On a table there sat 3 man talking and drinking "Hey hey! Did you hear the rumour?" Said the first one. "Oy Kagul! If you are talking about the famous masked swordmans! I say it's all bullshit!" Said the other one who was sitting across him.

" No apparently the rumours are true! And 'cloud is a girl!' " Chimed the other one from different table. "An acquaintance of mine supposedly once teamed with them. The boy is travelling with Jasmine Flamesworth and the girl is all by herself. They both are short so it's pretty hard to miss them."

Now the other brother joined and asked "So what did your so-called 'Acquaintance ' said about them?" The other just laughed and said " The rumours are true. They both are not mages. And the girl never use her sword unless necessary. She use her dagger."

" I even heard the girl have a big bounty on her head. The ones who went to kill her were never seen again!" Another one said while eating. Both the brothers said "Bullshit!" At the same time.

"Either that "masked swordmans " are augmenter or the rumours are exaggerated!" The older brother said. The younger one started " Have you heard sone of their stories? He have solo-cleared A-rank dungeons by himself. While the girl cleared S-rank!! Even B-class augmenters can't do that, even if it a low-level dungeon." The older one drank a bit and said " You expect us to believe an Ordinary swordman can?" The smaller Chimed and said "He have Jasmine Flamesworth with him. She has probably helped them? and the girl probably used her body to kill the bounty hunters. She have quite a figure." They some shouted for another drink and said " Bring them here. We'll take them on."

The door opened revealing masked swordman . " Speak of the devil." The older brother said " Where is your guardian little boy? Is she off--" The boy walked and ingnor the duo. " Just do you think you are?" With that the males tried hitting him. Many tried to stop them but no avail. He dodged easily. And I'm a blink of an eye the older brothers fingers were cut off. The boy had already left with his rations.

The door again opened Revealing the female masked swordman. The younger brother had lost his cool so he reckless attack the girl. And the younger one was stripped. By the female masked swordman. She had just appeared out nowhere behind him and kicked him.

The girl said " Eh pink panties?!" And then walked towards the lady and asked "There must be a sacks of rations here under name of 'cloud' " the girl from the counter was trying muffle her laugh and nodded to bring ration.
