Tsumomo noticed the young woman's agitation and stopped to play. She slowly approached her, kneeled slowly, and looked the entire body of the youngster in a blink. She was wearing a pink dress, decorated with green lines, which formed gracious vines along the extension of the dress. She was also wearing a green scarf, had brown skin, and long black hair partially falling over her dress. The geisha looked into her eyes and softly said:
- boo.
A moment of silence took over, followed by the two women laughing.
- Hahaha! You are really amazing, Tsumomo!
- Me? Oh, do not be silly, Shia. I just do my homework.
- I am so used to see Kappe auras flowing around the room, while you do it in such a gracious way.
- Oh, Shia... - Tsumomo blushed a little bit and started serving her client something to drink. - ... How flaterring are your words. Is there someone returning you words as sweet as these? - After finished serving her, Tsumomo lifted herself and started serving drinks to the two other gentlemen in the room.
There was nothing suspect inside the room, but the geisha was interested in the teahouse owner, not in the clients. When she turned back to talk to the young in pink, she accidentally let a sip of drink fall over the dwarf, who showed his fist to the gnome. Dwarves never had the most friendly faces, and this one was using mining clothes that showed his muscles a lot.
- Are you kidding me, gnome!?
The gnome was not intimidated at all, even tough he had a smaller build than the dwarf. He used silver clothes decorated with golden strings and his black beard was a mark of his younghood. It was definitely a beard way smaller than the one the other guy had.
- Me!? That was an accident, man! You must have scared the lady with your stupid ways!
Shia laughed from the other side of the room. Tsumomo covered her face with the sleeves of the kimono like she was ashamed. The brown girl knew what was going on.
Meanwhile, in a caravan going to the city of Amaquabá, an elf was threatening a human with a knife. the very same they were using to cut the chicken they were eating.
- Hey. Hey. Someisa is powerful but she is a single person, pal. - Said the human, stading up and taking a step back.
- Yeah, Arthur, do not get yourself in a fight now! You are drunk, man! - Said the guy using earrings.
- Ah! He is a thief! Are you really standing by him!? - The guy holding the knife was not joking.
- Seriously, man!? - Said the tallest elf. - Are you really buying what this guy is saying?
- But it is true! - Gyff said. - It is because I did not brought a page from the grimoire! - He did it with a smile.
They started laughing and to sit down again, but before Arthur sat, he threw the knife at Gyff, who did a gesture with his hand and pierced the covering of the caravan by sending the knife upwards with incredible speed.
- You should calm down, lad. - And they saw Gyff with a serious expression for the first time.
The situation was tense, but the caravan did not stopped. The elves went to sleep and he was almost opening the bottle to know what was inside it. He had a single cup of beer because he always drink slowly. He was remembering his theft, his past, and how he was going to enter Amaquabá, since he was hunted down by Someisa through the entire land.

Gyff & Tsumomo #3
Tsumomo went back home. It was going to be a long and complicated night with detectives trying to solve a case that seems to bring such a small world like the Geisha`s. Arriving at her place, she stripped off her white dress, folded it, entered in a room with two wardrobes with three drawers each, and they were standing at opposite sides. The woman placed her dress in the middle drawer of the left wardrobe, where there is similar ones. She took off her underwear and carried to the next room which had a wooden bucket filled with water and a wooden mug.
There was also a crucible over a pile of wood, which she set fire by snapping her fingers. There was a line of four pots at the floor, she picked a little bit of dust that there was on the first pot and placed inside the crucible. Right after, she got water in the mug and dissolved the orange powder, that was heating while she poured water over her naked body. She snapped her fingers again to extinguish the fire and procceded to dress herself up. She opened the superior left drawer on the previous room and picked up a black kimono, decorated with a yellow butterfly in a starry night, paired up with a simple and bright white koshimaki, and a cooper colored obi. She also put on a cooper lipstick and finished everything by aromatizing herself citrically with a little bit of the crucible`s mixture.
All that procedure took long enough to the nightfall, moment in which she moved to the Gohan teahouse. It was a smaller place, in a much more reserved environment, even tough, one of her most often clients were there, in a room where they could not fit five people. A gnome and a dwarf were driking beer in the right corner of the squared room and stopped right after she crossed the room. she grabbed a guitar at the end of the room and started playing it. Some sort of calmness changed the mood of the room, even tough the woman there were looking all around, like she lost something.
Meanwhile, in a caravan going to Amaquabá, a young man, using a black jacket over a studded leather shirt, using some sort of pants and regular boots, holding a wooden flask was telling about his deeds to a group of elves.
- Then I threw myself out of the window towards the next building. It was my last chance to escape from the Academy of Someisa.
- So it is true that the great Someisa was robbed a long ago! - A taller elf using simple leather clothing said it. There was a curiously well drawn bird made with black ink on his shirt.
- Well... - Gyff took another sip of beer. - ... Nobody thought that something would happen at the class time. It was really easy.
- But what were you looking for, after all? - The same tall elf said.
- Oh, anything with her letter on it. I lost the count of how many books a paciently read and them put back to its place.
- That academy has eyes within its walls! You could not have escaped! I don`t believe you! - Said an elf with a slightly better shape than the others using an opened shirt.
- Yeah... - Gyff took another mug of beer in a single sip. - ... Maybe she captured me. You should ask her about that!
Then the very same elf drawn a knife and pointed it to Gyff.
- Do you really think that I will let a lost person like you, that offfered a single sparklyn, to climb up and insult Someisa?

Gyff & Tsumomo #2
It was the end of line for Gyff. The fire orb was illuminating a small room, with a single exit corridor, from where he just came. Whatever was behind was getting closer. Gyff went to the opposite side of the room and waited for the creature. A silver golem showed up and rushed against him with great speed.
Its speed was way smaller than the dagger wielder. The orb was at the center illuminating the entire small squared area. Gyff dodged left while the golem's arm hitted the wall. He did avoided, with mastery, the punches of the golem, while thinking on a plan to escape. Until the golem hitted the fire orb, extinguishing it, making his next punch unpredictable.
The blow knockedback Gyff against the wall at the right of the corridor. The Golem rushed on the direction of his enemy, attacking mercilessly. Just to get buried by stones. The path was free again. He soon found the exit. Now he just had to discover what was inside the flask and how much he was going to earn with this.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Tsumomo was drinking her tea while being questioned.
- Oh, Mr. Konvaa. You know that this is not something you should be asking.
- Even if I would like to pay you a visit?
- A good investigator like you know how to find me easily.
- I believe that you would be at the Yue Liang house, but I might be wrong about that...
- Just tell me what you want. You know authorities could always count with me. - Tsumomo took a bit of her tea.
- We are look for the Sparkyns thief, but we know how troublesome it is to enter a tea house.
- Oh my, have a little bit of tea, investigator. It might inspire you. - Tsumomo drinked another bit of tea.
- This is not a joke, Tsumomo.
- I know. - She complimented someone that was just passing by then turned back to the conversation.
- Will you cooperate?
Tsumomo looked briefly to Konvaa and closed her eyes slowly as she drank another bit of tea. Konvaa left the table, and the mind of the artist started working like she was playing a game of chess.

Gyff & Tsumomo #1
"I should have known that it was a trap. It is always a trap." His mind repeated at least three times while he was trying to escape that damn labyrinth. If he had a rope, or a yarn, it would be easier to find the way out. But Gyff? Gyff would lose himself on purpose.
It was dark. He wasn't really able to see the following path, even though he casted a little fire orb, he just picked directions randomly. Sometimes passing by bones on the ground. People who were there but didn't had the same luck. He was running carrying a wooden flask. And he hoped he could drink one of the best wines in his lifetime after that. The steps of some creature were mixing with his ours, and it seemed like it was getting closer.
A hand came into his direction, and he quickly dodged to the right, spinning his body like he was ready to do that beforehand. The quick, unexpected and calculated movement resulted in a well applied cut at the upcoming minotaur's throat. The dagger Gyff was carrying is his right hand was quite simple, even though you could see the Letters "N.S." carved on the blade. The spinning made him able to throw his enemy's body over his shoulder after that fatal blow.
Allowing him to keep at his pace before the thing chasing him entered in reach.
Meanwhile, somewhere else in the world, specifically at a town named Amaquabá. A lady dressed in a long white dress with sweet pink petals drawn over it drinking tea in a local cafeteria, but on a table outside the shop. She carefully poured the liquid in her cup, while looking to the few trees blooming around. She would look like a statue to make the place beautiful if she wasn't moving.
- Ms. Tsumomo, would you like more tea? - Someone said from the inside of the shop.
- It is not as necessary as you coming here appreciate the beauty of your own trees, Mr. Wing.
- It is not as necessary as you coming here appreciate the beauty of your own trees, Mr. Wing.
The day seemed to be starting. People opened their windows to enjoy the light of the day and the fresh air. The place quickly crowded and people seemed frustrated for not being able to get a table. Wing took the orders while Tsumomo attracted people's curious eyes. Several women complimented her since she was sitting next to the street.
A man with pointy ears, well dressed in formal clothes, including a red cape sat by the same table she was without asking for permission, like she was already waiting for him. He looked at her with his blue eyes and asked away:
- So, in which house you will be tonight?
