[Ahhhh... it feels nice to be back home after doing some work at the guild]
[Yeah, oh I forgot to buy the grilled chicken, I'll be back]
He leaves the house and the other one have been left alone.
[Well, I gotta take a nap and wake up if he gets back]
The man takes a nap...
After a few minutes, he feels a bit cold.
He grabbed the blanket to cover himself but he still feels cold.
He cannot fall asleep, he decided to get up and take sit on the empty chair to wait for his friend to be back with the grilled chicken to be eaten.
He still feels cold, he begins to shiver and looks outside by the window.
He saw some men have their shirts off cause of the heat.
[Why does it be cold here, why does outside hot?]
He asks himself questions about the temperature inside his house and outside.
He get up from the chair, walk close to the closed window, and decided to open it.
But then, he saw a reflection on the window glass, a girl with green short hair, red eyes, and the looks of a killer.
He looks behind but he didn't see anyone behind him.
He looks back at the glass and saw nothing on the reflection.
the girl as if vanished, he decided not to open the window and go sit on the chair.
He notices an unfamiliar knife on the table.
He grabs the knife and looks at it.
He was looking closely at the knife and saw the girl again with the reflection on the side of the knife.
He looks behind and there's no one but then, as soon as he looks in front of him, he saw the girl wildly in front of him.
The man was shocked and like paralyze that he cannot move, it was because of fear I guess.
The girl grab the knife from his hand and started stabbing him in the front.
The door opens and a man comes inside, it was the man earlier who forgot to buy grilled chicken.
The man cannot see properly inside because it was dark.
[Hello? anyone they're, My friend are you there?]
He cast a little bit of fire magic to light up the lamp and saw his friend was killed with the knife on his chest.
Then the lamp fire faded but as soon as he lit it up again, the knife on his friend's chest disappear.
He was scared, he was just standing there looking at his friend's body, he didn't do something nor get help from the people in the village.
The lamp fire has faded again and he lights it up again but he feels glaring at him behind.
He slowly look behind and saw a girl with green hair, red eyes, and the look of a killer.
The Lamp fire fades again and lights it up again and then the girl disappears from his sight.
He looks back to his friend's body and saw the girl close to him and ready to stab him in the chest and the lamp's fire faded again.
He was stabbed in his chest and the girl said
[Don't ever call me flat chested or else this will happen again]
Then he died.
A little later, he woke up and see himself sleeping on the ground.
Saw his friend just sleeping on the chair and the grilled chicken was untouched on the table.
[what happened?]
He doesn't know what happened but he remembers someone saying "Don't ever call me flat chested or else this will happened again".
But then he ignores it and started to wake up his friend to eat.

[Hmmm... Rushia seems to be late for dinner, I wonder where she went?]
He waited outside the Inn for Rushia and finally saw Rushia running toward him.
[Ohhh... Jouzo-san*huffs* sorry*huffs* to be late I guess?*take a deep breath and release it*]
[Ahh, yes well slightly late for dinner I guess but never mind about that and have dinner and rest, so what did you do?]
[Ahhh, that hmmm well... it's a secret]
[okay then, ladies first]
[Thanks]
Rushia goes in first and Jouzo was behind her.
Jouzo notices something on Rushia, something on her clothes.
He notices a red thing on her cloth that is like the color of blood.
(hmmm.... maybe she just help a kid to pick some berries that are near from here) Jouzo's mind
They saw an empty table and sit there, calling the little girl who write down the order of the client.
[Rushia, what food do you order?]
[Hmmm... Ramen!]
[okay, 2 ramen please]
[Thank you for ordering]
The little girl writes our order and hands it over to its mom, the Innkeeper.
Jouzo noticed Rushia was in a good mood and he thinks because of the good deed she just do today.
their ramen finally arrived and started to eat it.
[Itadakimasu]
A few minutes later...
they were eating their ramen but suddenly a man sat on the empty chair at their table.
Rushia doesn't mind it but Jouzo is on guard in case the man decided to attack them.
[Are you the man named Jouzo?]
The man asked Jouzo.
[So what? are you here for a fight?]
Jouzo is Ready to fight at any time.
[Noo, but...]
Jouzo thinks that this is just an act.
[but what?]
Jouzo is ready for the fight.
[But.... but to join your party]
Jouzo seemed to be surprised a little bit and started to eat his ramen.
[So, why do you want to party with us?]
[Well, you guys are newbies]
[There are a lot of newbies in this Village and why us?]
[Because you seem strong]
[Are you here to party with us or to come to fight me?]
[No, I'm serious, I'm here to join the party with you guys]
[Then give us a reason why you want to join our party?]
[Well I can cook delicious food that can replenish our stamina and heals some minor injuries]
[Look even though...]
Rushia cut off on what Jouzo is about to say.
[You're in]
[Are you sure you want to accept him to join our party?]
[Yes, he can cook food for us when we will sleep in the forest]
[sign*Okay then since I cannot refuse that either, you're now a member of our party, My name is Suzuya Jouzo, you can call me Jouzo]
[My name is Uruha Rushia, you can call me Rushia, nice to meet you, new member]
[Nice you meet you to Rushia and Jouzo, my name is Jiro Taku, you can call me Jiro]
[Well then, it's almost 10:30 pm, let's rest first and meet here in the morning]
The present time was 10:27 pm
[okay, well see you tomorrow]
[See you tomorrow!]
The two headed to their room and rested.
Jiro was happy for joining the party with those two and decide too to go back to his House near this Inn and get some rest.
