"What happened?" Though Noah.
"Brothesh?" Hope woked up as well.
"Listen, princess, no matter what you heard, don't come out!"
"B-But-"
"There is no time!"
Noah closed the small house and walked slowly towards the body. When Noah looked closely, he saw a woman with red hair dressed in black.
"Is-is she dead?" Though Noah.
He put his fingers near his nose.
Noah felt relieved that the woman was still breathing.
"WHERE IS SHE!?"
"FIND HER!"
Noah heard shouts from the street.
He panicked.
"If they find her here, they wouldn't want any witness" Thought Noah.
Noah grabbed the woman's body and, with great effort, threw her inside the can trash.
"Please don't come here, please don't come here" Begged Noah.
He entered the small house and tightly closed his eyes while hugging hope.
"..." Hope looked at his trembling brother and hugged him back as well.
"..."
Noah heard footsteps coming his way.
*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
He felt his own heart race.
"..."
After some seconds, Noah stopped hearing noises. But just in case he stood in the house without moving for 10 more minutes.
After ten minutes of not moving, Noah sighed once more.
"First coming to an unknown world, and now a witness of a murder intent..."
"Did I woke up with the left foot or what?"
Noah went out of his small house and opened the trash can.
"Mmm..."
He heard a small sound coming from it.
He took out the woman inside.
"No, more than calling her a woman, it should be a lady... she looks like she is 17 at most..."
"Who... who are... you?" Asked the lady faintly.
"Just an unlucky child"
"Stay still the wound would open"
Noah took out a small bottle of water from his house.
"The last bottle as well..." Sighed Noah.
He put some of it on the wound of the lady to disinfect it.
"Ugh..."
"I know that it hurts but deal with it"
Noah then tear off a piece of his clothes and used it as a bandage.
"Here we go, it won't heal you but at least will stop the blood for some time" Said Noah.
"You need to go to a doctor, fast"
The lady looked a bit better but she still had a hard time to stood up.
"Look... into my... breast" Said the young lady.
"... Excuse me...?"
"In my breast... there is a small... pill..."
Maybe because Noah was a small child, the lady didn't think it was weird at all.
"..." But for our 28-year-old protagonist, it was awkward to search in the breast of an unknown woman he just met!
"Hurry..."
Noah took a deep breath.
An searched in the breast of the lady, there he found a small bottle.
"Here you go" Noah put the pill in the mouth of the young lady
In an instant, the body of the young lady was covered in a green aura.
Her body began to heal, not too fast though but still.
"Healing magic..." Though Noah.
After a few minutes, the young lady finally managed to stand up slowly.
"Are you... feeling better?" Asked Noah.
"Yes"
"That's good" Said Noah.
"..."
Noah noticed that the young lady was looking at him with detail.
Noah looked back and saw that little hope was looking at him.
"Hey, little princess, good job at hiding" Said Noah while patting his sister.
"Brothesh, who?" Said Hope while signaling the young lady.
"She is..."
"April"
"Yes, she is April"
"I don't like" Said Hope.
"Don't say that, she is a magician..." Though Noah.
"Go inside princess"
"Brothesh?"
"I will go in a minute"
"Muuu..."
Hope gave April a dissatisfied look.
"MY brothesh"
"Not yours"
"Hope's brothesh!"
"What are you saying, go inside" Said Noah.
Noah sweat cold, in this world, magicians could even kill nobles.
And he was just a little street boy.
"I am sorry, my sister is still small" Said Noah.
"Ok" Said April.
Both stood in silence for some minutes.
"Miss April"
"April"
"No, but..."
"April"
"...Sure, whatever, April-"
"You?"
"Ah, Noah"
"Just Noah?"
"No, but that's not impor-"
"..."
Noah's eyes twitched a little.
"Noah Northerlights"
"I see" Said April.
"April, I don't want to sound rude but those guys that were after you should still be nearby, you have to hide fast" Said Noah.
"And don't involve me in this" He thought.
"You are right-"
"So this is where you were hiding"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted April, Noah turned around and saw a well-dressed man with black hair.
"April Ravenhood, you sure are... persistent"
"Leonardor... when master heard of this, not only you but all the Hydrid house will have their days count" Said April with hate.
"And who will tell him? That little beggar?"
April covered Noah.
"He doesn't have anything to do with this" Said April.
"Come on April, you should know me better than that, when I do my job, I do it... efficiently" Said Leonardo.
"Don't use your filthy mouth to said my name"
"Haha, as always, the ice queen should live up to her name" Said Leonardo with a laugh.
Leonardo closed his eyes and began to chant something in a strange language.
"[Lighthing vortex]!"
From his hands, lighting bolts shoot towards April and Noah!
April also began to chant and her whole body was engulfed in a scarlet aura.
"[Flame Sagita]"
With great speed, she propelled her body towards Leonardo, the lighting bolts impacted her body and the flames devoured them.
"[Lighting wall]!"
Leonardo's body also was engulfed by lighting.
Both powers collided and the alley was covered in flames and thunderbolts!
"We have to get out of here!"
Noah grabbed Hope and the black book and run to the opposite side.
"Don't let him escape!" Shouted Leonardo
In front of Noah, three persons appeared, dressed just like Leonardo.
"KILL THEM!"
"Leonardo, you scum!!" Shouted April.
She wanted to help Noah, however, she was trapped by the lighting bolts of Leonardo!
The three persons smiled and launched lightning bolts towards Noah and Hope!
Noah covered Hope with his body.
He received the impact of all the lighting bolts!
"NO!" Shouted April.
"Brothesh!"
