(Outside of the Valley of Butterflies)
???: Man! That was huge haul!
??? 2: Sure... I barely got anything useful!
??? 3: Ah! Suck it up!
*Snap!*
??? 2: What's that?!
The group turned to the sound of a twig snapping.
*Tick!*
???: What the...?
His body dropped down and his mouth was filled with blood.
??? 2: HEY! DUDE, GET UP!
??? 4: I wouldn't touch him if I were you...
??? 2: Huh-?
He turned around to have a Wakizashi jammed in his throat.
??? 3: ?!
The last member turned around to see his friends dead.
??? 4: You're lucky that I need you alive...
He was quickly disabled by a jab to the throat and a chop to the neck. The last living being here was MY target.
Kuroudo: You have a huge bounty on your head.
I casted a paralysis spell on the rogue Sylph so he wouldn't move anywhere.
??? 3: H-Hey! W-We can talk about this!
Kuroudo: Alright, I'll bite. How much will you pay for your release?
??? 3: U-Uh... 20,000 Mithril Yuld Pieces!
Kuroudo: Hard pass.
I picked him up and plopped him over my shoulders.
Kuroudo: Sakuya's paying three times that.
I activated my wings and bolted from the ground.
??? 3: Please! Just let me go! I'll pay you!
Kuroudo: Nope, nope and nope. You're broke so what'd you have to pay me?
??? 3: Come on!
Kuroudo: No!
I hit his face with my elbow.
Kuroudo: Next time, keep your mouth shut!
I flew all the way to Arun from the Valley of the Butterflies with this nuisance over my shoulder with occasional breaks to let my wings recharge. After the long journey was completed, I brought the piece of shit to the bar, waiting for Sakuya.
??? 3: C-Come on man! Think about this! Sh-She'll kill me!
Kuroudo: Won't be the worst thing that has happened so far...
??? 4: Sorry for the wait, Kuroudo.
Looking behind be was Sakuya, smiling. She slowly walked to me.
Kuroudo: It's all good. You never told me that this idiot was such a blabber mouth.
Sakuya: He's only like that when he's in a panic. Knock him out and you'll be fine.
Kuroudo: I'll keep that in mind.
I stretched out my hand and gave the 'Gimme' gesture.
Sakuya: Right. The price we agreed upon, 60,000 Mithril Yuld pieces.
