Chapter 2: Their first Conversation

"I am Ayla, it's nice to meet you mage hero Aslan sama!"

The girl, Ayla bow down.

"How did you figure out where I live?"

Aslan who was taken aback by the shock regain himself and tried to investigate her.

"Your smell"

"Eh?"

Aslan was at loss of words.

My... smell?

Did I smell that bad? I know I haven't taken a bath for a week but eh? What with this girl. Is she a dog?

"I am just joking, it's a joke! a joke! What with that face?"

The wind blow her long hair and her dress with the sun shining through her pretty face. If one can describe it, it's just majestic.

"For these 5 years, I had been travelling around the world just to find you"

Aslan eyes open wide for a second but then-

"Oh, is that so? then see you later"

Aslan closes the door but was stopped by Ayla.

"W-wait a minute! Is that how you treat someone that go all the way to find you! Do you know how hard it is for me!!"

"Like hell I care! And also you got the wrong person!! Mage hero Aslan is not here! Not in this country! He might be dead somewhere though!"

"Ngghhhhhhh!! Wait! please at least hear me out!!"

"Hahh????!!! So you are a salesman after all aren't you?!! So this is how the busniess industry doing nowadays! Using a woman as a lure!!"

"What the hell are you talking about!! Salesman? I am not a salesman! So please hear me out!!"

"Let go of the door!!"

"NO!!"

"Also why aren't you looking at me whenever you talk! Isn't that kind of rude whether you are a hero or not!"

"Because there's no need to!! Also I am not a hero!"

"Oho ... I see... so you are embarass after all... to see a woman for the first time after a while? Hmmmm is that so??", Ayla smug.

"That's wrong!!! I am..."

The girl turn her face to his side everytime he avoid eyes contact. When he goes right she follows. When he goes left she follows. Her eyes locked on his eyes, not to let go.

Aslan face turned red the result of being embarassed.

"Alright! Alright! I gives up!"

Aslan let go of the door and the door open wide.

"Hm! Hm! That's how it should be! Then again it's nice to meet you Hero Aslan!"

Huh... Just what with this girl..

Aslan and Ayla went inside the house. Ayla sit down on the floor under the kotatsu in front of the tv while Aslan prepare the tea for his 'guest'.

While Aslan was preparing the tea, Ayla eyes can't stop but to looks around the house. Her eyes were spinning around looking throughout the room like she's scanning it.

The unwashed clothes, the piled up garbages, box of tissues, lotion-

"Oi can you stop looking at people room like that"

Ayla was startled from behind.

"This place sure is filthy isn't it!", Ayla eyes were sparkling with excitement.

"Why are you being excited over a filthy room! And it's a guy room!"

They both facing sat down facing each other. But... Ayla stare just too strong making Aslan looks away.

What with this girl... Why do she keeps staring me like that. It feels like she been starring deep into my soul. Scary! , said Aslan

So he really won't looks at me straightly. Fufu that's kind of a bummer but that side of him also cute. , said Ayla.

Yeah, they both definitely misunderstood something here.

*tik tok tik tok*

The sound of the clock ticking reverberate throughout the silent room. They both had not talk anything for 5 minutes already. It's awkward. To lessen the awkwardness Aslan keeps sipping his tea every 10 seconds. But before he realizes it the mug was already empty and he had been sipping nothing but the air.

"Ah!!!! isn't this just too awkward! Don't you have something to say actually!?"

"Well well let not be in a haste should we. Isn't it better for us to truly taste this moment slowly so it'll be keep in the memory forever?"

"No, I don't think so. If you don't have anything to say then please leave. We don't accept any homeless here" , Aslan said with a stone face.

"Homeless you said?!! Even if it's true that I don't have enough money and had been living at the street this past months, it's a disgrace to call someone homeless!! It-it's not like I come here for a shelter or free food or anything!"

Hey Hey why are you exposing yourself here. This girl sure is weird when she got triggered.

"I'll call the police you know"

"Wha- Wait! Alright! Alright! I understand I'll tell you already!"

oh finally.

"Actually I come here today to gives you a letter from someone"

"A letter?"

"Yeah one day someone comes to the village and-"

Ayla search her bag. She search it thoroughly.

"Hm?"

She search it thoroughly again but this time with her being nervous

"Eh. This can't be"

"What?"

Ayla turn her face slowly to Aslan as she cry.

"I lost it-"

"Hahhhhhhhh??!!!!"
