Kosuke
"Nice to meet you. I'm Kosuke, a new adventurer. I think these guys should leave you alone for a while, so... you should be able to get some peace and quiet now. Please take care", he said warmly.

"Wait." She said grabbing your arm. "I'm new in town, and I don't really know my way around."

Kosuke
The young man paused, biting his lower lip. "...I wish I could help with that, but I'm about just as new as you are", he admitted. "I arrived just yesterday, I barely know which way I arrived here from. But... I do know someone who might be able to help you? ...I know a woman from the Adventurers' Guild who seems very knowledgeable in general, maybe she could help you out. I could introduce you to her?" he suggested.

"Oh, okay." She said as Anna, and Celia arrived both looking at the kimono-clad woman with a mix of suspicion and annoyance.

Kosuke
Kosuke raised an eyebrow, unsure of why the two girls were looking at the other girl in such an unwelcoming manner. Still, given his own limited knowledge of the customs in the area, he just chalked it off to people being wary of strangers in general... with him being an exception for saving Anna and Celia's lives in the first place.
"Ah, good morning, Celia-san. I was just about to introduce Sou'da-san here to Azalia-san, since she doesn't really know much about this town either", he explained.

"I see... Well we really don't have time for that so let's go-" Anna says as she reaches to grab your arm, only for her attempted grip to somehow be reversed and sent back into Celia. "The hell."
"Sorry... It's a spell I know called Deflect... It sends any attack at me or those close to me in a different direction." Sou'da said.

This time, the nature of the situation did not escape his notice.
"...Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's going on here?" he asked Anna. "A couple of minutes ago, you were literally recoiling away from me for offering you to join me using one of my powers, because it felt too personal. Sure, okay. Understandable. And yet now, a girl I met touches my arm and suddenly 'we don't have time for that', even though I downright just became an adventurer last evening, have no job going on at the moment and am in no sort of emergency whatsoever?" he pointed out.
"What's the matter, Anna-san? ...It's not like I'm going away forever, and we literally just met less than 24 hours earlier. Why are you so possessive? ...We're not going on a date, I'm just helping her like you girls helped me", he pointed out, before glancing at Sou'da. "...Also, I'll take my arm back, please", he said to Sou'da, pulling said arm back, not wanting to further irritate the vampire huntress he hoped to befriend. 7 in Social Skills to try to defuse whatever's going on here.

Both girls backed away somewhat embarrassed.
"I suppose it can't hurt if we all went down to the Guild together." Celia said. "We do need to take a new job anyway."

"Yes, let's do that", the young man agreed as he began walking over to the guild. "There's no need for hostility between any of us, so let's just try to all get along, okay? ...I always help people out, that's kind of my thing. And last I checked, you sure welcomed it when I showed up to deal with those goblins, Anna-san", he said, smiling. "So don't worry. I'm still hoping I can make friends out of us", he added to lighten the situation up.
"So now let's find Azalia-san, get a new job, and get Sou'da-san some info about this town." 3 in Intelligence to look around for Azalia.

You find her back at the Guild with no problems.

Kosuke
"Ah, good morning Azalia-san. I was wondering if we'd be too early. I hope you had a good night of sleep?", Kosuke said with a cheerful tone, giving her time to answer and exchange polite small talk before moving on.
"...By the way, I met this young lady, Sou'da-san, this morning", he explained, leaving out the rescuing part, as he had never been one to brag, instead letting his actions talk for themselves. "...she told me that she was new in town and could use some help around town, but... given that I just arrived yesterday myself, I was hoping that perhaps you could either give her some pointers, or direct her to someone else who could, if you would be so kind", he said simply. 7 in Social Skills (Kind and honest, Persuade) to ask for Azalia's help in the matter.

She looks at the woman. "Well I have to admit this is a bit out of our jurisdiction... But if you want, you can make a request for a member of the guild to show you around town for a small fee."
"I don't think I have much money to spare, would five silver coins do?" The woman asked.
Azalia shook her head. "I wish I could help, I really do, but the Guild is a business, and we can't just help someone for free."
"If I can't pay with money, how about with services." Sou'da said.
"I beg your pardon, I don't know what you think of Guilds, but we can't trade sex for-"
"NOT THAT!!!" She cried going red. "I mean how about I join their party, and help out until I earn enough to pay them... I have a deflection spell, that should be useful to someone."

Kosuke
On one hand, Kosuke almost wanted to pay for the young woman who was clearly in need of monetary support. On the other, were he in her place, he would never accept charity if he had the opportunity to work for it, and he didn't want to insult her honor.
"What one brings to the table doesn't matter, as long as it's their all", Kosuke said with a smile. "...But, wait, just to clarify, are we actually a party here? I know Anna-san and Celia-san are a team, but nobody said I was officially part of it. I just came to this town with them because I didn't know where the closest town was", he pointed out. "I was going to offer my services, but we had yet to discuss this."

"Well if they're not I'll gladly accompany you alo-."
"He is!" They both yelled before blushing a bit.

Kosuke
The young man paused, raising an eyebrow, a bit puzzled by women's reactions around him in this world. For some reason, he was much more popular with the few girls he had met so far than he was with those in his world before he died, and he was basically a nobody in this one, so he didn't even have fame going for him there. He had indeed put some points into his general charisma and social interraction skills, but not that many, right? ...Or maybe Asian young men were more popular in this world than in his own?
Whatever the reason, he shrugged and smiled. "...O... Okay then. Well, if that's settled... what about you, Azalia-san? Wanna come with us, or are you bound by your guild duties? You look like you know your way around an adventure or two", he suggested. "Is five a good number for a party of adventurers?"
