As the scene unfolded before the group's eyes, Reynard took note that a normal conversation was not going to result, and instead walked over to the map Carver had laid out, inspecting it himself. A pause in this conversation would occur with their client Carver nervously trying to hand Gwendolyn back her clothes. The map from what he understood was plans for the places Carver wished to visit and access, he had some ideas what it all meant, but he was sadly not too familiar with these areas indicated on the map. The rest of the scene with the floundering Carver was but background noise to him as he involved himself with his own thing... Though eventually, his voice would cut through the atmosphere and bring attention back,

"It appears you've made a map for your journey, along with some of your own notes. Would you care to explain it to us? Preferably before you decide to turn into a blithering mess again", his tone was cold and almost reprimanding. His eyes turned to the rest of the guild as he stood around the table with the map, a sort of signal for them to gather round as hopefully Carver would too and explain to them what their job entails.

The day would continue on with chatting in such a way. "Oh, no what's LINE?" she would say answer Otis, "ah, souvenirs and takoyaki sounds nice! I haven't tried those before", which was almost a surprise to hear, considering their accessibility, and "well let's see...", she pondered... What stories did she have? Seirin seemed to really be enjoying herself as they went around Kiyomizu-dera.

The summer heat of Kyoto proved to be a bit much for Asta, Rodrick, and even Helena who hailed from the warmer regions of Arcanis. For the time being they found themselves resting at some benches along a lonely path around the shrine.

"I suppose this would be a good time to get food and eat, I am also becoming a bit tired and hungry, perhaps we could have that 'takoyaki' you mentioned?" she asked, hands clasped together as she looked up hopefully at the group. Seirin seemed to have stars in her eyes when they were described to her before, so her eagerness was noted. There was a stall somewhere just a stone's throw outside the entrance to the shrine, the total trip back and forth would be only around twenty or thirty minutes. Not all of them had to go, maybe 2 of them to have enough hands to carry the bags if they were intended to get some for everyone.

"Please... Bring drinks too...", Asta appeared to be suffering a little. Duly noted one might say.

In not long the young girl of supposedly high class found herself having her hair style being altered. Before long her hair was not tied into a pony tail, peeking out from behind her messenger hat. She thanked Lorelai briefly, but before she could pipe up about more on history she was interrupted by Otis, who seemed to repeat some of the same questions. She seemed to freeze for a moment, but as soon as anyone tried to get a reaction from her she managed to respond. It appeared as if she was just processing it.

"Classified information, they're trying to prevent me from being in trouble, not that I'm aware of, I am allowed an allowance for personal spending, yes I do there are many lovely places in Kyoto, and that was for my duty... Hm? How do you know about that? Ah... That makes sense, you all are from Arcanis after all you must've been there. Why else would you be in Kyoto", she clapped her hands together in revelation. So these people were also from the conference? What a coincidence. Though she answered the questions like that, she was told earlier this morning her life was in danger... Due to her status and what she was, this was one of her only opportunities to explore Kyoto without an entourage.

"Hm, well, in such a case I can show you around to some of the trails around this shrine. There are some sitting areas along the routes if you have packed food", she suggested.

The fine young lady seemed a little surprised and taken aback at first. The blank yet inquisitive stare of the young boy introducing himself as Otis was a fair bit surprising. Just as soon, the other two made a bit more space and introduced themselves as well. Arcanis they said... Normally people may not know where that was or what it was, the existence of Arcanis was still largely a secret after all. Still, it seemed that Seirin was not unfamiliar with those words. The other two in the group Rodrick and Helena piped up too,

"I am Rodrick, and this is Helena, we too are from Arcanis... Hmph, I understand those sentiments, many young nobles I knew in my childhood dealt with such constraints",

"Mhm, and you were always caught by them. Are you jealous of our new friend's skills of stealth?", Rodrick shot a glare at Helena and the two began to bicker amongst themselves.

As she was given her breathing space, her face of surprise changed to an elegant yet jolly laugh, her hand by her mouth with a look of genuine enjoyment.

"Of course! I'd be happy to", she responded. She pursed her fingers together, her voice soft and almost like a little rabbit with the way she spoke, "I surely hope we can be friends for longer than a day, and Arcanis... Hm, I had heard of that before but I've never been there. The stories I have heard and read from that place seem quite delightful! There was one about a famed Arcture General who fought the Kingdom of the Northern Seas during a naval campaign, known for the red lightning that he wielded they called him the Lightning Count, and his incredible prowess in battle and tactics led to a sound victory.... Ahhhh I do love tales of battle and war...! My home's stories are just as amazing, but what historic battle in Japan has an army of dragons?... Oh!", throughout the little tirade, she seemed to have gone into her own little world, placing her hands on her face and closing her eyes in delight, but as soon as she realized her own habit, she turned back to the group.

"I'm so sorry, when I get talking I... Don't seem to know how to stop. For much of my duties required as little of it as possible", Seirin seemed to have calmed down a little bit as she handed the stage over to the group.

Reynard nodded in understanding, Torys seemed a little disinterested as she told them to not make the guild look bad, you would think something like that is a point of proper consideration, but either she was really self-assured or was full of apathy.

"That goes without saying...", he responded, turning back to the group.

"I suppose an introduction is necessary. I am Reynard Faust", his eyes focused on Jessica as he introduced himself, then his eyes went down towards her sword, strapped to her hip. Interesting. He couldn't help but rest his chin on his fingers as if he was thinking. He wondered what kind of origin and properties such a weapon might have... He had thought the unknown properties of his Mikazuki was curious, but something like this...

"Hmmm... I suppose now is not the time for this...", he muttered under his voice, before turning his head back up to the group. "Very well, we shall go to the museum right now. No detours", was he a fun guy? Probably not. So they were to go straight to the museum.

Quite a crowd had formed around Reynard, some seemed to be interested in the job, others just had business with those present around him. Reynard pressed his fingers against his forehead and groaned in slight annoyance. Aside from Gwendolyn who introduced herself as a Gospel, a clan of demon hunters he'd been tracking down for his own reasons, the other two interested him none. The one who introduced herself as Jessica and her talking sword also was an entirely different curiosity. He turned to the small group that had gathered.

"You all will take your trifles elsewhere. If all you are here for is idle chatter then there are better places for that", his cold glare cut an icy slice right down through the atmosphere.

"Now if you will excuse me, I need to sign up for this job request", he turned back to the counter and placed the job request in front for it to be taken and accepted. He would prefer to take this job alone, but his hand stammered a little bit as he slid the paper up. He glanced to his side once before turning back to the man behind the counter... This was also an escort mission.

"Jessica and Gwendolyn was it? You two wish to be part of this do you not? Then you are welcome...", Reynard almost appeared to be biting something back.

"And you... I don't have your name, but if you were just here for a chat then you may leave", he presented Asher with an opportunity to express any interest he may have had. Still... If there were more hands to protect their quarry, then he would have more opportunities to study wherever it was they were going. At least that was Reynard's reasoning. Otherwise, he would double down on going alone.

Being a tourist spot, it was expectedly lively and crowded. Recognizing people from their class, Ultana and Lorelai were first to group together, then came Asta, Helena, then soon Otis was actually dragged into the group almost involuntarily. Rodrick also showed up, it seems he and Helena were to meet here with other classmates but they misinterpreted their relationship as romantic, and tried to set them up alone.

The view from the Kiyomizu Shrine was excellent, spanning over a large forest as they stood on essentially a gigantic balcony. The lush greenery below contrasted with the brilliant blue sky created a pleasant summer scenery with the buzz of cicadas in the background.

“Hm, the air out here is excellent. Compared to the smell of the sea in Seidoujima, the lush forest is more familiar to me”, Rodrick seemed to be enjoying himself, all things considered.

“I wonder if there’s a spot where I could set up tea…”, Helena pondered while looking around, but based on her expression it appears she was a little disheartened to get such a spot in the immediate area. Meanwhile a little behind her, Asta was waving a fan almost frantically standing beside Ultana. It seems she was not used to the heat, though considering her country of origin it was not a big surprise.

It was an eventuality that they grabbed drinks from a vending machine on the premises and found a place to relax and take photos. It wasn’t uncommon that they got tourists to ask them to help take their photos too. The atmosphere overall was rather nice, and the souvenirs offered a little something to remember the experience by.

As the group moved along the temple, they bumped into a young girl, she crashed into the group and proceeded to try to hide between them.

“S-sorry! Just… Please pretend I’m with you guys for a bit…!”, her hair was long, dark, topped by a brown messenger hat, wearing a denim pleated skirt with suspenders over a fluffy white blouse. Up ahead, the group could see a few people moving around as if they were looking for someone, after maybe a dozen seconds, they were gone. Peeking out from the group, the girl saw that the coast was clear.

“Ahhhh, thank you! It’s so hard to have fun if I’m being babysat like that… Oh! I’m so sorry to intrude! I am Kaganomiya Seirin! I uh, hope I had not been intruding. I-if that was the case, then I can just go…”, the way she spoke was overly formal, suggesting she was from a well-to-do family. Was it possible the people looking for her were just her bodyguards…? In any case… Those who had good eyes like Otis would recognize her. She was the girl at the conference yesterday on the stage, sitting there like decoration. That day though, she was too far away to see her fair features in proper unless you had eyes like a bird of prey.

With the festivities, the job board looked a bit fuller than normal. After all, who wanted to be out doing a job when they could be out and about, enjoying themselves in an annual celebration. Far as he knew it was just an overblown birthday, though some may not want to hear that at all. Loud and rowdy events were not his kind of thing though, so perhaps while everything was going in that direction, he'd occupy himself with a bit of work. Rather nostalgic standing here to take a sheet of paper off of a crusty wooden board... Though this board was not as crusty. He hadn't taken a job as a guild mage for many years by now, and to think he would start again.

"Scholarly Assistance, hmmm...", the mention of ruins and artifacts interested him. It was a job within his rank. An A rank, based on the assessment he had to do prior to joining. He wasn't sure if the guild was thrilled to have a strong new member, or were pervasive to suddenly have some kind of competition or threat to their own claims to glory. It didn't matter to him, but overall it seemed rather positive.

"Escort...", he sighed as he read that over. He was not one for an escort mission... Yet, he had keen interest for everything else associated with it. He pressed his fingers on his forehead for a moment, then decided then and there, perhaps he will take it.

"There is nothing else to do these days anyways... I suppose it can't be that bad", he surmised, turning and moving towards the counter to get the job approved, holding the sheet in his hand.

Morning




Utsumi emerged from the front doors of the traditional Japanese inn with what appeared to be some paperwork, reading as he stepped outside. He was not accompanied by anyone, from today on was the student's responsibility. Some brushed past him wanting to go sightseeing, which was perfectly within their rights, however he was concerned that they chose to do that on the first day. One of the requirements was to visit any of the prior places, or to be doing in-field research, as they called it. Any form of productive sightseeing, so to speak, one that would further one's own abilities, even if it was just going around and documenting the shrines.

"Well, I don't have to worry about those who are at Eiseikato... And, I expected a few here to be a bit out of focus but they'd already headed out with purpose. I suppose I've been too judgemental of some of my own students... Ahh, that's no good Utsumi, an accurate assessment is what you always aim for, it's not good to be thinking that way", he mumbled to himself.

"Talking to yourself again I see", the bespectacled teacher turned around and standing there was Kuuto, he had his coat worn, rather than hanging off his shoulders.

"My my, I thought you were just going to be here as a teacher, but it seems there were other matters weren't there?"

"Murder case, due to the nature of it I was put on as it's prosecutor, curse that Motsumine... He knew something was up in this city", Kuuto didn't seem too happy about it... Was it possible he really just wanted to relax? Utsumi adjusted his glasses.

"Well, given how Eiseikato is here too, it may not be a coincidence. It often avoids Kyoto unless a big event is meant to occur. Too many exorcists living here, too big a risk to visit just because they wanted to", Kuuto just sighed and walked past Utsumi.

"I'll be back before dinner, send out your little bird scouts and tell me what you can learn about the city",

"Alright, well then, have a good day at work", and with that Kuuto left.

"Now then... I suppose that would be wise, I do want to keep an eye on the students too afterall", he clicked his fingers and with that, a flock of blue glowing birds burst from him, before disappear amidst the great blue sky.
