000 Greeting Him 000

After waking up before the bed collapsed to the floor for how ancient it is, you began getting ready while Grim complained about staying at such a creepy old place. You had to deal with the creaks and groans just by walking to the bathroom to try and freshen up, smoothing out the ruffles on your clothes. Then, you went to the lounge and had to cage Grim in your arms when he tried blasting those pesky three ghosts again with his flames, just in time for Crowley to appear and give you two some breakfast. While eating, he told you your first tasks are to clean up Main Street from the gates to the library. And yes, Grim did complain about wanting to take classes to become the great mage he dreams of being, but you convinced him to help clean and then study in the library later. Then Crowley gave you your much needed supplies ...

You swept the road from the gates to the main street as Grim did his best to control his flames to burn out the weeds he spotted on the grass grounds. Donning a black apron over your clothes plus rubber boots and waterproof gloves gifted by Crowley, you felt embarrassed dressed like that out in the open but you had to wear them for your handymen job so you had to suck it up and deal. As you took a short breather and leaned against your broom, you hear Grim cry out in excitement.

"Whoa～ Amazing! So this is the Main Street. I didn't get a good look yesterday, but what's with these statues? There are seven, and all of them look scary." You look to where Grim was pointing and immediately recognized them. You started walking as you looked at them one by one. "Like that lion with the scar on his eye. Is he that famous of a guy?"

Suddenly, the words came to your mind right out of thin air and they flowed out of your mouth.

"The King of Beasts who ruled over the Savanna. Not a born-king, but a hard worker who took over the throne with a scrupulous plan he made by himself. After he became King, he proposed to live together with the hyenas, who were hated by everyone, too, without discriminating them ... Scar." You mused to yourself.

"Ooh, people who don't get swayed by social status? Rocks! But wow ... this is the longest I've heard you talk since we just met last night!" Grim sounded quite stunned.

"Well I - don't talk much around strangers." You brushed a loose strand of hair behind your ear; a sign of your shyness.

A stretch of silence hung in the air so Grim chose to break the awkwardness. "So, who's the auntie with the octopus legs before him?"

"The Witch of the Sea who lives in a cave in the depths of the sea. Her raison d'etre was to help unhappy mermaids. If you pay the price, she'd help you find solution to any of your worries, starting from desires to changing oneself to love troubles! It seems that there aren't any wishes she can't grant ... Ursula. Well, the cost was a bit expensive, though. If it's to grant any wish, then it's natural, you know?"

"Nyahaー! In other words, if I become a great magician, I'd get rich!? Then, then, what about this uncle in the big hat?"

"The Great Sage of the Desert Kingdom. He's the cabinet minister who works under the kingdom's useless king, and he's a clever person who managed to see through a swindler who tried deceiving the princess by faking his status as a prince! And after that, he managed to get the magic lamp and rose to become the world's number one Great Sage! Furthermore, it's said that he also took the king's throne by using that power ... Jafar."
