FRIDAY He’s not waking up Shake him then You shake him Why me What’s his name anyway Um I think it starts with an E Eduardio Hey Eduardio Wake up These voices pulled me from a deep sleep When I opened my eyes I saw three humans standing over me two boys and a girl They were wearing the exact same armor made of metal that was almost black with hints of red and white My name is Eeebs I said With a smile one of the boys waved and shouted Haiwoo The girl sighed You really need to stop saying that Leonardios It’s Leo for one thing he said Like her he couldn’t have been older than twelve And what’s wrong with haiwoo It’s our official greeting There’s nothing official about it she said It’s just a stupid way to say hello Yeah whatever We’ll vote on it soon After giving them a puzzled look I glanced about the room
Strangely Breeze wasn’t there Her bed was empty I vaguely recalled hearing a door close in the middle of the night but I fell back asleep right after Um where is she I asked No idea The other boy stepped closer He was the oldest of the three He must have been sixteen The mayor asked us to come get you It seems the villagers have their hands full Some kind of problem I don’t know Anyway they want us to take care of you Us Oh sorry I’m Hurion Rubyshard And this is Lylla the girl said No last name Leo here We’re with the Lost Legion like Kolbert Haiwoo LYLLA HURION LEO
You’ll be staying in our clan keep for now Lylla said Until Runt gets back anyway What will I be doing there Not much Well as long I don’t have to work with the angry man with the eyebrows sign me up Leo and Lylla exchanged glances The angry man with the eyebrows Drill is this villager who never mind I took one last look around Breeze’s bedroom It made me feel a little sad That’s how my day began A villager named Runt was still nowhere to be found and Breeze vanished mysteriously in the middle of the night leaving me with three people from another world I looked at them again What do I do Do I go with them I’m pretty hungry I checked my inventory but I didn’t find any food there That was when I noticed the piece of paper Breeze must have put it there right before leaving
