They sit in a patch of grass as Saiba shouts,
"Hey, you're a pretty fun guy!"
The longbow bandit says back,
"You too, Hero!"
Saiba grabs the bandits hand and shakes it while saying,
"I'm Saiba Okumura! Pleased to make you acquaintance!"
The bandit shakes his hand and replies,
"The name's Lazaro Alberoth! It's nice to meet you too!"
Lazaro is a normal sized human. He has short blonde hair and light blue eyes. He's also wearing a tattered blown cloak and his longbow strapped to his back.
The two look like they've gotten very close. Surprised, Lily shouts,
"Alberoth!? You're an Alberoth!?"
Lazaro explains,
"Well, I'm a former Alberoth. I got kicked out about a year ago because I couldn't live up to their expectations. I resorted to living as a bandit after that."
He adds,
I'm glad though. That's how I got to meet my best friends!"
The other two bandits smile. On Lazaro's left sits the axe bandit. He's a large chubby man. He has messy orange hair and brown eyes. He has his battle axe laying on the ground beside him. He introduces himself by saying,
"Nice to meet you! My name is Klaus Longhorn!"
Lastly, on Lazaro's right is the hammer bandit. He is the shortest out of the three, but he is very muscly. He has green hair and brown eyes. His hammer is leaning against a tree behind him. The bandit introduces himself and says,
"It's a pleasure! You can call me Raffael Bristoff!"
They all shake hands with Saiba. Still annoyed, Lily says,
"Going back to what we were talking about before, why'd they start calling someone like you the hero?"
Lazaro replies,
"I'm the one that put out the fire last night! Some of the villagers must've seen me do it and reported back to the rest of the villagers. Next thing you know, they were crowding around me and calling me 'Hero'!"
Lily asks him,
"So what are you guys gonna do now?"
Lazaro answers,
"We were planning on going to Riveria! We're gonna go on a shopping spree!"
Lazaro takes out a pouch filled with gold coins and shows it off. Saiba says,
"You're going to Riveria too? That's where we were going!"
He suggests,
"Hey! Why don't we all go together!"
Lily contradicts him and says,
"Hero!? We are not travelling with them! I refuse!"
Saiba begs,
"Come on! It'll be fun!"
Lazaro questions,
"Are you sure..?"
Saiba wraps his arms around Lily and Lazaro and says,
"Yup! We're friends now!"
He brings the bandit trio over to Uma. Uma moos when he sees Saiba. Saiba starts petting Uma and calling him a 'good boy'.
Lazaro opens the wagon and screams. He sees the two people tied up in the wagon. Lazaro runs above to Saiba and points to the wagon,
"W-W-Who are those people!?"
Calmly, Saiba responds,
"Oh them? They're the ones who burned the village. Lily's keeping them hostage."
Lazaro looks over at Lily and she stares back at him with a menacing glare. Lazaro mumbles,
"Scary..!"
Saiba calls over,
"Hop in guys!"
Lazaro replies,
"Oh! It's okay! We have our own rides!"
The bandits run into the forest and come back out on three animals. There are sitting on top of three green reptiles, also known as, Scaled Horse. Lily notices them and gets freaked out while mumbling,
"Scary..!"
The new alliance sets out and pass through the village. The villagers are greeting them out by saying things like,
"Safe travels!"
And,
"Thank you for all your help heroes!"
Before reaching the exit, Isabelle waves them off while saying,
"Thank you for all your help again, Mr. Hero!"
Saiba replies,
"Don't worry about it! That's a hero's job!"
Saiba also notices the boy from before. The boy excitedly waves at him. Saiba waves back and shouts,
"Don't forget to have fun!"
The five of them exit the village and leave them to rebuild their economy. Saiba, Lily, Uma, Lazaro, Klaus, and Raffael ride towards their destination, unsure of what awaits them.
