They arrived close to dusk at the nobles mansion while Akira stared in disgust while Morgan and Mia were in aw and Ella wasn't in pressed. "This way sir the other are waiting inside." "Thank you." They walked though the hallways until they reached a giant ball room there were multiple parts of groups in the area most seemed small others seemed large and will some seemed geared for anything others weren't ready to run into a bandit. Akira scanned the room looking at the other hero's they were a mix of male and female and all of them were there for the same job, but what it involved was still a mystery. "There staring at me its uncomfortable." "Some hero's don't understand Demi's and as a result they usually look at hero's with them with disgust, but don't let get you down your a beautiful girl so some of them are probably wishing they had you on their teams." Ella smiled and wagged her tail. "Ah thanks Sojiro." *crash* someone had dropped their glass as if they had heard something familiar "Sojiro as in Sojiro Akira?" When he turned around someone familiar was standing in front of him "Haru?" "Ya its me how have you been Sojiro?" "I've been well, and yourself?" "Good It had been rough here at first, but things have been going smoothly for the last few months." "That's good to hear." "Hmm are you going to introduce me Sojiro?" "Why?" "Because it would be rude not to." "Fine Haru this is Ella she's one of my party members and..." "His fiancée." "Fiancée? The hell Akira you wouldn't even accept a confession from me but you'd propose to a raccoon?" "No were not a couple." "Ya that make sense I mean come on what would anyone see in a filthy thing like you? I mean come on that tail and those ears are a real turn off. Ok maybe your human body may look cute, but your animal features are really distracting and that dress really?" "I like the design it's special to me!" "Ya and stupid I mean do you know how stupid you look bitch hahahaha!" Ella ears and tail started to drupe. "That's enough Haru." "What did you say I was to busy laughing." "That's enough you heartless bitch!" "Excuse me Akira what the hell did you ju...." "I just called you a heartless bitch because that's what you are Haru!" "Oh you can't call me that." "Bit it's ok for you to call Ella one I mean at least with you it fits!" Haru was getting visible angry. Akira just stood there with an angry glint in his eyes. "You want my opinion Haru if you want to live here you don't mess with my Eleanor!" Akira faces went from angry to a 'what the fuck did I just say' face. Ella face lite up with joy. Akira mind went to one thought 'I'm digging my own grave, but need to get there attention.' He turned to Ella and then with any warning started to kiss her. Ella's mind went in several different direction she couldn't control herself she wrapped her arms around Akira. The passion she felt from it was real and it was at that moment she confirmed that she really was in love with Akira. Akira stood there feeling every eye on him, but he also felt the familiar stare of jealousy. "Oh you just can't keep your hands off him can you raccoon!" Morgan and Mia started noticing the whole thing. Ella stop kissing Akira. "Ya and so what of it?" "So what of it he's my mate raccoon!" "Wait mate?" "Hey Mia what have I told you about saying that in public?" "I know, but I need the raccoon to remember that your mine." "The hell have you been doing in this world since you got here Akira? This is sick and you know that dating a animal and being a interested in a kid I mean what would Akeno say about it." She put her hand to her mouth and smiled "oh wait." He didn't say another word he just turned to Haru and without a warning punched her squire in the face which knocked her on to the ground. "Say that again you bitch, fucking say that again come on your all fine with insulating everyone till you had someone decided they had enough!" "You asshole why did yo....." she barely got anything out before Akira put his boot to her throat. "I'm sorry was that you trying to apologize for everything you just said I couldn't tell." Everyone was staring at him no one knew what to do so everyone just kept staring. Until someone was tiring of watching it "I that's enough you poor excuse for a hero!" Akira turned his gaze to the person who had stepped up they guy wore a full suit of armor except his head which had a band around his forehead. The guy didn't look any older then Akira and he carried a spear and a round shield on his back. "Why do you hurt her like this? Why would you treat a lady like this?" "And what does this have to do with you?" "Well I can't let you treat a lady like that you should never punch a girl did your mother ever tell you that?" "Yes but when you start speaking ill of the dead that's crossing a line!" The guy just stepped closer "If you want the same thing I'd be more then happy to oblige." "I don't you'd be able to handle me." "How so?" "It's because I'm at the max level so I'd love to see you try." The two of them glared at each other until a man came into the room. "I'm sorry for the wait, but we're ready to inform you of the job." Akira looked back at the hero "Let's pick this up later?" "Agreed" all the hero's came closer while all their parties stayed at the back of the room. "So what's this job?" The servant respond "My employer would like you to head into the mountain and kill a dragon there." Akira just crossed and looked annoyed. "Really this is as generic as generic quest get." "Oh come it could be fun and will save beautiful women!" "Get real Eric you could never fight a dragon." "Oh screw you Peter." Morgan was looking at all the hero's getting along with each other, but Akira appeared to be on his own in the middle she couldn't his face, but she could tell he was thinking. The servant was trying to talk to the group, but they were to loud for him to get a word out. Akira had gotten tired of the noise. "WOULD ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP SO WE CAN HEAR THE MAN OUT!" This got all of their attention. His voice carried an air of authority and a sense of aggression as if they didn't stop talking he wouldn't just punch them he might just right out kill them. "Um thank you anyway killing this dragon is of the utmost importance as a result my employer is only hiring hero's as this mission is sending you against a dragon named Fafnir." "What do you mean?" "Yes the Dragon who served at Yumir's side!"
