My Adventures In Philia

Party Up

Trisha, Isla, and I left Lukewood Forest and are heading our way to the Guild of Beer. Since I couldn't get the Mystic, I failed my quest and will only get a silver coin in return.

Just great...If you are wondering about the horse that I used before, we were able to get it back and return it to the stables where it belongs.

As we stood in front of the noisy guild, I noticed Trisha had a sly smirk on her face.

"Hey shrimp, watch this.."

In a quick second, Trisha rapidly kicked open the door with her leg and shouted,

"WHAT'S UP, YOU SLACKERS!!!!"

All of a sudden, the people inside started cheering and yelling out of joy to see Trisha back.

Something like this would happen because Trisha is relatively popular here. Others sometimes called her "The beer-drinking Maiden" which is an odd title that they came up with. Besides, Trisha is the type of person who could please a crowd.

"Welcome back, dear *HIC* daughter of *HIC* mine..."

From the upper floor of the building, a middle-aged, large build man walked down the stairs slowly trying to keep his balance along with a beer bottle in his hands.

"Yeah, yeah, nice to see you still alive, old man." The Swashbuckler said sarcastically with her hands on her hips.

The man on the stairs is none other than Yahir Goldfisher who is the owner of the Guild of Beer, Zeke's lazy boss, and most of all, Trisha's alcoholic father. He is quite a rude person and would always be locked inside his office drinking.

As Yahir was about to take another sip from his beer bottle, he suddenly lost balance and started to fall from the stairs.

Without a moment to lose, Zeke noticed that his boss was about to hit the floor, so in a quick second, he used his body to catch Yahir which hurt Zeke's back with the weight of his boss.

"Hm?"

"Boss! Don't "hm" me! You almost hurt yourself!" The green-haired exclaimed.
"And also, can someone help me?!"

And within a minute, everyone started to laugh at Zeke who is in a problematic situation. All except for me and Isla.

The two of us were able to help both of them back on their feet while ignoring the old geezer's rude complaining.

"Get your *hic* hands off of *hic* me, lads!!! I *hic* rather have *HIC* a hug from my *HIC*-" But Yahir got interrupted by Trisha who is twice as mad as her drunk father.

"YOU WOULDN'T GET A HUG FROM ME, OLD MAN!!!"

"You alright, Zeke?" I asked him with concern. Of course, I will be worried about my friend who happened to almost squish into a pancake!

Before Zeke got the chance to answer, he was likewise interrupted by an annoying Necromancer, Hanjin. What does he want now?!

"So you are done crying in your closest Ria? Or are you ready for another match?" Hanjin said with a dark aura and an urge to destroy me. I'm guessing he is still mad about what I said before I left for my quest.

Drake and Mask were right behind him trying to act cool for their leader. Or at least, Drake tried to..but rather, he gave me a friendly wave.

"As if I would cry, you of all people should know," I replied with a stern tone.

"Okay Ria, I'm just going...to stop you right here. Hehe, sorry for disturbing you!" Isla stuttered nervously while pulling me away from Hanjin and to the bar area with Zeke following behind.
