Hayato moves behind one of the trees and sneaks towards the source to see if he can get observe what's going on.

Eventually he makes it to the edge of the forest. Before him are wheat fields running along rolling plains. The landscape is dotted with windmills every few miles.
He sees several men in what appears to be Chain mail armor carrying bows. They seem to be shouting at the lone FSA mech that is towering above them. The cockpit is open and the pilot is visible. It appears to be a young woman with short green hair.
The woman seems to be yelling at them. "For the last time this is not a monster you idiots! Now leave me alone!"
One of the men steps forward. "Do not worry milady! We will fell this foul abomination!
He fires and arrow that promptly bounces off the armor of the mech.
The woman seems to become angrier. "Hey ASS! If you ding my mech I will step on you! Do you hear me! Squishy Squishy!"

Hayato muffles a groan as he shakes his head in annoyance.
"I don't believe this...." he grumbled. Reluctently, he makes his way over to the scuffle, hoping to clear up this misunderstanding.

Several arrows hit the armor of the mech bouncing off.
The woman's right eye begins to twitch. She pulls out a cartridge and rams it home into her Mechs rifle.
"That's it! Shoot one more arrow and I blow all of you into chunks!"

Hayato appears beside the men in chainmail and throws his arm in front of them in an attempt to halt their firing.
"You keep this up, you'll expel all your arrows." he said.

The man in front blinks. "Some sort of sorcerer? Be you evil or be you good warlock?"

Hayato turns to the man, keeping a calm, natural face, "I am but a mere traveller passing through here when I came upon this startling sight."
He looks between the men and the mech they were trying to ambush, "I couldn't help but notice that your bravery has blinded you into ignoring the words of this supposed 'damsil in distress' and choosing to attack, what you believe, is a monster that is trying to swallow her up. But I can assure you this monster means no harm as long as she is in control of it."

"Then..... the woman is some sort of witch!"
The man turn and points at the woman.
"Kill the wi...!"
Before he can even finish the sentence the woman shoots her rifle blowing a huge chunk out of the ground in front of the man.
The man, still pointing, looks terrified.
The woman smiles. "OK lets nip that problem in the bud shall we?"

Hayato slaps his forehead in frustration.
"You're not helping yourself...!" he growled.

She aims her rifle at Hayato. "You going to call me a witch and attack me as well?"

Hayato turns to the woman, trying to keep as calm as possible.
"Lady, if you shut up for JUST a second, not only will you be able to leave this planet with you and your mech still in one piece, but these nice, innocent men over here will know that your nation means to cause them no trouble, nor malice."

She raises an eyebrow. "I don't think your one of the locals are.."
Another arrow hits her mech.
She aims her rifle at the men.
"Who did it!?"
All the men point at a single guy who turn around and runs.

Hayato exhales sharply, further frustrated.
"Alright, that's enough, all of you," he turns to the men surrounding the mech, "If you want to prevent a war from starting over a dumb, stupid misunderstanding, heed my words and leave this woman alone. She, nor the nation she hails from will cause you all no harm if you will let them observe this planet in peace."

None of them seem to understand. One of the men speaks up.
"She is from another kingdom? I have not seen a woman with such clothes in all my life."

Hayato scratches the back of his head, "I...have seen kingdoms that seldom fuss over how a man and woman should dress. To them, a simple pair of pants and a t-shirt is seen as appropriate attire for either gender."
