I will try to not be predictable with the story. You'll have to tell me if I did good or not.
The Saiyan couldn't sleep that night. His nightmare about Majin Buu absorbing Vegito continued where it was left off. It turned out that Vegito allowed himself to be absorbed. The fused warrior was somehow protected and his fusion didn't deactivate. His power was still available to him. So Vegito searched inside of Buu's body in search of Gohan and the others.
Gohan woke up. He looked around at his surroundings. He just remembered he wasn't sleeping at the mansion anymore. He awoke on a messy bed that was donated to his home by one of the kind villagers. The Saiyan wasn't sleepy anymore so he got up from bed. "Why am I still dreaming about Majin Buu?" He wondered.
The Saiyan exited his home. He stood outside taking in some fresh air. The time of day was possibly 4:00 am in the morning and the moon was still visible. Not a soul was awake, even the inhabitants of the mansion were asleep. Although, one tiny power level inside the village seemed to be awake. There was a female child with blue hair who sat next to the forest barrier petting a puppy with dark fur. The dog was missing hair on top of it's head.
Gohan was going to train, but after seeing the child he was curious. Why was there a child alone outside in the dark. It was too early for anyone to be awake. Even Gohan would have been asleep at least two more hours but his dream about Majin Buu kept him awake.
The Saiyan approached the child. "Hi there. Why are you outside in the dark?" Asked Gohan. The girl stopped petting her puppy and took notice of Gohan's presence. "Oh, hello. You must be the new person that moved here yesterday?"
"Yes, I am. But that's not important. Where are your parents? Are they nearby?" Gohan tried to sense for anyone else awake but all living beings in the village were asleep in their homes. The girl then replied "Yes. My parents are watching over me." She lied. Gohan knew she was lying but he had better things to do. The Saiyan then crouched down to be at the girl's level. "Don't go into the forest. Please stay with your dog. If anything happens, it would bark and make a lot of noise. Understand?"
The girl smiled thus triggering Gohan to smile. Gohan then backed away, he decided to leave the girl alone. The girl then waved bye to the Saiyan as he walked away from her. "I need some place to hide..." Gohan hid some place nobody could see him. But there was no point in doing that since it was still very dark. He ascended to the sky. From 100 meters up in the sky he could see the mountains, the endless trees, a river nearby and Roswaal's Mansion wasn't too far away from the village. Anyone would possibly take 10-15 minutes to get there by walking. But he already explored that place.
Gohan decided to explore the other nations. But first, maybe he could hunt some wild life. There were plenty of Wolf like MaBeast in a forest below him. Being hungry, he instantly knocked out one of the creatures, picked it up, and took off to the sky again. It all happened too fast for any eyes to spot him.
Some time later he cooked the dead beast with his Ki. He learned from past experience how to avoid burning his food by accident. After a good 20 minutes of eating, he took off to the sky again. 'Now, what can I learn about this world?' Gohan wondered.
The Ultimate Warrior flew across the continent. Out of the 4 nations in the continent, he learned the names of two of them. Volakia Empire and Kararagi, he already knew of Lugunica so he now needed to visit one more place. He flew up north, crossing 'The Tigracy River' and found himself in the Snow covered Nation 'Gusteko'
"Damn! This place is too cold." He covered himself in a Ki blanket that surrounded his body. The Saiyan continued his investigation. He hovered 50 meters over a Port City (Still wasn't named in Re:Zero.) He could feel the energy of abandoned children freezing to death in the city. It pained him, he could do nothing about it. Or perhaps he could. He generated a large sphere of Ki near the Port city. It was hot enough to change the weather to a tropical climate, at least temporarily. He didn't like watching those kids freeze to death so he played with climate change without thinking about the consequences.
The inhabitants would be in for a surprise as soon as they wake up.
Gohan then returned to Lugunica and explored the Capital at 6:00 AM,. The sun had barely rose, it's still pretty dark. He rested on the roof of a church. "If only I had my Great SaiyaMan costume. It could be fun protecting civilians, day or night." He wondered. Should he be a hero during day or night? Or maybe he could do both.
He then decided to be a hero just for fun. He would try to do better than the Caped Baldy and make sure he arrived in time. But without his costume he would have to be a hero with his Orange Gi. "Oh well, it wont hurt to give it a shot. And while I'm at it, I should say Emilia sent me. It might increase her popularity!"
Gohan ascended to the sky and hovered near outer space. He tried sensing all over the continent for bad behavior. He then felt the presence of evil beings attacking a small town, it turned out that it was attacked before Gohan could notice, a lot of damage happened in a short amount of time. It was very far away from Roswaal's mansion. And it surely wasn't his own village. The town was on the far end of Lugunica. But either way, Gohan would help the innocent people. Faster than the speed of light he descended to the ground like lightning in the middle of the town square. The decorated cement ground had formed a crater at embracing the impact of Gohan's fall from the sky.
There were people dressed in Black outfits that resembled the KKK. They killed families and burned down houses. Gohan was FURIOUS. He powered up to make his presence known to everybody. "STOP THIS!.. STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!" The ground shook. Gohan's super loud voice was heard in a hundred mile radius, therefore people far away from the town also heard the mighty voice. All killing in the small town had finally stopped.
The cultists in black stared at the Saiyan. The frightened townspeople also stared at Gohan then back at their attackers. Gohan took a moment to observe the situation. There were burning dead bodies stacked like it were some prize. Fresh dead corpses littered the place. Houses were bloody, brick walls had fell over, and possibly 40% of the town were currently alive and or injured or dying right now.
Gohan looked through one of the destroyed buildings, a 14 year old teenage girl with short cyan hair was being raped. Her rose dress was ripped and torn apart. Gohan popped out of existence and appeared in front of the group of men who's faces were covered by their cultist masks. The men backed away from the defenseless girl. Gohan observed the poor teenager. She was beaten and was barely awake. Half of her naked body was visible. 'It's women who suffer the most' Gohan thought as he picked up the barely conscious girl.
The Saiyan walked toward a pile of corpses as the nearby cultists backed away from him. Gohan observed what appeared to be an entire dead family. No dragon balls would ever be able to bring them back. The girl opened her eyes and stared at her dead family, "Pa-papa..." The girl couldn't speak properly.
Gohan raised his voice in anger "Look at what you've done!" The cultists then responded by generating fire balls at the same time. Gohan stood still, not showing any fear at all, he showed mostly anger. The fire balls were thrown at Gohan, but the flames had dissipated without leaving behind an explosion. Gohan was unharmed. His surroundings were unharmed. The girl he held in his arms was unharmed.
The cultists stepped backwards in shock. They have made a grave mistake. The Saiyan stared at the closest Cultist to him. Gohan slowly walked toward the closest cultist. The attacker staggered backwards, not wanting to be hurt by Gohan. The Saiyan stared at the cultist with his Serious Super Saiyan expression despite being in base form.
Gohan shut his eyes and calmly said "You asked for it." At reopening his eyes, half of the attackers in the town exploded into ash and smoke. No blood was left behind. Their clothes were torn apart and dissipated into dust at making contact with the ground. Gohan walked to the middle of the town. The remaining cultists had thrown their ceremonial daggers at Gohan while he walked. But the daggers flew through Gohan's body and hit anything and anyone behind him. Gohan dodged so fast it looked like he stood still. The girl he held in his arms was also unharmed.
Then unseen hands surrounded Gohan's body. The invisible hands tried to crush Gohan, but he was unfazed. Gohan then raised his Ki without shouting and the unseen hands shortly became visible and were destroyed by the transparent aura of Ki.
The Saiyan then turned his attention to the leader of the raid. Betelgeuse. "P-pride! Why do you attack us? I know we're different but we can look past that and work together!" Complained Betelguese.
"What did you call me?" Asked Gohan. The madman then bit his own fingers "You Heard me! Stop Attacking us! How are we going to pave the way for the Ordeal if you're hindering our progress?" Complained Betelgeuse.
Gohan gently laid the girl to the ground. He then appeared in front of Betelgeuse in the blink of an eye. The madman wasn't even afraid. Betelgeuse placed his bloody hand on Gohan's bicep. "Perhaps you weren't given a gospel yet. Why don't I find one for you?" Asked Betelgeuse as he pulled out a black book from his outfit.
Gohan grabbed the madman's arm and snapped his elbow in half. Betelgeuse dropped the book and grabbed his arm in pain. Pain mostly never bothered Betelgeuse, but this pain was new to him.
"It seems to me that you're the leader of the raid. Now you'll listen to me!" Gohan stomped on the Archbishop's foot and crushed it underneath his feet. "You will order your followers to retreat! And never come back!"
The madman slowly staggered away, then one of his followers stopped him from tripping over a corpse. Betelgeuse smiled and replied "We'll soon meet again... Pride..." He said while all cultists including himself sunk into the ground and disappeared from sight.
"Are they gone?" a bloody old man staggered onto his feet and walked toward Gohan. The Saiyan took notice of the injured elderly man. "They're really gone! You saved my granddaughter!" The old man tripped over and crawled toward the hero and kissed Gohan's shoes as a thankful gesture.
Gohan lowered himself and lifted the elderly man back to his feet. "I'm sorry I didn't arrive sooner. It would seem your granddaughter's parents are dead." Gohan apologized
"At least I can die knowing the girl is alive." The old man couldn't stand up anymore. Gohan noticed the elderly man's Ki was dropping very quickly. Gohan caught the elder before he fell. The old man was almost dead. It was a miracle that the elder man could walk and talk. This old man had a lot of will power to be able to do that.
The few of the remaining townspeople rushed to the dying old man. "We'll take him from you're hands." Gohan allowed two men to hold the old man.
"Who are you?" Asked a stranger. "My name is Gohan, you were in trouble, so the Silver-haired Half-elf by the name of Emilia sent me to help you." Gohan lied. The townspeople were shocked. This wasn't the response they hoped for.
Some whispering was heard. Several people speculated if the Half-Elf staged all of this destruction just for her to raise her popularity at sending a hero to save them. This wasn't what Gohan hoped to hear. He probably made things worse by lying.
Even though Gohan had arrived very quickly to the village, the cultists were attacking for several minutes before Gohan arrived. They were very effective in doing so much damage very quickly. Just what the hell are they? The town was super small so that explained just how fast it all happened. Gohan hoped that his display of power had convinced the cultists to quit their bad ways. But little did he know, that he only made things more interesting.
From afar, some Demi Human mercenaries contracted by Anastasia Hoshin watched what Gohan was capable of. They heard Gohan's shout so they of course took notice of him. The Saiyan's display of power would definitely catch the interest of their leader. So the squad of mercenaries retreated back to their base.
Same Day
It was now 8:00 AM. Subaru Natsuki awoke in his bed with much enthusiasm. He just had the most bad ass the dream ever. He dreamed that he won Emilia's love by being the strongest man alive. Right before he could kiss the girl in his dream, some bad guy with a mustache swooped in and took her away. Then Subaru for some reason turned Super Saiyan in his dream and defeated the bad guy with a mustache thus winning Emilia's affection.
"Man! That was some awesome dream!" Exclaimed Subaru as he stretched on his bed. "If I can show that I'm worth training then maybe Gohan would take me seriously." The teen thought out loud as he changed into Butler attire. "I'm going to need to finish my chores so I can have enough time to visit Gohan."
The Japanese teenager began his day of chores. It was just as hard as yesterday. He couldn't stop cutting his fingers when peeling potatoes (Tatoes?). He hurt his hands when doing the laundry, he cut himself again when trimming the bushes. It was all another day full of hardships. The maids still didn't acknowledge the poor Subaru. They didn't even trust the teen despite him being friendly all day long.
He now finished his final chore of the day. He mopped the bathing room floors and the tub. Subaru wiped the sweat of his face. "Man, this it self was like training, who am I kidding... I could never hope to become as strong as Gohan." Subaru thought out loud showing depression in his posture.
Emilia was outside of the bathing room and overheard Subaru's statement. She felt kind of sad for him but she kept to herself and walked away. Now that Subaru is done with his task, he would be quick to head to the village, with permission from the maids of course. The maids allowed Subaru to visit Gohan, but Subaru needed to return early to the mansion again.
It was late in the day
"Alright!" Exclaimed Subaru. The shut in Neet calmly visited the village. Little did he know, Gohan spent the the entire day being a hero in the name of Emilia's Camp.
At arriving to the village, Subaru saw that people were worried because of Gohan's absence. They were going to welcome the Saiyan but he wasn't in the village. Subaru's determination still wasn't crushed yet. Gohan would surely come back.
As if on cue, the Saiyan arrived, he came from the forest barrier. When the people saw him they were shocked to see him alive and well. Nobody should go past the forest barrier, it's suicide.
Subaru thought now was his chance, but the villagers surrounded Gohan and asked him questions. The poor Subaru couldn't get close to Gohan because of the crowd. But Gohan knew Subaru was nearby so he walked past his neighbors to greet his buddy.
"Yo Subaru! How's your second day at the Mansion going?" Asked Gohan.
"Being a Butler was harder than I thought. Guess I'm useless huh?" Subaru chuckled "Anyways, I want you to train me! I can handle it!" Subaru pleaded.
Gohan chuckled "Sure, but now isn't a good time. I just remembered Roswaal wanted me to meet with him before Nightfall. Sorry."
Subaru wasn't having any of it "Seriously?! Then when?! I don't want to be just a meat shield! Right now I can't defend myself or anyone else. When I tried fighting those three thugs, you saved me from getting beaten to a pulp. When that crazy lady who likes cutting stomachs fought you, I could only watch. And the only use I had against her was being a meat shield. That seriously sucked!" Complained Subaru.
"Okay, okay. Tomorrow I'll train you. But like I said, for now I have a meeting with Roswaal. So don't be put down because of this." Replied Gohan. Subaru pointed to the sky with his 'Subaru pose' "You gave me your word. So you better not let me down."
Gohan smiled. "Okay, calm down. Why don't we walk to the mansion? We can talk about the details of your training while we're at it." Said Gohan as he walked toward the path that led to the Mansion. Subaru followed Gohan.
"First thing first, you wont be able to learn how to fight in just one day. However, if you're strong enough, you can access your hidden power, which is Ki."
"What the hell is Ki though?" Asked Subaru.
Gohan explained "It's the hidden power in everybody. Don't confuse it with something magical. Ki is physical energy that all living beings have. Let me give you some perspective. Your body uses Ki when performing regular muscle movements. So it's very natural to everyday life. Now if you learn to tap into your hidden power, you can perform super human feats." Subaru only stared confused.
"So, why do I need to know this?" Replied Subaru.
"Understanding Ki helps more than you know it. Now, knowing how to use Ki without knowing how to fight would do more bad than good. So I will start off with the basics of self defense." Said Gohan.
Subaru was baffled. "But I need to know how to fight. What gives?" Replied Subaru in confusion. "That's because I don't want you picking fights you can't win. That's why you need to know self defense before you try offense. And on the plus side, your Ki would grow and become easier to use. Don't worry, it will be worth it." Replied Gohan with certainty.
"Well, you're the boss." Said Subaru. Gohan then pat Subaru's shoulder. "Don't worry, like I said, you can't learn to fight in one day. And learning self defense will increase your Ki. Having a basic understanding of martial arts will make it incredibly easier to use Ki."
At arriving to the mansion, Gohan and Subaru went their separate ways. Roswaal waited patiently for Gohan to arrive but was expecting Gohan to at least teleport into his office. Did Emilia lie about Gohan's teleportation ability?
Gohan then entered the office through the doors, Roswaal grinned and spun his seat around to see Gohan. "Well, I expected you to arrive faster. But it's quite alright, technically you still arrived early." Gohan was then seated in front of Roswaal's desk.
Roswaal then spoke "I have managed to summon my Ki. But it dissipates too quickly. Why does this happen?" Roswaal's accent had slight annoyance but he still kept his cheerful expression.
"My first guess would be, you were impatient or were trying to forcefully summon your Ki. As a beginner, you need to start slow. It really doesn't take long to use Ki once you managed to summon it the first time. But the fact that you summoned some of your Ki shows you made progress."
Roswaal wrote down every detail into a first draft on a paper, if the information Gohan gave was indeed real, he could make a book about Ki. If he were to succeed at using Ki, he would store the information into the archives of the library. Then Beatrice would have an extra book to read. It must have been 400 years the Drill haired Loli lived in that library and Re-read the same books.
But most importantly, Ki could aid Roswaal in defeating the Dragon.
The rest of Gohan's explanation was heard by someone outside of the office. Subaru had his ear on the door. Gohan knew Subaru was there, so he spoke seriously and attempted to explain in a way that Subaru could understand and Roswaal would assume to be an informative explanation.
Ram noticed Subaru had his ear on Roswaal's door, so she pulled his other ear. "Ow!" Roswaal heard Subaru outside of his office and wrote 'OW!' into his first draft by accident. He was more amused than angry. He knew Ram was punishing Subaru so he didn't need to dirty his own hands.
Gohan chuckled nervously since he knew he couldn't save his buddy from Ram's wrath.
Next Day (9:00 pm)
After a difficult session of training in the basics of self defense, Subaru and Gohan were seated in the grass field next to Roswaal's Mansion. Subaru tried to summon his Ki but nothing would happen. "Why isn't it working?!" Asked Subaru. Gohan stood up from the grass. "It's not working because you're lacking enough Ki to summon you're hidden power. This is the reason why you must first become stronger and learn self defense. It will help develop you're Ki." Replied Gohan as he was dusting off grass from his pants.
Subaru also rose up from the ground. "Will doing push ups increase my Ki?" Asked Subaru. "Yes, but doing a simple 10 push ups wont help you at all. You're Ki will increase when you are struggling. So you must do 100 in the morning, then 100 before you sleep." Subaru was shocked to hear that.
"Once it becomes easy to do 100 push ups, start doing 200. I think by the time you can easily do 300, you'll be able to summon you're Ki." Gohan observed Subaru's deflated posture. The Neet didn't like where this was going. But then, Subaru was filled with determination. "If I knew any of this sooner I could have been using Ki by now." Subaru hardened his fists.
"It's alright, I'm sure we're in times of peace, so hopefully there will be no need to fight." Gohan lied. He just recently encountered the witch's cult. Gohan also caused several MaBeast species to go extinct in order to save many lives all over the continent. And right after Gohan learned of the white whale, he would try to hunt it down too. But he can't find it's Ki anywhere, it might not have a Ki signature at all. This can pose a problem but Gohan would surely defeat it with one Kamehameha if he ever found it.
"Um, Gohan? I don't think this world might be at peace for long. Seeing how the country discriminates against Emilia's heritage..." Subaru stopped talking to think about what to say next. "I see." Gohan placed a hand on Subaru's shoulder "Huh?" Subaru was confused.
"You want to get stronger to protect Emilia, use that as your motivation. Your hidden potential will be unlocked if you have a goal. So always think of Emilia when you train, that will help you become stronger." Gohan pat Subaru's shoulder then walked away from the teenager.
"Where are you going?" Asked Subaru. "I think we should call it a day. Tomorrow I'll teach you the basics again." Gohan was then stopped by Subaru. "Wait! Why can't we continue?" Asked Subaru. Gohan chuckled. "It's getting late, and I'm sure the maids will give you trouble if you don't report back to them." Replied Gohan.
"Oh crap! I'm late right now!" Subaru ran to the direction of the Mansion's entrance. From the second floor, Beatrice watched from a window everything that happened. The drill haired Loli was caressing Puck's ears. "Those two are strange I suppose." "What's strange about them? Asked Puck.
"I still haven't determined the reason." Replied Beatrice as she walked away from the view of the window.
We now skip to Day five
In the kitchen, Subaru was peeling potatoes very poorly, meanwhile Ram peeled the potatoes with much accuracy and Rem was washing the dishes. Every time Subaru didn't pay attention Rem would glare at him. Subaru didn't notice the way she looked at him because he cut his finger again. He was too busy complaining about how hard it was to cook than to care about Rem staring at him.
"Seeing how you're still useless at using a knife, I thought of something you would excel at." Said Ram as she placed the knife next to the perfectly peeled potatoes (Tatoes). Subaru jumped in excitement. "What is it? Is it sewing clothing? Is it watering the plants? Is it accompanying 'Mely' to some far dangerous land where she'll need her knight and shining armor to protect her? That's me by the way."
Ram strictly replied "No. Today you will go with Rem to the village to purchase food supplies. If you don't go, tomorrow we'll have nothing to cook. The man in orange ate more than half of our food supply."
A brief memory of Gohan eating in the Mansion's dining room yesterday was replaying it self in Subaru's mind. Gohan was eating 50 plates of food and he still wasn't done eating. The maids watched with horror at how fast Gohan ate his food. Ram looked at Subaru "You're washing the dishes today." Subaru wanted to complain but he didn't want to look like a slacker in front of Roswaal.
Subaru chuckled "Oh, fair point." Subaru stood beside Rem. "I'm ready when you are, Senpai." He said cheerfully. Rem didn't say anything and complied with Ram's order. 'That's out of character, normally Rem would happily accept the order and compliment her sister. What gives?' Subaru wondered in his mind as he followed Rem.
At the village, Gohan carried heavy stacks of wood and placed them next to the forest barrier where he was ordered to put them. Gohan was told that the barrier might not always be reliable so it might be necessary to fortify the village. Gohan then noticed the same little girl with the evil Ki, she was petting the same dog just like earlier today. Does she ever do anything else? He didn't want to stay too close to the little girl. There appeared to be nothing wrong with her but her Ki is what freaked him out.
Gohan detected Subaru and Rem's Ki coming toward the village. Gohan let out a smile and went to greet them. From afar Subaru saw Gohan but Rem stopped Subaru from going any further. "Remember Ram's orders?" Asked Rem. Subaru decided to listen to Rem, he didn't want to end up doing extra chores as punishment.
Gohan noticed the situation. "Oh, I guess I'll see ya later then..." Gohan then returned to his task of fortifying the surrounding village fences.
Rem then walked past Subaru. "Please distract the village children, so they may not hinder my progress." Subaru then complied. The children quickly swarmed Subaru to wipe their noses on him and put junk in his pockets. "Hey! Get off!" Subaru complained. The kid Petra giggled as she watched Subaru struggle with the children.
From afar Gohan watched Subaru have trouble with the kids. But Subaru wasn't too overwhelmed, the children knew when to stop being annoying. All was fun and games until Subaru met the little girl and her dog. The poor Subaru was bit by the dog when he was petting it. Then the children laughed at Subaru as he winced in pain. "The dog is a girl, you were touching her too much." Said one of the kids.
"Don't any of you feel bad for me? I was bit you know!" Subaru complained as he held his left hand in pain. Gohan heard the children laughing too much so he went to investigate. Gohan stood beside Subaru. "What's going on?"
Subaru stood up and almost cried. "That dog bit me!" Subaru pointed a finger at the puppy thus causing it to jump off the hands of a girl and cower into the forest.
Gohan observed Subaru's hand. "That's not good. Hopefully the dog didn't have rabies. I'm not too sure that sickness was cured in Lugunica." Said Gohan.
Subaru panicked. "What am I suppose to do if I get Rabies?" Although the dog didn't give him rabies, he did receive something worse and Subaru would learn about it the hard way.
The children were confused. "What is Rabies?" Petra asked. The word 'Rabies' didn't exist in Lugunica so nothing is known about it. It's possible that sickness doesn't exist either.
Gohan took Subaru to Rem. The maid had just finished doing the transaction for the food supplies. She stood in front of a salesman sitting on a crate of Potatoes (Tatoes). He counted the money he was given. Rem noticed Gohan and Subaru heading to her direction. She also took notice of Subaru's bleeding hand. She almost glared at them with disgust. Gohan was the reason why she had to go with Subaru to the village to buy food.
Rem looked away from the duo as they stood beside her. "Subaru was bitten by a little creature. Is there a chance he could get infected because of that?" Asked Gohan. Rem then turned her attention to the Saiyan. "He'll be fine." Gohan didn't expect that for an answer. "Huh?" Subaru was confused.
"The worst thing that could happen would be the small creature passing on a curse to Subaru but that would never happen." Said Rem as she walked away. Subaru then noticed the supplies she bought. There were three medium crates of different kind of fruit and vegetable. It was too much to carry and she expected Subaru to carry all of it.
"Huh? Am I suppose to carry that with my injured hand?!" Complained Subaru. Rem then glared at the teenager. "All you ever do is complain." She walked toward the path to the mansion and ignored Subaru. 'Wait, I didn't notice that from him.' Gohan thought.
Gohan then pat Subaru's shoulder. "Don't worry Subaru. I'll help carry two crates." Gohan lifted two crates and expected Subaru to pick up the third, but Subaru didn't know how to do it with his injured hand.
"I guess I'll pick up the third." Said Gohan. Subaru then stopped Gohan. "You'll brake your spine if you do that! That's too heavy." Subaru then tried to pick up the crate but he winced in pain when he used his injured hand. Gohan sighed. He stacked all three crates into a pile then picked up all of them at the same time. "There, now I'll carry these to make things easier for you."
Subaru was reminded of how useless he is at everything. Gohan could probably do anything. He was the complete opposite of Subaru.
Subaru walked in the back while Gohan carried all three heavy crates as if it were nothing. Rem was at the front and didn't care if Gohan was the one carrying the crates instead of Subaru. Ram would surely insult Barusu for not being able to carry at least one crate of food supplies.
It was now night time
Roswaal was seated in his office. Ram was seated on his lap. They both looked out a window and observed Subaru and Emilia, who were outside of the Mansion. Subaru watched as Emilia summoned the lesser spirits and spoke to them quietly.
Roswaal spoke to Ram. "It's been five days since Subaru came to the Mansion and Gohan went to the village. What do you think of them? By now we should see something."
"Subaru's cooking, laundry, cleaning. He's useless at all of them." Replied Ram.
"How strict of you... And what about Gohan?" Asked Roswaal as he caressed Ram's hair.
"He frequently exits the village early in the morning when everyone's asleep. He's too suspicious." Replied Ram.
Roswaal closed his eyes. "That's a shame. I was starting to like him. His information about Ki wasn't a lie. I managed to summon my hidden power with his help." Roswaal sighed. "Now... what are the chances that they are spies?" Asked Roswaal.
"I cannot deny it exists, but I believe Gohan is the suspect here. Although Subaru is too conspicuous. And not for any good reasons." Replied Ram.
"And if he's too conspicuous... Despite that possibility, he certainly is carefree. As I personally see it, interfering would be wise." Roswaal gestured decapitation.
"They are only children. Even if we let them be, nothing will happen." Said Ram.
Outside of the Mansion, Subaru watched Emilia make contact with the lesser spirits. Many specks of light surrounded the Elf. Her body emanated light. "It isn't fun to watch, is it?"
"When I'm with you, nothing is boring, Emilia-tan." Subaru Replied. Emilia smiled. "That makes me happy, even if you're only flattering me." She stopped glowing light then turned her attention to Subaru.
Subaru scratched the back of his head. "Besides, we haven't had a chance to talk for the past few days." Emilia nodded in response. "That's right. It must be difficult for you to learn how to work here." She replied.
Subaru raised his voice "Yes, it is! It's killing me! I wish I could be sequentially comforted in your arms, on your chest, and on your lap."
"Yeah, yeah. If you can joke around like that, you must be fine." She softly poked Subaru's forehead and he purposely fell down backwards onto the grass. Emilia was then seated next to him on the grass.
Subaru stared at the night sky and was silent for a while. "The moon sure is pretty." "Yes, it's far beyond our reach." She calmly replied. Subaru sat straight next to Emilia. "I got a really touching response, without even trying!"
The Elf giggled and switched her attention from the moon to Subaru. "Anyway, don't you think both you and Gohan are lacking in ambition? You chose to simply work in the mansion and Gohan didn't even ask for anything special either. What gives?" Asked Emilia.
Subaru closed his eyes. "You just don't get it, Emilia-tan... I want what I want at that exact moment, and I want it from the bottom of my heart." "Huh?" Emilia was baffled at his response.
"While I can't answer for Gohan, I can tell you that I was nervous, and unsure of the future, I had no expectations for tomorrow. When I think about it calmly, there were probably other things I should have wanted. But I can't lie to my self." Subaru paused before speaking up again. "I'm flat out broke without a single coin. I could have cheated and asked for a fortune, but I also could have worked my way up."
"In that case, why didn't you ask to become a permanent guest?" Asked Emilia. Subaru jumped up in response. "Damn! Why didn't I think of that?!" Subaru was having 5 second existential crisis.
Emilia looked at him confused. Subaru was embarrassed. "Gosh, how pathetic of me. I should have kept that thought a secret."
Emilia stood up and noticed the bandages on Subaru's hands. "Do you want me to use my healing magic?" Asked Emilia. Subaru hid his hands behind his back. "Nah, I'm fine like this." "Why?" She asked.
Subaru paused. "It's kind of hard to explain, but... well, this is proof of the effort I put in." He observed his bitten hand. "I don't actually dislike exerting myself, you know. If I could learn to be independent, I wouldn't have to rely on others to help me. My first encounter with Gohan taught me that I should be ready for any situation." Subaru then stared at Emilia's eyes. "I felt useless when Gohan fought that crazy lady with the stomach cutting fetish. All I could do is watch... I know being a butler has nothing to do with what I'm talking about, but my reason for mentioning it is the same. I want to learn how to do things on my own." He clapped his hands together. "So getting healed would be cheating. It'd be like I didn't consider the consequences at all."
Emilia agreed with him. "That's right. Yes, I think you're right." She nodded her head. "Really Subaru, you idiot." She looked down on the floor. Subaru tilted his head in shame. "Hey, what's with that reaction? This is where you fall for me, all over again."
Emilia looked away from Subaru. "I never initially fell for you." She returned her gaze at Subaru. "Honestly, you're so silly." The smile she made had caused Subaru to like her even more.
He stuttered before speaking. "Ema." "Huh?" Her smile disappeared. Subaru chuckled. "It's short for "Emilia-tan, major angel."
"I'm thanking you, and you're joking around again! Anyway, I know you're working hard, but how did your hands get so torn up?" She asked. Subaru showed her his hands. "I cut this one with knifes in the kitchen... This bruise was when Gohan was teaching me self defense... And this is from the evening when I went shopping in town, and a little animal some kids were playing with bit me."
"It wasn't the result of your effort?" She asked. He raised his voice. "Those kids were ruthless, hitting and kicking me, and wiping their runny noses on me. It sucked, damn it." He complained.
"You do seem like you'd be good with small children, Subaru." Subaru walked toward her. "I know! Wanna come and meet with Gohan so we can plot revenge... I mean, watch the kids and small animal?" he asked. She looked away. "It isn't that I don't want to do with you..." He then interrupted. "Then let's go." "But if I'm with you, it might cause trouble for you." He interrupted again. "Okay, got it! Let's go!"
She looked at him with concerned. "Are you even listening?" "I am! I hang on every word you say, Emilia-tan!"
She took a while to respond. "Jeez... Only during break from my studies and when your work is done, all right?" She asked. A huge smile was planted on Subaru's face. He raised a fist into the sky in victory. "All right! Roger that!" Subaru was praising the stars while Emilia giggled at his happy vibe.
Some time later in the same night. Subaru visited the drill haired Loli. He opened the door like it was easy to find her despite the powerful magic that hides the library from intruders. "Hey, loli girl, You're still up?" He asked as he waved Hi to Beatrice. "So now you can break through my door Crossing like it's natural, I suppose." "Oh, just wanted to say hello before going to bed." Subaru saw Beatrice twiddling with her own hair. "Can I try that too?" "Only Bubby may touch me, I suppose." "No fair that only you can have fun. Well, I'm in a good mood, so I can just let it go-" "Enough! Just get out of here!"
The Loli used her magic to push Subaru out of the library. He flew out of the door and hit the wall behind him pretty hard and the door was shut. "That has nothing to do with Betty, I suppose."
When Subaru was in bed he thought out loud excitedly. "For our date tomorrow, I'll have to convince Gohan to distract the kids, although he seemed to be scared of that little girl and her dog... Oh, but first, I gotta learn where all the good views and flower fields and stuff are..." Subaru shot up and was seated straight. He couldn't sleep. "Crap! I can't sleep while I'm thinking about this!" He rested his face on one hand. Then he hardened his fist and united his hands at coming up with an idea. "Oh! I got it!" He rested under his blanket. "One puck... two Pucks... One... hundred and one... Pucks..." He fell asleep.
It was the same night
Gohan was asleep in his new comfortable bed he just bought recently. But he began shaking his head left and right. His dreams were becoming worse. In his dream he saw disturbing things.
Vegito was searching for Gohan and the other Z Fighters that were absorbed. He found Piccolo, Goten and Trunks. They were stuck in some kind of bubblegum that was feeding on their power. The Fused Warrior freed them one by one. Vegito then noticed where Gohan was. Gohan was also stuck in bubblegum and was separated from the rest of the Z Fighters. Gohan was surrounded by a purple mist. Vegito then tried to free Gohan but the purple mist formed a hand, then slapped away the fused warrior. Vegito became angry, he created the Spirit Sword with his right hand. He charged toward the 'purple mist, but the person he tried to free vanished from sight.
Gohan saw in his dream that he himself was chained to a bed. He had no clothes whatsoever. He tried to use his Ki to forcefully brake the chains but nothing happened. The room he was in was very dark and shadowy. He then saw what appeared to be a woman with pointy ears and Silver hair coming from the shadows. She appeared to also be naked. Her face was covered by a shadow but the rest of her beautiful naked body was completely visible to Gohan.
She seductively walked closer to him. Gohan panicked. He had to get out! The Silver-Haired Half-Elf got on the bed and seductively crawled to the Saiyan. They both were face to face, but he couldn't see what she looked like. It was too dark for him to recognize who she really was. It couldn't have been Emilia. She would never chain him to a bed.
Gohan woke up screaming from his dream. He looked left and right. He wasn't in his house in the village. He was in Roswaal's mansion again. Gohan could hear Subaru complaining. "You're playing a prank one me! I'm not a guest! I worked here for five days!"
Gohan was shocked. Did he just return to the past with Subaru at the same time?!
I will try to not be predictable with the story. You'll have to tell me if I did good or not.
