The next day when Aerin woke up…
Hey old man, what's for breakfast?
Then Aerin waited for an answer, but then he remembered…
Oh, that's right. He's not here anymore.
I guess I'll have to make my own breakfast from now on.
Then Aerin went downstairs and turned on the stove to start making breakfast…
What do I want? Bacon and eggs or bacon and pancakes? Bacon and eggs seems easier.
Then Aerin got out three eggs and four strips of bacon…
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, pop!
Ah shit! I forgot the bacon pops because of the grease.
Damn, that stings.
Ah, whatever.
After Aerin finished his breakfast…
Oh, that's right, we are back to completing missions today. I need to get going.
Aerin then left to meet up with his team…
Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I kinda forgot about today.
"You okay Aerin?" Lio asked.
"You look tired," Lio added.
Ya I'm fine. My old man died yesterday. But everyone dies.
"What the hell man!" Lio yelled.
"You are not fine," Lio said.
No really, I'm fine.
"Your old man died, you are not fine," Lyra said, worried.
Whatever guys, let's just get back to work.
"I guess that's fine, but don't let it distract you on today's mission," Mr. Sato added.
I won't. I've excepted the fact that he is in a better place now.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Sato asked.
Nothing, forget about it.
Then our main character and his team left to complete their next mission…
"Okay guys, our mission is to escort a young man to The Northern Territories. The Northern Territories have no major powers, so I suspect that this should be a relatively easy mission, but it is a long one. The Northern Territories are 10,000 kilometers north of our village, so it will be a challenge. We are going to pick the young man up, he is about 2 km north of the village in a small town called Kamakura. Anyway, that's the end of the briefing, let's increase the pace," Mr. Sato said as they were running towards Kamakura.
After 20 minutes, they arrived at Kamakura and picked up their client and started heading towards The Northern Territories…
"Ok sir, we expect this trip to take 30–40 days. So please don't slack behind," Mr. Sato told the client.
"I understand. I'm quite fit, so I shouldn't hold you guys back too much, but…are you sure that its okay for six year olds to be escorts?" The client asked.
"May I ask your name sir?" Mr. Sato replied.
"My name is Ben," Ben replied.
"These kids are some of the most skilled assassins in our village. Especially their leader, they are more than qualified," Mr. Sato told Ben.
"Okay, I will leave it to them then," Ben replied reluctantly.
