Start

✦

Early the next morning, the three met up on the street where they had parted ways the night before, as promised.

🔇 N/A

✦

When TeRiRi pointed out notes on the commission, her otherwise silent trustee opened her mouth.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Even with the Magic Security Bureau's strict monitoring, Crescent Moon City isn't as safe as it appears.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Huh?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Some of the stalkers around here don't even wait until midnight.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

If something was making a ruckus around here, even if I wanted to ignore it, I couldn't.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

More Hunters? But I don't smell rust.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

No, not Hunters. More something you see everywhere—

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Long ears, red eyes, white hair. Are you TeRiRi?

🔇 N/A

✦

A voice interrupted Bronie from a distance. They all turned to see a small girl carrying a huge sword.

🔇 N/A

✦

She stood in the warm morning light, looking non-threatening. But she gave off a certain air that made everyone weary.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Excuse me, you are...?

🔇 N/A

???

✦

I've been waiting for you. I'm the one that accepted your commission. You can call me Delta.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

(... Ugh, she found us.)

🔇 N/A

✦

Delta took the commission from her coat pocket and put it where everyone could see. The certificate was stamped with the commissioning platform's seal, clear as day.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Huh? But... But these two already took my commission...

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

No problem, just leave it to me.

🔇 N/A

✦

Delta looked at Bronie and Rita and slowly reached for the hilt of her sword.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Don't play dumb. You know the penalty for stealing a commission, right?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Stealing a commission? I don't know what you're talking about. Look, we accepted the commission, met with the client, and she decided to go with us for a variety of reasons.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

— It's a shame but that's just how it goes.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Sure. And maybe you can tell me what some of these "various reasons" are?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Y'know... Strength, smarts, that sorta thing? But I don't think you really want me to go into more detail.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Ah. I don't have time for this.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

You should back off now, Delta. We're not looking for a fight.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

You're the ones who are causing trouble. The rules are clear on this, TeRiRi is my client.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But we also have a copy of that certificate.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

What?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Wait... Wait, let's not fight.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

(Bronie, I recall my commissions screen only showing possible candidates. But this girl not only found where we were meeting, but she has a certified seal...)

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

(You don't know? That sort of certificate can be faked.)

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

(It can be faked?)

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

(Yep! Especially a seal of certification. You could just carve it into a carrot, anyone can do it really.)

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Hey, stop whispering right in front [sic] me.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

She's right though, certificates can be forged.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Especially if you're good at hacking. You could hack into the commissions' system, forge your certificate, rush to the meeting place and cover your traces...

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

— A real breeze. Right?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Ha. I didn't know you think that highly of hackers; I'm touched.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

You...!

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

... Forget it. If you still have doubts, how about we put it to the test and see who's more qualified to take the commission.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

If that'll make you go away completely, then I'm down.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

She pulled her eyes away after noticing others on the street were starting to pick up on their tense conversation — whispering and then shifting their gaze as they hurried away.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

We should try to keep our conversation calm with the street as busy as it is.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

You're clearly lying and you still want me to keep calm?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

... But Ms. Delta, you haven't been all that honest either.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

At the very least, shouldn't you introduce your partner to TeRiRi?

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

What?

🔇 N/A

✦

A light breeze blew onto the street from far away, stirring up petals and the otherwise stagnant air.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Do you smell that? The wind is carrying the smell of flowers that aren't from this city...

🔇 N/A

???

✦

Since you were talking about me, I figure it'd be rude not to make an appearance.

🔇 N/A

✦

The cold light from the white blade cut through the town's idle peace.

🔇 N/A

???

✦

You're quick.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Still able to maintain your balance after falling from such a height; it's you who has skills.

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

I know how to hide myself but you still saw right through me. You're no ordinary person.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

I just have some experience, it's nothing really.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

How about we knock off the niceties for now, yeah? Our old friends are back.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Hunters! Ugh... The Magic Security Bureau doesn't even let an argument go by unnoticed.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It looks like we have more pressing issues than who's getting this commission — what do we think?

🔇 N/A

✦

The priestess didn't respond, instead turning silently to her partner.

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

Delta, let's take care of the problem at hand first.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Ugh, what a nag.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Alright. We'll take care of them and then get back to fighting.

🔇 N/A

✦

Bronie stepped forward, shielding TeRiRi, but TeRiRi leaped in front of her.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

TeRiRi, what are you doing?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

This looks like big trouble... There are a lot more Hunters here than last night.

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi gave a slight sigh, and took out small glass bottles of potions from her pocket.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Let's spare everyone in town any trouble and make this quick.

🔇 N/A

< Complete the tile-matching puzzle game and defeat the Brick Dwarf to beat the stage. >

TeRiRi

✦

Huff... Huff... That takes care of them.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Alright then, now we can discuss — Wait, why are your weapons out?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It was Delta who pointed her sword at me first.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

??

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

Bronie, each time the first person to pull their weapon was you.

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

— Especially counting the three drones you also have hidden.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

What three drones? All I saw was someone sneaking around on rooftops.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Cut the nonsense, they're the ones looking for a fight.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Hey, you're the ones who showed up out of nowhere. Who would believe we're the ones looking for a fight. Right, boss?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Bronie, don't call me boss, it sounds weird. And Delta, put your sword away.

🔇 N/A

✦

Neither one took a step back, but instead stepped toward each other.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Pft...

🔇 N/A

✦

TeRiRi quickly realized she wasn't going to be able to solve such a petty argument. So she summoned the courage to turn to the person she thought was the most mature.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

R-Rita, what do you think about this commission problem?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

... What do I think?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Hehe, I think we could probably just work together.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Rosemary, I'll tell you one more time. We can. But "they..." can't.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

At any rate, TeRiRi is the client and she has the right to go with whomever she chooses.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Even if she were to cancel the commission, she's well within her right.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

But... You don't want to see her struggle, do you?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Don't get that close! That kind of talk makes my skin crawl.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Anyway, I'll only listen to you, TeRiRi. It's your call.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I-I second Rita's proposal. If the four of you team up, the commission should go smoothly!

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It's just a trip to the library. Do you really need that many people?

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

I don't see why not! I've been pretty unlucky lately. The more people, the more at ease I am.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Besides, you all have the certificates, which means you're all approved in the system without any bad records or funny business.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Yep. I'm not skilled like that. I can't speak for others.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

What are you trying to get at? If you've got something to say, say it.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

L-Let's just let it be. I can pay... pay each person full pay! ... How does that sound?

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

You've really got some deep pockets.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

It's not about the money, TeRiRi...

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Aside from Delta, a certain member of our party hasn't even given us her name yet. I can't work with people I don't know.

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Priestess

✦

I'm Kasumi. I'm just an every-day priestess.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

But there isn't a sakura tree or shrine in sight and I can't find out a single thing about you.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Besides, aren't you more ninja than priestess?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

Perhaps.

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

But the same thing could be said for you, hacker. Changing or erasing your true identity has to be much easier than planting cherry blossoms or building shrines.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's not unusual for those of us who are always on the move to have multiple codenames.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

And what Ms. TeRiRi wants in the end is to have her commission completed.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Of course, she isn't going to put up with anyone weighing us down or attracting Hunters.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

T-That's right! I'm grateful so many people took my commission. As for what Rita just mentioned, I'm sure those sorts of things won't happen!

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

We're just going to the library after all.

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Alright. If that's what you want, I won't get in the way — Who doesn't like money?

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

It's beneficial to both of us to partner up with strong travel companions.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

What do you two think?

🔇 N/A

Kasumi

✦

... Fine by me.

🔇 N/A

Delta

✦

Ha, as long as you don't purposefully get in my way.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Haha, now that we're working together, why would we purposefully get in your way?

🔇 N/A

Bronie

✦

Who knows whose side you're on... It makes sense she doesn't trust you.

🔇 N/A

Rita

✦

Our relationship isn't as complex as you think, Ms. Bronie. She's just a bit shy... Or perhaps, indirect?

🔇 N/A

✦

Rita covered her mouth as she laughed quietly while the others stared on in silence.

🔇 N/A

✦

Still, the tension between the five of them had eased up, making TeRiRi breathe a sigh of relief.

🔇 N/A

TeRiRi

✦

Phew... This is great! We're all going to get along!

🔇 N/A
