Guardian Spirits 2K

On the other side, the trio got into another store again. Looking at Cathy greeting the another shopkeeper familiarly, Peter was sweating on the back. It is not because of the big background of Cathy but because of the price tags. He has no money to buy anymore. After glancing around, the least valuable thing is a small bottle named ‘Bola’s cream for damage muscles’ at a price of 5 gold coins for one bottle. God, I really couldn’t afford this shop. Peter was wailing silently while Chester was looking around.

Fortunately, Peter didn’t have to pay anymore. Cathy talked with her friend Jenny for several minutes before buying three bottles of blood vessel cleaner. Each bottle contains 25 tablets and costs 10 gold coins. When Cathy was picking out the bottles from the shelve, Peter’s heart was pounding hard. He felt that his money was spent too fast today. Only after Cathy signed another check, Peter felt relieved. Sometimes, a penny beats the hero. That was what Peter was thinking at that time. And he doesn’t want to spend his money on unnecessary things.

Cathy put the bottles into her handbag and said to beautiful blond woman Jenny, “Jenny, I found out my dream hero today.”

Jenny laughed as she looked Peter, “Don’t tell me that it is this handsome guy.”

Cathy patted Jenny’s arm and said, “Not him. It’s the big guy beside him. Hey, Jenny, guess what? Do you know who he is?”

Jenny gently tidied up her hair and asked, “Oh. Although he looks pretty normal, I would not discriminate against normal people. So, tell me sweetie, who is he? No puzzle’s allowed.”

Cathy laughed softly and sweetly like a small chipmunk who got a bowl of nuts, “Have you already read the book of Sir.Lewis about Cerriro Town accident?”

Jenny nodded and said, “Of course, I would never miss any book written by Sir.Lewis. So, is he someone from Cerriro Town?”

Cathy said softly, “He’s Chester. How about it? Awesome right? Are you envying me now, Jenny?”

Jenny exclaimed, “No way? Are you serious?”

After seeing Cathy nodded in confirmation, Jenny gave her friend a big thumb up. Now, she is really feeling jealous and feeling good for her friend. No way, who told Sir.Lewis to write Chester as a brave and responsible man in his book. Now, many single women are gossiping about characters in this latest book of Sir.Lewis on the secret bookfriends forum and Chester have most votes than other male characters.

Jenny poked Cathy and said in a low voice, “So, who is that handsome guy? And Cathy, don’t you think you should introduce us?”

Cathy rolled her eyes and pulled her friend to the two men who were looking around at various products. When they got near, Cathy said, “Hey guys, this is Jenny, my friend and proprietress of this pharmacy.”

Then, she pointed at Chester and introduced, “Jenny, this is Chester, my man.”

And she said, “And he is Peter, Chester’s brother in arm.”

The three shook their hands and politely greeted. After hearing the name Peter, Jenny’s eyes shined. She felt that she also found out her treasure even if she had read that Peter got a girlfriend named Tina. Their world’s view is different after all. They were raised to like the strong men, to accept polygamy and to respect sacred life of mankind. They believe in polygamy and patriarchy. After all, man and woman are born different and shouldering different responsibilities according to the teaching of Origin Mother Tera. They believe that a woman’s duty is to find a rightful partner for life, to fulfill the duties of a good wife, to give birth to children and to be a good mother. Especially, the doctrine of Origin Mother Tera for woman says, “Find a right partner who will respect you and protect you, fell in love with him, respect him as he does to you, fulfill the duties of a good wife, give birth to children, be a good mother, teach this to your children too. To have a blissful and enjoyable life. God might not fulfill your wish, my teaching will do.”

Jenny said to Peter who was still watching at the price tags of various items, “Peter, do you mind to have another girlfriend?”

Peter was confused and said, “I have girlfriend.”

Jenny said sweetly, “I know. But it won’t stop us falling in love, right?”

Looking at her girlfriend talking like that, Cathy patted her forehead in embarrassment. Then, she remembered that she also did the same a few hours ago. Cathy blushed and looked at Chester who was looking at Peter and Jenny in interest. Cathy pulled the big hand of Chester towards another place after saying, “Dear, come and look at various medicines with me. We may be able to find something useful to you after looking around for a while.”

Chester didn’t say anything and followed Cathy with a smile. The departure of the two made Peter who was left alone awkward. However, he is not a guy who has never dated a woman. So, Peter regained his composure as he thought of something.

He looked at Jenny carefully and asked, “Are you single?”

Jenny generously admitted, “Yea. Have you thought about it? I can even become your second wife if you want. Of course, if we married first before your little girlfriend, I would not mind to be the first wife either. All I want is just a reliable man. Look at this. This is a big store, right? I am a rich woman. Even if you are still not yet getting into a trainee path, I can support you to become a big man of tier two or even three. All I need from you is a husband who would protect his wife and several lovely children with our bloodline.”

Peter had never thought that he would meet this kind of situation in his life. He said touching his head, “Wait a minute. I am now really getting confused. Let me think what is actually going on.”

Jenny pulled Peter’s hand towards a set of sofa placed in a corner for guests after saying, “Let’s sit there and have a talk.”

Jenny took out two bottles of unknown green juice from her space ring and handed one over to Peter. “Drink it. It is good for you.”

Peter opened it and took a sip. He felt that a cold and sweet liquid entered. Two seconds later, he felt that his mind was refreshing and some stresses and exhaustion he got during these days disappeared. Peter took a look at the half emptied bottle and said, “This drink is amazing.”

Jenny laughed and said, “Thanks, that is gonna be 30 gold coins.”

Peter was petrified. He has never drunk a beverage so expensive like this one. He sighed and asked with somewhat awkward smile, “So, what is actually going on here? I can accept that some women can still accept polygamy. I also believe that there are still women who will chase men actively. But why it must be me? Cathy was also like that after she heard Chester’s name. I don’t think that we are not attractive to women in mysterious world or strong enough to attract beauties to chase us either. Can you please tell me what is making you guys wanting to pursue us?”

Jenny laughed and took out a book. She handed it over to Peter. Peter took and looked it. On the cover, he saw the title “Modern Weapons and Weak Daemons”. After he opened the first page, he saw the sentence, “It was a beautiful day again. I thought so. However, my mood was ruined soon as I felt the presence of daemons. Is this the fault of protector on duty neglecting his work? Oh, mother Agatha, someone actually summoned those Abyss Daemons in a small town. What this human wanna do? Wow, actually, that is a Daemon in human body. Should I go and save the humans who are facing the horde of little Daemons? Forgive me, the fate watch showed me to not do it. That concerns the rise of another symbol. Poor souls, I will tell my people to let you reincarnate into humans again later. What did I just see? A bunch of low level little daemons got slaughtered by an old woman?”

Peter had a bad guess. He flipped the book and went directly to pages at the back. Then, he saw Chester and his name. And even Tina was mentioned along with a bunch of praises about the Goddess of Moon Ixchel. Peter closed the book and looked at the bright white ceiling for several seconds. He felt tired and pissed.
