A Guild Request
Onto his teen, Jaino and Judith's past flash back~
To an office, a teen boy— Jaino —with two sheathed swords on his waistline was called by the guild master. Wearing spectacles, a bearded veteran man behind the table speaks, "I'd received a letter from your father Zahamara. It's better if you read it instead. Here."
After receiving the folded paper, he flips it open to take a glance. "My father wants a spy. But why here in the association?"
"Dunno. But since it's your folks, I'll send you as our agent. You won't probably ignore this."
"You know? I hate knight jobs. That's why I take part here instead of going school."
"Self-study is good, but you earn no certificate boy. And you won't learn to be prideful."
With his confident, Jaino smiles. "I don't mind. I can showcase my skill with my dual wield. He he he. And of course, rules don't matter if your life is at stake or you need money as long as it won't send you imprisonment."
"Such confident. Go now. Just think about the reward. Remember our motto. We're not doing this for the people, we're doing this for the rewards."
Night comes after few days have passed.—to the upper eastern of the wide island, backtracking away starting from the bay, the appointed place is an ordinary village named Pirmlinth. There are few soldiers assigned by the Eastern General for peace and order.
Personifying a common civilian peddler, the teen Jaino, while he walks in the land street, he loudly yells repeatedly his propaganda in clear and good voice, and well tone that other sellers do. He's carrying basket with top covered by soft cotton fabric and its inside is containing boiled eggs in two different species. Restricted to wield both of his swords in public, the sheathed dagger inside his short pants' pocket is the sole personal protection.
Some of the bystanders and night workers, including two guards and an archer each of them has bought from him three pieces of boiled eggs for twenty coppers, to save one copper.
A man heads out his house while his woman watches at him from the window. He buys the other breed of boiled egg— containing formation of premature chick and some has feathers already —in the price of ten coppers.
Before the man could crack the egg, Jaino speaks, "Sire, in this cold night that can boost energy in romance battle." The other customers laugh.
Being amused, the man replies, "Still a child, are you? You already know those."
Jaino mumbles, "It's not like we on my age don't do it."
"What did you say?" has asked by the man.
"Nothing..."
The other man replies, "He said, it's not like we on my age don't do it. What a child."
Jaino's sweats come out his forehead while he becomes embarrassed. He just glances at the man's house where the wife is resisting to laugh. He thinks, Does that woman hear our conversation?
"This boy will be an enemy of women someday. Mark my words," has said by the man, followed by the customers' laughter.
To another street, Jaino ventures. Leaning on the wall in someone's yard, an alone teen boy with corneas of reptile nods at Jaino. That teen has bought one egg, in exchange of a rolled paper instead of seven coppers. And then Jaino continues his propaganda again as they depart to each other.
I never expect Amono managed to sneak in the syndicate. So those law breakers are searching for the remaining stocks of illegal products. And my father wants me locate these couple and pursue them to surrender behind the eyes. He should give me their images and address.
