Although the gladiator and the ronin were skilled opponents, both Titanica and Eilidh managed to defeat them. Regarding the other bandits, they weren't much of a threat as Bast and Vară easily dealt with them. After everything ended, George happily started to thank them and congratulate them by their victory. Despite his jokes and good mood, Bast's still didn't trust him. Something was happening and he would discover exactly what.

Bast himself would say something about his statement about a harem but he simply watched with a smile on his face as Titanica grabbed the man with her claws. Eilidh, even though she was adorable while blushing like that, was obviously upset about his statement as well. Not only that, but Eilidh had said something interesting... Something that Bast was already suspecting before...

[color=C6DEFF]"You have some explaining to do, mr. George..."[/color] Bast said, with a serious tone.

[color=C6DEFF]"And watch your tongue, Mr. George. Those aren't words one should say to a lady... Especially when said lady could easily kill him..."[/color] he continued.

[color=C6DEFF]"Now, leaving your rudeness aside... What exactly are you transporting? Surely you didn't expect me to believe that they are common trading goods when attacked by mercenaries this well equipped... It would be better for you to start speaking, George... It seems the girls are rather upset about what you said..."[/color] Bast said, carefully analyzing George's reactions.

Just like the weird couple said, when Freyr and the group arrived on the place where the competition would be held, a clear and wide open green pasture, they could see a some people wearing eastern garbs, which were certainly not common around those parts. Freyr himself was allowed to join. He did receive quite a fair share of weird stares though, but in the end he was permitted to join the competition.

Freyr didn't want to sound arrogant or anything, but he was very confident in his skills. But the real problem wasn't the competition itself... The problem was getting hold of some of those arrows. The previous plan was simple, they would simply grab some and take them, but that plan was quickly scrapped when the announcer said that they weren't allowed to take arrows with them at all. Words of Sir Saburo Fujikiyo himself, the master craftsman responsible for making the arrows.

[color=8dc73f]"Umm... It seems that it will be a bit harder than we previously thought..."[/color] Freyr said, looking to the group.

[color=8dc73f]"I don't know how the competition will work but if we are allowed to take more than one shot, I can purposely miss one, sending the arrow flying far away so one of you could fetch... What do you think?"[/color] Freyr asked, looking to them.
