Well, the person behind left the request to that specific mage from Lamia Scale, so Hyōen found it more than necessary to complete it. His guild was sure to become famous around these areas after his journeys have calmed down, but right now, he had to focus on this quest. On the way towards the center of the town, he stepped into a guy that appeared to target him specifically. “O-Oh, is it you..?” the strange voice spoke even before Hyōen had a change to open his mouth, “Finally, I found you! So is it a yes? Will you help me?” Sweating a little after the bump, the Fire Mage scratched the back of his head and assured: “Yeah, yeah, I’ll help you..!” With a teeth-revealing smile, Dacol eased down again and asked Hyōen to follow him. The Fire Mage nodded as he strived across the streets with the client.
“Even you look scared… what’s so worrying about this ball, anyway?” he asked while resting his hands behind his head. Dacol turned his face towards him for a brief moment, then turned it forward and spoke: “It’s just… it’s very strange to occur in this town. We’ve still yet to fathom Magic fully, and then mysterious occurences such as this happens…” He sounded a bit tired in his voice, so he must’ve been worried all night after hearing the story from Dex- wait, if the so-called detective was to tell him the details, then what exactly did he tell him? Thinking about that, Hyōen sweated intensely and Coda could see that as she flapped her wings to try and wipe the sweat off. “…D-D-D-Did Dex… tell you something s-special..?” he struggled to ask the male. Dacol turned his head up and replied: “The ball is supposedly hostile at contact. He told me that we can’t touch it without suffering… he also told me to take care of you; something weird happened to you while you were near the ball, no?” Being reminded, Hyōen simply looked down with a worried face, which Dacol could notice as he shut it.
“The ball appeared to have a more… humanoid form, though,” Dacol mentioned. Turning up, Hyōen put question marks all over his head as he asked: “W-Wait, what kind of form? Who did it look like..?!”
