Chapter 14
our journey has begun a new chapter and difficulties that are going to come in our way. I don't know what will come next but sure with them, I can counter any crisis. so, the next stop is an island out there beyond the sea. we don't have enough money to buy a luxury battle type s.h.i.+p. instead of that, we have to saved money for our living expenses. even that much we were have only each other. we need to work this time to save money before we departure to the sea. for that purpose, we have to do some part-time jobs to earn more on the journey. when we gather enough money that allows us to buy at least an average s.h.i.+p, we bought one.
"This seems fine but I was not fully a.s.sured if it keeps up to that level of situation demand."
I say to Kazu to recheck the s.h.i.+p we are going to ride on. cause I didn't think this s.h.i.+p can handle all that stuffs over there In the sea.
"can't we exchange that?"
I asked Kazu. and tries him to convience him to take a look again and exchange that. but he didn't listen to what I have stated instead of that he spoke we don't have much budget for that we need to fix whatever we feel may cause the further problem. and took me to the market to purchase the necessary items. why doesn't he listen to me?? ah! forget, men will be men after all. never let anyone question
(huff)
I was with Kazu at that time and just following him in buying tho is and picking ek up.
from no were what came into my mind. I turned around my head. like a wind blows over from south, I felt like I need to go there and saw for myself. I ask Kazu to come too but he was so busy with himself in picking things up, I couldn't drag him to come with me. so I go solo there. when I approach the area, the atmosphere was quite not suitable for me I can see there were only few people around, quite feels like strange. I can smell something fishy but still, I go. when I reach at the end of the market, I saw an antique shop. the shop looks old and odd too. which was looking some shot of suspicious to me. I swallow my doubt and walk to there. when I finally stand I. the front of the door. I stopped for a movement to think whether to enter or retreat. maybe I was over thinking about the shop because of the atmosphere. but is was already late if I turned back this time I might feel regrate to at least not looked inside of it. so, I wave my mind and let my body enter inside of the shop.
he shop was full of old stuffs. I feels it's a kind of shop which was heirs from generation thing from the shop was looking old and antique. I know even it's old it doesn't mean that they are useless. so I looked around to see for myself, can anything among them help me? or I can make use of. while searching for something useful I saw am old compa.s.s. which was quite a big one about can fill my whole palm. the compa.s.s? has a hook to attach with, old design but still strong and working properly.
I was busy with seeing the compa.s.s, sudden out of the side of the rack where the compa.s.s was placed, an old lady appears. I was stunned for a while. if someone came in such sudden I may get a heart attack. she asked me what I was looking for. I was speach less less some seconds then I reply with comic way voice to her.
"Just I was looking for some stuffs and all."
"oh!" she nodded her head. like she was understanding what I was saying.
then she said after looking at my hands.
"are those you gonna buy."
I look at my hands and I started that the compa.s.s which was in my hand is the thing I was looking for. she Stated ok and ask for a fair price for it. I was running out of awareness so I didn't bargain much.
I quickly take the compa.s.s, pay her the price she was asked for and take my body out of that shop.
