Kenji was moving forward through the small narrow path that had led in from the main street to the back alley. The arguing from the back street was clearly none of his business but he had nothing else to do right now and figured he'd see what was going on, plus he had made a promise with Shaun Konekone when he was a kid that should he see someone in need, help them. Even in another world he'd still hold up his ideals. As he made his way forward Kenji came across those that were causing the commotion, whether the other people in the street just ignored the arguing or just didn't hear was hard to tell. Standing a few meters before him were four people, two men, facing two girls who had their backs to the wall, the one with short silver hair seemed nervous as the situation was progressing while the long silver haired one was only riling the situation up further.

As Kenji took note of the two girls it was clear they looked similar or more so completely identical. Were they twins? Despite the difference in expression and the long and short haircut, they both had identical silver hair. Even their outfits were eerily similar. Was it normal for siblings in this world to where close to the same outfit? There was still so much he didn't know about this world. He and Noe wouldn't be caught dead in similar outfits after all.

"This isn't what you promised! The price should have been one gold coin!" Kenji was close enough now to be able to make out what the arguing voices were saying, the girl with the long silver hair was fully intending to get their payment for what looked to be a crystal antler of some kind… wait if the guy already had it in his possession why the hell hadn't they paid for it? Oh and not to mention, why was this deal going down in a back alley! This was way too shady!

"What the hell are you saying? I certainly said I'll buy this crystal antler for one piece of gold." The man explained, holding the Antler out. "On the account that it's not damaged. Take a look, there's a damaged part here right? So it's only worth this much." Kenji picked up the obnoxious tone in his voice as the man showed a silver coin not unlike his own gold coins, that mark was clearly not there when he had retrieved it, that much Kenji could tell. It was some kind of scam. "Here, take this silver coin." The silver coin was tossed across the gap and landed at the two girl's feet landing with a clink as it spun before resting on the stone pavement in silence.

"That's just one silver coin; one single scratch doesn't make the thing ten times less valuable!" The long haired girl shouted kicking the silver coin back to the two men but it was ignored. While this was happening Kenji noted the short haired girl was trying to calm her sister down, but despite her best efforts her words went unheard and his sister continued. "Forget it; I don't want your money, just give the antler back to me." She declared holding out her hand. However the man without the antler stepped forward producing a knife.

"This isn't a negotiation sweathear-gah!" Kenji's foot planted itself right into the man's back sending him flying forward causing Kenji to blink as the man hit the wall between the two girls causing it to crack as the man fell unconscious to the ground, the knife clattered across the ground no longer a threat. Everyone was stunned at the sudden attack, no one more surprised by Kenji at the feat. His kick should have just kicked the guy down, not sent him hurtling into the wall ahead. Just what had God done to him to make a simple kick that damn powerful!?

"Wah! Who the hell are you!" The second man shouted as he jumped back from Kenji, the delinquent's gaze turning to the man with a scowl making the man pale.

"I believe that belongs to them, right?" Kenji questioned pulling his hands from his pockets and making a show of cracking his knuckles as he gave off an intimidating aura. "Either give it back or give them their payment." He told the man who looked from Kenji to the two stunned girls. Quickly reaching into his pocket the man produced a gold coin and threw it to the long haired girl who caught it with ease before scurrying off with his antler, not even bothering to help his unconscious comrade or pick up the silver coin he had tossed to the girls. Honour among thieves, yeah right.

"Thank you for your help." The long haired girl spoke gaining Kenji's attention from where he was watching the coward run off. "I'm Elze Silhoueska and this is my younger twin sister Linze Silhoueska." So he had been right, they were twins.

"Yes, thank you very much." Linze, behind her elder sister bowed her head with a small smile, grateful for the help.

"I'm Kazama Kenji." He introduced himself since they had done the same for him. Recalling God's trouble with his name and figuring that this world might not have the same customs as Japan he continued. "Kenji is my given name while Kazama is my family name." He explained.

"Oh, so the given name and surname are reversed, are you from Ishen?"Elze questioned, seemingly more interested than what Kenji gave her credit. But that right now was beside the point; this Ishen might be something to look into if it had anything to do with Japan. Although Kenji wasn't all that much into history, it would at least be nice to have something vaguely familiar in this new world.

"Something along those lines." Kenji stated.

"What are you doing this far from home, if you don't mind my asking?" Elze questioned.

"Ah… well…" Kenji didn't really know how to answer that one; he didn't even have a plan all he was doing was trying to find a place to stay for the night. "Actually, I was just looking for the Silver Moon Inn; I haven't planned much further than that." As if by some stroke of luck, the two that he had come to aide were already staying at the Silver Moon Inn and as thanks for helping them out were more than happy to show him the way. After picking up the silver coin the two 'bandits' had tossed to the girls, seeing as it was payment for having to deal with the two idiots, the three left the back alley and out onto the main street again. As they walked, Kenji beside Elze with her younger sister beside her, Linze spoke up.

"People from Ishen truly have a unique style." Linze smiled at Kenji. "That red shirt, I've never seen such fine materials, also your hair is incredibly spiky." She explained, making him grimace slightly as he pulled on a strand of his fringe.

"Not to mention that earring, you look more like a thug than those two idiots back in the alleyway." Elze grinned at him as she rose her hand up to press it against his hair. "Ouch! Gah, what is your hair made out of!" Linze laughed as Elze glared at his head of spiky hair, if she didn't touch it she wouldn't have been pricked by it! As they walked, the two girls had no problems conversing with their rescuer. It was not a problem for Kenji, he after all he was learning more as he listened. Not much but a few basics.

Soon enough they were in front of a three story tall building, it was made out of wood and bricks and looked considerably sturdy. Just above the door was a sign post with a silver crescent moon. Deciding to memorize the logo, figuring it'd be best to be familiar with it encase he got lost. Kenji followed both Elze and Linze inside the inn. The first floor looked to be set out into a bar but seems to look like a dining room also; on the right hand side as a counter and on the left hand side was a staircase.

"Welcome. Is it for a meal or to stay for the night?" The young woman called from behind the counter as Elze pushed Kenji forward. Kenji in turn stumbled over to the counter and met face to face with the red haired young woman.

"Uh…"

"Is it a meal or a room?" She re-questioned.

"Umm, I would like to stay, how much does it cost per night?" Kenji asked, figuring this would be a good opportunity to weigh in just how much the currency here was worth. He had seven gold and a silver that he had picked up from the swindlers.

"For one night, with a meal included in the morning and evening is two copper coins, oh and pay in advance, okay?" The woman explained with a smile on her face. Still that didn't give Kenji much to go off. There was Gold, Silver and Copper, so far that was all he knew. He didn't have any copper coins on him but he had no idea how many coppers went into a silver piece or a gold piece. Deciding to just go for it he raised his only silver coin.

"How many nights can I stay with this?" Kenji questioned sliding the silver over the counter.

"How many nights?" She questioned unsure of his question, anyone could figure out surely. "About twenty five." The woman offered.

"Going by basic math, at two copper a night for twenty five nights, that's fifty coppers to a silver coin meaning it'd be a hundred copper per gold coin." Kenji did the math in his head quickly, he may not have paid much attention in his recent classes but he could at least do a simple calculation on the fly. However that just brought the attention to the seven gold coins currently nestled in the small bag that Zanakku had given him! Just how much was that crazy man willing to pay for his damn clothes! Just how long could he stay in the inn without doing a day's work because he sold his school uniform!?

"Um customer, have you decided yet?" The woman behind the counter questioned.

"The twenty five days then." He told her handing her the silver coin.

"Alright. Because there have been only few visitors recently, you've helped us a lot. Thank you very much." She bowed her head to him. Kenji looked over to Elze and Linze who were sitting at a table, were they the only other customers currently in the inn since she said that they hadn't had many recently? Was something wrong with the amount of travelers on the road? Was this the start of his journey to take down the Demon Lord!? This is how things like that always started in games! With a small thud Kenji turned back to the woman behind the counter to see that she had brought forth what looked to be a hotel register. Opening it she turned the book towards Kenji and offered him a quill that had been dabbed in ink.

"Then please sign here customer." She smiled as Kenji took the quill and without thought or hesitation, it being just another signing of his name, he wrote them in the kanji that he always had.

"S-Sir! Please don't' scribble in the register!" Kenji blinked as he looked up at her panicked face and he looked down to his writing only to match it with the others and to him, the other writing looked like chicken scratch while his looked perfectly fine, but to everyone else…

"S-Sorry." He laid down the quill in the center of the book. "I… I can't write." He stated, his cheeks slightly inflamed at having to admit such.

"No, that's alright." She told him as she turned the register back to face her, picking up the quill and crossed out what he had written. "Please, just your name."

"Kaza-…" He scowled as the woman tilted her head, he was going to have to get use to saying his first name first otherwise he'd always be mistaken as someone coming from that Ishen place. "Kenji Kazama." She nodded as she wrote down his name before placing the register and quill away before turning and pulling a key from a hook. "This is your room key. Don't lose it. The location is on the third floor the innermost room. It's the best room that faces the sun. The toilet and the bath is on the first floor, meals are here." She informed him with a smile.

"Thank you." Kenji nodded taking the key from her.

"Micah, sorry but could we please get some dinner?" Elze asked from where she was seated. "Kenji, come join us for dinner."

"Then, I'll make something for you three so wait a little; I'll have some tea made for your wait." Micah replied.

"You're the best Micah!" Elze grinned as Kenji approached their table before taking a seat opposite the two girls. While they waited they talked, Kenji enquiring about the situation that he had found them in. Apparently the two had taken a job for those two swindlers to retrieve the crystal antler but since it wasn't a guild sanctioned job, they had no way to actually enforce any of the laws to help them legally in their trade.

"That's why I objected to the job in the first place Sis; you should listen to me more." Linze told her making the older of the twins laugh sheepishly at that however Linze glared at the older sister. Kenji had to say that it was amusing to see that the younger sister was more reliable. Elze was the more loud type, while Linze the quiet type.

"Linze, let's use this chance to register with the guild." Elze told her younger sister. "Today was just way to out there and if it wasn't for Kenji, who knows what might have happened." She explained.

"I think that's a good idea, safety first. Let's go register tomorrow." Linze agreed.

"Right, it'd be too late now." Elze stated. "Hey Kenji, you're new in town right? Why don't you come with us?" She offered. "It's a good way to earn money and you look like a fighter and by the way you kicked that guy, you've got the strength for adventuring." She told him, as Kenji thought it over. Being an Adventure? That was like the biggest thing in fantasy settings right? The easiest way to find money it was also a risk fighting monsters and such, and since there was magic here there would undoubtedly be monsters, right? A place where they would mediate work to employees. There would undoubtedly be various requests where you would receive money if you complete them.

This actually made Kenji's blood pump a little quicker; he had always enjoyed fighting, despite the title of delinquent that came with it. Then there was this new strength that he had been gifted by God. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't curious to know what his new limits were. Not to mention he had to find something to do in this new world. Despite being reincarnated here, he had no goals to achieve or tasks to complete. So joining the Adventures Guild seemed to be the best solution so that he could figure things out as he went, if he got to pummel down a few monsters or bandits, so be it. He'd still make the Kazama Gang proud!

"I'm in." Kenji told the two getting smiles from them both. After he registered with the guild and received a job he could earn more money, to the point where he could make it a routine and he could have a steady income over his course and simple decide on what to do as situations arose. Kenji sat back in his chair a little befuddled at the situations that had unfolded. It had started with him being hounded to join a club at school by a bunch of weird girls, then it led to his death by a God that seemed incompetent above all else. Then he was reincarnated into a weird world and sold his school uniform just to get by, beat up a couple of thugs and now was having dinner with a cute pair of twins.

He almost felt as though the situation was what Shaun Konekone would call, youth.

When morning came Kenji met Elze and Linze down stairs, Micah having said something unnecessary to the two girls causing Elze to blush frantically as she denied that she had found a man in Kenji while Kenji himself was stared at by a blushing Linze. He didn't know what had gotten into Micah but according to Elze, the bar keep was a gossip and liked to stir the pot on occasions. Leaving the Silver Moon Inn the three headed towards the guild, Kenji taking note of just how bustling the city of Refuretto actually was, not having taken much notice the previous day. The guild itself was located in the centre of the city so Kenji had the chance to view much of it on their way to the guild.

Elze led the way through the guild building once they entered, leading them straight to a large desk, Kenji spotting numerous people that looked like classic adventurers surrounding a large board with numerous different kinds of notices on it. Basically any kind of guild setting that he had seen in media. Linze pulled him on his arm, getting him to pay attention to what Elze was doing.

"Good morning, we would like to register with the guild." Elze spoke to the woman behind the counter who nodded with a smile before she began to explain some details of the registration. While Kenji was listening to what was being said he was also looking around at the other people in the guild, despite it still being early there was plenty of people about. What did draw his attention was their attire and weapons; here he was in just basic clothes while there were people with armor, shields swords. Turning to Elze and Linze they didn't look that better off than him in that regard but something told him that they were prepared for their work while he was not. Deciding he could figure things out after they registered he listened to what was being said.

Kenji got the basics of the rules that they were given, basically the guild themselves introduce the client's task to the adventurer and then they charge a mediation fee. Because the tasks are divided into ranks by their degree of difficulty. If you complete the task, then you get compensated. If you happen to fail the task, they will charge you a breach of contract fee. To Kenji it seemed fair and once the three were all clear on the rules the woman behind the counter handed them their registration forms. It was then that Kenji was once more reminded that he had no idea how to read the language let alone write it. Linze seeing Kenji's defeated expression smiled softly as she walked up beside him, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear as he took the quill out of his hand.

"Don't worry, let me help you." She offered him.

"Thanks." Elze turned to see what was going between her younger twin and their new friend, seeing Linze writing for Kenji as he gave her details to the questions she asked him she figured out what was happening and quickly finished her own form before handing it over to the registration lady. Once Linze and Kenji had finished their own paperwork each were given their guild cards.

"That ends the registration. The tasks are posted on that board over there. After you check that place, please apply at the reception desk." The woman spoke getting smiles from the twins and a nod from Kenji. Now the three were standing in front of the mission board, numerous tasks posted and Kenji couldn't read a single thing that he was seeing. He simply stood admiring the crude drawings of some of the tasks while Linze and Elze were chatting about what task they should take. Deciding he should ask he turned to the twins.

"Which one should we take?" Kenji questioned, it hadn't been confirmed that they would be working together but there was no harm in thinking such. Not to mention if he didn't have the help of these two then he wouldn't be able to pick a job. The language barrier was going to have to get fixed as soon as he was able to do so.

"What about this one? The reward is decent, isn't this good for starters?" Elze said energetically already ripping the poster down off the board with a grin.

" It's not bad I think. Kenji, what do you think?" Linze questioned turning to the orange haired delinquent only frowning and bowing. "I'm sorry, I'll explain it." She said frantically, Kenji awkwardly averted his gaze away from her, it was embarrassing to suddenly be apologized to like this when it was his fault for not knowing the language. "It's a demon beast subjugation quest. Five demon beasts called horned wolf have been located in the nearby forest. The reward is 18 copper." She finished.

"Sounds good." Kenji nodded getting a grin from Elze who quickly rushed the flier over to the desk where the woman who had helped them with their registration processed the quest for them to take. While Elze was over there, Kenji turned to the shy younger sister.

"I'm really sorry." Kenji apologized to her. "I should make more of an effort to learn to read and write."

"No, please I was being inconsiderate." She told him. "Um…" Kenji tilted his head, her hands were clasped in front of her as he shimmed nervously on the spot. "I… I could help you, if you'd like?" She offered looking up, her cheeks mildly flushed as she stared at him.

"Yeah, that would be a great help." Kenji nodded. "Maybe when we get back to the inn you could give me a few lessons?" He offered as her face brightened up and she nodded with a smile.

"Yes."

"Kenji! Linze! Let's go!" Elze called from where she was already at the front door, the two heading out of the guild following in the older sister's wake. Standing in the front of the entrance of the guild Elze had her hands on her hips with a grin on her face. "This is our first time working together, so let's do it right." She declared with a fist pump to the air.

"She's way to over excited for this." Kenji thought to himself before sighing. "Just one thing."

"What's wrong Kenji?" Linze asked.

"I don't have a weapon or anything like that yet." He explained. "Can we make a stop before we head off to the forest?" He asked getting an eager nod from Linze; they couldn't exactly go off to the forest with one of their members unarmed. They were going up against Horned Wolves, while not overly strong going without equipment would still be suicide.

"Yeah, let's go." Elze agreed.

It wasn't too hard to find a shop that had what Kenji required, while not looking to buy anything extravagant on his first mission, just wanting to get a feel of what he would be doing so he could decide on more permanent gear later. The shop was the Weapon Shop Bear Eight.

Linze and Elze waited out on the street as Kenji opened the shop door and entered, a small bell attached to the door sounded out to the workers inside to say they had a new customer. In reaction to that sound, a middle-aged man with a large beard came from the interior of the shop. The guy was massive, even Kenji had to look up to look him in the eye.

"W'lcome. What are you looking for?" From his entrance to him leaving, Kenji was showed numerous different kinds of weapons; he didn't take much note of the armor within the store deciding he would just focus on offense for the time being. He had seen weapons from swords to bows, knuckle busters and even weapons he had no idea could even exist. The man had made him test out numerous weapons despite him not wanting too, all he wanted to do was pick up a sturdy weapon and focus on dealing with the horned wolves.

Eventually Kenji left with a short broad sword in its scabbard; he liked the feel of it. While he had noticed a Katana hanging on the wall, he didn't have much interest in the weapon and went with the broadsword. Exiting the shop he spotted Elze and Linze coming back from somewhere, it was clear to Kenji they themselves had went to prepare now that Elze was armored with large greenish gauntlets and Linze with a wand. Taking note of the gauntlets Kenji wondered if he should have gone with something similar, he had never fought with a weapon before but he'd see how he went before making a decision. From there the three walked to another store, Linze saying that Kenji should get some basic supplies, Kenji saw no harm in it and agreed.

They entered into a small little hand shop, Elze taking the chance to look around at some cheap deals while Linze led Kenji to get the basic necessitates. After they left Kenji was stocked up with a small pouch that he managed to fit a water bottle, rations, a fish hook and strings, scissors, a knife, a tool box filled with convenient set of tools such as a match, medicinal herbs, and something like antidote grass. Despite carrying a few things and a large chunk of iron that made up his sword, he didn't feel the weight of any of it as they left the city and exited out into the woods, it was like he wasn't carrying anything.

The journey to the east forest took the trio about two hours on foot from the town of Rifflet. Kenji recalled Elze hoping that they could ride a carriage however there were none heading out this way and they had to walk. It didn't bother Kenji, in fact it was nice to just take in the scenery, and he would never have expected to see a world like this. He was use to the bustling city of Japan, not the wondrous outdoors of a fantasy world. However as the trio approached the forest it was clear that something was amiss.

The sudden cry of birds startled Linze as she shied away closer to Kenji as the former delinquent drew his broad sword with a hiss as it left its scabbard, Elze readied her gauntlets as she began chanting words under her breath, Kenji took note but wasn't able to hear what she was saying, he guessed that she used magic like Linze considering the younger twin had a wand he figured that's what it was for. God did say that there was magic in this world. As the three stood waiting for whatever was to come, Kenji felt an unfamiliar feeling wash over him, he knew there was something out there, like he could feel the presence of the beasts watching them from the trees. Was this a heightened sense God had given him? Then the killing intent rose from the right, Kenji turning it attention to the tree line.

"Time to make a name for myself here." Kenji mused with a slight smirk; he had every intention of making a name for himself be it the leader of the Kazama Gang or something else like a badass adventurer. "Something's coming." He warned the other two who readied themselves into combat stances. The three waited with baited breath before a black shadow leaped from the trees with tremendous speed, the horned wolf lived up to its name as it attacked, charging straight for the trio. Kenji had no qualms about fighting these creatures, it was their job after all and Linze and Elze wouldn't have accepted the request if they felt remorseful about killing the beasts. Wolf A leaped at the trio who ducked underneath the leap, Elze following the wolf, rearing back with her fist and with a shout she let loose a punch, the sickening crunch of bones cracking could be heard as the wolf let out a yelp as it flew across the clearing impacting a tree before falling limp at its base.

Kenji would have been shocked at the force of the blow but he had his own priorities. Kenji was up against Wolf B and C as they prowled around him waiting for an opening, giving them a false one Wolf B leapt forward but Kenji was fully prepared using his new found strength to back hand the wolf away as Wolf C attacked straight after. Kenji was forced to take a step back as the wolf jumped above him intent on using its body weight to force Kenji to the ground, however Kenji once more used his strength to grab hold of the wolf by the fur of its neck and pin it to the ground before driving his sword into its chest.

Standing up straight he looked to Wolf B, knowing it wasn't over for the one he had back handed, though it was now as Elze drives a full body blow into the snout of the wolf. It eats a gauntleted fist before it fell to the ground no longer living. While Kenji had been watching Elze deal with wolf B, three more wolves appeared, all three heading for Elze and Kenji. However Kenji caught the sound of Linze's voice in a chant.

"Come forth, flaming red stone. Ignis Fire." At the same time of hearing her voice, two of the wolves that rushed in to attack were suddenly engulfed in crimson flames, their howls were soon extinguished along with the flames that had been conjured by magic however one wolf still. Stepping forward to take on the challenge, the wolf let out a low growl before charging. Trying to confuse Kenji with a fast pace criss-cross run it leapt for him, intent on ending him with one blow. However Kenji had been watching and with the gifts that God had given him and as the two clashed, the wolf's neck flew in the air and rolls across the ground.

"Finally finished." Linze breathes out a sigh of relief. Kenji smiled lightly, while she was incredible with her magic that Kenji actually hadn't seen only having seen the flames engulf the wolves, she was still nervous about the whole fight. However on the other hand, Elze was beaming and looking for any that they might have missed. Kenji figured that if any wolves had seen that fight, they would have the smarts to not attack.

"Wait, the task was to subdue five, but we killed one more didn't we?" Elze questioned as she counted the wolves. She wasn't wrong as Kenji agreed with her count; there were six in total and what he recalled from the battle they each took down two wolves each. There was no doubt that Kenji was feeling the effects of God's meddling, he was stronger and faster, he could keep up with all of wolves and he wasn't feeling the least bit drained. All three of them set out to removing the horns from the wolves, the actually job itself was the retrieval of the horns.

"Now we can go back to the city." Linze smiled happily.

"We should have got a carriage." Elze groaned.

"A four hour round trip for a five minute battle." Kenji groaned in response however the three were lucky enough to encounter a carriage that allowed to ride back to Refuretto. The three instantly headed back to the guild and handed over the six horns that they had retrieved from the horned wolves. The received the reward of the 18 coppers and split them up between one another. It was clear to Kenji that he wouldn't have a problem with making a living here. As they left the guild Kenji stopped a few feet from them making them turn to face him.

"Can I make a request." Kenji spoke up.

"Request?" Elze asked curiously.

"Yeah, I want you to teach me reading and writing. After all, it's really inconvenient not being able to read and I'm going to have to sign my own eventually." Linze giggled lightly at that.

"I can teach you, if you're fine with me then."

"Thanks, I owe you one." Kenji smiled at her, Linze doing all that she can to hide her glowing cheeks. "I'll be in your care then." He bowed his head lightly, while he didn't hold respect for most he did owe this two a bit, they let him join their party and Linze would now be teaching him. "Oh also, if possible." He rose his hand to the back of his head, not really sure how to ask. "Can you teach me magic too?"

"Eh?"
