Hamaguchi looked a little worried at the sight from the ground but flashed Addison a sorry smile as she was helped up. She awkwardly laughed like nothing happened and poked her eyes out when she spoke up to these people. She shouldn't have done that. Hamaguchi poke out her hand to get Addison to stay close to her but she miss gripped as Addison walked forward a little. She still lightly reached out to her as Addison spoke. [center][color=f6989d]"A-addison please don't, it is fine."[/color][/center] Addison spoke back to Hamaguchi and said that she probably shouldn't look. Hamaguchi trembled, her voice was shaking. This was gonna end bad. If she just keeps paying they all can live peacefully. Hamaguchi looked at her siblings under the bridge and called out to them. [center][color=f6989d]"P-please go to aunt sara okay? I-I'll be right there."[/color][/center] Hamaguchi gave them a kind smile to show them some comfort and that it was gonna be alright. The children hurriedly dashed away with an occasional stumble but they would help each other. She couldn't let them see Addison like this or any hurted people. They were still too young for that. Hamaguchi stood about 5 feet behind Addison with her arms close to her belly and her ears low to her head. She looked a little shy and didn't want this to go all wild. [center][color=f6989d]"A-addison please stop, we can still walk away, I'll just give Nick the rest of the money but p-please don't try to hurt him."[/color][/center] Hamaguchi her legs were trembling like crazy as she talked. She was close to shouting to her. Hamaguchi took a step towards her and looked really sad at the girl. [center][h2][color=9e0b0f]Nick[/color][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/8xkcqJV.png[/img][/center] Nick and his gang walked away as one of the bystanders suddenly called out to him. He turned his head slightly watching the woman from the corner of his eye. It was a weirdly dressed woman, looked like she had been rolling in the mud with her clothes or something. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Ha? A new resident in my area I see."[/color][/center] Nick completely turned around and have her a wide grin, she was a fierce one, he liked that. Not a moment later Addison had drawn both her knives. Nick grinned and stepped closer to her. So someone was planning to take on Nick ha? This was bound to be a show. His eyes were focused on the knives, they looked really sharp and sturdy. He needed those for his collection. They would do nicely. [center][color=9e0b0f]"Hey hey missy, why the burning sensation to kill me. Are you that mad that I collect my taxes from my residents."[/color][/center] He gave out a snicker and grinned like Addison was nothing for him. He could easily take her. She was even trying to bait them to fight her. Like a lonely girl could take on 6 man on her own. [center][color=9e0b0f]"I really like you, it is a shame you want to die so much. Those knives will do nicely in my collection don't you think!"[/color][/center] Nick let out a bursting laugh and pulled out a short sword for his own while the rest of his gang took out their weapons too. It was time for the showdown. [center][h2][color=fff79a]Shiina Mashiro[/color][/h2] [img]http://i.imgur.com/LmgGZOP.png[/img][/center] [center][color=fff79a]"Ara ara..."[/color][/center] The blonde girl let out a soft confused voice. It didn't appear that she had been here before in her life before. A cake that she had gotten from the supermarket was hanging from her mouth held by one of her thin hands. She was eating the crust around the cake slowly and gently as her eyes darted around the busy market street. It didn't look like the neighbourhood she always has lived in. Does this mean that she took the wrong train home!? No wait she didn't take the train. She walked this far?! The local supermarket was just around the corner it couldn't be. In confusion she wandered down the street. Her eyes darted from left to right to take the new scene all in. Old market boots, strange creatures that looked like sort of demi human. She was really lost. Oh wait she knew! She took out her phone out one of her skirt pockets and tried calling. Her feet had stopped as she silently stared forwards while eating the cake with the phone on her ear. No service. She tried up to three times more but there was nothing. She patiently placed the phone back where it belonged and walked further to places she didn't know. After a short nap under a nearby tree she went on. Not thinking she left both her shoes at the tree and only noticed way later she lost them. Shiina patiently pulled off her socks to not make them any dirtier than they were and ventured on. Eventually her feet grew tired and her cakes were gone, vanished into her stomach. What was she even doing. Just walking till she found something familiar but there wasn't any. Helplessly she waited for a while on a nearby fountain and went on walking. Her socks in her hand and her feet brown as dirt. It wasn't till later that she found a nice looking building where there were lots of books. She liked books, opening one of them immediately struck her hard. It was unreadable, well she was good in deciphering. Shiina sat down on a nearby chair and readed away. Patiently reading each page untill eventually she fell asleep. To be continued...

It must have been quite harsh on the boy to come to such a strange country without any knowledge about it. She was a little bit curious to his backstory now. He didn't just end up here out of nowhere. She wanted to give him a hand but Malakaus was already onto it. Tani quietly listened to the orc talk. Chieko was already eager to start. It was good to know there were still people like this out there. People that were hyped from their first day onward. She would like to see how far Chieko could keep that attitude. Maria spoke to Tani once more. Tani looked up with a deadpan expression at the knight. She gave a short nod as she began listening to the knight. Tani was invited to drink tea with Maria and Malakaus. This would give her an ideal situation to get up to date with the iron bells. Tani gave another short nod. [center][color=f7941d]"I wouldn't decline such an offer. I would like to know anything that has caught your eyes lately to keep up with everything happening around town."[/color][/center] Tani waited for Maria to lead the way and casually stood by her side.
