THIEVES
10. Meet

Krubukk.krbuk.." The sound of rumbling, sounding discordant comes from the stomach of Nadi.

He was now walking down the dirt of the market road, still disgusted to see the humans scattered before him. Someone was sleeping in the mud.

Some are doing indecent things with vulgarity, some are even torturing someone. The goosebumps of disco he made, even the Illusory Beasts were more honorable than them.

When He will return to his original place, intending to be the master to the Cave, He smelled the aroma of food that was so delicious, even Nadi who never ate it, could tell the taste just from the aroma of the food.

Then, Nadi looked for the source of the delicious aroma, and it was not far from where it was, the aroma came from a small turn in front of him, precisely in a small shop, owned by the Merchant.

The store has a lot of chairs, even though the place is small. After finding it, Nadi approached towards the tavern, because it looked lonely, Nadi immediately grabbed the food lined up in front of him.

Plaque!!" Nadi's hand was thrown by the Merchant, just as he was about to touch his food.

The merchant had actually noticed Nadi from earlier, so it was easy to stop the action. Nadi who does not receive such treatment, intends to finish his dagger.

Just as He was about to attack the Merchant, Nadi fell silent in surprise, his hand that was already in a position to draw, stopping in the middle.

Nadi was surprised, because the Merchant offered another meal to Nadi, with his smile He said...

"Eat this one." With a hoarse-sounding voice, He gave the food to Nadi.

Quickly, Nadi took the food, then ate it on the spot.

Haps, nyuem,mmmmmmm..." Like a starving animal that does not eat for days, Nadi devours it quickly, and gragas.

Not even up to 10 seconds, the food given in a portion that is quite a lot of it, runs out in a short time. Then Nadi thrust the empty container to the Merchant, asking to add the contents back.

But the Merchant refused Nadi's request, and he took out one gold coin and one silver coin, and showed it to Nadi.

Nadi was certainly confused as to what the Merchant meant, so He took one silver coin, and bit it.

Treekk!" There was a loud sound of Nadi biting the coin.

Even the Merchant laughed at him, and he took the coin in Nadi's hand, and said...

"This coin can be exchanged for food." Obviously the Merchant, while pointing the coin towards the food, tried to give a clear signal to Nadi.

If Nadi had not entered into the house of the Owner, He would not have understood the meaning of this Merchant. When He understood his point, He quickly ran, and returned to the Owner's House.

Previously, because Nadi spent half an hour traveling there, he accidentally found a mound of coins similar to the Merchant.

With a fiery spirit, he ran with all his might, then broke through the window of the Owner's house, and ran again towards the coin room it was in.

Arriving there, Nadi was confused because of the many coins that were mounting, He did not know how to take everything. Being impatient again, Nadi took it with both hands of his little hand.

Just after He came out of the room, He accidentally found a small container containing many similar coins, because he did not want to bother, He took the container, then threw the coin in his hand.

.

Drap drap drap drap..." Nadi ran back to the Merchant.

Bruuk!!" Nadi placed the container hard in front of the Merchant.

Quickly, Nadi took the food, and when He was about to eat the top, the Merchant stopped Nadi, and gave back the coin, which the Trader had taken his share.

Nadi who did not understand the Merchant's intentions, ignored him, then walked out of the tavern while eating his food.

"Thank you." Said the Merchant after Nadi left.

After Nadi came out of the store, he saw people gathered in one place, and saw a 12-year-old girl in the middle of the group.

But Nadi did not care, because He did not know and it was none of his business, He just walked leisurely through the group of people, then walked through the small alley where He had come before.

...*****...

The Forest

Morning Sunlight appeared behind Nadi, Nadi did not sleep at all after leaving the city, He could not sleep after eating food given by the Merchant, He was still imagined to taste.

While the journey to the Cave, it is still very far away, because this is only half the way He passed. With a feeling of sadness and hunger, he dropped himself on the wet grass.

He tried to close his eyes, so that He would not remember the food again. However, no matter how much Nadi tried, the thought still remained.

Aghhh...!!!" Nadi shouted in annoyance, then stood up from his position, and ran quickly to the road he had passed before, intending to return to the city.

Not until 20 meters Nadi ran, He smelled a pleasant aroma not far in front of him, then He was increasingly reminded of the good food of the Merchant, with a burning spirit due to hunger, and he was still alive, Nadi ran quickly to the source of the scent.

The scent came from a beautiful girl who was boiling soup, but Nadi paid no heed to the Girl, and focused on running towards the soup made by the Girl.

Tap... brurlluk!!" Nadi touched the hot pot of soup, and to his surprise, he accidentally spilled it.

Of course Nadi did not like to waste food, quickly, he started licking the remaining part of the soup on the grass.

The girl who made the soup became annoyed with Nadi's behavior, then he kicked Nadi to stop licking the grass.

Bruck!!" The kick was slow, but made Nadi fall.

Nadi did not accept the treatment of the Girl, then He began to stand up, and intended to launch his attack towards the Girl.

Swusshh..." Nadi attacked using his dagger, but the Dagger did not hit the Girl.

Wushsh sets set.." Repeatedly Nadi tried to slash, but the result was nil, The girl could avoid all of Nadi's attacks.

Nadi who was careless, for thinking of the reason he could not attack, was patal for him.

Quickly, the Girl ran towards the back of Nadi, then..

Daagh..." The girl threw the empty pot, right at Nadi's back.

And did not stop there, even Nadi had not had time to lift his body, the girl gave a kick in the stomach of Nadi, to the point that Nadi fainted made.

"Well, it's weak..." Said the girl, then took her pot back.
