Chapter 26 - Ajax's Adventure! Jwiler dilemma!

After Ryizen gets his Cursed Sword Shūnō he walks back to the greet spot. However Ryizen isn't the only one stirring up trouble as Ajax continues his walk down the path with Jwiler trying to tell him something.

Ajax has been walking for approximately 10 minutes now. Unbeknownst to himself Jwiler is still following him.

"Ajax w-wait w-wait up!" Jwiler pants behind Ajax.

"Oh you're still following me? I thought you had butler duties to handle." Ajax says looking over his shoulder yet still walking.

"Yes I have to tell you something import- CAN YOU STOP WALKING PLEASE IM EXHAUSTED!" Jwiler finally yells, getting some attention from some nearby town people.

"Jeez what's your deal? I'm just exploring the town. Never said you have to follow me." Ajax says simply.

"Yes but I have to tell you something important. Something that's happening in the near future." Jwiler says panting as he comes to a stop beside Ajax.

"Never noticed before but you're extremely beat up and bloody and your hair is a mess." Ajax says observantly.

"Ohh I uhm well Jwiler, you see." Jwiler sputters over and over again.

"I can't let him know that Master Nagama hit me, or he'll pick a fight with him!" Jwiler says to himself.

"Your doing that thing where you talk like your not Jwiler. Rumi was right, you do do that alot." Ajax chuckles.

"Yeah just laugh at Jwiler how funny." Jwiler says subconsciously doing it again. "Yeah just keep laughing at that and forget about my wounds." He thinks to himself.

"Anyways, got any bread shops or anything I'm starving." Ajax says looking around.

"He has such a one track mind. How is he worth 50,000 Ryō?" Jwiler mumbles to himself. "Ajax I gotta tell you something man can you just." Jwiler says before looking up to see Ajax already gone.

"HOW CAN HE JUST SNEAK OFF SO EASILY!!!" Jwiler panics.

After a bit of searching Jwiler finds Ajax at a pastry shop eating bread.

"I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU KNOW?!" Jwiler says out of breath.

"Oh? Didn't notice." Ajax says swallowing some bread.

"How?!" Jwiler says before inevitably sighing.

A long awkward silence follows.

"Want some bread?" Ajax offers.

"Sure why not." Jwiler says taking the bread and taking a bite out of it.

"Those wounds of yours seemed to have been shallow." Ajax says.

"Observate as always huh?" Jwiler says still eating the bread. "But yes, Jwiler can. I guess you can say Jwiler is lucky." Jwiler says.

"Lucky huh? Oh yeah wait since you're a butler doesn't that mean you fight and stuff?" Ajax asks excitedly.

"Right he still thinks I'm a butler." Jwiler groans to himself. "No I don't fight what kinda butler does that? Butlers cleans and ....serve their masters and stuff." He says.

"Oh but Ishida fights and he's so badass when he does it." Ajax says before taking a massive sip of water.

"Right, forget your rolling with a butler." Jwiler says.

"Say where is your group anyways. I mean as their leader shouldn't you round them up and stuff?" He asks.

"Eh? No way that sounds like a lot of work. Besides, we're meeting back at uhhhhh. Where was it again?" Ajax says scratching his head.

"You seriously don't know where your own group is? So much of a leader you are." Jwiler snorts.

"Oh yeah and what your master is just so much better than me?" Ajax says.

"Yes Master Nagama is the greatest of leaders in the entire Black Hollows. No one dares to step up to him and there's a good reason he's strong and will annihilate anyone that stands in his way of-." Jwiler blurts out before immediately covering his mouth.

"Oh yes it's only right to defend your master. Ishida did the same thing to his previous master. Though now I do suppose that I am considered his new master." Ajax says ignoring Jwiler's little outburst.

Suddenly a waitress walks over to the table.

"I'm glad you two are enjoying the food. And I'm assuming you two are done correct?" She asks politely.

"Oh yeah I think I've had enough for now until I get Ishida to cook something up for us." Ajax says sighing and stretching back.

"Uhh yeah I suppose." Jwiler says a little nervously.

"Fine then so I'm assuming you'll be the one paying?" She asks, looking at Ajax.

"Me? Ohhhh. I thought those were just free samples. I'm out of money." Ajax says chuckling. "My friend here can handle it." He says laughing as he stands up.

"S-sure I suppose let me see how much." Jwiler says reaching into his pocket.

"Sure thing young one! The total would be 12,389 Ryō." She says.

Jwiler eyes nearly pop out of his head.

"12,389 Ryō!! HOW MUCH BREAD DID YOU GET!" Jwiler yells at Ajax.

"Hmm let's see there was that fresh bread. That very sweet one. Ooooo. Even that loaf of bread." Ajax says rambling.

"You're not helping." Jwiler deadpans.

"He in total ate 120 loaves of bread." The waitress says.

"ONE HUNDRED AND 20! Where are you even putting that?" Jwiler says, staring at Ajax.

"Well are you gonna pay or not sir?" The waitress ask again, not as politely as before.

"Uhh yes just uhm. We'll." Jwiler sputters.

"Damn I don't have that type of money! Master Nagama never gives me that much money to use willingly. Damn what am I gonna do? She's going to tell her boss if I don't pay." Jwiler thinks to himself slightly panicking. "Uhh. M-ma'am please put the t-tab on M-master Nagama's bill p-please." Jwiler says with his eyes closed and gritted teeth.

"Sure thing! You two have a great day and please come back!" The waitress says with a smile before walking back into the pastry shop.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Master Nagama is gonna kill me!" Jiwler panics to himself.

"Why thanks for paying for that I could fork over that money. Well I'm gonna head back to my friends. Hey there, probably waiting for me." Ajax says walking away.

"Wait, I got so caught up in the bill I forgot to tell Ajax about what Nagama wants!" Jwiler says to himself, snapping himself out of his panic.

"Hey Ajax, wait up, I have to tell you something really important!" Jwiler yells as he chases after Ajax.
