Chapter 21: Sakolomé's new friend.
Yesterday, Sakolomé had a strange encounter.
A slightly strange girl in his training place.
Today he is supposed to visit her.
They arranged to meet at the same place.
Sakolomé seems in a hurry this morning and this intrigues Amu.
Amu: Sakolomé, where are you going so excited this morning? And what did you put in this bag?
Indeed, Sakolomé had filled a bag that he was holding in his hand, with a lot of things.
Sakolomé: I'm going to spend the day at the training place, see you later!
Salomé also intervenes.
Salomé: I want to come and train too!
Amu: Oh no, you're lacking energy and mana, you need to rest, luckily my potion gives you enough physical energy to be able to move!
Salomé: But...mom!!!
Amu: No, you're not going anywhere!
Sakolomé smiles as he watches what's happening.
Amu: Go on Sakolomé, see you tonight!
Sakolomé: See you tonight mom!!
Sakolomé leaves the house and flies away straight away.
He's smiling and eager to learn more about this mysterious girl.
After a 10-minute journey, he finally arrives and lands on the ground.
Sakolomé: Hey, is anyone there?!
No answer.
Sakolomé starts looking everywhere but still doesn't see anyone.
Sakolomé: But where could she have gone?
Sakolomé sits on the ground for a moment and thinks.
Sakolomé: In the end she didn't keep her promise, or maybe... I'll wait a little longer.
Sakolomé gets up and does a few push-ups.
Time passes and still no one. It's now 1 p.m. and Sakolomé already seems a little disappointed.
He looks at the bag he brought and sighs.
Sakolomé: It was to be expected, a person you come across like that and who doesn't even have any parents....
_ Hey killer man!!!!
Shouts a voice that Sakolomé seems to know.
Sakolomé: Is that her?!
He looks up where this voice was coming from and finally sees the young girl standing on a hill.
She waves at him.
Sakolomé smiles.
Sakolomé: ah you're there!!
The girl slowly descends the hill, being careful not to fall.
She finishes descending and walks towards Sakolomé.
_ You kept your promise, killer man!!!
She said with a radiant smile.
Sakolomé: I've been here since a few hours ago, I'd like to know where you've been!
_ It's just that yesterday I was very hungry, I went to a mango tree that I saw in the previous days, on the way I slept there.
Sakolomé: Hmm... I see!
Sakolomé walks towards her bag on the ground and lifts it up.
Sakolomé: I brought you some things!
_ Oh... really and what is it?!
She said intrigued.
Sakolomé smiles and answers.
Sakolome: Food and new clothes!
The girl is dazzled.
_ really? That's so nice!!!
She approaches Sakolomé and says.
_ Show me I want to see!!!
Sakolomé takes out everything that is in the bag.
There was food made by Amu, water and also an outfit like Sakolomé's.
Sakolomé: I'm sorry for the outfit, it's the only one that fits you because my little sister's is too small..
_ How do you find me?!
Asks the girl.
Sakolomé looks up and looks at her.
He is first surprised because he doesn't know when she changed. She had worn Sakolomé's outfit and was radiant.
Sakolomé: Wow, you're fast, but I think it suits you perfectly!
The girl smiles.
_ thank you, I thought it made me look a bit big since it was a boy's outfit!
Sakolomé: Actually it's not specifically for boys since it's a set like a sports outfit!
The girl blushed for a moment.
Sakolomé: uh... what's wrong?!
_ I... I... I can taste the food you brought me?!
Sakolomé: haha, of course you didn't even need to ask, this food is yours, it belongs to you, enjoy!
The girl smiles and picks up a dish that she unwraps from its packaging.
She looks and is carried away by the good smell that came out of it.
_ It looks good to me!!
Sakolomé: it is, my mother is very good at cooking!
Sakolomé and the girl sit down and the girl starts eating her food.
_ Huuummm... it's too delicious!!!
Sakolomé: Haha, isn't it?
A moment of silence is felt.
The girl tasting the food that Sakolomé brought her did not let herself be distracted and Sakolomé did not want to disturb her.
She finishes her dish and takes some water which she drinks afterwards.
_ Aaaahhhh, it was really delicious!!
She said while being full and happy.
She turns to Sakolomé.
_ Hey, killer man, can you come accompany me for a moment to the river below?!
Sakolomé: Uh...yes no worries!!
Sakolomé gets up and asks again.
Sakolomé: We're taking the stuff with us, they can't stay here!
The girl replies.
_ Don't worry, nothing is going to touch this bag!
Sakolomé is not convinced.
Sakolomé: As a precaution, I prefer to take it with us!
Sakolomé lifts the bag and puts it on his back.
The girl and Sakolomé start walking towards the river.
Sakolomé: I have a question?!
The girl looks at him.
Sakolomé: What are you planning to do near this river?!
The girl smiles and replies.
_ it's a surprise!
Sakolomé (surprised): Huh? A surprise for me?
_ haha, maybe, we'll see!
After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrive at the river.
It wasn't really a river, but a large river that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.
Sakolomé looks and is carried away by the beauty of the landscape, there was greenery everywhere and in the distance, the lake was illuminated at the top by a beautiful orange sun.
Sakolomé is so fascinated that he didn't realize that he was starting to smile.
_ Hey, Killer man, why are you smiling?
Asks the girl.
Sakolomé comes out of his wonder.
Sakolomé: Ah...sorry I was fascinated by the landscape.
The girl comes closer and smiles.
_ Indeed, the landscape is magnificent!
Sakolomé answers with a smile and looks at the landscape again.
Sakolomé: I never thought it was this beautiful here before....
While he was talking, the girl approached him slyly and discreetly, the latter was so focused on his speech that he didn't see her approach him.
Sakolomé: ...by the way, did you know that....
Without finishing his sentence, Sakolomé was suddenly pushed into the river by the girl.
Sakolomé: What are you...!!!
In surprise and without understanding, Sakolomé found himself completely submerged in the river.
The girl on the surface was laughing out loud.
Sakolomé took his head out of the water and looked at the girl with an angry look.
Sakolomé: What's gotten into you? Have you gone completely crazy?!
He was screaming.
The girl also throws herself into the river and lands suddenly on Sakolomé who sees himself going back to the bottom of the water.
Sakolomé pops his head out of the water again as does the girl.
Sakolomé: What are you doing?!
The girl answers.
_ Don't you find it funny?!
Sakolomé: What's funny?!
_ Oh... just looking at the river is super boring, I prefer that we swim in it!
The girl starts swimming in the opposite direction to Sakolomé.
_ Try to catch me if you can!!!
She said in a provocative tone as she moved away.
Sakolomé smiled and said.
Sakolomé: Very well, you'll see!!!
Sakolomé then swam in the direction of the girl who was moving away.
They spent time having fun in the river, not even seeing the time pass.
