In the previous chapter

Akatani digests the information calmly a little disturbed by Salem but gets reassured he wouldn't have to deal with her unless they find out about him

Nodding he gets up and quickly goes and hugs Eri before heading to the door getting there he stops and turns to Ash

"Thank you for telling me the truth you always were a great friend..." Ash smiles at him walking over and giving a side hug

"Anytime now go im sure that you want to get it done as fast as possible yeah?" Chuckling he leaves and quickly disappears down the corridor

Turning around Ash sees the package on her desk making her gain a confused expression

"When did you get here?" Eri walks over still holding that smile on her face

"Miss Blake told us to give it you!" Ash smiles at the girl before checking it's contents as she does her eyes widen slightly before she humms to herself

Looking back down to Eri she smiles

"Wanna come to Vale with me?"

Current chapter

The response was instant and at that Ash and Eri were on a bullhead straight to Vale

Eri the entire trip was bouncing excitedly on Ash's lap keeping a big smile on her face the entire way whenever they did have a little trip Eri was spoiled rotten since this was the only time she was allowed outside to the Kingdom

Landing Ash carried Eri around Vale grabbing just random bits and pieces of anything that the girl liked before heading to a shop opening she smiles at the owner before browsing

Looking around confused Eri looks at Ash

"What are we doing in here Miss Ashley?" Ash qives a closed eye smile to her patting her head with her one unoccupied Hand

"I'm getting something for me but while we're on that note which one do you think?" She points to two different things then looks back to Eri who gazes at them for a while before pointing to the one on her left smiling doing so

"That one!" Ash wordlessly grabs it and brings it and her to the owner to buy and then leave with it in a package

Ash puts Eri down and holds her hand as they walk through the streets of Vale staying in comfortable silence for a while until Eri stops looking at something

Ash turns to question her but seeing her awed look she follows her gaze to see a poster for the Vytal festival tournament making her faintly smile

"Come on Eri lets get you some lunch" nodding Eri walks with Ash again for a while before reaching their destination walking in Ash sets Eri on her seat and goes to order food whilst she's doing so a customer looks at Eri in disgust walking over to her

"What's a freak like you doing here?" Eri ignores the man but it angers him immensely

"Hey! I'm speaking to you Freak! Answer me!" Eri continues to ignore him making the random man snap

"Why you little!" He goes to grab Eri's hair but a hand grabs his shoulder making him turn around and freeze on the spot
