Chapter 4: they just don't make rivals like they used to

“Lavy, ya going out? I'll come along you can help me workout how to make fire instead of just pushing and pulling things.”

“No.”

“Alright you don't have to teach me today. So what ya wanting us to do?”

“Hiro you used to play with Sara and Brig down the road you should go keep them company today they've been missing you and I'm doing some boring stuff that will in fact be a lot of sitting around waiting, you won't have to much fun doing that will you. So train or play with your old mates today, that ok. Cool”

“Cool?”

“Bye bye”

So I set off hopefully he won't follow, it wouldn't be easy to hide two people in a cart and I don't really want to explain my gift to him either.

Now I just need to hide in Davies cart, he'll go on his trip up the road he’ll be there by the end of the day and I'll «Planar Travel» home in time for supper. I've even brought snacks so I won't be tempted to eat away at Davies products.

Nothing could possibly, change the fact that I'm nearly using some of the most stupid phrases in the book really I'm not going to Jin…..that was a close one I nearly used the other stupid phrase, god damn plots stop trying to compel me down bad juju.

 At least wait until I workout if this world actually has juju in or not. I couldn't really tell, lore is one thing that is confused as fuck playing everything in weird parts of testing data and random versions of the same stuff.

But with my starter ability it's likely an attack will come, but of what kind will be the deciding factor on if I have made a nice bet or if I risked too much on a early trip hehe.

“Hey little lady what are you up to this morning off to go blow up some more scarecrows show them whose boss? Oh but not with Hiro today I thought he was trying to be a good influence on you.”

(That leach just wants to squeeze out all my info and then party up with a decent early dps.) 

“Nooo today I'm adventuring alone. I'm gonna see if I can learn to infiltrate.”

“Huh maybe he's been a bad influence she wanted to be a Mage type before now she's wanting to learn rogue skills. Well shouldn't bother any one, hmm I guess the best way to do that is hide and seek. After all seeking things while hiding is all infiltration really normally comes down to.”

“Ahm then I guess I'll try to practice and learn «Hide» first”

“Well off you go then. Go learn your «Hide» with the other kids. Well at least I can expect more quiet nights rather than the overly loud smashes and bangs of her magic training. Maybe this is good news. ”

Welp crap I didn't expect to be spotted by Davies before hiding in his cart. And why did I tell him I'm gonna try infiltration if he notices I'm not playing with the other kids I'm gonna have problems as he might check his cart before leaving… guess we go with his idea.

“hello boys and girls (crap I'm bad at communicating with these kids how do they talk to each other… What's the etiquette for them um let's just keep going I doubt they'll notice if I blag it up past them just keep talking…you haven't been talking this entire time you have been thinking this is bad real bad they must think I'm the weird kid in the world) WANNA PLAY HIDE AND SEEK?”

“…”

“…”

“No!”

(Ahh I didn't create a plan for that… Gods I'm bad at this let's throw a fireball and runaway) 

{Oh so she wanted to play with everyone not just me and she was giving me the heave ho because she wanted to instigate the request her self good girl but you should have relied on me. So now I will save you as your hero hehe add one Mage to my party yay me.}-Hiro POV

“I don't know we've played ball too much why not play hide and seek or after all no one knows her auto hide spots so one extra player will add that little spice to the dynamics of the game that made it boring to play of late.”

“Ehh well whatever it's been a while Hiro, so ok. But Hussy just don't go getting ideas of grandeur just because you are his new best friend, he'll be bore of you soon enough and then bam you won't even be in his party slots for adventures.”

I don't even know what to think to that, never mind say to it… is he perhaps jealous. You can have him random NPC boy?girl? Kid.

“Ok but she's it first…so count to 20 and then you can hunt”

Isn't it usually 10 oh well whatever I'll get this done with first . 

I have my mind link to the outer manna with my little web and use them as added feelers to keep some track of them and then search it could be done blindfolded actually that could be fun. 

Hehe kids all people have there own unique manner and all I have to do is read yours and follow them and then if I can't keep up simply let my web gather more outer manna for reaching and check for the life signs not doing work or traveling normally but hiding. 

Muhahaha.

Strangely enough her turn as it didn't last long though the magically sensitive started calling her a cheat though they were enjoying the concept of having magic games and practicing the trick themselves.

Now to just get into the barrel in Davies cart and cloak myself so no one uses. The trick to find me as I'm sure Brig wants to and the rest for that manner hehe.

[ho ho ho you think your little web is so smart as glided around and sought us and now your using that feeble attempt at «Hold» on the field manna’s positions while drifting your essence to mix around different spots clever but your still using lousy level 1 abilities ok ranks but your level 1 in other words a nothing.]

[ I'll teach you to choose your hiding spots more careful a trip out of town will do you good. All I have to do is «Paralyse» you in that barrel to shut you up and cover the barrels top with tarp and the carts blanket and boom bye bye silly know it all.]

***shhhcckk****

“This might be a bit shocking girl but your going on a little trip. Don't come back”

What the fuck did random kid just paralyse me…but I was going on the trip anyway! Now how am I going to hide myself from Davies?

Well I can just hope he doesn't look in this barrel hehe ah well at least I knows the kid thinks of me as an enemy or rival or whatever. Now to get Hiro to choose random kid rather than me for the trip to the first dungeon. Let them deal with it's problems.

Or not maybe I should focus on the adventure at hand.

Yosh on the road we go.
