"Snow sprites huh?" Ethan asks. "Yeah. They pay 1000 Eris for each one killed." Aqua says. "Hmm. If I can Capture one and study it then I'll go. Deal?" Ethan asks. "Deal! I got the same idea actually. Capture a few of them and make a cooler for our drinks." She says.
"Smart. I'll have to talk to Izumi about it but Me and Godzilla are coming." Ethan says.
"Alright then." She says clasping her hands together.
"So you were allowed to come?" Kazuma asks. "Yep." Ethan says. "Alright then. but I gotta ask." He says. "What?"
"What are you even wearing right now?" Kazuma asks.
Ethan raises an Eyebrow and Looks at his winter wear. An open brown Long animal Fur lined trench coat interweaved with demon hair and Metal wire. Under that was a cyan Turtleneck sweater. His pants were padded with cotton to make them warmer and His Snow boots fit snugly.
On his Head a gray beanie hat stood on top and A Red scarf went over his neck and Mouth while it hung loosely to the side and His hands were covered in winter gloves.
"Its my winter wear." He says. "Okay." Kazuma says. "And what is that supposed to mean?" Ethan asks. He then stops to see a white ball of puffy snow float around his face. "So these are snow Sprites huh?" Kazuma comments. "Cute." Ethan comments before forming a Full net in his hands. He Catches about 5 snow sprites together and Puts them in jars.
"Well I got what I need so you guys can Go ahead and do your thing." Ethan says.
"Cool. Seeya later." Kazuma says.
Ethan Meanwhile moves his scarf down to Pull out a cigarette case and Pull onr out. "Damn. Almost out. Better start making more soon." He comments.
He then Places the Cigarette in his mouth. Pulled out a Flame scale and scratches it with his thumb. Setting a spark to light up the cigarette.
He takes in a deep breath and breathes it out. "Yeah that's the shit." Ethan comments.
He notices the fact that the area was beginning to get mistier. He turns around to see what was the cause. Kazuma Fighting a Winter Shogun. And winning.
"Uhm." He thought dropping his cigarette. He watched Kazuma Decapitate and Dismember the shogun with on strike. Removing the sword.
"Hell yeah! This is the adventure that I'm talking about!" Kazuma Yells. "Huh. Well shit then."
Ethan Used his laser eye to focus on any details and such to the magic Katana. "Well for starters this thing definitely needs a level of skill to use but right off the bat. It can Easily freeze your target solid whenever. Next you can also Use this to summon ice based attacks depending on how you swing the blade. For Now until you know a Basic Stance I'll hold onto this." Ethan says putting it back in its scabbard. "What!? No way! I wanna keep it gimme!" Kazuma whines.
"Sorry but not until you know how to use a Blade. Speaking of which didn't you have a weapon commissioned?" Ethan asks.
"Oh yeah. I was gonna cancel the order actually." Kazuma comments. "Don't. It'd be a Waste of metal then. For now you shall use that. I'll be studying the Shogun Blade for anything else and let you know." Ethan says.
"Alright." Kazuma says. "Guess its back to just a Wimpy ass sword here." He complains. "Hey don't complain. It can be a side arm of sorts for you." Ethan comments. "Yeah." He says.
"Kazuma! Kazuma!" Megumin says. "That's my name." He comments. "Check this out. This quest may solve our housing problems!" Megumin says. Kazuma perked up and looked it over. "Did it mention a Mansion?" Ethan asks.
"Yeah!" Megumin nods.
"It says here we gotta get rid of the ghosts that now haunt the place. Other than that we're free to use the mansion as we see fit. I say we take it." He says.
"Would be nice to get out of the inn for a while." Ethan comments.
"I say go for it. I'd always wanted to live in a Mansion. And Hey it might have a Good place to set up the Gateway card at." Izumi comments.
"Hmm. You got a Point. Alright let's do it." Ethan says.
Ethan finished making his new item. Blue alcohol and Black Translucent oil Lava lamp. He set it by his Bedside on the table beside it and Turned it on.
it illuminated the entire room in a very cool glow. "There we go." He smiles.
"It won't suddenly turn off in the middle of the night?" Izumi asks.
"No. I made sure of it. The darkness won't get me now hah hah!" Ethan cheers.
"Whatever makes you slepp at night Honey. Now come to bed." Izumi says. "Yeah Papa!" Eri goads.
"Yeah I know. Papa is coming to bed." Ethan says before stretching his Back and climbing into the bed. The family of three collectively sigh in Relief. "Oh sweet bed. How I missed thee." He says cuddling a Pillow.
"I'll never sleep in the stables again. Oh honey I might just cheat on you with this mattress." Izumi moans. "I would not fault you for that." He says.
"What are you talking about?" Eri asks. "Don't worry about it sweetie. Come here." Izumi says as She Hugs and snuggles Eri. Ethan hugs Izumi closer together along with Eri. "Snuggle time for now." He says.
"Okay." She says. Her drowsiness getting the better of her now.
She eventually fell asleep in between their bodies as Ethan and Izumi. Smiling as none of her worries could reach her at this moment.
(Later)
Ethan Got up to grow a Glowing crystal into his palm. "Gotta pee." He comments.
He Took a Few steps out the doorway towards the bathroom when his Crystal is suddenly shattered by an Arrow. Darkness consumed him.
"AAAAAAAAGHAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screams.
Izumi woke up with a Start along with Eri. "Oh crap Ethan!" She exclaims. She then notices the dols around her. "Oh... Fuck..." she whimpers.
She and Eri scream as they run out to find Aqua. "AQUA!" They yell.
Meanwhile Ethan was Clinging to a Support beam like his life depended on it. His body shaking like a Leaf. "Idontwannagobackidontwannagobackitstooscarythevoidwillcompletelyconsumemepleasesomebodysaveme!" He cries.
The Support beam suddenly cracks into pieces. He fell to see a doll Holding a Hammer.
AAAAAAAAAAGHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAA!" He screams again.
Aqua panted as She finally exorcised the last ghost there is. "There. That should be it." She says. "Ethan! Where are you!" Izumi shouts. "Papaaaaaa! Please come out!" Eris shouts. "Brooooo! Its me Kazuma! Its safe to come out now." Kazuma shouts.
"What are you doing?" Aqua asks. "Its Ethan. He's afraid of the dark." Kazuma says utterly worried now.
"I found him!" Megumin shouts.
"Ethan!" Kazuma shouts as he, Izumi, and Eri run to Megumin.
"But he's 15 isn't he?" Aqua asks.
"I'll admit I didn't expect him to be scared of anything honestly." Darkness comments.
"Me Neither." Aqua says.
Meanwhile Ethan was curled up into a Ball. His Illusion to hide his cat ears and Tail gone to show all his fur was on edge.
"Someone please hold me." He whimpers.
"Ethan!" Izumi says. "Papa!" Eri yells before hugging him. "Oh Ethan I'm so sorry I didn't come get you." Izumi apologizes.
"I was-s-s so scared!" Ethan tears up. Even more when his Brother came in to hug him. "Dude I am so sorry that this had to happen! I shod never have convinced you to stay." Kazuma cries.
"P-please don't c-cry." Ethan pleads. Himself already crying.
"Why is he so afraid then?" Aqua asks Her party members. "I'm not sure." Megumin says.
"Well regardless we shouldn't make fun of him for it. He's Suffered enough as is." Darkness says. "Yeah." Aqua comments.
"Let's leave them be for now." Megumin says as they walk away to let the family cry their hearts out.
And Scene.
