Chapter 107 - Meet Up!

Vicar then drags Tane to the outside, far from the guard's barrack. Aliss follow them, as they were no guardsmen nearby. Vicar stops dragging Tane as it would be safe to talk here. Tane feels like Vicar was acting weird and ask why he does this to him. 

"I'm sorry Tane, I had to as you were about to say something that you weren't supposed to say to the captain." 

"What does thing I was about to say?" He tried to recall back what's the word and he remembers as he said to Vicar, "It was true that you hadn't told this girl about the skeletons, why can't I said it to the captain?"

"If you say that, it will just cause more problems to Aliss," Vicar said that if he didn't close Tane's mouth. We will be in that room so much longer. 

Tane still didn't understand why he shouldn't say it. Vicar then explains why he can't, he said that if Tane had said that. The captain would ask Aliss about who the real person that telling her about this. It will be hard to answer that question as to the one that told her was the ring. 

"Wait a minute? The ring but isn't that guy should be with the skeleton right now." Tane didn't believe that I was here with them right now. 

Aliss then show her me to Tane, he was quite surprised to see me. He really thought that I was still in the outer wall with the skeletons. If I was them, I would think that as well because a ring shouldn't be able to walk. Tane then understands the situation when he saw me. 

"Okay now I understand, the captain would be shocked to learn about a talking ring. Ermm... So who was this girl, Vicar?" Tane asks as he still doesn't know who Aliss was. 

"I forgot to introduce you, her name is Aliss. A noble daughter from the Steenswis family." Vicar said to introduce Aliss to Tane. 

"A noble! Wow... I can't believe you have a friend like Vicar. Oh sorry, I forgot to say that my name is Tane, a pleasure to meet you Aliss." Is that a rare thing for common people to befriend a noble? 

"Nice to meet you Tane. Mind if I ask you something?" Aliss introduce herself but what the thing she wanted to ask Tane about."

"Sure, just ask ahead and I will answer them honestly," Tane said that. 

"Here my question, how do you meet Vicar? Do you know him for long cause you guys seem close?" That was Aliss question, I don't think they were that close after that punching incident. 

Hearing that Vicar and Tane both laughed, they must be laughing about the part when Aliss said that they were close. But I know why Aliss thought like that if only she knows that they had a fight recently. She wouldn't say that they were that close as the fight might make a gap in their friendship. 

"Hahaha! Of course, we are close, we are friends that had been through a lot on this day. Isn't that right Vicar?" Tane said that as he put his hand on Vicar's shoulder. 

"I'm not sure about that Tane but I do agree that we had been through a lot." Vicar reply to Tane. 

I don't know why but it seems that they had patched their friendship back, it must happen when I was left behind there or when wasting time with Aliss. I'm glad that they had worked things out, they just had some misunderstanding back then. 

"Is that so...." Aliss said after she heard everything she wanted to know. 

"Okay, now my turn to ask! Are you Vicar's girlfriend?" Tane asks that. He does imagine a lot of stuff but I will not blame him for that. 

Vicar interrupt, "Of course she was not my girlfriend! What leads you to think that sort of thing..." 

"I saw everything that happens in the barrack, the way you both were hugging each other and Aliss face when she saw you. There's no way I'm wrong this time." 

"Why do you always thought like that? Let me explain that there was nothing between me and Aliss. We just a childhood friend and that's all."

Of course, they were not just a childhood friend as there more in it. Both Aliss and Tane didn't know about it but Vicar and Aliss were actually siblings. Vicar didn't want to say it as he wanted Aliss to have a better life than him and it seems that he really wanted to keep it that way. 

"You guys were childhood friends... sorry for thinking that way, does that mean I had a chance?" Tane asks Vicar about something that Vicar didn't fully understand. 

"What do you mean? Had a chance at what?" 

"At a chance to become Aliss boyfriend, she still doesn't have a boyfriend right?" Does he think that he had a chance at Aliss? 

"I'm sorry Tane but I wouldn't let you date Aliss, I would not approve it." Vicar doesn't want Tane to be Aliss boyfriend. 

"Why? Unless you had a feeling for her... that's why you didn't want me to date Aliss right?" Tane wasn't wrong there as it really seems that Vicar had a feeling for Aliss. But Tane just doesn't know that they were siblings if he knows that. He probably understands why Vicar did that. 

Aliss laugh at both of them, "You guys are really close, and let me tell you that I didn't want to date anyone right now." Aliss then makes jokes about Vicar, "Sigh, he really didn't have a feeling for me as when I ask him to marry me, he didn't even want it."

"What! Ali-Aliss wanted you to marry her... Why didn't you accept it Vicar? she was a beautiful lady and don't forget she was a noble daughter." 

Vicar gives a gentle head chop on Aliss head. "Don't twist the story like that Aliss, this guy really had another level of imagination. If you didn't straight tell him the truth, he would start to think another way around."

"Ouch, that hurts... I'm sorry, I was just joking around Tane but I did ask him to marry me." 

"Let's stop talking about the marriage now, let's focus on another stuff like the undead skeleton." Vicar tried to change the subject of the talk completely. 

"But this was a serious conversation Vicar..." Tane said that as he wanted to continue this current conversation. 

"Let's drop this, there something I want to ask the ring." 

Vicar then looks at me as he began to ask me a question about me. The first question was about how I was able to be here. Because I'm not currently equipped with Vicar, I can't talk to him directly and I ask Aliss to tell Vicar about how did I do that. 

Aliss then tell Vicar that the reason I'm here right now, it was that I teleport myself here. To be more specific, teleported into the Aliss room, which I was able to get back with Aliss. 

I then told Aliss to ask Vicar why he didn't pick me up after I was tossed by him. I also tell that I was really a little mad at him to forget about me and just left me behind in that place all alone. When Aliss rely on it to Vicar, he immediately apologized to me. 

"I'm sorry, I really forgot about you at that time but I realize that I had missing something and that was you." I could see that he really felt guilty about it. 

He then said that he wanted to get me back there and that's why was wearing the guard's armor right now. Only the guards could go to that place and he volunteered himself to go there and fight the skeletons. The captain doesn't agree at first but Tane backed him up telling that they could handle it as they had fought the skeletons along the way. 

Thanks to Tane's effort convincing the captain, he finally let them go to the outer world. After hearing that, I wasn't mad at Vicar anymore as he would go to that place just to pick me up. 

"Are we still going to that place?" Tane asks Vicar as the objective they going to the outer wall was just to find me. Why would they still want to go to that place if I already here? 

"I'm not sure but I think we still needed to go there, it's our fault all of the things that happened now," Vicar said that to Tane.

"You're right...we were to blame for this. We somehow must do it to fix our mistakes." 

Aliss didn't know what were they talking about. But for me, I do know why they blame themself. In the mind, they must be thinking that if they weren't fighting each other at that time, this wouldn't happen at all.
