"Well, now what?" Akane asked.
"Well, we must deliver these fruits." - Yui said.
"Ah ... the money we lost... how much we will receive for these fruits?" - Akane lamented, because with the amount they were going to pay for the entire tree, they would not have to worry about the rest of their trip.
"Well, I think I should go." - James said.
"Where do you think you are going?"
"Eh? Well ... I thought it would be better for you guys to get on with yours and I ... well, go over there. " - James said as he pointed to one direction.
"There is nothing there for kilometers." - Yui said.
"Well ... well, I really don't know what to do."
"And if you join us to where we go, to deliver and sell these fruits."
"Sister!" - Akane did not like what she just heard.
"Akane, if he really is a Celestial Warrior, having him as a bodyguard would serve us well on this journey."
"Bodyguard?"
"That's right James, I and Akane are on a trip in search of a certain place, and, as you can see, we only find ourselves traveling alone, and traveling is sometimes very dangerous, especially in remote areas of the City-States, here you will not see much because we are close to the City-State of Ambrosia, whose control and security over its areas and the nearby areas is very good, but far from the control area of a city-state, bandits and criminals go to their ease doing what they want. "
Both James and Akane did not say anything, they just listened to Yui. Akane was uncomfortable having to travel with someone they had just met, especially the "idiot" who took a million and a half of Dracnes from them; while James did not know what to do.
"Do I owe you?" Asked James.
"You see that Nectar Tree destroyed."
"Oh!"
"With the money we lost from your accident, we could have hired a team of guards for our trip, but since it's gone, you will have to hold yourself accountable for your actions."
"..."
"But don't worry, you will receive a small payment every day."
"Really?"
"Yes, after all, I don't think you carry money with you, do you?"
"Now that you mention it."
"Well, then it's settled, although at least we have collected a lot of Nectar Fruits, I hope the merchant we were negotiating with pays us well for these fruits."
"Yes." - Akane said.
"Well, there is a problem." - James said.
"Which?"
"Yui, I don't know if I really am a Celestial Warrior or whatever, but ..."
"Yes?"
"I don't know how to fight."
"What we needed!" Akane yelled, hitting James.
"Hey!" - James stroked his right cheek that had received a blow, but he really did not feel any pain.
"Damn it!" - Instead, Akane was holding his right hand that hurt a lot. - "How does it hurt ... what the hell, are you made of stone?"
"You do not see." - James said, stretching the skin on his cheeks. - "Skin, flesh and bone."
"Tch."
"Come on Akane, clearly this would happen." - Yui said as she approached her sister. - "Cure."
And, at that moment, a faint clear green light was emitted from Yui's hands covering Akane's right hand, easing the pain that her sister felt.
"Oh, thank you."
"No problem."
"What was that?!" - James asked amazed by what he saw.
