"Hmm. You won't believe what I found out." He said with twinkling light in his eyes. Like a child waiting to be praised for doing a good job.

At this I could not help but smile thinking about our first meeting. 

Back then Samael had such a cliché bad boy bearing. Ahh you really can't judge a book by its cover, not that I can see the cover.

"So, what is it that you found?" I was unable to bear his exciting gaze, so I finally asked, making his eyes sparkle even more.

"I found out where the Tokugawa family keeps the treasure, which they stole from the beast clan."

"And…"

"As expected, nothing can get past your keen eyes." He said with flattery.

"And?"

"And I also found out what kind of treasure it is." And just as he finished his words, I could practically imagine how his puppy eyes looked at me as if asking for patting once again.

"Good job." I said and patted his head for a little bit as a smile finally flattered on my poker face.

After that we spent the whole hour planning our next steps carefully.

Change of POV.

A few days later notice came out in the adventurer's hall about the upcoming beast tide. Most of the people here seemed pretty used to this as it was very often in Anatolia.

As hundreds of adventurers gathered in the main hall of the guild, a woman with long dark green hair and small triangle shaped glasses came out.

This was Anatolia's guild master Josephine. She always wore different colored tight mini dresses with matching triangle shaped glasses and braided hair.

Mini dress left little to the imagination as it clung to her hourglass body, her bright green eyes always shone with mischief unfortunately this was not what Morana saw when she first used her 'seer's' powers on her.

Instead of a sexy and beautiful guild master what Morana saw was an unknown-shaped monster glowing in pale green and purple mana particles.

Immense power was seeping out of her and Morana knew she would definitely lose if she fought against Josephine.

After adventurers saw Josephine coming out the ever so loud hall finally quieted down.

"As you know in two days, we are expecting the next beast tide; anyone who is an E or higher-ranking adventurer can participate, you can sign up with Mary and Alex and as long as you show up for the tide and won't die in it you may receive your rewards three days later. All the rewards are given out in correspondence to your adventurers Rank.

That's all, you are all dismissed. Signing up will start now, so if you wish to participate go to either Mary or Alex."

After finishing her words Josephine didn't spare any more glances to the adventurers and just disappeared.

Both Morana and Samael decided to sign up for the upcoming beast tide so they stood in the long row.

After about 30 to 40 minutes later it was finally their turn.

"Name?"

"Rana."

"Rank?"

"E."

"Any family?"

"None." 

Hearing her short answers Mary looked at Morana for a few seconds as if to study her before she did the same procedure for Samael.

After signing up they went back to the inn as the main event was finally here.

Two days later…

As the first rays of light shone over the city of Anatolia somewhere a few kilometers away deafening roars of different beasts were promised to threaten the city's peace.

As Morana opened her beautiful eyes her confused eyes immediately became clear. She stood up and opened the curtains enjoying the last peaceful moment before the storm.

"All the preparations are finally over and so, the play begins." She said as her dead eyes met Samael's and a few minutes later both were gone as if their stay in the inn was just an illusion.

A few seconds later two figures one small and one big could be seen appearing out of thin air, both with peculiar white masks covering their whole face. The only difference beside the size of their body were masks they wore.

Big one wore a white mask with only two holes for the eyes, while the other one didn't have any holes at all but the mask had peculiar shapes of human eyes, nose and mouth.

Two particularly eye-catching figures appeared right in the middle of the Tokugawa household startling all the guards in the area.

"Stop. Who are you? How dare you barge into the Tokugawa household?" Shouted an arrogant guard.

Unfortunately for his pride the two just ignored him as if he was not even there. This infuriated the guards as they were used to being arrogant because of Tokugawa's power.

"You…" too bad he didn't have time to finish what he wanted to say before he died without even realizing what happened.

"Ops… did you wanna say something?" Asked the small figure, but one didn't need to be a genius to understand that he was being sarcastic.

As you have guessed, the two figures were Morana and Samael that disappeared from the inn not too long ago.

In about 5 minutes, all the guards of the household were dead and their corpses were scattered around the area.

"Hmm. Do you think we should do a more dramatic entrance?" Asked Morana.

"I think our entrance was dramatic enough." Said Samael helplessly.

"Really? Maybe we should have stacked the bodies like a human pyramid and set on them like a throne. We should do that next time." These were the words that Tokugawa family members heard when they came out to check what the whole commotion was about.

The head of Tokugawa family Daichi almost coughed up blood from anger, after hearing Morana's words and could not help but roar.

"Who dares to act so unscrupulous in my Household?"
