24 First Episode (1/2)

In a secluded inn, a pretty red-haired young woman was cleaning the tables while talking to some regular customers.

Suddenly, the inn door opened. A group of men came in, talking and laughing out loud. After sitting at a table, the men looked around and saw the waitress clearing the table. Their eyes lit up.

”Hey cutie, why don't you come here and have a drink with us. I'll pay your daily wage and even give you a bonus if your mouth satisfies me.” one of the men gruffly said as his friends laughed, hearing what he said.

”I'm sorry, but I'm not interested, dear customers.” The pretty red-haired waitress said.

During the conversation, a swordsman, with long black hair and a straw hat covering his face, entered the inn. His hand glued to his sword the entire time, the swordsman used his remaining hand and pulled a seat at the counter to sit down.

Seeing the man enter the inn, the waitress was a little surprised but quickly resumed her work.

”Dude's, look at that guy's sword. I think it will make a really good replacement in place of my old sword, what do you think?” Said one of the troublemakers.

”I think so too dude, let's ask him 'nicely'. Then we can take this waitress and take her to our base on the mountain.” Laughed a little fat man.

That said the group of four stood up and headed for the swordsman sitting at the counter who was drinking his sake.

”Hey buddy, my brother here really liked your sword, why don't you sell it to us for two bronze coins?” Said a man with a smug look on his face, thinking the man would be intimidated and give up his sword for two bronze coins.

”Not interested.” The swordsman said as he continued drinking his sake without even turning to look at the men.

”That was not a request.” Said one of the men as he put his hand on the swordsman's shoulder.

”You have three seconds to get that dirty hand off my shoulder.” The swordsman gripped his sword's scabbard, preparing to move.

”What are you going to do if I don't take it off?” Asked the man who was squeezing the swordsman's shoulder.

After three seconds the swordsman turned around and without taking his sword out of its scabbard, hit the man's head. The movement was so fast that none of the four were able to react.

As the swordsman turned to drink his sake again, he felt a cold blade a few millimeters from his throat. Looking at who was holding the dagger, he saw the waitress.

”Who sent you here?” Someone asked as held the dagger to the swordsman's neck.

Feeling the cold feeling in his neck, the swordsman turned to see who could approach him with a blade before his senses warned him. To his surprise, the young waitress was emitting a cold aura and a small intention to kill while holding her dagger.

”I'm your father's friend, I came to help.” Said the swordsman.
