1003 Words
Whitebolt picked up the white paper. There was a black cross on it. -Is this it? – Thought Whitebolt – This is a Pure Seal? He picked it up and went up the stairs. Maids were nervously waiting for him. -Whitebolt-sama, are you okay? -You look pale, want me to get you some water? -I'm fine. – Answered Whitebolt – I just haven't eaten anything. -We will quickly make the tastiest lunch for you! -That will be great. - Whitebolt smiled. The maids left. Whitebolt started observing the seal. -There's nothing written on it. There's no magic circle, is this even real? I should take it to Harumi before using it on Rekka. Even thought he was hungry, he still walked to the adventurer's guild. He went to the receptionist table. -Whitebolt-san! Are you okay? – Harumi stood on her toes and laid her hand on his face – You seem pale! Come with me. Harumi took him to the staff room and they sat down. She gave Whitebolt something to drink. -What happened? Whitebolt put down the drink. He took out the seal out of his pocket and dropped it on the table. -This happened. Someone gave me a Pure Seal. Harumi took the seal. -This... Isn't a Pure Seal. – She said. She started to get Worried. -What is it then? -This... This... How did you get it? – Harumi started shaking. -I said someone gave it to me. – Whitebolt got annoyed and confused. -No way... This is the... Holy Angel Seal... - She quickly threw it on the table. -The Holy Angel Seal? -Y-yes... This is the... - She nervously gulped – T-the strongest holy seal yet to be found... Whitebolt leaned forward. -If you sell this... You will become one of the richest person in the whole continent. The rarity, there is only one of it. I was found on stage 30 of the... The power it h-holds... -How strong is it!? -It has... LVL 50 holy magic in it. -LVL 50!? – Whitebolt was dumbfounded – I'm stuck on LVL 12 electric magic for nearly a year! – He thought. Harumi stood up and put her hands on the table. -Who gave this to you! WHO! – She was starting to get scared. -Calm down! – Whitebolt stood up too and put his hands on Harumis shoulders. – Calm down. I will explain what happened. -O-okay... - She started to get the sense of things and sat down. Whitebolt told about his encounter with Duster and Maya. -You're lying. -I'm telling the truth. – Said Whitebolt – Can I use this seal on Rekka? -I don't know – Answered Harumi in a frail tone. She couldn't process what was happening. She closed her eyes. When she opened them, she saw unknown man, sitting next to Whitebolt with a thinking pose. Harumi screamed out of fear. Whitebolt looked around and saw Duster right in front of him. -Hello friend! – Duster waved his hand and smiled. -YOU! What are you doing here? – Whitebolt jumped away. Harumi started to get nauseous from his aura. -Of sorry, my bad! – Said Duster and put his hand behind his neck, smiling. -The presence is gone. – Thought Whitebolt. Suddenly, someone barged into the staff room. It was an adventurer. -I felt a strong aura! Who is here! – The adventurer looked around and only saw Whitebolt and Harumi – Oh, it might've been you Whitebolt, sorry to barge in. The staff room wasn't big. There was a food table, board games, water dispenser and a shelf with books. The adventurer left and closed the door. Whitebolt got confused and looked at the couch. Duster was gone. -Anyway, I came here for a reason. – He was leaning on Whitebolts shoulder. Harumi was terrified and started to tear up. She was 19, a year younger than Whitebolt. -Calm down miss! I didn't mean to scare you. Don't worry I'll stop. – He was moving in a goofy way. -What do you need! – Shouted Whitebolt. Duster looked at him with dead eyes and a menacing smile. -Don't talk down on me... Anyways! – He regained his energy – If you wonder if you can use the seal on Rekka, you can! It's totally harmless to humans. -How do you know exactly? – Said Whitebolt. His voice started to shake after that death look. Duster stared at him again. -I know what I'm saying. Now, I must take my goodbye! See you later my friend! – He waved his hand and disappeared in thin air. Whitebolt rushed over to Harumi. She was petrified. -Harumi! Are you okay? Answer me! -I, I. – She couldn't speak out of fear – I think I'm okay. -Thank god! I thought you would get sick from his monstrous presence. Harumi smiled. She was happy about the fact that Whitebolt was worried about her. -Thanks for looking after me, Ken-chan. – She giggled. -I said to you to not call me by that name. – He wasn't angry. He made a kind smile. They sat down and talked for a while. -We haven't had a conversation like this in a such a long time. – Harumis face got red. -Yeah, come visit my mansion once in a while. -I will try! This job is taking too much of my time! – She pouted. -Why not quit? I can support you in every way. Harumi stood up and put his finger on Whitebolts nose. -Because I want to be someone you can depend on. – She cutely giggled. Whitebolt didn't even flinch. -You are always like this, Haru. I guess I will leave. I haven't eaten anything today. Whitebolt said goodbye and left. He started heading towards the mansion with the seal in his pocket. -Haru, I wish I could bring the time back, where we played together as kids. – He looked up in the sky. A cold breeze hit him. He smiled and continued his way.
