Recap: hori is taking on 3 sinners of idolatry!
Hori: no I'm not!!!
Haruki: c'mon, I'll step in if I see your in trouble!
Hori:....fine
Hori dropped Haruki's luggage and slowly walked towards the damaged house.
Haruki:(the truth is i actually wanna see if she can recreate what happened during that time)
He was referring to the dark frame hori got when she caved that NPCs nose in.
Hori:...ehm.. hello there
She said frighteningly calling out to the sinners of idolatry.
Sinner of idolatry: for the wages of sin is deeeeeeaaaathhhh!!!!!!
Hori:*flinch*
Haruki:(she's scared)
Narrator: haven't you "fought"a sinner before?
Narrator was referring to the sinner of sloth hori encountered in chapter 2... she got her ass whooped.
Hori:(that was different, someone was in danger then!)
Sinner of idolatry: for the wages of sin is death.
*Fwoom!*
Haruki:(here they come!)
Hori:eeek!
Haruki: just try punching them!
One of the sinners jumps! About to strike hori from above.
Hori: just punch huh?!
*Dark frame*the backgrounds saturation reduces to zero leaving only the sinners of idolatry and hori with color.
Narrator:a dark frame is a term given to when a character is about to do something impressive.
Narrator: the backgrounds saturation reduces to zero leaving only the character and his/her opponent with color.
Haruki:aha!
*Splqshhh!!!*....as soon as hori's right fist landed on the sinners face, it's entire upper body was ripped to pieces.
*Plop*the lower half falls to the floor.
Haruki:(... woah)
Sinners of idolatry: for the wages of sin is death!
The remaining 2 sinners immediately run away after seeing such strength.
Haruki comes out from the bushes.
Hori:(... did I just do that?!)
Hori:(i knew i always had strong hands, but this strong?!)
Haruki: well done!
The sinner of idolatrys lower half was still twitching because it was still alive.
Hori:oh no,i couldn't finish it off!
Hori said with a remorseful face seeing the corpse still struggle in pain.
Haruki: don't worry.
He squats down and eats the corpse.
Haruki:*burp* i was correct!
Hori:huh?
Haruki: your hands aren't normal!
Hori: yes...i know... their strong.
Haruki:yh no shit, but it's not just ordinary strength.
Haruki: here, try punching my face!
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Hori: absolutely not!
Haruki: it's alright, I'm a sin so I can regenerate!
Hori:i would never hit you haruki san!
Haruki:ugh stop being such a pussy and just hit me!
Hori: pussy?...
Haruki: just do it!
Hori:...fine,if you wish.
Haruki:yh put your back into it!
Hori lean's back.
*Fwoom*
Narrator: when hori decides to inflict harm on an entity, her fists gain 3 properties.
Narrator:firstly her hands gain the hardness of 10 mohs, the equivalent to actual diamonds.
Narrator: secondly, because of such density, her fists also become EXTREMELY sharp, piercing through flesh muscle and bone as easily as a knife cutting cake.
Narrator: thirdly, also because of such density, her fists gain weight, around the weight of a medium sized bowling ball, increasing the destructive force of the punch.
Narrator: all the listed factors will end up completely CRUSHING Haruki's skull!
*Splat!*black blood stains the ground and Haruki's head is no longer visible.
*Plop*his headless body falls on the ground.
Hori:....*bleugrrrrhhheggg!!!!*
Hori throws up at seeing Haruki's brains scattered on the floor along side pieces of his skull.
Hori wipes her mouth.
Hori:(ok he should heal by now!)
Hori:(c'mon heal!)
*Splqshhh*Haruki's head slowly healed.... but he was still unconscious.
Hori:why isn't he conscious?!
Hori squats down to check his pulse.
Hori:(oh that's right, haruki san said sins have no pulse!)
Hori:...so what do I do now....
Hori:sits down besides Haruki's unconscious body on the ground.
Hori peeks at Haruki's face.
Hori:... he's so beautiful.
5 minutes pass and haruki is still unconscious.
Hori decides to carry their luggage in and bring haruki into the damaged house.
Haruki:*gasp!*
Hori:oh haruki san! Thank goodness! your finally awake!
Hori was laying Haruki's head on her lap,via a lap pillow.
Haruki:... it's night?!
Haruki slowly raised his head.
It truly was night time, haruki was unconscious for about 10 hours.
Hori hugs haruki from behind.
Hori: you should have told me you'd take time waking up!
Hori:i was so worried!
Haruki: yh... sorry about that...
Hori releases haruki.
Hori:*growl*
Her stomach exclaimed loudly!
Haruki:... wait, you haven't eaten?!
Haruki worriedly asked while turning on his flashlight and laying it down.
Hori:oh that's true,i carried your body inside and was with you ever since, so.... I'm really hungry...
Hori said with a lifeless face.
Haruki:oh my God you must be starving!! I'm so sorry!!
Hori: no, I should be the one to apologize haruki san,it must have been painful having your head blown apart.
Haruki: girl fuck that! let's get you something to eat!
Haruki: it's already late so let's just order pizza.
Hori:... pizza? is that a food?
Hori said innocently.
Haruki:nah it's more of a wait what?! you've never eaten pizza?!
Hori: I've never heard of it...
Haruki: that's just...sad...
Hori: father always cooked for me, so my meals were strictly healthy....
Haruki: well your gonna love this!
Haruki: I'm gonna order plenty since you eat A LOT!
Hori:(how shameless of me!)
Haruki makes the order.
Haruki: okay, until the pizza gets here, tell me about what happened.
Hori:...oh! you must be referring to the punch!
Hori: well,at first I completely blew apart your head, but it healed shortly after.
Haruki: shortly after?!then why did it take so long for me to wake up?!
Hori: I'm not sure, but narrator explained why my hands are so tough.
Haruki: narrator?!
Hori:oh it's some woman that keeps talking in my head.
Narrator: how rude!
Haruki:(hmmm the hunger must've gotten to her head)
Hori: anyway, she said my hands get, hard, sharp and heavy, equivalent to natural diamonds.
Haruki: woah, seriously?!
Hori: that is correct.
Haruki:i guess that explains everything.
Haruki: but wait a minute.
Haruki grabs hori's hands
Hori:*bluuuuuush!*
Haruki: your hands feel normal.
Hori:e..eh..ehmm, narrator also said it happens only when I want to inflict harm on something!
Hori said with a flustered face still seeing haruki hold her hands.
Hori:ehmm you could let go of my hands now, haruki san
Hori's face was red!
Haruki:huh... your getting embarrassed from just this?
Haruki teased hori.
Hori: th..th...there's nothing to get embarrassed from! it's not anything inappropriate now is it??!
Hori said he trying to avoid Haruki's gaze.
Pizza delivery:ehmm this the place right?
The pizza delivery guy peeked into the house with no front.it was smashed through in chapter 2.
Haruki let go of hori's hands.
Haruki:yo.
Hori: hello...
Pizza guy:uhhh I'm i interrupting something?
Haruki pays for the pizza.
Pizza guy: would you like to add a tip?
Haruki: maybe when cars fly, buh-byyyye.
Hori:(what is this smellll??!??)
Haruki waves and brings the pizza inside.
Hori leans in closer as haruki arranges the food.
Haruki: now I know you're hungry but try not to rush it and choke okay?!
Hori: dear God, thank you for the food.
Haruki:(God?! I'm the nigga who paid for it!)
Hori opens the packaging,hsr mouth utterly salivating.
Hori carries a slice, and touches it with the tip of her tounge.
*Tiiiiiiiiiing*
Something snapped,it was simply delicious.
2 minutes later.
Hori: ughhhhh my tummy hurts haruki san!!!
Haruki:then you should have freaking stopped eating!
Haruki: what kinda anime ass character eats 10 packs of pizza under 2 minutes?!
Hori:*buuuuurp*
Hori:ahhhh i feel much better!
Hori stands up and her stomach is flat again.
Haruki: wait what?
Hori:oh i have really fast metabolism haruki san!
Haruki:...yh whatever, there's something you should know,hori
Hori: what is it?
Haruki: you can't fight with those hands.
Hori:huh?
Haruki: I'm no expert like you, but I'm sure the Sabbath exams has a tournament section, where applicants will face each other.
Haruki:in other words a cage fight.
Hori: yes that is correct, although only members of SHO are allowed to watch the Sabbath exams,it should have a tournament section us civilians might not be aware of!
Haruki: so if you use those hands against ordinary people, THEY'LL DIE
Hori:i would never wish for that to happen!
Haruki:(yh it's a lil too late for that, that guy that she punched died shortly after getting rushed to the hospital, her hands are just too dangerous!)
Hori:then in that case, I'll fight without my hands!
Haruki: figured you'd say that!
Haruki:then from tomorrow, I'll start teaching you fighting styles that don't involve using your hands!
Hori:sir yes sir!
Haruki: now let's get some sleep, tomorrows a busy day.
Hori:... haruki, thank you for what this time.
Hori: for everything thing you've done for me so far.
Hori said honestly bowing her head as low as possible.
Haruki:(...at first,i only took her in because i was EXTREMELY bored with my life)
Haruki:(killing people, ignoring moms calls, sleeping, I did it so many times i lost count)
Haruki:(but since she came, I've been a little bit happier, not overwhelming joy, but I'm definitely happier)
Haruki:...i should be the one thanking you hori.
Haruki: so raise your head already.
Haruki brings out a futon and spreads it on the floor.
Hori:( there's only one futon!!!)
Hori: well I'll be sleeping outside, please excuse me-
Haruki: no you don't!
He drags hori back.
Haruki brings out some pillows.
Haruki: you'll catch a cold if you sleep outside.
Haruki:(man the way she's so humble and considerate makes me wonder if she's actually a rich mans kid!)
Haruki lays down on the futon.
Haruki: now get over here!
He said patting his side of the futon.
Hori:.....then, please excuse me
She slowly lies down trying to be as far away from haruki as possible.
Haruki:*giggles*
Haruki:(she's so innocent it's adorable!)
Hori: good night haruki san.
Haruki: good night hori.
Haruki scrolls down his phone and sees some missed calls from his mom, he ignores it and switches off his torch light.
Some time passes by when he notices hori shivering from cold, she was too far from the bed sheets and the front wall was broken down allowing breeze to directly enter.
Haruki shuffled closer to her facing opposite sides.
Hori:Haruki san?
Haruki:... you looked cold, so I'll warm you up with my back.
Hori:oh...
Hori:...i hope I don't smell.
Haruki: stop being ridiculous.
Hori:....i noticed some missed calls on your phone from your mother.
Haruki:....huh
Hori
:i know it's non of my business but I think she must be worried about you.
Haruki:if it's non of your business then stop fucking talking.
Haruki cut her off with an irritated expression.
Hori:....my apologies....
Hori shuts up and tries to ignore the atmosphere and sleep.
Narrator: awkwaaaaard!!!!!
Hori:(shut it!)
Some time passes by and they finally sleep.
SEVEN DAYS UNTIL THE SABBATH EXAMS
