The Market Of Galilee

A/N: this takes place on the same day as Katsumi arrived in Galilee
At the Main castle of Galilee
After Princess Izumi meets her mother she is acquainted with Shoto to her chambers. "Hey Shoto Kun..." Izumi spoke. "Yes Princess?" Shoto replied "Is there something you want? I can provide it to you!" Shoto added. "Is that so? Then let's go to the market together!" Izumi smiled as she looked at Shoto who stood there in disbelief ^Did the princess just asked me to go to the market with her?! I have never been to the market with her! I don't know how to react^ Shoto thought as he stared blankly at Izumi" princess"- "ok then! Let's go Shoto!" Izumi said as she grabbed Shoto's hand and ran towards her carriage. "Princess you are still in your gown..." Shoto said. "Does it really matter? Besides I have our disguises ready!" Izumi chuckled.

At the Market of Galilee
"Thank you coachman! Please pick us up at 4 pm!" Izumi said. "Yes princess" and the coachman rides off. "Princess..." " don't call me that! Call me Emerald!" Izumi said. "What type of name is that...?"Shoto asked "It's my alias outside the castle" Izumi said proudly. "Wasn't your alias wanderer?" Shoto seems confused with all the aliases. "Seriously Shoto! Wanderer is the alias I use outside the kingdom borders! When will you learn?" Izumi pouted. Shoto took a moment to understand and then he sighed in defeat. "Well then Emerald...your idea of a disguise is quite simple...I mean very simple" Shoto stated. They simply had a black cloak covering them. "I know! Let's go buy something!" Izumi replied. Shoto sighed and then laughed "I guess this is how I have to put up with you..." Shoto absolutely adored The Princess and the fact that The Princess was opening up to him made his heart flutter and he could almost smile at her with utmost love.

"So what good will come out of this shopping spree for the mission?" Denki asked while holding 3 heavy sacks of goods. "Denki I know you are bored but we have to find supplies for Ruby! And can you please stop saying the word mission ,we don't want to be suspected." Mina scolded Denki for not following the rules. "Relax Mina...Denki is getting used to these special codes and things." Kirishima defended Denki. "You shouldn't just go defend him because he is your friend." Mina spat. "Woah chill girl...never seen you this cranky." Sero said. Mina just glared at Sero and then walked away. "Guess she misses Ruby..." Kirishima sighed. "By Ruby you mean Katsumi right?" Denki asked. Both Sero and Kirishima looked at each other and then burst out laughing. "Hey! What's so funny!" Denki pouted. "Nothing...you finally got it! But seriously man focus more on your surroundings" Kirishima said. "By surroundings...have you ever noticed how cheery the environment is inside the boundaries but dull outside the boundaries?" Denki asked his friends. Kirishima and Sero realised that as soon as Denki said so. An old woman sitting inside her stall said, "Oh child ,that is because of the liberties provided inside the kingdom of Galilee but as soon as you step outside the border you are to give up your peaceful life and go into a world full of chaos" the gang looked interested in her theory. The old woman smiled at their intrigued face. "What are the liberties?" Mina asked. "Oh child that information is only for the people of this kingdom...so you know that outsiders can't reap the benefits" the old woman stated.  "Ok...what do you mean by a world full of chaos? I mean...we are outsiders but the world outside isn't so bad." Mina asked. The old woman says, "There is a saying in Galilee... 'once in Galilee always in Galilee' this saying has been there ever since the death of the late king. We Galileans love our kingdom and it's peace, it's natural for us to think that the world outside is chaotic." Mina didn't look satisfied with the answer while the boys didn't care. "You say that you are outsiders,Do you have a place to stay?" The old woman asked. "I do but these boys don't" Mina said. "Hey! Why don't we have a place to stay?" Denki whined. "Ruby asked me to stay with her and booked me a room ...she thought you all would be leaving tonight" Mina said. "Well that's inconsiderate! She couldn't have asked us?" Denki continued whining. "You shouldn't forget your boundaries even if she is your friend, don't get too comfortable" Mina said as she poked Denki's cheeks and he pouted, Mina then left to meet Katsumi.
"Hey did you know Sir Todoroki Shoto and Princess Izumi is visiting the market today!" A female passerby said to her friend. "Sir Todoroki is really a sight for sore eyes!" The female passerby continued. "Really? The princess is far better!" The female passerby's friend said and they walked away. "How is the princess moving so freely within her kingdom!" Denki was shocked at the culture difference. "Liberty child liberties" the old woman said. "Well ma'am it would be great for us if you could tell us a cheaper place to stay as the Inn is quite expensive" Kirishima asked the old woman. "Of course! I have a hut near the boundaries, it's unused so you can live there...I won't charge any fee as you have to fetch for yourselves!" The old woman said. "That's fine by us" the boys said in unison. "Oh! How beautiful is this!" Said a chirpy voice near them and in curiosity they looked at the source of the sound and found a beautiful green haired lady with a dual coloured hair man standing beside her. "Oh princess you don't have to be so happy with some jewels, you have better at home" Shoto said. "Oh hush! Can't I be happy with my kingdom's progress in fine arts?" Izumi pouted. The sellers were happy with the remark. "Please keep up the good work!" Izumi cheered and was about to walk but suddenly the seller asked her to stop and gave her a emerald earring piece "This earring brings good luck, please have it as a gift from the Market of Galilee." The seller said and the princess happily accepted the gift. The boys were staring at the princess with much adoration, Shoto seemed to have noticed and walked up to the boys, they saw Shoto approaching them and stiffened themselves. "What are you outsiders looking at?" Shoto scoffed. ^is it this obvious that we are outsiders!^ the boys thought. "Oh Shoto is this how you treat our guests ! I apologise for my friend's rudeness." "We are not offended at all" Kirishima said and the princess walked away with relief, Shoto followed her and kept a note about the gang.

"she really is something else." A certain someone looked at the princess from a far distance.
