New Life Online 115 Scy's Hideou

"Stop! Just let her go. Here's your gold coin and let me pa.s.s." Just why people love to use hoods these days? The girl who saved me from falling is now saving me again...

"No no, it won't work that way, Misshy. Thish girl needsh a lesshon and we are here to teach her! Grab her!" He pointed her large sword at me signaling his subordinates to catch me! Oh G.o.d! Why did I even play this game!

They charged at me with their faces wanting to catch a helpless rabbit! I am really sorry for making fun of the rabbits. OMG! I thought this is my lucky day!

"I really don't want to start a trouble but I think I don't have a choice... FLAMING WAVE!" The girl with the hood released a powerful fire thingy that burned the path! Then they stopped trying to catch me!

"Who are you?! Jusht how did you do that?!" The funny talking guy started to panic. Just as I thought, she wasn't like the rest of us!

She slowly showed her face behind the hood to them. I didn't see her face but after the robbers recognized her face. They started to be nice to her.

"Aheem Aheem. Shorry about that Missh Akko. You can pa.s.sh now and here ish the gold coin you gave ush earlier. Hey you! Help her!" Just who is this girl? I kind of heard that name before but aren't they over reacting a bit?

"Hey little girl, let's go." I started to follow her. The guys are glaring at me really bad. They are really scary!

"Don't mind them. They are harmless. They just want to scare people and ask for money." The way they charged at me earlier... I almost wet myself. Harmless you say.

"Thank you for earlier and right now. You've helped me twice in one day. You're some kind of superhero." trying to make a simple joke.

"No I'm not and I told you earlier not to walk too far... No one's going to help you out here because most of the people pa.s.sing here are low-leveled players that's why those guys are taking advantage of this place... Better be careful next time." This girl scolded me... I feel like I want to cry... But I'm strong! I have to somehow pay her by helping her.

"Miss Akko. I would like to pay your kindness by becoming your a.s.sistant!" If she accepts...

"No " ...

"I'm sorry?" Wait, what?

"I said No... I don't need an a.s.sistant... or a headache..." Do I really look like I can't do anything right?

"I can do a lot of things! I'm sure I can be a help to you!" I will do my best to learn stuff from this girl because she looks like someone who can make me strong in a short period of time.

"Can you cook?" Can I cook though? I've never tried cooking even once...

"Can you run an errand? Can you carry heavy stuff? Can you use any support spells?" Uhmmmmm... This time I feel like I'm crying already...

"Hey hey... Stop crying... Jeez Ok ok... Just don't do something stupid."Yes! No one can say no to my puppy eyes!

"Thank you, Miss Akko!" I said my thanks with a wide smile on my face.

"And please don't call me by my name. I don't want to be recognized here." Is she some kind of criminal? Did I really make the correct decision? Well, who cares...

-Green Leaf Village-

We have reached a small village out away from those scary guys. This village has more trees and other plants growing around. Compared to the Beginner's Area, this place is larger and more guards are stationed here. There are also more shops around here. It is called Green Leaf Village. What a lousy name!

"We're not here for sightseeing, little missy. Follow me." I followed her to one of the shops.

"Welcome back Miss Akko. What do we have here? A little girl. Another noo... beginner?" A tall bald guy with a body of a wrestler asked.

"Yes she is and something happened. Now, she's following me. Don't know why... Do you have what I've asked from you, Mr. Handy?" So the guy's name is Handy huh.

"Here you go." handing out a small chest. This should contain some kind of treasures, right?

"Thanks, Mr. Handy. I have to go now and can you please check this girl out. She kind of roams around too much." Is she going to leave me here?

"Hey Miss Akko, I thought I would become your a.s.sistant?"

"She might be a fresh recruit for your small Guild, Miss Akko." Mr. Handy intervene.

"Hmmmm. Alright then. Do you want to join us? If you do, I will gladly make you my a.s.sistant for real." Woah! Wait! But isn't this a scam? I don't know what kind of group they have... I don't think I have a choice though.

"Of course, Miss Akko!" As long as I'm with her, I might discover something new.

"Okay then. Hold my arms real tight." but why?

"FIRE BOOSTER!"

"KYAAAAAAAH!"I screamed my lungs out! I was so surprised that I almost peed myself! Flames burst out of her feet and we flew so high!

"Woooow! The night is beautiful and I can see a lot of villages and even that huge city! Where are we heading to?"

"It's not that far. We will be there around five minutes." Jeez, this girl is full of surprises.

-The Entrance of Crystal Cave-

We arrived at the place, a cold snowy place near a mountain. If only I have enough time, I would build a snowman! Probably with sis! But why did we stop here?

*KNOCK KNOCK* I might really be with a crazy girl knocking on one of the large wall made of ice...

*OPEEEEENS* The wall cracked in half and an entrance was created! Uhmm... not crazy after all.

"Woooooah! That was incredible!" I was surprised for real.

"Let's go."

-Inside of Crystal Cave-

The entrance closed after we entered. The place is so bright with these glowing gems around.

"We're almost there." So we will meet her friends, right?

There's a pa.s.sage that leads to a room. I think it is a man-made room because it has a door. She opened it and there are two boys and one girl eating in one of the tables. It's a large room with four beds and some chests. This should be their hideout!

"Hey Scy, I'm back. I found a girl being bullied by Two Teeth earlier and now she's following me so I decided to bring her as a recruit." Did she just say Scy?
