BXBX NOVEL Chapter 129 - The Beach!
As the sun shone down on the glittering sand, a party of 4 individuals entered the popular beach.
"Ohhh, it looks awesome" Said Ariel as she looked around
The sand sparkled as reflected the sunlight, the cool breeze passed through their bodies as they wore less baggy clothes, and the water stretched out as far as the eye could see.
"After coming from a snow biome... This place looks like heaven" John muttered
"You\'re right about that..." Said Serena who looked sort of sick
Anyone could clearly tell why
"Serena, you sure you don\'t need to take off the hat?" john asked
Serena was hesitating on a reply, seeing this, john got an idea
"Wait here for a moment" Said John before running off in the direction of the shops they passed by
"What\'s he planning this time?" Serena asked
"Some sort of new spell probably?" Said Ariel
***
"Oh, I can see him" Ariel said as she pointed at him
"Yeah, what\'s he carrying?" Serena asked
John was gone for around 2 minutes, when he came back, he brought a straw hat with him.
"Here use this." Said john when he came back
"What sort of hat is this?" Serena asked as she took off hat
Her short silky silver hair had grown longer, it made her look more feminine and mature. Ariel\'s hair had also gotten longer.
"It\'s a straw hat, I saw it when we were passing by. It\'s good for warm environments and helps against the sun" John explained
"Is it really that good?" Serena asked before trying it on
When she did, she made a surprised face and her mouth turned into the shape of a triangle
"Uh-Serena?"
"How much did this cost?" Serena asked as she pulled out her purse
"Ah, don\'t worry about it, think of it as a gift" John replied
"Then, I owe you a gift" Said Serena
"Then that ruins the whole point..." John muttered
She seemed rather happy with the sun hat, I guess it was better than the super-hot, mage hat that she had.
Straw hats had holes in them for better air circulation after all.
Next to this amazing beach was an abnormally tall yellow tower, which sort of blocked the sun.
"Yet people seem to play around it and ignore it..." John muttered
"Let\'s get going" Said master as she headed toward the female changing room
While john went towards the wooden male changing room, the girls went towards the female room which was on the other side
There were many places to change around the beach, as john walked towards the nearest one, he observed how people acted in the beach.
And contrary to his initial expectations, it was just like how it was in his previous life. There were people swimming around, families watching over their kids, people resting under the umbrella, and there were even some people sunbathing
"FIGHT!"
"ON!"
"LOUDER! FIGHT!"
"ONN!!"
And then there were the people who were running around the beach and doing their training.
Suddenly, john bumped into someone while he was distracted
"Ah, sorry, I was distracted."
It was a guy who looked like he was in his sixteens, beside him were 2 other guys, and they seemed to be hitting on a girl.
She had long braided brown hair with brown eyes and wore a red bikini swimsuit. Her proportions were good and she was in shape. John could tell why she was getting hit on
She looked troubled, but all she had to do was tell them to go away, Since it was none of his business john was about to walk away as he was right in front of changing room
"Oi... You made me drop my drink" Said the guy who john had bumped into
"My bad, I\'ll buy you a new one, how much was It?"
The guy who was next to him answered
"3 gold coins"
"3 gold coins for a drink? Wow really?! That\'s so cheap, sure, let\'s go inside, I need to organise my stuff"
Said john as he pointed at his backpack
The guys then started to smile amongst each other when they heard this
"Ah... Right, that reminds me... This was a special drink, so it\'s actually 10 gold coins"
"No, It\'s 15 gold coins, why are you being nice to him?"
"Because it was an accident... Which is why I\'ll give him a discount"
"*Sigh* Fine... I\'ll allow 12 gold coins, I\'ll give him a discount"
As john watched them try to persuade him, that they were being nice, and giving it to him for cheap. The girl who they were hitting on suddenly spoke up
"Why are you guys trying to rip-off a kid? Hey, kid, listen, that drink was worth 3 silver coins." She said
"Really?" John asked while faking a surprised expression
"S-She\'s lying, why don\'t we go talk about this inside?" The guy asked as started to slowly push john inside
"Tch, kid scream for help. These guys will run when you do"
"For such a cute face, you have quite an attitude." One of the guys said as they placed their hands on her shoulder
"Don\'t touch me, or I\'ll have to resort to self-defence."
"Huh? What is this girl talking about?" Asked the guy as he started to laugh
"I think she\'s gone crazy from receiving attention"
"Self-defence huh, give me your best shot, bab-
Before the guy could even finish, his body had suddenly done a 180 and hit head was pointed to the ground.
And just like that, his head was inserted into the ground. John who saw this was surprised
"Mmph mmhph mmph"
He was trying to talk but there was no luck
The other guys who saw this started to tremble
"A-Ah, that reminds me, I-I uh forgot something at home" Said one of them before running off
"W-Wait for me!" Said the second one, before following behind
The one who had his head in the sand, suddenly forced it out before slowly walking away, as if he had the worst day of his life.. He didn\'t even look at john or the girl.
