"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong."

POV {RIZA}
Just an another day of adventuring I suppose, haaah~
But at least today was a bit different, finnally reaching to the 10th floor of the {Theahion dungeon}
And in return, a pretty good haul from monster drops

If only the dungeon was closer to town then it'll be helpful in so many ways
Commuting through the forest takes about a day or two
A dungeon right across the corner of town....
But I suppose it won't be called a dungeon for no reason

An 5 hours has passed since we left that place and it's now 3pm
About another day and a half till we reach town, for now a breif transmission.
It's time for a moment's rest till we head back and trade our earning to the Adventuer's guild

Having our late lunch and a little cleansing would be helpful
Lucky a lake was found and we decided to rest there
The girls would take first dip in the water while the men would tend to the making of a bonfire.
After which the men will take a turn bathing afterwards and the girls will prepare the lunch.

Now that I think about it, this quite the unique party assembly.
A guild of 5 people consisting of a swordsman, archer, tank, theft, and priest.
I'd say it's quite the balanced guild.
Adding a plus to that fact, as such the existence of a female adventurer and multiracial companion.
Forgot to also say that it's because females rarely take on the task, much would rather stay home or tend to knitting and what not.
I can't really blame them, in fact there was some instances of fledging female adventurers being sensually harassed and some as far as rape.
It's just the matter of realty, honestly; also discrimination of different races are high as well.

I guess I shouldn't take things to granted as always...

Reminiscing while bathing...

"Riza-chan, Riza-chan, Riza-chan!"

"Hah!? Wha-what about Felicia..."

"Mou... You've been staring blankly out to no where just a minute ago!"
"Is there anything wrong or something else on your mind?"

"Haaha, nope! I'm just lost along with my thoughts"
"It's just I'm really happy that's all"

"Why so?"
"Is it because we've saw through another day?"

"We'll that's one of the cases, so... Yeah"
"I mean it's technically a treacherous occupation"

"Well if you say so..."

"Come on, enough with the worry lot,

"It's isn't true, who wouldn't worry?"

"Hehe, okay... I get your point"

"More importantly, when will we arrive to the capital?"
"I miss my bed already..."

"Ah it's around a three day trip?"
"Passing the Alna Dosymp Forest will take a bit long though, but we'll meet up at the main trading route."
"There we can take a faster pace"

"Fumu fumu"

"Well it's also a breather as well, this water is fine as well."

"......"

"......"
"Risa-san?"

"Wait a sec..."
"Nee Felicia-san did you hear that?"

"Hear what Riza-chan? I don't hear anything"

"It came around there, did you notice it?"

".... Hmmm a presence?"
"Wait,... now that I focus on, I do sense there was such magical presence"
"I thought it was another animal and dismissed it"

"Do you think it's one our boys?"

"Riza-chan, you shouldn't have such little faith on our comrades"
"Didn't we known together for so long?"

"Yeah, so long in fact till that Eason boy; I caught peeking 32 times"

"Well that is true though, ahh well don't go so rough on them ok?"
"It could also be something else as well, won't it hurt to check out calmly right?"

"An event while it's our turn to bathe?"
"I highly doubt it"
"It's him alright"

"But Riza-chan..."

"It's ok~"
"I'll give out just blood lust, I won't engage in actual combat"
"I give out a fourth of what I usually do too"
"I'll beat them a lesson they'll never forget"

"My, My, do I feel this is a bad idea in so many levels"

"If captain was to be a bit more suspicious about Zano's motives, this wouldn't happen you know?"

"Ara, I guess captain is a person of such"

"Jeez~ Felicia-san and captain are two peas in a pod"
" Skill activate [Blood beast : Hunt]"

"I really suggest that you should take it easy, with out all that blood lust"
"Becareful~"

"Oh hell yeah I will"

As I sprinted forward to the suspicious target I initiate a little of blood lust
This of course coming from a rank B+ warriors shouldn't be harmful with anyone who considers themselves warriors.
Just simple intimidation amongst warriors are common
I suppose Eason just graduated from rank C+ swordsman and still is a rookie among all.

As I make through the water's shore and unto firm earth
With my trusty claw gauntlet I search for the brat's scent and subtle resonation
.....
Is this... Not him?
No wait I checked for awhile
Yeah, yeah I'm positive this isn't him...
But it's a somebody for sure
.....
A spy?
Maybe it's from a bandit group
Did they followed us from the duengeon?
They might as well attack when we least expected it...

How intolerable...
I plan on catching one myself, see what they're up to.
I'll guess I have to really be a bit serious now...

In the midst of thick woods and the shadows
Mugging and various bandit accounts had been done
It's no joke if that date was to befall upon us then

I hasten my foot steps towards my foe
Seeing the possibility of the bandit bailing early,
From noticing me early on

I pressed deeper in to the Forest
Good, it didn't really moved much
Probably it doesn't know I'm tracking it in the very moment

A couple feets near by, I could see the tree it's behind in.
Looking back it does have the perfect distance for a far sighting some one
Well if my suspicions were right on...

I clawed out a large chunk of the tree, using it as a pivot to turn to my target hidding behind the thick tree.
And what I found out....
My target...
Was not as a suspected...

"A girl?"
"Are?, you're not a bandit?"

"Aaahhhh!!!!"

As it lost grip of the tree's root and tumbled due to the sloped plane

"Ahh a little girl!?"

She seem really in distress
As she held a rustic blade wearily towards me before it passed out
And it's face pale, body out cold

Oh no, what have I done!
