It seemed we were dropped off a district. People were already looking at us since we looked like we were new here.
Technically, we are.
We kept on asking where we are though, people were rude. We were asking nicely but they answered us as if we're the type to know everything.
Please deal with Platinein, if you think of it that way.
"I hate these people." France grumbled after a while.
"Don't you think that they're being too rude?"
"I presume it to be their number one nature."
We were just walking around now, lost hope in asking others of where we really are.
"The Queenswood Shopping District huh...guess we have our answer, Nicholas."
France pointed out at a sign. Finally, an inanimate object answered our questions.
"Since we're in the shopping district, maybe we should unwind for a while."
That's how we ended up window shopping every store in the district. Well, actually, I was just following France around. She rifled every rack, though we didn't buy anything since we don't have any money in hand. When a person wearing a uniform would approach us, we would walk away.
Is this how women buy clothes? I mean, I don't really know since we had a royal tailor and a royal dressmaker who always present us new clothing to add in our wardrobe.

She was still moving about every store she sees. Goodness, I still have to find my sister, you know!
France went in on a store called, Forever 21. I was a little far from her but I noticed someone colliding with her. They went down pretty hard, I noticed them rubbing their head. Seeing this situation, I ran off towards them.
"You should watch where you're going!" France seethed at her.
Thankfully I caught up with her. The girl seemed to be staring at France but she snapped out when she yelled at her. Her eyes moved to examine me, her expression changing.
I held up a hand for support. She was still on the floor, and she stood up, taking my hand. I felt a strange deja vu, as if I already felt that hand touch me before. I don't think she noticed anything, after all, she just plainly stood up.
"Sorry about my company." I apologized.
Before she could reply, France pulled me by the collar, which actually choked me a little. "Come on, you idiot!"
"H-hey, you're choking me!"
Thankfully, she let go of my shirt. I fixed it and reprimanded her, "What is your problem?"
She crossed her arms and faced me. "Nothing!"
I only chuckled at her and left her with her hobby, which was window shopping. I thought about that encounter with the girl she bumped to.
When she grabbed my hand, a memory played in my mind.
"Ah!"
"M-Micha?" I went over to her and examined her left foot.
"I...I twisted my ankle." She said, without even a trace of pain in her voice.
"Come on, let's get that treated." She took my hand for support and stood up, though she lost balance.
"I can still walk! But...please do support me until we get to the royal infirmary, brother."
"Nicholas?" She was waving a hand in my face. "You're in a trance."
I blinked back to reality, "I was?"
She nodded, "I figured we should already find a place to stay. I don't think it'll be easy to find one."
I stood up and agreed with her words. Considering how everything ran with money here, I doubt, it'll be like our world where travelers are free in staying for the night at inns. It is only optional if you want to pay, after all, we don't want to just rob off money that is important with other things.
Just like she thought, it wasn't easy. Most of the hotels -- since the signs gave it away -- were mostly booked and too expensive. We tried convincing each receptionist but, they didn't fall for it that easily.
Only one could definitely persuade them, though, she's not with us at the moment.
"What now, Nicholas? Camp out in the streets?"
She leaned at the glass outside the hotel we just came in. Apparently, this one didn't do good either. They were willing to give us the remaining rooms although, we had to pay first.
"Ah, there you two are!"
France looked at me weirdly before drifting her attention to the person who chirped at us.
"Yes? I don't believe we know you."
"You'd like two rooms, yes?"
"If this is still about convincing us to pay first, then no, we don't like it."
He waved his hands, signalling that it was a no. France and I exchanged looks and I questioned him, "So you're giving it to us?"
"Of course! Please do make your stay in our humble hotel!"
---
We were now on the fourth floor, going in our separate rooms. The hallways were deserted and so, I heard France mumble something.
"Danke, Platinein."
She was holding the necklace her sister gave her and had a small smile on her lips.
"Platinein?" I asked, out of curiosity. I wanted to remain silent but I'm a cat and I don't want to be killed, if you know what I mean.
"Yes, she used her powers again. It was all thanks to her that we got a place to stay."
"H-how?!" I was amazed. I didn't know how she could help.
"Besides giving powers, this necklace can also act as a device that can help me communicate with her. Of course, she couldn't give me what I wanted, which was money, but she could help in having to convince the manager to let us stay by controlling him." She explained.
I mouthed a 'wow' since I was left speechless.
"That's why, I was thanking her earlier. "
"Well, could you tell her that I am grateful for her help?"
That small smile grew into something more genuine, "Of course, I'll extend your thanks to her."
---
That night, I couldn't sleep well. My gut was telling me that something isn't right yet, I do not actually know what that is.
Now that I'm here, and with that encounter from earlier, I'm entirely sure...Micha is definitely in here.
Don't worry, sis, I'll find you soon.
-----------------------------
Let's all take a break and calm down from what happened in the previous arc. it's getting harder to write every arc since now, the events will always be following each arc.
You could say they're connected.
Also I know that you're all raging at me for what happened last time (*cough youknowwhoyouare cough*) so yes, I'm already in the brink of rewriting what I wrote for chap 19 XD
