Miho smiles as he walks with Azel on his right side. I guess I was wrong in doubting him, I was so used to horrible people in my past life that i forgot kind people like Azel exists.
However, I'm curious about something. Miho made a thinking gesture.
" Onii-chan I want to ask something" Miho said as he stops walking.
" About what?" Azel responds as he also stopped walking then turns on Miho's direction.
" you mentioned when you talked about Axel that you had parents if that's the case why were you staying with my parents? " Miho said as he looks at Azel.
Azel made a sigh as he heard Miho's words.
" lets not talk about it" Azel said as he started walking again.
Miho can't help but also let out a sigh at Azel's words as Miho starts walking chasing Azel. I guess I won't force him into it.
" and where are we going anyway Mr. Hero?" Miho said as he looks on his left the man in dark blue robes is walking ahead taking the lead.
" Oh right I probably haven't told you yet, we're going to meet my friend Francis " the man in dark blue robes said enthusiastically without looking behind.
This francis fellow can't possibly be a slave trader right?. Miho thought to himself giving the man in dark blue robes a skeptical look.
" Don't worry he's a kind person besides you'll definitely have fun in his place " the man in dark blue robes adds as he chuckled.
He do know that his words makes me feel more uneasy right?. Miho lets out a sigh.
Several distance later and the three of them saw a town surrounded by tall wooden walls and when they reached the town entrance the town guards greeted the man in dark blue robes.
" Hey it's Klice! how are you Klice? been on night patrol?" The old woman greets the man in dark blue robes as the three of them walked inside town.
" Yes granny and I found this two as well" Klice said as he pats miho's head.
So his name is Klice huh?. Miho thought to himself as he looked up on the man in dark blue robes.
" Mr. Klice! Mr. Klice! When will you teach me magic?" A kid said as he approached Klice tugging his robe.
" I told you when you grow older so behave alright?" Klice chuckled as he pats the kid's head.
He sure is popular but something feels off. Miho thought to himself as he scanned his surroundings as if searching for something.

" Something wrong little guy?" Klice said as he looked down at Miho caressing Miho's head.
" I'm just wondering aren't we supposed to have some sort of magical things like you know flying carriages and things like that? " Miho said as he looked at the wooden houses that surrounds them.
" oh that, unfortunately we're not on a magically advanced city like you'd expect" Klice let out a bittersweet smile as he looks at a blacksmith hammering a sword.
" What do you mean? " Miho asks puzzled as he watches azel that's talking to the old woman that greeted Klice earlier.
" Most of the people here in the town of Anon doesn't have magic they're just regular people casted away by the society. " Klice said as he looked up at the nightsky.
" I don't get it, why? " Miho said as he looks at Klice confusion is evident in his face.
" hmmn..... you see, why would you want regular person to carry things for you if one can just cast levitation? Why would you want someone who's good at medicine when asking a cleric for healing magic is easier? " Klice lets out a sigh and smiled.
I guess even in another world there's still discrimination. Miho thought to himself as he watched a blacksmith tirelessly hammering.
After several minutes of walk the three of them stopped at a building made of stone that's in a middle of a open field.
" Hello? Francis it's me " Klice said as he knocked the door of the building made of stone.
Just a minute later and the door slowly opened.
" ohhhhhh itz zhoyoouuu " a man seemingly in his mid twenties wearing a priest robe opened the door.
Miho sniffs the man in priest robe his scent reeks of alcohol.
Please don't tell me he's the Francis fellow Klice was talking about. Miho thought to himself as he scans the priest with his eyes from head to toe.
" Yes it's me Francis what have you been up to lately? " Klice said cheerfully as he let out a huge grin.
" itz nize to zee you again my fwend." Francis said as he playfully punches Klice chest.
Oh great he is Francis after all. Miho sighs as he shakes his head then Miho quickly approaches Azel tugging his pants to get his attention.
" What's it Miho? " Azel said with a smile as he looked at Miho.
Miho points at Francis then shakes his head as he pulls Azel's hand convincing him to go.
" Miho don't be impatient the adults are talking " Azel said as he stood still holding Miho's hand.
Miho sighs as he watches Klice and Francis talk.
" Detoxification " Francis said after saying those words Francis started to look sober.
Did he just used magic to get rid of his drunkenness?. Miho thoughts to himself surprised as he keeps listening to the mage and priest's conversation.
" Ok i understand I'll watch over them " Francis said now with a serious expression in his face.
" I know I can always count on you " Klice said with a grin as he then turned his back on Francis.
" Now then this hero still got some more saving to do and as for you two" Klice said as he approached Azel and Miho.
" Take care" Klice continues as he pats Miho and Azel's head then he starts walking away.
" See you Klice!" Francis shouted as the distance between them and Klice grew bigger.
" Did someone said Klice?!" Said a girl's voice from inside the building.
The door suddenly bursts open as a girl stepped outside revealing a red haired girl with long hair and bangs that extend to her eyebrows and seemingly on her teens.
" Ohh I'm sorry i forgot to call you again" Francis scratches his nape as he looks at the girl.
" I hate you stupid priest!!!" The girl said throwing the wooden comb in her hand hitting the priest's head as she goes back inside and slams the door.
She's something. Miho thought to himself watching the girl slam the door then he looks at Francis.
" Now then follow me my children" Francis said as if nothing happened giving a warm smile as he gestures towards the door.
The priest then leads Miho and Azel to a room on the second floor of the building inside the room is a huge space filled rows of bed on left and right with some children sleeping on each bed and a single candle illuminating the room.
So many kids. Miho thought to himself as he looks around the room then he focuses his attention towards Azel who's talking to Francis.
" I see, make yourselves at home no need to worry" Francis said with a warm smile while healing Azel's right shoulder as he listens to Azel.
"Thank you sir Francis" Azel said as he lowered his head.
" Please just father is alright and go get some rest, Klice told me everything you two must be tired " Francis said as he finished healing azel then pats Azel's head afterwards.
" now then good night" Francis said as he then takes his leave.
Miho and Azel then lie down on the empty beds both making a sigh in unison as the two of them then laughed.
Moments later...
" Are you asleep Miho?" Azel asks facing Miho's back.
" I'm not why onii-chan?" Miho responds without turning around.
" You see about your parents i think..." Azel's word's trailed off as he speaks with a sullen tone.
Let me guess? He think they didn't made it, honestly I'm not sure what i should feel about it. Miho shrugs.
" i think your parents went somewhere far away and won't come back anytime soon so you'll stay with me for the time being alright?" Azel said as he looks down on Miho's bed with a frown.
So this is what it's all about,well i guess I'll just play along. Miho thought to himself as he sighs.
" Alright onii-chan" Miho said in a cheerful tone.
The two of them slept comfortably then the morning came.
" EVERYONE WAKE UP QUICK!!"
