While Nichi and Carver were having a duel...
"So mom how did you and dad meet?" Hatsu asked.
"Your dad was suddenly teleported here one day. He was going through something at the time but he still smiled. Your father was so pushy. Right from the start, he told me how he felt about me but at the time I was with somebody else. This somebody else is the same person that tried to kill you and Nichi as babies."
"What!? You were married to a guy like that!?" Hatsu looked a little disappointed.
"I didn't know that he was like that! We ended up breaking up because I caught him cheating. Then I ended up with your father."
"Looks like you have a thing for crazy guys."
"What!? No, I don't!"
"Mom, You married a baby killer then you got with dad and there is no way you're convincing me he is not crazy!" Hatsu was right and Liz knew.
"It's not like I go after crazy..." Liz couldn't even defend herself.
"I guess. I'll be sure to let no man mistreat me. But I won't reject every man either. At the end of the day, everybody is their own person." Hatsu smiled a little.
"I-im so proud! My little girl is grown up so well!" Elizabeth hugged Hatsu tightened.
"M-mom...I can't breathe..." Hatsu couldn't even get away.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Liz loosened her grip but kept hugging her. The hug felt gentle now and warm. Hatsu hugged her back and smiled. Hatsu was so relaxed she ended up falling back to sleep.
Liz laid Hatsu down on her lap and rubbed her head.
"My strong young woman." Elizabeth smiled as bright as the sun but as gentle as a feather.
After a little bit, Hatsu woke up and Elizabeth was humming a song still patting. Hatsu didn't move, she just kept laying there. Until the song was over. Then Hatsu sat up and stretched. After that Nichi and Carver popped up right in front of her face.
A year and some months after that...
Nichi and Hatsu were just waking up in their new beds. The sun was bright, the morning air was fresh, it was peaceful. Then suddenly Carver and Liz bust into their room.
"Happy birthday!" They both shouted at the same time.
It surprised both Nichi and Hatsu.
"Thank you, guys. So what training are we doing today?" Hatsu asked.
"What are you talking about? We never train you guys on your birthdays. But if you want to then I gue-"
"No, we're fine! So what are we doing today?" Hatsu jumped out of bed.
"Well get dressed first then we'll tell you," Carver said then he walked out.
After they were done changing. No, they did not change at the same time. They started eating breakfast.
"So what are we doing today?" Nichi asked.
"Well, Nichi Hatsu what do you want to do?" Liz asked.
"What do we want to do? I want some more of that "manga" dad gave me." He's talking about very cultured manga.
"You've become a man of culture son. I'm so proud!" Carver thought to himself.
"I can get you more Nichi." Carver had a calm smile on the outside but on the inside, he was jumping in joy.
"Can I get some drawing materials?" Hatsu asked.
They ended up going shopping and spent the whole day together laughing and having fun. People would come over to them and say happy birthday. After that, they all went up to the top of the cave as the sunset and made a pink sky.
"Nichi Hatsu me and your mom have something to tell you." Carver got their attention.
"We decided to send you 2 to school. A school outside the forest."
"What really!?" Nichi and Hatsu said at the same time.
"Yeah. We want you to go have a proper school life. With friends and people that you, later on, can call your brothers or sisters."
"I've always wanted to go outside! All the nice girls!" Nichi looked hyped.
"That's my boy!" Carver let his emotions slip out. He calmed down and cleared his throat.
"Look, Your mother is royalty. And she treats everybody as her equal. And the people do the same. On the outside, there will be people that see royalties and stats as everything. Don't fall for that shit everybody in this world is equal rather they are treated that way or not. So don't let anybody bitch you and don't bitch people that are weaker and need help." Carver sounded serious.
"And when things seem hopeless and everything is dark, be the spark that everybody needs to see and move forward. And when you feel like you have lost everything worth living for, reach inside and think what is your purpose. And if you don't find one that means you will be ok because you don't need a purpose to live or be happy. You don't need a purpose to be who you are. Just live because it's what you want. Just be happy because that's what you want. You don't need a purpose or reason to want to live. And if you do find a purpose follow it be never let it consume you." As Liz talked they listened closely.
"Basically do what you want. Everything is a choice. We tell you these words to guide you but it's all about what you want in the end. No matter what there is always a choice. But if something bad happens don't let guilt consume you. Now hold out your hands." Carver said as he pulled 2 rings out of his pocket and handed them to Nichi and Hatsu.
"A week from now we will leave. You will not only be leaving here as our son and daughter but Heavenly demons as well." Carver said as they put on their rings.
"This is my gift to you." Carver smiled.
Nichi and Hatsu had read the manga that Carver made on Toyomo. So they knew how much this meant.
Nichi and Hatsu felt proud.
"We will wear these with pride!" Nichi put his fist up to his heart.
"And Love!" Hatsu did the same.
Liz and Carver smiled then put their fists on their heart as well as the stars came into the sky.
"I know you both are only 15 but I'm definitely getting you both drunk tonight!" Carver grabbed Nichi and Hatsu and jumped off the cave with a big smile.
And they don't really have laws on when you can drink here in the elf world. Elizabeth smiled and followed.
Carver went home and pulled out a bottle of liquor.
"Alright Nichi and Hatsu you both should have a high liquor tolerance because me, my brother and my dad all did so drink until you can barely stand!" Carver poured them full cups and Liz got some too. 20 cups later...
"Bade! Why ArE Manga Tidties so GREAT!" Liz was drunk.
"Liz Even the gods don't have that answer!" Carver was drinking his own bottle that was as powerful as what Toyomo drank back at that club. So yes he was fucking wasted.
"Manga tidies! They Sale Rule thE World!!" Carver wrapped his arm around Liz's shoulder.
"YEAH!" Liz yelled then they started singing a song about Manga Tidies.
"Butt's are bettwr! You people are dumb!!" Hatsu yelled at them.
"Hatsu your right they are better! But anime Tidies are great too!" Carver said.
"Cheers to thaT!" Liz said, raising up her cup.
"Thighs for Life!" Nichi yelled.
"Hell yeah!!" they all yelled at the same time.
Welp, they drank all night and slept all day. So 2 days later...
They were back on the training grounds.
"Alright, so we've taught you 2 a lot about hand to hand combat. So now we're going to grind this weak to teach you all we can about weapons. You ready!?" Carver was getting them hyped.
Nichi, Hatsu, and Liz matched his vibe.
"Let's do this shit!" Nichi was no longer that super calm boy. He became a little bit of a pervert. And a leader.
"I'm ready!" Hatsu was more determined than ever. And didn't flinch in the face of fear.
"Alright then!" Liz pulled out her sword.
"Begin!" Carver yelled then Liz rushed at them. They trained them for 15 hours for the rest of the days. Teaching them a lot. Kicking the shit out of them also. But they learned either way.
And the day came when it was time for them to leave.
"Alright I've told all the guards I am leaving and I won't be back for a while," Liz said, putting on some leather boots, some black legions and a blue jean jacket, and a black shirt.
"Alright good." Carver put on a black-red shirt and his pants were black with red straps. Mans was looking clean.
"I'm about to get lit with some females at that school." Nichi had on an American army jacket with a black and gold color shirt under it and some black pants with ripples in them.
"I wonder what type of art they'll have!" Hatsu had on black legions with a white stripe going up it and a purple shirt that was a little tight.
Carver made the clothes himself. And In my opinion, they was flexin
"Alright, everybody ready!" Carver asked.
"Hell yeah!" They all yelled.
They left out the house and Carver leads them to the tree that teleports them back to the human world.
"Let's do this!" Carver said then open the portal then jumped through and they followed.
"Alright welcome to the human world!" Carver said, smiling.
"From I remember from Dad's book. We need to head this way." Carver started walking and they followed.
"I'm hyped!" Nichi had a big smile so did Hatsu.
And so they started their journey to The school. They walked for miles and miles. It's pretty boring. They traveled for 3 day. Then they finally arrived at the same town Toyomo and his group came to after the lost forest.
"This place is huge!" Everybody besides Carver was in shock. Liz never left the lost forest before either.
They walked into the middle of town where there was a fountain.
"Wooah." Hatsu gazed at the fountain intensely.
"Alright everybody, here's some money, spend it wisely. Go explore and meet back here by sundown." Carver said, handing them money.
"Right!" They all said then they all took off in their own directions.
"I wonder if they got manga somewhere. This place looks cool." Nichi stopped in front of a Bounty house. He walked inside and looked around.
"Do you need something?" The man behind the counter asked.
"What is this place?" Nichi asked.
"Well, this is a bounty house. You get bounties and drink."
"Ooh. So this is the place grandpa got his money from."
"Your grandpa is a Bounty hunter?" The man asked.
"Yeah, An S rank. He spoke about these places as if they were his family. I guess bounty hunting is our blood."
"Wait! Your grandpa is an S rank!?"
"Yeah. One of the best. Well used to be."
"What happened?"
"He died to protect his loved ones."
"Oh, sorry for your loss." The man titled his head to pay his respects.
"It's alright. He lived a long life. I didn't know him but my dad did."
"I see."
Suddenly a man bumped into Nichi.
"Oh sorry about that man." The guy didn't seem like a bad dude though.
Nichi stood in front of the door.
"You think I'm stupid. Give me my money back. That's my manga money." Nichi held out his hand.
"W-what are you talking about!?" The dude switched up fast and he started to sweat.
"I saw you take it as well. Give it back. The man behind the counter has a piercing stare.
The man smacked his lip then handed the money back.
"Thank you." Nichi smiled.
The man hurried up and ran out.
"I see you're slick with your hands as well." The man behind the counter smiled.
"He took my money so I took all of his." Nichi chuckled a bit and sat down at the counter.
"So where are you from?" The man asked.
"That's a little complicated. But you seem cool, what's your story?"
"Well..."
Meanwhile, Hatsu found a shop with a lot of paintings.
"Wow, these are beautiful..." Hatsu walked around the shop.
"Thank you I made them myself." A woman was sitting behind the counter.
"You're incredible. Wow, look at this one! and this one!" It was safe to say Hatsu was enjoying herself.
"Hey, so why did you start painting?" Hatsu asked the woman.
"...It was because of the love of my life. He came into my shop one day. And we would talk for hours. We ended up never asking each other out. He had a girl already. But he made me fall in love. Back then I didn't paint much, And the shop wasn't an art shop." Meanwhile the story Nichi was listening to.
"I showed up in this girl shop one day and me and her hit it off. At the time I already had a girl. But I really liked this girl I just met but one day she asked me out and I turned her down and told her I had a girl. She understood. One day I caught my girl cheating. I was depressed and upset about what I passed up just to be cheated on." The man behind the counter looked sad.
"Well is her shop still around here?" Nichi asked.
"Yeah I see her out and about but I can never hold a conversation with her."
"Does she know that you broke up with your girl?"
"I never told her so she doesn't."
"What!? For real!? What the hell are you doing!? We got to see her right now." Nichi stood up.
"I can't, I'm working." The man shook his head no.
"Ummm. You! Watch this place while he's gone if you don't I'll kill you!" Nichi pointed at the strongest person there. He just smiles and nods.
Nichi ran behind the counter and grabbed his hand and dragged him out.
"Which way to her shop?" Nichi asked.
Meanwhile in the art shop.
"So you see each other but you barely talk? And You still love him? How long has it been since you and him had fun, like back then?" Hatsu asked.
"It's been some years. I do miss him though. I wish I could tell him how I feel just one more time. But I don't want to hurt again..." Suddenly they started hearing a noise outside the door.
"Just go inside!" A voice said then the door swung open and Nichi and the man from behind the counter were standing there.
"Travis?" The woman behind the counter looked shocked.
"Hey, Seala." Travis stood there for a minute then Nichi slapped his back and made him go in.
"Hey, so Seala. I know we haven't talked in a long time. But I've been really wanting to talk to you about something." Travis took a deep breath.
"Those years ago when you asked me out. I've regretted saying no. I know it's been a while but I feel like I mine as well get this off my chest. Look I still like you as I did all those years ago." Seala sat there for a minute and looked at Hatsu. Hatsu just gave her a thumbs up and smiled.
"Travis...I still feel the same way." Seala smiled.
Hatsu went and stood by Nichi.
"So what was his side of the story and I'll tell you hers." Hatsu leaned over and whispered. Nichi explained to him then she explained hers.
After that Hatsu and Nichi just looked at each other with disappointment.
"Thank you guys so much for bringing us together." Travis looked happy.
"Hold on!" Nichi stopped him.
"So this whole thing happened because Travis was too scared to talk to Seala. And because of that he never told her about his break up with his girl. And Seala got reject so she never asked him out again because she was too scared." Nichi looked a little mad.
"Yeah, I guess," Travis said smiling.
"...Well hope you guys are happy we're gonna head out." Nichi walked out and Hatsu followed.
"...What type of cliche bullshit was that!?" Nichi was mad.
"I know right! All they had to do was talk to each other and they were on some bullshit!" Hatsu was also disappointed.
While they were walking some guys surrounded them.
"Hey, where you kids going?" These dudes had a bad vibe.
"Somewhere. Why?" Nichi wasn't too happy about being surrounded.
"Oh! Are you her boyfriend?" a GROWN MAN with long hair asked."
"No this is my brother. You guys are weird, could you leave us alone?" Hatsu asked nicely.
"Your pretty brave little girl. I like that. Come with me and me and my boys can show you a good time." The long hair dude put his hand on Hatsu's shoulder.
"You guys are pretty brave to do something like this in the middle of the day." Nichi was slowly getting pissed.
"My dad is royalty. I don't really have punishments." Remember to give your kid ass whooping.
"So you have never been whooped before?" Nichi asked.
"Nope." As he said that he pulled Hatsu closer.
Before the long hair man even noticed Nichi's fist connected to his face and the punches sent the man soaring through the air. Hatsu quickly knocked out the rest of the guys.
"Welp these guys are super weak. Run there pockets and let's go." Nichi said cracking his knuckles.
"Yeah." Hatsu dusted herself off then they took what they had and left and sold it and made a lot more money. All the people watching saw them get beat by 15-year-olds.
After a little Nichi found a shop that had manga and he ended up just reading what he could while he was there and Hatsu did some cosplay. Anyway, it came time for them to meet back in the middle. Nichi and Hatsu made it first and chilled by the fountain as the sun went down.
"There they are!" The man with long hair showed up with even more people and a huge bruise on his left cheek. He had about 30 people.
"This guy again? He is really annoying." Hatsu rested her head on her knee.
"Da hell do you want?" Nichi didn't even flinch at all the people.
"Why you! You messed up my face! Now we're going to mess you up!"
Nichi stood up.
"Hatsu do you mind?" Nichi asked.
"They're all yours," Hatsu said leaning back, closing her eyes.
"Alright, you long brown hair rat you came with smoke? Guess I'm gonna have to come with heat." Nichi grinned and cracked his knuckles.
Nichi started walking toward them. One guy ran at Nichi and got knocked out so fast it looked like He just fell. Then Nichi picked up the guy by his hair.
"That was really stupid. Here take your man back." Nichi swung the man by his hair and it crashed into the group, then before they noticed Nichi was right in front of them and jumped and kicked the light out of somebody's eyes. Then a guy tried to punch him but he rolled off it and hit him with an uppercut. Then back kicked a man in the chin and knocked both of them out. Then he started punching everybody that ran up with one hit and was knocking him out. They surrounded him in a circle. 2 people tried to attack him at the same time. One from his right and one from behind. The guy from behind tried to kick him in the back and the guy on his right tried to punch him in the face. Nichi as if he was as light as a feather backflip onto the man behind him leg in a handstand position, and spun and kicked the man who was about to kick him in the face! Then he front flipped and kicked the guy who tried to punch him in the back of his leg and made him fall to his knee then Nichi kicked him so hard in the head blood came out of the man's nose and mouth.
"Screw fighting him with your hands! Fire your Iracuj at him!!" The long hair dude yelled.
They all put up their hands and shot fire, water, wind, and rock Iracuj at him. And he just stood there as a big explosion happened... Everything went silent.
"D-did we get him?" The long hair man said.
"hahaha...HAHAHAHA!!!" Suddenly they heard a laugh from the must and suddenly a huge windswept all the mist away.
It was Iracuj from Nichi. Completely untouched.
"Im-imposable!!" The long hair man yelled.
"That was cool but you all really suck at using Iracuj. Well time to end this." Nichi dropped his smile then in a nanosecond the rest of the people were knocked out except for the long-haired dude.
"W-what just happened?" The long hair dude looked around in disbelief.
"I just won. Now sleep, child." Nichi said appearing behind the long hair dude and chopped him in the back of the neck and knocked him out.
"Too easy." Nichi stepped on the bodies and sat back next to Hatsu.
A few minutes later.
"Looks like you guys had fun," Carver said, walking toward them with Liz.
"All of them are messed up pretty bad. So I assume they attacked you guys first?" Liz asked Nichi.
"Yeah. They were trying to show Hatsu a "Good time." So I beat the shit out of them twice."
"That's my boy! Anyway, our boat is about to leave so let's head out." Carver said walking by and tapping Hatsu awake.
"Let's do this." Nichi punched his fist together.
Congratulations
