{Somewhere in some forest, 02:45 pm, day 1, 3rd pov}
...
The scene opens in an unnamed forest far out of the human settlement, wildlife roaming around, large and small of different kinds as well as some fairy playing around or taking naps, you can hear the bird singing their innocent song of nature.
It is all quite peaceful, but all of this is not our main focus.
There is a figure currently walking in this forest, the figures appear to be a human male, why he's' here far out of the village has yet to be known.
He appears to be a tall young man in his early twenties, wearing a grey long coat over a white button-up shirt and another dark blue undershirt, Black Jean and belt, and bronze boots.
Yet the most strangest part of his appearance may have been his hair, it was mostly silvery-grey but a part of his front lock was navy blue running to the left side, he having some earrings, a necklace chain around his neck, its appearance was hiding under his white shirt, while his facial can only be described as a Bishounen in the modern time.
But the most catching part of his feature is his eyes, it was Golden, the golden eye of the wolf, and yet there is a hint of hidden depression...
He is moving through the forest but doesn't seem to have lost his way. In his right hand are bags of different items and in his left arm were two welly made bouquets of beautiful blue-rose, a very rare type of western flower, especially in the eastern wonderland.
As he walks through the forest, the small peaceful creature either frightens and runs away or just stares cautiously, some bigger one and fairy just don't care and mind their own business.
...
...
...
Finally, he came out from the forest and to a small cleaning area, the grassy ground was nicely kept clean, rivers nearby filled with aquatic creatures.
But there is a house, a two-story modern Japanese wooden house.
There doesn't seem to be anyone home though, but the place was well kept, free of any dirt and dust.
Knowing nobody was home, the young man makes his way to the back of the house and from there...
...
Gravestone...
...
lying behind the house a few feet away are two Zen-style gravestones.
The one on the left side has the name of the person resting here.
Mako Akiya.
Forever Wife and Loving Mother.
The other one is...
Kyla Akiya.
Blessed Friends and Lovely Fiancée
...
The young man then lays the two bouquets in front of each of the graves, giving them a nod then goes to the house and goes inside, it is most likely him.
...
...
...
He came back a few moments later with a wooden tub of water and various cleaning tools.
He goes over and begins cleaning each of the graves, making sure there isn't a single speck of dust on them, cleaning the flower vase, and replacing the old water with new and purer one, placing each of the bouquets in the water-filled vase on each of the graves.
When he finishes, he searches through the bag and takes out a matchbox, candle, and incense sticks.
Burning the candle with matches, then ignited the incense sticks with the fire on the candle.
Waving a bit to put out the fire on the stick, then placing some to the spot of each of the graves, letting the smoke fill the surrounding, and pour more water over the two graves.
Hands flat together and praying in complete silence, the only sound there was, are the sound of the running river and the song of nature.
...
...
...
"Mother... Just like always, I came back with the Flower you and Kyla love so much, it wasn't easy, but I was able to find the root and a small area near the village to plant them and after some time, what a surprise that it came out Blue, just like the one you like..." He spoke to the grave of Mako Akiya.
...
...
...
There was no response, but even if it seems like a one-sided conversation, at least it will give him a spiritual belief that the loving mother is listening to the voice of her son...
"I have been doing well in all of this time, well, as well as it can be anyway, I got retired from my job as the village enforcer due to being passing the 'serviceable age', meaning they say I'm an old man now, hah, can you believe it? With this face, they say I'm old… Well, maybe that's not so wrong..."
He's twenty right?
Right...???
"Sigh, truth is, they, the village council just want to get rid of me out of the rank, they always have a clear as the day distaste for me and I know why, being who and what I am..."
It'd seem this Young? Old? Mans was one a part of the human village enforcement.
"Colonel Namikaze and some of my colleagues were against it, but I don't want to cause them any more trouble, so I've signed up my retirement and get pay, it doesn't matter though, I have enough cash to live off my life for at least ten years, it only a matter of time before I get another job, though a lot have say I should making a western restaurant close by the village..."
That... Might not be such a bad idea, especially if the people are interested in the outside world cuisine.
...
...
...
He goes all silent, can't figure out what else to say to the deceased mother.
"Mother... I... Love you, just... Take some rest alright...?" He says while keeping his voice and emotions in check, can't allow himself be breaking down now...
The silence found its place again.
Then, his eyes lean at the other gravestone, Kyla Akiya...
...
His fist-clenching, angry blood vein can be seen, teeth grinding hard and eyes shut.
"Kyla... That night... How could it become like this... Why did it have to happen...!? 'Till this day, I still can't find the answer... Why...!?"
another victim of the tragic night…?
...
...
...
He did not say anything else, he couldn't, there is only the feeling of regret and resentment of himself...
...
Sensing some presence behind him, but didn't turn back, already knew they did not have hostile intent and why they're here, like always...
...
Standing behind him are three female humans, well, not human if you look at some obvious giveaway.
The first woman appears to be the oldest, wear a white short-sleeve blouse and a black bow beneath the yellow-maple color collar, a dark-red skirt down above her knees, white socks, and a strange Japanese wooden red shoe 'Geta' that makes you wonder how they were able to stand and walk with perfect balance.
She has pointy ears, semi-long black hair, ruby-red eyes, on her head is a strange hat-like box 'Tokin' that has three fur balls on each side of her sidelock.
But the most prominent determine of her appearance is the pair of jet-black winged, wings of the crow.
The wind seems to flow around her being, making her hair and feathers fly, like a fallen angel of the wind.
The next female appears to be in her seventeen, wearing a white sleeveless top that explores her shoulder and having two furballs in front of it, detached white sleeves, a long black skirt with red flame-like designs reaching up from the bottom of the skirt, single tooth geta.
Behind her back is a white, diamond-shaped shield with a red maple leaf emboli on it and a large scimitar-like sword in scabbards that seems a bit too big for her.
Yet the most abnormal and natural thing about her appearance is the pair of wolf-like ears on top of her short snow-white lock, a red tokin, and to aid to the obviousness of what she was, there's a wolf tail behind her lower back.
Her red eyes were just like him, the eyes of the White Wolf.
The last of the trio is a young girl who appears to be fourteen, her clothing looks like a worker uniform, a blue dress with lots of pockets around the hem of the skirt and her upper arm, a giant dark aquamarine backpack, and a golden key for a necklace, blue wellington boots.
Her headwear is an army green hat with a white wispy symbol on it, river-blue hair tied into twintails.
Aquatic-blue eyes, as blue as the sea.
All three of them bought some flowers and offered items, fruit, candy, and sake, etc.
He turns back to greet them with a nod, maintaining his emotion, not showing a single sign of anger or sadness, just a blank cold mask.
They exchange greetings and he's stepping back to let the three women offering the gift and flower, each of them offer a prayer, and one by one speak to the two people resting beneath the stone, it seems the three of them having connections with the two Akiya in one way or another...
...
...
...
{03:30 pm}
After a while, the four of them go to the house and relax from the exhaustion of wherever they all came from.
Inside the house is what you can expect from the outside, it was quite similar to a well-made modern wooden house, with shoe cases in front of the entrance door.
The living room has Tatami floors, big enough to house a party, tea tables, and sitting cushions, an electronic chandelier hanging on the ceiling, bookshelf, store cabinet, and...
A freaking 1970s disk player, currently playing an old foreign song.
You've got to appreciate the Classic.
Moving on, the cleanest bathroom, not even a cockroach wouldn't dare to step in, it has everything you've could ever dream to have, EVERYTHING.
Laundry... Nothing to say here, just wash your clothes.
Next, The perfect kitchen with everything you desire! pod, pan, rice cooker, etc, Knife... lots of Knives, but the most important piece of all of this is...!
The Refrigerator...!
Hasta la vista, Freezing.
up the stair, Is another bathroom, less interesting though, just for a quick business solver...
The Master and Guest sleeping room, it's all the same though, the only difference is the 'Master's Room' kanji sign on one of the doors, another guest room's door has the name of the person currently using this room, 'Inubashiri Momiji' who...?
Overall, it is a perfect liveable Japanese house, with the surrounding nature for peace and quiet...
Butt...
...
...
...
It's missing the TV!!!
Ahem, anyway.
In the living room, the ladies are preparing the table for some mid-afternoon lunch, the wolf girls are setting the table, be sure that it fits all four of them and the around of food will be sitting on this table.
The crow girl's ready the drink, Sake, lots of Sake, today they'll drink until their minds fly with the wind.
In the kitchen, surprisingly, the young man can cook with quite an impression of skill. The aqua girl, without her oversized backpack, is taking notes as the man teaches her how to make different dishes with cucumber.
A few moments later, many foreign cuisines were displayed eye-catching and delicious-looking on the table, Russia's Borscht, France's Cassoulet, German's Gurkensalat, and more! How does he make all these in such short times...!?
The ladies did nothing to hide their eagerness to try all of this delicious cuisine, the smell, the look, mouths already water! all was made and prepared like it was cooked for a Queen, well, in this case, three Queens!
"Bon appétit, Dames." He says confidently, even goes so far as to make a Butler's bow.
"""Hai!!! Bon appetit!!!""" They all say the word, even though they might not know what it means.
Thus, they enjoy the meal, not needing to hold back, for there is plenty more to eat, food tasting for free!
"Oh, Kami...! Ayaya Yes! You have no idea how long we've been waiting for this. Momiji and I skipped lunch to make room for these moments. The waiting was totally worth it! sipping... Ah~! that hit the spot!" the wing-woman 'Ayaya'? says as she enjoys the food and drinks, the other vote they're approved in some way while having mouthfuls of food.
"Well, then be sure you eat a lot to the point you wouldn't need dinner." He replies as he takes a seat, out of his long coat that's nowhere to be seen.
He helps himself with his own creation, Ayaya pours his glass with some well-made sake she bought.
They enjoy their meal and some conversation, mostly just how anyone's been doing so far, what project they're working on, what news they've heard, and such.
"Ayahaha! Morishika-san says it has a special effect on all types of dogs, so I thought what about a wolf and bought the ball, when I throw and tested it out on Momiji, she illegally runs after and catches it with her mouth! I can't believe it! Ayahaha!" Miss Ayaya? Retelling them a fun story preference to a certain dog girl, who is now blushing with embarrassment.
"Wo-Woof!? Aya-senpai! You promise not to say anything about that! woff~! This is so embarrassing~! If the other Wolf tengu knows of this~~~!" The white wolf girl 'Momiji', tries to hide her face from the humility of such possibility, although her tail is a different story.
And ah, so that was her name, Aya.
Awaken! My Master!
Ayayayaaaa~~~!
*dubstep*
*cough!* Sorry! not there yet.
"Hehehe~! Ayaya... So, what about you, Argi-kun? Anything interesting on your end? How were you doing? Being part of the human village enforcer I mean." She'd ask the only man at the table
Argi? He's mostly quiet and listens to others, speaks and answers when the conversations are direct at him.
"Former enforcer you mean, I'm retired, interesting? Not so much I'm afraid if you're looking for something to put in the newspaper." He replies to her calmly while taking a drink of his glass.
"Nami!? You're retired? What happens?" She sounds surprised, she knows he was good at his job as the village enforcer and even a detective, it pays well in her opinion, so why did he just up and retire? Well...
"It goes like this..."
Thus, he's telling them how the village council illegally just gave the order for him to be retired on active duty with the most reason being...
"Ahhahahaha! Hehe~! Hehehe~! Ayaya! No way! With that face and they call you old!? You illegally look twenty! Or was it because of the grey hair? That's why you dry it blue! argi-ojisan! That makes my day!" She says while holding her side that starts to hurt from the laugh.
"Never ask a man his age, and I didn't dry my hair, it comes naturally somehow." Say Ojisan crossing his arm, he didn't seem very annoyed by this though, and silently laughed at that himself.
"Hehe, that only applies to women, but what are you gonna do now? You don't have a job, meaning no money, and when you don't have cash means..." She's silent for a moment, and starts to realize the most horrible reality, that is...!
"AYAYA!! No more delicious food to eat 'cause you broke! This can't be happening!!"
What...? that the most concerning thing she thought about?
"Don't worry your head about it, I got enough cash to live off myself for at least ten years, I'll probably get a new job around that time, though I did thoughts about starting a small restaurant somewhere close by the village, which is welcome to both human and youkai as long as they don't cause trouble." He drinks his glass as he explains to them the business plan.
"Ayaya!! No way! That meant no more free food! We're gonna have to pay the bills!" Now she's complaining? it's not like she's poor like a certain shrine maiden.
Ahem, sorry, ex-poor shrine maiden.
For the time being anyway.
"You complain too much, it's called business and business means money. Besides, how am I supposed to buy cooking supplies without cash? Deal with it."
"But are you okay with it? Being retired I mean, those from the village didn't seem to appreciate your efforts in protecting them no matter how long you've been doing it and now they even straight-up fired you, so why bother doing so all this year? With your skill, you would have easily moved up to the rank in the tengu military, especially the wolf tengu unit despite you're not really one, Fenris-senpai." This time Momiji asked him, addressing him with yet another name.
...!
He stops halfway from drinking the alcohol when heard of her address him with that name.
His hand gripping hard on the glassy cup to the point others worry it might break and injure him.
...
...
...
"O-Oh, eh... Gomen'nasai... I didn't mean to..." She apologizes upon realizing her mistake, it was no secret to them that he despite that name.
...
Seeing that he's making the ladies feel uncomfortable, he quickly calmed himself by closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, and slowly expanding...
Downing his glass in one go and lending it on the table, now his expression just goes stone cold.
"Under normal circumstances then yeah you're right about that, why bother? But the thing is, my family kinda have a debt to repay, not for the village as a whole but for the elders, elder Sarutobi to be precise, my family owns him a lot of things, including this house here, so when I'm was old enough to understand that, I intend to repay that debt, joining the village enforcement was just part of that purpose, but there's also..."
...
He stops for a moment to collect his thoughts, he's never talked this much about his past or reason for doing things, prefer to keep to himself most of the time.
But if it was his friend and those he truly trust, he can open up to them, it's only a little...
"...A promise... I have... A promise to someone, that I will protect that village." ...
...
...
...
A strange silence comes after that, Momiji and Aya were the ones most aware of his past, what he has wanted through most of his life.
"Aw well, if that's your decision then we'll support you at it, just do what you feel is right." Aya says as she pours more sake into his glass.
Still a bit upset by her mistake, Momiji just silently nods in supporting him, though she can't help but feel a sense of trouble in her chest at the mention of someone that is not her.
It has been for a long, long, time ago...
"Mmmh, Arigatō Min'na, and Aya-neesama, this is good, if you bring me more of this I might consider making you free food." He said as he enjoyed his glass.
"Hehe, it's been a while since I heard you call me that, and yeah, those Oni sure love this stuff, if there's anything they're good at except smashing things, they have good taste and high standard in making drinks." She says as she takes a drink with her glass of Oni's sake.
"Anyway, if you're gonna go with that restaurant plan of yours then you gonna need help around to manage it, you can't run the whole place all by yourself in case there are too many customers, hehe... Besides, who could resist coming to a restaurant with a lot of pretty girls as waiters running around~? I say an outfit like that girl from the Scarlett devil mansion will do the job! Mmm, Wonder what it likes to wear one..."
"Why does it suddenly feel like my restaurant just became a gathering place for horny teenagers with weird fetishes...?" He says deadpanning...
Oh, God... That hurt... A lot...
{Shot through the heart!}
{And you're to blame!}
{Argi, you give boys a bad name!}
"Oh, and... Eh, i-in case you need anything fixed and repaired, electricity and all... just call me o-okay...?" the aqua girl, for the first time in the entire conversation says something, nervously so…
"Mmmm, thanks Nitori, I think I will need that sooner than you thought, gots a few things that will require a skilled technician, I don't do so well with those." He replies to her offer with what can only be described as 'Bishounen's Lady Killer Smile'
Oh~ My~!
Ahem, sorry, anyway, it didn't take much for two particular young girls to blush from that, the only one who didn't was Aya-neesama since she most likely views him as a younger brother figure, even when they look to be the same age, looks can deceive.
"Ayaya... Alright lady killers, let's just finish eating all this food before you kill some poor girl. Eat up, girls! And uh, boys..."
"There's no gender equality here..." Says Mr. Stoic's face... Can't disagree though...
And thus, they continue to their little afternoon food and drink party, engage in conversation and joke.
Just like always, in this house...
...
...
...
{04:35 pm}
...
An hour later after food and drink.
We found the poor crow woman laying on the floor, her eyes spinning, mouth wide open and saliva slipping out, her stomach's bigger than before as though she was bearing Egg.
She drinks until her mind fly to the wind.
The other in different parts of the house, doing various stuff.
Nitori is checking on the laundry's washing machine, she didn't get drunk 'cause She drinks salt water instead.
Yes, Salt Water.
Momiji goes to her guest's room and takes a nap, today is her day off duty.
Argi-san is washing the dishes in the sink and having some thoughts for himself.
...
...
...
(Now that I have some time for myself, there's something strange' happen today, I didn't bring it up to the conversation 'cause I don't want to worry them but as around twelve-thirty this morning I suddenly feel a burst of spiritual energy somewhere in the distant, I can't tell want it's was but nobody appears to notice it, otherwise Aya-neesama will most lively goes to investigate. so, why am I the only one who notices it? Or can it only be sensed by a few select individuals? A signal perhaps? What does this mean...?)
(He who Bear the Spirit of the Wolf)
...!?!?!?
(Argent... Fenris...)
*Click!*
Shocks of Suddenly hearing someone speaking his full name, he pulls out a silver Desert Eagle hidden under his shirt and aiming behind his back!
His eyes search around for any corner in the kitchen but can't find who or what could have spoken his name, must less that name, the name that he despised and only a few know, very few.
...
...
...
(What the hell...!? Someone just spoke my name...!? But I can't sense anything here, no malice spiritual energy nearby, just us in the house, telepathy? And what does it mean 'bear the spirit of the wolf'? It is referring to my ability...? What's going on...?)
"Akiya-Nii-chan? It's something -!?"
*click!*
...!?!?!?
...
...
...
Nitori goes to check on him when she hearing a clicking sound, it's was a familiar sound to her, it's was she who gave him that murder weapon...
And now... He points the silver barrel at her, finger on the trigger, the cold and deadly Goldeneyes of the wolf to its prey...
...
...
...
A moment of deafening silence...
Until he finally snaps out of it and comes to his senses, realizing what he is doing he quickly places the firearm on the kitchen table, facing away from her, trying to calm himself down.
She also snaps out of the shock and comes closer to check at him, careful not to make any sudden movement.
...
"Akiya-nii-chan...? Daijōbu...? What's wrong...?" She asks concerningly as she stands beside him and lends her hand on his back.
with the height difference of their form, she only reached a bit below his torso, not counting the hat.
...
"... I'm alright... Don't worry about it, I must have been more drunk than I thought, no doubt it's an Oni stuff..." He replies to her calmly while still facing away, feeling guilty...
"Akiya... Argent-niichan, are you truly feeling well? I'm not a doctor but maybe you should go to sleep for a bit, you did work hard to cook for us after all, so, go get some rest, you'll feel better." She advises him while using his first name, they must have been very close to each other...
"You know, that actually sounds like a good idea, I should've expect nothing less from the genius." He praised her and finally turned to face his healthy adviser, smiled.
"Hehe... You flatter me, I'm pretty sure my skills are just as average as any other Koppa." Blushing she says.
"Can't take a compliment, aren't you? Alright, I'll go and take some rest, but before that..."
...!?
"Argent-niichan...?"
...
"Arigatō, Nitori, you are always so thoughtful and look after me, thank you, Nitori..." He says as he embraces her, letting her head rest on his chest.
"Argent..." She slowly wraps her own arm around his middle, Relaxing and dreaming for this moment to last, however long it may be...
...
...
...
Unknown to them, however, hearing the click of his weapon with incredible sense, Momiji has also come down to check on him, sword in hand, expecting danger, but...
Now the only thing in danger was her own heart, it pained her.
...
...
...
Not wanting to disturb them she stealthily retreated to the stair and her room despite how she felt and tried to sleep through it…
Keywords 'Tried'
...
"Sigh~ Ayaya... kid this day, all secrets and stuff, why don't they just come up straight with it? oh, Kami-sama, I start to sound like an old grammy... Sigh~ over a thousand years and I'm still single..." Aya complains about things as she looks at the scene before her.
Strangely, somehow her stomach has gone back to its original size, where did all the eggs go...???
She looks outside to the sky and feels the wind as it finds its way to the house.
(I wonder if there's anything interesting going on, gonna need something to put on the paper, and also if someone's waiting for me out there... Okay, where did that part come from...??? Must be the sake and those kids doing their thing. Yup, it is my life, Shameimaru Aya, Newspaper, Drink, food, and still Waiting for someone special... Kamidammit, that wasn't on the list before.)
Everyone deserves some love, young or ol-ah! I mean younger!
"Ufufufu~ Good."
...
...
...
{Meanwhile, at the same time as 02:55 pm}
We come to another scene in a different location.
A cleaning dirt route, surrounded by wild nature, just like before, the animal and fairy can be seen around and birdy offer their natural song.
But all of this was about to be replaced with the rampage of Beat.
A couple of fairies are playing around carelessly, unaware of the speeding object coming their way very fast.
"OI!! MOVE IT! KIRISAME COMING THROUGH ZE!!"
...!?!?!?
A loud shout coming from the distance alerting them as they panicked scatter around the forest to take cover for whatever that's coming!
Somes not fast enough or running into each other in panic, or just dumbly standing there not knowing what to do!!
Incoming! Runaway!!
{Speed, speed lover}
{Game's not over!}
The speeding object speeds its way through the panicked fairy, nearly hitting some but actually skills in dodging! Making some fairy spin with the rush of speed and wind!
"SORRY! NOT SORRY ZE!!" The person responsible says as she zoning away!
For a moment, the fairy stops spinning, their eyes not yet though, hoping this is the end.
Butt!
*Beep! beep!*
"Speed Lover coming through!"
Another one comes! This one moving on the ground and actually put the effort into not hitting them, skillfully so! It still makes them spin with the twist left behind!
{Speed, speed lover}
{Game's not over!}
The two speedsters speeding through the route, careful not to run into anything in their path.
Their destination is clear and a fun comparison to see who would get there first.
While it is true that Kirisame can simply fly high up the sky and make her way to the village easily, she flies low above the ground, besides, where's the fun in an easy win?
Not far behind her were the rider and his passenger who was holding on to dear life as he gained more speed and faster, closing the distance between the two competitors.
Reimu held on tight, not wanting to be dropped in the middle of the route at this speed.
While she's no stranger to speed and fast movement especially in the air, this is the first time she entrusts someone to give her a ride on a foreign vehicle.
It feels a bit scary, not knowing whether your transporter will accidentally hit something and end up injuring the both of them.
But even so, she can feel the ever-warming aura of light protecting her, assure her that it'll be okay, just relax and enjoy the ride.
Wanting to submit to that feeling for a bit, she tightened up her hold in his middle and let her front rest on his back, close her eyes and just relax, not caring who would win this race.
He can feel her pressing at his back, relaxing and perhaps sleeping, he would have slowed down but somehow got the feeling she wouldn't need him to.
Speaking of feeling, he can feel a small portion of her 'friend' as they're resting on his back, even though there are some barriers of clothing.
The Lucky Bastard!!
Normally he would've blush but the excitement of riding a speedy vehicle has' overdrive 'that a little, it's a nice feeling though, but right now he had some conversation in his head.
(Says Grid-T, you said there's something you want to say to me while we're on the route, well, what is it?) He asks his new AI partner while keeping his eyes on the route.
[(Well, yes, I want to discuss with you about the earlier battle, and pardon me for saying this but you don't seem to have using the Gear to its full capacity yet, or as full as it can be for now.)] She replies in his head
(I get the feeling that's being the case, well? Any advice you have for me and what do you mean 'for now'?)
[(Well, first of all, you are indeed skill in fighting hand to hand as well as shooting, you're relying mostly on speed and reflection, fast reaction and counterstrike, when giving the chance, not giving your opponent time to recover and continued rapidly assault, this goes very well in a one on one fight, such as your battle with Golza, but you're TOO focusing on fighting one opponent as the time, especially that Samurai standoff, which leaves you wide open for Melba to attack... And as the result, you know the rest.)]
(hehe... Yeah, sorry 'bout that, too into the moment of passion...)
[(Sigh... Other than that rather flashy error, I also noticed that you also work well in a tap-team battle, which is shown when the others jump in, supporting and watching each other back. Teamwork, you also have a good enough tactical sense, which will get even better now that I'm here! But the point is, you need to have one or more allies watching your back and you, in turn, do the same, you work well with each other, not getting in each other ways but also keep an eye and support one another with wells plan team tactics.)]
(Do you think it's because of my possible alliance with ASHES?)
[(It's possible, maybe you're being trained in the art of tactics on the field, team leader perhaps? But with the number 2 on your jacket, maybe not, second in command? High possibility.)]
(Right, we got that part about me covers, what about 'That' question?)
[(Yes, again sorry for my bluntness but you seem to have failed to activity Type changing, which is one of the gears main advantage abilities, for example, when facing Medba, whose main advantage was speed and agility, or Golza, strength, and defense, two of which you can change into Sky and Power types to give yourself an advantage in situations you need to be faster or stronger, but you haven't done that.)]
(Well, you can't blame me when I don't know-how, it's my first time transforming.)
[(And I don't, worry not Lee-kun! The trick is actually quite simple.)]
(That being...?)
[(Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.)]
(What...???)
[(Eh, no, sorry, Willpower, I mean Willpower.)]
(You have to be more precise than that, what do you mean Willpower?)
[(To change type, you just need to will it to be, your desire to become Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, allow you to change type according to that feeling, the more you will it to change, faster or stronger, the jewel on your Helmet will response and change your type, remember- Ah!)]
(What's wrong T!?)
[(Ah! Oh yes! Oh yeah~! do it Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger~! Ahh~! It's Feel so good~!)]
(Nani!?!?!?) This caused him to lose balance in the ride!
Thankfully! He managed to gain back control and do bike drifting at turns! Even on this kind of route!!
{Speed, speed lover}
{Game's not over!}
{Hot glitter's on the track! ho ho ho!}
{Speed, speed lover}
{Countdown's over!}
{Running to win or die-ie-ie-ie!}
"Oh, My Kami!!" Ex-poor Reimu was crudely awake from her sleep on the supposed peaceful ride, now holding on to dear life!
But as a bonus, at least she tightens up and presses more of her front at him.
Kirisame looks back to see what the heck is happening but seeing they're ok, she refocuses on the route and channels more magic to her broom, making it fly faster!
"Oops! sorry 'bout that! You okay!?" He asks as he regains the balance.
"Do I Look Okay!?!? Ride carefully!!" Boy, she pisses.
"Hehe, sorry, got an engine error." That's a lie, he got errors with something in his head, if he didn't already...
[(Hehe! Sorry Lee-kun, I can't help it! That was a pretty nice drift by the way, you must've played a lot of racing games.)]
(Sigh, geez, you put me in the gutter for a moment, don't do that while I'm driving.)
[(Hehe, sorry~! Got a program error here~!)]
(What a believable excuse, but yeah, I get what you mean, the more I want to be stronger or faster, I can change my type, let's hope I do it right the next time we get into battle. anything else?)
[(Yes, but let's talk about it later, besides it seems we have reached the village.)]
As she says, the two riders have made their way out of the forestry route, in the distance to their destination.
They haven't slowed down as they ride across the route, below and surrounding them from left to right are the rice fields.
Fieldworkers stop what they were doing when hearing a strange roaring sound, they look at the source and saw two speeding objects going on top of the route, one on the lead is a familiar Ordinary Witch as she riding fast on her broom, behind her is two people riding on the strangest thing they've ever seen! It's also responsible for the noise they're hearing, the helmet corneal their facial but the worker recognize the red and white uniform of a certain shrine maiden as she sits behind and holding on the mystery rider, whose apparel seems to be an outsider, though they can't see very well to make out what it look like at the speed the rider was going.
Eventually, meaning a few seconds, both racers pressing by the worker at incredible speed, they can feel the rush of wind follow the racers after pressing by, making their way toward the village.
An odd pair of workers, one wearing Red and the other Blue, just stare dumbly at the two fast retreating figures.
Aka: What the f*k was that...???
Ao: I don't know man but I just came to the most realistic reality.
Aka: What's that?
Ao: You can't pick a chick without riding a Tiger.
Aka: What? And that was a Tiger? I thought it was a Puma.
Ao: The f*k is a Puma?
Aka: You know, like a big cat?
Anyway...
["We're almost there to the village, I can see the gates, but Kirisame-san is ahead of us, seems like this one goes to her, that a shame, consider this vehicle supposed to be the new and fastest ride the other world (Xenoah) have ever produced and it loses at the first rides."]
Lee didn't really care who wins this race in the end, he just wants to test his skills in riding a bike and a fun competition.
Butt...
His eyes lean on a seal green button at the right gas handles, its green little light inching him to push it for some reason, the three-letter D.P.A.
["Oh, Nonononononononono...!!! Don't you even think about it!"] Grid-T warns him not to as she reads his thoughts.
"What!? What's going on!?" Somehow Reimu shares the alert with the AI girls as she gets a bad feeling about it.
"What the matter, T? Scare?"
Ooh, now he's done it.
["... Sure, go ahead, do it, I don't care."]
"Nani!? Nani o suru no ka!? What he's gonna do!?!?"
The best course of action would be to tighten your seatbelt now.
Oh, wait, the bike doesn't have a seatbelt!!! XD
"I'm gonna push the button!"
And he did just that.
Energy and powers are being put into the engine, making the gear and motor run faster!
A burst of gas and blaze rushing out from the exhaust pipes to the muffler! Driving the bike faster!! Almost mash 1!!!
"Oh Ja!!! MAG DU MEIN FAHRRAD!?!?!?"
"ĪeeeeeeEEEeee!!!"
[(It was nice knowing you, Enzanshi.)]
The three of them speed forward and go past Kirisame as she can only look completed dumbfounded and surprised at the impossible!!
"Nani!? Onsoku!? Masaka ZE!!!"
{Speed, speed lover}
{Game's not over!}
{Hot glitter's on the track! ho ho ho!}
{Speed, speed lover}
{Countdown's over!}
{Running to win or die-ie-ie-ie!}
...
We got the camera to a couple of village guards, guarding the village Gates, they were just doing their job and minding their business.
Guard1: Oi.
Guard2: Un?
Guard1: you ever wonder why we're here?
Guard2: It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there's Kami-sama watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man. But it keeps me up at night, oh wait, there really is Kami-sama.
...
...
...
Guard1: Nani?! I mean why are we out here, in this world? Gensokyo? And by WE, I mean the whole village.
Guard2: Oh. Uh...yeah.
Guard1: What was all that stuff about Kami? What about them?
Guard2: Uh...hm? Nanimonai?.
Guard1: You wanna talk about it?
Guard2: Bangō.
Guard1: Tashikadesu ka?
Guard2: Un.
Guard1: Seriously though, why are we out here? Far as I can tell, the village was in a box canyon in the middle of nowhere. Youkai wherever you go and have to call upon little girls to solve the problem for us, talk about a Man's pride...
Guard2: Uh-hmm... Huh?
Guard1: Dō shita no?
Guard2: ... Something's coming up... Something coming up FAST!!
Guard1: Nani!?!?
Indeed, they see a speeding silhouette coming closer and closer with each passing second, it goes so fast it doesn't slow down! At this rate, it will crack through the wooden gate and into the village!!
The two guards were brave enough that they didn't abandon their posts and brace themselves for impact.
Guard12: HAAALLLTTT!!!
Oh, he'll halt alright.
At the last moment, he's halting the machine with all his might and it came to stop in front of the entrance for a moment but wouldn't be long!
Reimu has to do an emergency take off when she gets the chance and goes to a safe distance.
The rear wheels still didn't stop spinning! Blaze and gas still coming out from the exhaust pipes! The rider struggles to keep the beast he has awake with all his strength and might but the machine's still roaring loudly and threatening to tear down the gate and its guard.
He needs a plan! Quick!
An insane idea pops into his head!
He forces the front wheel to turn right, and does a full circle drifting in the clock direction!
The rear wheel's screaming loudly against the dirt, which shouldn't be possible! Kicking up sand and dirt in all directions! And the guard has the misfortune to take all of that! Sand and dirt all over their uniforms!
He's doing this at least Twenty Plus times! until The machine finally stops automatic running, leaving an obvious to all, black circle on the ground.
...
...
...
Finally it stops, he takes a deep breath to calm his nerves, feeling a bit regret for not listening to his new partner. sure, he likes it fast, but he almost dooms some life here.
"Sigh, at least that's over." taking off the helmet, revealing his facial to the world again.
Oh, and the two guards having their blade at his neck.
"Who are you and state your business!!" Guard number 1 asks, he has dark brown hair with bangs covering his left eye, wore a bandanna.
"And no funny idea, this blade is sharp." Guard number 2 says, has long, spiky, black hair, and a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose.
"Uhh..." (What now Grid-T?)
[(You on your own, I told you it's a bad idea, we should have approached the gate like normal people...)]
"Uh, wait-" Reimu, now out of her helmet, try to say something but-
"OI!!! Kamizuki-san! Hagane-san!" A shout out to the two guard's names in the following order.
They look at the source and see the familiar ordinary witch riding fast on her broom.
She stops channeling her magic and letting the broom slow down, hop off, and do a front flip before landing and sliding forward, leaving marks behind her.
"Hey! How're you two doing? Seems a bit worse of wear there, what happens?" She asks the two guardsmen, a bit oblivious 'cause she came late to the show.
"What happens? He Happens" They both glare at the poor boy who wants nothing more than to put his helmet back on to hide his embarrassment.
Thus they tell her what happened here, the circle on the ground, the dirt and sand on their uniform.
And in turn, Kirisame and Reimu explain to them with a cover story that he's an outsider with amnesia and seeking refuge in the village until he regains his memory and returns to the outside.
"Oookay... What about that... Beast of him? It is dangerous?" Kamizuki asks warily stared at the 'Steel Puma'.
"It just came with him, it's not exactly a beast, Just a lifeless tool for fast traveling, did I get that right, Lee-san?" Reimu asks and he nods in confirmation.
He didn't say anything in the entire explanation, don't want to make the situation worse than it already was.
"So? What say ya? Let us pass Ze?"
"Are you kidding!? There's no way we can just...! just..."
*Pop!*
Double Cat Eyes Jutsu!
"Please Onīchan, let us pass we'll be kids, Zenya."
...
...
...
"Ugh…! All right, you can go."
""Yay/Hooray!!""
"Butt!!" Hagane cut their cheer short.
...!?
"He is not allowed to ride that thing in the village whatsoever, should we catch him riding that under the village wall he'll be sitting behind the bar, you got that clear, boy?" Kamizuki says as he's glaring at the boy.
"Jawohl!"
"Alright, you clear to go, I'm sure the girl will explain to you how to get an account book, you will need it to show the gate guard other than us so they can let you pass around other things that will require it, all right, now make yourself disappear, get going." Hagane explains and allows the girl to enter with their new boy friend.
Boy Friend, not Boyfriend, no misunderstanding, right...???
Anyway, Lee gave the two gate guards a nodding thanks and apologized for their clothes before entering with the girl.
But not before using the phone and turning the helmet and the bike into nano-light, when the light dispelled so did the vehicle and headgear.
The trio enters the village, leaving the duo to stare with comically wide eyes, which will be remembered as the weirdest day of their life.
Oooh, this is just the beginning of the weirdness~!
...
...
...
Hagane: ... ... ... What the actual makai just happens...???
Kamizuki: to be honest, I have no f*king idea, but as times like these, I remind myself something Obāchan always says.
Hagane: What does she say?
The man points his finger to the sun and says.
Kamizuki: Grandmother says this 'Common sense makes sense of things that don't make sense, butt you'll be a fool to believe common sense exists in a nonsense land'. Grandma's words ring true these days. I miss you, grandma.
Hagane: May Kami-sama rest her spirit, Ugh, when will our switch be coming? I need to take a shower.
Kamizuki: Speaking of showers, you heard about the 'Big Guy'? He did it again...
Hagane: poor guy, let's hope Mrs. Namikaze won't kill him this time, he was a good acquaintance.
Kamizuki: Nah, I'm sure he'll be alright, he must survive to defend a Clean Man Pride... Hopefully...?
Let us pray so...
{Lee ?. Pow}
This is it, T, after nearly half a day, we finally got here, I can't believe it took us this long to get here ever since Yukari drop me at the Hakurei stone step, get Reimu to join us, encounter the enemies, meet Kirisame, I transformed, and then you, so many things happen in such a short time.
Sigh, I suddenly felt so exhausted...
[(I'm so sorry, Lee-kun, but please, you have to stay strong, many more challenges will come and each one will be equal or more dangerous, but I will continue to support you in this trial, for as long as you still need me...)]
Despite not being a real human, her words brought a smile to my lips.
I hear you, Grid-T, thank you, and don't worry, I'm not about to give up from just that, I WOULDN'T give up, I will see this through to the end, to be worthy of Tiga power.
[(Anyway, That button earlier is called Dimensional Piercing Accelerator. It allows the engine to activate the Specium change inside and releases its maximum output, making the machine automatically run non-stop for 1 minute. If it goes supersonic or more it could Pierce through space and create a tunnel to time, space, and dimension. This was based on the ultra ability to travel through the multiverse but we do it in the form of vehicles.)]
Amazing...
[(That's why it's dangerous if you aren't in transformed states and the passenger needs a special material traveling suit. I'm sorry for telling you that sooner.)]
Nah, it's my fault, Curiosity killed the cat they've said. I should have listened to my partner when she said No.
"Lee-san, you okay? You seem a bit exhausted, it's been a long day after all." Say the sweating shrine maiden.
"I could have said the same to you, sorry for scaring you like that, got a bit carried away in the excitement."
Cross her arm and frown.
"I wasn't scared, just... Surprise, that's all." Her cheeks are a bit red.
"Hah, I believe you." Not really...
"So, Guy? Now that we're here, what are we gonna do next? Seeking someone Ze?"
"Yeah, but where-"
ziiipppp*
I stopped and looked up to where the zip sound was and saw a paper flying down.
I catch it and read what it says.
: Come to the village center, Darling, I already arranged the meeting place, someone will come and take you there! See you soon LeLe Darling~! ]
You could have just dropped me there... On second thought, No.
"Hey, let's go to the center." I show the others the notes.
Butt... This proved to be a mistake.
"What with the 'Darling'...?" Reimu asks after reading the note.
"... ... ..." the best tactical thing to do now is staying silent and brace for what will come.
"Care to explain, LeLe Darling..."
"Uhh... Hmm...?"
God Bless You, boy.
