[The comeback surprises Ruca and he barely manages to avoid the slash, bring his big sword to defend himself. The two blades clash and Ruca takes a step back, before he launches another attack at the monster.

His heart is beating faster but he's not sure if it's worry that drives him or the excitement that he's strong and can fight the monster.]

[spirialink]

[Ruca's swing hits hard and true, bringing down the monster! At the same time, Kor defeats his quarry as well. For now, it seems like the monsters attacking the port were gone. Kor walks over to Ruca to congratulate him on some amazing work in battle.]

That was great work, Ruca! You swung that sword around like it was just a stick!

[Is comparing someone's sword ability to stick fighting a compliment? Probably not, but Kor thinks it is.]

[demonicbookworm]

[Ruca looks confused for a moment. They did it? They defeated all the monsters? A smile spreads on his face as he looks down on his hands.]

...I really did it.

[Then he looks at Kor, taking every compliment with a smile that is soon changing to something almost relieved.]

Thank you, Kor. Ah, but... you did amazing job, too!

[spirialink]

[Kor laughs sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. He's not going to lose this compliment war, dammit.]

Haha, not as amazing as you were!

[For a guy who acted like he knew nothing about fighting, he did great.]

Oh, yeah! Did you manage to remember anything from fighting those guys?

[demonicbookworm]

No, no! You did so much better than me!

[This war, he will not lose it!

Ruca looks away for a moment, then down at his sword.]

...I remember I've seen those monsters before. I remember fighting them.

[It feels like there's something more to those creatures, but he isn't sure what exactly.]

[spirialink]

Yeah, but I've been fighting monsters for a long time. Meanwhile, you fight like a pro even though you're barely bigger than that sword you're wielding!

[He's being complimentary, honest.]

So you've fought them before, huh...

[Kor taps his chin. There's only one place he's seen monsters like that. ...Well, two places, but that other place is so remote that there's no way Ruca could be from there. ...Right?]

Got it, then I know where the next stop on our journey together is!
