surprised at her speed and stamina if she's like in official battles such as tournaments.
One magician, associate with these gangsters, come over to the commotion, casting spell and its late for Hanaka to notice the caster while dealing four in front, two in sides and one behind at the back.
「 Bessech forth oh Elemental King Of Time and Space, crush thy enemy unto agony... ~Back Punch~ 」
Hearing unfamiliar spell, surprisingly hitted at her back, flew in few meters and beaten to the ground.
⟨ HP: 16/500 ⟩
( A supreme-tier spell??? so its 500 magic damage, strong and too hurts... aghk. )
Thinking how this really happen, she vomits few blacky blood and gradually felt unconcious. Luckily they didn't notice that she's not human.
「 Ya ain't nothing against us, arghh I gotta go to healer... 」
「 Get her with care, don't dare anyone of ya defile her with yer devilthing. She's worth lot of gold, no...a platinum. Touching her skin will degrade her, hold her in clothes only, ya ya ya and ya understood? Auctioneer will examine her value... 」
「 Yes Boss! 」
「 If I found out, I'll kill ya four.. I'm serious boys... 」
「 Yes Boss! 」
「 How about this filthy demon child Boss? 」
「 Let her die anyway. A trash is a trash 」
「 Hahahaha!! 」
Another burst of laughter from heinous criminals going to secret hidden place.
