Duncan's POV:

Since we had another mission, Leone decided to take Tatsumi and I through a little tour to familiarise ourselves with the location. Despite being in a more dirty part of the Capital, this location had less sin then most of it.

Funny enough, Sheele and Mine also had a mission. Hopefuly they return safe... Sheele more then Mine.

But as we walked around, one scent invaded my nostrils. Sulfur.

Hard to tell if Vengeance or any regular demon has been around here. Better keep an eye out.

Leone: "The slum can get pretty lively. It's how the people here learned to live."

Duncan: "Gotta hand it to them, they know how to see the glass half full. Living the moment."

The more we walked, many more people started to recognize Leone.

Woman: "Good morning, Leone!"

Old Woman: "Come again to massage my shoulders, got it?"

Man: "Hey, Leone, how about a drink tonight?"

Kid: "Leone! Come and play with me!"

I let out a chuckle. It was quite easy to see why people around here looked up to her and enjoyed her company. Leone was quite the easy-going and carefree spirit. Reminds me of my old self.

Tatsumi: "You're very popular around here."

Leone: "I was born and raised here, after all."

Duncan: "Kinda obvious. But's what with the old lady and massages?"

Leone: "Oh that? I made a name of myself as a massage therapist. Hehe, if you'd like, I could give you one."

I grabbed my shoulder and rolled it a few times.

Duncan: "Gonna keep that in mind. Now le-"

We were interrupted by two men who were looking quite angry. More specificaly at Leone. Guess not all people are fond of her.

Man1: "That's it! That's Leone!" He shouted angrily, pointing at Leone.

Man2: "Finally! I'll make you pay the bill!"

The both of them started running. Leone jumped, displaying an expression of fear.

I crossed my arms and scoffed.

Duncan: "And making a name out of not paying for drinks, I assume?"

Leone: "Stop chatting and run!"

Duncan: "I beg your pardon?" I kept a deadpan expression.

Without even thinking twice, Leone ran away followed by Tatsumi.

Zarathos: 'Why did that dumbass run? Aren't they after the blondie?'

Beats me.

The two men ran past me. Maybe because I glared at them, but that's just my opinion.

Zarathos: 'Yeah, that's just you, kid. You look so aproachable that I thought they might invite you to some tea.'

Bugger off, skull face. Doesn't work without biscuits.

Zarathos: 'Fucking brits.'

Duncan: "Better find that idiot before he gets gutted like a fish."
