Chapter 2 I Picked It Up (Malik's POV)

A/N: This is the story from Malik's POV.

———————

Today, I left the guild in my subordinate's hand and went to the lake in the forest near Pedrell City to go fishing. I put my fishing rod, lure and my favorite sword inside my magic bag (the flow of time in this bag is different, the things that put inside won't rot or age).

Now that I thought about it..

I rarely go fishing, but for some reason I felt like going fishing today.

When I reached the lake, suddenly I felt the presence of other people here.

In the past, I used to be a decent adventure so I was pretty good at detecting people's presence.

I looked behind me to make sure I was not being followed and proceed carefully.

".."

And then I saw, a boy with silky smooth black hair was murmuring something to himself as he scooped the water from the lake and drank it.

I cannot see his face because he was facing the other way but his outfit was strange, I never saw that kind of outfit around here.

In Alsar, black hair was really rare, if there was a person with black hair I surely would had noticed.

Perhaps he was a traveler?

He seemed to be alone, I think it'd be hard for him to travel by himself with such lithe body.

Maybe he was a magician?

I was curious so I called out to him.

"Huh? Someone's here?" I nonchalantly said.

Now I could let my presence out and approached him.

The boy turned his body around when he heard my voice.

He was very beautiful.

His shoulder length black hair looked amazingly delicate.

His big slightly upturned eyes looked so innocent and pure.

His slightly pink tinted cheek added a slight of bashfulness in his expression.

His small lips that was slightly wet with water was really enticing.

I had lived for 47 years and had seen lots of beautiful people but he was one of the most beautiful person I had ever see.

With that alluring face, he looked at me and tilted his head.

I was utterly mesmerized.

"Umm..." He started.

Of course the boy would had feel bothered, I was blatantly staring at him.

I didn't want him to feel scared so I introduced myself to him quickly.

"It's okay, I'm not a suspicious person,boy. My name is Malik. Malik Cleva. I'm the guild master from the adventure guild in Pedrell."

"A-ah.. My name is Himukai Ren. May I ask where is this exactly? Pedrell ? Where is that?"

What?

Himukya? Ren?

I couldn't catch his name properly.

And he didn't know about the adventure guild?

Was he a sheltered noble son?

But he didn't even know about Pedrell City...

This lake was really close to Pedrell City, the next closest city would be the Imperial City but it'd take 3 days by foot to reach it and 1 day with horse.
