First Journey

"So, what's the plan now?" Martin asked Oscar.

"Now, we gonna have to gather some supplies for further travelling!" Oscar said.

"Then let's go!" Martin exclaimed. And then starts walking towards the opposite way.

"Where are you going?" Arin asked.

"As Oscar said, to gather some supplies!" Martin replied.

"I think this guy is taking his Captain's orders too seriously!" Arin said to himself.

Arin then turns around towards Oscar, to see that he was already looking at him and he was smiling with his teeth's out.

"Now, what happened?" Arin was surprised, he knew that Oscar might now ask him some dumb things.

"Let's go to gather some food supplies!" Oscar said.

"I know you would definitely say that!" Arin added and then starts walking towards his home.

"Where are you going? Abi or Aji? What the hell is your name?" Martin calls out to Arin.

Arin quickly turns back to Martin and replied to him yelling, "Half Brain! My name is Arin Bold. How can you forget so quickly?"

"Actually, it wasn't important to be remembered!" Martin replied.

"Hey Oscar, your Vice Captain is more than of Idiot like you!" Arin looks at Oscar and said.

Oscar didn't said anything, but he bursts out into a loud laughter.

Arin turns around again and said to himself, "They have the same level of Dumbness!"

"Hey Bold! You didn't answered, where are you going?" Martin asked.

Arin again turns back and said, "We are moving back to my home now."

"Okay. Then, I am going back to my Master's house!" Martin said, "By the way Oscar, are going with Bold or coming with me?"

Oscar looks at Arin and then said to Martin, "Martin, meet at the wholesale store tomorrow morning by 10 o'clock."

"Okay Captain!" Martin replied and then walks off to his Master's house which is at the Southern Side of the town. Oscar and Arin walks off straight while Martin walks off to their left side.

As they were walking to Arin's home, Oscar felt a sense of excitement and anticipation.

"You seem very excited!" Arin looked at Oscar's face said to him.

"Obviously!" Oscar replies with a smile, "After all, my dream is going to be true!"

"I am very happy to hear that, but I would still say that the route won't be an easy one." Arin added.

"I know but with my team together we would face whatever dangers lay ahead and would emerge victorious." Oscar replied.

"Oi! Don't forget that you still haven't got a team yet!" Arin said.

"Okay! Now let's get back, I am very hungry!" Oscar added.

"What?" Arin said, "You just had some meal in the restaurant!"

"Come on! We had been talking for the last one hour!" Oscar said.

"Really?" Arin said.

Both of them kept walking towards Arin's home, with the sun setting in the Western sky of Eliliya Town.

Next morning, Arin and Oscar were waiting outside a small garage in the main market area of the town. They were waiting for Martin to arrive.

"Do you really think?" Arin asked to Oscar.

"What?" Oscar asked.

"That Martin would really join your team!" Arin said.

"Didn't you heard yesterday, he has promised that he would join my team!" Oscar replied.

"You don't even…" Arin added.

"Hey, Martin's coming this way!" Oscar was looking to his left side watching Martin approaching towards them. He wearing an white t-shirt and a green pants, and was carrying a bag on his back.

"He is coming with full packing!" Arin added.

"Yeah! You are right." Oscar was smiling.

"What are you guys doing outside this garage?" Martin asked to both Arin and Oscar, when he had reached to them.

"We are here to buy a small car at a cheap price!" Oscar added.

"Do you even have money for that!" Martin asked.

"Don't worry Arin will pay for it!" Oscar turns to Arin and replied.

Martin rolls his eyes towards Arin and asked, "You are really paying?"

"I don't have any option left!" Arin replied.

Martin starts laughing loudly.

The garage owner noticed that Arin and Oscar were joined by that another guy who was mentioned by Arin.

"Hey, Arin. So your third partner has finally arrived!" The owner asked. He was an elderly man with long white hair and few beards over his face with an height of 5.8 feet and wearing a green color cloth.

"Yes Mr. Ushiakawa!" Arin turned to the owner and replied.

"Hey, aren't you Katakuri Ushiakawa?" Martin asked the old man.

"Yeah!" Ushiakawa replied.

"Hey Martin. Do you know Mr. Ushiakawa?" Arin asked.

"I have just heard about you from the people of this town." Martin said, "That you sell old repaired cars at cheap price."

"Yeah! That's true." Mr. Ushiakawa starts laughing, "I have been in this business for the last 30 years."

"Nice!" Oscar was very much excited.

"Okay. Now come inside and take a look upon the car's!" Mr. Ushiakawa said.

Arin and Oscar went inside to take a look on the car's. Mr. Ushiakawa after guiding them inside, comes out of the garage to notice that Martin was standing outside.

"You didn't went in!" Mr. Ushiakawa asked to Martin.

"Nah! I am fine outside." Martin added.

"So, where are you guys going with the car?" Mr. Ushiakawa picks up a hammer from the ground and asked to him.

"Oscar wants to find the Horizon Orb. It's his dream to become an Explorer!" Martin said.

"And you might be his new teammate. Huh!?" Mr. Ushiakawa added.

"He says that I am his first teammate!" Martin said.

"Arin's not in the team!" Mr. Ushiakawa starts laughing again.

"This guy really seems different, that's why I had decided to join him!" Martin states.

"I can also feel the determination in him!" Mr. Ushiakawa turns to Arin and Oscar inside the garage. They were arguing over a car inside.

"Why I can't get this car?" Oscar shouts at Arin.

"Because it's too expensive!" Arin shouts back at him.

Martin upon noticing them again starts laughing, he stood outside the garage while Arin and Oscar kept arguing over that single car, which he wants to purchase.

Mr. Ushiakawa went back inside to Arin and Oscar, to stop their argument, "Oi Oi! You two, stop arguing! What's the matter?"

"This car has clearly got a price tag of 5000 Arnits written on the board! And I have just 5000 left, and even with this money, I have to get some supplies for this idiot!" Arin said to Mr. Ushiakawa.

"Okay!" Mr. Ushiakawa added, "You can have the car in just 4000! Now happy!?"

"Are you sure Mr. Ushiakawa!" Oscar was too much happy. He and Arin had started dancing inside the garage.

Mr. Ushiakawa was laughing loudly watching them while Martin was smiling from outside the garage.

Arin takes out two 5000 Arnit and one 2000 Arnit note and hands it over to Mr. Ushiakawa.

"Okay! I will get the car ready while you guys buy some supplies!" Mr. Ushiakawa added, after taking the money.

"Thank you, Old Man!" Oscar greeted him.

Mr. Ushiakawa being behind the wheel, had taken out the car from the garage successfully and then he had started adjusting the mirrors and checking the dashboard for Oscar and Martin.

"Alright, let's get moving," Martin said turning to Oscar, after they had brought some supplies from a wholesale store nearby that garage, "We've got a long way to go before we reach the forest and then the next town!"

Oscar nodded, he picks up two bags of supplies and starts moving to their car. Arin was also carrying two bags of supplies, while Martin was carrying a barrel full of water on his back.

After reaching to the garage, Oscar puts up the bags on the ground and then climbs into the car, sitting in the front passenger seat.

Martin puts the bags inside the car in the back seat. With the barrel in the trunk of the car.

Arin shakes hand with him, "Both of you are my friend after all!"

"See you in the future boys!" Mr. Ushiakawa added.

"Hey old man! I will definitely buy the garage from you one day!" Oscar added. He was inside the car.

"Let's see!" Mr. Ushiakawa starts laughing.

Martin also gets into the car and then they set off, Martin expertly navigating through the winding roads and rolling hills of the countryside. Oscar chatted excitedly, discussing their plans and preparations for the journey ahead.

After driving for about two hours through the plain lands, Martin started to ask questions. "So, what's the name of our group?" he asked, glancing at Oscar who was looking at the scenery through the window by getting his head out of it.

Oscar hesitated, realizing that they hadn't actually come up with a name for their group. "Uh, well, I haven't actually decided on a name yet," he admitted.

Martin raised an eyebrow. "You haven't decided on a name? That's not very impressive. What about the other members of our group?"

Oscar felt a twinge of embarrassment. "Well, at first let's get to the next town or village. I hope that we will be able to recruit more members as we go along."

"Okay. What's the name of the next location?" Martin asked.

"I don't know!" Oscar said.

"Look at the map then!" Martin added.

"You have got a map?" Oscar asked.

"Yeah! I have brought it from a store next to that wholesale store in the market." Martin replied.

"Where did you kept it?" Oscar asked.

"Check it in my personal bag. I might have kept it there!" Martin added.

Oscar extends out his hand to grab the bag from the back seat, after getting it he checked for the map and after getting it he quickly checks for the location of the next place.

"Hey, the place we are driving through is called Marki Field! Do you know about that?" Oscar asked to Martin, his face was covered by the map.

"Never heard of it!" Martin added, "What's the name of the next town?"

"It's written Herein Town." Oscar said, "It is about 15km from here."

"Then we will reach there before the sun sets!" Martin announced.
