[color=gold]"Well it appears this lady who seems to know everything can read me as clear as a book! Oh wait, she can't...I have no intention of gaining a harem of women. That would be disgraceful to the Duquois name and I'm ashamed that you would even suggest such an act. Gaining popularity among women is natural too for most men, well at least normal men. Maybe I detect a hint of jealousy from one who is underneath another's standards?"[/color]

Francis smirks at the girl who constantly questioned his authority. He merely thought of her as another pest who was trying to bother him. Besides, if she tried anything, his back-up plan was already set up plus there were the 10 followers he commanded and surely at least 3 of them should be more than enough to take care of her. 

[color=gold]"Anyone else wish to continue making bold statements against my words?"[/color]

[h3]Large Tree ---> Floor 1 Portal[/h3]

"Oh hello there! You must really enjoy climbing and running like me hehe...maybe we can go racing one time after we're done here. I'm just wrapping up."

Okami hops back down from the tree and waves again at the cat-like girl for enjoying the time up there. However, he did hear Lena and nods his head. Taking out the sword he found earlier, he notices Lupa standing still to be alert. 

"Here it is Lena. Nearly took off the head of a girl I met earlier hehe, she was pretty cool too. Her name is Faera and she seemed interested in joining our group. I can't wait for all of us to meet each other, I'm actually going to ask if you guys want to show up at my family's tavern for a celebration of sorts. That's why I kinda want to get out sooner than l...Lupa, is everything alright?"

Lupa doesn't seem to respond as she hurries off to the center of the place where the others were located. Okami sighs and waves at the Spirit and Lena as he hurries off as well, leaving Lena in the dust again. "Err...I'll be right back, if you want to come along, better hurry up!" The usual sprinter leaves another trail of dust for Lena to sprint after.

The sight Okami expected to see what...unexpected. The Summoners stepping on their own Spirits as if they're nothing...something seemed to trigger inside of him. Immediately the new adventurer struck if not pushed back those who were stepping on top of the Spirits, not hesitating for a moment. He soon assumes that the one who was simply standing on the butler was in charge of this fiasco and manages to jump up high enough to attempt an axe kick of sorts on noble. However, his foot went through as if it was a ghost and the illusion dissipates. 

Okami soon had Lupa next to him as he looked around to find the noble, both Material Form managing to form around his knuckle and boot and Lupa's Beast Form still out. "Where are you!? Who makes others step on their partners!? I may have wiped most of my energy, but I'm a runner, I'm made for constant fighting. Come out and s~." He was about to lose his head for a moment as a strange black knife came flying at him and if it wasn't for his evasiveness, he wouldn't have dodged it in time. "Whoa!" Okami was able to roll away and looks up to see the noble was back at the podium with his two servants at his side.

[i]What...kind of ability was that? And why the hell was this allowed?! Does no one care for their partners?![/i]

"Scum...you're flat out scum! Even worse than the bugs at Ad Vitam, and I clean that place every day. Spirits are our partners, our family, and you lot just step on them! As if, step on me too then why don't you try?! And Samuel, why are you up there? You actually want to support this guy!? Thought you were a part of our group...if you really do support him Samuel, I'm sorry but that's a jerk move, and I hate...absolutely hate people that just go against us for a bad cause."

[color=gold]"An ant trying to go against a boot...for some reason you seem familiar, but you will not be too much of a problem. If any of you still wish to go against me, such as that idiot and his dog, you will be an enemy...then again, those who are still not with me, are against me as well. Unless you are able to announce to my family that you are on common ground with them, then you will always be against me by not joining me. And you, the one that boy calls Samuel...are you really a part of his group? Tell me how pathetic that kid is, I really wish to know. All I see is someone who can kick and run like the dog he has under his command."[/color]
