Chapter 14 – Origins
"Come, join me for breakfast, Gama-senin", said the young white haired girl, with tone of noblewoman, while emitting aura of highborn.
Jiraiya could hardly grasp what was going on here. Yesterday his goddaughter was just other ordinary ten years old girl. Yet today hers mannerism was that of the high class people, like some kind of daimyo or real life princess. Did the books made her like this?
And then he noticed few changes with hers appearance. The most noticeable one would probably be hers eyebrows, now shaved into short royalty style. But it did not end here. The look in hers eyes changed, from someone scared into someone confident, almost overconfident. And so did her posture. You would not accidentally bump into her anymore, you would make her a way why holding honorable distance and bowing to her.
"Will you come to eat or are too much stunned by my mere presence, Gama-senin?" Kaguya asked still shocked Jiraiya who was gaping at her with his mouth opened.
"What?" he uttered, and went slowly to the eating table. In few moment he was served his meal and they both ate their breakfast.
"I'm going to pack my things, Gama-senin," she said and went to their room, leaving Jiraiya on his own.
Once Otsutsuki Kaguya left the hotel restaurant, Jiraiya started to notice suspicious glint in the eyes of personal and hotel owner. Soon he realized that they expected to be paid handsomely, since they believed that Kaguya was real life hime. Oh Kami his wallet was already crying bloody tears. But he had to pay.
Soon after that, both travellers left the hotel and the town, where it was located, to go further on their journey. Even if Jiraiya haven't told her much Kaguya knew that they were looking after some woman who was supposed to check her medical condition. But she felt just fine, even after what was she trough.
"So, what about the eyebrows and what the hell did you told to the people in that hotel about yourself?" asked Jiraiya once they left the town.
"Simple, I told them the truth," she said.
"And that it?" raised his brow Jiraiya since he himself was curious how could people so easily believe little girl that she was actual princess.
"I see you are too old and going senile to remember who is the girl you said you saved," she retorted.
Jiraiya gaped for the second time that day. How could his little cute hime turn into such himedere overnight, literally! The bloody books!
"Please remind this old fool, your origins O hime-sama," he said bowing slightly to her.
"If you beg so much. I am the Otsutsuki Kaguya, the first princess of the great Moon kingdom, the wielder of Buyakugan and inheritor of knowledge of old," she explained like it was natural to her.
Now the great toad-sage from mount Myobokuzan was stunned and speechless.
"And the people believed you? Even the Moon part?" Jiraiya asked, once he regained ability to thing again.
"I did not gave them a choice to not believe," she smiled sweetly like the girl hers age, but the eyes, were cold and serious.
AN: The Moon kingdom? And what in the world is the 'knowledge of old'?
