Hero Guide, Ch 2
" Okay, It's time for us to meet the King, Please wear this robe "
I gave Ai a thick but light blue robe that had been prepared on the table.
There were a symbol for this country heroes on the back side of robe.
A half Red moon, completed by 9 white stars.
Ai wore the robe silently.
in the process, She just awared that there were many hidden pocket inside.
She put the book I gave there.
and so, We went to the hall room without uttering any other word.
It didnt need us a long time to arrived to the designed room.
over there, There were other heroes and their guides waiting on the right while nobles and other important figures were on the left side of the hall.
In the stage main stage, There were King of Java, his family, and their private guardian, The royal Knight.
" Long life, My lord "
I said without knelling to the king.
He pretended to not see me.
instead, he focused his glare to our New Hero.
" Umm... Long life, My lord!? "
The Hero said that awkwadly and gave the king a little bow.
" I see... Our cute new hero need better guide to teach her our proper etique "
" Don't worry my lord, We had prepared a proper team to assist this hero main guide, Mister Asaz "
After saying that, The minister clapping for once.
and so, 2 people from Nobles side and a person from Other side gathered in one place.
" Guys, please Introduce your self "
a Full armored knight side took one step forward.
" Roger! Allisa Witchunt, has been told to be Our hero etique and daily Basic Trainer. "
after that,
A glases mage with a creepy witch hat took
" My lord, I, March Nuts will be ready anytime to Save our hero in others absence. "
Lastly,
A Mature elegant priest came forward.
" Nyawnnn~ Silica Flower will be ready to prepare Our hero daily necessary, Expecially her Need on the bed "
The King clearly frowned to his minister and protest.
" You prepare A failed knight, Sloth mage, and pervert priest as this Trickster's Assistants? I wonder if i can just change the whole team personally? "
" I am sorry, My Highness. But, you have lost the bet "
" Ugh, Whatever! please remember that I won't increase their budget before noticeable result are gained "
" Yes, my King "
" Ch, take care the rest, I wanna sleep "
" My pleasure, my King "
and so, The fat young king were leaving the hall, Followed By his Aides and other figures.
The 3 people that supposed to help me in my mission came and introducing their self to Our Hero, Ai, while I have my own private conversation with the Minister.
" Let me remind you that Outside their scheduled agenda, Their help will Only come in your absence or shortage. At that exact time--- "
" My own payment will be decreased to pay their wage, Hourly "
" Exactly "
" I have no complain As long as my demmand are fulfilled well "
" No worries, Then, I will take my leave "
" Bye "
The minister went to the small crowd where hero was surrounded and took all women away, but the Hero Ai
Now,
What left in the huge hall were only me and the hero.
" They are funny "
" Hmn? You can say that "
" Will we meet them again in the future? "
" You will, Soon enough "
I walked away slowly while Ai, The hero, followed me near enough.
" Where will we go? "
" Restaurant, Aren't you hungry? "
" Yes yes ! "
" Tomorrow, Your thick schedule will begin. So, We can spent our time to answer all questions you may have "
" I see... this's A date "
I stopped walking for a moment after hearing her conclution
Because of that, She bumped me.
" Auch~ "
" In formal way, No. "
" So, it's a yes in romance way? "
I turned around to stare her eyes.
" Excuse me Oh Her-"
" Ai "
" Uhum, Excuse me Ai, But we have just met a moment ago "
" Mister, There is something called love as fist sight in the world "
" Oh, That's what you feel right now heeh!? "
I knelled to synchronize our sight to more confortable Level To tease her.
The longer our eyes met, the redder her face.
It's... Impossible right?
I meant...
Ai shouldn't be able to have a good look on my face at the moment cuz of the Half-Mask I had always used to cover my mouth.
" I can't believe this... "
and so,
I continued our walk in hurry and fasten my pace
" To be day dreaming in this situation... "
" Don't lie to what you have seen with your own eyes, Mister "
" You are a bold girl, Huh? "
" I have learnt well that hiding my feeling only bring a missfortunate in the future "
" That's a good experiance "
" So Mister, are you married? "
" I have "
" Ah.... "
" I am sorry to dissapointed you "
" No, You are not... I am fine with being a second wife "
Once again, I stopped walking and turned around.
" You are a such thirsty girl huh? "
" Hehehe, As long as I can be happy "
" Do you know what shame is? "
" I know! that's still a lot better than getting broken heart "
" ... "
I knew well that Most heroes were crazy.
Was this for the best ?
at least, this was still not out of the line.
I shook of my head left and right.
'Okay, let's just play around, it still tolerable'
i said in my heart.
Then, I continued our walk.
" Hey hey, I still have a chance, right? "
" Who knows? "
" Hmm... Then! Can I meet your Wife to talk about this serious matter? "
" Yeah yeah, Let's meet her later, after we eat "
" Seriously!? "
" Yup "
Ai, The Hero, Didn't stop talking this and that until we arrived at our destination.
A restaurant right in front of Royal Palace, Exclusive to nobles.
At the first Floor,
There were various dessert showed and waiting to be taken.
at second Floor, A light food and Drink were prepared.
the third floor was our destination where we will ordered any main dish in this kingdom.
" Why dont we eat at the top floor? "
" Hm? We cant. The 4th floor is exclusive for high ranked nobles and the last floor is for royals "
" even For me, the Hero? "
" It might avaliable for you in the future when you have contribute enough to the kingdom "
" I see... "
" Fun fact that you are not the only hero summoned here "
I said that as a waitress silently came and gave us the menu
I immedietly ordered today recommendated food while Ai ordered the same plus 2 other random dishes.
after that, we comtinue the conversation.
" Please continue the explanation about other heroes "
Ai said serioisly.
" In our continent, A heroes appear Monthly "
" Wait! So, it's a common occurrence? "
" Short of "
" Ugh... okay, plase continue "
" They will appear in random different safest place avaliable "
" in Random place? Then, why I was summoned in the palace? "
" In short, A stargazer, fortune teller, and people with simmilar power will predict roughly where a hero appear. Then, The nearby kingdom just need to gather their strongest force to fulfilled the requirement as the save place for hero summoning "
" is there any chance you failed to do that? "
" There is. at that time, we wouldnt do anything to find the lost hero "
" W-why? "
" well... we need a hero because of their fighting potential. But, not all heroes want to cooperate and Using force will only worsen our relation. There are also a kind of hero who love to life quietly and peacefully"
" Ah! I do understand "
" Excuse me, Hero Ai, and Sir Asaz. You foods are ready "
" Thanks, Bunga "
" My pleasure, Sir. "
And so, Bunga, the Waitress, and her team put the food we had ordered on the table.
" Are you a eating here that often Mister? "
" Not really "
" But know her name?! "
" Well, it just happen to be "
" suspicious... "
" Let's eat quietly, Shall we? Don't forget to pray before eating "
It was not a good manner to eat while talking in this kind of restaurant.
I tried my best to Ignore Ai, The hero, while eating joyfully.
To be honest, The food was really a lot better than my own cooking, but still less delicious than my mother's
We left the restourant After eating well and paying the bill.
" Mister! Can you walk slower, please? I am too full "
" That's because you are such glutony girl "
" Instead of cursing me, Arent my ability to clean all of what has been ordered need to be apreciated? "
