Chapter 20 - "Shopping spree"

Since my encounter with Wyndy a week have passed... And we were still in this goddamn cave! It all started the day after I gave Elivera a one day dead line. As I asked if she were ready she answered me with.

"What? Did you really think I would be able to go away this quickly? Sorry but give me another day. I mean, you can wait for a day can't you?" (Elivera)

And since I did think it couldn't be helped, I didn't do as I said and took her by force because that would be more of a pain latter. So I passed the day by answering Wyndy questions who had a lots of them since she never had anybody to answer her before. And another day passed and she asked for one more day, and that process repeated and now a week passed...

"Goddamn you Elivera! I won't wait anymore than this! If your not ready today I swear I take you by the neck, and drag you there myself!" (Shun)

"Calm down! It's done! We're ready to go! I'm sorry to have lied to you but you were unreasonable to ask me to be ready in a day! Do you even know all I must do before departing?!" (Elivera)

"*Sigh* At least your ready to go now no? So let's just go already! I have enough of living in your creepy love cave!" (Shun)

"Goddamn you! Here I am lodging you and preparing myself to fight with you a freakin' king! And that how you act?!" (Elivera)

"What am I supposed to say?! Do you know the hard time I had to sleep in you bedroom, as it was smelling of substances I can't even mention in front of Wyndy?!" (Shun)

"I don't want to hear that from you! You goddamn perverted blades lover!" (Elivera)

"Stop! Fighting bad!" (Wyndy)

Said Wyndy while pouting cutely making me change my attitude entirely, as I couldn't contain myself in front of all that cuteness. I started to rub her cheek with mine while she was in my arms making a "Guchi guchi guchi" sounds... Damn I'm creepy! What power this little fella hold to make me act this way...

"You're seriously creepy..." (Elivera)

I know that already!!!

"A-ny-way! Let's go already. If you don't I swear I'm going to get angry for good..." (Shun)

"Fine! Let's go." (Elivera)

She turned around and lead me down the path after I came back one last time to her bedroom to take my backpack. Down there behind the rocks who were hiding the said path, was the horses who didn't move from here and even got some installation made for them in the meantime, two of them where attached to the carriage we stole from the slaver, who was changed from a cage to a mobile home.

"Don't tell me we took a week just for that?!" (Shun)

"Of course not! It's just something my boys made so I can travel in more comfort." (Elivera)

"*Sigh* With those horses it's sure going to take a will uh..." (Shun)

"Now that I think about it, you sure run fast, were is the prince by the way? You only told me he was to the south..." (Elivera)

"At the city of 'Mellanor' that is under the control of the Duke Galvira." (Shun)

"... What?" (Elivera)

"Is something wrong?" (Shun)

"Well... Didn't you go there after our first encounter and came back here after that?" (Elivera)

"Yes I did so what?" (Shun)

"... How did you even made it there and back in less than two weeks?! It's the time you need to travel there from here on horse back!" (Elivera)

"I ran..." (Shun)

"You ran?... BULLSHIT! Are you kidding me?! I know you run fast but still!" (Elivera)

"Well I don't run really faster than a horse, but I can run at a horse max speed continuously for 5 straight days..." (Shun)

"Are you even human?!" (Elivera)

"Well... I never said I was..." (Shun)

Hearing that Elivera fixed me with a weird face wondering what I meant by that, but judged it would safer to drop the subject and just entered the carriage. I followed her and inside was two comfortable couches, large enough to sleep on it without a worry. Well at least we're going to travel in comfort...

"Who's going to be the coachman?" (Shun)

As I asked that a boy around my age but shorter, as I was pretty tall for my age, appeared.

"I'm Rakki sir! A pleasure working with you sir!" (Rakki)

"Sure..." (Shun)

"Don't worry about it, this child is the serious kind." (Elivera)

"Right..." (Shun)

"Um!" (Wyndy)

Wyndy nodded at her showing she understood, thinking she was talking to her... Cute...

"Okay then Rakki let's just go already, we lost enough time already!" (Shun)

I gave the order to Rakki who made a salute before going to the front of the carriage, as he did I simply put Wyndy who was in my arms on one of the couches and put my backpack on the floor near it before sitting beside her. As I did Elivera sit in front of me.

"Okay, so what the plan? We're going straight to Mellanor or there somewhere else you must go before that?" (Elivera)

"Nope! We're going straight there, we grab the prince and a small troop of elites knights and we go kick that mother fuc... I mean that really bad king person..." I still had a hard time minding what I say in front of Wyndy...

"I... See... It sure sound simple when you say it..." (Elivera)

"It's because it is simple. I'm really impatient to have that... Idiot? In front of me..." (Shun)

And that how our travel started...

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 

Meanwhile in the city of Mellanor.

"Princesssss." (Mysty)

"I told you to stop calling me that! What would you do if a spy were to heard that!" (Sarius)

"Sarrina don't hold it against sister Mystyval, she's stupid..." (Setsuna)

"And you! Stop using my real name!" (Sarrina?)

Yes... My real name is Sarrina, Sarius is my official name, but my mother refused to give me only a male name and gave me the name Sarrina, those dumb cursed blades learned that through Lucia and was now bugging me... But I know how to deal with them, after living with them for two weeks...

"If you continue... Shun going to be pissed at you, for screwing up his plan..." (Sarrina)

"..." "..." (Mytsy & Setsuna)

"What are thou saying Sarius? We did nothing to go against my lord plan!" (Setsuna)

"That's right Prince! You're a meanie!" (Mysty)

It work every time...

"Anyway what do you want? You didn't just call me to tease me did you?" (Sarrina)

Mysty looked at each other and nodded as if they came to an agreement.

"Yes, my lord should soon be back as already two weeks passed, so we wanted to ask thou to accompany us for buying 'necessary' things..." (Setsuna)

Necessary? What is? Well if it's that important I guess I accompany them, as they can't be separated from me by order of their master.

"Sure... But what do you need so much that you can't ask the maids to buy it for you?" (Sarrina)

"Uhuhuhuh. You naive thing, you shall see for yourself!" (Mysty)

Mysty took an imposing pose while calling me naive... Hearing that from her wasn't really credible...

"Fine let's go..." (Sarrina)

And so, me in disguise and the two cursed blades gone to the city accompanied by Lucia who also was curious as what they needed, but she seemed to have a better idea of what it could be, as she was blushing and looked excited when she asked them to let her accompany us... What could it be?

After walking for a while we reached the red light district...

"Wait a minute!" (Sarrina)

As I raised my voice in shock the others turned around to see what was wrong.

"Where the hell are you bringing me?!" (Sarrina)

When I said that everyone, even Lucia, sighed while saying thing like, 'what a kid'. I'm the normal one here you band of perverts!

"Just follow us thou will understand soon enough." (Setsuna)

Red from embarrassment as I walked through streets who was already filled with prostitutes even though it was still earlier in the afternoon, I followed along them silently, as we walked the street some men who were already drunks accosted us asking 'how much', but simply by giving them a look full of blood-lust Mysty made them pass-out. SCARY! As we walked along, we leaved a trail of unconscious men on the street, it was ridiculous... Finally we reached what seemed to be the first destination and Lucia was clearly excited to enter it.

It was... A lingerie shop... WHAT THE HELL?!

"What the hell are we doing here?!" (Sarrina)

"Uh? Isn't that obvious? We did say dear was soon back no?" (Mysty)

Mysty just answered me like that with a look of wonder, as if she couldn't believe I still didn't understood that even after we got here... 

"Still... To go to such a place..." (Sarrina)

Hearing what I said the woman who was tending the store gave me a furious look but didn't said anything as we were customer.

"No choice! The first time dear saw my panty he looked disappointed. And I don't know what kind of underwear exist so I had to come here to study!" (Mysty)

"Worse for myself... My lord was so disappointed with my humble underwear he tore them apart."

Seriously what the hell?! They are crazy! 

Soon everyone started to rummage through the lingerie in the shop.

"Ooooh! There a hole here!" (Mysty)

Mysty was brandishing in the air a pair of panty with a hole a the bottom part like she was holding a treasure. How is that even underwear?! It cover nothing!

"Oh! It seem to be something of good quality! This texture is most pleasing to the touch. And it have a beautiful design." (Setsuna)

So embarrassing! Please finish quickly, please!!! And how are you even able to see anything Setsuna?!

"I think this would please him the most!" (Lucia)

Even Lucia joined the fray showing them a pair of garter-belt, making them raise a voice in wonder...

"Impressive lady Lucia!" (Setsuna) "Ohoh! It look good!" (Mysty)

It's just pure torture... Here I am, forced to wait for them to finish while wearing a weird coat and sunglasses in disguise, making me really suspicious in this shop... 

"I think we saw enough! Let's go!" (Mysty)

"Wait your not even going to buy anything?!" (Sarrina)

Even Lucia looked at them wondering why they didn't bought anything when they made it clear they needed new ones. And wait a minute, didn't Setsuna said Shun rip the one she had?! What is she wearing right now?!

"Don't worry! Everything we wear are made of mana so as long as we knew what it look like we can copy it! I had most of all, a problem to choose something to go with the nurse disguise Shun seemed to react to when asking him." (Mysty)

"Thou are too naive sister Mystyval! My lord reacted to the idea of thou disguising yourself! But did my lord ever said it was about a nurse?" (Setsuna)

"Wait a minute... How do you know that?!" (Mysty)

"Like myself said, thou are too naive! It took myself a lot of observation, but myself was able to see through my lord preference in cosplay!" (Setsuna)

Cos.. Cosplay? What is that? Is that about the disguise thing?

"It can't be! Even I was never able to make him say it!" (Mysty)

"Ufufufu! My lord preference is... Bunny-girls!" (Setsuna)

"No way! I can't believe I was defeated by Setsuna! It must be a lie!" (Mysty)

As she said that Mysty fell to her knee looking shocked. Was that, that much of a shock?! And I'm learning a little too much about Shun preference here! It's going to be awkward the next time I see him!

"So thou think! But myself saw it! When we walked through this city for the first time, there was this girl holding a sign to advertise a bar, as my lord saw her his heart skip a beat and he looked straight to the front after that, as quickly as he could as if he was afraid of being busted! As she wasn't a blade or my lord little sister it could only be about the Bunny-girl costume she was wearing!" (Setsuna)

This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

No, like I said aren't you supposed to be blind?! And sister?! He have a relationship like that with her?! Isn't she's still a kid?! That seriously too much information there!

"Impossible... How could I miss that! I'm a failure as a wife!" (Mysty)

"It's okay sister Mystyval! My lord is a tough customer it's no wonder thou were unable to perceive it, even myself had a hard time to 'see' it, it's no wonder you weren't able to." (Setsuna)

"Setsuna... Your right! I didn't lose anyway as I even better information about dear! I'm sure you don't know his favorite position!" (Mysty)

"Stoppp! Are you seriously going to continue this discussion here?!" (Sarrina)

I couldn't help but stop them as my embarrassment was reaching it's peak, we were in front of a suspicious lingerie shop in the red light district, and they just were talking about one of the most dangerous man in this kingdom fetish. It's to much for me! Everyone passing by was looking at us with a grin.

"Please don't stop this conversation Sarius! It's an honorable wife duel!" (Setsuna)

"Wait wait wait! Didn't you said there was something you needed to buy? Since you didn't buy anything here it must be something else right? Let's just go, okay?" (Sarrina)

Anyway it can't be something more embarrassing than a lingerie shop.

"Um! Thou are right Sarius, then let's go. Also my lord favorite position is doggy-style, when I enticed him on all four he became a real beast." (Setsuna)

GYAAAAAAA! STOP ALREADY!

As she said that Mysty fell once again on her knee and Lucia just looked at them with stars in her eyes as if it was the most interesting conversation she ever heard.

"You are fearsome rival Setsuna... To think you find that, when doing it a single time..." (Mysty)

But it's okay, it can't get more embarrassing from now on, let's just finish their shopping and go back home, I'm kinda exhausted now...

How wrong I was...

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE?!" (Sarrina)

Where the hell did they brought me?! They're are strange devices on the walls, bottles with a heart-mark on it containing a suspicious liquid, all kind of whips, and most of all there are strange full-body suits that only a pervert would wear! YES! It's that kind of shop!

"*Sigh* What is it Sarius?" (Setsuna)

"What do you mean 'What is it Sarius'?! Why the hell did we come here?!" (Sarrina)

"That's Setsuna hobby... But I must say this shop have some interesting items!" (Mysty)

Said Mysty, approaching one of the bottle while smirking. But hobby?! What is?!

"Hey there! Little miss what can I do for you?" (XShop Seller)

When Setsuna approached the counter, a burly man with an eye-patch came from the back of the store.

"Hello there good sir, myself would want to know if thou happen to have... *Whisper*" (Setsuna)

She whispered what she wanted to the seller ear and when he heard what she said, his eyes widened for a moment before his mouth made a wide grin.

"My word! You sure know your deal young lady! Well their not a lot of lady as dedicated as you around those part, let me look in my stock, if your lucky I maybe have one still there, wait a minute." (Xshop Seller)

After saying that the merchant who look more like a blacksmith than someone in this business, returned to the back of the shop, and Mysty ran to Setsuna and Lucia with one of those strange bottle.

"Look! Look! It's say that with this you can even make an impotent man into a beast!" (Mysty)

"That's dangerous! Myself don't think my lord would need that! Far from it, the last time, when he snapped myself thought myself would die!" (Setsuna)

"Uh? Tsk, tsk, tsk. You seriously lack vitality Setsuna! You only did for like 3 hours and you act like that? Our first time we did it for more that 6 hours! And I was still ready for more!" (Mysty)

6 HOURS?! And for their first time too?! Is he even human?! I seriously hope my husband won't have that much vitality! Even Lucia who loved to listen to their stories now had her jaw and eyes wide open from shock! But now that I think about it, last time when I heard them doing it, he did it for more time than that if you combine the time it took for the two of them...

"Don't compare myself to thou! Thou fool are the embodiment of lust!" (Setsuna)

As Mysty was putting back the bottle, looking a little regretful, the merchant reappeared holding some weird device... What could it be useful for? It was a single metal bar with four shackle made of leather attached to it... I think it's fine for me for not knowing that, for me, and my sanity...

"Here you go lady! It's an incredible high-grade item! With that you gonna have hours of fun!" (XShop Seller)

"Oh! Marvelous!" (Setsuna)

Or so said Setsuna while touching the device as if to verify it's quality.

"Hey... How do you use that?" (Mysty)

Setsuna whispered at Mysty ear the answer, so I wasn't able to hear it... Now i'm really curious.

"Oooohhh! That sound interesting! It's not as disgusting as the last thing you showed me." (Mysty)

"Umu. Myself will lend it to you sometime, but I be the first one to try it!" (Setsuna)

"Happy to see you are satisfied lady! Do you want me to pack it for you?" (XShop Seller)

"Yes please do so, also this person will pay." (Setsuna)

Or so she said will pointing at me...... 

"Wait?! I'm going to pay that?! Why would I?!" (Sarrina)

When I said that Setsuna looked at me really annoyed and almost pissed... Scary!

"What are thou saying? Of course thou are going to pay for it, neither of us have money, and it's the least thou could do when we protect thou without asking anything in return!" (Setsuna)

"Aren't you housed and fed?!" (Sarrina)

"That's Uncle Arllan who lodge and fed us, not thou." (Setsuna)

"Urg... Fine... I pay for it... But still why are you calling Arllan 'Uncle'?" (Sarrina)

"Yeah I wanted to ask that too..." (Lucia)

The one who answered us was not Setsuna but Mysty while looking at us in a daze as if we asked something obvious.

"What are you saying? If dear think of Uncle Arllan as an uncle isn't it's obvious we call him like that?" (Mysty)

Right... Now that I think about it, I did saw them call him like that, and the first time they did Arllan was really surprised but looked really happy as the same time...

"*Sigh* Anyway how much does 'this' cost?" (Sarrina)

As he was still packing the 'item' the shopkeeper looked back at me and answered.

"Well, since it's for a pretty lady, and thinking that she's going to use this is a reward in itself, I do you a discount, so... 25.000 Sol." (around 250$ if you don't remember the rate.)

If I were to drink something when he said that I would have seriously spitted it on him.

"*Cough* *Cough* Excuse me? Isn't that a little... Expensive? I mean it's just a metal bar with shackles..." (Sarrina)

When I said that, the seller just sighed while looking annoyed, saying something like 'that's why amateur are a pain...'

"What are thou saying Sarius? This gentleman did a good discount on it! Myself wouldn't have expected to pay a item of such fine quality this cheap!" (Setsuna)

Are you serious?...

"Ah! Now that's pleasing to hear! I'm happy to know their still some people with good ey... Uh, taste..."(XShop Seller)

The shopkeeper was going to say eyes but as Setsuna was blind he quickly changed to taste. 

And so after paying for it we finally 'escaped' for this district, while Setsuna hugged happily her 'package'. Please come back soon Shun, I'm going crazy here...

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 

"*Sigh* WHY ARE THEY ALL RUNNING AWAY?!" (Shun)

"As expected of the... Blood seeker! *Snicker* Even monster run away from you!" (Elivera)

"Papa, the best!" (Wyndy)

...

"He sure is!" Unable to resist, I cuddled that cute little creature who have the strange ability to make me calm with a simple sentence, even as I am so enraged I almost want to kill Elivera...

We departed since more than a week ago, and a lot happened in this last week... 

First we were attacked by bandits only one day after leaving, well it was expected... Since there was no guard and our carriage looked suspicious as hell the surely thought it would make a good target, and as I was really happy to see some action in this boring travel... They ran away when they saw me...

"It's the blood seeker! Run away before he eat your guts!" (Bandit)

And that's how Elivera learned of my ridiculous nickname... After that, some famous swordsman wanted to duel me because of my reputation as the best swordsman on the land... Yeah well, I explain that latter.

Since he wanted to duel me of course I accepted it, and... Beat the crap out of him while using some cheap sword... Since Wyndy was looking I couldn't really rip him to piece in front of her... It seem she was also really impressed with me when I beat him this easily, Elivera was also impressed but for another reason. It seem that's guy was one of the most well know swordsman in the continent... How sad...

But it didn't stop here, after that, mercenaries, prime hunters, ad other famous swordsmen attacked us, but it wasn't really fun as I was unable to kill them and they all were weak as hell... How did I became this well know?! Bandits ran away, a lot of people came after my ass, and the most surprising of all... Even monsters were running away! What the hell?! Why?! We were attacked a lot by monsters and it was pretty common in this world... But when they saw me they run away while crying... Well that could been explained by aura or something at least, maybe they were able to sense that I was much too strong for them... But what about all those guys after me for glory or money?!

That's when we crossed path with one of Arllan scout, who came to us to get a report of how it  was going with Elivera, and was pretty happy to see I succeeded to brought her to our side. But when I mentioned that weirdly a lot of guys came after me, his face paled for a moment, it was so short I almost missed it, but sadly for him I saw it... And after threatening him a 'little' , well I just told him I was going to eat him if he didn't talk... It was pretty effective and he talked immediately almost begging for his life...

It was all this bastard Arllan fault... I know I said I didn't want to hear sorry out of his mouth, but still to use me like that, that bastard have some serious balls...

If you want the details, this bastard sent his men around the kingdom to circulate rumors about me, and that's how rumors of Shun Fenrik, the Blood Seeker, came around. Things about him being the strongest swordsman in the continent who was able to dominate two cursed blades and is a monster who eat human flesh, and happen to work for the second prince.

This guy used those rumors not only to send the attention of prime hunters and assassins my way, but also to frighten the second prince enemies and also his ally as to persuade them to not betray him if they don't want to make an enemy out of me...

What am I supposed to be?! A monster under the bed?!

Anyway because of all this we advanced at a slower pace that we should... At this rate I'm going to be back later than I promised and Setsuna and Mysty gonna be really pissed at me...

And...

"Prepare yourself Blood seeker!" (Random Swordsman)

NOT AGAIN!
