Meme Tiny glared at the four guys who were currently beating the young boy. I guess he is between the ages of 9-11 years old. I know that Meme badly wants to help the boy... I can feel the urge to be angry too.
"It's time to make a show, Meme." I really want to jump out and beat those guys by myself, but I can't do it without Meme's permission.
Meme Tiny was about to jump down from the horse when, "Don't, let me handle it." Bryce immediately jumped down from his horse.
Meme looked at Bryce with sulking eyes. She slowly closed her right arm's fist. "Fine!" Meme exclaimed and rolled her eyes.
"Stay away from trouble." Something that came out of Bryce's lips before he started walking towards the group of 4 guys who were currently beating a pity boy.
The little boy was held by the 1st and 2nd guy on his left and right arms. The third guy, who seems to be the leader of their g**g, is punching the little boy mercilessly. The 4th guy was just watching with a smile on his face behind the situation. They seem to be enjoying what they are doing to the little boy.
"Stop that!" Bryce shouted in front of the four guys, but it seemed like they didn't hear him. The third guy continues to kick and punch the little boy.
Meme Tiny couldn't just watch anymore because of irritation. She jumped down from the horse and took a flower vase that an old woman was selling. "Let me borrow it," Meme said.
Meme Tiny immediately throws the flower vase into the back of the third guy who is currently punching the little boy. The third guy plopped to the ground because of the strong force that Meme exerted when she threw the vase.
The 1st and second guys looked at Meme angrily. Their eyes were glaring while still holding the little boy on his shoulders. The 4th guy immediately offered a hand to the 3rd guy to stand up, but the 3rd guy rejected his help.
The third guy slowly stands up. There's blood at the right edge of his lips. He immediately wiped the blood with his right hand's thumb finger. Then, he looked at his thumb. Seeing the blood, he immediately turned to look at Meme.
"This is f*ck! How dare you hit me with a vase?" He slowly closed his fist with his eyes flaming in anger. "I'm not going to let you go, even if you're a girl," he added.
The third guy took some steps towards Meme, but Bryce immediately came into the scene. Bryce held onto his left shoulder while the thrift guy quickly looked back.
The third guy immediately tried to punch Bryce with his right fist, but Bryce had escaped from it. The third guy lost his balance and almost fell off because of the strong force he exerted with his punch, but missed the target.
Bryce smiled, "Want a fight?" He was mocking the guy.
"Beat him!" the 3rd guy shouted. The first and second guys immediately let go of the little boy, pushing him to the ground.
Then, the 3 guys followed the order of their leader. The fourth guy goes first. He ran towards Bryce and tried to punch him, but all of his punches missed. After 7 consecutive punches, Bryce simply kicked his tummy, which caused him to fall on the table of the vase's seller.
The eyes of the 3rd guy widened. "Beat him!" he shouted in anger.
The first and second guys immediately attacked Bryce. Yet, all of their punches didn't hit Bryce.
Until Bryce started to fight back. He punched the first guy on his stomach five times and finally punched his chin, which made the guy spit blood. Bryce immediately kicked the 2nd guy on his *ss when he tried to punch Bryce from the back.
Seeing what just happened, the third guy who acted as the leader of these troublemakers looked scared now. He immediately ran, leaving his companions who are now suffering from the pain.
"Hey, wait for us." And the 3 crippled guys started to follow their leader.
The little boy was now in the corner of a restaurant's wall, looking so scared. Bryce walked towards him, but the little boy seemed scared of him too.
Meme was about to walk towards the little boy too, but the old woman called our attention. "Where do you think you're going? You have to pay for all of the damage you cause here. Not just with my table and vases, but also them." She pointed to the other sellers around her whose tables of their products were messed up too.
Meme took her pocket and put it on the old woman's table. "Pay all the damage here, and what's left is all yours." After saying it, Meme immediately walked towards Bryce, who was now talking with the little boy.
With a glance, I found the woman's eyes widened as she opened the pocket which Meme gave to her. Of course, it is not just silver but full of gold coins.
On the other hand, the people who have been watching the fight lately have already gone back to their own business. The sellers have started to fix their damaged products and display them too.
"Are you alright?" Meme asks the boy. The boy immediately hid himself at the back of Bryce.
Bryce turned around to face the little boy. "Don't be scared of her, she's a friend." But the boy keeps on hiding at the back of Bryce.
"She is covering her face. If she's a friend, she will remove that kerchief and not hide," the boy said.
"Her face isn't that beautiful. That's why she's covering it. The cover makes her comfortable. Do you understand?" Bryce tried to talk to the child.
"Did you hear that Meme? Bryce said that you are not beautiful. Haha!" I laughed loudly inside her. However, Meme didn't mind what I said.
"Don't be scared of me. I won't hurt you." Meme tried to get closer to the little boy. "Do you want some food?" She asked.
After asking the little boy if he wanted some food, his eyes glittered. Then a sound from his stomach came out, which made Meme smile.
"Let's get inside the restaurant." Meme started to walk towards the door of the restaurant while Bryce convinced the boy to follow.
"Don't be afraid or ashamed. Let's follow my friend." Bryce held the left hand of the boy and they followed Meme Tiny.
A few moments later,...
Meme Tiny was already sitting at the table full of food with Bryce and the little boy. The little boy just put food in his mouth and directly swallowed it without chewing it. He seems so hungry and hasn't eaten for many days. It's like he is racing and is scared that someone will take his food too.
"Don't be in a hurry, you might choke on food. Don't worry, that's all yours." Meme smiled while the boy just smiled at her and continued eating.
"I am Fika and he is Bryce. May I know your name now?" Meme asked. Fika is the name we use if we go out of the palace or the warrior's camp without permission.
"Muromohomhmnn!" the little boy replied, but we couldn't understand it because his mouth was full of food.
"Don't speak when your mouth is full." Bryce took a spoonful of Kan-on and put it in his mouth. Kan-on is a food that looks like rice in the Kingdom of Minime.
