Chapter 6
three days have passed since Takeo's group and the midnight snake captured Ayome and sir. Mourdoq. the midnight snakes have been interrogating ayome and Sir. Mordoq asking them to give the information about the other captured kids location.
after three days sir. mourdoq gave up and gave the information to ghost and the midnight snakes.
after gathering the information needed. ghost and smoke gave sir. mourdoq and ayome to Takeo's group. that was the agreement they discussed before taking the royal and ayome his supposedly loyal servant. who spilled all of the secret he know about the corrupt royal not long after seeing ghost and smoke take out their torture weapons.
Takeo : finally you gathered the information you need from sir. mourdoq, i'll be taking them at the kingdoms jail station. what do you plan to do after this?
Smoke : we'll be taking those captured kids and find them their safe haven. we will entrust this guys to you takeo.
Takeo : yeah. how about your other members that got captured?
Smoke : they'll be out in no time. we are the midnight snakes after all. See you soon takeo, we hope to be allies with you in the future takeo.
Takeo : alright. trust me, i will make sure that this royal will be punished by the kindom.
Smoke : oh i do trust you Takeo, after all your eyes speaks for itself.
Takeo : huh? what do you mean?
Smoke : you got the eyes of the true ruler.
Jack : eyes of what?
Smoke : it's time for us to leave.
Ghost : Takeo, thank you for this. i'll make it up to you!
------ just like that the midnight snakes have left. only Takeo, bami, jack, akemi and the capture royal and his servant remained in the room.-----
Takeo : lets go and bring this guys to the royal magistrate. i heard that no royal is above the law in this kingdom. i hope that they get punished.
Jack : oyy Tak you know that we did not complete this mission right?
Takeo : aishh. could not talk about this please!?
Bami : Tak what was ghost talking about? you know, the eyes of the true ruler or something?
Takeo : i don't know. she only told me about that now. she did not mention it earlier.
jack : let's just ask someone form the adventurers building.

After turning in the captured royal and ayome to the royal magistrate's office the group returned to the adventurers building. jack looked for Sakataki to ask about the true rulers eyes.
Jack : SAKATAKI- CHAN!!!
Sakataki : Oh. hello jack! you're finally back from your mission. i heard that you could not collect your reward for the mission. thats too bad.
Jack : Yeah. but it's okay. but Sakataki-chan i want to ask you something!
Sakataki : what is it jack?
Jack : What is The Eyes of the true ruler?
Jack's voice was unexpectedly loud so the all of the adventurers and the people inside the adventurer building hall heard what he said.
Deafening silence filled the hall. bullets of cold sweat was forming on sakataki's face.
Sakataki : O.O OYYY!!! Come here! *drags jack inside the backroom of the building*
Takeo, Bami and akemi followed them.
Sakataki : What is it with you!? you want to be jailed!?
Jack : Why sakataki-Chan? did i do something wrong?
Takeo, Bami and Akemi was standing behind Jack listening
Sakataki : YES! talking about the eye or giving information about it is considered illegal here!
Jack : Huh? But why?
Sakataki : we don't know. the royals forbids it to be talked about, so i ask you guys to please stop this guy from talking about it. you don't want the royal knights to be knocking on your door.
Takeo : alright we got it sakataki. We apologize for beeing careless.
Sakataki : good, now go to the counter. you guys might not have got a reward but you still got adventurer points for taking down corrupt royals and chasing away the midnight snakes.

after collecting their points the group went back to their room to get some rest.
after the midnight snake mission the group went on to numerous other missions to get themselves some Quarts (The currency used in this story) and also to get their adventurer rank up. months passed and the group are now gold tier adventurers,
Jack : Finally we got ranked up. i was tired of our missions there was never any challenge all we do is patrol this kingdom. my Blades longs for action!!!
Akemi : Master are we taking new missions now?
Takeo : yeah. we better rookie ranked mission makes less to no money at all.
Bami : have you picked our mission?
Takeo : nah. could you guys do it instead?
Jack : would any mission be okay?

Before Jack could leave a familiar Woman approached them.
Sakataki : hello Takeo-san!
Takeo : Hello Sakataki! do you need anything?
Sakataki : ah yeah. actually someone wants to talk to you, could you spare him a minute or so?
Takeo : of course what is it gonna be about?
Sakataki : Actually this person has been our client for quite a long time now. he might want to hire you guys as his personal Chaperone. that would also be considered as a mission by the Adventurers union.
Takeo : ah. if that so, it's okay i could talk to him.
Sakataki : Great! now could you please follow me to the meeting room?
Takeo : sure, Let's go guys.
Jack : Hey! how about my choice of mission!?
Bami : could you just follow? beside if i would know with that air head of yours, you're gonna pick the mission that is not even on our rank yet, Baka.
Jack : Why You little!
Sakataki : okay guys! please enter this room. Monsieur Frey is waiting inside.
Takeo : Thanks Sakataki, Its okay Jack if we don't like the offer of Monsieur Frey we could decline this mission and you could pick one for our group. hahahaha
Jack : okay good for me. Let's go inside!
Takeo opened the door to one of the Adventurer building's Meeting room. they where greeted by a man who is sitting in one of the chairs.
he gestured them to take a sit, and Takeo and the others followed.

Monsieur Frey : You guys must be the ones i requested for. i did not expect that such young boys would drive the midnight snakes out of the kingdom and also capture the Corrupt Royal Mourdoq. Hahaha
Takeo : yes sir. that's our group. by the way, My name is Takeo. this are my friends Jack , Bami and Akemi.
Monsieur Frey : Ah yes. where is my manners. My name is Monsieur Frey Gratham. Im a Merchant..
Takeo : Nice meeting you monsieur Frey Gratham.
monsieur Frey : Oh no. you could call me monsieur Frey. no need to be so casual.
Takeo : Okay so monsieur Frey, What could we do for you?
Monsieur Frey : ah yes, so i would like for your group to be my Chaperone. i will be traveling to Dwarf kingdom of Hormida and will be passing by the monster forest. since i got zero capability in Fighting i always hire adventurers, i use to have a regular group of adventurers who i always hire, but Sakataki informed me that they are currently in an away mission and have not come back yet. but luckily for me a new group of strong adventurers have ranked up and they are also the group who chased away the midnight snakes. So long story short i personally requested for your service. It would be a one way chaperone job, after arriving in Hormida kingdom we part ways you do what you do while i do what i do, the pay is also not small. ill be paying 100,000 Quarts to every single one of you.
Takeo : That sounds good. so to make it clear. we only need to defend you from any harm on the road. right?
Monsieur Frey : Yes. that's all to it in this quest. after arriving Hormida Kingdom i will personally give the money to you so no hassle in claiming the reward in the adventurers office.
Jack : i have a question!
Monsieur Frey : yes what is it mister Jack?
Jack : will we be fighting a lot of monsters in the way.
Monsieur Frey : maybe, Maybe not . but i have never passed monster forest without beeing attacked by monsters or bandits.
Jack : Really? That sounds good, Tak! Accept the quest already!
Bami : your the only person that gets excited over being attacked by monsters or Bandits. Baka.
Jack : What? Do want to get attacked here right now!?
Monsieur Frey : What a lively bunch. so are you gonna accept this mission?
Takeo : yeah, when do we leave?
Monsieur Frey : 2 days from now. ill be doing the paper works that we need to enter Hormida kingdom. im bringing my carriage with me and the Carter of course.
Takeo : so that would be two people in total.
Monsieur Frey : yes. let's meet at the front Gate of the kingdom. We'll depart early in the morning.
Takeo : Alright.
Monsieur Frey : we will be in your care.!
