I Died and was Transferred to Another World Only to Search for my Lost Memories... Maybe? -006

## 006

... Colorful skies. Oddly Shape Clouds. Two Suns. And Floating Islands...

I expected at least that much.
And this world just failed my expectations.
Fantasy World? Hah!!
----------

Nasa labas na ako ngayon mg Milcot Inn and is now staring on this perfectly normal looking clear blue skies, adoring its beauty... No, not really.

Innkeeper Lucinda commented on my attire nang magpaalam ako na lalabas muna para hanapin (kunwari) ang kasama ko.
"Ohh. Swordsman ka pala. That looks good on you." She even winked as she praise me. Parang I raised a horrible flag ah.
Nandun man ang urge na magtanong sa kanya bilang isang Council Member kung may paparating bang panganib sa Village ay di ko nagawa. My reasoning? Why would someone who isn't a resident of this village and just a traveller(yan ang pakilala daw ng kasama ko) ask about the village situation? Buti sana kung isa akong Hero, that wouldn't felt weird kung magtatanong ako.
--------
I am currently treading the path leading to the center of this village. Since wala naman akong set destination, tumitingin-tingin nalang ako sa paligid. There are people walking here and there..

I abruptly stop on my tracks ng may makita akong isang pamilyar na mukha. Going by the process of elimination, dahil nasa Inn pa ang 5 Yellow Dots at 5 Green Dots sa map ko, the one I saw is the Lv. 3 Nobleman, Humprey Bell.

He suspiciously went into an alleyway made from the spacings ng mga bahay. Base sa direction, he's heading east of the village.
Inoperate ko ang magic map, which I configure earlier to a size of a handheld phone, para makita kung nasaan na siya.

Village of Beginnings' East side is strangely uninhabited. Maliban sa dalawang Lv. 7 Guard na nakaposisyon sa watchtower ng East Gate ay walang ibang naninirahan doon. Though may mga bahay na nakatayo sa side ng town na yun ay wala kang makikitang residente.
Did something happened on the East side of this village kaya isinarado ang East Gate at inabandona na ng nga residente ang kanilang mga bahay?
Now I regret not asking Innkeeper for some info.

Habang hawak pa ang magic map ay sinundan ko ang Nobleman. I feel something will happen kung hindi ko siya susundan,. Base on his looks, his age is ranging from 30-40yrs old. He had a gray colored hair which extends to his shoulder. His face is not that appealing, pero it boasts of his nobility. His body build is like any other normal adult man with a height of 5 foot 11 inches. He's wearing a white cardigan covered by a green robe , a somewhat shiny breeches and a leather sandals.

Yan ang description that I came up with the help of Observe skill.

Oh. A right skill at a right time. Thanks World's System.

Habang sinusundan ko siya, Humprey the Nobleman made some incomprehensible turns, may time na liliko siya sa kanan at dederetso doon for about 4 blocks then liliko sa kaliwa for 1 block then kakaliwa ulit. Yup. Umiikot lang siya. Did he notice na sinusundan ko siya?

Napatunayan ko naman agad na mali ang assumption ko dahil muli na ulit siya bumalik sa path patungo sa East side ng village. Maybe thanks to my increasing stealth skill, akala niya siguro ay nailigaw niya na ako.

A few more minutes, he arrived near the East gate. Ako naman ay nakabuntot pa rin sa kanya. Isinandal ko ang likod ko sa pader habang minamasdan kung anong gagawin ni Humprey.
