The Road to The Return of Unsettling Fear - A Monster Hunter Story

Chapter Nine

    Steve woke up in the inn back in the town finding Dennis, Shuri and Neku in the room,

Steve [yawning]: (good morning!),

Dennis: (you look well, mornin!),

Shuri: (good morning?! you were hit yesterday by a deadly attack from that Rathalos and you just say good morning after you regain your conscious, if it wasn't for that man, Slaid, and his incredible moves you would be dead by now),

Neku: (I'm sorry I couldn't protect Shuri as I should),

Steve: (don't worry, besides that Rathalos was powerful because he was a high rank),

Shuri: (wh..what? now that make sense why it was powerful against you guys),

Dennis: (you should go thank Slaid, he is in the room next to this one),

Shuri: (yah, he took care of you the whole night),

Steve: (rr..really?!),[talking to himself in confuse]: (what's with him, first he is annoying then he is a helper then a skillful hunter then took care of me),

Shuri: (are you going or not),

Steve went to Slaid's room; he opened the door without knocking

Steve: (it's me Steve),

Slaid turned his back to Steve and wear his helmet,

Slaid: (I guess you should at least knock the door before you entered),

Steve: (oh, why are you hiding your face from me?),

Slaid: (...........),

Steve: (they all saw your face aren’t they, is it me the only one who you don't want to show your face to? have we met before?),

Slaid: (I can't answer your questions, I'll be leaving now take care of yourself),

Steve: (wait! what's wrong with you?!),

Slaid left the room leaving a letter on the table,

Steve [noticing the letter]: (what's that? he left something), [calling Slaid]: (hey, you left something behind),

Slaid: (it's not for me),

Steve took the letter while staring at it and went back to his room,

Steve: (Shuri take a look at this, it was in Slaid’s room but he said it's not for him),

Shuri: (let me see, there is a hunter guild's seal on it?),

Steve: (that's why I'm showing it to you),

Shuri opened the letter and read it,

Dennis: (so what does it say?),

Shuri: (huh, n… nothing it's nothing important),

Steve: (that sounds like a love letter, that Slaid making love letters like that, huh what a guy),

Shuri [talking to herself]: (now I get it, it all makes sense now, all that time, what a silly girl, I should have noticed it yesterday),

Dennis: (is something wrong Shuri, you are acting weird),

Shuri [nervously]: (no no, nothing is wrong with me),

Neku: (Steve, let's see what reward we are going to get from hunting that Rathalos),

Steve: (yah, let's go. we'll be waiting for you guys in front of the town for departing),

Shuri: (ok), [talking to Dennis]: (can I talk to you for a second),

Dennis: (not at all),

Steve and Neku left the room,
