Before F.R.O.N.D.E.R

A Strange Encounter (Part2)

Where was this man came from exactly? I wondered. His language and clothes were different from ours, after looking closer at the clothes he was wearing, I guessed that was a military outfit with strange designs.

He was also brought a bag on his back, his metal stick, which had a thing that looked like a strap that stick to the stick. He was wearing it on his right shoulder.

That must be a magic tool, as I thought earlier, that magic tool was powerful. But strange that it didn't have any magic stones on it.

But in a blink of an eye, that man killed five assassins, that magic tool made loud noises but they were all-powerful noises.

Then, after a few minutes of silence, suddenly the metal box which the man wore in his right hand talked to him, seemed to want to advise him something.

Though I considered that metal box as a bracelet but I didn't see it as a bracelet so I called it the metal box, it was so scary that it could talk!

I was very terrified now! A box, could talk? I immediately stepped back farther from him, holding my sword and was about to draw it.

That metal box talked to him again, then he touched it, surfing its surface or more rightly was its board. And somehow after that, that metal box didn't say a word anymore.

That must be another magic tool or magic item, I slowly calmed myself down, but still kept a little cautious on that man.

I kept looking at the man with caution then my belly seemed hungry, it was gulping, why did I feel hungry at this time?

I asked my belly, then I stared at that man and looked away for fiding foods, there must be some food left in this carriage.

Then that man removed his bag and putting it down on the floor, opened it and took out a short shaped metal stick with white-colored.

Before handing that thing to me, the man looked to be remembered something, he immediately removed it.

Oh! The short-shaped metal sticks that had brown colored and had been wrapped by a strange white colored thing that looked like cloth.

The man after removing that cloth, handed me that short metal stick. I took it and started looking around, also sniffing the metal stick, it had a very good smell, very sweet.

After making sure that thing had no poison and was edible, I put it in my mouth and enjoyed it.

Ohh! That sweet tasted very good, I felt more hungry after eating it, I raised my hands out to that man, begging him for more. What was wrong with me anyway? It was very shame!

That man later threw to me another metal stick again, but this time, the thing that wrapped it hadn't been removed yet.

So I tried to remove the wrap, it was a little difficult but finally, I removed it. I put that sweet in my mouth again, enjoying the taste.

Then I noticed that after eating the second one, I had immediately more serious with myself, not behaving like a child anymore.

Though I was still hungry, but I ignored it and started checking again on Her Highness.

"John, John Rigen!" - That man introduced his name to me while I was checking on Her Highness

My eyes opened wider, I had now realized that man, John Rigen was a noble, no doubt about it! This man was truly an aristocrat.

His clothes and his language may be strange but his belongings, that powerful magic tool, the metal box. The boots and his weird strange clothes, also the sweets he brought, only the high ranking nobles could own them.
