H.e.r.o. - Chapter 31
The two of them were now inside the hospital while waiting to hear about Rizal’s condition.
“So what do you think of him?”
Helios asked
” You can’t judge a book by its cover”
” yup, you’re right about that,
” by the way the name is Helios, Helios Black nice to meet you?”
” Andres Bonifacio, that’s my name”
The swordsman answered
” will nice to meet you Andres,
” so what do you think about this island?”
Helios asked
” it’s full of powerful individuals”
Andres replied
” yeah, this place is crawling with it,
” why don’t we check out that sleeping beauty of ours”
Helios invited Andres as they walked to the hospital bed where the unconscious Rizal is laying.
Helios ask the nurse that was checking Rizal’s vitals about Rizal’s condition.
” is he your friend?”
The nurse asked
Hearing this question Helios nodded at the nurse.
The nurse explained to him about Rizal’s condition.
Helios thank the nurse as she returned to the nurse station .
” so what are we going to do this time?”
” We might need a place to stay while waiting for the results of our entrance exam”
Andres nodded at Helios suggestion.
_*_*_
While they were waiting for Rizal to regain his consciousness Helios and Andres are in the hospital’s cafeteria eating their lunch.
” when do we start finding a place to stay?”
Andres asked
” We need someone that knows every nook and cranny about this place and we already meet him”
” your thinking about that Rizal guy right?”
” yup, that’s him,
” we just need to wait till he wakes up,
” then we’re going to ask him if he can give us a tour around the whole island”
_*_*_
In the hospital room.
the two of them are waiting for Rizal to regain his consciousness.
” So what do you think? Should I wake this guy up?”
” You should just wait patiently,
” There is no use in rushing things up”
Andres said to impatient Helios
” but it’s already afternoon although we can stay in this hospital room, staying in here is so boring especially if we’re doing nothing”
Helios start complaining about the situation.
” Maybe we should just wake the guy up”
Helios added while having a villainous smile as he start walking to the sleeping Rizal that is laying in the hospital bed but he was stopped by Andres using his sword.
” You should not disturb someone resting”
“Fine!”
Helios annoyingly said a he take out a folding beach chair from his storage ring that he created sometime ago, then lay down his body down in the chair.
He also take out his pet frog from the pocket world in his storage ring.
The moment the frog noticed that it was in Helios palm it then jumped into Helios’s head laying it self comfortably in there while emitting a small amount of mist from its body.
Andres just looked at the frog with a weird expression.
Noticing that Andres was staring at him the frog started blowing a ring shape smoke into Andres face.
” ahw, looks like myth likes you”
Helios teased Andres
Andres lips twitch.
” you called your pet frog ‘myth’?”
Andres asked
” yeah? What’s wrong with it?”
Helios question Andres
Andres just shook his head after hearing Helios response.
Myth jumped to the chest of the sleeping Rizal from top of Helios’s head.
The frog start releasing a green colored mist from its body then the mist was absorbed by Rizal’s body speeding his recovery.
Few minutes later, Rizal regained his consciousness.
The first thing that he saw when he opened his eyes was a frog sitting in his chest.
Noticing that Rizal had woken up the frog then jump back to the top of Helios head.
Rizal’s line of sight follow the frog as it jump into the man’s head.
There he noticed that two persons were looking at him.
” Who are you?”
Rizal asked
” my name is Helios”
Helios introduce himself to Rizal
” while the guy beside me is Andres”
Helios point his thumb to where Andres is standing.
” I actually pick you up from the street after seeing the girls left you barely alive,
” we then brought you to the hospital,
” but since I’m in a hurry, I used the power of my pet to quicken your recovery”
” Thank you for helping me”
” My name is Jose Rizal”
” no need to thank me,
” but if you insisted, you could help us in becoming familiar with the island”
Rizal nodded
_*_*_
” let’s go”
Helios said after Rizal had been discharge.
While they are walking outside the hospital.
Helios ask Rizal.
” Did you know any place where we can eat different variety of foods?”
Rizal try to remember some place that could fit Helios criteria.
” the nearest from here is the seaside food park”
He said after a deep thought.
As Rizal was about to call a taxi Helios stop him from doing so.
” let’s not ride a taxi, I have a better way”
Helios then create a platform made out of cosmic energy under their feet.
Then he control the platform to slowly rise from the ground as the three of them float until they were now above some of the building.
When they reach a certain height Helios ask Rizal about the direction of the seaside food park.
Rizal start looking for a land mark below them to locate the direction of the food park.
He then pointed the direction.
Helios manipulate the platform to the direction where Rizal was pointing.
Until they arrived above the seaside food park, the three of them suddenly smell the different fragrance of food in the air although it’s was still afternoon the place was already bustling with people.
The trio then landed at the rooftop of a building.
They then take the stairs down to the ground floor of the building.
When they got out of the building the bustling noise of people talking in the street was being heard by the trio along with a much denser aroma of foods.
Helios inhale deeply just to smell the different scent of foods in the air making his stomach along with the other two to grumble.
” Hahahaha,
” Looks like I’m going to enjoy this place”
Helios happily said while licking his lips after smelling the delicious aroma of foods .
The other two nod their head in agreement to what Helios said.
” let’s go Rizal, guide us to your recommended store”
Rizal nod his head as he start walking into the street of the food park.
After walking a few blocks away the trio arrived at a ramen shop.
” this is one of the best ramen shop in the food park”
Rizal start singing praises about the ramen shop.
Helios just ignore Rizal as he and Andres entered the store.
Rizal noticed that Helios and Andres had ignore him so he hurriedly follow behind the two.
” I thought I was suppose to be your tour guide?”
Rizal mumble as the three of them sit in the table.
Helios and Andres just ignored Rizal’s mumbling and decide to order the shops best selling ramen.
After there eating session at the ramen shop the trio start tasting the variety of foods from the different nationality in the food park.
Having finished their eating adventure the trio can be seen having a hard time walking with a round stomach.
” it was fun while it lasted”
Helios happily said while belching.
” where are going next?”
Rizal asked Helios as they were walking along the sidewalk.
” do you know any place where we can stay until we’re able to find our own apartment?”
” why don’t you stay in my apartment, there are still 3 free rooms in there and I’m also looking for a roommate to help me shoulder the rental expenses ”
” how much is the rent?”
” Oh, it’s 3 500 dollar a month, so what do you think?”
” with a three vacant room? so if we occupied the two there will only be one room left I’m ok with it, what about you Andres?”
” if we three are the only one paying the rent then we need to find someone who will occupy the last room to lessen our rental expenses”
” Ok”
Rizal agree
” Sure”
Helios also agree
While they were walking the trio heard a commotion that is happening in the alley.
” Let’s just ignore it, we don’t want to get involved with some shady staff in this island”
Rizal warned them.
” Hoo!, hoo!,
” what you just said caught my interest,
” Let’s check it out”
Helios start walking excitedly to the direction of the alley.
Rizal wasn’t able to react as Helios walked into the dark alley where some commotion were happening.
