A pair of fighters were exchanging blows with their weaponry in the arena the Minister set up for Esdeath.
She had hosted a sort of tournament with a money prize for whom won, with alternative means of finding a new Teigu wielder for the scissors Teigu, and a personal alternative means of finding someone who she could love.
She let out a lengthy yawn, bored of the fighters who have fought so far.
"What do you think of these two, General?" Run asked, standing beside Esdeath's personal seat.
"Boring men, make for a boring match." She replied simply. "As I thought, no Teigu wielders among them so far."
"Ah! It seems the match is settled." Run commented with a smile.
"The winner, Draper Nobunaga!" Wave announced, standing in the ring as both Announcer and Referee.
Seryu and Okami were watching from the stands, more or less on the watch for anybody bidding on the competition, as Esdeath had made it clear she thought it pointless and thus didn't want it.
Okami was staring at a couple of seats in particular, however.
"Hey, Okami, you okay? You're just staring out into the crowd." Seryu asked, waving a hand in front of his face.
He turned to look at her, a smile forming on what was visible of his face. "Yeah, just noticed a couple of guys in the crowd who'd probably do pretty good in this thing, I've noticed at least two that could probably take the win home." He responded, glancing back at two in particular.
"I see, Hmph, that's too bad I guess, these fights are starting to get a little boring." Seryu responded, hopping onto a small ledge, swinging her feet carelessly.
Okami bent down, picking Koro up and placing him so he sat next to her, before hopping up onto the ledge as well, sitting next to the Teigu.
A fight between a young blacksmith and a large bull man was happening at the moment.
"So, what's your reason for coming here?" He asked, still looking out at the match about to take place.
She stiffened a bit, before frowning, a dark aura looming around her. "Night Raid." She responded venomously. "They took one of the people I care about most not too long ago, and while I did get one of them before," she started, clenching her fist. "I need to get the rest, but I can't do it alone." She explained.
He nodded, understanding. "I see, if you don't mind me asking who was it?" He asked.
"My instructor." She responded, a bit distant sounding.
"Hm, well, for me the reason I'm here is because I'm curious, curious about the Minister and the Emperor, and the General's and all of that, otherwise I would've declined the invite." He informed, watching as the Blacksmith slowly brought the fight to an end.
"And? What's you're opinion on them so far?" She asked, curious.
He shrugged. "About as I had expected, although there are moments where I've been surprised, and I'm finding myself start to have fun here, so I plan on sticking around." He explained.
She nodded, and silence enveloped the two as the Blacksmith won the fight, Esdeath going down to congratulate him.
