"Excuse me!"

You could hear someone calling out, but you weren't sure it was directed at you until you felt a hand on your shoulder. You turned around to see a boy with deep red hair and bright pink eyes smiling at you rather sheepishly.

"Sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you could help direct me? I'm looking to get to the Kiriyazaki mountain range near this village."

The boy seemed quite nice, though you couldn't help but notice his uniform and the katana on his hip.
