'what should i name him?'
I hummed thought fully and
DING DING!
"how about ceasar?"
"no"
"then how about Aidan?"
"no" he refused sternly
After suggesting many names This little fire ball finally agreed to one name
"Clam! great choice its definitely the best!" i spoke happily though he probably agreed to that cute little name Because i seemed most excited about that name.
"by the way you wouldn't stay on my hand, my pocket or my shoulder all the time So... where would you stay?"
"Oh that's simple, i would just.." Clam paused and climbed up my left hand's wrist and blended into my skin.
"Woah.. It looks cool as Fuck!" i looked at my fore arm which had a fire like tattoo where Clam now stayed
"okay so your gonna stay there now?" i looked at Clam's 'home' and after a bit of silence i guessed he's asleep now maybe?
Anyways i ordered a take-out, ate it and went to sleep. Looks rushed? because tomorrow i have bigger problem to take care of.
***
[The next day]
"Rise and shine Mr. Clam, hear me out on the problem i need to take care of" i spoke to Clam shaking my left fore arm aggressively to wake his ass up
"At least finish your breakfast before annoying me" Clam muttered and he got out my arm, he pouted and sat on the table.
"I am done eating anyways so hear me out, you see in few up coming weeks there will be a assassination attempt on Koto. Her name's Zhen She's a non- awakened assassin, She's probably the most strongest non-awakened person to ever exit" I began explaining
Clam didn't look like he would pay attention But damn he's a good listener.
"and-"
"Wait a damn minute, your really not gonna finish your meal? i mean you have such a low apatite, You didn't even finish your omelet. You have to build your appetite Or else how would you Get muscles or something?"
Clam cut me off and scolded me for it, But i continued Blabbering anyway
"Whatever, anyways, She has a little Sister named Sasha. She's a Awakened teenager, when the assassination attempt was made they arrested Zhen for it, it was then Sasha was on the news for bailing her Sister out." At this point i was just yapping honestly
What was more surprising? Clam was still listening intently.
"So how does knowing Zhen's sister benefit us? and What's her Rank?" He Questioned simple questions but those questions definitely made sense
"So knowing Sasha's her sister is a benefit because we can somehow befriend her and since Zhen really cares about her sister's feeling She wouldn't Attempt to assassin her friends right?" I paused thinking about Sasha's Rank and.. BINGO!
"Sasha's is a S-Rank! Probably a big benefit for Kohan guild!" I blurted out and rubbed my hands together Like a mad scientist, laughed like a maniac
While Clam looked disappointed at me, he opened his mouth to speak
"But where will you find that lady?"
"well.. that's a good question..." I paused thinking and thinking and... BINGO again!
"I know where she works! When she became a awakened she told everyone not to go there Because of how much of a asshole the manager was! She will probably be awakened in the next week"
"Wow i totally didn't need all of that info.." Clam Yawned as he plopped on my hand that was resting on the table and Continued using his tired little mouth
"Anyways kid good luck with that little mission of yours" He closed his eyes not yet blended into my hand.
Wait! Did this little shit just call me a kid!?
"Im not a kid you little shit I'm 21 years Old! Older then you!" I Raged
"First of all you are a kid in front of me Because im thousands of years old" He Explained and well... i cant argue much with that, But did he really think id believe him??
"Impossible! i don't believe you" I Muttered
Clam looked at me and went in my forearm and hid away Before i could even say anything
Anyways now to focus on how to Befriend Sasha and gotta give my attendance at Kohan guild, Because if i dont.. That idiot will fire me!
***
[At the Kohan guild]
'Okay let do this..'
I stepped into the elevator and pressed the Button to the floor i was assigned in.
DING!
I took a deep breathe and stepped out of the elevator and should i even consider myself lucky? Because the first person i spotted was Minho in the office.
'damn it just don't announce to Koto about my arrival!'
I hesitantly entered the office and made my way to Minho, Minho spotted me and Spoke up with a gentle smile
"Ah! Good morning Shoto!" He beamed and shook my hand
"Good morning.. um who do i give my attendance to Anyway?"
Even though i knew i had to give my attendance to Him i had to make sure
"Oh you have to give your attendance to Koto! it's a special order from him" He spoke so cheerfully about sending me to my grave
'SHIT! this is not what i expected!'
I mumbled 'oh' to myself and sighed.
I went to his office and hesitated to knock, But knocked on it anyway
"who is it?"
"ah it's me Shoto" I spoke nervously.
Man it was hard to comprehend a S-Ranks force even though i was still behind the gate the force was too strong.
After a bit of rattling behind the door, the door finally opened
"you finally came, your a little late" Koto spoke up a bit less sternly now
But it was still proving to be hard to even be able to talk face to face with a S-Rank, But… still it's my bestfriend we are talking about. He is like a little brother to me so its impossible for me to be that scared of him.
I know even though he's older then me it doesn't matter to me I always took care of him like my own little brother.
I cleared my throat and spoke up "Well… I came here to write down my attendance"
"Yes I know, come in" He offered
I entered the room and the office looked like it got tidy up in a hurry.
"Have a seat"
"Thanks, But I'll make it quick and leav-"
"sit " he ordered cutting me off and continued
"I clearly recall telling you to stay at Kohan guild"
Shit! I knew this was a trap! But not like I had a choice but to come to him for attendance.
"Ah- Yes! I remember that too, I went back home to Pack stuff" I stuttered, I couldn't look him in the eyes because Of my odd habit I did when I lied.
Of course he knows this habit too but he chose to remain silent, after a bit he spoke up.
"Then ill send a some people to Get your stuff and have it dropped to your new house, hm? Sounds good?" He questioned casually
'Fuck! What do I do now??? I gotta say no! I gotta come up with a excus-'
"So? What's your answer?"
"Oh uh Sure sounds good!" I blurted out not like I could say anything else in this tense situation.
"Great ill Send someone to grab your stuff"
"W- Wait! I still have some unpack stuff!" of course a lie, I haven't packed a single shit!
"no issue they will pack it themselves" He spoke In a serious tone but I knew this bastard was Smug as hell right now!
"oh okay then…" I mumbled and that's it, it was all settled now. I can't argue with him anyway not like he would listen.
I gave my attendance to him and was about to leave when he spoke up stopping me in my path
"Wait! Don't you want a tour of your new home?" He questioned as he approached me in a rush.
"oh uh.. Im gonna live there anyway so maybe tonight? Or later..?"
"oh…" He Mumbled and sighed with his scamming big puppy eyes
'Shit not this!'
"haah fine but make it quick I gotta go somewhere"
"Okay! I'll make it quick I promise" He Spoke with such enthusiasm, similar to of a kid excited to show their parents a Painting they made.
How could I say no to that?
And surprisingly he wasn't as scary he was before, But anyways.
After I left the Building I went on my main mission I had decided.
***
[At a café]
"Let me remind you our mission now, the Mission is to Befriend a girl and get our protection shield along with getting her to join our guild!" I Explained to Clam who sat on my hand in boredom.
"Are you really gonna stalk the girl from here?" Clam Asked Casually
"SSHHHH! Lower your voice! We are not stalking her I'm gonna go talk to her okay!?"
"You're talking like you're gonna go and confess your love or something"
"The fuck you talking about!? i haven't even met her!?" I Spoke through gritted teeth.
I picked Clam up and Got out of the café since everyone's eyes were on us, it's not a everyday thing to see someone talk to a undying flame.
It made me look crazy! Why? Because from my pov I am talking to Clam and from their pov? Its as I said! An undying flame!
But it was a benefit for me anyway since it's not normal for people to have their ability actually talk. Anyways back on the topic!
"I'll just talk to her…" I mumbled to Clam. Clam climbed inside my sleeve and blended. Aside from my Turtle-neck and dagger I had every other gear on me.
I took a deep breath and entered the restaurant Sasha worked in.
'Alright let's do this…'
