Ishira

On a quiet morning, there was a boy named Ishira. He was a homeless boy with unkempt hair and a body covered in dirt.

"Hmm, I'm really hungry. I need to eat something. I hope someone can give me food, even just a bit of bread," he thought to himself.

Soon after, a girl approached him and said, "What are you doing here? Are you hungry?"

The boy nodded. "Here, I got this food from the stall over there. Just take it."

Quickly, the boy took it and ate it, while the girl watched in shock. It seemed like he hadn't eaten all day. Despite this, she watched him with a smile.

"Eat slowly, you'll be fine. My name is Yue. What's your name?"

The boy remained silent and didn't even look at her, as if he was too ashamed to show his face. After a while, someone approached them from behind, but suddenly the boy moved quickly and blocked the stranger's hand.

Everyone was shocked because they had never seen a child move so fast.

Yue said, "It's okay. That's my knight appointed by my father, not a bad person."

"Ha ha, sorry to scare you, Princess. By the way, who is this boy? He has eyes as sharp as mine," the knight, named Sandra, said.

Yue explained to Sandra what had happened earlier. Feeling pity, she asked Sandra to take Ishira under her wing.

Sandra thought for a moment, checking if there was still a spot for the boy, while Yue looked at her with a pleading face.

"Ah, miss, don't show me that face. It's hard for me to ignore your request."

"Please! I like this boy. He has skills. Could you tell my father and appoint him as my companion? I need someone around my age to talk to and protect me over time."

"Hmm, okay. I will tell the boss. Let's take him home. Boy, let's go to the home. I'll take care of you for now. You really want to eat and live, right? Come with us."

Ishira remained silent and watched Yue's hopeful, cute face, hoping he would follow them home. After deep thought, he decided to follow them.

After that, they got into a horse-drawn carriage and started their journey to the continent of Gaskga, where people of all races could live together. The trip would take a whole week, and as the days passed, Yue began to feel bored.

She glanced at Ishira, who was sitting quietly beside her. "Hey, why are you always so quiet? I'm getting bored can you please talk to me?" she asked. But Ishira just kept silent, lost in his thoughts.

Feeling a bit impatient, Yue leaned in closer her face slightly to his. She playfully tucked his hair behind his ear and then as she looked at him. "Wow, he really has a nice face," on her mind while her heart racing. Even so, she remained quiet, caught up in her feelings.

Noticing her gaze, Ishira turned to her and wrote something on a piece of paper. He held it up for her to read: "Are you okay, princess?"

Yue's face lit up. He wanted to talk to her! She decided to act a little playful, pretending to sulk to get his attention. However, Ishira seemed confused, not understanding why she was acting that way.

With the journey ahead of them and a world of possibilities waiting, what would happen between them next was still a mystery.
