Hanako's PoV:

" Dad! We need to get going now." I overhear my childhood friend say back to his dad. I walked outside of the clan house, waiting for Lee to say his goodbyes to his dad. We have an adventure waiting for us..

After a lot of minutes of waiting, my childhood friend finally came out of the door. His black face mask covered half of his face, James Lee (or Lee as I always call him) wore a white plain shirt, dark blue shorts, and those slippers for ninjas. He tends to copy a character from the book he's reading there.

"You kids better be safe, okay?" The adult tells us. " Hanako, always follow my son.. Try not to get lost there."

" Yes, Thank you for everything, sir!" I said my final goodbyes to my guardian.

James Lee came to my side and we began walking on our way to the city.

It's been two years since I agreed to stay in their clan house, as I spent those years looking for my older sister who was kidnapped by strange people.

While escaping from those mages, I bumped into a white haired ninja who I learned to came from a clan of ninja mages. Their clan head was his father, Alfonso Lee. Despite his bald head and pleasant personality, the training he gave us was torture... They helped me work on my aim in throwing shurikens and taught me basic self defense.

There were also clan secrets that they didn't agree to share with me, sadly.

Time skip: After 1 hour of walking...

Anyway, we finally reached the train station to travel to the famous city called Magnolia. This wasn't our first time taking this transportation, sometimes the clan accepts weird requests from trusted clients that has me and Lee leave the house for weeks or even months...

" Dibs!" I sat quickly besides the window seat and did a tongue out to the older boy. The ninja just ignored me while sitting across me. He was busy reading his book called "Icha Icha Paradise", that has a weird cover on the front.

A small table divided us, as my head fell from boredom and i slept quickly.

...

"Hey, wake up." I felt something hit my head hard, it was painful for a small kid like me. I opened my eyes and swatted his book away.

"That's so mean, stupid ninja!" I screeched at him and blinked. "Hey, where are we now?" I asked, looking out of the window. This was the first time i went to this place.

"We're in Magnolia city."

"Wow that didn't take long.. let's go already." I said impatiently, feeling the motion sickness reaching my brain.

☆☆☆

A river connected some parts of the city, with bridges in every corner. The large city had a variety of stores in every corner. It was easy to get lost from all the people walking everywhere.

"Come on, let's get to that guild house!" I pulled his arm as I ran to the famous guild quickly, also dragging the poor ninja with me. He suddenly stopped, his momentum made me fall to the ground.

"Jerk.." I whined from the ground.

"We need to rent a place first. Then you can join that guild.." He says briefly. His eyes landed on a small inn that was conveniently beside us.

"Pfft- fine! " I puffed up my cheeks and followed behind him. He opened the door, and it made a bell sound.
