New Training Method

When one thinks Soujirou Seta what do they think? No, not Kenshin, but very close! The Samurai that always trains. Hup hup hup! Across Alne there is the kimono wearing warrior that is running at a steady pace with something in his arms. Rather. Someone in his arms. A Lander woman is being princess carried by Souji down the streets. Does she think well of this? Yes. Does Souji? Lets take a peak into his brain to find out: "This is great speed training and practical if we had to do a rescue action!" In short no. His harem grows, as does the frustration of the members.

Aaah, tea. Not quite as fantastic as what Tae had been brewing fresh for her, but it was still more than pleasant enough. Better than that coffea she keeps seeing. She's an alchemist and even she can't quite figure out why people are so eager to drink that. Oh well. That's their choice, and choice is good to have even if you think it's a poor one.

Daiyu sat back to sip her tea. Then paused, peering over the cup as a man jogged along with a woman in his arms. Leaned over a little to look down the street. No monster seen to be chasing them.

Shrugged, sat back and resumed tea sipping. Yamatoans were a weird bunch, but she was slowly getting use to it now that she didn't have some nagging whispers in the back of her head insisting they were horrible people needing to be enslaved or die repeatedly.

Hup Hup Hup. Souji gets the Lander woman to a spot just outside of Alne and... what is going on here?! There is a line forming like this is an amusement park ride. Someone has even gone as far as selling snacks along the line and another person selling tickets to get to the front. The person in front is blushing so fiercely she might just pass out, which works for Souji! "I'll take you to the doctor!" Faint. Wait, is Souji a taxi service now? Lander Lady don't care. She gets whisked off and hup hup hup away Souji goes.

And now he's coming back. Carrying... a different woman, Daiyu determines after a brief squint. Okay, now her curiousity is getting the better of her. She rises from her seat, tails curling off to one side to not be in the way, and she steps out just enough to be in view as the samurai is jogging up. "Excuse me, sir. But I simply must ask what it is you are doing with this... transpositioning of different ladies across the town."

Miho is once again dealing with a delivery and she pause at the strange sight for a moment. "That's something I would like to know too." Notes the tiny Samurai Weapon's smith as she peers at Souji and passenger.

"So just what are you doing my dear Samurai?"

She also grins at the Lander whose getting a lift.

"Good day to you as well."

She looks over to Daiyu for a moment "Hello there!"

Soujiro Seta's current lady friend is passed out, or pretending to be, as she gets carried to a doctor's office. He is already back for another when he looks to Miho and Daiyu's questions. This, notably, makes the person at the head of the line as angry as an idol fan that paid SO MANY TICKETS for a handshake and is being delayed the gratification. "Training!" he responds simply to Daiyu. Thats all there is to it. "It is getting to be a bit too easy now, though, I need someone to throw projectiles in my direction to avoid." The lady stops fussing now. Until. Sparkles. "I wouldn't let a single one harm you, even if it meant I had to take the blow myself." Gasp! Faint. Souji scoops her up.

Alne has always been an ideal place to shop for supplies from all over Yamato. All of the stores here, the city's location and the amount of Landers and Adventurers alike keep it a frequent center of commerce. Then again, this amount of people can lead to some interesting things going on...

The Pooka knight comes out of a small store selling natural materials and blinks as he stares at the line and commotion. "Training...?" Training to improve yourself is perfectly fine and all, but he never seen people form a line to be used for training. "Maybe if blunted arrows was used...accidents do happen after all." Though seeing a Lander woman faint almost has Curtana step forward to help, but Soujiro already beat him there.

"... Training?" Daiyu questions for a moment. Then... oh. Because he's carrying... oh, she probably shouldn't say that, especially with so many young women nearby, but she thinks she gets it now. "It is certainly an... unorthadox method, yes." Considers. Then someone else chips in a suggestion. "Yes, soft or blunt projectiles would be the safest. Enough to imply the need to dodge or intercept without actually taking harm."

Her attention shifts, tilting her head a little to look down to the shorter salamander woman. "Hello to you too."

So far, no one has freaked out at seeing her here. Granted, she hasn't come across anyone she's actually faught against, either. So we will count our blessings for as long as possible.

Miho says "Well Miss he's not fibbing you there, he is a very good defender."

Tail swish she looks over to Curtana for a moment.

"Or just throw stones lightly then again...I would put a bit too much oomph into it." Yes Miho is is now the stort of strong you might see in a Shounin series during it's back half. She waves to Curtana.

"Name's Miho!"

"Join me," Soujiro offers Curtana as he holds the fainted Lander Lady in his arms. There is the whole 'wounded muse' of Greco Roman draping with one arm extended over from her. She paid top dollar to be in the front of that line and she is going to get the full experience. Doki Doki. "Miho can rate us on speed, safety, and form," beams the Samurai. Looking down at the Lander in his arms, "And our most precious ones can rate us on the experience." Its interesting that Souji isn't freaking out over Daiyu being there given his rather 'ruthless killswitch' with enemies. Its a good indicator of friend zone! "And you have the gleam of wisdom and intelligence in your eyes that would devise some ways to add in fair difficulty, as if we had to do an escort out of a perilous area." He smiles to Miho at the compliment. Souji is good at what he does because he is always training and keeping close to his heart the people he is protecting. Swwooorrrdd Saaaiiinnntt.

"I see..." Daiyu just accepts this as something being done and doesn't dwell on the matter. Training is training, and to some people that's all that matters. Do it and get results. Don't and fall behind.

She finishes her tea and sets the cup down, then steps aside as she draws and opens her parasol. Rests it on her shoulder. The weaponsmith might notice the handle looks more like the hilt of a sword than a grip, but Daiyu makes no motion to draw it. Or even grip said hilt, her hands are firmly on the actual shaft. "I shall stand over here so I don't... frustrate your accomplices with more questions and delays." Or just by looking good.

Its true. The line is giving tons of shade towards Daiyu. How does /she/ get to talk to Lord Seta? What does she have that they dont? A tail that the wise wolf Holo would admit is good? Ok. Refinement? Tea? Its the tea! The tea market is about to crash for the second time in Souji's Tea Party history. What does Souji think about this?

:D "Okay."

With that, Souji is off. He may not be dumb, but that innocent streak isn't much better.

Curtana nods and points a finger towards Miho in agreement. "Stones are also safer, but if you're training to dodge typical projectial weapons, then blunted arrows are a safer bet." Besides, if someone wears heavy armor like him, they would just trust in their armor to protect them from such attacks. "Oh, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Curtana, pleasure to meet you."

The offer of joining in on the training is a surprising one at first, and the Pooka knight almost seems interested at first. Glancing over at the line and seeing all the woman who wanted to meet this samurai though...well, he feels like he might be intruding on something if he did. He's not sure what that is exactly, but better safe than sorry. "I'll leave that to you, then! Besides, me attempting to carrying anyone while wearing my platemail is just going to be uncomfortable for them."

Making sure that he isn't in the way, Curtana moves closer to Miho and Daiyu. "We'll just be official judges while we're still around, how about that, Soujiro? This is your training, after all." And Soujiro is already off!

Miho is just going to watch this one for the most part, she does seem to have some potions ready if things go badly. She look to Souji with a grin.

"Throwing stones is how humans took over Earth."

She notes with a smirk. "Then they got pointy sticks and undid the arms raced of over half a billion years."

"There he goes so sir I didn't catch your name!"

"... It didn't take long for him to get back into it," Daiyu notes of the Soujiro shaped cloud that is left in their presence in lieu of the real thing running off. "The level of dedication is admirable, one supposes. I do hope it is put to... proper use, in the current state of affairs." While aware of the long line of young lasses glaring her way, Daiyu paid it little mind. She is a sophisticated woman, such leering and affont is beneath her.

Miho says "No it didn't take him long at all. He's been like this as long as I have known him." She looks to Daiyu again thinking for a moment.

"Yeah he's clueless about how many ladies want to drag him into the bushes...its kinda cute really."

Curtana looks a little non-plussed by that lost comment from Miho. "Drag him into the bushes...? Do you think they would be brazen enough to try to rob him in broad daylight?" There's no way Curtana could be that clueless, right? Just has to be a joke...but the confusion clear on his face isn't letting up in the slightest.

Oh dear.

... Daiyu covers her mouth with one tail tip to keep from snickering too loudly. Both at Miho's implication and Curtana seemingly clueless about what it really means. After a moment to get it out of her system she's back to her usual composure. "The only thing they would be inclined to steal him, from each other."

Miho thinks Curtana is joking for a moment then she looks at him. "Good joke there Curtana." She grins she thinks he's joking he has to be joking. "Pretty much with that you should see his regular party..."

Daiyu's and Miho's comments only leave the Pooka only more confused. One could almost see the question marks visibly form above his head. "From each other...? A joke?" Shaking his head after failing to catch on onto whatever the two mean by that, he tries to move the conversation onwards. "What is Soujiro's normal party like, then? The few times I met him before, he's usually leading a different group of Adventurers into battle, like when we took on an undead knight."

"You would have to ask someone more familiar with him and his kind," Daiyu replies. By now she's reclaimed her tea, pouring another cup for herself, and using a bit of fire magic in one paw to warm it back up before resuming her relaxing watching of people to get to know Yamato's societal nature better.

Miho stares at Curt for a moment "Wait you have no idea.... oh dear." She does not say more and will leave his innocence to him.

"I fear i need to get going. I have things I need to get up to."
