An unruly bard was scribbling on the sand with a crude piece of bone when Toyokawa Sakiko caught him red-handed.
"Come one, come all! Don't pass this up! Let me tell you a fresh new legend: Once, there was a blue-haired noble flower in the city of Bast. The Holy Nation's iron hooves crushed her into the dust of Rebirth Town! But guess what? She clawed her way out of a pile of corpses through sheer madness, only to be taken in by a pretty blonde from the Wandering Ninjas!"
"And that's not all! She and her lovely companion went around slaying Fogmen and stealing bird eggs, making a name for themselves on the Shek's turf! Then she recruited a black-haired ice beauty who could dent Holy Armor with one punch, a clever purple-haired girl snatched from a Tech Hunter den, and finally even charged into Rebirth Town's hellhole to rescue her green-haired old flame, who can barely get a word out!"
"Now they rule the mountains, beating up the Holy Nation and pummeling the Empire. Even the skeletons can't get a moment's peace! Want to know how this gang of beautiful bandits fights its way through this godforsaken world? Get the full story in the latest battlefield chronicle, Ave Mujica's Machetes and Love Songs!"
Sakiko expressionlessly scuffed the writing away with her foot. "Spread another ridiculous rumor like that, and next time I'll use your teeth to sharpen my blade."
