Meanwhile, in the small dwarven town.
Hazuki yawned as he strolled lazily down the main street, hands stuffed in his pockets, posture slouched like he had all the time in the world.
He moved at his own pace, heading toward the town gate.
Ridan, on the other hand, was anything but calm.
"Monster!! Monster!! Monster!!" the spirit shouted, zooming in circles above Hazuki like an overcaffeinated mosquito.
Hazuki just gave him a sleepy side glance.
"Man... can't believe you're this excited over a basic guild quest."
"Basic!? BASIC!? It's a monster extermination job, you know! That means potential violence, loot, danger!" Ridan spun midair, hands thrown up dramatically. "This is a thrill, my boring friend!"
Hazuki yawned again.
"Yeah well, I got nothing better to do anyway."
"You gave me a heart attack when you almost picked that find wild herbs quest!!" Ridan barked, floating upside down with a smug face.
Hazuki groaned, rubbing his temple.
