Chapter 3
Lin Chung pov.
It had gotten dark when I arrived as I saw the mysterious girl meditating on a rock. When I started to approach her, she suddenly jumped up and ended up landing behind me. "You really thought you could sneak up behind me?", She asked as she charged at me. I pulled out my staff with my free hand and blocked her attacks. "I do not wish to fight. I just want to talk.", I said as she suddenly stopped.
??? pov.
"W-wait, you just want to... talk?", I asked him, feeling skeptical. "Yes, I have brought a peace offering.", Lin Chung said as he put away his staff and showed me a plate of... buns? I looked at him for a moment before I hesitantly reached out and grabbed one of the buns before examining it. It didn't seem off, and they did smell pretty good. I lifted up the bottom of my mask, and hesitantly took a bite.
Lin Chung pov.
I waited patiently as I watched the mysterious girl take a bite out of the bun. Her eyes went wide in surprise and amazement as she sat down on the ground and continued eating. I sat down across from her and set the plate down between us before grabbing a bun. The girl soon finished her bun before looking at me. "So, what did you want to talk about exactly?", the mysterious girl asked. "Why did you attack me last night?", I asked her as I took a bit out of the bun.
??? pov.
I grabbed another bun and stopped when he asked this. "Well, I thought you were going to attack me first, so I just did it in self-defense, I guess.", I replied. "I see, and why were you attacking the Zebra Brothers?", Lin Chung asked as he started eating his bun. "I wasn't actually going to hurt them. They were messing with the bamboo stalks, so I just wanted to scare them into leaving this place alone. It's kinda like a... safe space for me to get away from the stressful stuff.", I explained. "I come out here for the same reason; it is a bit difficult to find peace and quiet at Big Green. But if I may ask, what do you usually come out here to get away from?", Lin Chung asked.
Lin Chung pov.
"Well, I can't really explain it all, but to put it simply, my father is making me do something I don't want to do.", The mysterious girl said. "Well, what do you want to do?", I asked her. "This may sound a bit strange, but I've always wanted to be an adventurer. Growing up, I've always read stories about heroes and their adventures, and I want to be able to go out and help people like the heroes in my stories. Sorry if that sounds kind of boring.", The mysterious girl said. "No, I think it sounds nice that you are inspired by your stories.", I said as I finished my bun. The girl gave me a soft smile as she finished her bun. "Thank you, that is very nice of you to say.", The mysterious girl says as she finished her bun. We were both silent for a moment as I was about to ask for her name, but there was suddenly a bell ringing in the distance. "I apologize, I must go. Until we meet again, Lin Chung.", The mysterious girl said, pulling down her mask before she stood up and ran off, leaving me with more questions and an empty plate.
