"Before we start searching for him though," I have just asked her to help search for Danny with me, and she has agreed. However, before that, "I'm Irium Glice. A bada.s.s."

I introduce myself, quite truthfully at that.

"Ookaaayy! Nice to meet you, sir." She says with an awkward smile and continues, "I'm Adonia Evans, a traveler who is currently visiting this country."

Wait! She is a traveler?

"I … see."

But as she sees my expression, looks like my thoughts get through to her as she nods in denial and says,

"Don't worry. I have come to know the area at least well-enough to help you look for your friend." She says with a smile.

Well, that's good to hear. To be honest though, the goal isn't really to get to him but to bring him to us. After all, the person we came here for seems to be in front of me.

"Well, shall we get going then?"

She asks with a smile and I have no reason to say no, aside from a question that has been bugging me.

In a country that after having two of its parts being made into separate countries, still remains the seventh largest in the world, how are we supposed to find Danny? I mean, yes, I know he's not going to be on another end of the country or anything cause the author isn't totally an a.s.shole but still, this place is too d.a.m.n large! How are we supposed to find a Danny in here?

*****

Well, seeing how it is quite hard to find Danny like this, I decided I should a pay a visit to a local doctor and start asking about him, and so I told Roswaisa, or Adonia, to take me to the nearest clinic. But as we arrive there, we see that there is a big line. Actually, it's just 5 people but still, they look like they have been waiting for too long and are irritated out of their minds right now.

Seeing their irritation clear on their faces, I and Adonia simply stand a little away (because there are no seats) and wait. And then,

"Mane heklo chhodo ra!" or so comes the voice of a man loud enough for me to start remembering of Loudred from Pokémon. Man, that thing was an annoying creature!

As I look in the direction the voice came in, I see a 6 feet tall man with a moustache in the shape of a car's steering handle, looking quite angry, and showing that anger to a 5'3 man with moustache and beard arranged in the shape of the steering of a car. The little one needed to look at the sky to have the big one in his view and then,

"Naa oye!" the small one says in an equally angry voice and then tries to hit the big one on his head, but he had to jump to reach it so … yeah, that's what we have the word 'lol' for.

Well, Irium, ignore it. There's no point in getting involved with a couple of Loudreds. Yes, ignore it, ignore it.

"That looks serious." Adonia states quite worriedly.

"Is one of the two your lover?" I ask in a disappointed voice and she jumps in surprise and then becomes angry and says,

"Does it look like I have time for that!?"

Wow! It's like you are some kind of celebrity with no time to spend on relations.h.i.+ps. Too bad, you are just a foolish little woman who had to beg me for being summoned.

"If it's not the case," I continue without retorting to that, "then ignore them."

Hearing that, Adonia looks back at the two, then looks at me, then looks back at the two, then at me. What? Are you trying to decide which one of us you should marry or something? Well, I had actually intention to actually ask that but she says before I could,

"I think we should help out."

She says in a slightly awkward manner, regaining a bit of a smile on her face. Good, good! You look better with a smile.

"So, anyway," I ask dejectedly, "if you wanna help out, at least tell me what they just spouted?"

I knew this was going to happen so I am not that disappointed, but being dejected is a different.

"What just happened?" I ask while looking at Adonia, who answers with a frown,

"From what I know, that little guy is the older brother of the big guy."

Why? Is this Fullmetal Alchemist?

"The little brother said, "Leave me alone!" and the older one retorted with, "No, fool!" Well, that's what I can understand so far."

I see. A siblings squabble, huh? Interesting! I wonder what happened. Are they fighting over the same woman or something like that? I mean, that's like the plotline of half of Indian romance movies, so maybe it actually used to happen a lot in these days.

And by the way, the plotline of the other half is Romeo-Juliet rip-offs, i.e., family being against the 'love'. Seriously, come up with a new plotline for your romance movies, India.

Anyway,

"How are you going to help them?" I ask her and she replies immediately,

"First let's go and listen to what has been troubling them."

As I hear that, I close my eyes, sigh, then open them and put a hand on Adonia's shoulder as I say,

"The fan reception for you isn't as strong as me anyway, don't go saying things that generic anime waifus do." I say quite humbly, "Or the best market they'll have for you is meme-market."

Though if you are a character of Irium, you can't really escape the meme-market but still, there's a difference being used for memes because you are too bada.s.s (like Escanor) and being used for memes because you are a jacka.s.s (like Estarossa).

"SCREW IT ALL!" and then a stupid voice of a stupid person comes from somewhere and brings me out of the meme-meditation I had secretly gone in. As I hear it, without anger, without contempt, like a saint, I say in a simple voice,

"Well, that's Danny!"
