Naturally, Audrey went inside first without a question and Steve was just about to enter next as though it was the most normal thing to do. However, before he could even think about taking another step, Niccoli already shut the door to his face and firmly held it close.Of course, Steve was taken aback by this sudden interruption and his mind that was in a complete mess at the moment failed to comprehend why the other party would behave at such way that would make things more difficult than it already was.“You know well enough that this is not the right time for this.”He gave Niccoli a quick glance that only lasted for a second before turning his attention back at the door that stood in between him and Audrey, perfectly separating the other party to them.“Our friend is inside and she needs all the help she could get.”He insinuated because he reckoned that the only reason why Niccoli would be acting like that was because he would like to demand an explanation from him about what t
For a moment, Niccoli had the urge to help the cat as he noticed that it was struggling to bring Audrey’s pants that was twice its size. But he later on decided otherwise, as he found it more entertaining to watch the other party as he carried the piece of garment with his small mouth while at the same time trying his best to balance and orb placed atop his head.[Over here!]Monami beckoned to Nero as soon as she spotted the other cat.[What a handsome delivery man, you are!]The cat insinuated afterward when Nero was finally close enough to hear her purring. Nero, on the other hand, did not comment on this. But he sure enjoyed the praise as it was evident on the smirk hanging on his lips while he was playing on his whiskers.Meanwhile, Niccoli who could hear all of it, especially how his cat was openly flirting in the public, had to fight back the urge to roll his eyes. Nonetheless, he wordlessly let the cat enter the portalet. After all, judging from the items he brought with him,
Meanwhile, the group naturally followed Jace who was heading and leading them towards the busier streets of Brujeria. But while they were on their way, Allan spotted something from Audrey that caught his fancy.“I wonder where you got that orb?”Allan glowed with adoration when he saw what Audrey was actually holding in her hands. It was as if the thing could be considered as a rare gem in his eyes. But for others, especially to Audrey’s ear, his comment seemed to be coming out of nowhere so Audrey felt compelled to lift the orb right at eye level so she could look at it closely and check for herself what the fuss was all about. She wondered what was so special with this crystal-like ball that Nero brought her, for his friend to act so amazed. However, despite careful deliberation, she still could not find anything out of ordinary to the item she has at hand, so unsure what it was all about, Audrey finally decided to asked Allan about it.“What about it? If I am not mistaken, I got it
With all of those words being said and done, the group pushed the matter at far back end corner of their mind so they could finally move on and focus their attention to the more important matter at hand. Likewise, upon arriving at the heart of the commercial unit of Brujeria, the group decided to do their business separately. “From here, I presumed that it would be best if we go our separate ways.” “I agree, more heads working within the same time frame means we can cover more area and could get the job done the soonest possible time. ” Steve suggested and Audrey was quick to second him, while the others nodded their head in consent. Since they too believed that this was the best action to take if they wanted to save time. Afterward, they agreed to meet on that same location to report any progress they made by the end of the day. "Remember, our goal is to find a ship. We will be meeting back here at the first sign of twilight and report our findings." Steve insinuated as a final
‘Phew!’Letting out an exasperated sign for the umpteenth time, Niccoli already lost count of how many disponent owners they had talked to since that afternoon alone. Sadly, all the deals they tried to strike that day all led to one thing, an upsetting ending.They even went to the extend of blinding the shipowners with promises of huge profit on top of other benefits. But it was to no avail. The moment they mentioned the word ‘Shamrock’, regardless of how good a rapport they already established in the begging, the rest of the transaction would eventually go down the drain.At one point, Niccoli was so convinced that the shipowners have come to an agreement prior to their search; that for the time being, they should never accept students who would like to do busin
“Jace? What brought you here?”Niccoli, this time, rose to his feet. Surprised to see that it was indeed his friend, Jace in real flesh and blood.“You too, Allan. Are we not suppose to take separate direction each?Niccoli added when he noticed that Allan was there too. At the same time, he could not help but ponder over possibility?‘Were they also here after a fruitless search? Are they done searching their lane and so they came searching for us instead to observe if we are doing any better compared to them?’Niccoli reflected because if his memory was not failing him yet, the last thing he recalled was that their g
Fundamentally, the idea of inefficiency that surged and threatened to drown the group’s sensibility eventually brought them a collective wave of dysphoria. Especially since they not only experienced their equal share of tough luck in closing a business deal with all of the shipwrights in general, but they were also quick enough to suspect that something was amiss. Their failure to secure a traveling vessel could not be a pure coincidence at all, could they?It all boiled down to a shared mutual understanding; the task of finding their ship was no easy task and if their conjecture happened to be true and the ship owners indeed arrived at a secret concord amongst their inner circle to not do business with the student of Iridos for the time being, then it only goes to say that their chance of getting a ship and get out to in the water to sail all the way to hunt the petrifying monster would be close to zero.Apparently, this was the only version that they could come up with at the moment
"Maybe next time it would be best we buy our own ship in a bottle, you know? the portable one. It will surely come handy when a situation like this arises again in the future."---Niccoli"You mean the one that you can just pop anytime anywhere and voila, there goes your ship in just a matter of second?" -Allan"The very same, and I propose we get one to each of our own. So that in the event of one shipwreck, we will still have a spare one. That would grant us a total of six chances since there is six of us in this team."- Niccoli"Don't be silly. You speak of it as if the item is readily available.""Well it is.""If you have the right amount of money. Last time I check you would have to pay an astronomical price for a piece of that. That is why it never occurred to me to get one. I am not sure about you guys, maybe you can afford it. But I am telling you as early as now, I am poor as bloke. "- Audrey" Worry not, my friend, there is a good reason why we got not just one but two prin
