Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 The Woman with the Wounds

The undead army was defeated and now it was quiet again… in the city of Eichendorf.

Rikka: "Hmm"

Roland: "Where is Clementine."

Shane: "I don't know.."

Eugene: "Over there by the corpse of that Helmut."

Rikka: "Oh… it's okay, let her have time."

Clementine held his helmet.

Clementine: "Helmut.."

(Memory)

Helmut: "(Snore!)"

Clementine: "How is anyone supposed to rest like that… ghh.."

Helmut: "(Snore!) ghhh… hhh.. I'm hungry… hungry… (Snore!) food."

(End of memory)

(shttt)

She dug a grave for him.

Clementine: "You can rest now… Helmut… Hahhh.."

She took something, it was her earring.

Clementine: "Hmm.."

(memory)

It was a celebration for the rich or rather for the kingdom of Dolorene… she was also there.

Noble woman: "Look at that woman over there…"

Noble man: "What is a woman like that doing here with so many wounds… everyone knows a woman with wounds is a woman without value.."

Noble woman: "Hehehe… that's embarrassing… who invited her.."

Helmut: "Excuse them please…"

Noble woman: "Huh?"

Helmut: "If I am not mistaken you are the parents of Betty… do you actually know who saved her?"

Noble: "It was those assassins…"

Helmut: "Exactly… the woman there… the one you just called worthless… saved your daughter and lost part of her finger doing it…"

Noble man: "Ugh… uh.."

Noble woman: "Ugh… uh…"

Helmut: "I just want to say… maybe you should think before you speak."

Noble woman: "Come dear, let's go."

Noble man: "Yes."

They left the castle.

Helmut: "Hmm… cursed nobles…"

Clementine: "Huh?"

Helmut: "Hey Clementine… do you not feel like dancing?"

Clementine: "Even if I did, there is no one here.."

Helmut: "I can, if you want."

Clementine: "Huh?"

Helmut: "Hehe… if you want."

Clementine: "Hmmm… Hahhh… if you say so.."

She held his hand and he began to lead the dance.

Helmut: "You are so beautiful Clementine.."

Clementine: "Stop that…"

Helmut: "It's true… Hey Clementine…"

Clementine: "Huh?"

Helmut: "Let's leave… the two of us…"

Clementine: "That would be considered high treason against our kingdom, are you aware of that?"

Helmut: "As long as I am with you."

Clementine: "What is that supposed to mean?… we are soldiers.."

Helmut: "Forget it, I only do it for money and the innocent… not for these nobles… who only have money and wage wars."

Clementine: "Hmmm.."

Helmut: "Hey…"

Clementine: "Why me?"

Helmut: "Because I… like you.."

Clementine: "Huh.."

Helmut: "Would you do it? Hmm?"

Clementine: "Ughh… I… uh… okay…"

But a few days later

Clementine: "Ughuh... Helmut.."

Helmut: "…Clementine… kill me… before I… kill more innocent people… my curse!"

Clementine: "Hhhhahhh…"

Helmut: "Please!"

(Splach!)

She killed him.

Soldier: "She killed the hero… cursed be her!"

After that Clementine was banished from almost every kingdom… except Dolorene.

(End of memory)

Clementine: "Hmmmm.."

She stood up.

Clementine: "Hahhh…"

Rikka: "And?"

Clementine: "Good, thanks for the help."

Rikka: "You're welcome.."

She returned to the house.

Rikka: "Hmm…"

Bell: "Ugh….. mm….."

Clementine: "Hmm."

He quickly went into his room but Rikka stopped him.

Bell: "Huh!"

Rikka: "It's okay Bell… you deserve to be with us… I forgive you."

Bell: "Ughh.."

Rikka: "…friends again?"

Bell: "…okay.."

Shane: "Hmm."

Roland: "Hmmm.."

She made food.

Rikka: "So for you I will make something special. Chicken vegetable rice…"

She started cooking.

Rikka: "Cook rice… fry chicken… then vegetables peas… carrots, tomatoes, small pieces of carrot and tomato… then mix in the rice."

(Splach!)

Rikka: "Hehe… and now stir in soy sauce…"

(Shsshhhh!)

Clementine: "Oh.."

Shane: "Wow that smells great.."

Clementine: "Mhm."

Roland: "Indeed."

Eugene: "Wow."

She placed the food on the table.

Rikka: "Here…"

Bell: "Hmm.."

Rikka: "Here Bell.."

Bell: "Ughh…."

Rikka: "Go ahead and eat.."

They started eating.

Rikka: "I found a mission… it requires a journey…"

Clementine: "Oh.."

Roland: "I see."

Rikka: "Have you ever heard of the forest… the Lapel Forest?… a forest where many incredible animals live… and we have to do something there… there is a building there… they say a known noble lived there… but he has… disappeared… a few days ago… we have to find him."

Clementine: "I understand.."

After eating Clementine finally started to build what she wanted, a refrigerator!

Clementine: "I see, you are starting."

Rikka: "Yes I bought these parts… hehe…"

Clementine: "Hmm."

Rikka: "But I need more parts…"

Clementine: "Then go to Borderland…"

Rikka: "Borderland?"

Clementine: "Borderland, also known as the Tool Forest, there are many things like that…"

Rikka: "Oh… okay… why not."

Clementine: "When do you want to do the mission?"

Rikka: "The day after tomorrow would be good."

Clementine: "Then let's go to Borderland today, it is not far."

Rikka: "Really?"

Clementine: "Yes… it does not even take four hours."

Rikka: "I see… then let's go."

Roland: "And us?"

Rikka: "You stay here and prepare everything for the journey, okay?"

Roland: "Okay."

They set off. They used their vehicle… on the road there were others…

Clementine: "These tools hmm."

Rikka: "Oh yes… I remember, today is trading day… no wonder so many from Minoles are coming."

Clementine: "Is that not the kingdom that is very advanced?"

Rikka: "Yes… the newest kingdom… we should go there sometime."

Clementine: "Yes…"

(Four hours later)

Clementine: "Hmm."

Rikka: "Woooowwww… this is amazing… this is a dreamland for craftsmen like me."

She took parts.

Rikka: "I need that… that… that… since I am already here I will just take as much as I can."

Clementine: "Sure… should I help?"

Rikka: "Hehe that would be nice."

Clementine: "Ok."

She helped her and they collected many things.

Rikka: "Hmm and there?"

Clementine: "Stop… not there… the Borderland king lives there… a monster made of tools."

Rikka: "What?"

Clementine: "He allows humans to take his things but not from his place… it is a monster made of… metal…"

She probably means a robot?

Clementine: "Let's go."

Rikka: "Ok.."

They headed back.

Clementine: "Hmm and satisfied?"

Rikka: "Of course, thank you hehehe… finally a refrigerator for my house… for the Cloverclock…"

Clementine: "Interesting… what… you could just buy one?"

Rikka: "What?… do you know how expensive those things are?.."

Clementine: "That is true."

Rikka: "Hehe… then let's drink a lot of cold Morgiana… hehehehe.."

They kept driving and driving and of course Rikka was happy about all these tools and items metal, screws, gears, clocks… anyway finally the time has come that they will soon travel for an important mission.
