Arknights: You are my Sword And I am your Shield

Chapter 2

Five days later, the ship reaches the docks of victoria. Seagulls flying past by Elisa's head, smells of fish and reeks of blood spreading the docks. The crew members attached a gangway to the deck so the passengers can get off the ship. Elias walk through the gangway and took one step to a completely different nation.

"Victoria, Heck yeah!" Elias raised both of his arms in the air and yell with a low voice. "Phewh, Been awhile since I came here. I wonder what's changed?" and with that he continues to walk through the marketplace full of fishermens and merchants. Something caught to his attention and stop in his tracks, it was dried anchovies in a plastic jar.

"Hello, mister. What can I get for you?" a female liberi inquired

"How much for one these?" Elias pointed to the anchovies in the plastic jar. He bought two jars which cost 3 victorian dollars.

"Safe travels~" the female liberi waved as she sees him go.

Elias went out from the marketplace and eventually stumble on a street full of people walking and talking to each other.

"Maybe I shouldn't wear this in public." Elias mutter to himself before took of his mask and hang's it behind his neck.

"Now.." He took his mobile phone out and text Hoshiguma.

[Hey shorty, I arrived at the docks] -E

One minute later she replies.

[Good for you, Staghead!] -H

Elias chuckles upon her reply

[Anyway, I have mission to do. I'll see you later~] -H

[Alright] -E

He put his phone back in his pocket and continue on his journey. On his way, he bumped shoulders with someone.

"Oh sorry! I didn't see you there." He look behind and to see the person he was bumping with. A tall bearded man wearing a blue cape, slinging a large katana on his back and has a shoulder pad that says Azazel.

"No problem, kiddo. Be careful next time." The man said, reassuring of what Elias did was not on purpose.

"Again, sorry." And with that they both parted ways to the opposite direction.

"You! Hold on a minute." Elias flinched before he turned around to see the man from before standing intimidatingly before him. Elias gulped as they stares into each others eyes.

"Say, have we met before?" The man asked, raising an eyebrow.

"N-No we haven't, sir!" Elias responded politely.

"Hmm..." The man leans closer and put his fingers at his chin, squinting his eyes. Elias blinked a few times as the man kept his gaze. Was he suspecting him for someone else? Or maybe they met somewhere and do not remember?

'Maybe it's just me..' The man thought.

"Nevermind, sorry for suspecting you kid. You looked like someone I have known." The man spoke as he leans back.

"Is that so...?"

And with that, the man turns around and walk away towards the marketplace, which is where Elias came from. Soon, Elias did the same. Walking away towards the crowded area.

'What a weird old man.' Elias thought.

After walking through the crowded place for almost an hour, he stumble upon a workshop. He enters the workshop as the bell rings throughout the workshop.

"Welcome... Oh, it's just you." The shop owner came from the back door and greeted.

"How you doing, Old timer?" Elias waved
