TOWN OF LAGAARD
The wagon stopped in what seemed to be the center of the town where a small girl was leaving.
Manari: This town hasn't changed much
Once the girl gets off the cart, she watches the town around her.
Elder: What time will it be, miss?
Manari: First, I'm going to find some companions to help me enter the labyrinth.
Elder: Apparently this is the best place to find adventurers
The old man pointed to a bar not far away that had a sign with a drawing of a fish skeleton.
Elderly: Bar "Spiny Fish"
Once the girl entered the bar she wondered where to start.
Manari: (Right, this is my first hurdle. I'll do my best!)
The girl approached the first person she met.
Manari: Hey, excuse me!
I started by asking the first person I saw about joining their guild. A knight carrying a great sword on his shoulder.
Knight: Sorry ma'am, our guild has no vacancies right now
Manari: I-is that...
Paladin: You are a holster, right? If you were a doctor or a sorceress, you would be perfect
Manari: It's a shame...
The knight noticed the weapon that the girl was carrying attached to her belt, a kind of small pistol with a triple elongated barrel equipped that would allow her to fire three bullets one after the other unlike a normal pistol.
Knight: Yes, but... taking children with me would be a hassle
Manari: I-I'm sorry!
The girl walked away from the gentleman until she reached the counter where there was an older man cleaning some glasses.
The bartender was attracted by the girl's sigh.
Bartender: Ha ha ha, taking a break? Do you want a drink of Wanna? If you drink something without alcohol, I will discount the glass
Manari: Thank you very kind, then I'll take...
Male: Old man...
Manari, Male: Tomato of Judgment
Manari, Male: Hm?
After that the two of them looked at each other curiously. The other person was a tall man with samurai gloves and shoulder pads, he was equipped with a long, thin sword on his belt and had somewhat long black hair with eyes that reflected disinterest or boredom.
Manari: (Ah, this person is a Samurai. They are swordsmen from a foreign country who wield one-bladed swords called katanas)
Samurai: Man, who is this girl?
Bartender: A new adventurer looking for people to enter the labyrinth
The girl watched him as she drank from her glass shyly.
Manari: (This person has a masterful aura. So, this person must be an expert)
After taking his drink, the man got up to leave the place while raising his hand without turning his gaze as a gesture of farewell.
Samurai: Thanks for the drink, put it on my account as usual
Manari: Um... excuse me! Samurai lord. Would you help me through the maze?
The samurai stopped his steps and turned his head to look at the girl again.
The two looked at each other again for a few more seconds. Manari awaited his answer, the samurai gave a tired exhale.
Samurai: Sorry, find someone else
The samurai turned his head and continued with his steps.
Bartender: That guy is a good-for-nothing. Kain, he has no companions either. You two should make a new guild
Kain: Hey hey, what you're saying doesn't make sense. Joining forces with someone else would be a hindrance
The girl caught fire hearing those words.
Manari: Unless you put me to the test
Kain: How do you say?
Manari: You say that, but ... you don't know if I'll be a hindrance
Kain: Oh?
The samurai outlined a smile as he thought of something.
Kain: Man, do we make a bet?
Manari: A bet?
The man turned his gaze to Manari and gave her a wink with a smile.
Kain: If you win, I'll join your party, but if you lose...
Manari: If I lose...
Kain: You doubt it...?
Bartender: If you lose, you will receive all of Kain's debt from this bar!
Manari: Old man!?
Kain: Okay, it sounds good. You'll regret this man
The two of them went to locate in an open place separated by a few meters, the other people directed their glances towards them.
Kain: The rules are simple, if you draw your gun and point it at me, you win. If I prevent you from drawing your weapon, I win. Simple, right?
Manari: What will be the starting signal?
Kain: Hmm... the old man will drop a coin
Bartender: Very good!
Manari: (I know he won't move within range. And this guy is an expert. I only have one chance to win...)
Their eyes meet again.
Manari: (He doesn't take me seriously. That should give me a better chance to win)
Kain: (Hm... her aura is changing, she's very focused)
Bartender: I'm going to launch it. Ready!
The man tossed the coin into the air while the two of them were attentive, waiting for the sound it would make when it fell to the ground. And the coin... fell!
