Never Ending Woes Part I [Noir/Job]

"What lovely weather today..."

Noir would turn her head to face Ja’Ro, the white haired man who she befriended not too long ago. He randomly said a weird thing and the black haired magician was not sure about how to answer it, but she thought if she kept being quiet then he might think she was rude. “Uh… it is humid though…” There, she said it with her usual no expression face. But darn it all, her incapability to think about something nice to say made her spout a total nonsense. Well, not entirely a nonsense, but she should at least capable to tell a white lie and played along as if the weather was really lovely.

Today it was just her and the man alone at that area while both Haku and Kuzunoha were resting together at her dorm, she knew they were tired from all the walking from the other day and would let them bond more as they rest together. She wouldn’t lie but it felt a little bit awkward though, she didn’t know much about this man but something within him was kind of familiar although she couldn’t tell why.

The next words coming from the man’s lips was about the way to bring balance and what Noir would suggest to him about it. This one made the golden eyed girl raised an eyebrow, thinking that this one was a hard question. “Perhaps assessing your life first would be the first thing you should do… I am not sure though. It was a hard question.” As she said that, she could feel something crawling on her leg, making it way up slowly. “Hmm?” Noir would look down and looked at her legs, noticing a spider was there and she would quickly slap it away, making it fall to the ground. However, she would notice it was not just a spider there, but multiple… no, countless spider would be seen approaching both of them.

The numbers of the spiders seemed too many to count and although she didn’t really have any phobias or traumas related to spiders, seeing that black things crawling on the ground sent a shiver to her spine. “I heard the rumor about spiders causing a disturbance to this certain tribe…maybe they are back again. We should inform the tribe, let’s make a run there.” She would say to Ja’Ro before making a sprint, knowing where she needed to head. Of course the thought of using magic to burn the spiders was in her mind, but they were countless and she thought by doing so will just tire her out. Well for now she could only hope the white haired man would also run beside her… if not, then may he rest in peace.

The spiders were not that fast as they really took a leisure time to crawl but the black haired girl thought that the sooner she deliver the message to the tribe, the quicker they can exterminate the spiders. If she wasn’t wrong, she remembered hearing that they managed to get rid of the spiders before and by working together with them, she and hopefully, Ja’Ro, could make sure the spiders would never be back anymore.

By the time she reached the village border, she would gather her might and shouted, “Spiders!”

The black haired girl was quickly approached by the villagers, they looked really worried and that made Noir noticed she had come the right village. When she looked around and scanned the faces of the villagers, some of them was familiar to her because she met some of them when she was exploring The Plains. However the young magician would try to not waste any more second and she would begin to explain about the spiders. She would start from how she noticed there was a swarm of spiders appearing from nowhere and went on to this rumor that she heard about a village that dealt with spiders infection before as well as giving discussing some of the ways with the villager about how to exterminate the spiders for good.

Of course, Noir would expect Ja'Ro to give some suggestion on how to get rid the spiders as well. But in the end, she decided to let the village to decide on what to do and help them when they need it.
