Chapter 4: Encounter!
Days?: Friend or Foe? Part 2
(Hobo Village #1)
"Tsurara. Do you see any sign or anything to tell us the name of this village?" I ask Tsurara, as I look around using 20% Sense-type Rise on my sight, to look around for the one sigh to tell us the name of the village. Knowing the name of a place is important to tell you what kind of place it really is.
"Let's call it Hobo V1. I mean, look at this place. It's a little run down and we're outside of the 4 kingdoms. So yeah, hobo came to my mine, since from the look of it. These people don't earn single cash in one of the kingdoms and living out here. Plus, from my mental map." Tsurara said to me, as she didn't look down on these people, but just a little. Since they're out here while the others are in one of the kingdoms.
"Well, guess we could call it that for now until we find out the name of this place from one of the people living here." I said to my little sister slowly since there no sign around us at all. Either someone took it down or they don't have any spare supply to make one.
We enter the village, then someone came up to us. He looks like he could use a shower or a dozen, maybe more, with the smell hitting my nose. Even forcing me to use my semblance to actually lower my sense of smell than increasing it. I had the feeling he one of those shady people who try to scam people, but he stops and looks at with a wry look on his face, once he saw we had weapons on us. Also, we look too clean to be from the nearby villages.
"Hello~! You two must be very powerful Huntsman and a Huntress to be able to come here without any transportation. Welcome to Woodland! It's not much. But, it's home. We got all the woods around us to use. Well, a few months we could use those trees. Most of our tools are close to breaking. Anywho, I'm one of the guardsmen of this village. Name's Silva Forest." The now known as Silva greets us, and thinking we were a Huntsman and Huntress. Also, explaining a few problems with this place, thinking we came here to help them or something.
I tilt my head a little closer to my little sister and whisper, "Well, at least you got the hobo part right." Tsurara's response was an elbow to the ribs. Silva either didn't hear me or just ignored me and kept his smile on his face. "It's nice to meet you. Mr. Forest. I'm Yuki Setsura Bellona and this my older brother. Karasuma Tadaomi Bellona. We're here to rest for a while as there's an area nearby require our attention, which is important to our mission." Tsurara(Yuki) lied through her teeth while greeting Silva with a polite voice, with a fake smile on her face as she ignores my rude comment.
It's a little disturbing to me, to see my little sister be so polite to strangers, but rude to me. 'Where did my cute innocent little sister go?!' I mentally cry to myself while outside I just kept my face blank, not an emotion shown.
Tsurara kept her fake smile on her face and just elbow me in the ribs again. 'I can hear your thoughts still! Yeah, sure, let's go with me being innocent. Hello~ I skin a grimm alive, and twisted its flesh and bones into something else. Sure me so innocent~ Get a hold of yourself, Baka-nii-san!' Tsurara's voice shouting at me in my mind while outside. Silva here looks like he is thinking really hard right now from listening to what Tsurara just said to him.
'Oh. I forgot I kept 10% Trance to link our minds, to allow us to talk to each other with our thoughts.' I thought dryly, 'But, I meant innocent before entering this world. I swear, where did I go wrong? I miss my poor innocent cute loving little sister who always want to get my attention when you were little.'
'Enough already!' Tsurara growl at me. "Well, I don't know anything nearby that important enough to require Huntsman and Huntress to show up, though, but seeing the two of you. I guess there must be something." Silva said to Tsurara, as he rubs the back of his a little confused.
'No. Seriously. Where did I go wrong with you?' I ask my little sister while increasing 20% Sense-type Rise on hearing, when I hear a few noises nearby and not I could hear a few people, just a few meters away, gossiping about us. 'You let me go on the internet.' Tsurara answers me, "Well, there's no need for you to worry about it. We will be done by tomorrow." Tsurara(Yuki) said to Silva in a polite tone.
'Wait, what? How that where I went wrong?' I ask a little curious and felt a dread coming. 'Guro~' Tsurara answer me. 'The hell is that?' I ask more confused than curious. 'Twisted human fetish. An art form which involves erotic and violent scenes with showing pain or horror.' Tsurara gave me the complete answer. 'My poor innocent little sister! I shouldn't have let you get on the internet! Wait, where did you even find this kind of things on the internet? I don't even remember having any history that including any twisted human fetish.' I shout in despair, but something hit me.
I glared at a few of the villagers nearby, when I heard one of them was talking to each other about how to capture my little sister. I feel sick to the stomach when one of them was an old man. Ignoring my little sister answering my question, as I started raising my Strength-type Rise in strength, speed, and endurance to 10% each, a total of 50%, with Sense-type Rise and Trance.
Tsurara lost her fake smile, when she noticed more people coming to our location. 'Nii-san. Silva just turned into an enemy on my mental map.' Tsurara said to me, as her right hand twitch, almost reaching for the odachi on her back.
Looking at the many males that pretty dirty like Silva and have big muscles from their life working whatever they work on to gain those muscles. They're just staring at us with hungry eyes.
"Ah! Where my manner. How about I give you guys a tour of the place?" Silva asks us while keeping the smile on his face and ignoring the people behind him.
Tsurara's answer was cutting Silva's head off before anyone could react. "When did my little sister become one those people who just killed someone without a thought?!" I asked in shocked about seeing my little sister just cut someone's head off.
Tsurara look at the rest of the villagers, with a blank face, causing them to take a few steps back. Dropping her duffle bag to the ground, then charge right at them with the intent to kill.
The villagers who saw this freaked out and a few of them ran away while those that mostly don't think at all, rushing at Tsurara with the advantage in more of them against a little girl.
As of right now, none of them have any weapons and they just saw how fast Tsurara was before their very eyes. But, nonetheless, they still recklessly charge in. This just proves to those that are running away, that we weren't faking about us being Huntsman and Huntress while they leave behind the fools who could think of taking on people with their aura unlocked.
'Actually, we haven't even registered to be a Huntsman and Huntress yet.' I thought dryly. Dropping my duffle bag next to Tsurara's duffle bag, then I run after my little sister, with my saber drawn out, ready to kill any of them, who has the gut to sneak attack at my little sister.
Not like I actually need to help my little sister with sneak attacks, thanks to her semblance. But, there always a chance of her not reacting fast enough.
Smacking one of the men's punches away from my face, with my right forearm, causing it snap the guy's left arm easily from that. Using the same arm, and thrust two of my fingers, straight into the guy's eyes. As the guy let out a scream of pain from his destroyed eyes. Pulling out two of my bloody fingers from the eye socket. Taking an extra step forward and send a right palm strike, killing the guy with their head burst out with bone fragments, blood, and brain matter.
'Ew. I can't believe we are killing people now. What the fuck is going on here?!' I thought to myself, with confusion going through me. Taking a sidestep to the right, and continue killing another villager with my saber.
Watching from the corner of my eyes, I see Tsurara cutting multiple villagers with just a swing strike from her odachi. Now, that I noticed it. Most of Tsurara cuts don't even leave a big mess like me, who just destroy someone's head and letting a few villagers losing their organs from the large cut on their stomach.
few minutes later*
Everywhere within 30 meters radius, there're many corpses around us. Most of the gruesome mess actually was caused by me rather than my little sister, who made sure her kills keep most of their bodies intact. For me, not so much. Few missing their heads, others scatter organs, and just scatter limbs.
"So unskillful." Tsurara mock me for all the messy kills around her, as she put her duffle bag over her right shoulder. "What's unskillful?!" I ask my little sister in shocked of being mocked by her again.
"You're being so messy with your kills~ Nii-san!" Tsurara said to me, with a smile on her face. If it weren't for the gruesome background, she would look like an angel. Well, more of an angel of death with the background helping her image.
"Whatever. What now? Should we leave this place or what?" I ask my little sister while ignoring her sticking her tongue at me. I put my saber back into its scabbard, then walk up to my duffle bag. Unzipping it, to grab one of the ration bars in my duffle bag and take a bite of it. Zipping the duffle bag and put it over my right shoulder.
"Can't believe we're low on honey." I mumble to myself, as I finish the ration bar in my hand. "Don't you mean, YOU are the one who made us low on honey. I snack on the honey cones. As of right now. No honey for you! My bees need their food." Tsurara shout at me, as she smacks the side of my head with her sheath, "Anyway, we're going to stay here for a while. I'm going to experiment on these bodies to make minions. You on the other hand. I don't know. Do whatever you do. I don't really care, but just make sure you don't go off too far." Tsurara finishes speaking to me and looking for a decent intact body to practice her semblance on.
Day?: Finish Project/Training
It has been a few weeks since we stay at Woodland. As of right now, all the villagers within the village had been captured and experimented on by Tsurara to figure out what different kind of effects she could do with her semblance. She tried making a longsword that used to have a human form, but was converted into a longsword while the person was still alive. Sadly, after a few days. The human longsword falls apart for some reasons.
Tsurara's theory was that the sword itself was still alive, but don't have anything to supply it to keep it alive. She couldn't feed it since the sword doesn't even have a mouth or anything that could be used to eat.
So Tsurara tried a different approach by combining a living plant with a living human during the process of converting. It was a success, barely, as there were a few parts that went wrong. The sword survives a bit longer, but it wouldn't be a sword any longer, since it pretty much turned into a wooden sword that could still cut and flammable now.
Seeing it won't grow to be a stronger weapon or anything. Tsurara gave that up, but she kept the notes and ideas on it, in her journal she created for her researches. One of her many ideas, that even surprised me a lot. One, for example, still an idea, is by using a 3-4 bullhead size adult grimm nevermore, add some Wind Dust, to give lower air resistance and faster flight travel while also having a wind barrier around the seating area. To block the wind from blowing us off the nevermore's back. Tsurara even planning to include a GPS installed in the nevermore's brain.
With the help of the GPS, it will allow the nevermore to locate our position and flight toward us whenever we call for it while it stay in the sky whenever we aren't riding it, Crow will hide either in the clouds or fly even higher to the point no one could see it from the naked eyes. Of course, Tsurara name her future pet Crow.
So far, that won't be happening anytime soon. Neither of us has enough control over our semblance to keep a living adult nevermore from attacking us and staying on the ground for Tsurara to start changing the nevermore itself.
Actually, Tsurara pointed out, that she isn't really going to use a wild grimm nevermore, but just an example was I call her out on turning a living wild grimm nevermore into our airship. Tsurara meant was it pretty much close to the shape of a nevermore, but made out of different materials, like more a cyborg. Knowing my little sister would get mad at me again soon. So I stop asking about her future pet Crow.
But, there were a few ideas that are very creepy and disturbing, but as a huge success. Tsurara was able to create a living motorcycle, that won't make any sound, unlike a normal nonliving motorcycle. The motorcycle was actually made from many living humans and plants as the first project for the sword.
This pretty much solve our fruit problems, as the motorcycle also could produce fruits under the seat, but require using aura to jump start the motorcycle to produce the fruit. Also, since it both human and plant, it would only require water, sunlight, and sometimes meat and fruit to increase the speed, with the human part by using the extra energy it gained from the meat and fruit.
Of course, this took most of her time to get it right. At one point, the motorcycle was too slow and fall to the side. Another was that it broke down instantly and one time for an early success with the right amount of speed, but the main problems were there no brake or the ability to turn. Lucky for Tsurara at the time. I was nearby to save her from crashing into one the buildings.
Once that was over. Tsurara forced me to test out her projects instead of doing herself unless she wanted to. Being the good older brother, I am. I said no to her. Which earn me teary eyes of my little sister, breaking my heart, causing me to give up, but glared at her when she revealing that she faked it.
After finishing making a living motorcycle, with a storage for water and a portable greenhouse that grow fruits. Speaking of the motorcycle, it's pretty bigger than the average size motorcycle, around 3 times bigger.
While my little sister was working on her projects. I was continuing training my semblance and body. I was finally getting to the point of activating Burst Stream in 0.1 seconds, without moving of course. Moving around while using Burst Stream actually stay around 30 seconds before I drop it. Also, it requires 10 seconds for me to focus enough to activate Burst Stream while moving. Anything breaks my focus during those 10 seconds will force me to cancel Burst Stream before it could activate.
"Nii-san! Come on! Time for us to go! So hurry up and drive us out of here." Tsurara calls out to me. I roll my eyes at her and walk up the human/plant motorcycle. Popping up the seat and putting my duffle bag along with Tsurara's duffle bag inside.
Grabbing a pairs of goggles, passing one to Tsurara as I put my own. Once I got the goggle set comfortable for me. I put the seat back down, then got on the motorcycle, with Tsurara seating behind and wrapping her arms around me. As we ride towards Vale.
"We got everything we need?" I ask my little sister, as I get comfortable in my seat. "Ration bars in the duffle bags. We should have about 2 dozen of medickits." Tsurara answers my question, as she also gets comfortable first in her seat.
"Do you have any idea how long it will take us to get to Vale?" I ask my little sister, as I kick-start the motorcycle by pouring a bit of aura. Then steer us a few corners and out of the Woodland Village, as we continue heading towards Vale. "No idea~ But, we will enjoy our travel! Now, go faster!" Tsurara shouts at me over the loud wind going through our hairs.
