" Oh,you're back" Glenn said when Kojo and Sharone walked into the shop.
" I heard you killed a truly terrifying beast"
" Please,a chicken isn't that terrifying " Kojo said.
Glenn noticed the bandages on Kojo's face.
" What happened to your face?"He asked.
" Let's just say a few friends of mine went a little too far with a prank" Kojo responded remembering how he was ambushed on a tree by bees on Thier way when he tried to pick some fruit for Sharone.
" Anyway,we brought you some souvenirs" He said Handing over a bag of the beasts Razor sharp feathers.
" Thank you. This will be fine material" Glenn said studying one of the feathers.
" Theyre incredibly light and have some magic resistance."
" Well we're glad you like them" Sharone said.
" Yeah Glenn,do are you finished with the other equipment."
" Yes" Glenn responded bringing out the goods.
" These are made with leather from the beasts you brought. They posses superior durability to your normal gear and reduce any physical damage by 45%.The Jackets are made from Spirit Leopard fur which reduces magic attacks and nullifies detection. And as a bonus,I made this sword from the the horn Of a gnarl with an added bleed effect making wounds caused by its blade very difficult to heal along with increasing any damage dealt by 3%"
Kojo whistled
" That's one badass artifact" he said picking up the sword and drawing it.
SKAN
Sysyia scanned the blade and relayed the information in his head.
" I would have made more but those were the only useful materials I could get for you. The rest were too low for raiders such as yourself'
" No this is enough thank you"Sharone thanked him
" Can I have a look at that blade?"she asked Kojo.
" Sure" He sheathed it and handed it to her. However it slipped and they both made to grab it. Thier hands touched as they wach tried to pick it. And they looked at each other.
" My,my you two make a wonderful couple" Glenn said watching them with his arms crossed.
" What!" They said together.
" It's not like that" Sharone yelled blushing.
" Yeah ,were just friends" Kojo agreed.
They eyed each other again and looked away.Glenn looked from one to another and began to laugh.
" Ah to be young and in love"
Sharone's face redness even more.
" We're leaving " Kojo said quickly grabbing Sharone's hand and leading her out of the shop. Glenn watched them go. He shrugged and continued with his work.
( Real smooth. Just friends huh?)
" Shut up" Kojo mumbled.
They bumped into two cloaked ladies.
" Sorry Kojo said
" Watch where you're going" One of them said.Walking away. Her companion ran after her. Kojo stood watching them.
GALE
A strong wind blew off their cloaks. Kojo noticed that they were two who seemed to be in Thier age. One of them was a demihuman with sliver hair and a fox tail. The other was an elf with green hair.He then noticed Thier weapons finding it strangw that the demihiu had a bow while the elf carried a Sceptre. His eyes then movwd between Thier chests. Suddenly,Sharone was standing infront of him with an annoyed look on her face. He stepped back,startled.
" Hey Sharone,I was just you know,my the weather this time of year is really something don't you think" he said nervously. The look on her face showed she wasn't buying his act.
" Hey you!" The demi human yelled walking toward them
" What's your problem. Are you a a thief. You think I didn't notice it as you who usedagic on us ."
" I don't know what your talking about. It's probably the weather " Kojo said.
" And whi do you think your going to fool with such a lame assed story" she yelled.
" Koniko,take it easy,I'm sure this is all a misunderstanding " The elf said putting a hand on her shoulder.
" I'm sorry,I shouldnt have used magic on you. Please forgive me" Kojo bowed.
Koniko blushed then turned folding her arms.
" Yeah,ok,whatever" she said.
" See. Not everything can be solved with agression." The elf said turning to Kojo.
" Hello,my name is Lin and this is my friend Koniko. Nice to meet you." She smiled. Kojo opened his mouth,mesmerized by her.Sharone.elbowws him.
" Pleased to meet you. I'm Sharone and this is my partner Kojo." Sharone said eyeing Kojo.
" So your the duo who defeated that beast at Yert village a few days ago." Koniko said.
" Yeah how'd you know?" Kojo asked.
" We passed by the village and heard how two newbies saved them from a beast that was destroying Thier land and that they were incredibly strong" Konikoresponded eyeing him
" Are both of you raiders too?"Sharone asked.
" Yes we are. We just just here this morning. We were looking for this towns bearau." Lin responded." It must have been really hard fighting a Beasty. Being new to raiding and all"she said Turning to Kojo.
" It was nothing really "
" We'd love to hear more"
" Lin,we don't have time. We have to look for the Beareu." Koniko cut in.
" We're on our way there too. Maybe we could go together. "
Koniko was about to protest,but Lin cut her off.
" That sounds great "
The girls took the lead leaving Kojo standing on the street.
"...."
( Harem charging....)
" what are you talking about?"
" You coming Kojo?" Sharone called from the distance.
" Yeah " he responded, running after them.
The girls chatted all the way to the bureau. Kojo walked a feet behind them.
( Say something)
" I'm not exactly a ladies man"
(I know. I went through the texts on your phone and whoa. You want me to read them to you?)
" Wait you still have those?"
( Yeah,all the information that was on your phone. Now let's begin. October 29th,20-)
" Don't you dare Sysia or so help me I will-"
" Kojo" Sharone called.looking back at him.
" Yeah?"
" You alright?" She asked
" Yeah just fighting my inner demon that's all"He responded.
( Who are you calling a demon?)
He slapped himself then noticing the girls staring at him and raised his hands giving them a thumbs up.
" He's acting wierd" Lin commented
" You want me to put him out of his misery?" Koniko asked Shrone.
" No it's fine"
They walked into the bereau.
" We're here" Sharone said
" There's the reception. You can go check over there. Kojo and I will be at the billboard in case of anything."
Lin nodded and smiled. " thanks"
Sharone smiled back and went to check the billboard for bounty's with Kojo.
" They seem like nice people" Koniko said
" All is not as it seems. They're strong,stronger than they make themselves out to be" Lin said as she and Koniko watched Kojo and Sharone.Sharone noticed and waved at them. Lin waved back then they turned and walked towards the receptionist.
" We need to be wary of them"
" Yeah" Koniko agreed" They can't be normal.if they caused that much destruction in hunting Thier first beast." Koniko continued remembering the destroyed field they saw whe they passed by Yert village.
" We need the money so it's best to keep them at an arms lenght . If the need arises,we'll have no choice but to eliminate them"Lin said
Kojo raised his head and looked over at them.
