Chapter 14

After we earned enough coin to last us a while, we decided to head out to a different place. We decided to head to the city and earn some money there, that way our adventure won't run out anytime soon. It's been about one month now, and Alice and I have changed quite a bit. Alice has mastered the flow one must master to wield a sword. I've attuned myself to the power of magic and I even hit a growth spurt so now I'm almost Alice's height. Woohoo!

We have gotten accustomed to living in the same room for quite a while now. But for some reason Alice is still weary about me when it comes to dressing ourselves. She tends to be weird doesn't she. We took out time packing up all of our items and I quickly cleaned our room out of hospitality for the innkeeper. I still remember my past life you know. I still remember to be courteous.

Now that I look back on it, I was never the type to say no. I never thought about myself and I would always be there for others. But for some reason I was never there for myself. I believe that the reason that man stabbed me was because I accidentally said yes to dating his ex or something, Oh well.

As I got distracted about what I was doing, Alice already had all of her stuff packed up and was waiting for me to finnish up. "Come on Liz, hurry up we need to leave before the sun reaches its highest."

"I'm coming!"

I got up and finished packing up all of my stuff really quick. Once everything was clean, Alice and I left for the big city to start our next adventure. Here we will find ways to earn more money, and I will be able to earn an easy living using my knowledge to my advantage.

We set off and exited the town. It was kind of sad leaving this place after staying here so long. I think i'm gonna miss the fish kebabs the most. Hahaha! Well I think Alice is going to miss the weapon shop the most though. I mean that's where she got most of her armor. Since I made it for her.

We became good friends with the weaponsmith after a while and he allowed me to use his forge as long as I paid for the materials and let him keep whatever extra I made that I didn't want. It was a win-win relationship between us. Alice mainly watched from afar since she didn't really like the extreme heat. I built up a resistance to fire since it was one of my attributes. And if I ever burned myself I could use my healing magic to heal myself.

Anyways I got off track. My bad. We continued down the road and arrived to the gate of the town after about an hour. At the gate there was a guard stationed there. After getting an it closer to the guard I noticed that they were fast asleep. Fuckin dumbass sleeping on his job. I never understand men, you know what I mean?

Alice and I went up to the man and we tried to wake him up. About five minutes have passed now and we are still trying to wake him up. Since he won't wake up I came up with an idea. I gently set the toll price to leave the town and then I grabbed everything that I had and slung it on my back as if I was ready to run. Then with all of my might I kicked the man right in the nether regions. The man immediately woke up, but he was already on the ground before he realized what happened.

I was already running off, imbedding some of my mana into my legs to boost them so I could run faster. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!" I was cracking up real good. "What the HELL was that for Liz?!" Alice yelled at me as she chased after me, hoping to not get caught by the guard who was just starting to get up. We continued to run for about half an hour, breathing heavily when we finally stopped.

When we finally caught our breath I started laughing again. Immediately Alice wracked me atop my head. And let me tell you. She is very strong! "I can't believe you did that!" She said, "Actually I'm not. You're a psycho child who doesn't understand that you can't do anything that comes to mind."

"Actually I thought this out in great detail. This was a way for me to test out my theory on flowing my mana into my legs to increase my agility. And kicking that guard in the nuts was the best way for me to get motivated to run!" I responded proudly. With a big goofy grin on my face I looked at Alice. She ended up smiling due to my silliness. "You're such a dork. You know that?" She said quietly.

Continuing on the path to the big city at a much slower pace, I write in my diary that I recently got at a bookstore to tell others about my journey when I get older. Right now I am here writing in this very book right now.

In the recent year I have stayed in the town that I stayed with Alice many things have happened. We hunted down many canopy deer and wild horned rabbits. We even hunted down a few heated wolves. That was worth a few small silver which was great for us. We got close to the lady who owned the inn that we rented. Since we stayed for a year, the lady gave us a good discount since we worked most of the day anyway.

Though I must say something. It's been really weird that recently Alice has been acting a lot more distanced with me. In the first half of the year we got really close. She finally warmed up to me and I didn't mind her at all. But ever since I hit that growth spurt she has changed. Maybe it's because I no longer look like a little kid that she can be around? Also when I hit my growth spurt, I stayed flat as a washboard, so I look like a boy with long hair now. Hehe. Girls are weird too you know.

Ever since I have become a grand soul my way of thinking has changed. I used to think with my heart but now I think with my head. I have always trusted my head recently because I have been lied to before. But thinking about it a little bit deeper I realize that maybe Alice thinks with her heart a bit too much. She has messed up a lot because she followed her heart instead of her head.

I've gotten used to her now though. I just give her a small idea about how what she is doing might not be a good idea, and when she still does it and gets hurt, i simply heal her and say, " I told you so." I always find it funny when she gives me that pissy look.

Anyways I need to pay attention to the road more or else I will hit my head on something. I miss it when I was first getting used to my new body and Alice would always laugh at me when I tripped and fell. Good days
