RIOT! RIOT! THERE'S A RIOT! RRRRAAAAAAHHHHH! Oh cool a cute kitten in the window…I-I mean…uh…screw it. Ignore the furball! Or stay and compliment the animal.
Anyway, what's up my friends? We have another one of us! Though that is the only announcement. Start!
Chapter 20: Hatred Born Of Misunderstandings
In that moment, Yuudai experienced many things. The first is seeing Siesta flushed in the face getting up and getting her discarded clothing back on. She then runs out past Louise as Yuudai gets on his feet.
He doesn't bother calling for Siesta knowing hell was already about to rain down on him. Louise finally regains her senses and looks angrier than he has ever seen her. She throws an high kick at him, but Yuudai moves out of the way easily before she could come close to connecting her kick. She lands on her feet, but she doesn't cool down in the least. If anything, she seems even angrier than before.
"Calm down Blanc." Yuudai tells her in a stern voice.
"Calm down?! After what you two were planning on doing in my own room?!" She exclaims with a tinge of jealousy leaking into her voice. Yuudai doesn't notice that though.
"That isn't what was happening." He replies.
"That is it!" She yells. Yuudai straightens up staring right into her eyes causing her to hesitate.
"What is it?" He asks.
Her anger multiplies tenfold. "Your fired!" She yells.
This irks Yuudai making him frown. "What do you mean Blanc?"
"Don't call me that!" She orders. "Just leave and die in a ditch somewhere! I don't ever want to see you again (Just a heads up, this is along the lines of what actually happened in the novels. Pretty messed up.)!"
Yuudai's hair shadows over his eyes. "After all I have done to keep you safe." He whispers gritting his teeth. "After pulling me into this world." He continues causing her to flinch. "I even bled for your cause." His eyes show through his hair showing his anger. "Fine then. I guess the next time I see you will be in hell, Louise." He says adding a dose of hatred to her name. That one sentence hurts her more than she would have thought even thought while upset. He grabs Derflinger and gives her one last glare before walking out the door leaving Louise more broken than when she walked in the room.
Three Days Later
"Verdante! Guiche calls out again, but instead of hearing or finding his familiar he hears the sound of anger. Someone hitting stone. He walks to the sound to fight his familiar watching Yuudai slamming his bloodied fist against a statue like he assumed. The statue actually has some damage done to it. Guiche also notices a small backpack beside Yuudai filled with some supplies. "Yuudai?" Guiche asks getting his attention.
"What do you want?" Yuudai asks in a tone that is straining to keep from yelling.
"What are you doing?" Guiche questions.
Yuudai takes a few calming breaths. "I'm trying release my anger I guess." He replies. Yuudai looks at his fist just now realizing how bloody they are. The pain doesn't even register because of how numb they feel. "It would be stupid to leave this place upset and without a plan."
"You're leaving?!" Guiche exclaims in surprise.
"Yeah." He tells him.
"Does Louise know?"
"Who honestly cares about what she does and doesn't know?" He asks causing Guiche to gasp in surprise. "I lost that much respect for her three days ago."
"Then why are you still mad?" Guiche asks. "You could have left already."
Yuudai sighs sitting on the ground. "Those few days were meant to give Louise time to cool down and come here to apologize because I thought maybe we could make up. However, she never bothered. So I got upset about it and continued punching this statue. I think I'll leave in an hour or two." He tells the blond. He points a bloody hand at the mole. "You can take back your familiar if you want. He found me and stayed to watch. Sorry for the trouble." Yuudai says looking into the clear sky.
"You may be a lowly familiar, but please...stay for another day or two. Give Louise more time." Guiche says.
Yuudai smiles sadly. "If only you were such a gentleman with the ladies you wouldn't need more than one since the one would be all over you." He gives off an unamused laugh.
"I'm leaving familiar, but don't leave yet." He says walking away as the maid Siesta runs over with tears in her eyes and medical kit. Guiche stays for a moment to watch.
Siesta quickly and carefully cleans his hands and disinfects them. She proceeds to bandage his hands even though she is crying still. "Why Yuudai? Why must you do this?" She asks sadly. Yuudai doesn't answer unable to give a good reason. Guiche remembers the proud Yuudai who beat Wardes in an one on one fight comparing that Yuudai to the current one. It brings a sad look to his face. He decides to stay for a while longer with Verdante by Yuudai's side.
Later That Night
"Where is he?" Kirche wonders looking for Yuudai. She searched the Vestri Court, but only found a statue that had been destroyed and had dried blood on it. She thought he would be there, but he wasn't.
"So do you have a plan yet?" The voice of Guiche asks from beside the main entrance to the academy.
Kirche spots the blond, Verdante and Yuudai sitting against the wall next to the gate. "Maybe. How does exploring this world sound?" Yuudai suggests. "Or perhaps go back to Albion and kick the crap out of Viscount just for fun. Honestly that sounds like a good time right now."
"What would I do?" Guiche asks.
"Flirt with less girls and just one?" He suggests.
"Hey darling!" Kirche calls out. Yuudai flinches.
"What did I do to deserve such an irritating woman follow me?" He wonders under his breath.
"Lucky bastard." Guiche mutters at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" Kirche asks finding a backpack with supplies beside him.
"Well I am giving Blanc time to apologize before I leave this place." He tells her. He tried to stop calling Louise Blanc, but it turns out it is ingrained to call her Blanc. This surprises Kirche since what Louise told her Yuudai said was still harsh.
"You're leaving?" She asks once again surprised.
"Well yeah. I can't stay here forever and since there is a whole world for me to explore, I plan on making the most of it." He explains. "By the way, you are not the first to ask that question." He says pointing at Guiche with a bandaged hand.
Kirche notices this and looks at the other hand to find it, too, is bandaged. "What did you do to your hands?"
He sets his hand down. "I'm sure you saw the statue." He says simply unwilling to explain the little fact himself.
"Anyway, do you wish to become a noble?" Kirche asks with a smirk.
A small grin appears on his face as Guiche gawks at her. "You have my attention." He says in an excited voice.
"He's just a commoner though!" Guiche points out.
"Let the nice lady speak Guiche." Yuudai tells him getting a deadpan look from the blond.
"In my home country, Germania, if you have enough money you can buy yourself land and in the process become a noble." She explains.
Yuudai sighs. "As you can see, I am broke. I can't even buy a candy bar." He replies. "Add assassin for hire to the list of ideas." Yuudai tells himself offhandedly.
"I have some treasure maps!" Kirche announces. "We can ditch the Zero and find these treasures. Afterwards you can sell them and get become a noble with some land. Then marry me!" She tries to hug him, but he jumps on to his feet and out of the way.
"There are a few flaws." Yuudai says watching her pout. "First flaw is that if it's called treasure then I'm probably going to keep the good stuff. Two, ditching her sounds awesome, but I'm was leaving anyway. And finally, I won't marry you."
"Even if you did have a chance at him, he is mine!" Siesta exclaims catching Yuudai and the other two by surprise. During that surprise she grabs his arm causing Guiche to gasp.
"In all my time I knew him not one girl was able to catch him." Guiche says in awe.
"But wouldn't you want him to be happy?" Kirche asks trying to play Siesta into her trap verbal trap.
"Just because you become a noble doesn't mean anything you will be happy. You can use the money to buy a vineyard in my village and we could have a business called Yuudai And Siesta!" Siesta says excitedly.
"I'll think it over Siesta." Yuudai says. "Yuudai's Treasure Cove though." He says under his breath. "Maybe get an extra room for it so that I can call it that." He looks up finding everyone staring at him.
"Anyway, I doubt you can find any treasure." Guiche states casually.
"You could have a bit of treasure to get some attention from the Henrietta." Yuudai says catching his attention. "Of course if you don't want to I can understand. Actually I can't, but that's not the point."
Guiche is immediately up and ready to go. "What are you all waiting for? Let's go!" Guiche says.
"I'm going too." Siesta states. Kirche tries to object, but Siesta continues. "I can cook edibly food since you can't rely only food you bring."
Kirche sighs. "You have a fair point commoner. I guess you can come with us. Just know that we will be going to some very dangerous places."
"As long as Yuudai is here I will be safe." Siesta states happily.
Yuudai fist pumps the air with a grin. "I don't know about you all, but I'm getting pretty excited about this trip. Let's meet here tomorrow morning with everything we need to leave."
"Yeah!" Everyone exclaims with grins too.
Later Elsewhere
"They're coming, get ready." Yuudai says quietly from on a branch in a taller tree.
Currently Tabitha is behind a tree on the ground and the other two are out of sight. They are just outside of an abandoned village that has been taken by orcs. Ungly creatures that seem like pigs on two feet. Two meters tall though.
Suddenly an explosion rattles the ground since Kirche had set a trap at the gate for the orcs. Yuudai's hair is suddenly streaked in blue highlights and running at the orcs right as seven bronze golems appear and charge at the head orc with their small spears. Tabitha holds in a groan.
"That wasn't the plan." She mutters.
As the golems attack the leader orc, Yuudai swiftly draws Derflinger starting a spinning attack. On his second swing around he slashes its throat cutting deep causing some blood to spurt out as it falls to the ground. Yuudai looks around to see the golems gone and Tabitha's ice magic taking the forms of sharp ice sickles stabbing into the orc leader from every direction.
Suddenly a large fireball flies over his head trying to hit the others. However, them their agility was better than one would assume based on their appearance. The fire ball homes on to one though shooting right into its wide open mouth mid scream bursting its head into flames.
"I'll continue on!" Yuudai yells to his allies. The orcs all stare in a mixture of anger and fear at the blue and black haired teen. The teen had killed one of them with pure power alone, so of course they would have some fear. "Don't chicken out pigs!" Yuudai exclaims speeding behind one of them cutting the tendons behind the knees forcing it to kneel.
Just before he can deal a finishing blow another tries swing its human sized club at him. The teen dodges moving back watching the club completely shatter the spine of the one kneeling. The orc falls on to the ground fainting from the pain soon to die from infection in the broken bone or blood loss from behind its knees.
"Talk about brutal." Yuudai mutters with wide eyes. The remaining six howl in anger sending a slight shiver down Yuudai's spine. "Hey Fire Salamander thing, attack!" He orders as Flame springs out into the open.
"Hey!" Kirche protests offended that he didn't remember her familiar's name.
It sends some powerful flames at the orcs only burning one to a crisp. Yuudai bursts towards them again slashing his sword across one of their eyes blinding it. It cries out holding its hands over its bleeding eyes. He lands, but jumps up ramming his sword through its throat all the way to the hilt causing it to stop screaming since it is now choking on blood. He jumps off using its body pulling his sword out forcing it to the ground.
"Four left." Yuudai states casually looking at the remaining four that seem to be in absolute fear. "I'll end this now." Yuudai states disappearing to the other side of them in a blur. The four orcs each fall to the ground either cut in half or decapitated. Yuudai wipes the blood off as the others come out. Yuudai's hair turns back to complete black. "Well that was fun." Yuudai mutters.
End
And another chapter done! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to pump this one out, but I had the thinking juices flowing and this all came out. I think it is pretty cool. I hope you think the same.
About the end where Yuudai cut down those four at once, that is actually what would happen. Since Saito in the novel was already pretty fast, Yuudai's same rune does the same except faster since he trained more and his ring allows him to move much faster. I refuse to keep him weak! He will be amazing!
With all that said, I have nothing else to say. Thanks for reading, following, favoriting, reviewing and have a great day/night/morning!
