As we were walking to Caesar's wagon I heard sounds of arguing. At first, I was just gonna ignore it but it's on our way to Caesar so I might as well see what's happening right? As walked further I can tell the noise is from the alleyway. Which I do take a look in. Look's like a fancy looking man and his wife vs two thugs. They most likely are trying to rob him. Personally, I would never interfere. But as I was going to leave that man calls me out.

"Hey! You boy! Help us two please." he says

. . . I turn around and the two thugs also look at me.

"You saw everything huh boy." one of the thugs tell me

"I wasn't the only one." I reply

"There's no one but you boy. Stop trying to bluff." the other one says

I turn around and see that Dalton and them are still walking to Caesar. I guess they didn't notice. Really left me hanging huh? Well, it's my fault for choosing to watch this happen anyway.

"Well, we can't just let you casually walk away from this one boy." both of the thugs say

Ya know them saying boy a lot reminds me of my family. Wonder how they're doing. Ah, I'm sure they're fine. One of the thugs is preparing to charge at me as he twirls his knife. I grab my shield and pull out my sheathe? Oh... yea my sword is gone. I guess those wounds I got earlier might reopen up since I have to move to dodge them. Sorry Andr. I also twirl my sheathe to flex on them. The one who twirled his knife with blue hair charges me. I dodge to the side and throw my sheathe at the guy who charged at me. Which probably wasn't the best idea but it hit him. The scabbard hits his head and bounces off and lands on the ground.

The other guy charges at me with his fist. He punches me where I couldn't block. It feels one-sided... also some of my wounds have reopened. I also haven't fully recovered from earlier so it's a bit hard. I land in a couple punches and end up shield bashing him instead. I also hit him in the head with my shield for good measures. The other guy gets up and as he tries to do something Dalton comes in and hits him in the head with my scabbard.

"So, that's where you were Link." Dalton says

"Took ya long enough to notice." I tell him

"Yea yea but it was your fault." he replies

The fancy look man in a tuxedo walks up to me.

"Ah, thank you boy for saving me and my wife instead of running even though we called you out. We will repay you once we head back to Plumeria's capital. What is your name?" he tells me

"Uh... I'm Link." I answer

"Link my boy thank you. My name is Blaz. I know you are an adventurer. I will see you tomorrow then." Blaz says

"Uh... ok." I reply

Blaz and his wife walk into the distance and enter a building.

"So, they forced you to help them deal with thugs?" Dalton asks

"Yeah." I answer

"Huh... also we should probably get Andr to heal your wounds again... they're open." Dalton tells me

"Yeah, I know." I reply

We walk to Andr and Destiny and they are still near Caesar and Ellie.

"Link you opened your wounds?" Andr says with a sigh

"Uh... Yeah. Sorry." I tell her

"Come here let me heal them again." she tells me

I sit down and Andr start's casting healing magic to close up the wounds.

"Now make sure to not stress your body again." she informs me

"I won't." I assure her this time

She puts her hand on her head but gives a soft smile.

"What happened earlier?" Destiny asks me

"Uh... I got forced into a fight?" I say

"You don't sound very sure of yourself." Destiny replies

"Yep." I reply

"Well good thing you weren't hurt too bad." Caesar says

"Yep." I reply with the same answer

We grab our stuff from Caesar's wagon and we all walk into the inn to register and put our things away. It cost us 5 silver this time dropping us to 6 silver coins. We all wave goodbye to Caesar and Ellie and head into our rooms to put our belongings down. I grab my sweater too as part of my shirt is missing with the left shoulder pad. I take off the armor as I see no point in it now.

We all then meet outside and head towards the hot spring. We walk into and the owner welcomes us and lets us in. We into separate springs from girl and boy. As we walk in we see... Shiro? slowly inching towards a peeping hole to check out the girls I assume. We walk up to him and Dalton hits him on the head.

"Hey, what the hell." Shiro says while scratching his head

He turns towards us.

"Oh, it's you guys. Didn't expect you guys to be here." Shiro says

"Yeah. We are, so your checking out the girls? No can do my sisters over there and I don't want to get killed." Dalton tells him

"He's right yah know." I say

"Oh, I see. Was just checking out the other women in there." Shiro tells us

Dalton and I look at each other and I shrug and so does he. He all just sit down in the spring and relax.

"So, how you other heroes doing?" Shiro asks us

"Oh, ya know we're doing fine besides the fact that Link almost died." Dalton says

"Not my fault the ceiling collapsed." I say with a sign

"Yea though... I wonder who that guy was trying to kill you and the Mozor." Dalton says

"Who knows..." I answer

"Must have been rough. Me and Zuj were here to arrest bandits. While that happened we managed to save a girl. She forcefully joined our party without our consent." Shiro tells us

"Lol." I mumble

"Well... I have been in here for a while and my party is probably waiting for me so I'll head out. Good luck you four." Shiro says as he gets up and leaves

Well after this talk it does seem to confirm that Shiro is the other hero. I wonder how the girls are doing. Hopefully nothing too weird. As I said that a moan was heard from the other side. Ok well, something weird is going on over there.

"Lol, the girls are probably touching each other over there." Dalton says with a laugh

"Heh, maybe." I say

We spend the next twenty minutes just relaxing and washing ourselves before leaving. As we get out we put on our clothes and I put my sweater back on. As we're leaving the spring we see a couple guards patrolling around. The girls also get out as we were about to walk to the inn. We walk back together and we then split ways into our rooms. We get into our beds and then close our eyes to sleep.

I wake up the next morning to see Dalton isn't in the room with his stuff. I grab my belongings and walk outside the room and see him in the hallway with Andr and Destiny.

"You're a heavy sleeper man. But morning Link." Dalton says

The others also say morning and I reply with morning.

"We were about to head to Mozor's place to since he did say he wanted to pay you extra." Dalton tells me

"Oh, yeah. He did mention that." I mutter

We walk outside and see Caesar and Ellie waiting for us. I also see the Blaz dude next to them in a carriage. We head to the building with the bell. Wait wasn't it the building with the girl who was rude to us? Oh, well, whatever. We enter the building and see Mozor.

"Ah, good to see you four! I truly thank you. Also, I heard my daughter was a bit rude to you four." Mozor says

The same girl from yesterday with green hair comes into the room.

"I'm... I'm sorry for being rude to four. I am truly thankful for you four saving my dad." she says while bowing

Ok.

"Ah. It's fine." Dalton says

I look at Dalton with a confused expression. NO, it was NOT fine.

"Anyway sorry for my daughter Morowa, being a nuisance. Anyway here I got Dalton and you two new swords to replace your swords you lost in the fight yesterday and here's an extra 2 gold coins on the house. Anyway, you folks should get going huh? Tell Garen I said hi." Mozor says 

"We will." says Dalton

We nod and thank Mozor for what he has given us and head out. We go to Caesar and climb aboard the wagon and set off. Blaz also follows us. Destiny, Ellie, and Andr are playing games and enjoying themselves. Dalton is talking with Caesar. I attempt to talk with Blaz but I can't necessarily do that as he's inside a carriage... Oh well, I'll talk to him again when we get into Plumeria's capital anyway. I look off to the distance to try to relax and distract myself.
