"You sll different. Or should I say familiar?" He spoke as he looked at cautiously. While I turned around and looked at him directly in the eyes.
"Apologies. I like won only." I bowed politely as I then started turning around, but he appeared in front of within a blink. Standing there with his arms crossed, he observed once again.
And then, walking a bit closer, he started slling a few more tis before he spoke,
"It's familiar, but where? Hey, human. Have we t before?"
"I would surely rember soone who tried to sll , don't you think?" I tried to bring common sense here, wondering who he was. But to be honest, he wasn't the only one having this familiar sensation.
"Strange. Forget it. Tell , what did you tell that magical girl?" he demanded the sa thing as the others and I narrated the whole story, hiding nothing one more ti.
He nodded before asking,
"You are strong, aren't you? It was a bit troubleso for to break through her magic charm, but you, it didn't have any effect whatsoever. You even fooled her."
He was genuinely impressed with while I chuckled lightly,
"You noticed, huh?"
"I am just… a little different," he answered with a deep sigh.
"I am here to et my brother. Though for so reason, I can't contact him anymore… It's been a rough journey for . What about you?" I asked as I lied. He then pondered before speaking.
"It's… nothing," he decided to not tell anything before walking away from here.
"You are nice, human. I will rember not to kill you in the end," he spoke before vanishing from here.
"Weird," I mumbled before I waited for a few more minutes.
'Been one strange thing after another. Won't be surprised if another one appears,' I thought as I scanned for more people around. Unfortunately, there were none that appeared even after waiting for 10 more minutes.
And then I walked out of the alley, one step at a ti, while my eyes kept a close look on the surroundings. I pondered about the 5 visitors of the city that I had my encounter with right now.
"Let's start by asking around first." I thought of sothing. If we are going to play 'I am searching for my brother' anyway. Then let's go with it for now. Who knows what we might find?
Walking out of the alley, I found myself back in the sa market where I was before. And from there, I reached the closest shop with fewer custors than others. Reaching there, I began asking for my brother that I was searching for.
As for the description, obviously it was of 'Adam', my real appearance.
'It is bound to bounce back at if my guess is right. But for that, we need patience. Quite a lot of patience,' I thought a bit of sothing while I kept looking around.
Since people will search for Adam because of that foresight, it should definitely pique their curiosity if Adam's brother is searching for him too. Thinking about what the seeds planted today will bring later, it was hard to contain my smile.
-Whoosh!
'Hmmm?' I looked at soone running at a fast pace away from a bunch of guards. An orange haired boy with a bag of apples in his hand. He was fast for his age, enough to leave the guards in the dust behind while he vanished from their sight.
Walking towards the guards, I tried listening to their conversation. It probably wasn't anything important, but oh well, it's not like I lack ti or anything.
"Bunch of rats! There is just no end to them," one of the guards grumped.
"Forget it. It's not like they are gonna live long, anyway," another one spoke with a slightly cold smile on his face.
"A few more days, I guess?" The third one spoke and the other two nodded, before they smiled a little evilly.
I observed them from a distance, wondering what they could an. Seems sinister, but I don't wanna jump to conclusions.
"Hey," a hushed voice ca from my right as I saw a young lady holding my hand and speaking," what are you doing? Co with before they notice you."
Not knowing what was going on, I ended up walking with her as she took through the crowd, a bit away from those guards. Walking through the crowd, we imdiately made a sharp 90-degree turn before walking a bit more towards the flower shop at a distance.
Reaching the shop, that girl helped get behind the counter before picking up a bunch of flowers and placing them in my hands. She then looked around for a bit, before she sighed in relief as she finally wiped that sweat with her handkerchief.
"Sister Lily, who is he?" Another young girl of about 12 years old spoke as she looked at curiously, with a bit of an enchanted look as well.
"He was looking at those guards while they were trying to chase the runaway kids. We were lucky that they didn't notice him," Sister Lily, the girl who dragged all the way here, spoke as she sighed deeply again as if we had avoided a calamity or sothing.
"Wha-!!" The young girl was about to shout but covered her mouth imdiately as she looked around. There was terror in the young girl's eyes as she searched a bit more before it finally subsided.
"Thank you," I spoke as I looked at them politely while they looked at , a bit surprised while I continued," I am new to the human nation. It seems I was about to do sothing that I wasn't supposed to do. Thank you for preventing from doing that."
Their eyes widened again as they looked at one more ti. This ti from top to bottom, wondering what species I was. While I just looked at them with a clear smile.
"The na of this one is Neptune. May I know the young lady's na?" I asked as politely as I could.
And then I cringed inside on my own greeting.
