Chapter 433: My Boring And Peaceful Day
Finally, a day off. No training, no protecting, just me and everyone relaxing.
What should I do now? Everyone has their own way to spend the time. Even Victoria is locking herself in her room to write new stories about vampires.
Angela, Kayla, Sophie, and Lina are going shopping.
Candy and Wendy are going somewhere.
I guess I"ll play with the kids then.
"No! You"re not allowed to play! We"re going to have a game of tag! If you play with us, you"re going to cheat!" Daniel said when I asked the kids if I can play with them.
Now, how do I fix my broken heart and soul? More sleep?
…I always wanted to have some peace, but now that I have a momentary peace, I don"t know what to do. And everyone is busy. I don"t want to bother them.
But a boring and peaceful day is great. I don"t need to do anything.
Well, I"ll just go find a good place to sleep. Although Victoria is busy, she still made some clones for me. I can turn them into a bed somewhere. The lake we used to go for a picnic is a good place. Lina also planted some beautiful flower there, so the sight has become more amazing.
But when I transported there, Jewel is already there. She"s with Hannah who wants to learn some fighting skill.
"That"s right. You can use your leg to kick higher. It"s rare for the enemy to focus on your leg when you are this close. Especially if they are too used in using their magic. They will think that as long as your hands are in sight, they can do anything," Jewel said to Hannah.
"But my kick lack power," Hannah said.
"As Master said, if you lack power, then instead of hitting once, you need to hit multiple times more," Jewel said.
She"s acting like Hannah"s master and happily taught her what she wants to learn. I think it"s best to not bother them anymore.
I guess sleeping won"t be a choice after seeing someone using their rest day to train. I can"t show her my weakness as her master. Though I think I have shown a lot of weaknesses to her.
Let"s just walk around Ca.s.sau. Who knows what I will see? Other than Angela and Kayla changing their clothes in the fitting room of a clothing store.
When I started living in this city, there are too many unruly men who keep trying to hit on the girls. But now, many people here have known to not cause trouble to them, or anyone related to me. People here are grateful to me for keeping bad guys out of the city. Though I can"t say anything about hunters coming from outside.
And as expected, there are some outsiders who are trying to force their ways with girls in the street. Everyone avoided them as they proudly saying that they are B-ranked hunters.
…it"s another peaceful day.
"Roy, you"re not going to help those girls?"
Candy and Wendy who were pa.s.sing by, noticed me and approached me. And Candy asked me if I"m not going to do anything to those thugs.
"It"s my day off, and I don"t want to do anything that will cause trouble," I said.
"…so, you know that your method in taking care of people like them will only make new enemies for you?" Candy asked.
I nodded in agreement.
That"s right. Usually, my method will end up with people like them to hate me to death, and think about revenge. That"s why I don"t want to do anything. And it"s not like those girls are in trouble since they seem to be calm.
"If you want to help them, you can," I said to Candy and Wendy.
"Roy, look. Those girls are air mages." Wendy said as she pointed at the girls.
I look closely at those girls and… as expected, I don"t remember them. Maybe they were my student, or Sara"s. I think it"s Sara"s since I don"t remember about them.
There are two girls who are being hara.s.sed. And each girl has a small pebble in their hand. They aimed those pebble at the men, and shot them with enough power to knock those men out instantly.
"Hmm… they packed quite a punch. Nice shots," I said.
The two girls heard my praise, but they look away in disdain as they left. They are really not my students.
"They hate you. Did you do something to them?" Candy asked.
"You"ve seen what happened. I don"t even know those two. Anyway, where are you going now?" I asked.
"We"re going to buy some underwear," Candy said.
"…Can I come?" I asked.
"Obviously not!" Wendy is the one answering.
"Well, have a nice day," I said as I left the two.
Seriously, today is very peaceful. Why can"t days like this continue for the rest of my life?
It"s because of the cult.
Let"s stop thinking about it, or my day off will be gone while thinking about them. I should relax for today.
Oh? The arena is crowded with people. I guess after the tournament, the arena will be used more often. Let"s watch the fight since I have nothing else to do.
Compared to the tournament, the fight in the arena is in a much smaller scale. It"s mostly about two sides in disagreement, and decide the result by duel.
Most of them are just lower-level mages, so it was not interesting for me who have trained with expert level mages.
There were some B or even A-ranked hunters fighting. But they are not interesting.
I left after watching three fights.
I went to the restaurant, but on the way, a pickpocket kid is trying to grab my wallet. But I move faster than him.
I grabbed all the money and the Hunter Card in my wallet, and put them in another pocket. Next, when he grabbed my wallet, I also grabbed his pouch which is full of money. I even have a time to write a note saying that his money has been stolen while trying to steal my money.
After that, out of boredom, I watched his reaction. The shock in his face after knowing that his money has disappear is priceless. I don"t care for what reason he"s stealing, but once he"s trying to steal from me, he"s my enemy. There"s no mercy even if he"s a kid.
Though I don"t think he can read as he threw away the note right away. He returned back to where I stole his money with teary eyes.
Once he saw me, instead of apologizing, he attacked me out of nowhere.
"Return my money!"
The boy, who seems to be about twelve or thirteen, shouted as soon as he finds me.
"Return my wallet first," I said.
I know that he has thrown away my wallet when he saw that it was empty.
Well, most of my money is in my Hunter Card after all. Although I have some money in my pocket, even if they got stolen, I still have my Hunter. That"s why I don"t mind losing my wallet.
But this kid just shouted to return his money and making it as if I"m the bad guy. What an annoying kid.
He even makes sure that everyone in the street hears his shout.
Well, I"m bored anyway, so let"s play along with him.
"Those money… those money are for the medical bills! My mother is hospitalized and I need those money to pay for surgery! She"s in the university hospital and if they didn"t do the surgery anytime soon, my mother will lose her life!" the boy shouted.
Many people watching by sympathized with the boy. Is he going to challenge me in acting? Boy, my acting skill is far more superior than yours.
"But my wallet is more important than a stranger"s life! It"s my heart and soul even though it"s empty! I inherited it from the mother of my neighbor"s cousin"s friend"s nephew!" I said.
"…That"s just stranger! Please give my money back so I can pay for the surgery!"
By this time, the guards have arrived. But of them seem to know me as they are trying to arrest me from stealing.
Is the boy"s acting more persuasive?
Well, I guess it"s time to speak the truth.
"Alright. That wallet means nothing." I said.
"So, you will give my money back?" the boy asked.
"Now, boy. I didn"t say that. By the way, I"d like to introduce myself. I"m surgeon and here"s my medical license. Now, tell me the name of your hospitalized mother, and what illness she has. Or else, you"re the one lying and you will be the one getting arrested," I said while showing him my medical license. I also show it to the guards.
Now, the guards are confused since I spoke the truth, and realized that the boy is the one lying.
"So, what"s your mother"s name, and what"s her illness?" I asked again.
"Ah! Seems like I got the wrong person. Sorry." The boy quickly escaped the guards. He"s quite fast. He must have run a lot and trained those legs.
Well, I don"t care. At least I had waste five minutes playing with him.
Now what?
There"s nothing else interesting happening today. But that"s a good thing for a day off. Although it"s boring, I don"t hate it. Boring is good.
And I spent the day in a boring way without anything interesting.
I slept well after that, and when I wake up, it"s time for more work. Albert asked for a meeting with everyone in Monsters World.. And there will probably more job for me so I can"t get another boring day again for a while.
