Seijun blushed, looking away as Teiji helped her up onto her horse. She didn't like the fact that she needed the help, but she did appreciate it despite that. "Th-Thank you.." She said, but noticed his barely noticeable smile. Seijun felt a bit happy with the small accomplishment, but soon got focused on the problem at hand.<br/><br/>"That makes sense. I-I honestly feel a bit anxious, but I trust you, Teiji-san." She sighed, smiling a little as he patted her leg in reassurance. Hearing a small commotion, Seijun gasped as Teiji pulled out his sword as the culprits decided to reveal themselves.<br/><br/>"W-Wait, wh-what?!" Seijun squeaked, Lord Yokokawa riding his horse to get her attention. "You heard him, Seijun, stay close to me." He said sternly. Reluctantly, Seijun only frowned and watched Teiji interact with the trio of bandits.<br/><br/>"We just want to make a deal!" The leader exclaimed, taking out his sword while the other two did the same. "Just give us your valuables and we will leave peacefully."<br/><br/>"Yeah, we don't want to make a big mess of things!" The girl said, giving them a wide grin. "Although, I'm always up for a good fight."<br/><br/>The last member only sighed. "Jeez, how barbaric can you get, Lin?"<br/><br/>"Surrender now! You're outnumbered in skill, samurai!" The leader spoke again. "You have two civilians backing you, and there's three skilled bandits against you! Give up already!"
