Chapter 6 : A Challenge
...
At Thelad Sanctuary
(Vian POV)
...
"This will be a long day" I said while preparing to battle. The dragon run toward me and swing it tail. I can't jump since I got a baby dragon to protect. I block his tail with my weapon. It swing his right claw and I block it again but this time he swing his tail, he sent me flying untilI crash to a tree.
"I can't stand" I'm trying to get on my feet.
The dragon walk toward to sent another blow until the baby stop him. He turn his gaze toward the baby.
*rawwr**rawrr**rawrrr*
*RAWRRRR**RAWRR*
*rawwwrrr**rawrrrr*
They seemed talk each other. The dragon lower his claw and turn his gaze toward me. The baby help me to get on my feet.
"What? You're not gonna kill me?" the dragon shook his head. The baby run into his side and cuddling it.
"Ow, now I get it. you're his parent" he nodded.
"You're attacking me because you think I'm a bad guy, right?" he nodded again. Then they walk together deeper into the dungeon until they lost from my sight.
"Well, my bussines here is clear. It's time to go home" I leave the dungeon. A cloaked person saw him leaving the dungeon.
"Finally I found you, Vian" the cloaked smiled.
Planeptune City
After I take my reward from the Guild I planned to visit some store before I return to Bassilicom.
"I need to buy something for Nepgear. Medicine? I think they're already have it? present?" I place my hand under my chin, thinking.
"That will do it" I walk to a electronic shop to buy Nepgear present.
"This shop doesn't have any tool I looking for" I said while looking around the shop. Then a idea comes to my mind. I pick the most advanced wiring kit and headed to the cashier.
"It's 20.000 credit" I handed him my credit.
"Here you go, sir. Have a nice day" I walked out from the shop and walking toward Bassilicom.
"Time to do some old skill" I enter the Bassilicom and ride the elevator to the top floor. I met Histoire on my way to my room.
"Oh.. you're back, what's in your hand" Histoire said.
"It's just a present for Nepgear"
"what is your present exactly?"
"Just a wiring kit, I hear she like those kind of thing"
"She already have a wiring kit, I'm sorry for disappointing you" Histoire said but I smiled at her.
"She will like this thing, trust me" I said while entering my room.
2 Hours Later
It's dinner time and yet Vian still in his room while the others is preparing it.
"It's anyone know where's my handsome bodyguard gone?" Neptune said.
"I don't know sis" Nepgear said.
"If he's not coming he will waste Compa delicious cook" IF said.
"He's in his room. Nepgear can you call him for dinner" Histoire said.
"S-Sure I'll call him right now" Nepgear said while walking toward my room.
*Knock**Knock*
"Vian, are you there?"
"Yes, i'm here. Come in there's something I want to show you" Nepgear open my door and saw me sitting on my desk.
"You came at the right time Nepgear" Vian said.
"R-Really? Then what's the thing you want to show me?" Nepgear said her cheeks turn into light red.
"Close your eyes and held your hand" I said.
"C-C-Close my eyes?" her face getting redder than before. Nepgear close his eyes and held his hand.
"Now open your eyes" I handed her a box and she slowly open her eyes.
"What's inside this box" Nepgear asked me.
"Open it" Nepgear slowly open the box and saw what's inside the box. It's the wiring kit that Vian bought before but it's looks more advanced.
"What is this thing" her eyes sparkling in excitement.
"It's a advanced wiring kit that I craft from the standard wiring kit that I bought with the Galakryzer computer chip. There's nothing that can't be wired by this kit"
"Thank you very much" Nepgear said while hugging me. I blush a little.
"Umm.. Nepgear can you let me out?" when she realize it, her face getting red like a fresh tomato.
"I think we should get going before the food getting cold" I said.
"Y-Yeah you're right, maybe we should get going" she immediately leave my room, leaving me alone.
"Girls these day are unpredictable" I followed her to the dining hall. When I arrive eveyone turn their gaze to me.
"Umm... there's something on my face?"
"Nothing but we want to ask you about something?" If said.
"Why Nepgear face is red as tomato when she back from your room?" Neptune said.
"You're not doing anything inapropriate to my little sister. If you do ou better prepare a ton of painkiller"
"I-I-It's not like what youre thinking, I would never do that" I said.
"H-He's just giving me a present that's all" Nepgear said.
"Nepu, my bodyguard just make his move on his first day with my little sister" Histoire adn IF faceplamed.
"Neptune aside, let's take a dinner first my stomach can't hold it any longer" I said.
(A dinner later with Compa delicious food)
"Then what kind of present it is?" IF said.
"It's a custom-made wiring kit, it's like the limited advanced wiring kit. He combine a advanced wiring kit with a Galakryzer chip without a plan, isn't that great" her eyes sparkling.
"That's a brilliant idea" Histoire said.
"Is not a special thing" I said.
"Can you please teach me? I really want to learn it, please?" Nepgear said. Her eyes still sparkling.
"I'm sorry, I can't" I said. The sparkling on her eyes gone.
"Okay" Nepgear said. It's clearly seen that she's sad.
"I'm promise I will, but not now. Until then you can ask me to craft anything you like"
"Really? Thank you" she hugging me again. I blush a little when she's hug me.
"N-Nepgear can you release me?"
"Oh, r-right. I'm sorry" she backed a little.
"Nepu, my little sister is being lovey-dovey to my bodyguard" Neptune said.
"S-Sis, it's not something like that" Nepgear trying to calm her sister.
"I can't accept this. Vian, I challenge you to a battle for Nepgear?" Neptune said.
"whattttttt?!" everyone said in unison except Histoire.
"I challenge you tomorrow for a battle to decide who's right for my dearest little sister Nepgear" Neptune point her finger at me.
"P-Please don't do this, sis" Nepgear said.
"No, Nepgear. I need to save you from him. Beside Histy want to see how strong you are. right, Histy?" Neptune said. But do I need to fight her?.
"Indeed, I talk with Neptune earlier to test your power. To know is you worth to become her bodyguard or not" Histoire said while sipping her tea.
"But you already know that I'm strong enough right, Neptune?"
"That's true, but Histoire haven't see your strenght" Neptune said while he placed her hand on the back of her head.
"Come on, Neptune. I can't fight someone that I must protect" I'm trying to avoid fighting Neptune.
"I'm sorry Vian, I can't do that or Histy will be Pisty" Neptune said
"Who's you calling Pisty?" Histoire give us an irritated smile.
"Run for your life" Neptune trying to run but Histy caught her collar.
"Then, where's you guys want to fight?" IF said.
"We can't use the training room,since the military use it" Histoire said placed her hand under her chin.
"There's a empty land in Virtua's Forest, we can use it" I said.
"That's a good idea, wait.. don't you want to avoid fighting Neptune?"
"Well, it's seems I don't have any choice. So I will fight her"
"Lets call the others they surely want to see it" Neptune said.
"I want to sleep, I really tired" I said while walking to my room. I open the door. After I put my jacket to the hanger. I drop myself to my bed.
"Tomorrow will be a hard day" I close my eyes and let the darkness bring me to sleeep.
