Chapter Twelve: Full Metal Panic.
Okay.
Okay, no need to panic.
Just stay calm.
Your just... surrounded by people who could kill you with little... effort or reason...
That was my situation more or less.
"Dinner's ready!".
Or maybe not... hopefully.
The dinner in question was a good looking soup with...black lumps that...well it looked edible.
now that i think about It, i haven't actually eaten or tried to eat anything since i decided to cool off.
Maybe it was the hell engine while in the process of informing parts of my mind, or because of the realisation of what i had at my disposal.
Well, no point in over thinking things.
The black stuff looked like it had the same consistency of meat yet when i stabbed it with my spoon it had the same effect as stabbing through cream. Weird, i was able to get some of the soup in as i took my first bite in forever.
This...This taste!!.
The english language couldn't even come close to having the ability to describe what i was experiencing.
Hell, i was even crying!.
"Ar-are you alright!?, it's not poisonous i-is it an allergy?".
"...No, it's just... I've never tasted food this great before...".
"Really?, thank goodness. For a second there i thought you might've died from that".
And the chef that cooked such an experience.
Two.
Yep, much like one she and their other sister's had numbers for names. Even had the roman numerals them on their foreheads.
The girl in blue with a sigh of relief sat back down, cute scarf.
"Say, where did you find this stuff. This place doesn't seem like the kind that's plentiful in game".
"Oh!, that stuff. I kinda just just take all the stuff that looks like meat from those nightmares".
"... That's... concerning...".
"Don't worry much about it, this isn't the first time two's worked with weird ingredients and make something edible".
Of all the times you choose to chime in, besides that four was, in comparison, the most normal out of them and at least bothered to explain a thing or two.
"Right...is she just gonna sleep there or...".
I shifted my attention from the girl in green to the one clad in purple.
I haven't seen her do anything but sleep, it's kind of worrying.
"Don't worry about three, she's actually the most active out of us to be honest".
Really?, she looked pretty deep in her sleeping.
"... Really?".
"When it involves something she's interested in...or doll's".
My food was finished in no time, i was a quick eater. As all of this happened one looked on, what was she thinking, planning possibly?. It was hard to tell, out of all of them she'd definitely be the one to keep an eye on.
Even when we had exchanged as much information as we knew about this forest i wasn't sure if she was telling everything, she could be planning something that might bite me in the ass or she knows what's going on but isn't saying for some weird reason.
My thoughts were broken however, a sudden weight had forced itself on me. How i was caught unawares is beyond me.
"It must have been quite the little adventure you had, though...i am curious".
Oh god.
"Didn't you ever try to get a little...intimate?, i mean being around an attractive young woman isn't exactly easy to deal with for a young man like yourself, right?".
Nope.
Nope, Nope, Nope, definitely Nope.
"Get off me!, and what the hell kind of question is that!?".
"What, traveling around like this it's only natural that you and your friend would mess around, right?".
Oh my god, of all the things to talk about why do you pick sex?, like why.
This pervert was five, she was the youngest out of the...well, five yet looked the oldest. It's complicated.
"... please leave".
She sighed "fine, oh! if you hear any... suggestive sounds while you're sleeping, well i think we both know who's making them".
When where there tent's?.
After a while, all that remained around the fire were myself, eris, the still sleeping three and one...now that I'm thinking about it, why would they need to sleep?. Ever since i got here I've never once felt tired or sleepy, even when i was human being actually tired was rare for me.
"There's a structure that we've found...for whatever reason it resembles a cathedral".
Without warning, one began to speak.
"It's in the north, coincidentally the same direction i found you two going in".
She spoke as she walked over to three and lifted her up.
"We'll be heading there in the morning, maybe we'll find some answers there".
With that she helped her sister to her tent and then went to her own.
Hopefully, this'll be short.
