The next day we continued our journey along the path, until we saw a town from a distance.

Trace: hi Andri, Flora look (pointing towards the town)

Andri: (happy) wow, finally I can see civilization again

Flora: Nya (hiding behind us)

Trace: e..... Flora, what's wrong?

Flora: nothing

Andri: are you sure Flora? You can tell us if there is a problem.

Flora : I'm fine, it's just that I'll wait for you here.

Trace: oh well, and do you want to buy anything?

Flora: yeah whatever. But now you guys go without me (pushing us)

Andri: wow slow down Flora

We both started going to the housing complex

Trace: I wonder what happened to the flora

Andri: I don't know. Maybe he's not comfortable in human town

Trace: Maybe

After a while, we were in town, in front of a tavern.

Trace: I think this is a good place to start

Andre: yeah

we also saw a sign "no keidran" at the entrance

Andri: heh No wonder why Flora doesn't want to come here. They obviously don't like keidran very much

Trace: right, all right, let's go inside.

Andri: (looks back at the sign) racist

Inside the tavern, one can clearly see that the interior of this place is similar to that of the old tavern

???: Long time no see we thought you were dead

Andri and Trace: Eh?

We also saw a girl who was wearing a maid outfit and had green hair and cat ears

Maid(Karen): Problems with Keidran again?

Trace: wait who are you?

Karen: (ignores Trace and shouts across the room) sister! Trace is back!

Then came another girl with purple hair(Maren)

Maren: Oh he's here

Then he confronted Trace and-

SLAP!

She slapped Trace's cheek which surprised me with the speed of the slap

Trace: (in pain) Hey what was that for?

Maren: (angry) You know damn well what that's for! Where have you been in the last month? Hunting those damned Keidrans again, no doubt. But then you disappeared and word got out that you were dead! Do you know how worried I was? As your girlfriend, I should know where you are going.

Andri: Wait, Trace has a girlfriend?

Maren: and who are you?. Are you one of Trace's followers?

Andri: eh.... No, I just-hey!

Karen: (grabbing us both) Come on! There's a bar fight! Let's separate

Maren: (screams angrily) HEY! YOU ARE BACK HERE! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!

The two of us were taken to a room, where we saw that there was a red-haired man fighting with a male Keidran cat.

Red hair(Red): Stupid animal, Don't you know this is a human town?

A/N: in the Twokinds comic itself, the name of the red-haired man is not mentioned so I will call him Red

Keidran the cat?(Keith): I told you! I'm not Keidran!

Karen: Okay take them apart

Trace: What, why me?

Red, who heard Trace's voice, saw it and smiled

Red: (happy) Tracy! You're finally back! We thought you were dead! But of course, you can't die! And you even brought one of your retainers!

Andri: Followers?

Red: I just took care of this animal here.

Keith: Wait! You are Trace Legacy?

Trace: That's what everyone tells me

Then Keith pushed Red away and grabbed Trace by the collar

Keith: You have to help me!

Andri: (slightly pushing him away from Trace) wow, hold on there, bro.

Red: (gets up) I thought you and your followers might want to take care of it yourselves, right Trace?

Trace: Oh yeah, I'll "take care of it"

Meanwhile, I only saw them smiling at Keith

Trace: (smiles kindly) So, what can I do for you?

Red: -_- that's not what I meant

-

We are now outside the tavern and talking with Keith

Keith: So, what do you need my help, sir…?

Keith: Just call me Keith. My people need your help with political matters.

Andri: Politics? I hate politics

Trace: Before you start, just to warn you, I think I have amnesia. I don't remember much.

Keith: What? You don't remember anything?

Trace: Nothing since yesterday, when Andri found me.

Keith: And what about you?

Andri: I don't even know anything about this place, I just follow him.

After that, Keith seemed to think for a moment.

Keith: No problem, we can still use your help. Can you guys travel with me to my city?

Traces: Yes. We are like adventurers now. and what about you Andri?

Andri: Besides I don't really like politics, I'll go with you ,considering I have no other goals

Keith : great .We can take a walk to my town later. Gather up the provisions you need and meet me at the city gates in an hour

Andri: ok we will meet again I hope with this I can at least go home
