Keji and Aika were sitting on a bench close by from where they were right now.

Aika was treating Keji's wounds by wrapping a bandage over the wound to add pressure to it so he wouldn’t lose any more blood.

“I’m almost done okay”

“Yeah, sorry for having you do this”

“No it’s okay were partners now also I was the one that shot you”

As Aika kept telling Keji how it was okay, he was looking at her he couldn’t see her good before due to them being at a good distance away from each other but he thought she was really attractive now that he could see her from up close

“Her short beautiful white hair, her outfit which was black pants, a white long sleeve with a black coat covering the white shirt, it all fit her perfectly”

“She’s pretty attractive for somebody as aggressive as her”

“There I’m done let’s start moving now”

“It’s already 11 pm so there should be more fights breaking out since more people are coming into this town looking for Katsuro due to someone supposedly seeing him here”

“So I guess someone saw me entering the town, I gotta be more careful,” thought Keji

“Don’t fall behind were going to a bar nearby to see if anyone knows or has seen anything related to Katsuro”

“What about you teaching me how to fight for myself?”

“It’s okay you’ll assist me when the time comes, you can also just copy my movements during battle”

“Do you know how teaching works?”

“Yes …., but stop asking questions if not you could find someone else to teach you”

“Fine I was just curious”

They both enter the bar and sit down at the bar counter

“What would you two like to drink?”

“I’ll just take a glass of water”

“I’ll take a glass of beer”

“Wait Aika how old are you?”

“Didn’t I say to stop asking questions”

“Oh yeah, I’m sorry”

“But to answer your question I’m 18”

“You’re younger than me by two and you can’t even drink beer, it illegal you know that”

“Remember we could break whatever law right now plus I just wanted to try it for once”

“Okay that’s enough those people at the table across us are talking about something to do with the coin event”

“Hey so did you hear that apparently Katsuro the one that is in possession of the coin is in town”

“Yeah, I just heard from someone”

“But did you hear the apparently some assains are also joining the event to try to get the inherit”

“You got to be kidding with that competition we won’t win”

“I know but at least we know who it is that is participating”

“Who?”

“It’s Minamoto Daichi”

“Wait Daichi as the one that was partners with Usui Aika”

“Yup, that one”

“Yeah, we’re gonna have competition, let’s just hope Aika isn’t participating in the event and if she is we just pray she doesn’t team up with Daichi”

“I doubt it, I had to pay for this information but apparently someone heard that Daichi was now solo after fighting with Aika”

“Apparently they had a fierce battle where they both left big injures on each other, but it was stopped by Aika grandfather who kicked Daichi out of his organization right after”

“Do you know why they fought?”

“Nope apparently no one knows besides them two”

While hearing this Keji glanced at Aika face quick and had seen a cold face expression as she was remembering something she didn’t want to

She looked as she regretted something, Keji wanted to ask her but didn’t want to pry into it if Aika wasn’t willing to talk about it

“Well then we just need them to fight again hopefully no one interferes so one of them can die and lower our competition”

Keji didn’t know Aika for too long but she knew Aika wasn’t a horrible person to get death threats, she let him go with her even though she could’ve killed him and left.

“Yes she robbed me but at the same time she let me train with her”

“I guess these things should be expected too, I mean my best friend tried killing me so I shouldn’t be surprised that people are wanting certain people to die”

“I can’t imagine how much people want to kill me for the coin I possess”

“I guess this coin event is showing people’s true color for money but at the same time I can’t talk since I’m the one that has it at the moment”

“Just 6 more days and everything will be back to normal, I hope it does”

These were the things Keji was thinking while still listening to them

“Yeah, I do hope they fight but let’s get going we need to look for Katsuro it’s 12 am now according to rumors he is trying to move in the night”

“How do they know I was trying to move in the night?” thought Keji

As they left Aika spoke up and looked at Keji with a cold expression still

“Can I trust you?”

“Wait Aika are you okay?”

“Answer the fucking question”

“Can I trust you or not”

“Yes you can”

“Okay thanks that’s all I had to hear”

“Let’s get going”
