Miya the Nerd (x Alucard? Claude?)

Fourteen, strolling

AN:

I will just skip the battle part. Because i'm so confused on what to do. But i guess you all just wanted it to be romance..? i'm not entirely sure but oh.. well? 

---

"Okay, I'm supposedly at the downtown of Moniyan empire, which i had, but where is the that Alutard?!" i yelled inwardly as i crumpled the paper containing the layout of this city. 

I had lost out the last bet after knocking down Lesley's team and immediately meeting Lunox's without even able to recover yet. Thankfully i'm not the first team to be taken out. But Alucard loses after me. Winning our little bet of the sport festival. 

Now i had to follow him around and help him shop something i assume he'll give to Rafaela. It would be over quickly if i can found him. 

"Shoot, he could just wait for me at the gate of this city or something," I grumbled, as i walk through the stone pavings and passed a cafe. 

"Oh!" My eyes darted to my left, finding someone i knew walking towards the road i believe leading to the moniyan's empire training ground. I rushed to follow, clutching my small bag and fixing my glasses trying to reach him. "Harith!" i yelled put when i arrived at the intersections, not finding the guy anywhere in sight. 

That's odd. I knew i saw a glimpse of his tail back there. 

I looked around the area, finding that the building on my left and right are probably homes of the people, guessing at the different architecture from all the shops i passed before. 

"Miya? what are you doing here?" a voice i knew from harith's echoes, and i looked around to find him, still finding none around but a few passerby. 

I heard a light chuckle, "Up here." 

I followed and had to squint a bit when i saw a little figure blurring from the treetops, finding the sunlight is right behind it and a house resting there. 

I waved at him happily, asking him how did he get up there. 

"I jumped," he laughed as if it's the most obvious thing, "but i'll get down in a moment. Wait there." He shouted before disappearing behind the wooden walls of the treehouse. I assume that it's his house? 

Not too long like he said, he hopped down with a leather bag right in front of me lightly just like a cat. 

"You're here to see alucard?" I nodded. "He's probably sleeping in. On weekends he's usually a lazy bum- wait. He asked you to come here didn't he?" harith clicked his fingers after his ears perked up. I nod again. "that's odd. Where does he tell you to come?" 

"The downtown marketplace." 

He laughed.

"Okay, i'll help you get there."

I tilted my head for a bit. "Isn't that here? I think i just passed the marketplace?" i checked back at the map, squinting for a bit to make sure.

"No, no," harith walked ahead, hands crossed to his head, "that's nothing compared to the marketplace. You'll see."

He's not joking. I can't seem to close my mouth after looking at the marketplace from afar. It was located at a lower ground, perhaps 3 stores below from where i'm at and it was more than huge. There's also sections by height level, for about 40 stairs down there's people gathering for antiques and inedible goods, and another 50 stairs down where the real market happens. We had to go down some stairs with people crowding here and there, like ants. I can even see some people play music and dancing there.
(sorry my describing skill sucks)
