Genkysou is a bustling metropolis at the moment, bare breasted natives wandering around as they perform the mundane tasks required to live.<br/>Lyra and Valerie make their way towards the Smiths, as does Ora seperately...As they pass threough the rows of boiling girls towards restaurant alley, Ora can only look up at Luth's Man-trap, the bulge now blissfully still, only twitching every now and then, revealing that he was unfortunately still alive... for now. Unholy screams came from the other plant sacs, as they writhed, full of juicy girlmeat.<br/><br/>Being safe to pass the nest of plants for the time being, they all made their way up to the Blacksmith's by the river. The fires inside were burning bright orange, a sure sign that the Weapons dealer was hard at work.<br/>A small gaggle of scout cadets played by the riverside with a small ball made of the stuffed, preserved leather head of some girl. The game they played was complicated, and fun looking; a heavy contact sport, and the cadets were throwing themselves into the activity heartily. One of the teams scores a goal, and there is celebrating on the winning side. The losing side strips off, and enters the water... some kind of penalty game.<br/><br/>The girls swim professionally over towards the far bank of the river... And all but one of them make it across. A petite blonde girl, lagging behind the pack, is caught by something that thrashes under the water. She screams as she is pulled under... Bubbles and blood rise to the surface as she's torn apart by something large and unseen under the water. You get the feeling that the risk of death was what had made the game so hard fought.<br/><br/>As you all enter the blacksmith, you are greeted by the sight of a strong woman, stoking the fires, and hammering out iron into beautiful curved shapes. She wears more clothing than most, a full leather hellhound apron covers her entire front. and her body is covered in welts and burns from her many years tending the fires, and hammering out weapons for the village. A Blacksmith is among one of the most revered, and powerful people in the village. Even a Village Chieftain would do well to avoid confrontations with a dangerous woman like the Blacksmith Kurogane
