“I don’t think this is a good idea.”
“Hold on!”
“She’s already done a request for Magnolia this week. By rights, that means I should have a turn. Claudeil will do my run, right?”
“Well, I was doing that delivery to Remendia, but once one of my friends let me know Magnolia’s request was sitting in the Runner’s guild, of course I came back to fulfill it.”
“There’s no need to give Magnolia’s request to her. I’ve just arrived, and I can take care of it myself.”
“That’s not fair. You’ve already done a request. I deserve it! Claudeil and Toriska are both with me—they both deserve chances too!”
“I can.”
“To what?”
“Yes!”
“So? Claudeil is!”
“You’ll regret this.”
“Yes, but I’m sure she’ll switch with me, won’t you, Ryoka?”
“So? I can make it.”
“I can easily do Magnolia’s request. Ryoka can just switch with me.”
“So?”
“Monster!”
“Ah! You’re rabid, Ryoka! Did you see that? She attacked me for no reason!”
“Oh, Ryoka? I didn’t see you there. Fancy meeting you in this inn. How are you doing?”
“I don’t understand what you mean, Garia. I’m just saying hi to Ryoka, who’s had a little accident. Can’t you understand that? Or are things going too fast for you to keep up with?”
“You—”
“Going to take a swing, Ryoka? Go ahead. Toriska—Toriska.”
“But as a fellow City Runner, I want to let Ryoka know how terribly sorry I am that she got in the way of that runaway cart. If only she’d listened to her fellow runners. We were all trying to warn her, you know. But that’s Ryoka for you. She just doesn’t listen now, does she?”
“Strange friends you have, Ryoka.”
“I don’t need to do anything. You’re going to die in the High Passes.”
“Why do you think none of the experienced Runners take those kinds of requests? We’re smart enough not to risk our lives. We work together, not like you. You’ll die alone because you’re a fool.”
“This is Arnel. He’s a Bronze-ranked adventurer in Celum.”
“So sorry to interrupt your conversation. Were you talking about me by any chance?”
“That’s not very nice. I’d hate to think you were talking behind my back, Ryoka.”
“Ryoka, Garia! I’m so glad you’re okay! I almost didn’t spot you, but then I saw Garia—she’s impossible to miss even in this crowd—and I decided to say hi!”
“Arnel’s an adventurer. He’s fought monsters and slain countless Goblins. You don’t have that oaf of a Minotaur and that freak half-Elf to protect you now, Ryoka.”
“Is that a threat?”
“Hey, Claudeil? Shut up.”
“What if I want to stay? I’ve a right to sit in this inn, same as you.”
“Kill her! Kill her before she shouts our names to—”
“Kill her! Toriska, kill her!”
“Shoot again! Shoot again!”
“Don’t say my name! If she lives, she’ll tell them. They’ll hang us—we’ll be wanted, you fool! Shoot her! Toriska, get her and we can go!”
“Ryoka! Come back and die!”
“Toriska, flank her! Claudeil—”
“She’s going to get away unless we go. And if she says we tried to kill her, Magnolia Reinhart will murder us in our beds. Come on.”
“We’ll lose them! Just shoot Ryoka already!”
“You idiot! You missed!”
“Toriska, run left. Distract her.”
“Dibs on that wand. Something wrong with your leg, Ryoka?”
“Give me that crossbow, Claudeil. She can’t run any more.”
“Those [Merchants] can’t do anything. Even if they claim we were here—they have no proof. Not even Lady Reinhart can get us. I have powerful friends.”
“Got you.”
“I trust you. Let’s do it. On three.”
“Run! Run!”
“We can’t! I’m not that fast—we’ll die.”
“This is her fault. Not mine. Sorry, Claudeil—”
“We’re dead. She’s killed us. That maniac.”
“We have to kill her. She’s going into the Bloodfields. Toriska can’t catch Ryoka. See? She’s already falling behind now that her Skill’s done. But three of us can get her.”
“Not in the Bloodfields. See? No one’s going after Toriska. They’re afraid. But the Bloodfields aren’t moving. Come on.”
“If you run, I’ll make sure you die if it’s the last thing I do. Ryoka’s taken everything from me. This is all her fault. Fals, my City Runner rank…we’re going in there.”
