"Ah, hey there loud screaming boy, need a ride?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly a merchant , bald, some scars, muscular, wearing a shirt with short sleeves, looks like the badass but friendly type of guy in a well looking carriage (The big comfy type with beds and stuff, quite luxurious, but the standard of merchants in this world) spoke to Yato, offering him a ride.

"Uhmm, is that fine? I need to go to a city around 20 Kilometers north from here."

"Ah! You must be talking about Ruria! I am currently heading there as well! And what business do you have there? Hop on and tell me! My name is Goan Fredson, 37 Years old, and you are?"

Was what the friendly merchant told Yato while helping him climbing up onto the front seat, right next to him.

"I am Yato, uhh, Crimsonfield, 16 years old, you see, I am going to register myself as an Adventurer, and an aquiantance told me that Ruria was a good place for doing that."

"OOOH!"

The old merchant became overjoyed upon hearing the words "Adventurer".

"Well, as luck has it, my destination is Ruria as well! Also, I once was an Adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. and as luck has it, searching for someone to help me protect my carriage from bandits and such, now that I have grown old! If you are going to register yourself as an adventurer, you must be quite good, huh? Wearing that cool Armor and that gigantic axe, you should have quite a lot of power inside your small body!"

"Well, I mean, I've already beaten a Minotaur in the past, so I guess im at least above average!"

Yato loosened up and happily continued his convesation with the friendly old man for a while. And after a while, ss they were about to leave the great great Plains of Etheria, a group of a least 20-30 shady looking people were blocking off they'r path.

"Hey, old man, are those..."

"Bandits? Yeah. You think you can handle them?"

"I will see what I can do, but if I begin fighting, hide yourself inside the carriage and don't come out until I tell you it's safe."

*The old man starts laughing, turning the bandits attention to him*

"You know, this old man was an adventurer once too! If you are going to fight, I will too!"

"Heh, fine by me, but don't complain if you die afterwards."

The Bandits got annoyed by their silent small talk.

"Ey! What's so funny losers? Listen here now, leave this carriage and everything you own behind, and we're letting you alive! Got that?"

The old man promptly answered and walked infront of the Bandits leader.

"Yeah sure, let me give you something in advance, a little extra, you know?"

"Oh, you pick up quickly, huh? And what's that bonu-"

"A GOOD FIST INTO YOUR UGLY FACE!"

*The old man gave the Bandit's Leader a punch that sent him flying several meters away from where he originally stood*

"I hope the rest of you is ready for what comes next! Yato, are you ready?"

"I am! Let's go old man!"

The Bandits got ready to fight and began charging at the duo.

"DIEEEEEEE!"

"Ohoh! Bring it on then!"
