Re: Player

The younger girl, Anna, stood near the reception as she looked at the new girl with a surprised expression. Though looking at the lack of cautiousness, it seemed like she knew that girl from before.

And I stood there in between those two as I pondered for a while before speaking,

"Welcome to the Everyday Use Array. We got some beauty arrays that could cure wrinkles."

"What?" She couldn\'t properly register what I spoke as she looked at me, confused, before I turned to Anna.

"Your sister?"

"Umu. Sister Leena. How did you find me?" Anna asked as she looked at Leena, making her walk closer to her as she totally ignored me.

"Anna. Why did you run away from home? Do you have any idea how much I was worried?" Leena seemed furious as she held Anna\'s hand with force and began taking away from here.

But Anna used a bit of flame magic, burning Leena\'s hand a little but freeing herself.

"Learn Array. Too much bullying. I want to prove," she spoke as she pointed at me. Her eyes seemed determined enough, and from the story, it seemed like she was getting bullied.

"Anna!!" Shouted Leena with fury in her eyes, making Anna run towards me and then stand behind me.

"I won\'t go!!!!" Shouted Anna.

"Can you please take this outside? It\'s almost time for…. And you aren\'t listening," I sighed as I saw a Flame ball forming around Leena as she glared at me with those fiery eyes.

It was subtle, but I think I saw a circle forming on the ground around where she was standing before it vanished again.

"Why don\'t you clean the room?" I looked at Anna, who was focused on Leena. Though hearing my voice, she immediately turned to the corner and created a magic spark. That spark touched immediately activated the arrays.

"Flame ball!" Leena shouted as she attacked me. Though before the flame could reach me, water filled the entire room in an instant, reaching each point of the room.

Of course it didn\'t touch me, Anna or Leena. If there were any plants or any movable objects, then the water wouldn\'t have reached them as well. It was only for non-living, not moving objects.

And the next second, another spell activated that created a foam lather, absorbing all the dust and soon collecting at the center. As soon as the process was completed, the water vanished.

A small flame appeared burning the dust etc. into finer charcoal. Since it was magic water, it didn\'t create any problems with the book pages, etc. And another second passed, all the finer dust was carried by a wind to the nearest dustbin.

Anna was practically enchanted by the process as she looked around the shining room with her sparkling eyes. Even the floor, which was filled with dust, was now clean enough to see one\'s own face in it.

Leena, on the other hand, was blanked out for a second as she looked at the room around her. She took her sweet time as she collected her thoughts once again.

"I want to learn!!!" excited Anna held my shirt again, this time tightly as she focused on me.

"Was that an array?" Leena, who finalised her thoughts, looked at me carefully this time. It seemed like she was interested in that now.

"Kind of. I modified a few things over the basics," I spoke as I walked towards the reception while I continued," I have a few more if you are interested in them. Though I would like to know if there is anything specific you need."

She narrowed her eyes at me as she spoke," If this is a trickery to get me, then it won\'t work. I will never go out with a human."

"Ah! You misunderstood. I was just conducting business. Anna, take out the third book from the 4th shelf on the left." I guided Anna, and she immediately nodded before I went around the reception.

Standing there, I looked at Leena as I joked,"And I don\'t date women who try to burn me to a crisp."

Anna brought the book which contained the catalogue of the types of Array I can make. Which I opened in front of Leena as I spoke,

"See if you can find anything you like. They are quite useful in their own way."

Leena and Anna both looked at the Arrays together as she began turning the pages. Her eyes lit up at a few of them and noticing the line of sight, I saw that she was observing the beauty and cleaning products.

"Those are quite popular among the women around here. I can give you a 20% discount since it\'s your first time. Wanna try it?" I asked her. She turned to me, wondering if she wanted to buy it or not.

"Anna. Give me the blank pages, from the 2nd shelf," I asked and Anna looked at me, before moving towards the shelf and bringing the pages.

Taking out the magic pen, I began drawing the Arrays in their presence. At first, they were confused, but as they saw my speed and accuracy, combined with the complexity of the array, their faces turned amazed.

It took about a minute to finish it before I passed it to her.

"Use it," I spoke as I smiled at her, while she looked at the array for a moment. I don\'t know if it was the atmosphere, but she didn\'t verify the array and just used it immediately.

A blob of water appeared around her hair, and just like the process before, with a couple of added steps, her hair was cleaned in an instant. She didn\'t even need to remove the hat.

Taking out the mirror, I showed her face to her, making her eyes wide open as she touched her glowing hair. From her smile and shiny eyes, she seemed to really like it.

"All right. That would be 1 silver 60 bronze with the discount," I spoke as I looked at her, making her turn at me with a stupefied look before she took out the coins.

"Do you need anything else?" I asked, as she shook her head.

"Okay then. Please come again if you need anything," I bowed to her politely as she nodded and then moved towards the gate.

"Am I forgetting something?" she murmured. She paused for a second before she opened the door and then, with a confused mind, she went out of the shop.

"How long do you think she would recall?" I turned to Anna, who seemed to be still looking at the Door.

"Recall?" Anna was confused as well, as she looked at me, wondering what I was saying. I guess both the sisters are dumb.

-Bang!

The door opened up once again with a loud noise, as a heavily breathing Leena stood there, glaring at me and Anna.

"I… huff.. huff… forgot that I came here for Anna," she spoke as she caught her breath.

"Oh!" Anna spoke, recalling as well, as I just stood there watching these idiots.
