《This Troublesome Adventure》Chapter 22: We meet again
Advertisement
After the commotion and celebrations died down, the crowd slowly begun diserpating.
It appears not all of the government official left with the Governor, two officials and one guard stayed behind to set up a table and chair with paper work soon to be stacked on top of.
Near the fence of the mansion, one of the officials is now seated with a stack of paperwork while the other walked around gathering people in a line while holding a clipboard. The guard was simply standing beside the table performing his guard duties.
“There appears to be slaves amongst the people they are grouping up Aras.”
“I see that, I wonder what’s happening?”
“Oh look, the slave girl from before is also there. It looks like she hasn’t noticed us yet.”
“Yeah, why don't we go up to them and see what's going on.”
Separating from the now mostly dissipated crowd, we make our way towards the setup at the mansion fence.
“Excuse me sir, what is happening at the moment?”
The official holding the clipboard turns in my direction from my query.
He looks at me up and down before deciding to reply.
“These are the workers and slaves previously owned by Sir Bellado, we are processing them through their contracts and documents.”
“I understand, does that mean they will be free after this?”
“Yes, I suppose you can say that, once we are finished with the process, they are left to their own devices.”
“I see, thank you very much sir, have a nice day.”
Looks like once the government process is completed, our operation is 100% successful.
Daami seems to have gone over to chat with the slave girl already.
“So Aras, how did it go?”
“Well they said they are just processing contracts and documents to basically release everyone officially.”

“Oh that's great news! Did you hear that Milia?”
The slave girl nods before speaking.
“Thank you for helping us, my name is Milia, I s-suppose this is the third time we have met, m-master Aras?”
“So we meet again, also no need for master, we are not anyone special, just call me Aras.”
“U-uh, ok, I understand.”
Ah she’s pretty tensed up, or even using the word scared to describe her?
“It’s ok Milia, he might look stupid but scary, mean and strict, but he’s quite reliable.”
Oi.
“Your big sister Daami here will back you up if he bullies you, hehe.”
…
I grab Daami by her collar,
“Don’t worry Milia, let’s talk more after you are finished with the release process. It seems Daami has told you some ‘good’ things about me hm?”
“U-um, ok I understand, I will wait patiently, mast- uhm, Aras and Daami.”
“I’ll be ok Milia! He won’t hurt me! See you soon!”
No no no, you will be in a world of hurt.
As I try to think of ways to punish this stupid idiot, I drag her away from the line by her collar.

Almost an hour has gone by until all the ex staffs and slaves of Sir Bellado were released.
Milia makes her way over to us the moment they were released.
“Oh how did it go Milia?”
“It went smoothly I think, I didn’t really understand everything but they handed me back my slave contract with a big red stamp across it and after removing our collers and chains they said we were all free to go. By the way, what happened to Daami?”
After separating from Milia earlier, I had pulled Daami behind a tree and put her in a headlock before giving her a good old ‘noogy’, a technique I learned from my otherworld knowledge. The victim is put in a headlock and using a hand clutch in a fist, vigorous rubbing to the forehead is performed to induce pain. I did it so well I almost thought I saw smoke searing off her head.

She’s now behind me sulking and not making a noise.
“Ah don’t worry about her, she accidently tripped,”
I turned towards her as I continued,
“Right Daami?”
With the threatening glare I gave, Daami nods up and down quickly.
“I see…?” Milia looks like she has a question mark hovering on her face.
“Anyways Milia, that’s great news! Now you’re free to do whatever you want right?”
“Oh um, yes. The other slaves have decided to return to their homes and villages they were take from, some with no homes to return to decided to stay in the city to find a job or become an adventurer as a new free person. But for me I don’t have a home or village to return to and …”
She looks a bit gloomy when she got to this point. She looks visibly depressed.
“Is your past perhaps something you don’t want to talk about in public?”
Milia agrees with several nods.
“I see, that’s no problem, if you want to talk about it, let’s go somewhere quiet first.”
“Don’t worry Milia, we won’t force you if you don’t want to,”
Oh looks like Daami has decided to join in the conversation now.
“But if you do tell us, we will support you and listen to your story.”
“Ok. Thank you Daami, and thank you Aras.”
“No problem, let’s head to the park and find a nice spot.”
“Ok.”

Dragonslayer Awakens (The Flash Guardians series 1)
MaXabiere Berrygrewd, or Xabe for short, is a sixteen-year-old boy who lives in an enchanted world called Enchanteria, a place full of magic, wonders, and mysteries. And in that world, there are mortal heroes of any race called the Flash guardians: Who train and practice their magical abilities, talents, skills, and spells to stand against evil and become the forces of good. Xabe found them admirable, so a small part of him wanting to join them, but he only looks at a smaller picture as he lives in a peaceful, prosperous town of Yardsville in the landmass of Etheron. But his life was not all that peaceful, though. A long time ago, the greatest threat was created and caused nothing but chaos, death, and destruction. Devastrigon is its name: a colossal three-headed dragon that conquers the sky, wreak havoc on the earth, trembles the seas, and give wrath to the flames. Unlike the united clans of the dragons, this one is a king of its own, and thus it has followers that sought to take over the world- and so the dragon war began. Even the Flash guardians find this their greatest threat they had ever faced, but fortunately, awakened from his slumber, arise the legend known as the Dragonslayer: an unknown avenger that can outmatch any dragon with his strength and mighty roar. He had earned the out most respect from his deeds and power. However, what lies ahead of the slayer is not what it seems, for his purpose is to not bring an end- but to give a start. And that starts with MaXabiere, who, deep down, has an inner power that has been growing little by little as he uses them. Although, the inner power is still in a sleepy state and must be awakened in order to see the unimaginable potential. He must join alongside with the Flash guardians, must be trained by the Dragonslayer, and he must realize his true destiny in order to see the bigger picture by realizing what it's like to be a slayer, a guardian, and a hero. The very first installment of “The Flash guardians” series has forged the magical world, diverse characters, epic quests, and the beginning of a new legend of the Dragonslayer awakens. *Book cover is illustrated and designed by M.

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
