"Hum, what shall I do? If we think about future, It's the best way to get a ranger as a rearguard," Tina thought such things. The candidate was the following two person according to the list Max gaved.
The one is Ken'ichi, who is 7-leveled ranger and male elf. He has the good attribute and none of skills on spell.
Another is Angela, who is 10-leveled ranger and female human. She has the neutral attribute and skills of archemist's spells until 4th grade.
If thinking simply, it is proper choice to seek Angela, who has higher ability of the two. In addition to this, Angela is the cousin of Journey, who is one of the four braves. Her status will also attract other adventurers.
At that time, in the tavern came the ranger who is one of the two, Ken'ichi.
"Eh? Are you my brother, Judik?" Tina shouted out in bizarre voice, whichi are incongruous for her.
"No, My name is Ken'ichi, not Judik." answered the ranger.
"That can't be! It's me, Tina is my name," she said.
"What!?" He seems to be surprised.
"Do you remember me?" asked Tina.
"No. I'm afraid you have the wrong man." He left the tavern with lefting the word.
"Boo..." Tina mumbled.
After some time passed, it became around five o'clock. The sun was going to the under of the horizon, and they were also going to their own home. But a man was walking. It was Max, who expose his cheeks to the cold winter wind with thinking various things such as sleeping at the hotel or drinking.
"How we go again?" said Max to himself, "It was not bad to go with those fellows. Though they are yonger than I, they may have more experience of life than I. Now, I've got into trouble. I may challange to the mazes alone. Now I feel so regretful that I had to take Craf or Truza. What should I do?"
On the other hand, Ken'ichi come along the street.
"Tina, I almost remember that name..." said he to himself, and...
BANG!
Ken'ichi banged against Max.
"Oh, I'm very sorry! I was so dazed," said Ken'ichi.
"It's me too. Don't mind about it," answered Max.
"Thanks. By the way, you're also a traveler?" asked Ken'ichi.
"Yes," answered Max.
"If you don't mind, would you come with me?" asked Ken'ichi. Max have thought for a while and answered, "Yes, I will."
Max thought it was not bad deal of going with Ken'ichi. But the situation didn't go to better direction.
"Oh, you are gonna go to the enchanted places," said Max.
"Yes. I think exploring the rooms will be the main tasks there," said Ken'ichi.
"Hum, explorin' inside... how will it affect me?" said Max to himself, then told Ken'ichi the followong: "By the way, Where do you come? I came from the eastern country."
Ken'ichi answered, "I came from the nothern elven land."
They have talked with common things, and been naturally going to the direction of the Lulun's Tavern.
When they entered the Lulun's, they encountered Shota's party.
"I've seeked for you. We will go with Flash," Shota said to Max and pointed to Flash with his fingers. Then he added, "And, Tina tells us she wants to go with that man, Ken'ichi."
Max shouted out, "Just wait! We've already made a new party. So, you..."
"Shut up your mouth! Are you aware that you are too noisy?" A woman said so in rapid speech.
She has shortened blond hair and a bow in her hand. She also let the brown leather bag hanged on her shoulder.
"You...!" said Max so.
"What's matter? Tell me clearly if you have somthing to say," she said to Max.
"She must not remember me," said Max to himself, "Nothing. But why are you here?" this time to her.
"It's none of your business. By the way, You are so free with me, but I don't know you at all," said the woman and added,
"WHO ARE YOU?"
"You... REALLY don't remember me...?" said Max with groaning. Other persons around them found they have met once and she doesn't rember him, but didn't other things.
"Both of you should calm down. Max, it is correct what this woman told you. Now, shall we talk there with taking seats, sir?" Ebaist stopped their conversaiton. Then, Ebaist prepared the table for the parties and the woman so smoothly.
"It is one of my duties as the manservant of the god to patch quarrels," he said so.
"Then, why have you been so noisy?" She asked so, but Ebaist gave another question to her, "before Max answers, do we have your name, sir? We would not continue to make conversations without knowing your name."
"My name is Angela," answered the woman to Ebaist, "and you might find I am a ranger if you look me. Then, why have you been so noisy?" Max didn't answer, but Shota did, "Tina would want to go with Ken'ichi."
"I see. Tina, why would you go with him?" said Angela.
"Ken'ichi looks like my brother, and told me I've had the wrong man. But, I can't blieve it." answered Tina.
"How about you, Ken'ichi?" asked Angela.
"I don't have the family whose name is Tina. Before that, Each of Tina and I belongs to the different races. In addition, I consider it as unnatural that of the combination of the name of Tina and of Ken'ichi as the name of family," answered Ken'ichi.
"But, you were surprised when I told you my name!" said Tina. It was fact that Ken'ich made some response to the name of Tina, but only Tina remembers that. It is not enough to convince others.
"That's enough," said Angela, "it is important what Ken'ichi's thinks about this. You should go with Tina, or with this fellow..."
"Don't call me this fellow! I have the genuine name of Max!" shouted Max.
"What!? You may be... yeah, I finally rembered!" so did Angela.
"I've finally found what should I do," said Max.
"Why have you said so wacky thing?" asked Angela.
"As the first thing," Max said, "I wouldn't go with you any more. You are too noisy and fellows I have been with once are still pliter than you."
"Don't bother me! Say the conclusion first!" said Angela. It has bocome explosive situation, not easygoing situation any more.
"As the conclusion, I will go with Ken'ichi, and we join into the Shota's party because Tina wants him." said Max. And everyone in the Shota's party was so astonished that they shouted, "WHAT?"
Ebaist added, "I think that it is encouraging us that you offers to come with us. Then, Shota, how do you think about this, sir...Ah?" Others seems to be not only astonished but confused, so that their faces were that of puzzled.
"Just wait! You're too rude to me, aren't you?" said Angela, but Max ignored and said, "We had better leave here as soon, or this woman would do unexpectable things."
"Don't call me this woman! I have the genuine name of Angela!" shouted Angela.
"You did the same thing, didn't you? It became even." Max took Shota and his companies, with leaving Angela inside.
