Talk, Walk, Booze And Bath! [Pt.2]

Walking through the last corridor to leave the Temple, I was breaking down the thoughts running rampant throughout my head.

And to be honest.

It was freaking crazy.

Because all of these thoughts.

They were realistic.

And I couldn't ignore them.

"I– I don't want to die..." uttering these words under my breath she snuck a peek at me as I was following her by the grip of her hand, holding it tight like if she wasn't sure if I would have run away if given the chance... But maybe that's for the best, because, as her eyes met with mine I came to a sudden stop, halting our steps feet from the temple's gates.

"Hey, let's run away together. . .Today"

Turning around and looking at me with open eyes as if that was something she had never expected me to say, she spoke looking me dead in the eyes and changing to a solemn and semi-serious expression as she glanced behind me and then back over to me.

"Let's talk more about this when we get to the Pub, okay"

She said taking me completely serious and not as if I was joking, in which I wasn't, I was serious, I wanted out, and I didn't want to be here anymore.

Because if I stay here then I'm going to die...

And we both knew it. . .

So holding her hand still we left from the gates of the temple and walked a few blocks to a local pub which wasn't that busy this early in the morning.

. . . . .

Entering the pub and walking over to the counter she asked the barkeep something, I wasn't paying much attention as my heart and mind were racing from literally telling her to run away with me earlier.

I mean, we shouldn't have even been there to begin with.

Those people...

looking to my arm which hadn't been wrapped in bandages like my ankle, I remembered something earlier, and it had me thinking and I'm glad I remembered because I know now why I got so hurt when *sudden mind static* ugh, when... When... When... When that girl touched me with her flames.

I'm a...

What was I again?

Spirit maybe??

Ugn, it doesn't matter...

Her flames hurt me so easily because the Sorcerers deal radiant damage, which, we're weak to, me and this girl I'm with, those flames are like the divine powers of a clerk.

So that tournament, that tournament is literally a walking death trap. And I think why she wanted to talk to me here instead of back there at the temple is because she knew it from the start but didn't say anything.

"Hey, want anything specific?" looking over as she said something, I shook my head and she went back to talking to the barkeep, but this time she took a seat at one of the stools in front of us and in turn I sat in the other stool next to her.

Looking around, all the other stools were vacant and there hadn't been many others that were in here other than us, just 3 groups of 4-5 cheerful humanoids.

Sitting there and contemplating what I was going to do...

I soon forgot...

What was I thinking about again?

*Clank*

With the sound of glass hitting the counter in front of us I looked up to see 2 tall mugs with foam dripping down the sides.

They're so big?...

"Ah, this should be a good warm up~"

"Uh... Warm-up?"

Looking at me with this high pride shining up in her, she smiled and repeated, "Warm-up" I take it back this girl might be the death of me. . .

Fuck it.

"What the hell, Let's do this!!"

"That's the spirit!"

. . . . .

After drinking the entire mug of mystery booze *hiccup*... After drinking the entire thingy? She asked me some stuff and I honestly don't remember what I said back to her because holy shit I can't keep my mind straight...

"Are you drunk already? Hah—"

"N-No! Your drunk"

"Then why are you so flustered? Drunky"

"I'm not... Drunky—"

"We haven't even started drinking yet and you're hammered after such a small warm-up, this is truly comical"

"..."

"Light weight~"

"Ugh, Yur so annoying!"

"Haha, this is fun~"

"Hmph!"

"Don't get pouty I'm just messing with ya"

Looking away I crossed my arms and I could hear her laughing. Smirking I was playing for the hell of it too, but she doesn't have to know that~ so puffing my cheek and switching faces again–

"Cheer up, I'll... Hm? I'll give you some candy if you do"

Hearing those magical words, I turned my head so fast and practically gasping as she said something super magical!...

"You have candy!"

Holding back her laughter, she took something wrapped up out of her pocket and "gasp" she truly had some! I feel like a kid with an addiction to it because with that little thing in her hand I sat there with a joyous expression.

"Wow... He's so easy to see through?" She said something under her breath, don't care though, my eyes are glued to the sweet delight I have yet ever to try!

"So, do you want it?"

Shaking my head fast enough to where I got dizzy, she chuckled and put the wrapped ball to her bottom lip.

"But I too want this candy? Hm, let's see should I give it to you, it's my last piece too?"

"Wait you said you'd give it to me! There's no taking it back!"

"I never promised you it?"

"But!–"

"Let's see, maybe you can give me something for it?"

Looking at her as she neared it like she was going to eat it in front of me with the wrapper on, maybe the wrapper was dissolvable? No, forget about that, she was teasing me and looking at myself I then quickly answered back.

"But I don't have anything?!"

With the candy at the tip of her bottom lip, she then pulled it back and into the palm of her hand, "Thats a shame" but then she pointed to her cheek, "But maybe I'm feeling a little generous today since you asked me out to come drinking with you" poking her cheek, "How about instead of something material, like coin which I'd like more of, you just give me a little peck on the cheek and compliment me on what I'm wearing since I took the time to look presentable enough to come out here with you. After that then I'll–"

As she was in the middle of talking, I got out of my seat, and standing there, I stood up on my toes and kissed her despite being a drunken mess.

But after doing that and leaving her speechless, I grabbed the candy from out of her hand and before she could take back what she promised, I popped the little pink ball into my mouth.

Mmm~ So sweet~

"Wait that's not actually candy!" She yelled reaching her hand out and trying to grab me, but I dodged and sat back in my seat, ignoring whatever she said because it was a lie and I'm enjoying the hell out of this.

Sitting there next to me she had a blank face and looking at me she mumbled, "Yeah... So we're not going going to be able to run away today, especially when that drug starts kicking in" she gulped knowing full well that it was her fault for teasing me into thinking that it was candy...

Looking away and over to the barkeep.

She asked him a few things which he answered back to her almost instantaneously and then she ordered 3 blue spirits which were stronger liquors and she drank all these glasses before standing back up and grabbing me by the arm.

"Hiro, we're going to the local baths and then a hotel, got it? Wait what the hell are you doing!"

Looking at me I had one of those blue spirits she ordered and was drinking it. Drinking it, it was super strong and bitter fruity, but tasty and kind of burning my mouth with its strong taste and flavor, but it mixed well with the candy that was now fastly dissolving in my cheek.

Giving me a "what the fuck" look, and watching as I took a big sip of this blue stuff, she then screeched!

"No stop drinking that shit!"

Grabbing it out of my hand, she slammed it on the counter and then grabbed my arm harder, yanking me out of the stool and making me stumble as I couldn't catch myself.

"You dumbass!... You're so screwed..."

"Hey wait I wasn't finished—"

"Yes you are!! No more drinking for you!!!"

Dragging me, I was having trouble walking so she put my arm around her neck and shoulder and she assisted me just like that, more or less dragging me out of there despite me wanting to finish that tasty blue cleaner-like fluid.

. . . . .

A few feet away from the door, the door slammed open and opening it was this angry ginger girl who locked onto us like this was some sort of MMO-RPG, and looking at us she gave off a menacing aura as she got angrier.

Looking at me, she opened her mouth.

"You big fucking lier!"

The ginger shouted and we stopped as 3 redheads blocked the entrance behind her.

"Your name is actually Hiro Natsu of the blue flame branch! How dare the Trash Sorcerer of a lesser family dare lie and deceive me a prominent member of the main family!!!"

Looking at me, the one I came here with then spoke.

"Isn't that the same girl from yesterday?"

And looking back to my friend.

"I have no idea what's going on?"

"Yeah, I get that you drunk ass, I mean, the bitch in front of us, isn't that the same whore Tina and me saw you with?"

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING A WHO–" cutting off whoever said that, I then commented on what she said.

Looking over to the furious ginger and the redheads...

Who the fuck are they?

"I have no fucking idea? Never seen them before"

Hearing that one of them clicked their tongue loudly and the both of us looked at them and as we did the ginger and redheads started approaching, one looked angry, it was the ginger girl, and the 3 redheads all grinned vilely.

"Good"

Not getting what was going on I then watched as she moved her right hand to her side and then lifted it up, slamming it on her thigh; following her action I then heard the scream of a grown man, and looking forward everyone looked to some redheaded man who stabbed himself in the thigh with his own dagger?

"Clark!" a redheaded girl screamed.

Their attention was then thrown to him as he screamed and kneeled, looking back to the girl I was with, she was smiling, and leaning my head on her shoulder, I yawned.

"Can we go? These humans are weird"

Glancing at me as her smile started turning mischievous, it then vanished in an instant as she looked to pretend to not know what happened and she said, "Yeah, these sorcerers are very weird" she must have misheard me or something, this screaming is getting annoying, it's loud, I'm a little tired too, I kinds wanna take a nap now...

Moving her arm to the side of my body, we walked past the redheads and orange and left the scene of whatever that craziness was.

Doing that we walked a block over to a local bathhouse, and when walking in, for some reason after she said a few words to the male worker, we went into the mixed baths area, which was usually used by families with young, I suggested going into separate baths but she insisted since I didn't compliment her back at the pub and took her candy?

Oh yeah... I did, didn't I?

I guess I her owe this then.

Even if it is an odd request?

Yawn. . .I'm tired.

Horny too...
