I edited the 2nd Chapter.
Do I really need to say that Tate no Yuusha and Kamen Rider 555 wasn't mine?
Takumi left the castle with mixed of sour and confused feeling. One was because of the false charge and the other because of his sudden burst. On the way he could see people are avoiding him while showing disgust on their face.
Nothing will change even, if he wanted to testify. But, more Importantly...
"Who are you?" asked Takumi to no one.
[Oya? were you perhaps talking to me? tes tes, Standing By?]
"sigh, Henshin."
[Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! You do hear me now!]
"You're noisy..."
[This is great!~] The voice rejoice at the current development,
[Though, I really wished to talked more with you. This isn't really the right place.] the voice paused for a bit,
[people are looking.]
"huh?" the confused Takumi looked at his surrounding. "oh..."
Takumi decide to postpone the talked until he is out of the city.
As Takumi walked on, he could see a familiar face in front of him.
The Weapon shop keeper (Oyaji) from yesterday stood in front of him.
Both of them stare at each other silently.
The oldman assesing him, and before long,
"Don't die." said the Oldman as he passed by Takumi.
Takumi only smile, walked away, and go out of the city.
Meadow~
Level Up, an announcement appears on Takumi's view. He had fighting the monster for days and finally managed to raise His level.
His attack points are low, so it take a lot of time to do it. He couldn't relied on his Orphnoch form, since he didn't received any experience.
He then rest below a tree he found around the meadow.
"Oi... you there?" asked Takumi. "Oi?"
[O-, I'm Sor-y... D- You hear m- now?]
"Yeah, I heard you... though, it's a bit unclear"
[Haha~ Sorry. To te-- you the truth it -- me my all to talked to you right now.] the voice paused,
[Though, I roughly fo-- the reason -- these.]
Takumi felt the voice was looking at him intensely.
[It might be because your level are still too low~] said the voice playfuly and clearly.
Takumi swore he was stabbed by an arrow just now.
"more Importantly... who are you?"
[That's right. I haven't Introduced my self yet.] The voice Paused,
[I'm one of the three shield which protect the king... Kaixa is my name.]
"Kaixa...?"
[Yes, that's my name.]
Takumi then asked it,
"Does that means, Faiz and Delta was also there?" he asked. Seriously it's name are actually one of the three Rider belt he knew about.
[Oh my~ To think you figure that out your self, Sasuga waga Ou.]
As expected is what Takumi face showed... Wait what?
"King?" said the confused Takumi, "me?" he pointed at himself.
[My King, you're a humorous ones~. Is there anyone else I'm talking to right now? ]
"No..."
[Tsubarashi!~]
At this moment Takumi knew, he fuck up (Just kidding)
[Also, my king.]
"what?"
[You can talked to me via thought you know~]
'eh?'
[That's the way!~]
Takumi was amazed at how energetic and kinda annoying this proclaimed Kaixa are, but he need to confirm few things.
'So if you're Kaixa(?), and I can speak with you.. does the same thing applied with the others two?'
[Unfortunately I'm the only that able to, and I'm not strong enough to contact them~.]
'is that so...?'
That's to bad eh...
[Hehe~ BTW my King~]
'what?'
[You forgot to sold the herb~.]
"Aaaaaaaah!"
[You're welcome~.]
Takumi returned back into to the city, he realize (thanks to someone) there's something he forgot to do this morning.
But first of all, he will sold the monster remains first.
"aah~ Takumi-dono, what this humble self can helped you hehe." said the Items shop keeper.
Takumi sold the monster remains Here yesterday, and got into an arguments with the Item shop keeper. The reason for that is because he tried to swindle him.
They argue and suddenly the shop keeper face become pale. Takumi didn't knew why, but Kaixa might knew the reason. He will have to asked him on the way.
"You're... creeping me out." said Takumi.
"Don't say that hahahaha~."
"How much." said Takumi as he put the monsters remains on the counter.
Takumi later go into medicine store to sold his harvested Medicine leaf.
"These are high quality, where you got them?"
"Umm... at the meadow and within the forest... you can found a lot of them... haha." said Takumi.
He couldn't say the quality was thanks to His shield tho.
[You know that's a lie my King~]
'technicaly, it's fifty fifty'
"Hooo, to think such quality herb could be found there." said the medicine SK as he counted the money for the herb.
Takumi then go inside the inn and rent a room.
[Buhahahahaha~, did you see his face my King?~] asked Kaixa while holding it's laugh,
["welcome oh great hero" he said~ That face of him is priceless~.] Continue it as it's barely Hold it's laugh,
[Well, I Guess that was expected after your burst this morning. Rumor spread faster isn't it~.]
"sigh*"
[Isn't that great my King?~]
"No, it's not!"
[What are you talking about my king!?~ This is a lot better than being looked down you know!~] state Kaixa with all of it's heart.
[Just thinking of my King being insulted by people around him... This Kaixa... This Kaixa... couldn't hold it's tears back!] said Kaixa while crying.
"Arghh, I understand! I understand, so stop crying!"
[That's great then~] said Kaixa playfuly as if it's cry from before were mere Illusion.
'This guy(?)...!' curse Takumi.
[Sa sa~, It's sleeping time my King! If you don't get enough sleep it won't be Good for your health~]
A reasonable yet annoying reason come out, not that Takumi had the energy to retort to it.
"...Yeah... I guess you're right... Good night."
[Sleep well, my King~.]
4th day on the first week.
[Fighto, fighto, Oh my King~ Fighto, fighto, Oh my king~.]
"Ha!"
smack*
you received 1 exp.
Level up!
[That's wonderful my King *munch munch*~]
"Yeah, I Finally level up again."
His strength could only harm the Orange one, but not for the other color.
[Yacha, this is troublesome *munch munch*~]
Takumi continue to hunted monsters for, but as he do something actually bothering him.
'You know, it's started to bother me...'
[What is it? *munch munch*~]
'what the hell are you eating or rather you can eat?'
*swallow, Yea, There's so many Ballons remains here. I Got bored so I tried to eat it, and surprised I could eat them *munch munch*~]
'wait? There's a ballon remains within? You mean in the shield? I mean, aren't this shield consume them to unlocked a new one?'
[This Kaixa won't dare lying at you! You can see them for yourself if you wanted to!] state Kaixa Super serious.
"How in the world I'm supposed to see them! It's within the shield for God sake!" Shout Takumi.
If anyone see him right now, people will think he was either crazy or a weirdo for talking to himself.
Fortunately, no one except them... Isn't?
[I don't know, perhaps thinking about them maybe?]
'seriously?'
[tehehe~]
'Not that I got a clue myself... *sigh* looks like I will have to believe your suggestion... I guess'
Takumi Then Focus thinking about the ballon remains.
[But, if it was a dud please don't blam-] a pile of Ballons remains come out from the shield, [It's out! My King, it's OUT!]
"Y, Yeah... It's really come out..."
[And now all of my snack are gone!]
'... Oi..."
At the tavern~
Takumi is sitting down and spacing out is how the people around him saw him right now.
But in truth Takumi were taking with a voice and they are discussing their new discovery.
'So you're saying you can increase your talking duration when you eat some of the monster remains?'
[Roughly speaking It's just a Theory, though a reasonable one. But, Looks like what we really need are levels after all *sigh* these monster remains won't last long...]
Takumi only heard munching sound for few minutes. It's feels weird since it actually come directly into his brain.
[We need more fire power ASAP.]
'I know, but it's not like we can just force someone to be our party.'
Takumi glance at the people within the bar. All of them looked away, don't wanted to involved.
None of them dare to even talked towards Takumi. There's some people or rather beastman talking to him. Kaixa actually told him to not Take the offer, their eyes looked weird. It's like they are obsessed at something.
[Nah~ not these guys. They felt unworthy, as soon as they done with their businesses they will leave you, So big NOPE~.]
'You think so?'
Now That Takumi think about it. Kaixa actually smart. Its sometime talked childish, but overall it was Smart. Even more than him.
"Ne, That's him isn't it?"
"Was the Rumor true?"
"He threaten the Royal Family."
"They said he killed the people in the castle."
"One of the soldier even quit because of it."
"*chatter chatter chatter*"
Takumi had a feeling some of the rumor has been exaggerated and for some reason he believe some of them were actually true.
Takumi then go out of the tavern and returned back into the inn.
Takumi repeat the same routine, defeat monster, Gain one exp for each, sold medicine herb, and before he knew it.
He almost already reached lv.4 and The second week had already begun.
1st day on the second weeks.
The street at night~
Some question actually come out on Takumi's mind.
[My role?]
'Yeah, the fact we can communicate to each other while the other two can't means you have an important role right?'
Takumi asked Kaixa, and with pridefull along with happy voice Kaixa answered him,
[Of course I'm~. My role are more important than you know... for example..~] said Kaixa playfult yet warily, [there's someone watching... Behind us~.]
Takumi looked behind,
"who's there? show yourself." said Takumi. He and Kaixa waiting for spectator to come out.
"Oya Oya~, To think you notice me before I even able to greet you. I guess you are more than what the rumor said."
A strange man wearing a tailcoat and a hat, which looks to be made of silk, appeared out of the shadow.
And he also,
'Sunglasses?'
[Just his taste, maybe~.]
'haha, That's a convenient explanation.'
"'I don't have enough manpower.'" the man started talking.
[Oya, Oya~ This might be... interesting~.]
'Kaixa?'
"'I can't defeat any monsters.'"
[My king, Just follow along with whatever I'm saying.]
'why?'
"If that's the case, then I have something just for you, kind sir."
[If I was right. We might have found the solution for our lack of fire power~] Kaixa paused, [So, please believe in me...] said Kaixa sadly.
"Do you Interested?"
'Alright then... I will believe you.'
[Thank you... I also wanted to apologize in advance...]"???"[Now then, first of all...]
[What can you over." said Takumi.
The weird gentleman smirk,
"a slave of course"
They walked through the back alleys for awhile.
Ducking into a dark, hidden side street, they then came across what seems looked like a circus tent.
They then Go inside the circus tent.
The interior was dimly lit with a faintly necrotic odor hanging in the air.
Because of the strong, beastly smell, one could easily tell that the environment wasn't clean.
Within the numerous cages, humanoid shadows wriggled and squirmed.
The slaver showed Takumi his best merchandise, and saying He and Takumi might be in long term relationship or such.
"Give me your cheapest and best merchandise *munch munch*."
"Did you hear me? *munch munch*~"
"Ah... Yes, follow me~."
[My King, you dummy!]
'hmm?'
[Forget it!]
They then stopped at the front of three cage, and in a few second the pressure on the area changed.
Saying Takumi was fine would be wrong. He tried to surpassed his Anger, but his Dark Aura parameter said the other way.
He had prepared when slave was mentioned, He knew well in Human history. Slavery bat no eyes, Man and Woman, Poor and Rich, Old and Young, everything is on the plate.
And now he knew why Kaixa apologize earlier on.
[My king, please Hold yourself!]
'I'm trying!'
A children was there inside the cage.
"Uhyo!~ Such suffocating presence!" said the slaver, "I was also tried to approach hero-sama with something in mind. But, looks like I've to changed my mind."
"The child... How much?" Takumi asked the slaver.
"Hee!?!" The girl looked at Takumi fearfuly.
"The Raccoon girl eh... It's 30 silver. Also, she afflicted by panic and ailment. Is that fine with you?"
"I decide, I will choose her."
"With pleasure~" The slaver bow elegantly.
He open the cage and dragging the girl along, the slave trader returned and called someone from inside the semi-opened circus tent to retrieve a vase.
Then, he poured some ink into a small saucer and directed it towards Takumi.
"Hero-sama, please share some of your blood. Then the ritual process will be complete, and this slave shall become yours~."
"I see."
Takumi used a knife to slightly cut open one of his finger.
Blood ooze out, then he dripped several drops into the saucer.
The slave trader used a brush to soak up the ink, then he tore the slave's clothes down to her waist and painted the stigma on her body.
"GYAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
The slave stigma started to glow, and an icon appeared in Takumi's status window.
Obtained a slave.
A message with terms of service agreement appeared and Numerous terms and conditions are listed.
Takumi skimmed through it all.
"Now this slave is yours, Hero-sama. Please complete your purchase."
"Yeah."
Takumi handed over 33 silver coins.
"Oya, There's 3 extra in them~."
"For the ceremony service. That would be fine right?" said Takumi.
"... Of course. We're looking forward to your next visit."
Takumi commanded the slave to follow him and left the circus tent.
The slave trailed behind Takumi with a dark expression.
"What's your name?" asked Takumi softly.
"..." She looked away. Usually, a slave that disobey it's master order will face the consequence. But, since Takumi slave settings aren't in absolute obedience. The slave stigma won't activate unless the order was a really absolute one or when the slave tried to betray it's master.
"It's okay... you can tell me when you want." said Takumi as he grab the slave hand.
Holding her hand, Takumi continued to walk through the back alley.
Unknown to Takumi the slave staring at Takumi right now.
'Was this really necessary?' asked Takumi.
[Yes, it was.] said Kaixa.
"..."
[Unlike normal human, a slave won't betray and won't be able to plot behind your back.]
"..."
[Though, my king wouldn't really accept such reason right? You might even hate me for doing this.]
"..."
[But, if by hating me you can grow stronger. Then I will gladly accept such role.]
"..."
[For my king is the reason I'm exist~.]
"I see."
chapter End~
Yay, finished! *Joker dance*
Done and done, So yeah that's the role for Kaixa.
I have many use for her/him, one of the example for it is to swindle *chuckle*
It's job is to watched over Takumi and teach him on how to using Faiz and Delta shield.
While corrupting Takumi bit by bit ~ Just kiding~ (50/50)
Yes, Takumi will Henshin later on the story. By Using 'you know what He hold'.
My concern are...
should he solely become Delta and using all of Faiz power up. He will become Op as hell.
Delta was known as the strongest Rider among the three in the main series... He got Nerf later on tho (ROLF)
or should he also become Faiz?
Sorry if there's bad grammars and Thanks for reading~
