Fräulein Kreutune

Fräulein Kreutune is her name. A being that eats and absorbs information, to slowly become something else. While human, there are those that know her true identity that may be another form of 'human', a subspecies of the like or something different. A being that has a simple mind that hasn't even have a real 'ego' so to say.

However, it has been discovered that the more she learns and 'absorbs', the greater she will grow and become something else. A being that will evolve akin to a larva and an adult insect That is Fräulein Kreutune, which her transformation conceals the possibility of reversing the position of prey and predator.

A being that once stated not to be dyed by the 'colors' of magic nor science. Making her have an important role in the future.

"Hey...can you stop eating my book now." A role of course, that won't be coming anytime soon.

It was mid-day, and once more Touya found himself relaxing under a nice small little cafe which actually held some books and served a few drinks. So long as he was careful and didn't cause any damage or harm, then he'd be allowed to stay and read a few books. Doing this in a small celebration that he found a new worker so quick and fast, even if she was a bit pushy. But hey, results were all that mattered, despite the woman's strangeness.

However, while visiting this establishment, Touya did what he normally does and relaxed. Until after about an hour, a small child then came in. The girl has lavender hair and is unkempt and is long enough to reach her ankles and obscure her face. Her clothes consist of a two-piece transparent dress made out of synthetic fiber, revealing her pink underwear.

At first Touya thought the girl was some Child Error, and one that must have had no modesty from her appearance. Because it wasn't everyday you see a girl showing herself off like this. But just before he could ask the girl anything, she plopped down next to him, grabbed his book, and then began chewing it.

"..." The girl then stared at Touya upon being asked to stop eating his book, then dismissed him as she began chewing at it again. Her saliva spilling all over with a dead look on her face like she was doing a chore.

'I know this might be rude of me to say ...but is this city really full of weirdos?' Because he's seen both normal, but also strange and odd people ever since entering here. A woman in bikini armor, a girl attacking him with electricity, students holding guns, and even a dog. I mean, this city is interesting but also weird.

"I think weird is a good thing." The girl said startling Touya. Oh no, does this girl have some kind of esper power that allows mind reading. Because if she did, then Touya might be in trouble.

"No you won't." The girl continued on frightening the poor man. "But it is easy to read your expression, very easy." The girl said while still chewing on the book before spitting it out. "Tastes bad."

"...Uh," Touya then began not sure where to start, but decided to anyway. "Are you...okay? Do you need help or something, like...your parents."

"I don't have parents, or at least not anymore." The girl bluntly said without stammering or any form of sadness. "But that's okay. I have new friends now."

Once more Touya wasn't sure what to say, but decided that it may be for the best. On the bright side, it looked like this girl wasn't having any problems at all. Though he did question why she wore such an outfit that revealed herself. Oh man, imagine if she was taller. 'Wait a minute,' Touya then realized thinking about his friend Sara. 'She wasn't any different either.'

While Touya began comparing the girl and Sara a bit, the small child herself began resuming her eating of the book.

As for why this child was doing this, well, she had nothing better to do. But then again, to the girl this was much better than being stuck in that building. A building that had no windows at all, where she remained trapped for an unknown amount of time, until suddenly something strange happened.

A loud noise shook the building, with shrieking noises that sounded like bugs or something all over. Eventually a weird power was felt which suddenly made Fraulein curious. A few seconds later she broke out of the dark building where she then met a strange girl floating above who looked at her curiously. The immortals own interest piqued when a dog in strange armor came out and confronted the girl, who summoned some weird man with wings, where suddenly a bolt of weird energy hit Fraulein and caused her body to change.

Now not only is she smaller than she used to be, but also could somewhat think more properly as well. Having understood many things now in a sense, and along the way made some acquaintances that soon became friends. Two young girl with brown and blonde hair, where she meets them every now and then but also told them to keep her identity a secret.

She wasn't sure why, nor understood entirely, but she had the feeling that if the people in the building and that woman with the mischief look realized she was out, it wouldn't be good. Strange really, but she followed that feeling just because.

Now aside from playing with her friends, the immortal just wanders around, mimicking people, copying, learning, and doing whatever she can to satisfy her needs. Her interests being mainly information learning, thus she does what she can to learn. Which is actually why she came to this cafe.

She saw a weird show of a male boy cat and his orange fish friend on tv from a land called america. The two animals eating books saying that by eating them, they'll absorb knowledge. That was worth a try.

'And yet I feel like I've been tricked.' The girl thought as she didn't feel like she was getting anything from this book on chewing it. Instead only feeling her sloppy saliva on paper, with her teeth hurting a bit on the cover. Plus, she's pretty sure she has a paper cut on her tongue.

Deciding that this book eating wasn't worth it, Fraulein spat the book out which landed with a messy plop.

"Hey!" Which then got the attention of a worker who looked really upset.

"Well, guess we can't go back anymore." Touya muttered as he and the strange girl had been kicked out upon the worker seeing what happened to the book. The man blaming Touya for not 'taking care' of his daughter. Of course before Touya could explain the girl wasn't his daughter, they were removed from the premises for their behavior.

As for the girl herself, she didn't look the slightest regretful. Instead only feeling like she wasted her time and pondered if she should be eating phones instead. Maybe that'll give her the knowledge to learn.

"Oh my gosh, look at that girl.."

"-she looks so thing.."

"What is that man doing to her."

Though her attempts to do anything may have to wait, along with Touya's own plans for his day off. Because no sooner were they kicked out, did people start noticing the strange duo they were. Fraulein especially as her current attire made her look like some poor kid, with Touya being her guardian. An abusive one considering how Fraulein looked at the moment.

'Oh sure. Only when we were kicked out do people start talking.' Aw man, you'd think people would have spoken when seeing the girl just by herself, yet said nothing. However, that quickly changed when he's being seen as the possible father of this girl. 'And I don't even look like her!'

Oh man, what misfortune. He better act fast, otherwise he'll be in trouble. He could see a student with a phone, and some Anti-Skill officers giving him the look. That was his warning.

"Hey kid, er-"

"Fraulein." The girl responded. "My name is Fraulein Kreutune."

"...Right...Can I called you Fran?"

"Sure."

"Good. In that case, wanna go to the nearest clothing store?" Fraulein then looked up at the man a bit confused, but then noted his expression along with the faces of others. While she wasn't so good at talking or being a particularly good social person, Fraulein knew how to read the mood. The slight panic and forced grin on the man's face showing he needed assistance, and she was the only one that could provide it.

"Very well." The immortal nodded. "I will go to this...clothing store." The two girls she met told her about it before, so why not take a visit to it. Get some experience and learn a bit so if she went with her friends, it won't be so difficult.

"Alright. Then follow me." Grabbing Fran's arm, he took her along with him. The young girl then feeling a slight warmth in her, as she never really held people's hands aside from maybe her friends. Interesting.

The two then made their way into a regular shop where it featured clothes meant for people, though mostly female. Touya then calling out to an employee for help.

"Hello there sir, what can I do to help?" The female worker asked him.

"Uh, yeah. I need something nice for Fran here." Touya said showing the somewhat dirty Fran and her rather bad outfit. It was amazing Anti-Skill haven't brought her in at all with that outfit. Though it certainly made some people question their competence as well. I mean, who leaves a little girl with dirty clothes alone?

"I see, hold on just a second." Ignoring the thoughts of why local law haven't done their job, the worker then left to get some actual clothes for Fran. Looking through a few racks to see if she could find anything better than what she was currently wearing. Like Touya, she to thought the outfit to be rather off and shouldn't be worn. Especially by a child which revealed her own underwear, now that wouldn't do.

On the bright side, it would seem the woman is also professional enough to not ask Touya any questions at all. Which made the father grateful, because he's certain he had no excuses for Fran.

"Woah, Fran! Stop!" Mostly because of her quirks, as Touya tried his best not to have the girl eat some red bra. Why Fraulein was doing this, may never be known. But then again, being trapped in a building with no windows with darkness as her only friend might cause one to be a little...off.

Eventually after much goading, some candy bribes, and one traumatized worker later with the two being banned from the place, the duo soon found themselves back outside with a few differences. For one, Touya was reminded of his old days with Touma as a kid, only Fran being a lot more troublesome.

Fraulein on the other hand just sniffed herself a little and gazed at her new outfit. Her lavender hair is combed back and looked a lot less dusty. She wore a purple skirt that ended at her knees, with light purple stockings and a lavender blouse and white tie with a ribbon on her hair. Overall she looked a lot better than before, though the immortal questioned why she had to wear shoes. They were quite uncomfortable.

Still, ignoring all that she then faced Touya and gave a small bow. "Thank you very much for the clothing. While a little restraining, I do not mind it."

"Ah, no problem." Touya said as he also noticed the people now no longer looking at him with suspicion. Granted he lost a little money, but overall he had more than enough to compensate for it. "If anything, maybe you can even go to places without being hassled."

"I guess." Some people did look at her funny whenever she walked around in her old attire. A few people in uniforms even trying to bring her in.

She either outran them or beat them up.

"Either way, it was nice seeing you." Touya smiled as he affectionately rubbed Fran on her head, who gave a small blush at that. "Well, see ya." So with that done, Touya began walking away feeling he did some good here. As for Fraulein, she just watched Touya going away, feeling some gratitude to him.

While she did have an appreciation for the two children, she also didn't mind having a friend that is not only a grown-up, but didn't hassle her or try taking her away. If anything, if she were to go somewhere and the man was near her, then surely moving around wouldn't be as difficult. If anything, she just found her new friend. With that knowledge, she smiled as she walked away, wondering if she'll meet the man again.

Eh, she probably will.

"..." Somewhere nearby though, where nobody was watching, a certain person witnessed something rather interesting. "Intriguing. Subject has met Fraulein Kreutune, and wasn't forced away like most targets." The stranger then checked a tablet which had many images of people. People that Touya met.

"Who will you meet next?"

And so man meets immortal, not that anybody aside from a certain few would know this. It seems I made little Fran here come out early, and unlike in the novel where she turned small because of some false brain, here, its thanks to Chaos Magic.

And before anybody says, I made Fraulein have feelings for Touya, but more so in a way of child and parent. After all, I doubt she ever had time to have caring parents if her past has anything to say about it. In any case, that's it for this week, and onto another. Until next time.

….So who was that person at the end?
