Before the sun rises, the three of us were awake and ready to go. Due to the shopping spree with Justino he forces us to buy a large tent, excessive number of rations and water, and random junk he thinks that could keep us entertained. We also visited some armor and weapon smiths. Just so he can be satisfied, we all brought a pair of daggers and some armor. It took me about an hour of convincing just to only buy a ring and not an entire set of armor or a new halberd.

When we went to the front gate, we can see quite a few people standing there. We recognized some of the people from the meeting yesterday along with a few that I presume to be from the capital. There not that many people here so the three of us waited by the wall. As time went by, more and more people joined some of them were quite interesting. I saw a bard which was rare even in the game. But what caught my eyes was a person who is 6'6, wearing a full set of pink armor with small spikes on the edges of the armor. Looking closely, underneath the armor is chain mill. His helmet is also pink and represent a demonic skull with horns that curves outward in front of him. on his right hand, he is holding a pink kite shield with a design of a unicorn. looking at the side of the shield have sharp edges; the bottom of the kite shield is sharp enough to decapitate someone heads off with force. The only part that's not sharp is the top of the kite which appears to be blunt surprisingly. on his other hand, the only thing that not pink is his sword which is 3'0 feet long and have an engraving on it that spells 'Mr. Sunshine'. The sword other than the engravings just look like an ordinary sword, leather grip, steel blade, round pommel, Just normal. I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. Apparently, the pink armor is talking to a group of adventure I recognized so I got up from the ground and walk towards him.

Zack: Hello, where did you get the armor?

The person looks at me then proceeded to extend his hand. I reach my hand and we both shook.

Lyinx: Hello little one. My name is Lyinx, but people call me 'Dream chaser'. Aren't you a bit too young to get up this early?

The people who witness my fight told him that I was also part of the group going on the quest. He looks at them, then turn to me, then back to them.

Lyinx: You serious?

They were trying to explain to him that I can hold my own in a fight. He looks at the group thinking that they were lying to him but have no evidence to argue with them. Also, the fact that I'm holding a halberd that's clearly too heavy for a normal child.

Lyinx: Sorry for my rudeness I hope you can forgive me.

Me and the group of adventure were talking about recent events until Justino was getting yell at by...Grandma?!?!

Grandma: How dare you take these kids to that dangerous place. I should hit you until your black and blue along with anybody else that agree to this.

Justino was getting beat up by grandma with her sturdy walking stick.

Justino: Ohin grandmother please I cannot take this damage. Also, your son agrees to this.

We all stop what we were doing and see this lady attacking Justino. Suddenly we can see her anger directed towards one-person Justino mentions. Her walking cane has begun to show cracks from her death grip.

Grandma: I'll make sure that idiot of a son does something like this again.

I better step in before she kills Justino in broad daylight.

Zack: Grandmama do not fear we will return.

Grandma: Oh, sonny I know you'll be safe because you're not going.

I knew I should have just minded my own business I might die if I anger her too much.

Zack: Grandmama, we know what we are getting into. If we back down now, it will be on our record. I swore I shall return unscathed.

She rests both her hands on her damage cane and had her head down.

Grandma: you have to, or this town will feel my wrath.

I can see bloodlust aura emitting from grandma. This might be the first time in a long time where I truly fear someone.

Grandma: Oh, dear me I almost forgot, here.

She handed me three items wrap in dark red cloth.

Grandma: Just in case you get hungry I made you my special dry meat.

Zack: Thank you grandmama.

she then smiles.

Grandma: Remember my promise. I'm getting tired, I'll be going home waiting for you to get back.

As she was walking away she stop and turn around

Grandma:Oh, I almost forgot, here Justino.

she drops another smaller cloth bag, but it landed on the ground next to her.

Grandma: You better bring the kids back well. Or else.

As she was walking away, the man in pink armor commented that she is one scary lady.

After the unique event that happen before us, I walk back to Marcus and Lisa and waited by the wall until it was time for us to depart. After for what feels like forever, a short man with a black axe, another heavy armor but it in silver, and a really long braded beard stand up on the cart while making a whistle sound.

Domos: Alright everybody, roll call.

A Short man named Domos began to call everybody's name on a piece of parchment. Some of the name sounded familiar and others sounded 'normal'. By the time when he got to our name, he made a confuse face then began to just say it.

Domos: One, Two, and Three?

The name One, Two, and Three is given to us by Mia when we registered at the guild. I can tell that everybody looked confuse while others were holding their laughter. I for one took pried in the name One.

Zack: One here.

Lisa: Two present.

Marcus: ...

Marcus just hold his hand out with his middle, index, and ring fingers out in a number three motion. Many of the adventure looked at us in disbelief except for one who have shown disapproval.

Domos: That's funny kids, but we don't get paid to babysit so get out before you get hurt. Alright I guess there not here so I'll just cross their names. Now let us see who's next on the list...Justino?!?!

I can see that majority of the people were talking to each other.

Justino: I am here, I shale partake on this quest so please take care of me.

Domos: Take care of you? An S rank adventure, its more like you're taking care of us.

Zack: C'mon stop jerking him off and let's go.

A few people laugh while I can see Domos getting angry.

Domos: Show some respect before I beat it into you

I can see Justino and a few people are starting to get worried.

Justino: Stop Domos, the kids are going with us on this journey so please show some respect.

Domos: Now this is clearly a joke. Those kids look like they could barely hold a weapon let alone a fight.

Zack: Why don't you prove it midget.

Domos: I am a dwarf and why don't we have a fight then.

I got up from the wall and both Domos and I walk to each other.

Domos: Impressive instead of running away scare, you actually stayed and fight.

Zack: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer.

I can hear many of the adventure talking to each other and taking bets. Not surprising many were betting on Domos while a few were betting on me. As we were about face to face from each other, He began to speak to me like a little kid.

Domos: Why don't you apo-

Without a second thought, I punch him in the abdomen. It cause a significant dent in the armor and Domos was bending down coughing up blood. Before he could react from my attack I swing my fist in a downward motion to the side of his skill. With that he was on the ground unresponsive I decided to check his stats

Title: Strong Arm, Honorable, Unflinching, By the Books, B-Rank adventure Guild

If I look older, would he still be awake right now? Oh well time to loot this guy. All of the other adventure were looking at me while I check Domos pockets. I found some copper and silver pieces in a small bag, I unequipped his armor and took a look at it. Since their was a dent in it, I just toss it to the side and pick up his Black axe.

Justino: Leave him alone.

Zack: The spoils goes to the victor.

Justino just shook his head and gave everyone orders on what to do. As I look at Domos I realize something, Dwarves pried is focus on their beard. Its not about winning or loseing, Its about sending a message. I hold his axe with my right hand and hold his beard with my leaf hand. Right before when I could cut the beard, someone grab my arm. I turn my head and I saw Justino holding my arm and giving me a blank stare.

Justino: What were you about to do?

Zack: Cut his beard.

Justino: Why?

At this point, many of the adventure were looking at us some of the Dwarves were ferious because they knew what I was about to do while others were confuse about what was happening.

Zack: Its about sending a message

Justino: Please leave him alone and wait by the wall until were ready to leave.

I couldn't send the message, but I have enough respect to do what he asks so I just walk back to where Lisa and Marcus were. When I got to the wall Lisa was trying to hold her laughter while Marcus was writing letters in the book. We all sat by the wall for about ten minutes until Justino told everyone that we were about to leave. He then signals us to come over there. Both Marcus and I got up while Lisa ask to carry her to the cart. We both just began to walk over to the cart and Lisa got up and ran towards us. When we all got on the front of the cart, Justino gave one last look around and on his signal, all the cart began to move to its destination.

About five minutes onto our trip, we can hear screaming coming from behind everybody turn their head around and we see a brown and black stripe tanuki beastmen running at us.

???: PPPPPLLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEE SSSSTTTTTOOOOOPPPPP!!!!!

Almost on que, Lyinx jump off from out cart and ran towards the tanuki girl, pick her up on his shoulder, and ran back to our cart. He tosses her on the cart and soon after, jump from the side on our cart.

The tanuki girl was about 5'5ft tall wearing a dark green outfit underneath a full leather armor and have a few daggers on the side of her belt. On her back is a crossbow with a knife attach to the front wrap in a green cloth. She then turns her head towards Lyinx.

???: My hero :D

Again, almost on que, Lyinx karate chop her head. The tanuki girl grab her head and small tears began forming from her eyes.

???: OUCH. Brother that hurts, why are you mean?

Lyinx: How many times do I have to tell you Jackie, you have to wake up early. I almost chose to run back to the city just to get you, and we would have to run back to the MOVING cart just because you decided to sleep in. Aside from that, I'm glade you made it here somewhat on time.

Justino: did she miss roll call? I guess I better make sure she marks here or else the guild records will show that she abandons the quest.

Justino pulled out the parchment and made a few corrections then puts it away.

Location Campfire

Hello everyone, it has been a while. I'm sorry that I couldn't post anything in a while, so I hope you do forgive me. I was busy with doing last minute paper work for classes that I should have been doing over the course but was to lazy to do it until the last minute. So please forgive me. In the meantime, help yourselves to campfire snakes. Until then, take care.

As you look around, you couldn't find any food, and the blue cooler just have warm water inside of it. Possibly the remines of melted ice that was once in it ,and a note attach inside of the lid. The note said "Remember to buy more snakes and drinks Sincerely Myself".
