The party had been going for a while now. Asuka, Ryu and Alucard had started a conversation with Cantrelle.

"So tell us. What was up with you and that mayor-midget?" Ryu asked.

"Well, I used to belong to a dark guild called skull thunder. We were like a family but we still performed some illegal jobs. However, the guild was destroyed a few months ago. That mayor used to be the master. But apparently he was able to move on. I hope everyone else was too. They are the only family I ever knew." Cantrelle explained a little sad.

"Ah, cheer up, Cantrelle. I'm sure they're ok. Besides, you have us now, right?" Asuka said to comfort her new friend.

"Yeah you're right." Cantrelle cheered up.

Suddenly the door burst open and a man entered the guild. He was short and old with a huge head and odd chin.

"HMMMM ERZA, WHAT A WONDERUL PERFUME YOU HAVE AGAIN." Ichiya, the short old one said, upon seeing Erza. As Erza tried to hold him back, Ryu started to approach Ichiya.

"Hey, douche-midget! Either wash yourself or leave! I can't stand your stench!" Ryu told him.

"Just who do you think you're talking to you little snotnose?! You're talking to Ichiya from Blue Pe..." But the dwarf didn't get to finish his sentence. Ryu had grabbed his face.

"I warned you..." And with that the dragon slayer punched Ichiya so hard that the old man's head got stuck in the wall opposite to their position. After Ichiya managed to free himself, he started to talk seriously.

"Well, enough of this. We have important information for you guys."

What do you mean, Ichiya?" Erza got curious.

"Well, recently 2 lovely women visited us. Though their perfume was wonderful, their words were absolutely unpleasant. They said they were from a guild called lightning bull. They told us to back of as Lightning bull doesn't like loser guilds. Though the younger one was more polite, she still was on Lightning bulls side. That is why I came to talk to you. I'm afraid that they may come here too. I just wanted to warn you. By the way what's with this kid here? He seems even angrier now than when I came in."

Everybody turned towards Ryu and Alucard, and saw it was true. The look on their faces was the one of pure hatred.

"Lightning... Bull.." Alucard whispered

"No... You won't take these away from us too..." Ryu mumbled.

"Ryu. It's alright nothing is gonna happen to us." Asuka said, hugging her friends.

"That kid seems have had a little trouble with lightning bull in the past. Well I don't want to be the one to remind him of that. Im going now. Call me Erza." Ichiya said, to which Erza shuddered.

"Wait. Small guy with odd face... Thanks." Ryu said.

"And?" The perfume mage said.

"If you're waiting for an apology... You're not getting one." Ryu smirked. And with an angry face, Ichiya left.
