Chapter 23: The first companions

The sister couldn't believe that a boy who looked like a five to seven year old boy can bargain to a sister who was at the age of thirteen was being driven into a corner by a little boy.

"A-ahem, first of all you have only meet one of the requirements you did pay the right amount of money... but you also need to sign an agreement"

"Then let me see the agreement then"

"W-what?!"

All three of them from sister Maria, Paul to Lisa they all exclaimed it's as if all of them couldn't believe that a small kid could ever read.

"Eh..? what's wrong?"

"You... do you even know how to read*

"You brat even I can't read at my age, I can even barely spell my name and you pretending to be able to read-"

"Wow! As expected of Nyx! you almost know everything... but... are you sure your gonna buy us... I mean"

"I'm not gonna buy you, I'm gonna buy your freedom to be exact, I've studied from my father's book and I know 2 gold coins is already enough for a single person to live for a five to ten years!"

"F-five to ten year..? brat don't lie to us what could a measly 2 gold coins possibly buy haha-"

"Well... Paul, if you have a gold coin then you can practically buy a land of your own but it won't be big and the other gild coin you can buy livestock's to breed and earn your own money, so it can buy almost everything that a single person need..."

"What..?!",'If I ever had that kind of money... then, but why would he insist on using the money to buy us...'

"Is... is that true sister Lisa, if... if Nyx buy us then wouldn't it be a waste..."

Lisa looked down on herself as if she thought it would only be a waste of money to buy them, but Nyx didn't agree the fact that a rare physique shown up is enough for a kingdom to be turned upside down in an instant.

"It's not a waste really, I just want to help you"

"Why..? why do you insist on that..."

"Yeah, why exactly most nobles would just treat us as pigs"

"HAHAHA, pigs? only uneducated people do those things, because it's for their own self satisfaction to see that they really are not the same with the commoners and treat them that way... but I'm different, you insist on saying I'm a noble but, I never was one I only had money because I used my head instead of using ones ego, what would you get even if you have the status of a noble but a brain of cricket... then I'm gonna ask you, give a chance to prove my self then you can decide wether you'll follow me or not...", 'If I do this then I'm sure Lisa will agree so will the older kids like Paul to keep Lisa safe as his excuse and the other girl that is almost at the same age as them would follow with the same reason as Paul'

"H-head..? brain of a cricket?"

Meanwhile Lisa has already decided the moment she heard Nyx's ideals.

"I decided, sister Lisa let's give Nyx a chance and see if he really does do what he says then... let him buy us, I beg of you sister Maria... Please let us for our selves"

"Haiz... you kids I was watching you three talk this out, but unexpectedly I was the one who was actually talk into trusting you kids..."

"Hahaha, then it's decided tomorrow I'm gonna let you see how I'll earn money in a few days, because tonight the there will be a village feast and I'm sure my father will be the one to lead all the guards and hunters... because he is the one who is the most excited at eating a magical beast meat... haha"

"A village feast..?!"

"O-oh right... we also came here to tell you this... but, but I never thought it come to this, I'm sorry sister Maria..."

"A village feast? cheh! it would probably only be the adults to participate, and what's more it's a magical beast meat which the hunters hunt... in the past the hunters usually give us a share but now they don't even think about us anymore!"

"Paul! don't be rude, they also have a family to take care so..."

"Yeah... Paul sister Maria is alright, and what's more the magical beast meat this time will last the whole village... for a whole month or two..."

"A whole month or two??! Lisa are you sure about this?!"

"Mmmn..."

Lisa just nodded while Paul was quite annoyed that even Lisa didn't back him up, cheh,! this is all this guys fault!

"Well let's stop it at that... for now Umm... sister..?"

"Oh, you can just call me sister Maria"

With a bright smile sister Maria said those line to Nyx, but she thought if this kid is really good or bad she can't know only the god would know about the children's fate.

"Uhmm... can you call all the kids now we should eat I bought some roasted porks and chicken with Lisa while coming back here"

"Ahem, thank you for that Nyx... right?"

"Ah! yes, just call me Nyx sister Maria"

"Lisa, Paul call the children's back here we shouldn't let this grace from god go to waste."

"Sure, sure"

"Y-yes sister Maria... and..."

"Uhmm... Thank you so much Nyx... for letting us eat this food you are about to share to us..."

"It's alright really food are meant to be eaten to begin with"

"Mmmn"

Lisa nodded while Paul put his arms back in his head walking like a rebellious kid.

"Hey, Ayesha get the kids out were gonna eat"

"E-eat..? B-but sister Sophia isn't here yet..."

"Cheh! that sister isn't trust worthy"

"Uhmm... don't fight over this again, Ayesha it's true we have a guest today so we should all eat together with him"

"A guest?"

"Yeah... he may even be our first time ever friend that doesn't judge us of our current status"
