Chapter 4: Frog and Onion Introductions

It's now Saturday, and I was sitting around in the living room watching tv. I've decided to give it a chance. Maybe some shows might be familiar. But still I'm not familiar with these channels. Like I'm going through every single one of them. And nothing seems to be the case. But yeah I decided to watch TV today.

…

While eating my Funyuns.

I never wanted to do much today because It's still gonna be boring… unless I want to meet the frog again. But not right now.

Animals are clearly not my thing. The only animals I like are Cats. They are just so cute. I have no problem dealing with cats. In my opinion, I believe cats are better than dogs. Dogs, nah. They're just too… overrated. I know they're playful, but just overrated.

But enough about that.

I wish I had something to do.

So, yeah. Today was just a normal day for me. Nothing much I could really do.

…

But… I'm really concerned about my powers. I wonder how my powers that I got from playing Puyo will affect. Maybe I should ask some people around, except for Raffina since I Puyo battled her, to give these Puyo skills more trial runs. So I do need to get outside more. Maybe I need to interact more.

I turned off the tv, threw away the Funyuns, and changed from my night clothes to my light purple t-shirt with a black star on the side, some black and white Nike shorts, and some black sneakers followed by black leg warmers. I know. Totally out of place clothes, but I just want to wear it.

I headed out the door and it was a little warm outside.

Better than the last few days since I got here. Not really much I could say about the temperature though.

I looked around the town, and it was really peaceful, as there was a fountain here, a playground, a shop, and etc.

I now sat on the fountain, not knowing what to do first. It must be hard trying to find something to do since it's only week one here in Primp Town. This is new to me, so I might not get a lot of stuff to take care of.

"Hey, Kaze." I heard someone next to me. It was Amitie, along with two other girls. And a Yellow… Rabbit? I don't know. One girl had orange hair that is tied into a ponytail and golden brown eyes. She had on a… um… blue armor, blue white and boots, and blue and white wristbands. The other girl had red hair with two ponytail curls with a green clip. She is currently wearing a school uniform. Which is a yellow sweater vest, and a white shirt that is decorated with a short tie, a red skirt with white rims, a red and green wristband, some long blue socks that reached her thigh, and some red and white boots. I can tell that they must be Amitie's friends for sure.

"Hi. I want you to meet my friends. They have an interest in seeing you."

Now it looks like I've got an opportunity to make an impression. But I might wanna lay low first.

"Hiya, Kaze. My name's Arle Nadja. But you can just call me Arle. This is Carbuncle. I hope we have a strong bond together."

"Gugugu."

"It's nice meeting you, Arle. You too Carbuncle. The pleasure's mine too." I said.

Strong… Bond?

"My name's Ringo. Nice to see you too." The Red-haired girl said.

"Same here. What are you all doing here?" I asked.

"We were just walking around Primp when I noticed you in the fountain."

"Yeah, I was kinda bored so…"

Just as I think about it. I wonder if I could invite them to my country someday. Maybe they'll get a chance at gaining friends. I might not be sure.

"No, it's fine. I'm sure we can walk around and talk to each other."

"Sure. I Guess So."

"So What's your home like, Kaze?" Arle said.

"It's like a huge country that has so many buildings and homes. There's a lot of people around there as well."

"That's nice. That might actually be way better than Suzaran." Ringo said.

"Suzaran?" I asked.

"Ringo's hometown." Amitie said.

"Oh."

"Oh yeah. Kaze, What did you see when you first arrived here?"

"Well… All I ever saw when I first came here was a frog on an acorn top while trying to see what the Primp Town Magic School was like. I had no idea what it was saying so I made him gesture yes or no in case I asked him questions. So I followed it after I asked him where the school was. And after that I just took it home and that was it."

"I think the frog you are mentioning was Donguri Gaeru."

…

…

…

…

…

"What?"

This place is kinda weird, but I'll try to get used to it.

"It may sound weird but at least you knew him alright."

"Um… ok."

Just like how I talked to Raffina the other day, I thought about how I can translate the frog (I don't know how the heck am I supposed to say his name.) so that I can very much understand what it's saying. It's odd talking to animals but y'know that's just how Primp is I suppose.

"But Lidelle on the other hand, she's really good at translating him." Amitie also said that had me surprised.

"You're kidding."

"I'm not kidding."

"I-I didn't know she had such mind reading."

"Because she has known Donguri Gaeru for so many years. And we couldn't even know what it's saying."

"Just like how Ringo would talk to an Onion." Arle said.

"A-Arle!"

"What? It's true."

"You talk to an Onion, Ringo?" I asked her.

"W-Well yes, but it has a name. It's name is Onion Pixy. That's what Lidelle calls it."

"I see. Man, Lidelle sure knows those creatures, huh."

"Well we could actually go see her. I'm not sure if she's free. But do you want to?"

"S-Sure. I just wanted to ask her about these creatures that she talks with."

As the five of us headed to the forest, we are now searching for Lidelle. This "Donguri Gaeru" had me thinking if I should translate it or not. Having to make it say yes or no makes me want to know more about it and I'm really concerned if Lidelle knows anything about it or what it is saying.

"Hey, there she is. Hey, Lidelle!" Amitie shouted.

"Oh. Amitie, Arle, Ringo, Kaze. What brings you all here?" Lidelle asked.

"Sorry to interrupt your peacefulness but Kaze wanted to ask you something." Amitie said.

"Oh? What is it?"

"You know Donguri Gaeru and Onion Pixy, right?"

"Yeah. What about them?"

"Well when I first arrived here, I was walking down my way to see the Primp Town Magic School until I saw Donguri Gaeru and I first didn't know what it was saying so I gestured to it to say yes or no. Then it knew where the school was so I followed it, it showed the school to me, and that was it. I kinda took it home after that. And about Onion Pixy, I heard the three say he is just an Onion. Do you know anything about those two? It's ok if you don't feel comfortable talking about it. I won't bother."

"No no, I know those two. I talk to them all the time. For Donguri Gaeru, he's just a normal frog on an acorn top, and he's one creature I can translate with. For Onion Pixy, He's more of an onion, but he's also known to be strong, and tough. He even protects his girlfriend, who is also an onion named Oniko. He's super protective of her. So protective, he even carries an iron club with spikes on it. And, he doesn't like being called "cute" as he can hit people with it. He's also another creature I can translate. They can both play Puyo as well."

An iron club… With Spikes?!

"Wow, yeah that's a lot of information there. Not a lot of creatures like those back in my world."

"But my world will get even better than that once we get there someday, Kaze." Arle said with a grin on her face.

"Yeah, thanks. But I wonder if we can…"

"Ribbit!"

"Onion!"

"Do a trial run." What showed up was Donguri Gaeru and Onion Pixy along with Oniko. His girlfriend that Lidelle must be talking about.

"Hi, Donguri Gaeru. Onion Pixy. Oniko. What are you three doing here?"

"Ribbit, Ribbit!"

"Oh. That's nice. Well, Guys, I have a new friend here named Kaze… Well I heard you already knew her, Donguri Gaeru."

"Ribbit!"

"Onion! Onion! Onion!"

…

"Well, I wouldn't say she's a warrior. But… somehow a… Student?"

"I-I guess you could put it that way. Speaking of Which, Are there any more like these two?"

"No but there are tons of them like these two."

"They start to riot in recent times but we usually get away from them." Arle said.

"Uh… Riot? But It looks to me like Donguri Gaeru can't fight since he's a frog, No?"

"Ribbit?! Ribbit?!"

"I-I mean… Urgh…" I think I said too much.

"KEEEEEE! PO PO PO!" Donguri Gaeru started to get angry at me.

"Donguri Gaeru! Calm Down! I know she didn't mean it like that!" Amitie shouted.

"Ribbit! Ribbit! KEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"*gulp* PUYO BATTLE!" I yelled out of nowhere trying to think of a way to calm him down on the field.

*Few Minutes Later* (I didn't want to show the whole battle. It'll be kinda boring to me.)

"R-Ri. Ri-ibbit."

"Kaze! Your Powers!" Amitie shouted!

"I can't believe what I was seeing in my own eyes!" Ringo shouted.

"Are you actually a fake?!" Arle shouted.

"Ok, First, I'm really Kaze, not a fake! Second, I didn't know Donguri Gaeru had this type of temper. I could've figured something worse was about to happen."

"ON ON ONION! Onion Onion!"

"Onion Pixy. I reckon not." Lidelle said.

"Ribbit. Ribbit."

"He's saying sorry to you, Kaze."

"*sigh* It's ok, Donguri Gaeru. And I'm sorry If I told you that you can't fight. I never mentioned that you can't fight in Puyo Matches. I was actually saying that you can't fight like Physically."

"Rib."

"Onion Onion! Onion Onion! On!"

"RIBBIT! KEEEEE! PO PO PO!"

"OKAY! Now with the Argument out of the way, What do you think about these creatures?" Ringo asked me.

"I think they're nice together. Just sorta… strong to begin with. I wish I had to get a chance to translate what they're saying." I said.

"That's good to know. Anywhere else you wanna go?" Amitie asked.

"You wanna go see my new house? If you're free."

"Oh, Would I! I never got the chance to see your house." Amitie said.

"I'm down for it." Ringo said.

"Ditto." Then Arle.

"Gugu." Then Carbuncle.

"Lidelle? You wanna come?"

"N-No thank you. I'll stay with Donguri Gaeru and Onion Pixy. I'll see you at school, Kaze and Amitie."

"Ok, Bye." Amitie said.

"See ya, Lidelle." I said.

"Later, Lidelle." Arle said.

"Bye, Lidelle." Ringo said.

Finally I get to live from that incident that happened recently. I didn't know what was up with Donguri Gaeru but at least I had to fix the situation with a Puyo Battle. And now with Amitie, Ringo, Arle and Carbuncle all at my side, we all head to my house with no hesitation.
