Aya
This girl was blessed with being a fox, she used the cute aspects she had together with a cute act to brush things like this off. Aya was pretty sure of it, what would such a 'cute' person do on the roof of all places. Aya could think of a few reasons but nothing to do with being cute. It was given foxes were agile and all but that was no reason to walk on roofs with clothing like that. Aya was getting sick of this girl, embarrassing her and acting cute to brush it off when Aya got mad at her.
"You almost broke my bones, how could you only say you're sorry. You don't really seem bothered by it at all!"
The girl went on with the fake act. Aya had a tired mixed with disgust expression stuck on her face, thinking on how foxy could ever be serious about something like that. Aya wasn't gonna touch her tail again if she was gonna make these disgusting comments on it. It was probably a sensitive part on the girl her body so she might be able to use it as advantage to pay her back for making her go through this.
Finally this girl was getting on topic for once! She understood that Aya was lost but still didn't sounded like she was genuinely concerned about it. Aya regretted she said that now. How could she dare to call little Aya cute! Monster! The tail curled around the fox girl her waist lying in Aya's reach on the girl her lap. This was meant to be.
The fox girl rambled on with this shady alley she ended up in. It was a possibility that Aya would have encountered some shady people that may possibly try to rob her or something but Aya didn't see that happening to her. She was pretty good at running and could take a few beatings. Aya felt pretty confident in her abilities.
After all that the fox was finally giving her some kind of serious reaction which made Aya a little more relaxed about the situation. She just wanted to go back to her home though, she didn't really want to know this... 'world' Perhaps the fox could tell her if she just asked. Maybe someone around knew a way to get back to her home, perhaps this even happened very often that people like her entered into here.
"I-I don't think I would really mind that..."
Aya became a little quiet and blushed lightly whilst looking away from the fox girl. It looked like she was in a deep ponder about something, like she needed to ask her a very serious something. Aya looked the girl directly in the eyes with a combo between nervous and flustered look in her eyes. Her small hand finally let go of her own chest and both slowly reached out for the fox tail. Aya smiled a little like a young child wanting to pet a kitty. She was soundless, clearly she felt a little embarrassed to do something to the fox girl like that. She softly patted the tail and gently drew it a little closer to her small frame to give it a nice warm hug. Luckily Aya could act just as good as this fox girl. Her hands locked in place as the expression on her face changed into a more serious one. Her hands squeezed the tail as hard as she could turning her hands both the opposite way of each other making it feel like barbed wire.
"PAYBACK!"
Hamaguchi
Hamaguchi grabbed the woman her sleeve to lift her arm up higher so she could look at the pattern there too. It had a lot of different colors all related to the color green. It sounded pretty logical if she heard the woman say it like that. The people that went hunting did the same to their clothes but not as much as put some kind of pattern on. She guessed that it was pretty difficult to make something like that if you needed to use a lot of different color wools and had to change every 4 centimeters to a different color.
"Magnificent. But what is the hat on your head for? it has a large black thing on it so that doesn't blend well with nature I assume."
Hamaguchi curiously stood on her toes to look at the helm closer. It didn't look like it was made of straw or anything so she found it a bit strange. It kind of looked like clay, why did she put clay on her head? She reached out with her hand and slid over it with one of her fingers tilting her head to one side in confusion. It didn't feel like clay. Hamaguchi made a bit of a troubled face not knowing what it was. It was hard to guess. She put both hands on the side of her head while making the >.< face. Her head was hurting.
After she was done with healing the woman looked quite confused about her using magic. Hamaguchi's looked a little troubled at the woman. What was wrong with her now? Was she allergic for magic? Oh! She never seen magic before? How strange.
"Did you come from a small town miss? I think most major towns have a sort of magic around at this time so it is pretty rare for you not to know about magic hehe... Ah no no, you don't have to repay me! It is fine really, I do things out of kindness. Your conversation is enough payment for me!"
After the woman told Hamaguchi she had no money Hamaguchi turned silent. This... woman with her magical clothing and all didn't have any money... None at all!? Hamaguchi gave her a look of confusion and started looking a little pitiful as she talked less hyped to the woman. Her ears were flat against her head as she talked with her head bend forwards a little.
"So you are a trader? You come to sell goods for money right?"
Kondo
Kyojin was way to good for this world, when Kondo heard the giant talk he could tell that the giant knew his specialties but didn't want to use them for the sake of others. If he would work in the job he is good at he would stand out and replace a lot of people just because he is more useful than other people. It was true though, normally Kondo would get the booze a few streets away from here but with use of the gentle giant he could get his job done way faster. This giant could at least carry 3 barrels in one go while Kondo could get 1. Truly a cruel world, Kondo nodded quietly at his own thinking.
"Don't worry too much about others, not everyone can do jobs only you can do. Perhaps you would even be of help instead of replacing others."
Kondo gave the giant a kind smile before taking another chug of his booze. It was running empty again, he had to walk soon enough. Kyojin said on how he was immune to witch curses. Did Kondo hear this before? He didn't remember but Kondo saw everything as small positive things. Even if you could throw meteors, it was a small convenience. The giant was enjoying himself, or was it the booze? Nah he didn't drink much yet.
"You sound like you're trying to convince me to hire you to slay witches! A man fit for the job I hear! haha!"
Kondo started laughing with him spilling a small amount of alcohol as he tilted himself backwards on two chair legs almost tipping over. Kondo took his breath for a moment and became calm and collect as before again. He took Kyojin his mug again and started it filling at the stairs again. He sat back down throwing the mug in front of Kyojin again as he sat once more.
The giant began talking about the weapon that Kondo told him that he could probably get for him. It just took some money to get the weapon. The difficulty of it wasn't as bad but finding good stuff was more or less the problem. Kondo gave a nod.
"Lets have a look sometimes. I know a good place."
The giant asked if there was anything wrong with the business. It was to see that he didn't get a lot of customers during the day so that was a give away but during the nights it was different, they were mostly all usuals during the night that enjoyed each others company. The rooms almost never got used though. He had about 6 unused rooms that were full of dust at the moment. The top amount of guests at the same time was about 2 minus Kyojin.
"I don't really mind, I don't really seek for a lot of customers. I'm fine with the people coming for a drink time to time but more then that, nah. I don't need an overloaded room downstairs full of drunkards."
Yoshinobu was done with her job as of today, it wasn't a lot of work so she was free early and already went past all the stores to buy food to cook for Kondo again. She did this a lot and it made her quite of happy that he always praised her cooking, she did her best after all. Carrying the stuff to his tavern was something else though, it was a long tiring way which she never made in one piece. Every time it took one to three breaks in between and with this weather it was even harder. The sun was beaming down onto her, sweat breaking out from the heat. She let out light puffs and eventually decided it was time for a small break. She went over to the fountain and placed the bags out of the sun on the ground next to the fountain. Herself, she sat down on the side of the fountain with her hands on the tip of the inner circle leaning her body backwards over the fountain water as she tried catching her breath. Yoshino closed her eyes for a moment as sweat still dripped down her forehead. It wasn't much longer before she reached the tavern but this heat was unbearable and the bags way too heavy that it hurted her hands.
After a short while she opened her eyes again, her breath had turned somewhat calmer again. She wiped the sweat of off her forehead with her sleeve and sat upright to catch the last few breaths. She looked around the area a little. It looked peaceful, everyone was enjoying themselves so that was a great thing. When she scanned around she got sight of a boy about 4 meters away from her sitting on the same fountain side. He was wearing some weird kind of clothing. It looked different but pretty well made for this kind of weather. It didn't look like his clothing was gonna fall apart in the next coming years. Yoshino had never seen anything like it before. It took her a moment to realise she was staring at the boy and found it quite rude of herself to do such a thing out of nowhere. Instead she stood up and walked over to sit right next to him. A gentle smile was displayed on her face if the boy did look over.
"Hey, I haven't seen you around before. First time here? You have any specific store you looking for perhaps? There are a few stores that only exist in this part of town after all eh. I'm Yoshinobu, nice to meet you."
Yoshino poked out her hand at him to give him a soft handshake. It might have still be a bit sweaty so it was understandable he wouldn't want too. Yoshino looked quite hot after all with this dress on till her knees.
