Ch 4
" Hi " — normal speech
' Thanks for reading ' — thoughts
" Kamehameha!!!"— yelling or attack move or transformation form name or powerful beings talking
(It worked)—additional facts
"My queen everybody is staring less at us " Ryūko noted to Gohan
"That's probably because you are wearing clothes "
"Oh so these clothes thing conceal your presence "[1]
"Yes"
If there was one thing Gohan learnt it's no point arguing unessasarily with her, considering it took him three hours to convince her to wear some dress white T-shirts under a light green gi and matching pants
After the incident in city K Gohan decided to shift to Z city considering how the locals hated him for saving a monster that nearly destroyed their city(even though Ryūko ordered her minions to help in the rebuilding process)
It was a calm afternoon in Bang's dojo as Gohan narrated the last day's events to Bang
"Despite what she had done you decided that she deserves a chance to be better" Bang stared intensely at Gohan " you are well aware that she is in the end a monster ruled by her wild instincts and still you choose to protect her"
Gohan silently nodded
Bang gave a deep sigh " If that what you wish then I approve her as my desiple " he looked up lost in thought" everyone deserves chance to reflect and redeem this was a lesson I learnt from my elder brother [2] "
Gohan didn't say anything but his face gave a sign of relief
Having the 3rd strongest S Rank backing you tended to get all issues with adopting a dragon rank threat cleared almost immediately and for the next month he had absolutely no issues and investigations from the hero association (and government) for living with a dragon level threat in the city (even though they still kept an eye on them)
whenever Gohan had time he would teach her how to harness her chi as of now she had just started to fly steadily.It was slow but she was making good progress.Bang on the other hand was not taking the slow and easy way he mad sure to drill Ryūko *hard*
" Master's training is way too hard" Ryūko whined as she truged down the stairs (﹏).
Bang's most recent training was a extremely simple yet extremely hard one that involved balancing about 8-10 tea cups on both their arms while practicing footwork and they had to repeat the same exercise a hundred times for every cup they broke.
Gohan already had about 400 repetations while Ryūko got a thousand four hundred repetations
"I guess but harder we train the stronger we get,right? " Gohan consoled her "Cheer up today I'll treat you to what ever you want to eat"
With a satisfied burp Gohan pushed away his 456th plate on the table;The whole evening they spent chomping away in burger joints, slurping through the various ramen and undon stall and a bunch of other fancy restaurants in city Z.
On the other end of the table Ryūko was feeding some tid-bits to her tail which had partially morphed into a small her tail as Ryūko explained also stored fat and nutrients in it which can be used to sustain her for an entire year or two
" Excuse me can you get us the bill "
" Ahh I really hope you enjoyed your umm..meal" the manager of the restaurant enquired rubbing his hands with nervous dexterity after all it's not everyday a couple walk in and nearly eat up everything on the menu ten times over, actually pay you and still have enough money to generously tip the waiters (Gohan kinda of felt very guilty about overworking them and because Fennel insisted) "I hope you are satisfied"
" Actually I'm saving space for dessert "
"D-D-desert " the waiters faces grew pale a few of them passed out
"Ah we are going to another place to eat dessert no offence "
In a nervous high pitched voice the waiter laughed "Offence?,no offence at all yes " the manager boobed his head "Thank you for eating here " he bowed and shakily walked away.
The night sky was calm and cool with millions of stars sprinkled best of all there was no moon
A perfect night to take a small flight before dessert. Gohan gave a content sigh the recruitment paperwork with dimension patrol was done ,Saitama had got fired from his job yesterday so now he started concentrate on being a hero for fun which ment his mission will end in three years sa he was holding back nothing in celebration
"I guess I can just enjoy and relax today" Gohan thought
out of nowhere a massive fireball slammed into Gohan sending him crashing down
My queen!! "
" So the great beast king choose to visit me how nice " a la
" Basterd!! " Ryūko roared transforming into her chimera form
" Why are so angry best king is it because I killed your little human? "humanoid bird-like being with the appearance of an aging but muscular old man with long hair, a large nose, wrinkled forehead, sharp teeth, and pointed ears and two sets of wings on his back wearing a small crown
" My kin let's end this traitores's life " the sky king declared
Gohan blinked what was that ? one second he was flying the there was a bright flash and he is on the ground[3]
" How nice your still alive" a blue skinned creature with white hair and pointed ears with hoop earrings and two sets of gray wings on his back as wearing a sleeveless white coat with rigged ends and black pants, a blue scarf with white puffball on it, and blue bandages on his wrist laughed "I always-"
Gohan knocked him out with a quick punch to the gut
the battle in the sky was ranging quite fiercely despite being outnumbered Ryūko was not a pushover Kite who had made the mistake of getting to close was ripped into two by her claws, prompting the other three to attack her form a distance
"Falcon flash!!"
"Eagle strike !! "
" Sky blaster!! "
The three beams of energy crashed harmlessly into Ryūko causing her to growl
"I applaud you Beast king to still be standing even after taking so many of sky blaster" The Sky king complimented as he prepared an other blast " however I can see that you getting weaker haaaaa!!!"
the sky king was not joking his sky king blast can easily level entire mountains but against Ryūko it bothered her as much as a raindrop would affect a mountain
Unfortunately right now she was fighting with a nearly full stomach and she was a novice in flying
Moving too much to kill these annoying birds was starting to make her sick
" stop it I'm feeling woozy" She weakly gluped
Sky ki-clukaaaaaa!!!* the sky king cried like a chicken as a black blur collided with him send him flying away far
" My king !! " Eagle rushed to attack only to be kicked into a mountain
the next second Falcon met the same fate
' Did that human just threw him away like a ragdoll? Him the sky king ?' the sky king's blood boiled at the insult then he saw that human kill his kin
"you basterd !!! " He screeched as he flapped his wings soaring higher and higher as his body blazed with violet energy as he flew
"Hey Fennel? is the sky king important for this timeline or something?"
"...no not at all significant so do whatever you want with him "
" Heaven piercer!!!!(ヘブンピアサー!!!!) " The
Gohan swatted him away like a fly
(distant Explosion)
"...Hey Ryū-..." Gohan trailed off as a very sick Ryūko was puking mid air
The sky king rudely woke up drenched in soppy ice cold water
" Cluck ? " He managed to cluck before being dunked again and again by a huge rhino creature
"Oi zeba-ra give me the brush will ya "
The next ten minutes the sky king was washed and cleaned
what the heck happened...oh yeah he got bitchslapped in the face by that human and fractured his spine
"You see our King is in a bad mood" the huge bull creature explained
"A very bad mood" Zeba-ra added
"Seriously bad one like If I see you I will kill you"
"...as such to pacify our great and powerful king we must throw a feast for her and" the rhino grinned"you are the main course whole roast stuffed sky king !!!"
So now" he raised his ax
A loud Cluck would be the final word of the sky king
Three days later
" My queen look I have wings! " Ryūko chirped showing off her new dark brown twin set of wings
A/N
[1] It's not easy to teach the concept of clothes to a wild animal
[2] It is a reference to Bang's past when he used to misuse his power till his brother stopped him
[3] Please a weak blast like that can't hurt a hair on Gohan's head
