And we continue our saga of Gallant x Lancia!

Thanks to RunawayPanda :3


"Hey, Gallant! Still hammering?"

The Blacksmith lowered his hammer, looking at the visitor. "Yes, Vargas. What do you want?" He had redder hairs now, with a hint of flames mixed in.

"Repair my sword, will ya?" he asked. Gallant took it, and began hammering. "Gah, Vargas. You know to not slay dragons with this blade, and you still do."

"No, Gallant. I won against that woman finally." he said pridefully. "She yelded to me after i broke her blade."

"I say it's great. The price will be fifty Coins."

"Ehhh... Mind if i take you out to eat instead?" asked the Fire King. "How about the Lan-Lan?"

"Well..." Gallant gulped, his ears going red. "This would mean meeting her..."

"Come on, dude! You totally love her!" said Vargas. "It's better that you tell her now instead of her getting stole by, say, Vanberk."

"No fucking way!" he exclaimed. "Gah, Vargas..."

"So will you come? I don't have the Coins to pay you otherwise." snidely said Vargas. Gallant felt his rage mounting. Lucius damn it, he put me on a fork... "I'll come."

-Lancia's place-

"Hey, Gallant!" said the chef, smiling widely. "I didn't expect you to come today!"

"Ehmmm... You see, i..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "How about some fried Legtos?"

"Coming right up, just sit at a table!" she said, going into the kitchen and starting to cook. Gallant and Vargas sat down, the former peeking at Lancia, the latter grinning like an idiot.

"Hey, cook! Gimme some meat!" shouted a blond haired man, with a massive broadsword on his back. "YESTERDAY!"

"Calm down you, people are trying to eat." calmly said a green haired, blue eyed man with a massive green pike beside him. The other turned around. "I slayed monsters since this morning to get in this place and i want to eat. I got the Coins so I WANT TO EAT!"
"STOP SHOUTING!" replied a blue haired woman with a rose in her hairs. A very long and slim sword was tied to her side. "That man is right, you're harassing her guests."

"Well, is asking some meat harassing? WELL I AM!"

"Stop shouting at her." stood up Gallant. "Shout all you want, but don't do that at her."

"And who the fuck are you?" he said. "My name is Eze, swordsman from Atharva! THE BEST OF THEM ALL!"

"Eze? That Eze? The same idiot that woke up a bunch of Behemoths?" said the greenie, making him enrage. "FINE! Come out, you red head!"

"Let me settle this, Gallant." said Vargas. "Just sit down and eat with your sweetheart."

"Thanks, my friend." he replied, patting his shoulder.

"Oh, this ought to be interesting." said the bluenette, also heading out. The greenie quietly picked up his pike and followed them.

"And here's the fried Legtos, Gallant!" chirped Lancia, bringing it to the Blacksmith. He smiled, taking out his fork. "Sit down for a while, will you?"

"Where did all the guests go...?" she asked, looking at the empty tables. "They didn't go without paying, right?"

"Don't worry, they only went to see Vargas and another idiot brawl outside. But i would advise you to remain here, because i think hell is about to break loose."

"H-here... Close to you...?" she said, shyly peeking at him. "Say... I never forgot that day, Gallant. The day you and Vargas saved me."

"Neither did i, Lancia..." he replied. "Because i met a true friend that day."

"Friend..." she said. "Say... H-how about..." Her face went red as her hairs. "H-how about putting together a mutually beneficial collaboration?"

"You're talking about... Ehm..." Gallant too went red. "Joining me in my workshop?

"I'd be glad to..." She rested her head on his shoulder, hugging his chest. "Gallant... It's when you stay close to me like now... That i really love you."

He took out a second fork. "Want to eat some? It's on Vargas."

She took it, smiling. "Eat well, Gallant."

-Outside-

"Why have YOU come outside and not HIM?!" said Eze, eyeing Vargas. "You want to die?"

"Nope, my reckless friend." replied the Fire King. "I want to DUEL!"

"Men..." sighed the bluenette, pinching her nosebridge. "Why can't you simply talk?"

"Because they lack finesse, my dear." replied the greenie. "Lance from Vriksha. What's your name, flower of my eyes?"

She blushed a bit. "My name is Selena."

Eze and Vargas dropped their weapons. "S-selena? The chief of the Savat? THAT Selena?" said the latter. "If it's that... I want you to fight me!"

"Too many fights going on at once." said a cold voice. Vargas gringed. "Sorry everyone, i'll fight you some other time."

"Oh HELL NO!" shouted Eze. "I WANT MY FIGHT NOW!"

"PIPE DOWN DUMBASS!" shouted Selena, whacking him on the head hard.

"We meet again, Vargas." said a black haired woman. She had small plumed wings on her back. "I wonder if this time you'll win."

"We'll see about it, Lava! Brave Burst: Infinity Nova!" charged Vargas. Lava blocked it barely, sidestepping and jumping at him at lightspeed. "Brave Burst: Blade of Lament!"

"Is it all you got?" taunted Vargas, parrying the strike. "Garh... You're surely stronger. But you will never win!"

"Same to you!" shouted Lava. "I won't lose to YOU! NOT AGAIN!"

"They're made for each other, right Greeny?" said Eze.

"My name is Lance. Yes, they are quite the couple. Much like you and Princess Emilia."

"S-SHUT UP!" His ears went red as Vargas' fire. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME? I-i may be married to Selena here for all you know!"

"That can't be possible..." she said, looking at her blade. "Savat chiefs can't marry..."

"But there's unrequited love in your eyes. Drevas can also feel that."

"L-love..." muttered Eze. "I-i don't need it! Go to your fellow aristocrats, Lance! I heard Princess Lidith is cute, go harass her!"

"Harass..." Lance's eyes looked down. I miss you... Lidith...

Over there, Lava laid defeated on the ground. Vargas looked back at Eze, clutching his shoulder. "Care to... Stay at my place...? It's as... A celebration..."

"Vargas..." said Selena, helping him to stand. "Here. Let me help you..."


And Vargas's colleagues make an appearance!

Try to guess the other ships, eheheheheh...
