24 Rest and Plans.

After running inside the dining hall and having a full meal, Felix decided to return to his room.

"Sigh...I'm dead tired with a full stomach."

Opening the door with the key, he entered his room and jumped onto the bed.

"All I need is a quick nap right now...."

He closed his eyes and rested his overused body that was exhausted from running and slashing his knife around. His deep snores were the only thing left in the room.

"Hey Miss Elsa, do you know where Felix is?"

Called out a cheerful voice at the reception desk.

Elsa raised her head above and saw Noah and his friends standing in front of her.

"Oh Noah, hello there. About Felix, he just completed his mission and must be resting in his room."

"What! Has he already completed his mission? But that's too fast, we were just about to ask him if he could join our group and complete a mission together."

Noah exclaimed, as he couldn't believe that thin and weak boy could do a mission on his own, that too this quick.

Shaya and the others were also surprised at hearing that.

What they didn't know was that he had already completed the mission only in one hour and had to spend the other two hours finding the way back to the guild, almost getting himself caught.

"Well, that's too bad then. If you guys want, you can go to his room and look for him directly."

"Oka-"

"No, Miss Elsa. I don't think we should disturb him now that he has just completed his mission."

Shaya interrupted Noah who was going to agree with the receptionist's plan.

The others also nodded as completing a mission would be quite tiring, and they too would need rest and sleep as they were still young and could not afford to remain working.

Noah finally understood what they were talking about as he sighed and reminded Miss Elsa.

"Well, it seems we'll have to complete our mission with just the five of us. Oh, by the way, Miss Elsa. Be sure to tell Felix that we are planning to host a welcome party for him at the Joyous Tavern right down the street."

"How wonderful! I'm sure Felix will be happy knowing you guys are filling his stomach with good food."

Elsa clapped her hands as she imagined how happy Felix would be remembering his roaring stomach from a while ago.

"Haha, we'll be going now to complete our mission. Goodbye, Miss Elsa."

"Bye. Don't get lost and be careful on the way."

Noah and his group waved at her and walked out of the guild building after taking a scroll from the board.

"Sir Oswell, this...I'll make sure to find the person who did all this."

Back in the tent that looked like a cemetery more than a circus now.

The short-statured man was sweating a lot as he gazed upon the mess that was caused around the tent.

"Hmmph, there's no point finding excuses with me. If you don't get me what I asked for, then you'll have to pack your bags and leave this city."

The noble spoke in a furious voice as his plans seems to have been foiled by someone.

But as arrogant as he was, he did not want to waste his time finding the culprit who will not even give him what he wanted.

"I won't tolerate any more mistakes. The next time I come here, I want you to give me the products without any blunder. Do you get it?"

He gulped at knowing that his small business would be thrown out of the city if he couldn't satisfy this angry customer.

"Yes Yes Sir Oswell, I'll be sure to be careful this time and make no mistakes."

The man appeased the noble as the consequences of failing in doing it would not be something he could handle at the moment.

'Damn it! No matter who it was that did this. If you get in my hands, then I'll make your life worse than these monsters.'

His face contorted as he suppressed his anger toward the culprit and made a helpless face in front of the noble. He promised to take revenge on the hateful person who created so much trouble for him.

*****

The culprit behind all this twitched.

Felix woke up finding the evening sunrays falling on his face from the slightly opened curtains.

"Haa...that was a nice sleep."

Getting up from the bed, he refreshed his body in the washroom. Wearing his clothes and also putting the knife hidden behind him, he walked out of the room.

'I got lost two times today. So, I must start learning the way around the city.'

This time, he wanted to make sure that he learns what streets he'll be walking on and where to go from there.

Coming down the stairs, he walked to the reception but stopped himself as a few guys were discussing something with Miss Elsa.

Waiting for them to go, he sat on one of the sofas and thought about the incident that happened earlier.

'I forgot as I was hungry at that time, but should I inform Miss Elsa about what happened today?'

He frowned as that idea did not seem to be good. If he had only seen the people from the tent and not caused such a mess, then it would have been fine telling the guild.

But he not only made a lot of trouble but also successfully escaped from them which would make him a bit suspicious in their eyes for the small and weak kid he was.

'And then, what will I say if they found the mess that I created? So, I think it's out of the question to talk about it.'

It would look very suspicious if they found out that he escaped from them and his skills would be brought out to the light.

"Hey, look at who is here!"

A playful voice suddenly sounded breaking him out of thoughts as someone came behind him and shouted out.

Felix turned behind to look at the green haired boy, who was pointing at him and grinning while elbowing his angry friend.

"You..."

Felix knew there was some trouble knocking at his door at the moment.
