(Mid Chapter Authors Notes)
Neo gently shakes me awake.
"Mn?" I blearily hum as I sit up. "What is it?"
"Tree." She hisses into my ear.
"What about it?"
"It's grown!" She grins. "Pie time!~"
"Right now?" I slowly ask as I look to the clock. "Neo... it's fucking three Am... come back to bed."
She frowns slightly.
"If you come back to bed, I'll do anything you ask" I sigh out.
"…"
She slowly nods and crawls back into bed. "alright then."
She leans close and whispers into my ear. "Bake me an apple pie."
"…"
"I give you the go-ahead to do literally ANYTHING to me... and you use it on pie." I groan as I slowly sit up. "Alright, you little shit. I'm going."
She claps happily and jumps out of bed.
I rub my forehead. "What am I going to do with you?"
"Love me?" She asks.
Her voice has been getting better, but she still doesn't like to speak much.
I stand up and walk into the living room.
"…" I stare blankly at the floating orb with stunned silence... Neo by my side looking at it with excitement.
Inside the orb, is a stocky little tree reaching up towards the top of the sphere... it has bright green leaves and small white blossoms... growing from the tree is a single apple, with snow-white skin and a glossy finish... the stem is a little thick, green, and fresh looking... it really goes well with the white, actually.
The stunning thing, isn't about the fact the fruit has grown... it's that it has grown to this size.
It's about the size of a watermelon- one of those spherical ones, not the oval shaped ones- and according to Neo, it hasn't grown anymore in the past six hours, meaning that it is probably fully grown.
It took like a week for the tree to sprout and produce, when normally it would take upwards of five years... though I suppose it helps that the tree doesn't need to grow into its full size... plus its growth rate has probably been multiplied by at least ten.
It was a bit bigger than normal apple, around grapefruit sized when I went to bed... but like, in the process of turning white, so I thought 'eh, it'll be ripe in the morning, we'll wait until then... hey, I wonder why it is only growing one... this tree could probably support at least FIVE!'
The tree is bending slightly under the weight of the apple.
I let out a long sigh.
"Neo... I don't think we'll have enough of anything to turn that monster into apple pie..."
She smiles and taps the side of her head, gesturing towards the kitchen which she begins walking towards, stumbling briefly as she meets where the carpet becomes tile.
I slowly follow along.
In the kitchen are several new pie pans that I know we didn't have before, a sack of flour, a carton of eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and a couple other things needed for making a pie fully from scratch.
"…"
"Of course, you planned ahead." I sigh. "Well, let's get this over with..."
Several steaming pies sit upon the counter top, peacefully cooling... unknowing what awaits them in five to ten minutes.
I audibly swallow as Neo herself is desperately fighting off her urges to cut the pies as they are and scald her mouth with the molten pie filling.
"M-Maybe we should go back to the bedroom..."
She slowly nods along as she gazes longingly at one of the pies.
"T-They should be cool pretty soon, right?"
She nods again as we walk into the bedroom... luckily the door had been closed, locking out SOME of the delicious smell of cinnamon, sugar, and apple.
I hold up a small jar of seeds in between my index finger and thumb. "Sooo what should we do with the seeds?"
The seeds are pretty large... about the size of a grape. "Plant them across Patch? Sell them?"
She taps her chin. "Why even sell them?"
"Eh, I had a rough plan of getting super rich, maybe making a company that will eventually get so popular the world couldn't live without it anymore... sort of like the SDC... then when the bastards over at the SDC eventually try to make a partnership I shoot down any and all negotiations just to spite them because something Jacques did- at the time I made the company- upwards of ten to twenty years ago~"
"Buuuut then I realized that I'd have to do paperwork, act all prim and proper, manage my image, y'know, a bunch of fucking hassles... so I sort of trashed the idea... I'm not that good at contract shit to begin with, so why even try?"
She taps her chin, then gives me a thumbs up.
"So, what do you think I should do with the seeds? The apple tree isn't something that needs to be replanted every time I harvest it, so I really don't need more seeds."
"Apple seeds have Cyanide in them!" She adds in while smiling brightly.
"…"
"Neat..." I state with a slowly forming frown. "But you still didn't really answer the question."
"I don't know." She shrugs. "Don't look at me, they're your seeds."
She looks back towards the door and inhales deeply, a small smile appearing on her face. "Can't stop thinking about pie~"
She turns to me. "it has to cool, righ-" *Cough*
"It does... are you done talking for a while? Your throat starting to tickle?"
She slowly nods, signing "How long?"
"Eh, I'd say ten minutes?"
"So long..." She whispers, rubbing her throat.
She looks down with a small grin before looking up to me and signing out her thoughts. "If only I had something to distract me... perhaps a fit boyfriend who would absolutely demolish me."
She puts the back of her hand on her forehead for a moment. "But, alas, here we are, with clothing, and only ten minutes to spare... barely enough to even begin."
"But after?" I ask.
She seems briefly caught off guard at my sudden forward-ness.
"You tainted me. Deal with it." I scoff.
She slowly blinks, a smile splitting her face quickly after.
She stands on the tips of her toes, planting a small kiss on my cheek before whispering into my ear. "Don't worry, I'll be taking re-spons-a-bil-it-y~"
"Lewd."
She lets out a quiet huff of laughter.
"Alllright... let's see if I can get anything worthwhile..." I mutter under my breath as I pull the trigger.
My general plan is that 'hey, I've gotten more aura, I've got the night's edge, a dragon, I do that thing where I can go really fast for short periods of time, I might have lost four thousand Mp, but I'm still probably strong enough to take on another boss... and it's probably the fastest way to actually regain my lost strength to begin with! Well, if I do the beowolf one that is... the creep dragon's quest has been done.
And I do actually have the beowolf's boss card on me... but I don't feel comfortable fighting it without a legendary weapon... and I might die without spooky hole lady looking out for me.
I might be a little confident because I ACTUALLY managed to beat Neo through aura-loss once!
But... she has gotten a lot clumsier recently... I guess that's the drawback for suddenly growing four to five inches... but she seems to be enjoying it... and is getting better... slowly... she is having to change her fighting style slightly as she can't climb all over a person anymore.
A hidden benefit is that people won't call me a pedophile anymore if our relationship status gets out in a couple of years... so that's swell.
*Pomph*
Guns scatter across the clearing... nothing really good, a single rare... a couple of greens, and two commons.
"Arf! Arf!"
I slowly blink at turn my head.
At the edge of the clearing as a small corgi, wriggling as it wags its tail, its tongue lolling out of its mouth as it tilts its head slightly.
"A Dog?"
"ZWEIIIIIII!" A voice shouts as a small whirlwind of rose petals swerves into the clearing, washing over the dog and pulling it along as it arcs further into the clearing.
It smashes into the ground and a figure appears as it slides a bit farther on its back.
A girl sits up, dog clutched to her chest, grass stains all over a red cloak and the back of her legs. "Zwei! What did I say about running away! I get it, you are afraid of the Ve- I mean, that place- but you can't just run away!"
The alien-looking gun in my hands disappears as I quickly revert it back into a card.
The dog lets out another bark.
The girl seems to realize that she isn't alone as her eyes stray to where I am stating.
"A person?- OH GODS A PERSON!"
She blushes profusely and scatters into rose petals again, spiraling up and away from me, eventually making it to a tree which the storm whirls behind.
The girl pokes her head out from around the tree trunk, dog clutched to her chest.
"U-Uh, hi..." The girl calls out.
"Hi." I state with a small frown.
"S-So, what are you doing this far out of Patch?" She asks.
"Training."
She gasps. "You're training to be a huntsmen?!"
She blurs over to me. "I am too! Ohmygosh that so COOL! I've always wanted to be a huntress, and next year I start my first year at signal! My mom was a huntress, and while I could help people as a police officer, being a huntress just seems so much more romantic and cooler!"
She pulls out a stack of papers from behind her. "I've even started making my weapon in advance!"
"Ooh! Ooh!" She exclaims, letting down the dog which she seems to have forgotten about for a moment. "Can you show me your weapons-"
Her eyes trail around the clearing, seeing the many strewn guns.
"…"
She blurs around the clearing snatching up the assorted weaponry. "OHMYGOSH! YOU SHOULDN'T LEAVE YOUR WEAPONS LAYING AROUND IN THE DIRT! WHAT SORT OF MONSTER ARE YOU?!"
"I was going to pick them up... but someone decided to interrupt me." I state with a half-lidded expression. "You can have those. They are too low-quality for what I am looking for... and besides, they'll disappear within a week anyways."
She gasps. "I can HAVE these?!"
She pauses for a moment, a sniper, assault rifle, and a bazooka held firmly grasped within her arms, clutched to her chest while she holds a pistol and an smg by the barrels with her hands. "Waitaminute- you said these will only last a week?! Is- is your semblance that you create weaponry?!"
'she can't see the weapon prompts... what the hell? Couldn't Neo see them?'
"it is."
She looks down at the sword attached to a loop in my belt. "oooooh purple."
"Well..." I state as I abruptly turn around. "I have to go back home."
"O-Okay... M-Maybe I'll see you later, then!" The girl waves.
The dog lets out another bark and scampers off into the forest again.
"ZWEIIIIII!" The girl roars as she turns into another swarm of rose petals, guns nearly falling out of her grasp.
"…"
"Soooo, I met a crazy girl in the woods today." I hum as I look down at my book.
Neo tilts her head slightly as she looks over to me.
"Eh, not really 'Crazy' like you I suppose... but energetic about certain things... like weapons... and being a huntress... she doesn't even come close to scratching the surface of your crazy."
The multicolored girl pouts but doesn't speak due to her mouth being full of pie.
But she does poke her elbow into my side.
We are put into a comfortable silence as Neo finishes her pie... she is quite a little glutton actually... when it comes to Ice Cream or sweet things in general... but Huntsmen can eat really whatever the hell they want and burn it off with even their passive aura.
Aura is also probably how Professor Branwen isn't dead yet via kidney failure... considering there hasn't been a point where I have seen him not buzzed or hung over.
I cover my mouth as I yawn, Neo deciding to get up walk to the kitchen to either get another slice of pie or put her plate in the sink.
She sits down without her plate a minute or two later, so I assume it was the latter.
"Hey Neo?" I ask.
"Hm?"
"You ever wonder what it would be like if you were based off Neapolitan Pizza instead of Ice cream?"
"…"
Her hand gently slaps against my forehead. "Go to bed. You're talking nonsense."
"Eh, you're right." I shrug. "I'm pretty tired right now... I guess I will be going to bed."
She drapes herself across me. "Carry me."
"…" I take a moment to formulate a reply. "Alright?"
I pick her up easily... she is quite light now that I think about it... but anything is sort of light when you have Aura, I suppose...
She grins cheerfully as she leans up from my bridal carry and kisses me on the lips.
I nearly drop her.
"Is that code for 'you aren't getting any fucking sleep tonight'?" I sigh. "Again?"
"Nah..." The girl shakes her head. "I'm tired too... only sleep."
"And cuddles." She adds on at the very end.
"Your voice getting under control yet?" I slowly ask.
"Nearly!" She grins.
"Cool, cool." I shrug, pausing at the edge of the bed for a moment.
I abruptly drop her into the bed.
She snorts as she latches onto my arm and rolls over, much like a crocodile which had grabbed onto its prey.
I am forced to roll over her as she basically body slams me onto my side of the bed.
"A death roll? Really? You can never let me win, can you?"
She shakes her head as she smiles mischievously.
I let out a long groan as I rub my forehead. "What am I going to do with you, Neo?"
"Love me!"
"Fair." I shrug.
A large figure smashes into the ground, a large gash in its long neck as white glitter spreads across its body.
It lets out a loud dying roar as it writhes on the ground, then simply disappears into black smoke.
I take off the awkward helmet I was wearing with a sigh.
MUCH easier to kill it this time... I honestly didn't even break a sweat... nor did my aura even get touched beyond what I myself drained.
But I didn't get Mp this time... so it was sort of pointless...
I look to the three cubes and the sack of loot.
Well, not entirely I suppose...
I grab the sack, then toss the three cubes into my deck as it flashes to life beside me.
'I wish I had some sort of extra-dimensional space to put all my shit into...'
I let out a sigh and shake my head, then make my way back home.
"Did you finally do it?" The blonde asks the heterochromatic girl sitting beside her.
The multicolored girl practically beams with a smile. "Yep!"
"WHATTHESHIT-" the blonde's eyes widen.
"To explain shortly, fucking my boyfriend gave me height and my voice back."
"…"
"Damn... I noticed you got a bit taller, but I wasn't going to say anything..." The fallen girl frowns, before getting a slightly mischievous grin. "So. What was it like? He ha dick apparently~"
"Glorious... everything I wanted and more."
"OI!" I call out from the kitchen. "Can you two not discuss my sex life?"
"It's mine too! And I'll do whatever I want with it! I'll even post it on twitter! So don't test me!" Neo calls back.
"mnnn." I quietly groan as I scrub a pie pan out.
I look to see Neo offer Mittelt a tray of cubed apples.
"Hm?" Mittelt hums as she grabs a toothpick from the edge of the tray and stabs it into one.
She takes a bite.
"WH- OH MY GOSH ITS SO SWEET!"
Neo just smiles.
"NOOoooOOOO! I don't want you to gooooooooo! Tell them you're sick! I won't let them have youuuu!" A voice cries as she grabs onto my ankles.
"Neo... I have to go... school is important." I deadpan down to her.
"B-But it's only the first day! Y-you can stay for today, right?!" The asks.
"I can't." I state with a small frown. "If you think this is bad... just wait till I get into Beacon."
She looks up at me, tears brimming her eyes.
I wince and look up at the ceiling, bag hoisted over my shoulder. "Don't look at me like that! I'll be home in a couple hours... then we can do whatever you want."
"A-Anything?" She whispers.
"Within reason." I frown back down at her.
"C-Can we at least have some fun to hold me over till you get back?!" She asks.
"I don't want to publicly announce to all my faunus classmates 'hi, I have sex'." I state in an even tone.
"B-But what about a kiss?!"
"…"
"Fine."
She lets out a small cheer as she hops to her feet, grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulling me downwards.
She presses her lips to my own, slipping in a little tongue here and there.
After about thirty seconds I eventually have to call it quits.
I pull back. "You done now?"
"No." She pouts.
"I need to leave."
"But do you reaaaally?" She asks with a slightly flirtatious smirk as she traces a circle on my chest with her index finger.
"Yeah." I state.
She looks a little hurt that I shrugged her off so easily.
"We can do all that other stuff you wanted to do when I get home... don't worry." I state as I turn around and walk to the door. "I'll be back soon enough... I just need to quickly re-confirm my place as class number one."
"I'm going to hold you to that, you big meanie." She growls with her arms crossed.
"Cool." I state with a half-lidded stare. "I'll be going then."
"Be safe I l-love you!"
I scratch my temple. "I love you too... midget."
I open the door and close it behind me as she lets out an adorable little growl.
'welp... now to school.'
I'm already dreading being in a room with more than four people.
Hoo boy... I'm so uninspired rn~ like fuck! I could probably pull off another chapter of this easily, but I don't want to be known for ONLY this! so I'm thinking about deleting Ascension In Remnant (The shorter one with reflection powers) from Flame's Trash (Because I'm going to try and make a story out of it) so it should be posting any time now... but I probably wont delete it for a while... should I just delete it and repost it in its own story, or should I only do that AFTER I finish chapter 2? Cause as it is now, it would just be reposting everything you have already seen.
WELP, onto the guest reviews.
Dear Guest 001: The great... 'yeetening'? What do you mean by that?
Dear Guest 002 commenting on chapter 11: Her name is Levi Bress, not Bree. Though, they might be distantly related.
Dear Kyuubismasamune: He did indeed... all parties are quite pleased about it.
ANYWAYS, that's all of the ones that have any sort of real question or thing I can comment on.
I'll see you all (Hopefully) next week! Or maybe not considering I have nothing prepared! Toodles~
