Today is the day of the trade.
Akumo had to take a few days to prepare. Mostly because he wanted to give the guild the finest goods he had. Anything to get that valued piece of information. Akumo is going to make sure he secures it. Now, with Osore, they are heading over to the lower-ranked guild's camp. Osore carries a bag. It is full of resources and sharpened weapons. The sharpened weapons will sure to help protect the guild. This is because it buffs the person and makes them slightly stronger. The weapons also deal more damage than normal ones. Akumo is lucky that Haigoku learned 'Sharpened'. The two are now travelling through the woods. They are getting close to the lower-ranked guild's camp. Akumo hopes no one will attack them on their journey.
The two continue walking. The crackling of leaves could be heard as they stepped on the leaf litter below them. Chirping of birds could be heard from a distance. Suddenly, someone jumps out of the bushes. Akumo almost got a heart attack. He initially thought that he needed to fight, but what came out of the bushes was an injured person.
Injured Stranger : Help...Help please...
Osore looks at them with a disgusted look. Mostly because the person looked badly injured. Icicles are injected into his body from all sides. He was bleeding heavily. One of the icicles went through his eye. It was bleeding as well. The person is bloody all over. They seem to be on their last few moments. The scene looked very gruesome.
Osore : What the heck happened to you?
Injured Stranger : They...They attacked us...Please help me...I'll do anything you ask...Ple-
Akumo stabs him with a tentacle. The person had died. The corpse disappears and in its place a bag of apples. Osore is a little intimidated. Akumo is giving off a scary vibe. He seems to be mad. Osore steps back a little. Akumo breathes in and out. The scary vibe disappears. A calm and cool vibe takes its place.
Akumo : Let's hurry.
Akumo continues moving forward. Osore is scared to be left behind. He grabs the bag of apples and follows along. He is a little shocked by what happened earlier. Akumo is never one to suddenly kill someone. He only kills with reason. And when he killed that guy, Osore knew that Akumo must have felt some bad vibe from him. Either way, Osore does not want to bring it up. One, because he doesn't want to make Akumo mad. Two, he would rather not talk about it. The two continue on their way through the forest. They finally reach a clearing and emerge from that dense and dark area. Light beams down on them as they exited the forest. The sun seems happy today. Akumo continues walking. He feels slightly dizzy. - Why was I so angry just now? - Akumo wonders in his head. The male did not know what happened earlier. He just felt like the person deserved to be dead. He hopes Osore won't bring this up.
They continue walking. The sun continues shining brightly down onto them. Akumo feels even more dizzy. He almost falls if not for the rock beside him.
Osore : Boss!
Osore rushes over. He wears a worried look.
Osore : Are you okay?
Akumo : Yeah...I think...Let's rest for a minute.
Osore nods and sets the stuff aside. He helps Akumo sit down. The male is now against the rock. Osore sits beside him. He looks up at the sun, admiring its shining beauty. Akumo looks down at the floor. He seems to be thinking about something. The dizziness is fading. Resting was a good idea. Akumo takes a bottle of water out from his pocket. The male opens it and drinks half of it before putting the bottle back in his pocket. It seems like it barely fits. After the dizziness fades, in comes a headache. Akumo is annoyed by this. They should be at the lower-ranked guild's camp by now. Akumo hates his luck.
