Chapter 21
"Hmmm… Tom… That is really interesting." The guild master muttered out while thinking something before he shouted out, "Tom, I know you are here! Come forward now." Tom, who was just about to leave, suddenly stiffened like a statue, gulped out nervously before turning around and walked towards the Guild Master. "Tom, I want the records from the examination. Where is the memory crystal? Do not tell me that some unfortunate thing happened to the memory crystal as well." The Guild Master asked out while sizing Tom up. He was clearly disappointed. Tom stammers, “I uh…uh.” But before Tom could even construct his sentence to answer the question, the other elder came forward and said, "Here are the records, Guild Master. I was interested in her since she should at least get some points. Yet, she got full zero, so I wanted to see the records myself." After saying that, the elder gave the records to the Guild Master. "Sir, we inspected the ship and the

Arwin was happily whistling while following the guild master. She completely forgot Timothy for now, who was having the worst crisis in his life now. He had finally found out a genuine mechanic, maybe even an airship captain, but she went and offended his boss child, and Silas was still an essential part of his plan like Arwin was. So what if Arwin would join the guild now where he would get another mechanic? Timothy’s fears are now being realized as he didn't even notice that Arwin had already left as he was pondering what he should do next. Arwin was clever, and Timothy knew that if he were in Arwin’s shoes, he’d immediately dismiss Silas’ offer- the guild can offer her twice as much. And here, she wouldn’t have to pretend she’s a guy. Timothy’s heart was racing as he was thinking what he should do. "So, as I said, you will randomly draw three of the items and two you can choose, but firstly let's see where your pistol is." The guild

The only way for me to survive the heist is by escaping from the city to the wilderness. They wouldn't be happy that their warehouse was looted, after all. I guess I still need Timothy to at least how know the outside world is looking like.' Arwin silently thought about her plan to rob the place. She also knew that she wouldn't be able to do it on her own and that she needed help from someone who is trustworthy enough. Arwin was still in deep thought when she noticed the Guild Master come out. "Your luck really is extraordinary. All of the items you got are in this backpack, that is also your third item, and it's another failed experience of a spatial space. Despite that, it still can store nearly seventy liters while the toolbox can only store near to ten liters." He explained. "As I said before, it's an experiment and could be unstable, so I won't guarantee that they won't explode later on. For the other two items, I guess I will let you check them

Arwin couldn't get the image of the ship out of head for even a second. Because of this, she aimlessly walked out of the guild. She also failed to remember what the Guild Master had told her after introducing the airship. Add to the fact that she didn't realize how the people who once were mocking her now were whispering her name in an excited manner as well. She didn’t care about anything else. When she also got outside, she just walked past the nervous Timothy, who was waiting for her patiently. Earlier, when he realized that he didn't know where Arwin went, he decided to wait for her outside of the main exit. Finally, when he saw Arwin, he waved at her and tried to call her name. After so much effort, he just ran towards her and stopped her. "Don't you recognize your first friend anymore? I tried to call you, but you just kept walking." Timothy said while trying to sound sorrowful; he looks away, “What? Just because they have a better offer, you’d

"Timothy, we would need some brute force if things go wrong or once the docking and the fuel are placed at the airship. So you would be really needed. Please, think this through." Arwin said while watching Timothy. “I agree.” Mark added, “This plan has less risks than yours, Timothy, and as much as I don’t want to admit it, we will need you aboard.” "I have to talk with my wife about this as well as with Marie. I need to know what they think about this first. I cannot promise anything for now," Timothy said as he nervously fidgeted his thumbs around, “It’s just… it’s too soon.” Arwin nodded, "Okay, we do understand. However, the offer will close after three days. Hopefully, by then, we are out of here," she said before drinking water again and continuing, "So, Timothy, can you tell me about the outside world, at least?" She asked cutely. Everyone was surprised at this sudden shift in her mood; Timothy asked, “Hey, what’s wrong with you? You’re like a

Chapter 26
Arwin and Mark had agreed to scout ahead tonight since she was feeling so much better. Aside from that, scouting was critical and could not be delayed. Arwin was to look and act like a man, which isn’t new to her nor difficult for her. She’s been doing it for as long as she can remember. However, when Mark saw Arwin, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. He was so shocked. Mark‘s unusually expressionless face was shocked to see Arwin like that. In front of him was now an elegantly dressed young man who didn't seem to be female at all. He was more likely looking at a frail young master from some noble family who had come to seek mischievous adventure. All traces of Arwin’s girl's side were gone. No one would suspect Arwin in this case. "What do you think, Mark? Is this good enough to flirt with women and fight with drunkards in the city?" Arwin asked with a smirk while placing the pistol inside her jacket. She had borrowed a rapier from the doctor, leaving her

'So the shift changes in half an hour it seems and always three people at the patrol. The patrols will stop for five minutes and search the area before meeting in the middle of the road and continuing, and one patrol takes one hour.' Arwin was noting things out silently while drinking water still. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure coming out from the guild. "Hey, beautiful flowers, can you do me a favor and go and bring that man out here for a drink for extra service, or if he touches any of you, I will pay extra," Arwin said before tossing a coin purse to the prostitutes that were waiting for their turn to earn money. "Okay young master, wait for a moment, and we will bring your esteemed friend here." One of the girls winked out, and they took their leave. Arwin winced internally. The money she loaned from Mark and the doctor was almost entirely spent. However, if this were successful, she would earn it back at least tenfold. "Back of your

"Drink more, my friend; the alcohol won't end at all," Arwin said while offering more alcohol to Tom. Tom had a few hiccups before he said, "Rooy, my goood frieennd! I cannot handdle annymoore, and I stillll haveee threee beauties thhaaat I need to saatisfy." His tone was half gibberish, and he was really drunk that the girls had to hold on to him that he could walk up the stairs without falling down. He did not even notice that he was calling his best friend 'Raymond' Roy. Tom was so wasted. However, the regulars at the bar looked at Arwin like she is some god of alcohol or drunkards. They were all thinking how it was possible for Arwin to be still standing as if nothing happened when the two that had drinks with her already passed out. Including Drunk Eric! They had watched the small, frail man drinking already over twenty glasses of ale, and he didn't seem to be drunk at all. Arwin was just humming happily and not showing any signs of stopping from

"Oh well, you didn't listen to the voice of reason and declared yourself as a murderer. I guess I might as well do this in an easy way," Arwin said as she dropped rapier and pulled out the already loaded pistol before she shot Vincent in point-blank range. Vincent suddenly collapsed. There was now a bleeding spot in his jeans as the bullet had penetrated his right leg. Arwin says, “I was only holding back because I’m afraid to get into trouble- my hands are currently full right now. But upon saying and announcing you’re a killer yourself, I’m just defending my self after all.” Everyone was silent. "Can someone go and get the guards here? They need to confirm things as I just shot a man that declared himself as a murder," Arwin asked loudly. Only then, they had started to realize what just happened. Even Jennifer, who saw Arwin as a gentle and kind soul, was astounded. Jennifer was wrong. Arwin was terrifying behind those slim physique and gent

"Here, our best jail for the young master," Smith said with a smirk. He was not making fun of Arwin as they were really giving her the best and most decent jail available. Aside from the fact that 'young master' was behaving in the entire journey to the prison, she also helped them capture the Phantom Murderer, once proven. Arwin was a hero. Smith even felt bad that Arwin had to be detained. Arwin stepped inside and saw it was quite a large cell. It had a private toilet and shower section with a real bed inside. There was also a writing table and a really well-made chair. "You will get every item you possess when you got released and proven innocent. For now, they are going to be stored in our warehouse," Smith said casually before leaving to take the items to the warehouse. ^In the same time at the bar^ "Captain, we have gathered every testimony, and everyone says they heard Vincent declared himself as the murderer. Vincent tried to attack th
