The Mysterious Land 14 Part 9: The Shopping Day

The next day … koja woke up so early … and did all his morning works … then He wore a sports suit to make him move easily.

Well … it seems that Maya did her job very well … since koja can move his legs without feeling a big hurt … he even changed his clothes without any helps … but if we talk about that … If Koja's body was not too solid ... because he is a Raym user ... he would have lost his leg now.

koja put his mini sword ( the dragon's neck ) in his back … then he quickly moved to the kitchen … to find that Maya was not even there … and the breakfast was not prepared yet … Well, if Maya was taking care of koja the last days so she must be prepared the breakfast by her self ! but for a reason, she did not.

Koja felt some anger ... not as if he felt disturbed when he knew that Maya had not prepared the breakfast ... but what bothered him was what he concluded with himself…

He took some of the left food that was in the fridge from the last day … he prepared it and he quickly ate it … while the signs of dissatisfaction were evident from his facial expressions.

Then he went to Maya's room quickly … and after he was standing in front of her room's door … he said with a very disturbing accent:

" As I expected … that aho…  "

*Knock … Knock *

With a loud and  Baka accent at the same time … koja said:

" Hey! You … you really didn't wake up yet?  why did you ask me to wake up early then !! "

Suddenly Maya opened the door slowly … and for a scary reason … the more she appeared her face ... the more Koja felt terror in deep inside … yes, that was after he saw the face of the half-sleeping girl.

" W-What is this? What happened to your face? " said koja

" O-Ohayo ! "

Maya's face looked very scary ... especially after it seemed so puffy from so much sleeping…

" Hmm? W-What is wrong with my face? Ah … do you mean the bulges? Well, this is how I always look like ... after I wake up from the sleep "

Then suddenly Maya sat down on the floor … Continued her words:

" Let me sit down a bit so I can realize things around me... "

..

..!!

With a Baka accent:

" N-NANI !!? I will only give you ten minutes if you do not prepare yourself ... I will leave alone ... hih ! I don't believe that an idiot like you have obstructed the organization many times "

Suddenly Maya stood up quickly … when she noticed that koja was really leaving the place … so she quickly got into the room again … and before she closed the door she said with a loud voice:

" W-Wait wait !! don't go … I will prepare my self quickly "

Maya is really making koja act weird … as if this person is receiving a lot of pressure from her … this Baka girl makes a serious person like him look completely foolish … Yes, this is the effect of idiots most of the time…

****

Maya prepared her self in less than ten minutes … if you were there you can hear that loud sounds she was making in the room ! as if she was rolling on the floor, colliding with things around her ... while she was changing her clothes.

Then she followed him quickly…

And…

The two were heading towards the neighboring town as they agreed...

To buy some medical supplies ... and some supplies for cooking…

After a very long walk … the two reached the town …

The architecture of the town's houses was a bit old and traditional ... we can tell it was three floors high at max ... As we said before, most of the immigrants to the mysterious land are from third world countries ... so it is not strange to see such houses on this continent.

But this time …. the place looked a bit different for koja … well, it's not like he used to come so much here but … for some reason … he felt that something was different there…

Or maybe something mysterious was going on…

The town was very decorated … the tall buildings were covered with a curtain of silk … While the small buildings were decorated with bright small lamps and some other things that are used for adornment….

And that makes the town looks so nice…

Well, that made koja see something strange through everything….

" This is strange ... will there be a festival here? ... Well, Maybe they do that sometimes ... because I do not come here too much "

While Koja was saying that with himself ... Maya was trying to catch up with him with very long steps... as if the fatigue had overtaken her…

" W-W-Wait...…. A minute ! you b.a.s.t.a.r.d must buy something to travel like a car or something like that … I… I…I really can't feel my feet ! "

" Hih … It's not my problem … I like to walk in the morning … "

" HIIIH buuuut ! "

Suddenly koja said:

" wait… "

" Hmm? "

The strange things inside the town continued to appear ... the two continued to walk inside the town ... but they have not seen anyone from the town's citizens yet.

The town was decorated … so for what reason? Why n.o.body is out? Koja's intuition began to work at this time ... trying to understand what is happening around…

While Maya was staring at the houses left and right !

Maya said wondering:

" Yo ! agent … why the town is empty? HIH could it be T-That this town is … a zombies town? Ho- Kowai ! "

" No..... something weird is happening here "

In a moment...!!

*Ovation … Ovation *

" W-What are these strange sounds? "

" it's a sound of ovations ! … do they greeting someone? Let's follow the sounds "

After the intense curiosity dominated Maya ... she ran quickly ignoring Koja…

" Hey you … W-Wait Baka … do you even hear me? "

So Koja ran after her …. And at the end Maya was right … all the people of the town were in the front bank chanting someone's name…!!! So … it's really a welcoming festival?!

" Baka … don't run suddenly like that … I don't want to cast doubts on me … Ah, It seems that someone important will come here......! "

…

…!!

Koja stopped talking after noticing the angry face Maya was making…

" K-Kuso ! he must be … He must be one of the important members of the organization "

" Ah? how did you know that? Perhaps he is an opponent of the organization ... like a member of the criminals' hunters … and those people seeing him someone very important ... after all, some citizens oppose the system of the organization and they are not afraid to show that in public "

In the last part of koja's words … he certainly meant those people they were beside MR. dono's shop … from that day.

Even the convincing argument is given by Koja ... Maya denied everything koja said ... and with a cold tone she said:

" What are you talking about? The welcoming festivals are never prepared randomly ... The town must take the permit for its establishment ... and the organization will never allow a welcoming festival for a member of the criminals' hunters … What is happening here ... must be for a member of the special organization … and look for those faces … Look at their faces ... These faces ... These laughs ... These chants ... Absolutely they are all fake ... What is happening in this town? "

And what Maya said … was enough to make koja make that face again…

That face he did not make since the first moment Maya entered his home…

That depressed and cold looks again … yeah, that meant he didn't like what Maya said.
