Drakengard Anomaly: The Tale of an Angel and an Intoner

Chapter 4 - Possible Problems

In just one day, I fought monsters, woke up in a forest with two magic books with me, killed two thieves, visited a medieval town, fought three people, and saved a girl from being murdered.

All in a day's work nothing out of the ordinary. It's a nice history, isn't it?

By the way, the girl I saved didn't trust me, as she let me go ahead during our walk and stared intently at my back.

Moreover, the worst part was that I couldn't sleep at all during the night before, and now here we were, covered in sweat, tired, and walking along a dirt road towards the next town or village with the sun rising on the horizon.

The cold morning wind blew towards us, it didn't bother me, but I saw Rose shiver. Her revealing brothel dress didn't do much to warm her up so I took off my coat and offered it to her.

"Here, take it." I outstretched my hand, offering my coat.

Rose stared with distrust between the coat and me.

I don't know what she expected me to do, God only knows what she went through, but slowly, Rose outstretched her hand.

When her hand was a few centimeters away, she grabbed my coat tightly and took it from my hand.

She stared intently at me again, but soon analyzed my coat curiously, running her hand through the fabric that didn't exist in this age.

She put my coat on, but stared confused at the zipper, not knowing how it worked, so I decided to help.

"Let me help you." I said, bringing my hands close to hers.

Only to be met with a slap on each one; the emotional pain was greater than the physical.

"Don't touch me; just tell me how I close this!" Rose shouted angrily, gazing at me furiously.

OK, it wasn't the best start; maybe I was too hasty since she doesn't trust me.

"You put the metal part on the left end into the opening on the right end, and then pull it up." I answered.

She struggled a bit with the zipper, but eventually, she closed it, and we returned to our walk in complete silence.

-With Rose-

As we walked down this road, I thought about what happened last night. I never imagined that one day I would escape from that brothel since my mother sold me to the owner of that place. It wasn't for a large sum.

My life became hell, but I don't blame my mom, life is hard and she raised me the best way she knew, even though that way was quite violent, until she got tired of me. I still remember the beatings.

In the brothel, the bosses didn't bother to teach me to read or write, just how to take care of my appearance and how to please the customers, there the other prostitutes gave me the name Rose.

My mother never bothered to give me a name, until one day I met Indigo and thought I finally found a friend, someone I could trust.

We made a plan; at night when everyone in the brothel was sleeping, we would take as much money as possible and run away together.

Those thoughts died when she revealed that she just needed someone to carry more gold and then tried to kill me, looks like she got tired of me too.

However, here comes the unbelievable part.

A stranger came out from under the bridge and I almost died. He looked to be about twenty years old, dressed in strange but quality clothes, probably a nobleman or merchant son.
