"This is not true! I should have been with you yesterday!"
Aiyla snorted angrily at Arav and Masket who looked innocent to her, all morning including at breakfast she was still grumbling thinking about her mistake yesterday.
After the stay, Arav and the group decide to get out of the city and choose to continue the journey but before that they intend to get around the city first with the aim of refilling the supplies.
"Mr ... We'd better not linger in this town, "Masket speaks slowly so that it's hard for strangers to hear.
"You're right, our arrival is enough to make the citizens go mad because we carry a lot of weapons ..."
Arav was actually curious about the residents of this city who were almost half of them poor, in Vion he was able to find many advanced areas as rumors circulated. But in reality there are still small towns that do not get more attention from the rulers of the region.
"Mr ... Please buy all these cakes and buns."
Arav turned his head to the side and found a middle-aged woman with her daughter who was behind while hiding. Both mother and son offered them food on a large plate.
The unison of the entire Thorny Tameng squad was about to take out their fire rifles so that this merchant was quite surprised by the actions of this entourage making Arav hastily prevent it. In addition to inviting curiosity, Arav felt they should not look too flashy.
"Abibi ... How much does this whole cake and bread cost?" Arav glanced at Aiyla to hand over a few pieces of gold coins to give to the woman.
"I understand. Aunt, take it."
"B ... It's too much ... The price I think is half of what you give ..." This merchant though desperately needed money but he was still hesitant and felt bad to accept gifts from strangers without return.
"At least you think about your daughter's condition ... Don't you really want to accept all this?"
"Mr ... This ..." The woman then looked doubtfully at her daughter.
The girl behind who had been hiding had finally ventured to face Arav, a 10-year-old girl smiling brightly at Arav but the clothes she was wearing looked ragged as well as attracting Arav's sympathy.
"Rigger ... You're not from this town? Where the hell did you come from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Mila ..." This middle-aged woman reprimanded her daughter for speaking impolitely, "Master, please forgive my daughter. Emila, apologize to this sister."
"Emila's sorry, Emila promised not to repeat it ..."
Arav smiled faintly at the behavior of this family, he could see the talent that the girl named Emila had if only she got a decent education like getting military training.
But Arav soon abandoned the intention of making Emila a soldier, which he might have been so eager to see that the sweet child seemed to plunge straight into the front lines of the battlefield.
"Sister is going? Why don't we just stop by our house before we leave town?" Emila tries to get closer to Arav but can't after Arav explains it won't linger in the city.
"Brazil ... Already, don't bother this brother. It seems like he's very busy ..." Her mother persuades her increasingly unwilling daughter to let Arav go.
Seeing all this Arav could only smile awkwardly before spending a long time to be able to calm the little girl in front of him, "I hope we can meet again soon ... Maybe by then you'll be a lot more different than before, save this thing, I think it'll be useful for you in the future." Arav stroked Emila's hair after giving her a bracelet.
"Master has never even given me such a gift ..." Masket puffed her cheeks at Arav coldly.
"Maybe he directly proposed to this girl ..." Aiyla did not lose doing the same.
Arav smiles awkwardly, feeling his actions have put him in trouble but Arav can handle it maybe in some time. Arav gives the object as an identification when Emila is in danger of the scattered group of Nine Roses or her people can help her.
"Well, did you really give it to me? Emila loved it!"
"Master is so kind ... I am indebted to you and hope to repay you one day ..."
After buying their wares completely, Arav felt that everything he did would at least lighten a little of their life's burden. He then said goodbye to Emila first to his mother, the conversation lasted short because Masket and Aiyla were now scrambling to embrace Arav's arm.
"After I thought ... The cake made by the aunt was much tastier than I had imagined before ..."Arav looked at Masket but suddenly this girl ignored him as well as Aiyla.
Arav sighed, it seemed like it was harder than he had imagined to ease the anger of the two beautiful girls.
Arriving at the Arav city gate was intercepted by 2 guards complete with armor and other equipment. They did not intend to obstruct but there was something the two guards had to say before letting someone pass.
"You better not try to get out of town right now ..."
"True, you better get back soon and not get through this path ..."
Arav frowned when every explanation the guards made was unclear and confused him.
"How dare you guys speak like that to master?! If I want money, I'll give it!" Aiyla threw a small bag of money.
Usually Aiyla was so concerned about money, but she only felt annoyed by the attitude of the soldiers before her when speaking in a high tone to them.
"But ... You must listen to us ... In front there is ..."
"Ah, you just let them through. Listen sir ... We will never be held responsible if you are killed or injured ..." One of his colleagues smiled faintly conveying.
"Uncle doesn't have to worry about us, because I know very well how to guard myself from danger ..." Arav, instead of being afraid of the warning, smiled broadly before stepping out of the city.
The 20 girls behind Arav suddenly followed him, making these 2 guard figures feel they had underestimated the background of the young man before him.
"Who are they?! Why are there so many bodyguards following him?!"
"You better shut the fuck up! Don't get us involved in their business!"
Some time passed, Arav had already entered a prairie territory. Instead, Arav felt that what the guards said he might have to consider later. In front of him was already seen a small uninhabited village a few hundred meters away.
"Mr ... There was a thick fog in the village!" One of the members of Tameng Barbed conveyed the results of his observations. Obviously they found something unusual about this place.
