Chapter 1: The Manticore rises
A lone traveler wandered along a beaten down trail located within a serene forest. He had hazel brown hair while also having emerald green eyes he whistled with his eyes closed thinking of how he and his friends would be heroes to their village however, he and his friends got seperated due to a group of bandits attacking them. He knew they were okay since like him they knew how to fight and can easily defend themselves.
However he was unaware that those exact same bandits had been tailling him the entire time staying hidden until they had the perfect opportunity to attack him. The traveler walked for a few hours until he came across a deep cave, he knew better than to enter because a danger beast may call it home. However, before he turned he swore he heard someone say his name from within the cave in a demonic yet patriotic voice. However it was then the bandits decided to attack him, they emerged from the shrubbery and all went to slash at him.
But to their dismay he barley avoided them and jumped back drawing his own sword. "You guys again!" he shouted in surprise.
All the bandits laughed as their eyes shone with evil intent, before all lunging at him forcing the traveller into the cave, he fought valiantly however the sheer numbers were overwhelming him and he made a decision to run deeper into the cave in hope to either lose them, find an exit or both.
He dashed through the unending darkness hoping he would see light however his hope shattered when he stopped at a steep descent into nothingness. Suddenly and arrow was shot and sunk deep into his back just missing his heart, causing him to cough up alot of blood. He turned to see the bandits gloating, "Well well well, looks like your luck has run out twerp" one of the bandits taunted while examining his sword.
The traveler looked back at the cliff then back at the bandits, "We'll see" he told them before leaping off the cliff tot he bandits surprise.
He started fall praying to the deity that his village worshipped that he'd get out of this alive. When the ground returned under his feet it took a bit of willpower to get back up and tried deeper into the cave. His vision however was blurring due to blood loss and ended up collapsing near a surprisingly flat rock formation. Suddenly the voice he heard before called his name yet again.
"TATSUMI" it boomed.
Lazily he looked around only to see the flat rock formation had a gaunlet the was a shade of purple so dark it could be black with golden sections inbetween the joints, it suddenly levitated in the air. "...TATSUMI, I AM THE TEIGU INDESTURCTIBLE ARMORY: SHEILDMORY, YOU ARE A KIND HEARTED INDIVIDUAL WHOSE WILLING TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF TO PROTECT THISE CLOSE TO YOU YOU ARE WORTHY TO WEILD ME. HOWEVER YOU ARE CLOSE TO PASSING, IF YOU CHOOSE TO WEILD ME I CAN SAVE YOU BUT FOR A COS..." The voice didn't even get to finish due to Tatsumi grabbing the gaunlet and pulling it on his left wrist without thinking, he didn't care wha the cost was he would gladly accept it if he would live to make sure his friends are safe.
Suddenly the gaunlet suddenly grew in his hand and a jaggered and spike armor started to appear and encase him within, however something else was happening, not only was he being encased in this odd armor it was also becoming part of his actual being, fusing with him. This caused him great pain, once the armor fully formed did it cease, Tatsumi was surprised that he was able to get up so easily, he also seemed to realise he was much taller, he now was standing around nine foot tall but also he legs had altered in shape the parts on his feet and hands were wider and clawed, the helmet was similar in appearance to incursio's however is seemed more like a demonic lion than a dragon, with a golden fur mane surrounding his neck, the head crest pure gold, it had two seperate eye colours one being green while the other purple both glowing but also a glowing purple symbol on his chest which looked like a lion's skull with dragon wings behind it and a scorpion tail. "Wh-what happened?" Tatsumi asked himself.
"YOU BULL HEADED FOOL, IF YOU LET ME FINISH YOU WOULD HAVE KNOW THE COST WAS THAT I WOULD FUSE WITH YOU".
"WHAT!" Tatsumi shouted.
Suddenly sounds were coming in the direction Tatsumi came from, "SOUNDS LIKE WE'VE GOT COMPANY" Sheildmory warned Tatsumi who turned to see the bandits from before, they all stopped to see the demonic behemoth that stood before them, they all began backing away.
Tatsumi chuckled, "Not so confident now are we" he taunted, suddenly two sections in his back opened up steam erupting from them as two sword hilts shot out, on instinct Tatsumi grabbed them and pulled out two enormous swords (They look like Ainz's swords from Overlord), he then charged at them slicing them up one by one while Sheilmory warned him on anyone who managed to get behind not that it mattered since all the attacked deflected of the armour. Once the last bandit laid dead on the ground Tatsumi palced the swords back in their slots before trying to climb out, which was a challend in it's self since the cliff wall struggled to hold up with the armours weight which Tatsumi couldn't notice.
After a few attempts he managed to climb out of the pit and began making his way towards the entrance, however as he got towards the exit he felt a cold prescence as he got closer, only when he exited did he see an entire army at the entrance along with a woman with blue hair with eyes to match on a horse, they all turned in surprise to see Tatsumi who was standing there in surprise. "You" the woman demanded, "Who are you and how are you in possesion of that teigu".
Tatsumi couldn't find the words since the woman radiated danger "Uh...I uh"
Shieldmory sighed due to his wielders fear and suddenly took control the green eye turned purple matching the other eye showing he was in control, "EXCUSE MY WIELDER HE'S A LITTLE...IDIOTIC, HIS NAME IS TATSUMI AND HE IS FUSED WITH ME THE INDESTRUCTIBLE ARMOURY: SHEILDMORY".
The woman looked an the armour seeing that the eyes were moving like normal eyes scanning their situation, "Explain why you are fused with him" she asked.
"HE WAS BEING CHASED BY BANDITS INTO THIS CAVE RIGHT HERE. HE GOT MAJORLY WOUNDED WHEN HE FOUND ME I FUSED WITH HIM TO SAVE HIS LIFE" the eye then turned green again, Tatsumi grabbed his head due to a headache that had setted.
For a while everyone was silent, "You will come with me" the woman demanded, this made Tatsumi back away.
"Uh sorry but I have other plans" just as he said that sections in his arms extended as barrels of gun appeared before firing at the woman and her army.
The woman got out the way of the hail fo bullets, however the soldiers weren't so lucky and got shredded. The woman expression changed from the neutral yet cold expression to a more sadistic look, "If you won't come willingly" suddenly thousands of icicle spears appeared out of nowhere, "I'll have to break you".
All the spears then jetted towards Tatsumi at the velocity that a bullet would, he retracted his guns and used his arms to shield his upper portion of his body. The icicle spears riddled his body, although none penetrated his armour, he still felt the impacts.
A twitch appeared in the womans left eye, "How annoying" she then drew her rapier and charged at Tatsumi who was unprepared for the sudden attack.
She kicked him in the chest sending him flying into a rock which shattered on impact. Tatsumi slowly got up before he drew his swords before charging at her swinging aimlessly hoping that it would be harder to block since they were random. However the woman blocked ever strike although from her expression she was feeling the force behind the swings, then Tatsumi managed to do something that shocked everyone there he actually managed to attack with such force that he made her stagger and made an he found an opening to slash at his foe who managed to dodge it but not before recieving a large cut across her right eye however her eye wasn't hurt, suddenly a pillar of ice suddenly burst from beneath below Tatsumi sending him through the air then came crashing down with the force of a meteor, before he got up the soldiers suddenly began to hold him in place, he tried to move but the high number of soldiers holding him down was making it hard.
The woman began walking towards him with a look that could melt steel with her rapier ready, Sheildmory suddenly spoke up, "TATSUMI YOUR TRUMP CARD IS READY"
"My what?"
Sheildmory just sighed before taking control again, suddenly the helmet's lower half split as if it had a jaw and a purple and gold ball of energy was building up, "TRUMP CARD: REFLECTIONS DEVESTATION" he roared as he fired a huge beam of energy, but not at the woman no, he aimed right at his feet causing a huge explosion that rocket him out of danger while also vapourising the soldiers holding him and making a smokescreen to hide his escape.
When the smoke cleared the woman saw that he had escaped she screamed at the sky as he had escaped her, that was until she saw the smoke trail, she smiled, "Looks like I'll have fun breaking 'them' when I catch them" she sheathed her raiper before turning to her men "My beasts your mission is to capture this 'Tatsumi' alive so I can personally torture him".
Three males stepped forward, on elderly yet war hardened with grey hair mustache and beard, another much bulkier and younger yet wielded a unique battle axe, the last one was obviously the youngest and had horns and a tail reminisant of a devil weilding a flute. "It will be done Lady Esdeath" the elderly man said before all three ran in the direction of the trail.
As he flew in the sky Tatsumi was given back control, he noticed his situation and began panicing as he began to rocket towards the ground.
"Did you think this through?" asked Tatsumi who postioned himself so he sky diving.
"UH...NO..."
"Great..."
OOOOOOO
Below Tatsumi
OOOOOOO
Two individuals were walking by talking to each other, one female with black hair with a flower in her hair weilding a bow, while the other male also with black hair wielding an axe. "Well..." the male said "What are we doing again?".
The female stopped a artery expanded on her forhead before smacking him behind the head, "Leyasu I told you this 5 minutes ago we are heading to the captial and hopefully Tatsumi will be there"
"I'd wish you'd stop doing that Sayo" he said while holding a smoking injury.
"Then stop being annoying" that's when something flashing in the sky catching her eye.
"LEYASU DUCK!" she shouted while tackling him as the object blasted past them and crashed through a few trees a few feet away from where they were standing.
Both of them looked in the general direction of the impact drawing their weapons, "Was that a danger beast?" Leyasu asked.
Suddenly a figure arose from the dust metal creaking and straining before collapsing again. The startled Leyasu and Sayo showing the figures two glowing yet exhausted eyes looking at them causing them to back off slightly.
"...Leyasu...Sayo...?" It asked slowly trying to get back up only to get itself into a sitting postion against a tree that managed to survive the impact, "Is...that...you?" its head lowered slowly.
The voice hit them both like a tonne of bricks, they lowered their weapons and looked at each other, "I am not hearing things right?" Leyasu asked.
Sayo turned back to the slouched behemoth before kneeling beside it, "Is it really you Tatsumi", in response it nodded weakly.
She was silent for a second, dropping her bow and enveloped Tatsumi in a hug , he weakly lifted an arm and weakly patted her gentle an the back.
Leyasu was till in shock their friend now this metal monster, however this sharpened his hearing allowing him to hear three other individuals coming this way, he readied his axe, "Someones coming" he told Sayo while turning in the direction.
Then Esdeath's beasts emerged from the shrubbery and noticed the two teens alongside their target who seemed to have had a rough landing. "Ah seems that are target has further injured themselves...and found company" The elderly man then looked at Sayo who had grabbed her bow and Leyasu who had his axe ready.
"Allow us to take this enemy to the empire, he needs to be judged for attacking Lady Esdeath" he continued putting his arms behind his back his ally's preparing to attack if necessary.
Tatsumi couldn't bare the fact that his friends were in trouble he forced himself to get up, the creaking metal getting everyone's. "Leave...them...alone..." he weakly said as he took a step forward.
"Looks like this lion still has some pride" the little demon joked as he placed his flute to his lips and began to play.
Sayo and Leyasu passed out not long after he began to play, leaving Tatsumi the last one standing, shocking both himself and the three beasts for seperate reasons. "What...did...you DO!" Tatsumi demanded but only was hit wth an axe knocking him to the ground, "Pity if you were at full strength I would get a bunch of experience for this" the bearded man said as he then knocked Tatsumi out with the hilt of his axe, "So what now Liver, we've done our mission what about these two".
"Hmm" Liver rubbed his bearded chin as he thought.
"I say just kill them" the demon putting his thought on the matter.
"No! We should take them with us this person would be much more cooperative if we have them".
However as they talked they were unaware of a pair of red eyes and a pair of black eyes watching them from the shadows.
"We need to tell the others" one of them said before they both left.
OOOOOOOOOO
Capital dungeons
OOOOOOOOOO
Tatsumi slowly woke up to total darkness, his only light was the dim glow of his eyes.
"GOOD YOUR AWAKE" Sheildmory suddenly spoke up.
"Where are we?" He went to move only to find something was restraining him, he began pulling trying to move again however lights suddenly flared to life blinding Tatsumi momentarily.
"You are in Lady Esdeath's personal prison" the bearded man with the axe was standing there with a smug look on his face.
Rage took hold of Tatsumi who tried to charge at the guy only for what's restraining him to hold him back, this caused the man to laugh. "Yeah keep trying, it's like those chains would break anyway, they are strong enough to hold a AA danger beast".
Tatsumi stopped not averting his gaze from the man, "Where are my friends?!" he demanded.
"Oh the other two that were with you, well they are here however if they live or die is up to you".
"What!?"
He smirked, "you see if you pledge your loyalty to Lady Esdeath you will be reunited with them unharmed, however if you refuse theu will die and you'll remain here until she returns until she decides what she does with you".
Tatsumi's glowing eyes widened, "You...YOU MONSTERS!"
The man laughed again, "Says the man fused with his teigu, you'll have until morning to decide" the man then left.
Tatsumi was silent for a good minute until letting out a roar that shook the very cell he was in causing crack to appear in the stone and dust to fall on his armour.
Outside the building the guards were doing their patrols, "Did you hear about the new prisoner that the three beasts brought in today" on told the other.
"No I haven't just got on duty earlier why?"
"Well rumor has it that the prisoner here actually managed to injure Esdeath, can you believe it"
"Sounds like nonsnse to me who could anyone even scratch her even Budo couldn't".
Just then three figures descended from above, the two pinning the guards to the ground were identical however one had red eyes longer hair while the other had black eyes and shorter hair. "So if what you are saying is true, he could be useful to us how about you tell us where he is and your death will be painless" the third one also femal however older with blonde hair and had very revealing clothing.
However one of the guards managed to call out to the other guards, "NIGHTRAIDS HERE!" which lead to both guards being killed.
"Well then lets see if we can find him"
Back with Tatsumi he was staring at the floor thinking over what the man said to him, 'If I refuse they'll kill Sayo and Leyasu...hell they might even track down their village and murder them as well, is joining all I can do' he thought to himself. "IN THE SHORT TIME I KNOWN YOU I NEVER PEGGED YOU AS A QUITTER" Sheildmory suddenly spoke up, "What" Tatsumi snapping out of his thoughts.
"TATSUMI WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK ON THAT ICE DEMON YOU FROZE IN FEAR YET YOU STILL FOUGHT AGAINST HER, YET YOU ARE GIVING UP HERE. YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR FRIENDS YOU GOT TO BREAK OUT".
"YOUR RIGHT!" he started to pull on the chains "I!" the chains started to creak, "WON'T. ALLOW. THEM. TO DIE!" The chains snapped from the strain he put on them.
A guard came round the corner to see Tatsumi had escaped "A PRISONER HAS ES-ack!", Tatsumi had grabbed one of the chains and used it as a whip and wrapped it around the guards neck and yanked him towards him before smashing his head to pieces with a single punch. More soldiers came running in, "WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS" Tatsumi demanded, the killing intent was radiating off him, "TELL US NOW".
The guards were definatly scared they were shaking so violently, however they stayed, "NOONES GOING TO TELL ME FINE".
Tatsumi charged at the guards who knew they had to fight for even a chance of survival, Tatsumi didn't use any of his weapons he used his clawed hands instead the first guard that got in his way immediatly had his torso split in half followed by another guard being thorwn across the room splatting against the wall. The rest of the guards decided to retreat after seeing what he could do, however one guard couldn't get away since Tatsumi used the chain from before and laching it on the guard and pulling him back this time grabbing him by the throat, "Now one last time...Where...ARE...THEY".
The guard squirmed tears pouring out of the guards eyes, "Ok ok, they are on the upper levels in one of the spires, Please let me live".
Tatsumi release his iron grip on the guard before charging through a wall looking for a way out, leaving the guard in an emotional mess. Outside however the trio had been caught up in the guards that appeared due to the guards earlier calling out and were getting overrun, "Uh although this is fun I'm starting to get tired" her partners however remained silent.
The hordes of soldiers just kept on coming, "This person better be wor-" she was interuptted when the wall near her suddenly burst open, the rubble crushed and injured the soldiers around them.
Everyone stopped to see Tatsumi emerging from the dust cloud the moonlight shimmering off his armor he scanned the area seeing all the surprised faces starring at him, "Please don't stop on my account" he joked. He looked to see one of the 3 spires that dotted the place before charging through all the soldiers sending them flying.
When he reached one of the spires he used the momentum he gained to leap up onto the wall digging his clawed fingers into the stone surface and scaled the surface as if he was a spider stopping at each window before rocketing up to the next one, on the ground the trio that came to bust him out only watched to see him in action, the tallest one only smirked, "Oh he's definately worth it" she muttered to herself before returning her attention to the rattled battalion.
Tatsumi scaled up the spire until he found his friends they were also chained up by their wrist both heads towards the ground, Tatsumi grabbed the barred window with one hand and ripped the entire wall off dropping in while calling out "LOOK OUT BELOW!", before he climbed in to help his friend who had jumped in surprise due to the wall suddenly disappearing.
"Tatsumi?!" they both asked in surprise.
"The one and only" he replied while smiling behind the helmet, "Now lets get you out of these chains".
Tatsumi started with Sayo, he gently grabbed her by her handcuff and snapped the chains off that were attached, he was moving on to Leyasu to do the same, when something big hit him smack on the head and ricoheted back to the throw. "Well, well, well looks like I will get experience points after all" it was one of the three beasts weilding his double-sided axe.
Tatsumi's eyes flared with anger, "Oh I'm going to enjoy throwing you off this spire" he told him in a murderous tone, scaring both Leyasu and Sayo.
"TATSUMI HE'S NOT ALONE" Sheildmory suddenly called out.
An arrow was suddenly shot at him which exploded on impact forcing him to back up. The man smiled "Oh you thought I'd stupidly fight the one who could put Lady Esdeath on the defensive alone?"
"Ah you never know Daidara, you always seem to pick on people stronger than you" a female jumped fromt he rafters on the ceiling, she was blonde and was wearing light leather armor and was weilding an fiery orange bow that had eagle like head at the ends, "Then again you don't always think things through".
Daidara put his axe on his shoulder and groans "Lets just beat this guy, put him in stronger chains and kill his friends infront of him to teach him not to disobey"
Tatsumi turned to Sayo, "Sayo... I'll hold them off you get Leyasu out of those chains".
Sayo nodded before grabbing a decent sized rock before making her way to Leyasu. Tatsumi prepared to fight when Sheildmory spoke up, "TATSUMI HOW ABOUT I DEAL WITH THEM? I'LL MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOU PROMISE TO THAT GUY".
Tatsumi laughed, "Alright knock yourself out" with that Tatsumi's green eye changed flared purple before Sheildmory took over and got onto all fours.
"What are you going to beg like a good dog?" Daidara laughed.
Sheildmory just looked at him with a murderous look, "NO... JUST GETTING READY" he then suddenly pounced at his target his clawed fingers extended primed to tear his opponent.
Daidara barely managed to block the attack. His cocky expression was gone, replaced with utter shock. He was barely holding Sheildmory back only to be save by his ally shooting more explosive arrows getting his attention, which lead to Daidara being able to connect a hit with his axe on Sheildmory only for it to bounce off.
Sheildmory actually growled, "YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT WOULD OF WORKED?"
Suddenly another arrow was shot, however this time the lower half of the helmet opened and slammed shut on the arrow catching it before snapping it in half. "THAT IS GETTING ANNOYING".
He pounced at the archer grabbing her by the throat, "How can *ack* you move so fast?" she asked.
Sheildmory said nothing as he heard Daidara behind him splitting his axe in two, "Try and catch this" he called out as he threw one half like a sharp frizbee.
"DON'T NEED TO" he told him before he shifted the archer in the path of the axe. The axe sunk deep into her back forcing her to cough up alot of blood over his armor before the fire in her eyes were snuffed out forever.
Daidara just stood there in utter shock "He-he just used her as a sheild with no remorse" he mutter to himself, he didn't have time to recover for Sheildmory grabbed his axe and and tore it clean off before grabbing his neck.
He then walked over to the hole Tatsumi made earlier, then held the bearded man over the courtyard, "LIKE MY WEILDER SAID, WE'LL ENJOY THROWING YOU OFF THIS SPIRE", Daidara began begging and pleading, however Sheildmory bringed him to his armored face, "YOU ATTACKED MY WEILDERS FAMILY, YOU DON'T DESERVE MERCY" he then let go and watched as the man fell hundereds of feet to the ground until he became a red mess on the soil.
Sudden he felt the eyes of Sayo and Leyasu, he turned to see a terried Sayo and a now freed Leyasu/looking at him, he returned control to Tatsumi, who held his head for the headache that settled in, "Heh sorry you had to see that" he apologized.
He looked at the axe and bow that belong to his now deceased foes. "Leyasu grab that axe, Sayo get that bow I got a feeling your gonna need them".
Leyasu grabbed both half of the axe and put them together before giving it a few swings, "Huh I thought this would be heavier".
Sayo grabbed the bow off the ground and the arrow quiver of the dead woman, it felt wrong to her. She tested the bow "This'll do".
"Ok now we have to fight our way out" Tatsumi told them.
Leyasu fist bumped "Hell yeah I want to make these people pay for what they did to us", he was suddenly slapped by Sayo.
"You fools do you really think we can fight an army" she shouted.
"Why did you just hit me" Leyasu asked her with tears in his angry eyes, "He's the one that mentioned it".
"She doen't want ot break her hand Leyasu" Tatsumi laughed with his arms, "And also Sayo we can with help with the trio outside".
They both looked blankly at him "What do you mean?" Sayo asked.
"Oh you'll see" he suddenly lifted they both up with one arm and prepared to jump out of the hole.
"WOAH WOAH ARE YOU CRAZY TATSUMI" LEYASU SCREAM.
Tatsumi thought for a moment "Nah just overconfident and want to leave, next stop ground floor!" he then leaped out of the tower.
As the fell Tatsumi used his free arm to grab onto the spire to slow their descent. On the ground the trio were all back to back as the endless stream of soldier kept coming.
"We may need to retreat Leone" The girl with black eyes told the blonde.
"Yeah maybe-" her cat ears pricked as she heard screaming and the armoured figure from before sliding down it taking half of it with him, holding two smaller figure holding two weapons she recognised.
The other realsied he was back when the sound of a bomb went off as Tatsumi hit the ground. He put his friends down who were shaking, "Ok...never do that again" Sayo said looking angrily at Tatsumi who did the 'What you gonna do' shrug.
"Oh he's still here" the girl with red eyes said blankly as she cut a guard in half.
Tatsumi ran over to the trio although making sure Leyasu and Sayo were following and were safe as he did. Once he was near he noticed the girl with black eyes in trouble so he jumped over the group andlanded in front of her drawing both his sword and slashing a whole wave of soldier in half with a single swing. "So how you guys doing?" he asked jokingly.
The girl just looked at him before getting angry, "I was doing quite well before you jumped in" she said in a blank yet agitated.
Tatsumi just stared for a second that a soldier made an attempt to swing at him. But as the sword made contact it shattered, leaving the soldier unarmed, lost for words and in need for new pants. Suddenly something was flung out of nowhere decapitating him and returning somewhere. Tatsumi watched to see Leyasu catching what was half if his new axe. "Ok, I love this new axe" he called out as he swung it at another guard missing embarassingly only being saved by a fire bird that appeared and turned the soldier to ashes. "Oh... didn't mean for that, I only shot an arrow and that happened!" Sayo said alittle panicked but continued.
"I say it's time to leave" Leone said, her two partners nodded. "You three as well".
"Lead the way" Tatsumi said as he motioned towards the exit, which the three assassins sprinted for.
Before Sayo and LEyasu could say anything Tatsumi grabbed both of them and charged after them.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
Forest
OOOOOOOOOOOO
The group managed to get a few miles away from the prison before saying it was safe to rest. THe three assassins sat on the ground, while Tatsumi put his friends who stretched and did the same, he sat on a tree stump. They were all quiet simply catching their breathe.
Leyasu decided to break it, "That was...AWESOME!" Everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
"I mean, we all fought an army and got away unscathed", Tatsumi was the one to physically knock some sense into him smacking him across the head.
"Leyasu Im going to say this once yes we escaped but saying leaving unscathed in not the right word", he then jestered his new friends, "Our new friends here are exhausted beyond reason", he then jestered Sayo, "And Sayo has experienced things that'll scar her for the rest of her life, so be more considerate next time".
Leyasu was about to say something but then realising what Tatsumi was on about he shut up. Tatsumi looked to their new friends to see the black eyed girl missing, he looked around to see she was right next to him, he backed up slightly. "Oh you here to thank me now?" he asked jokingly, however she continued to stare at him whihc made him very uncomfortable.
Suddenly she begane stroking his armor's mane, which lead to her expression changing to a more surpised look, "So soft" she said, Tatsumi grabbed her by the the back to her top and lifted her off the ground bringing her to eye level, "Question why did you begin stroking my armors mane?" he asked.
"Just wanted to" she said in her usual tone.
Suddenly Leone spoke up, "Aw Kurome you two look like a little couple" she teased.
Both of them looked at her both blushing however Tatsumi was spared due to his helmet hide his, "What?!"
Everyone minus the red eyed girl laughed at them, Tatsumi dropped the girl and stood up, "L-lets just continue".
