Nice. Good luck and stay safe for the journey, man.

Yang Bethlehem

A quick word brought her attention away from the Ushi-Oni and onto sir Nero, which had her quickly move up as she waved towards him.

"Oh, sir Nero?! Fancy seeing you here." She smiled and bowed to him, his later comment of not seeing them as threats set a little tic on her eyebrow.

Grinning, she tilted her neck at that. "That's quite the claim, sir Nero."

Looking at Ushi-Oni, she was unusually calm. That alone unnerved her to a degree but seeing a quick glance from the Ushi-Oni to Nero, had her smile a bit.

"Your neighbor likes you." Yang quietly said to him as she took her place, inspecting and checking what ingredients available to her.

Hmm, for such a day, noodles would be good. Yang set out for preparing the needed amount and what kind of good noodles she can make.

Seeing the other contestant, aside from Nero and the Ushi-Oni, the other one that seemed to be a bird monster girl. The choice of clothes piques her interest, she had only seen that with some noble servants but never up close before.

Yang waved at her briefly with a smile, she seems nice.

"Hah, bring it, old man!" Yang wagged two of her fingers towards Nero, her competitive streak within stoked.

Alright, let's do this! She quickly slapped both hands together and settled on her menu.

Ramen!

Ditzy Stoneclub

Making his way, he looked back and forth, slowly pushing his way towards the crowd. Once forward of the crowd, he saw a knight encouraging and gesturing with his hands to everyone.

Seeing a Minotaur, Ditzy was reminded of Magnus. Though she wasn't as big as he was. She looked strong enough to play with him and that brought a smile to him.

The next one looks like a cat monster girl, though her claws were much longer alongside with stripes. Somehow, she reminded him of that Yang. The way they stand, feel and smell similar. Lastly, was a Kee-Kee-morah? He hadn't known them for being strong.

Ah well.

when the knight spotted him, he was quick to turn his attention to him and asked if he's willing to try his strength.

"Okay!" Ditzy said excitedly and stepped forward into view, unbeknownst to him, he was now the center of attention as people saw Ditzy. His disposition of looking like a tall goblin if not for the mismatched horns that are characteristic of a Hobgoblin.

Some of the more observant people will note that despite the female goblin clothes he wore, he was undoubtedly a male monster.

Ditzy didn't care as he quickly joined the ranks of the other monster girl, greeting them enthusiastically despite them being his competitors.

"Hello, I'm Ditzy! Let's have lots of fun!" He offered a hand for them to shake, excited to make new friends that he can play with.
Make sense, my job been giving me irregular off days as well.

Anyways, I just posted.

Yang Bethlehem

"Aren't you quite the flatterer?" She chuckled as she placed her hands at the sides of her hips and puffed her chest outwards.

As they progressed to the port, Yang smiled at the air of festivity. It felt familiar to her as both human and monster girls intermingle with one another, no discourse or tension, simply here to enjoy themselves.

When a familiar voice called out to them, Yang turned and greeted Rinas with a bow. Though it seemed the dark priest is having a tough time even as a smile graced her face.

A quick breakdown of the events, Yang pondered on which event to take part. It doesn't seem like there was a martial arts competition and the strength competition simply doesn't appeal to her.

Then, Neil did something daring as he wanted to assist Rinas and in a forward manner of request too! That boy grew up so quick, she smiled at that.

Seeing how the Altissima sister followed up by one of her other halves made it even funnier as she giggled at that. A mischievous moment occurred as she was tempted to join in but Neil probably has his hands full in that.

"Hmm, cooking competition huh?" Yang looked at that as it tickles her interest. She wasn't exactly a gourmet chef but she wasn't a novice either. After all, she had taken turns to cook for the hundreds of pupils for the temple.

@PaulHaynek

Well, even if I'm terrible, I can't be that bad right?

"Alright, I'll take up the cooking challenge. You kids have some fun, alright?" Yang eagerly said and pat the head of Ozzy, Haley, Ada.

Heading for the area, Yang cracked her fingers and neck. It was time to show the world White Tiger vegetarian meal!

Once she was there, Yang spotted some of the competition, one seemed dressed impeccably and had an aura of grace. The other took her aback when she recognized it.

"An Ushi-Oni?!" Her mouth open and pulled herself back involuntarily to a low fighting stance when she laid eyes on her.

They're supposedly very aggressive and primal, the few encounters she had was often them pursuing her master relentlessly. Seeing one here so far from home, and in a cooking competition of all things jolted her fighting instinct despite the cheery environment they're in.

Ditzy Stoneclub

After getting the new person into the guild, Ditzy and the rest trekked towards the port. Ditzy often darting in head and stumbling a few times, even falling flat but continued on unheedingly.

Once there, Ditzy took the sights and sound. There were so many things happening at once that he took a while to process everything. When the dark priest came to explain what activity was happening, Ditzy took an interest in the strength competition.

"Ditzy's strong! Ditzy gonna go and beat lever up so hard that bell and tower breaks!" Ditzy smiled eagerly and ran off to where it was situated, eager to beat Lever down to the ground.

Arriving at the area, he looked back and forth as he saw a knight, a minotaur, a cat lady, and a lady in a maid outfit. Though the plumes on her hands and tail reminded ditzy of a bird.

Grinning and approaching the contestants, looking like a tall goblin with his getup for others that saw him. He briefly looked at the Jinko as her presence reminded him of that Yang.

"Hello! I'm Ditzy." He waved at all of them. "So who's Lever? Ditzy heard you need to beat Lever up to show they're the strongest."

Hey guys, I'm gonna delay the update because I need time to prepare the festival event.

Speaking of the festival, what kind of contests do you guys want to see there?


Maybe go for local/culture competitions unique to the place, I can definitely see swimming and sailing being a staple. A unique combination of both human and maybe some monster-girl related activities as well? You could also consider a separate category for them or an open competition.

Simple ones for children, then some strength ones like lifting weights/wrestling/pull ropes/etcetc.

Do what you think is interesting or fun.

Yang Bethlehem

She kept a safe distance from the knight, not really joining the conversation. Her eyebrows did rose when she heard about him coming from a region that clashed with the Order, alongside him meeting the undead horde and leading it away.

That didn't sound like what those Varjo knights would do. Though then again, he could easily lie about it. She kept that thought to herself and only nodded politely at that.

Hearing her comment about her did make her twitch in annoyance and stung her slightly. She supposed the past few week events had left her wary of knights and such.

"Hmm." Yang kept an impassive face nonetheless, embarrassing at it is, she rather be looked upon as rude rather than letting anything untoward happen.

It took awhile but when Guildmaster Bart arrived, Yang noted that Neil was also with him.

Small steps. Yang quickly greeted Bart in respect with a hand over fist and head bowed to him.

Hearing the decision of both Bart and Neil, Yang relaxed slightly. If he was willing to at least accept, then perhaps this sir Reed wasn't so bad?

"If Guildmaster Bart and sir Neil has no issue, then I too have not." Yang said before turning to Reed, and bowed her head down to him. "I apologize for my demeanor, Sir Reed. Certain events has left me...wary of knights."

"I judge you too hastily and was rude in my conduct. Hence, allow me to reintroduce myself and start over, Sir Reed." Yang lifted her head and in a much softer tone, spoke to him with a hand over her chest. "I'm Yang Bethlehem, a disciple of White Tiger temple and a member of The Guild."

"Welcome to the Guild." Yang grinned with a warm smile and pointed a thumb back to the guild as she discarded the formal stance and poise she had.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy followed the knight and looked at the knight, it seemed like the latter didn't even notice or register him.

Then again, from his perspective, he looks like a taller goblin instead of a hobgoblin. The only telltale sign he was a hobgoblin was the mismatched and bigger than usual horns on the top of his head.

Sticking to the back of Freyr, he saw the nice lady seemed a little cold to the new friend.

Ditzy smelled him, wondering if he was off.

When Sir Reed asked of him on Yang being this cold, Ditzy smiled in turn and answered him.

"Nope! She smiles a lot!" Ditzy pushed his lips upwards to resemble a smile, much to Yang chagrin.

When Bart and Neil came out, discussing that he should involve others in deciding others join.

Ditzy gave a deep and studious glance to Sir Reed, a moment passed before Ditzy smiled.

"Ok!" Ditzy gave his thoughts on Reed joining the guild, he didn't seem like a bad person. Waving his hand to him as he probably can get another new playmate. "He can play with us!"

Yang Bethlehem

@ShwiggityShwah

As the group went to sleep, Yang halted Ozzy for a brief period.

"Since tomorrow we're going to play. There won't be any morning training, take it as a chance to also rest your body and mind too." She said before patting his head and nudged him gently. "Sleep well."

With that, everyone went to bed for a good rest. The night passing wistfully.

However, just before dawn broke, Yang woke up automatically, dress herself up and went outside. Sighting a few trees that are large enough for her purpose, she walked up towards, took a stance and raised her fist.

Despite her words to Ozzy to take it easy, It was a different story for her. Ozzy had yet to truly even take a step, an apt comparison would be she was just learning to stand upright.

But as the top student of White Tiger temple, and possible successor?

There was no such thing as stopping.

A simple twist of her hips and toes, her fist snapped forward and the impact rang across the tree. Loose leaves fell from it, showering everything underneath it.

Yang sprung into action, every leaf that fell close enough to her was obliterated as both fists and kicks cut through the air. It was a flurry of explosive and graceful movement as Yang didn't move from her spot while striking every leaf that came into her range.

A moment passed as the leaves finally stop coming down, she then struck the tree base again and shot right back into action. Doing partial, technique, and speed practice all in one.

This went on until dawn finally broke and Yang could see her surroundings clearly. All around her were discarded leaves and a perfect circle devoid of the former with Yang at the center. Letting a relief sigh, she headed inwards for a morning bath.

Once done, Yang saw others awake like the Altissima sisters and Kira. Giving a wave and greeting to them, she partakes in nothing but bread and water.

Then when the sounds of horse hoof and neighs, curiosity piqued in her and she followed Kira to see what was outside.

When she saw a knight, immediately, her hackles rose and schooled a passive face as best as she can. Thoughts wondering what a knight is doing here and the lack of the Varjo sigil just made her more suspicious.

I'll keep an eye out for this one. Yang bowed her head in greeting at the knight even as he requested if he can join their guild. "It shall be up to Guildmaster Bart to consider thy request, sir knight."

@Rezod92

"Kira, would you go and get Guildmaster Bart? I shall keep our guest...entertain." Yang said sweetly to Kira before winking one of her eyes. Whether or not Kira gets the right message, Yang will be insistent on standing by here in case the knight decides to do something.

Ditzy Stoneclub

Finishing his dinner and heading to bed, Ditzy was so excited that it felt like he wouldn't go to bed until that passed and straight into sleep.

Waking up, Ditzy nearly shot up from his bed and headed to clean himself at a fast pace. Taking a few tumbles and flat faces but that didn't stop him at all as he headed down straight away the moment he was cleaned.

"All done! Let's go play!" Ditzy shouted loudly as he raised both hands to the top, not even bothering to eat breakfast or read the mood until he saw the knight outside.

"Oh, who's that?" He tilted his head to the side as he walked forward and stopped just at the door. "You wanna come and play with us?"
Sorry all for the late and short reply, this week been busy for me (I know, despite the corona-virus around, there's so many things to sort back out when returning for work.)

Yang Bethlehem & Ditzy Stoneclub

Taking and finishing her bath refreshed her tremendously as they stepped out of place. Yang feeling much better and Ditzy moved with a skip in his steps.

When Yang heard the alteration between Bart and the group again, she let out a silent sigh with her shoulders drooping down.

"This is perhaps partly my fault, I didn't have the opportunity to explain to everyone." Yang finally said as she quickly tried to keep everyone up to date. "Guildmaster Bart, while he doesn't support Varjo, also needs to put the guild well-being into mind. Us aligning or doing too much to stand out will eventually have Varjo catching wind of our guild name."

"He means well, and to an extent, would prefer us to be united as one together. We have neither the resource, numbers and alliesto stand against them alone." Yang explained it as simple as she can to them, reaching forward and patting Ada head gently to reassure her. The latter who seemed to be confused on the sudden change of atmosphere and lingering tension. "Until then, let's not catch Varjo attention until the time is right.

When Ozzy and Haley changed the subject, Yang was more than happy to contribute as she waved the flyer to them.

"Yup, heard it's gonna be fun from Rinas. Besides, it's been awhile since we all unwind ourselves." Yang sunny smile came as she ushered everyone to their seats for dinner. "Come on, let's get some dinner."

"Okay!" Ditzy joined in as he was thrilled to hear that they're going for a trip. He love trips, they're always so fun and he can meet new friends!

"Ditzy been working every day, now Ditzy can get a day to play!"
Sorry all for the late delay.
