"Ugh!!! Just how long do we walk for, I never been walk this far before, feel like my legs are gonna fall off!" Been hours sense Clair and Blade left Hampstead area and been heading west for some time now.

"Oh quit your bitching, you'll get use it it. It good for you too, might finally get some color in that skin of yours."

"Wha.. what! Oh hell now, I'm not going end up like overcooked like you!"

"Stop calling me overcooked, you ungrateful bitch!"

"Stop calling me a bitch! It not nice calling a lady a bitch."

"Yeah, if you were one."

Clair seemly growl at Blade and she tried to keep up. "By the way, just why you so willing agreed take me with you? I'm kinda shock you so willing take someone like me in first place"

"I have... my reasons. It just boring shit anyway, not like you wanna listen anyway."

"Okay no, I'm not going keep taking, 'oh it just boring story'. I really like know, so spit it out!"

Blade sighed, "It very personal shit, which I rather not think about anymore. Lets just say, my past wasn't best thing in world and I'm just trying move away from it now. Sorry it seem I'm keep stuff from you, just trust me I don't wanna look back on it anymore."

"Oh, I'm sorry then, if it very personal I'll shut up about it. Ugh feel like this awkward now..."

Blade chuckled, "It fine whatever, quick question now. By any chance were you able have weapon take with you? I heard you can use magic but not good idea to rely too much on it."

"Oh! Well, I do have this!" Clair pulls out a kitchen knife in a wrap in a rag.

"Uh...uhmmm," Blade face show look of shocked and quickly disapointment. "That just a kitchen knife. That wont help you at all."

"It not like people just own any kinda fancy weapons, it sharp at least could still do something? Right?" Clair begin laughing out loud as it degrades to form of nervous laughter.

"I suppose first thing we should do is work to getting you a decent weapon. Next town shouldn't be to far off, better keep going."

"Awwww, like how much longer?! My legs are killing me, could you least carry me please? Pretty please?"

"Ha, as if nerd. Last thing I need is carry your ass for next few miles."

"Booo, you're not fun asshole!"

After like another hour, the pair finally reach town of Guthram, a big place compare to Hampstead. "Finally, we're here!" Clair just drop and begin sitting on ground, with excitement she finally made it to next town.

"Okay get up, we're not done yet. We need head to bar here so we see what to do make some cash."

"Oh come on... wait what, why we have go to bar seem bit odd?" She quickly get up and try caught up with Blade, when she catch up with him in the bar Blade show her billboard.

"You see, in a lot towns they ask for help for hunters, mercenaries who wish make some cash to get rid of any kinda problem the town might be having. It goes from like rouge monster, to any form gang problem or just a wanted criminal who been given town some or a lot problem. So for someone like me, this what I usually go to make some cash, though not ever place has one so kinda screw me up a bit."

"Huh, sound like easy money. Then should be easy get cash we need get shiny new weapon for me!"

"Please, kid this anything but easy. Usually it more violent monster we have hunt and people not just roll over letting you take them in. It can be some serous dangerous work you know."

"I'm sure we can handle it, you already shown be pretty badass swordsman. So which one we gonna take down?"

"How about this one, the Mantis Reaper. He looks like fun guy to play with." Blade point to paper showing the beast, which pretty much a rough drawing of a Mantis like monster.

"Ha, you folks thinkin' of takin' the Reaper eh?" The two turn around to woman who speaking to the pair, wearing mostly seeming western attire.
