Chapter 24: Emergencies

It was past 8:00 pm when you get off the train. You we're bombarded by Rafayel's missed calls and texts. He text you early in the morning that he's injured and currently at the hospital. You did your best to arrive early but trains have schedules to follow too. You were so worried that instead of leaving your things at home first, you decided to take a cab and go to the hospital where Rafayel is. But on your way, there's a Wanderer alert.

You asked the driver to stop.

Y/N:
          Sir, could you please drop my things here?

You give the driver the address.

Driver:
          No problem, miss.

You put something on your stuff.

Y/N:      
          Once it will be delivered to my place, the system will automatically send the payment.

Driver:
          So you're a Hunter, miss? I'll be glad to help.

The taxi left, you went to the location listed on the watch. You arrive at the location.

Y/N:
          It's...

[ Flashback ]

You were on your way home from work. While walking your watch keeps beeping. You go to where the signal is.

Y/N:
          (There aren't any Wanderers left to fight...)

You look around when you heard the bush rustles.

Y/N:
          (...Never mind, found one. I need to finish this.) It's nearby!

You lift your gun and about to shoot when you heard someone talk.

UNKNOWN:
          What's the matter?

In the vast sea of flowers, someone sits up from the grass.

Y/N:
          ...Who's there?

The guy put his hands up slowly as you point your gun to him.

Y/N:
          Xavier?

Xavier looks up. Then slowly puts his hands down.

Y/N:
          Oh, it's you.

Xavier:
          You look like you're in a hurry. What happened?

Y/N:
          (The data on the watch shows the Wanderer is around here, yet...) There's a Wanderer nearby. Haven't you sensed it?

Xavier:
          A Wanderer?

Xavier holds up his chin, then suddenly puts his hand back into the grass.

Xavier:
          Here. His name is fluffy.

As he speaks, he pulls out a fluffy ball from the grass. The Wanderer bats its big eyes like a round, pudgy bird. As if upset with Xavier's rough handling, it bounces on the ground a few times, shaking off the grass in his body.

Y/N:
         ...So you already tamed it. I was too late.

Xavier:
          Not really. I just happened to be resting here.

Xavier and the fluffy Wanderer look at each other for a moment, then turn to look at you.

Xavier:
          This Wanderer lives here. Are you going to take it away?
