- “How about we skip the DM and use something else; like a battle rifle instead?”
- “What’s a battle rifle?” Okuu asked.
- You didn’t reply to that, instead you pulled your standard issue SCAR-H from your back. You only turned the safety off, since the rifle has already been chambered when you met Utsuho the hell raven few hours ago.
- “My third leg looks much better than that.”
- “At least you don’t have to worry about reloading.”
- “Unyu?”
- Orin looks a bit disappointed. “Aw, oh well. A battle rifle would do just fine.” She then calls upon a number of zombie fairies alongside her. “Since this is your first danmaku battle, we’ll go easy on you mister!”
- “Yeah, I hope I don’t get blown to oblivion by your friend over there when you’re trying to take it easy.” You muttered, referring to Utsuho. You took the helmet on the care package that you have neglected earlier today, before you strapped them on to your head (where else?).
- “Shall we start then?”
- “Alright, let’s do this.”
- As you aimed down your Red Dot Sight, you
- ---
- “Ok, folks. Sorry to interrupt your drinks and stuff, but I have to close early for an event at Satori’s place.”
- “Oh great. I just ordered my food.” One of your customers groaned, as he finished his sake cup. “Put the food on tabs, I’ll pay it tomorrow.”
- “Here you go.” One of your customers put a few coins on the counter. “Keep the change. Have a nice day, Yamame.”
- “Yeah, you too.”
- When all of your customers had walked out of the bar, you spent a few minutes cleaning up. After it’s all done, you walked out of your liquor shop to lock the doors while bring along a wooden bucket with you. From the point where you are standing now, you can see the Palace of Earth Spirits very clearly. For some reason though, you can see that the rooftop of the palace is somewhat lively with danmaku. You can also see lines of fire shooting out to the top of the cave in bursts.
- “Well, what do you know? Someone’s starting up a danmaku battle at Chireiden. Let’s go, Kisume.”
- A head popped out of the bucket you are holding in your arms. The green haired girl inside it nodded once, before held on the bucket’s rims.
- “Hang on tight. We’re flying high.” You said to your companion in the wooden bucket before you took off.
- ---
- “Ha, ha! You missed!” Okuu taunted as she evaded the bullets you fired at her.
- It seems like at first few minutes you were doing well at attacking them, but now you’re missing every shot you fire. You had spent quite a while dodging bullets and shooting back at them with your battle rifle.
- Even though both the kasha and the hell raven have large gaps in their patterns, you seem to have trouble dodging them most of them due to the fact that you are mostly grounded. They are not using their spellcards just yet, but somehow this had proven to be tough for you.
- Orin have been using her zombie fairy friends to shoot out danmaku, while Okuu had been shooting small balls of energy out of her arm cannon, or her third leg.
- [i]“If this keeps up I’m going to run out of bullets…”[/i] You shrugged that thought off and kept firing at the two in bursts until the rifle dryfires.
- “Changing mag!” You yelled, shaking out the empty magazine out of your SCAR-H before you inserted a fresh one. However, Orin used this chance to bombard you with her zombie fairies.
- The fairies charged at you in a speed that you didn’t have time to switch to your sidearm or even reload cancel, and they managed to down you on the floor. You had also lost your grip of your SCAR-H when you were charged into.
- “Alright, Okuu. That’s enough.” Orin said which made her hell raven companion lower her arm cannon. “Come on, mister, you should do better than just dodging and hip-firing~!”
- “Well, I’m trying to get into the game actually.” The zombie fairies that charged into you laid themselves right next to you. The one you saw earlier today can be seen lying on your head. “Can you get them off me? I can’t stand up.”
- The kasha smiled as she claps her hands thrice. By doing so, she attracted the zombie fairies’ attention. “Come on guys. You all have something else to do.”
- Yamame landed right next to your body. “My, my. What do we have here? Busy doing something, my little Seo?”
- “More like busy trying to get up in the first place.”
- “Well, up you go then.”
- “Ah! Yamame! So nice to see you around!” Orin gave the spider woman a big hug. “Did you bring Kisume along?”
- “Sure, I di-” Before Yamame could even finish her sentence, she heard something snap.
- “Eek!”
- “MISTER! LOOK OUT!” Orin yelled as she ran towards your position.
- However, instead of dodging, you stared right up and then all can you hear is…
- [b]CRACK[/b]
- Then everything went black for you.
- “Ouch.” Yamame cringed.
- ---/Few minutes later/---
- When your vision returned to normal, you are greeted by the face of a green-haired girl in a bucket, Yamame, Orin and Okuu.
- “Are you okay, Seo?” Yamame asked.
- “I don’t think so… What the heck happened?”
- “Kisume’s rope broke when I was going to lower her down slowly. She’s a bit shy to meet a stranger, like you, Seo.”
- You touched your head and you pelt the helmet is still there, not even a dent could be felt.
- “I guess the helmet saved me from coma for today.”
- “I’m sorry…” Kisume muttered while she’s trying to hide in her bucket.
- The girl looked so cute; you could pass out again with her cuteness. [i]”How adorable.”[/i]
- “Seo, can you do me a favor?”
- “Sure. What is it?” You asked as Yamame helped you to get up again. Then, the spider woman lifted Kisume’s bucket by its handle, before she held it to pass it over to you. “You want me to carry her?”
- “Sure thing. Don’t worry, she’s not as heavy as you think.” She assured. At this point, you took the bucket. “Up you go, girl.” Yamame said as you lifted Kisume’s bucket to your head. “Now watch your head, Kisume. You too, Seo.”
- “You don’t have to remind me though. I got enough self-inflicted and environmental headshots for the day.”
- Orin and Okuu laughed heartily when they heard your response. You could only roll your eyes away in irritation.
- ---
- “Looks like everyone is gathered here, yes? I like the way this dinner turned out to be a small and impromptu feast.” Satori said as she saw you running down the stairs with Kisume’s bucket in your hands and Yamame following suit in a distance.
- “We can make it to celebrate a new family member!” Yuugi laughed. “Right, Parsee?”
- “Whatever.” She said with a sour face.
- “Come on, don’t be like that. I mean, it’s not always we have a human living around here.”
- ---
- “CHEERS!”
- “CHEERS!”
- All of them present in the dining hall raised their glasses and bottles to the air before they drank their liquor. You drank a little, but Satori had to drink more than a cup since her pets keep pouring sake into her cup.
- “Up and at ‘em.” You muttered, hauling Satori up in your arms in a bridal catch. “Ma’am, you’re heavy.”
- “Just… bring along Okuu and Orin here…” She said weakly. “Sorry for troubling you, Fujisaki…”
- “It’s okay.”
- When you are at the dining hall, you saw Yuugi with Satori’s pets over her shoulders. “Need a hand?” The oni offered. Looks like you don’t need to make two return trips to carry them upstairs.
- “Yes, please.” You said. “Please bring the two of them to Satori’s room, Yuugi.”
- “Sure thin’.”
- “Think we’d be off from here as well.” Yamame said, kissing your forehead. “My shop will be open until midnight, if you need any advice, just head over there.”
- “Got it.” You said while blushing slightly.
- “See you soon.” Yamame then walked away and waved goodbye at you with Kisume’s bucket handle in her left hand. The poor girl had been drunk since Yuugi deliberately filled her bucket with a large amount of strong sake.
- Back at Satori’s bedroom, Yuugi slowly placed the kasha and the hell raven next to their master. You and Yuugi took off their shoes and threw them at a corner before both of you pulled the blanket over their body, so that they would be warmed up in midst the night’s cold. Yuugi later left the room, closing the door shut.
- “Well then, I think that’s it for today now.”
- “Yeah.” You said. “Wait, what about Parsee?”
- “I’ll carry her to home. No worries.”
- “If you say so, then.”
- And then, Yuugi left you alone, as she disappeared down the stairs.
- ---
- “…”
- The room was hot and stuffy. You sure you had put the ceiling fan on, but yet…
- Wait a moment.
- There’s something on you.
- Trying not to panic, you
- What else did you feel?
- [] Something furry and fluffy, and are those feathers too?
- [] Something with a hairband with a heart on it. There’s also a hat with a ribbon on it.
- What would you do?
- [] Go back to sleep.
- [] Slip out of the bed.
- [] Wake them up.
