Opening my eyes I was greeted with an unfamiliar ceiling, rising to a sitting position on the bed.
"Ugh..." As I rise up I could feel a pounding headache and slight itch from my neck.
Although the pain are annoying it did not lower my vigilant nor the intensity of my gaze at the sleeping girl by the bedside.

I could feel a frown forming as I recognize the girl. It was that same girl I met and followed from the guild.
I am not worried she would say anything about my secret after that night because I put a curse on her so she will die if she intend to harm me or about to do anything that could and I am clearly not worried about it being found out since I made the curse with a special ink I made himself.
Looking around the room I recognizes it as the girl's house but as to how I got here still puzzles me. Just as I was about to get up, the door was opened and a familiar face came in.
"Oh young man, seems like you have woken up." It was that man from the market, he look me up and down with a smile that make me feel goosebumps but I let my guard down when his face turn serious.
"I don't know what appointment you have but I suggest you rest. Although your limps are fine, you broke your neck and hid a rock on your fall." Hearing his words I then noticed the stiffness and itch was from the thick bandages wrapped around my neck and head.
"How come I didn't notice this right away?! Damn I need to raise my awareness more." I thought as I start unwrapping it.
"Hey you sho-"
"Don't worry my recovery is really quick. See, it's already healed." He looked surprised to see my neck clear of any bruises and that I can move it freely but then sigh while muttering "how envious."
"Anyway could you tell me what happened?" Although I know where I am I have no idea what happened after blacking out.
"Sure that won't be a problem. After you lost conscious I caught up with your coach to find you bleeding on the street with my daughter crying at your side and some people tried to make your horse move or tried to bypass your coach's barrier.
Ignoring them I asked about the situation from my little gumball and took you here before treating you. Oh and don't worry about your coach, it followed us back on its own. I have to say tho that is one find trained horse you have there, oh and don't worry if my evaluation are correct then no one in town will be able to break your barrier."
I nod to show that I understand what he said. The fact he have a daughter put Vayne a bit at ease thinking he probably misunderstood the man's previous words.
"Oh and become it seem my daughter recognize you this should be easier. Please make my daughter a woman!" The man said with a perfect 90° bow.
"...could you please explain, I don't think I quite understand." I said with an awkward smile, clearly I underestimate how bad this man is with words.
"I'm saying since you and her probably come to the same place and know each other, I want you to make her a woman." He said with a somewhat confused face.
Feeling a headache, I ask him to make it clearer. "Can you please tell me what you mean by make her a woman and why should it be me?"
He look at me blankly for a moment before realisation hit him. He gave a nervous laugh before saying "what I mean to say is that since you are able to make your own original potions, I'd like you guide my daughter in the path of alchemy. As for why did I ask for you, that's because my daughter have been talking about a boy who helped her when she was being bullied and that boy was one rank higher than her." And point at my cufflinks.
Now I see what he wants and I can see why he come to the conclusion but...
"I refuse!" I declare with resolution and wait as his face show he is digesting what I said.
*tug* *tug* feeling the tug at my sleeve, I turn towards the girl who is now awake and stare at me with teary eyes. I could see fear in it but also showed expectation, I don't know if she heard our conversation or not but it doesn't look like she will back down willingly.
I turn back to her father and I know he saw out slight contact as he grin at me and wriggle his brow, seems like he's convinced people won't be able to resist his daughter puppy eyes.
Well I can't deny that it is effective but as I had already refuse I should stand my ground right?
The girl continue to stare intently while her father smiled as if telling me to relent already. It didn't take long until the pressure of her gaze got me.
"Fine, but I'll only give advice and some guidance is she's stumped, nothing more." Sighing, I can't help but think the girl remind me of Val with how she stares until she get what she wants.
The girl of course start jumping around and cheering before taking my hand in a firm shake.
"My name is Meel, please take care of me in the future." She said with a cheerful smile on her face. I wonder if Val will have this kind of smile one day.
"Great, now that is taken care off how long will you stay in town? I've noticed you have the visitation permit with you." The man asked as he lift his daughter into his embrace.
"I will return to Craftsman's city in 3 days, why you ask?" Somehow I have a bad feeling from his question.
"That's good then, you can help me repair our wall that broke after you throw me up." He said with a tone that clearly doesn't accept no for answer.
"Damn it I was right!" I inwardly curse before getting off the bed and bow.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to throw you up. I'll help to the best I can!" I said with sincerity, after all I did something wrong so of course I have to fix it. As for my agenda, I can do that in between.
"Great answer, now let's start!" He said and we both left for the hole in the wall. The rest of our day then spent on patching and replacing the broken planks for walls as well as repaint it and it's outer side.
After all was done it was evening and I left to book a room at an inn near the gate. The price was a bit expensive with 5 silver a night but at least the room is worth it.
Laying on the bed, I waited till night time before getting up and preparing my equipment. Once I am geared in light black leather armor and venom coated dagger and a couple throwing knife, I put on my face cover and hood before jumping out the window and run along the roofs.
"Let's hunt some corrupt official!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Opening my eyes I was greeted with an unfamiliar ceiling, rising to a sitting position on the bed.
