Sacrifice: Time of Mine

"I thought you want to show me around your house?"

"But you've already seen it all," Temon answered in a low voice.

"What?"

"No, don't play innocent. You lied earlier, right?" Fobo stood up but with his small yet round body, he didn't have to hunch over.

"Eh?" Avion was confused by Fobo's remark. If he was conscious of what was truly happening he will get baffled by the audacity of this little fat man, "What earlier?"

"You said you're not an Elementalist!"

"But I am not."

"Okay." Fobo then quietly sat down.

"...."

He then leaned to the side and whispered, "I think he's lying... we're doomed."

The two just stared at him as if they were looking at a freak.

Naron squinted his eyes and observed Avion's expression and reaction as he mumbled, "I think he's saying the truth." he then asked Avion, "You're really not an Elementalist?"

"... no, I am not one."

"So you are not tricking us?" Naron sharpened his senses and had an inspecting look.

"No..." Avion shook his head.

Temon sighed in relief, "Oh, I fought you are tricking us to capture Fobo and butcher his fatass for fun."

"Huh!? Why me?!"

"No, why would I do that?" Avion reacted with a weird expression.

"You look innocent enough. I guess we are just jumping to conclusions." Naron said with an apologetic tone, "So where's the money?" his eyes shone.

"What money?" Avion frowned.

"To tell you the truth, we are actually robbing you." Naron still had his apologetic tone as he crossed his burly arms in front of his broad chest, "If you don't give us the money, Fobo here is going to get his ass butchered."

"You both wanted to kill me?!"

"Ah... don't kill him." Avion gravely took it, "But I don't have any money..."

"I think he's lying," Temon whispered as he leaned to the side.

"I think so too. What kind of a noble child had no money on their pocket?" Naron could imagine such a scenario.

"Noble.....?" Avion asked under his breath.

"We don't believe you don't have any money on you." Temon arrogantly harrumphed, "Reveal it, if you don't, Fobo will plead in front of you!" he intimidatingly sharpened his eyes.

"I guess that's fine..."

"But I don't really have... you can look at my pocket." Avion stood up with a lowered head not to touch the ceiling.

"If we see a single Bron, it's ours!" Naron shamelessly said as the other two followed and searched every pocket of Avion.

As they touched the soft fabric of Avion's outfit, they were overridden with jealousy. But they didn't have it in them to steal this seemingly innocent young man's clothes and let him get home alone and naked.

Upon getting close to him, it was no longer just the outfit they were envying.

'Fuck, he smells nice...' Fobo frowned as he searched the sides.

'What smooth and white skin. Is this the bloodline of a noble?' Temon was biting his lips from frustration as he searched the limbs and behind.

Meanwhile, Naron had his head turned away while he was searching the front, 'Is this really a man? I haven't seen the new princess in the capital but I think this boy is definitely cuter than her!...' he feared, 'I might turn gay.'

"I think there's really nothing. Not a single bron." Fobo scratched his bald head.

"Yep, nothing here." Temon shook his head with a disappointed sigh.

"Yeah..." while Naron still had his head turned away.

After the three sat down, Avion followed. Meanwhile, Naron was blushing like a creep.

"Ehem!" Naron cleared his throat to get their attention, "So you seriously have no money?"

"You're just like us..." Fobo whispered in hope.

"I really don't have." Avion just smiled. Not bothered by it. It was not like he needed it in the first place or desired to have.

"Did something happen at your house?" Temon raised an eyebrow as he asked.

The story of this young "noble" seemed complicated. He was walking down the road of the slums with no money on him while his family name unknown. There was one explanation for this. He was exiled from his family.

After jumping to this conclusion, the three felt empathy and guilt.

'How could we do this to such a poor boy?'

"My house?" Avion thought back to his old house and nothing comes to mind, "Nothing, why do you ask?"

'He's trying to hide it...' the three felt pity more and more.

"Then, why are you here?" Fobo asked.

"I..." Avion had a troubled face. He was used to escaping reality and coming back at what really happened saddened him, "... just want to think for a while."

They didn't know what really happened, but the three felts sad for Avion.

"What are you going to do from now on?"

"I don't know."

"You're not going back to your house?"

"I can't." it was not that he can't but Avion didn't know how and if he successfully comes back to his time, could he return to where there are people again? To be sure, he wanted to explore this world fully first before he decides to come back home.

"...." the three looked at each other and then nodded.

"Your name is Avion, right?" Naron smiled which Avion nodded back, "You want to stay here for a while?"

Hearing this, Fobo and Temon smiled, accepting him whole-heartedly. This must be from guilt too.

Avion's eyes widened when he received this offer.

"Why would I want to stay here?"

"Oh..." the three's head suddenly dropped.

'We're sorry if our humble home is not enough for you!' they cried inside.

However, Avion frowned, "You haven't even shown me your house yet even though you said it earlier. Then you are going to let me stay here?"

'What, is he pouting? Is he a girl? He's so cute!' the three thought, no longer annoyed by Avion's reaction.

"But..." Naron said with a bead of sweat and a stiff smile, "As we said earlier, you've already seen it."

"Where?" Avion was confused.

"This, here..." Naron point at the ground while Fobo pointed at the ceiling and Temon pointed at the wall.

Avion blinked in disbelief, "This is your house?"
