Chapter 21: The two friends
The liquid that was covering the arrow was poison that could kill anything living or dead... But since the people who used it on Hajime had no intentions of killing anyone. They weakened the poison just enough to knock anyone on conscience.
A moment later, after the poison had completely taken its effects. Two people appeared behind some trees, each carrying a bow.
Their faces unclear, and one of the wore armor dressed in silver chains.
The armor looked similar to the ones the imperial knights wore. The only difference was the chains. The imperial knight’s armor had no chains on them, and their armor had no silver.
"It’s just a kid." One of them said as their approached.
"It’s better than nothing." The other replied as he grabs the arrow on Hajime and starts to pull it out.
"I guess... But can’t we just leave him here and look for some more... I mean, look at him. will he even sell at a good price?" The first one said as he turned looking at the direction Hajime had appeared from.
The other turned as he carries Hajime off the ground while the arrow, he pulled out of him in his hands.
"...No, and no. You know why?"
He starts to move away from where his friend was standing, while with Hajime on his shoulder.
"I don’t have a decent amount of equipment on me, because of our last fight with those knights. So, just imagine for once, if we go where this kid was coming from, we will sure be cooked, because the knights we faced last time came from the same direction" He protested as he twists his head looking at some moon light bugs on some fallen tree.
