A New Life

Chapter 5

It has been almost half a month since we came back to Mister Erhard's shop. During these weeks, we were bonding as a team and grew closer as friends. Master Naofumi helped my Angel get over her parents' death. I wasn't there, but Raph told me a three-headed demon dog killed her parents, and they came across a lower level one, a two-headed demon dog.

These two weeks have taught me our master, or as Raph likes to call him, Lord. Was a pleasant person to be around, funny, sarcastic, brave, and quite a gentleman whenever he felt like it.

I was letting my mind wander, I didn't notice the small smile tug at my lips, but Master Naofumi noticed, "Harry? We're here." I snapped out of it. I don't know how long I was fantasizing, but the once far away city was now right in front of us.

Melromarc, I didn't miss this place, but we forgot something and need even more. Most of the team has a bad history with Melromarc. That child has always been a spoiled little princess.

We entered Mister Erhard's shop. He greeted us with a smirk, "Forgotten something?" Staring at me. Master Naofumi looked away and so did Raphtalia.

Traitors.

"We may or may not have forgotten about my senbons." I was bright white, which caught their attention. "You blush white?" Mister Erhard smirked.

I blushed a lighter shade, "My tree sap is white and very toxic, so instead of red blood I have white sap flowing through my veins."

Mister Erhard began to think, "Can I have some your sap? I can soak some of the senbons if you want."

I quickly agreed. I gave around 400 ml of my sap, "Can I see them?" I called as he went to a back room.

"Hold on! Let me get them!" He called back.

After a few minutes, he came back with my trunk and a jar. I was bouncing up and down on my toes, making grabby hands like a toddler. As soon as he placed the trunk down, I snatched the trunk.

As a joke, mister Erhard asked, "Now what do we say when we are given gifts."

"Thank you, Uncle Erhard!" Just for a jab at his actual age.

I could see him freeze, "Now see here kid-"

I opened the trunk before he finished, "They're are gorgeous!" I had given him three colors to work with, but he turned it into a masterpiece. Gold, bronze, silver, and the mixture of either some or all of the colors and of different sizes were scattered around in the trunk.

I didn't talk about senbons, but I adored them. They reminded me of my wand; thin, long, and very dangerous. Think of what I could do with all these senbons. Once again I was in my own world, I had a menacing grin on my face and was crackling. I notice something moving at the corner of my eye and threw a smaller senbon at the direction.

"Still got it." I boasted.

"Hey! Don't go making holes in my walls, no matter how small they are!" Mister Erhard scolded. I chuckled.

Mister Erhard looked us all over, "Seems like Naofumi is the only one who has changed."

I sombered up, "My baby isn't such a baby anymore! Mummy is so sad!" I began to coddle her.

Her face began to warm up, "Harry! Stop, I'm not a child!" She tried to push me away.

"Not to me, you'll always be a baby in my heart." I said.

"Plus the fact she actually ten, with grown men staring at her is just wrong." Master Naofumi added. I was nodding along with him, letting Raph go.

Behind me, Raph and Mister Erhard were having a quiet conversation, "But anyway, we're here to get Master Naofumi new armor!"
