Chapter 41:

Inhabitants Of Another World

The Creature Hunter: Soul Of The Wind


As he stood up, they finally saw what was behind where he stood. 

There was a girl lying on the floor right behind him.

The girl was almost six feet tall, with blue long hair and azure eyes. She looked the same age as the boy but she was shorter than him. She was wearing a black coat, a white T-shirt, short pants and blue boots.

She also had a spear that that lied beside her.

Orano looked at him and said,

"I'm not here to hurt you or her. But I have to know what happened to her. Can you tell me why is she like this?"

"I don't care what your purpose is! You can't expect me to trust someone who comes out of nowhere!"

As they talked with each other, the girl pulled the boy's pants and said sluggish and tired,

"Bachi.... We can't fight with them about this. We couldn't get the medicine either and I need to get rid of this disease immediately, so, please... Let them do what they want for now."

Then she looked at Orano and added,

"And... they don't look like bad people... either."

He didn't want to listen to her. But he then gave up and said,

"Fine. A Pyron's poison infected her body, back in Faye. She needs medical help on that, and it needs to be fast. Do what you have to do. But if you hurt her, you are going to pay for that!"

Orano then sighed and put his bag on the ground.

He then bent down and pulled out of his bag, a glass bottle, a Bona horn that he took recently, a magic mushroom, and a bottle of medical potion. He then smashed the horn and the mushroom and threw them into the bottle and poured the medical potion on top and started shaking the bottle.

Orano then took the potion, stood up, and looked at him.

Then he said,

"Let her drink this. This magical mushroom will allow the elixir to reach its cells faster. While it does that, The Medical potion and The Bona horn will restore immunity to her body, heal it, and will give it a protective power for a while."

Although it was clear that he did not want to trust them, he quickly took the bottle and approached the girl. He then supported her head with one hand, while he gave the girl the potion with the other hand.

She quickly drank all the potion and began to lie down again. 

Now all they had to do was wait. 

But there was an extreme amount of excitement in the environment, and everyone was curious about what was going to happen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fortunately, the girl had recovered and was now able to move very comfortably. After the young boy saw that, he became very happy. His anger and stubbornness disappeared as nothing has happened, and he couldn't hold himself from laughing and smiling.

He scratched his head with a smile and said,

"Sorry! Sorry! I wasn't expecting you guys to help us out. But I'm very grateful to all of you!"

The girl then sighed and said,

"Excuse us. This bonehead can talk nonsense sometimes."

His expression changed into an angry one once again and he said sarcastically,

"Hey! It's not nice for you to say that, Kurumi!"

The girl then looked Orano, smiled, and said,

"I'm sorry about what we went through before. I'm Miko Kurumi, and my friend here is Bachi Tomoe."

He smiled once more and said,

"Yo!"

"My name is Orano Tatsumi. My friends here are Caitrin Nakahara and Lydia Shimizu." Orano said as he introduced them to each other.

Miko then said with a surprised expression,

"Orano Tatsumi? I've heard about you before! You are the popular Creature Hunter right?"

"Yes, I am."

Lydia then asked,

"You were running away from the soldiers back there too. Why you two were there running away from them anyway? And you were talking about a medicine that you couldn't buy, Does it have anything to do with your condition?"

Miko bowed down her head, sighed, and said,

"Unfortunately, Yes. It does have something to do with our condition."

She then looked at them again and added,

"A Long time ago, when we first started to use spells, we decided to investigate a rare spell called the "Rift."

At first, there were no problems, and we were doing well. But recently, I got sick because of a Pyron that we encountered, and we were in a bad situation. So Bachi looked for medicine in the kingdoms for me, and we finally found that we could get medicine in the sixth Kingdom.

We got here as soon as we could. Bachi and I did a lot of research on the medicines and made a route for ourselves. But we didn't get any help from the people here. Soon after that, I became very ill and I couldn't move any longer, due to the poison.

Bachi said he'd take the medicine for me and come back. But as you can see, he got into trouble, and we returned with nothing."

Caitrin asked excited,

"The Rift? You guys are searching for those too? Why?"

Miko looked at the floor with a nervous expression on her face and said,

"The reason for that is complicated and probably you are not going to believe us, but-"

She then looked into their eyes and added,

"We're not from this world.

Four and a half years ago, we found ourselves floating in Lake Rawara. At first, we couldn't remember how we got here, and why we did. But after a while, we remembered what happened and looked for solutions to get out of here. As we got stronger to survive and researched how we could live here and get out of here, we finally ran into each other.

At first, I thought he was a Creature Hunter from this world, and he thought I was a wizard from this world too.

But when we both heard that we came from the same place, we started working as a team and became close friends."

Bachi smiled and said,

"Close friends! Yay!"

Miko then looked at them once again and asked,

"But you looked so surprised to us searching for the spell, and you also said "You guys are searching for those too?". What do you mean by that? And why did you got so excited for it?"

Orano crossed his arms and said,

"Because I'm from the same world like you."

Both Miko and Bachi looked very shocked by what they heard. It seemed to surprise them to hear that another person from their world was here with them.

Then they looked at him with an excited and surprised expression and said,

"Really!?" At the same time.
