After convincing Lai to not splicing Kaito's neck of like a book, he saw that it was almost night and he hadn't seen a piece of food since he came to this weird world, the logical thing he thought do was to ask Lai some food , so he did, "Hey do you have any food on you?" Lai just looked at Kaito with a gaze of disgust and told him " Even if I did have any food why would I give it to you, just look at yourself! you are covered in blood from head to toe!" and then Kaito realized that he was covered in blood, and now he felt disgusted of that, Kaito asked Lai if she had any water on her so he could wash himself, but she just answered back with " Just use some water magic and clean yourself, why do you need my hel-" Then Lai understood why Kaito asked Lai to help him, : You don't know how to use water magic do you?" " You are a winner you got it correct" Kaito said with frown on his face.
Lai just sighed heavily and told Kaito to not a an inch from where he is standing and leaped away with amazing speeds which blew all the leaves away, Kaito then sat down near a big uprooted part of a tree and decided to look at his status, so he said " Gai system open status" many a floating screens came in front of him, he jumped back in astonishment, then read each on of screens one by one, then he saw on one of those screens his skills, that he had acquired and he read them out loud " 'martial arts' is pretty easy enough to understand, 'determination' this skill helps to increase my strength and my speed by 5 points for 30 minutes, 'Stunned Growth'?! I gain experience at a lower rate than other?! but I do earn skills faster and adapt to them quicker that's at least good, and also 'Invincibility' grants me protection from any and all attacks which are aimed at me for 1 second that also sounds us-" "Who are you talking to little brat" Kaito being rudely interrupted by Lai sneaking up on him which made Kaito fall back on his back.
Kaito fired at Lai " When did you get back here?! You came back so quick and can you not see these screens in front of me right now?" "Well of course I can every mercenary, did you hit your head or something because you seem something weird just happened, but I cannot see what's inside those screens because I don't have that skill yet to see other people's status" Kaito was in utter awe of what, Lai just told him, he couldn't people his ears, he asked Lai suddenly getting up close and personal with her " You can see these?! I thought I was the only one that could see this like those fantasy novels!" Lai this time not freaking out by him getting so close just shrugged him away and told him " Well that's what everyone thinks when they see it, I had the same reaction when I saw it *handing him a piece cooked wolf meat* lets get out of here as fast as we could and then we can go our own ways, because if I disappear for too long people will worry about me" Kaito was in a trance like state for a while while eating the meat and he asked her "Then when are we heading out cause I want to get out of these woods as fast as possible" "We will be leaving as soon as morning strikes lets sleep for now' answered Lai, they then fell asleep quite quick as they were both tired, the next morning Lai was struck with splash of water on her face which made her jump out like a bug and standing to fight but she did not seem threatening.
"Wake up sleepy head it's morning are your people not waiting for you now?!" Said Kaito with an annoyed tone, "You could have just called out my name and I would have woken up! you didn't have to splash water on my face you know!" Lai protested back to Kaito, Kaito now mildly angry said back "Well trust me I tried but you wouldn't even move! , can you get moving because I want to take a good bath because I feel sticky and I want to get out of this dumb forest" Lai then steeling her resolve, she got ready to head out of these woods, Lai gave Kaito some extra rations for his journey towards a new town, they started their journey as soon as Lai cooked some extra food, they went on and on through the woods it took them approximately half a day to get to the edge of the forest Kaito and Lai had to team up and fight all the monsters that came in their way, most of the fighting was done by Lai as Kaito was still very weak to fight any of them so he just hid behind some trees while Lai fought like a coward, when they reached Kaito spoke up " It's been half a day lets rest now you must be tired fighting all those monsters, because I sure am tired from all that walking" Lai looked at Kaito in disappointment " Yea I am tired why wouldn't I was the only one who fought, and fair warning never come into these woods again because they soon will be my territory." Kaito just agreed with her and set up camp and cooked some food for the both of them, the next morning they got up, having to splash Lai with water again, they closed up camp together and they got ready to leave, before they left L:ai said while smiling "May we meet again soon brat?" " My names Kaito by the way not brat, and yea hope we meet again soon" and they left with a short goodbye, but little did Kaito and Lai knew they would meet again soon enough
As they were parting ways Kaito was left alone again with no way of knowing where he was headed so he thought to himself,"In these kinds of situations I should just follow the road the and hope it leads me to a town or something along those lines, let me check if I have a skill that makes me run faster, Ummmm.... Aha! 'Sprint' makes me run faster on the cost of my stamina running out faster rate then normal but what can we do I have to do this, Skill activate 'Sprint'!" Just a moment later Kaito was running faster than he ever thought was possible for himself!
He ran for almost an hour he was so exhausted by all of that running that he just collapsed on the road, he laid there for a solid 5 minutes till a wagon with a merchant inside asked him "Umm.. sir do you want a ride to the Capital city of Lasmonia ?" " No thank you I have no money to give you sadly, you will have to go ahead without me sir" said Kaito whike trying to get back on feet again, the mercent just chuckled at him and said :You don't have to pay me any money sir, I will be grateful to give you a ride, I am Uas Gath, a travling merchant you see, and it would be no trouble for me at all, trust me." Kaito looked on with curious eyes, but he caved in and sat in the wagon of Uas and they headed off to the capital.
'Say why did you help me Uas, you don't people like you nowadays, I am Kaito by the way you can call me Kai for short if you want to that is." Kaito said in a sleepy tone, Uas just chuckled again and said " Mister Kai you are safe in my wagon, I will tell you when gte there you can rest you seem like you ran for a hour straight." "What ever could you mean Uas you might be cra-" before he could finish he was knocked asleep, it seemed that Kai had a habit of sleeping right before he copuld finish his sentences.
"Mister Kai, Hello?, Mister Kai you still with me? we have reached our loction Sir, you would have to get of because I still need to make money Mister" Kai had been woken up Usa, he then slowly got up and looked outside to see a big gate, with two big guards, as he was entering into the Capital, Kai then asked "Where are we again I forgot?" " We are in the Capital city of Lasmonia,it was pleasure to escort you till here Kai" said Uas,then Kai slowly got off the wagon and thanked Uas for the help he provided, as Kai was walking through the capital he real;ized that he didn't know anyone here expect of Lai and Uas as for now, then he was struck with a thought "Didn't Lai mention something about being the heir of some country?" Then he understood he had just steped into the Captial City of which would be in comand of Lai in the near future, after this thought he quickly thought to leave the Capital as he didn't want to be in the Mercy of as Kai says it "The Befalled Witch", but as he was about to turn around and leave the Capital he heard a familir voice "Who are you calling a Witch you insolent rascle, since now you are in my town you are in my mercy, so I can do anything I want with you know, best of luck getting through Kai' It was Lai from the shadows she had just reached the Capital mere moments before he reached, Kai knew this would be trouble as he knew better than anyone, how much of a annoying piece of a person she could be, so he made his final chance was to leave as fast as he could, but he was stopped, it was the two big guards at the gate, they told Kai "Lady Lai has told us to to let you leave the Capital until, Lady Lai allows you to." Kai knew he couln't do anything to the guards, so he just clamly went to one of the benchs near by and thought "Dame you Lai, Now I have no other choice but to stay here I will get my revenge!!" he thought of this while being on the edge of cryin, and he knew he couldn't do anything to the 'Lady of the Capital' so he quckly gave up on the act of revenge, just as quick he thought of it.
