Chapter 262 - Three Kids
Alfonso and company went out to try to find something that the three kid- I mean, the three sacred beasts wanted to do.
"Although this road is really hard to walk while you have a cane" Said Alfonso.
In Wasteland Valley, he usually didn\'t leave the manor and the roads where plain so, he didn\'t have too much trouble while walking, however, the roads in Arcadia where grumpier, so, Alfonso had difficulty while walking.
"Although is not as bad as in Peringrer, is still bad, sorry guys, we will have to walk a little bit slow" Said Alfonso.
"I will like to help you master, however, I am too small" Said Little blue.
"If I had my originally body I could let you mount me" Said Cerberus.
Alfonso smiled and was about to talk went a small laugh came from his shoulder.
"Hehe, S-S-Sir, contrary to these two u-u-useless, I can help you!" Said Drakini.
"Oh! How come?" Asked Alfonso.
"L-L-Look! The results of my training!" Said Drakini.
Drakini suddenly expanded his body until it was two meters long!
"C-C-Come sir! Please mount up!" Said Drakini.
"Drakini, I don\'t think that mounting a two-meter basilisk is exactly a good idea" Said Alfonso.
"Ha! Stupid snake!" Said Little blue.
Cerberus smirked at Drakini who returned to his small snake form on Alfonso\'s shoulder.
"U-U-uuh!"
"I appreciate it, Drakini" Said Alfonso while petting Drakini\'s head.
"Let\'s go, lets seeing a little" Said Alfonso.
The group went to the market where Alfonso looked at the delicaties of Arcadia.
"It really is different from Wasteland valley, just comparing the vegetables and fruits, we look like beggars in front of them" Though Alfonso.
"Well guys, what do you want to eat?" Asked Alfonso.
"I want rice~!" Said Little blue.
"I want meat!" Said Cerberus.
"I-I-I want vegetables!" Said Drakini.
"Vegetables? I though you will also like meat" Said Alfonso.
"N-N-No! I don\'t like meat!" Said Drakini.
"Okay, let\'s go buy" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso looked at a nearby vegetable seller.
"Excuse me sir, can I have some carrots and lettuce?" Asked Alfonso.
"Sure, it will be 3 silver coins" Said the seller.
"Okay" Said Alfonso while taking a gold coin.
The seller gave Alfonso the vegetables and Alfonso give them to Drakini.
"Meat, meat, where do they sell meat… oh! There"
Alfonso went and bought 1 kilo of meat.
"That will be one gold coin sir" Said the merchant.
"That\'s expensive" Though Alfonso.
Nevertheless, he still paid.
"Okay now, let\'s go buy the rice… hmm?" Alfonso was about to buy the food for little blue, however, went he looked up, he saw that some people where looking at him, to be more precise, three kids.
The three kids were two boys and one girl, they had mutt all over their faces and rough clothes. Both boys were identical, surely, they were twins, and the little girl had cute blue eyes and long hair, however, the three of them were skinnier as it could be.
"Excuse me sir, could you give some coins?" Said one of the boys.
Alfonso looked at the kids and pondered a little, he looked at the sides, searching for something, the three kids were anxiously looking at Alfonso. Finally, Alfonso\'s eyesight stopped in a corner nearby, in there, someone was hiding. Alfonso looked at the person hiding for some time.
"Cerberus" Murmured Alfonso.
"Sure, I know what to do" Said Cerberus.
Cerberus disappear without anyone noticing it.
Alfonso looked at the three kids and smiled.
"Are you guys hungry?" Asked Alfonso.
"We-we" The kids looked anxious, not knowing how to answer.
"Come with me" Said Alfonso.
He walked towards a stand that was selling hot potatoes.
"Excuse me, give me three sweet hot potatoes" Said Alfonso.
"Coming" Said the seller.
Alfonso grabbed the three sweet potatoes and give them to the kids.
"Here you go" Said Alfonso.
The three kids looked at the three sweet potatoes with drool on their mouths and grabbed the potatoes, without thinking too much devoured the potatoes in one go.
Alfonso smiled at the sight of the three kids and took out coins from his pocket.
"Here you go, three gold coins, one for each" Said Alfonso.
The kids smiled and took out quickly the coins, in fear that Alfonso would take them away.
"Thank you so much sir!" Said the little girl.
""THANK YOU"" Said the twins.
Alfonso smiled and walked away.
The three kids took the coins and went to the alley.
..........................................…
The three kids appeared in front of a man, the man was tall and had a cross scar on his check. The man looked at the coins on the kid\'s hands and smiled.
"Haha! What a bounty! That kid surely is a rich idiot!" Said the man
The man took the coins and backed up.
"H-He is not an idiot; he is a good person!" Murmured the little girl.
The brothers were alerted and immediately cover the little girl\'s mouth. The man who had already walked a few centimeters away from them, suddenly halted his steps and turned around.
"What did you say? Little bitch?" Said the man.
"Fa-father, she didn\'t mean to-"
*PUH*!
Before one of the brothers could finish what, he was saying, a punch came straight to his face, making him bleed from his mouth.
"Ha? You dare to talk back to me!?"
"It seems that I have been too soft with you three" Said the man while taking his belt.
"Father, please! Please have mercy, she is just a little girl!" Said the other brother while shielding his sister.
"You little fucker!" Said the man.
The man swung his belt and hit the kid multiple times, however, despite the injuries, the kid stood still, protecting his sister. The sister cried while watching her two brothers bleeding.
"I am sorry!, I am sorry!" Repeated the girl.
The man looked at the two brother who were bleeding from all of their holes, and, despite this, they were standing firm and his anger spike out.
"You three little shits, it seems that I have to beat the hell of you!" Said the man.
"Picking on the kids because they can\'t defend themselves huh?"
"Who is there!?" Shouted the man.
From the alley, two pair of blue eyes looked at the man.
"A-A talking dog?" Asked the man.
The three kids looked at the small puppy.
"Y-You are the dog that was with the kind sir!" Said one of the brothers.
"His name is Alfonso" Said Cerberus.
""Alfonso"" Repeated the three.
"This dog!" The man wanted to say something else, however, he suddenly noticed something.
"Why- I can\'t move!" Though the man.
"What did you to me!? " Shouted the man while looking at Cerberus.
"I am too lazy to explain to you, let\'s just that you will get what you deserve" Said Cerberus.
"This is also a good opportunity to test my new illusion powers" Said Cerberus.
The eyes of Cerberus brighten and the man shiver while looking at the eyes of Cerberus.
"[Infinity Darkness]"
Suddenly, the man\'s surrounding become pitch black, the man recovered his mobility, and looked at the deep darkness.
"Where, where I am?" Though the man.
"WELCOME TO MY ILLUSION WORLD" A voice came from above.
"What did you to me!? Where I am!?" Shouted the man.
"YOU DON\'T HAVE TIME TO CHIT CHAT, DO YOU?" Said the voice.
"Grrr"
Suddenly a small growling sound came to the ears of the man. He turned, however, in the darkness, he couldn\'t even see his own hands.
"Who is there!?" Shouted the man.
Three pairs of red eyes appeared in the darkness, forming a silhouette of a huge hoodlum.
"ENJOY YOUR STAY" The voice, who appeared like the voice of the grim reaper of hell, left that sentence and never talked again.
