Pyro POV
Pyro here. Ever wondered how would it be if the world you were in had some sort of mechas? And if it had magic? And Magic Mechas?
Get to the point!
Come on! It's not like you don't want a mecha, you just playing hard to get!
We don't have enough power to create the mecha, or even to operate it!
For now yes, but I wonder what if-
Boys and their guns. Could you please talk about something else? It's getting annoying. I wish you never asked about golems.
But they are lesser version of automatons! So of course if I research that topic I can probably create a magic powered MECHA!
But first you need to create a working automaton, or at least a golem. That one which you created of darkness was elemental puppet, not golem.
Yeah, yeah. Golems are not able to use magic, so better start on automatons.
Try golems first.
Why do I... hmm... Yes will try create a metal golem. Maybe after some mods, and give a magic rifle... need to create magic rifle first, so maybe bow or crossbow? Crossbow will be quite interesting. Install it into arms, make four hands, add claws and make it look like arachno-drone, just man sized with upper half of human-like appearance. Oh and make it sleek and black in color. Maybe-
Just do IT!!!
Yeah, I'm thinking on how should I do it. I miss my minions. But They will work with the girls, so not all is bad.
Golem! You were going to make a golem!
Not now. Will need materials. I will visit blacksmith and... no better if I do it in capital. Have you seen the prices here? I will only get some demon ore from here and some of those crystals. Do you think they will sell me some?
…
Maybe you will talk to me?
Go and purchase some. If not, order through queen, you also can order through king, but he will ask his wife for permission anyway.
Who would have thought that queen has more power here?
Yes, who would have known that those novels were mostly correct.
Was it sarcasm? Nevermind that. Let's go eat something tasty!
So I came back to the inn after some city touring. Well the place we staying at is named 'Singing Boar'. Never knew that boars can sing, but considering that 'boar' could be 'human' it makes sense. After I descended to the ground floor and entered the tavern area, I met up with other heroes. You know, after some thoughts being hero is not bad, it's quite similar to my life as assassin, but now people like me, most of the time at least, while I retain the same perks: free first class travel, though it means carriage this time, good pay, more or less, though no free soda! And I like that stuff! I can probably make one here, but don't wanna. I still need to make ice-cream, I am an assassin and prankster, sometimes at least, but I have my own honor code.
Ken: “Hey, Kuro! Come here! *hiccup* Drink with us!” and he's wasted. I sat at the same table and asked.
Pyro: “Kleo, did Ken decided to get drunk?” she turned to me and whispered.
Kleo: “No, it's mostly our fault. Mia and I wanted to know him better, but this happened.”
Pyro: “By 'this happened' you mean?”
Kleo: “We drank few bottles of wine and he started talking about his world. He liked the taste of wine and it ended in him drinking nine more bottles.” those bottles are around 1 liter each? No slightly less...
Emty glass bottle.
Can contain up to 0.8 liters of liquid.
Appraisal-sama! What would I do without you?
Pyro: “Yeah, I think he won't have a good morning tomorrow, but I know an old recipe of easing the hangover.”
Mia: “What is it?” Mia... rabbit-kin. Quite cute one and one of Ken's first slaves. Not really talkative though.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Pyro: “Pressure relief.”
Kleo: “What do you-”
Mia: “He means sex.” well not really, but it will do too.
Pyro: “Just be gentle with him, and don't overdo it.” oh right he has quite a harem, first slaves he bought are Mia and some cat-kin, and three fighters which are Kleo, some nature elf and a halfling. Don't really remember their names though. “Anyway what's on the menu?”
Kleo: “Just as usual. Ask the waitress for full menu, but all taverns have some drinks like beer and wine, some roasted meat and sandwiches.” oh yeah, forgot to tell you guys that Kleo is unofficial leader of his slaves. And she acts like elder sister to other girls in his group, and a main bodyguard of Ken, mostly lower part of Ken for past month, as she was in heat, along with other beast girls. Why my foxy and hers sister wlofie didn't act like that?
Pyro: “OK. Hey waitress!”
Waitress: “Yes? Oh and no need to shout.”
Pyro: “Got it. Menu please?”
Waitress: “Dish of the day, roasted meats, soups, cheese, beer and wine.”
Pyro: “Dish of the day?”
Waitress: “Yes, today it's a chicken with-”
Pyro: “Two portions, and do you have orange juice?”
Waitress: “Orange? No, but we have apple cider and apple juice.”
Pyro: “Cider it is then.” after she took the order and left I sighed. “Can't believe this place doesn't have citrus trees. They have olives! Why not lemon or orange?” I know that I am complaining, but I really like orange juice. And orange soda. I still remember the time I signed up for an ambush, for the time of ambush I asked for a crate of orange juice and soda, along with some chips and chocolate bars. I was heartbroken when I had to leave half of the stuff behind. That bastard had the nerves to show up before I finished my food! And afterwards I had to burn those innocent products. I hope he's burning in hell for this transgression!
Kleo: “I remember orange trees growing in my homeland.”
Pyro: “Where it is? QUICK TELL ME!!!”
Kleo: “It's in Jur'kreas continent, the glorious nation of-” I quickly took the map from inventory and put it on table.
Pyro: “Here is map, quickly show me!”
Kleo: “It's here, southern continent. We also-” don't really care about it, but it's quite a distance from this place. Oh right there are six continents, to the west is demon continent which is quite close to another continent, that we are on, named Arcadia, then to the north is the continent of powerful creatures Nork continent, Southern continent is Jur'kreas where most beastmen live, eastern continet is Eldor continent, the elven homeland, and to the north east is Frozen Wasteland, which will probably be good place for my stronghold. Hey they never said that after defeat of demon lord I can't become another one, did they?
Pyro: “*Salivates* My precious vitamins... oh how I missed you all those months...” I am slightly addicted to oranges... what can I say, everyone has a weak point.
Kleo: “You alright?”
Pyro: “Yep! Now I could finally eat proper breakfast! I hate porridge.” the only thing I hate more is oatmeal. Oatmeal is just a torture for my stomach. No I can eat it, but I really hate it, I would prefer eating paper than oatmeal. Only rotten food is worse, and let me tell you I had tasted a lot of different stuff... I still have nightmares about some of those foods...
Kleo: “You ate porridge on breakfast?”
Pyro: “Praised be chaos, no.”
Chaos: “Oh-ho-ho... I'm thinking of making you-”
Pyro: “NOT INTERESTED! Bye!”
Chaos: “Hey! I'm here was talking to you! Anyway you are my champion, so-”
Pyro: “Pshhhttt... can't... pshhhttt... hear... pshhtttt... you.”
Chaos: “You understand that it's not a cellphone, right?”
Pyro: “Please leave a message.”
Chaos: “And I thought you would like some info on smugglers.”
Pyro: “Beeep!”
Chaos: “I will rework my blessing.”
Pyro: “What does it do anyway?”
Chaos: “You will have to figure it out yourself.”
Pyro: “Hey wait a mi-”
Bastard! He hang up on me! Oh well...
Waitress: “Here is your order.” fast...
Pyro: “Itadakimasu!” chicken! Food of gods! If not, then they are heretics. Turkey is also the food of gods... why do those Greece morons said it was some ambrosia? Nuka-cola is much better than that shit, at least I think so. I prefer oranges anyway.
Mia: “What does it mean?”
Pyro: “What?” eat the chicken and shrooms! Why the portions are so small? Only one grown chicken. I will order a few more.
Mia: “Itadakimasu? What does it mean? Kenji also says it often.”
Pyro: “Praise be food. If you like the food you say it.” there was something more on that matter, but I don't care.
Mia: “Have you starved? Why praise food?” She doesn't know?
Pyro: “Long story short, I really like chicken. I also like different types of food, but I say Itadakimasu only when I really like it. Oh sometimes it was used by some perverts who liked... wait why am I telling you that?” and so I continued munching on my meal... why do I feel like someone staring at me intensely? I decided to look around, while still eating my order of course, and notice quite a lot of stares at me. “-What? Don't tell me that neither of you really likes something, so he forgets himself-?” good stuff this air magic, set some vibrations and you can talk with your mouth closed, or when you eat.
Kleo: “What was that?”
Pyro: “-Air magic. I don't want to stop eating.-”
Kleo: “How did you-”
Pyro: “-Don't underestimate my desire to eat chicken!-” What's wrong with those people?
Mia: “Kleo, leave him be. He is similar to our master when he pets us.” Huh? Ken? I can understand you.
Pyro: “-It's because he loves fluffy things, and appendages of beast-kin girls are very soft. I also like petting Kas sometimes, however she often faints... Ai haven't fainted a single time, maybe it's because Kas is fox-kin?-”
Mia: “Those appendages are very sensitive.” Oh... wait... let's finish my meal.
Pyro: “Tasty... oh... so you mean it's something like G-zones? I think I accidentally violated Kas... ups...” now I get it why she blushed everytime she saw me. I haven't made the progress with my arachnees!
Kleo: “You didn't know?”
Pyro: “From where? I wasn't that interested in fantasy novels in my world.” I was interested, but not to the Ken's degree. Why are they laughing? “Hey why are you-”
Elf: “It's because you don't know the common sense!”
Pyro: “Who needs it anyway?” and they started laughing even more. Why do I feel so good when I'm around this bunch? Too bad Ken fell asleep. Good thing he wasn't sleeping on my chicken, but his salad.
The time passed rather quickly, and after an hour we departed to our rooms. Rather funny days. Need to get my squad ready and travel around... maybe 'pet' Aeshia and Morgana? Maybe at the same time? My cute little arachnees... I will pet them a lot in the coming days... when I return that is...
