A familiar face and a new face.

"Well hello again young man! It's been a couple of days!" Zanac remarked the moment he saw Touya. Yep, it was the same man who had bought Touya's clothes and sold him new ones, giving Touya his initial funds for this world.

"Hey, good to see you again Zanac!" Touya said pleasantly. And honestly, it was, the guy was friendly, and quite generous to Touya... Plus, his mind was turning a bit as he considered some future options.

Do what he would be doing with many girls with Zanac, the very thought made him shudder, but having a very good clothes maker on good terms with him was definitely appealing. He could see all kinds of erotic outfits being made for his girls... Harem dancers, maids, cat girls, cow girls ... Then again, if the Sex Note could make them ACTUAL cat girls and cow girls, those last two might be redundant.

Zanac proceeded to explain the quest, to deliver a letter to a Viscount Swordreck in the capital, and bring back his response. "Here are for travel expenses, and I put in a little extra, you can use that for some sightseeing!" Zanac suggested. Touya had to smile at that. A fairly well off man who was generous, an all two rare combination back in his old world...

Getting a closer look, Touya saw several thugs surrounding a beautiful woman with two katanas and wearing a travel kimono and a bow in her hair. '...guessing she's from Ishen,' Touya mentally called it. 'What's this situation about?'
