Chapter 3 The Chef and The Smith

Elizabeth and Alexander walks near the bar.

Elizabeth - what do you say?

Alexander – well it looks grand for a cheap bar.

Inside the bar they heard a voice of an old man.

Bar manager – you’re fired you useless fool! You always give foods to those beggars who knows nothing but to beg for food they don’t even want to work for good so they can eat.

Chef – I’m sorry sir, I just can’t helped looking at them die out of starvation, can please give me another.

Bar manager – say no more! I’m tired of your excuses! You can leave now! Will you?!

The bar manager take the chef’s kitchen utensils and throws it outside of the bar. The chef looked upset as he walks out of the bar and then he picked up his utensils. Elizabeth and Alexander clearly saw what happened and then Elizabeth wanted to help but he was blocked by Alexander.

Elizabeth – why are you blocking me? We need to help the chef.

Alexander – no, not yet, we’re making haste because I have other things to do other than saving your world.

Elizabeth – but we need to.

She was interrupted by Alexander.

Alexander – Please say no more, we need to make haste to reach the Capital, and I only have a little time.

Elizabeth – please, at least let me lend him a hand.

Elizabeth begs Alexander a little time just to lend a hand to the chef.

Elizabeth – Mister Do you need a hand?

Elizabeth reached her hand towards the chef but sadly the chef tapped her hand away.

Chef – I don’t need your pity.

Then the chef left, and Elizabeth was left stunned only looking at the chef. Elizabeth comes back to Alexander and asks.

Elizabeth – did I do something bad? I just give him a hand but he acts like that towards me like I’m involved.

Alexander – I already told you not to help, a man is always a man we don’t need help from women we do things with pride. Let’s go inside and eat so we can continue travel to Capital.

Elizabeth – Okay.

Elizabeth followed Alexander inside with an upset face.

Bar manager – hello, Miss Ely what can I do for you today?

Elizabeth – hello mister, need food for two people, and the usual please!

As they sat onto the table Alexander teases Elizabeth with “Miss Ely”

Alexander – what the usual Miss Ely? Hahahaha, What kind of food is that?

Elizabeth – shut up! Hahahaha nice joke you idiot.

Alexander – what joke? Is the usual not type of food here?

Elizabeth – you really are an idiot, that is not food, that usual is the usual order of mine here.

Alexander – hahahaha it’s a prank, I knew it, I just want to make the mood lighten.

Elizabeth – don’t kid me, you really don’t know it hahahaha.

Soon the waiter came with the food they ordered.

Waiter – here is your order miss, please enjoy!

Alexander looked the order and jumps with excitement and wonders what might it taste or it will taste good as good as it looks.

Alexander – Wow it looks delicious, I hope it will taste like of what it looks.

Ely – come eat it while it’s hot.

Alexander ate it fast like it was no tomorrow.

Alexander - this was so good, by the way where this meat come from?

Alexander talks with mouth full of meats.

Ely – it’s depredadors meat

Alexander spits all his food on his mouth and nearly choked to death then drunk the wine juice beside him.

Alexander – cough! Cough! Cough! Why the hell you tell me this late?!

Ely – why? It’s good and edible, don’t worry it came from the depredadors that only eats plants not human.

Alexander – don’t tell me that this good wine was made from its blood

Ely – correctly how come you guess it correctly yet you didn’t before eating its meat.

Now runs outside Alexander to vomit all of it because of shock, and he comes back after.

Alexander – hey you! You evil doer why didn’t you tell earlier?

Ely – why? It was a good food and drinks, I never thought you don’t like to eat nor drinks them.

Alexander – can you at least warn me?

Ely – where do you think we got meat if it’s not out of depredadors?

Alexander – well I did not think of that, but at least why did you use its blood as drinks?

Ely – HAHAHAHAHA I’m just kidding about that of course it’s from fruits.

Alexander – you sly fox! Why you have to do this to me?

Ely – you teased me before right? Now is the time to get back at you.

Alexander – okay, okay, okay you win. Can you please stop it here?

Ely – Maybe?

Alexander – Please Elizabeth I might choke to death next time.

After they are done eating Ely takes out a map of the kingdom and shown it to him.

Alexander – we’ll take the fastest route to Capital.

Ely – okay but can we walk this road down first I need to take my equipment from the smith.

Alexander – why? You have your equipment’s back there right?

Ely – yeah but my sword got broke back there, and my shield is far from saving.

Alexander – okay I understand, let’s take this road.

After that Ely paid the bill and they started to travel through Capital.

Alexander – why did you go to that place when there are smiths here?

Ely – don’t worry my sword should be fixed by now, mister Weil is a good black smith. He sells me mats or a lower price other than those scammers.

Alexander – but look the quality of weapons here are actually good, look at that it will fits you well.

Alexander points the weapons at the weapon store.

Ely – uhg! That sword is of mine is given to me by my father before he dies.

Ely tears fell as he answers Alexander.

Alexander – ahm, I’m sorry for your lost Ely.

Ely – don’t mind it, it’s not your fault.

Alexander – can I ask what happened if ever?

Ely – my father is a S-rank hunter of EMSS, few years ago when the meteorite moonlike hits our planet, the meteor lands hits the nest of a level 5 monsters that drives them to attack our city and my father is one of the hunters that defended the city but the horde is too large for them to fend off so the monsters emerged victorious and the city crumbles and destroyed, the casualties was so great that many of the hunters died and one of them is my father who also died there protecting my mother who is sick and can’t run anymore, so these few years I kept on searching for them but I found nothing but dust.
