Invisible String

CHAPTER 4

~~~Luna's POV~~~

Me, Farris, Otto, and Conrad went to the town of Trost to buy supplies for the orphanage in that district.

Yup, we can go in and out of the Underground since we're not really from around there. I just happen to know people from that place through my parents.

When I was a kid, we would always bring food and new clothes for the people in the Underground. I had no idea then why we do it but my parents say it's our way to serve the people. Not that I complain about it, I actually enjoy it because of the kind people I met and I thought they deserve to be blessed. That's how I met Mr. Emil and the people there, even that Mr. no-good Leo.

Ever since me and Farris left the orphanage to get jobs, we made a deal to provide the needs of every orphanage we know and visit them from time to time. Even though I so happen to have more than enough money with me when I arrived at the orphanage, I donated half of it to the orphanage I was in and kept the other half and swore to only use it for emergencies. That's why I had to get a job so I can provide for myself and to give back to the people that take care of the orphans.

Farris helped me with everything, even when we got a job. That's also where we met Otto and Conrad. They're also from an orphanage, the one here in Trost district. We became inseparable since the day we met at our job and they also agreed to join our deal.

Farris and Conrad are like our big brothers while the youngest is Otto and Conrad being the eldest. Since I'm the only girl in the group, they became very protective of me, that's how they got dragged from my commitment to always protect the people from the Underground.

We were strolling along the market to find some fresh vegetables for the children. Conrad was picking out the good ones from the stall we stopped at while I look around, then I spotted a store that sells cleaning supplies.

"Oi, should we get new cleaning supplies for them too? I bet those brats wasted a lot of the supplies we brought them last time during their cleaning day." I said to Farris and Otto while looking at the store.

They didn't respond so I looked back at them to see if they were listening. The two shared a look for a moment before grinning at me.

"Oh no. Did that midget infected you when you fought him?" Otto teased me while acting shocked. He looks like an idiot.

Farris put his one arm around my neck while his other hand held my head then he pulled me downwards making me bend forward. "Let's get cleaning supplies for you to wash it off. We don't need a clean freak in our team."

The two idiots laugh while I try to get my head out of his arms. "Let me go, you dumbass!"

"No, we can't risk it. You're already bossy enough, we can't have more to his level." Farris says still holding me while he ruins my hair.

"I'm not bossy!" I retort exasperated.

"Yes you are!" Otto says laughing.

Conrad joins soon enough as he chuckles at his brothers' stupid behaviors. "Alright, that's enough. Luna's wearing a skirt." He says as he taps Farris's arm telling him to let me go which he did, thankfully.

I punched Farris's arm and slapped the back of Otto's head as they laugh. "Idiots." I say as I fix my hair and clothes.

"Be careful next time. We wouldn't want dirty men looking at her, would we?" Conrad says as we start walking near the cleaning supply shop.

Farris and Otto then looked around with their stupid 'sharp' eyes, "Why? Did you see someone? Tell me, I'll break their bones." Farris says as he crack his knuckles like he's ready to start a war. He always do this whenever guys are around us. I'm not even gonna be surprised if I die single.
