Recruiting Wiz.

"Why are we headed to a magic shop?" Cremea asked as the group walked, Kazuma looking at a piece of paper Wiz had given him when they first met, which had the address of said shop. The whole party was present, with the exception of Fio. She and Kazuma had come to the conclusion that if the bandits had a scheme like that going, they probably had someone in the guild hall keeping an eye out for promising targets. So, they worked out a plan that Fio was to stay at the guild hall, and talk about going on a quest to take out a bunch of undead monsters at the cemetery just outside town where they had first met Wiz. A completely made up, bogus quest... But if they were going to make it look believable to any bandits as they approached, they would need to actually have some undead monsters to fight until the bandits came.

"Actually, we're going to see an old lich friend," Kazuma replied.

"Oh, Wiz?" Darkness asked curiously.

"Her!?" Aqua raged a bit.

"A lich!?" Cremea balked.

"Oh right, you weren't part of the party when we met her," Kazuma said, before explaining to Cremea what had occured.

"...I see..." Cremea replied, a bit skeptical. "Are you sure we can trust her?"

"I think so, I haven't heard of her causing any trouble... Other than inadvertently reanimating corpses... That's actually why we're going to see her. We need her help to create a charade to get the bandits to come out of hiding." It was funny, despite Wiz being a total babe, he had yet to get around to taking advantage of what he had written in the Note about her... Life was way too hectic for him sometimes...

"...I'll trust your judgement on this Kazuma," Cremea sighed reluctantly as they reached the shop, and went in.

"Welcome!" Wiz greeted, before pausing, recognizing four of the people. "Oh, it's you guys again!" she greeted.

"Damned undead!" Aqua roared, lunging... WHAM!!!

"Seriously Aqua, you need to learn a bit of restraint," Kazuma said casually, standing next to her as she laid on the floor, a steaming lump on her head as Wiz sweat dropped at the display.
