Well, turns out our new house is actually very far away from the guild, and its already night so we will only be able to arrive there tomorrow.
We're currently walking in the streets of Beatitudo, while the sky is completely dark.
I'm walking with Sayuri on my side, were both just walking normally, in these completely empty streets.
She then, simply stops and looks at me while pointing at her right side.
"Hey uh, this is the forest, let's go this way, it is a shortcut to get to the location of the house."
I yawned, being quite tired.
"Uahhhhh.... Im so tired, yeah lets go and sleep in the sleeping beds."
She frowned.
"Ah? Didn't you hear me?! I said we're going to take a shortcut!"
"What?! Do you plan to keep walking during night?!"
"Yeah, let's just keep walking, so we'll probably arrive early in the morning."
"NO WAY!! I need to sleep at night!"
Sayuri and I started arguing.
"Why? We can sleep when we arrive it's no big deal."
I moved even closer to her, quite angry.
"We should sleep now and walk during the day!! That's healthy!"
She was also quite irritated.
"But we need to arrive as fast as possible! Plus, im your boss, so you bett-"
"AH NO WAY!!"
We gritted our teeth, face to face.
At the same moment, we turned ours around and screamed at the same time
"AMARI!! WHO'S RIGHT!?"
"AMARI!! WHO IS RIGHT?!"
We were looking at Amari.
She... she was sad, head down and depressed, almost dragging herself along the floor.
"5-5 finger ring... 5 finger ring... 5 finger ring..."
She just kept saying those words over and over again, without even looking at us, looking hypnotized on the floor.
I don't think she even knows that we're actually shouting her name.
Sayuri and I looked at her for a second, trying to understand whats going on with her.
Wait a second... 5 fingers... 5 fingers!
"Ha! She is saying 5 fingers, and I have 5 fingers on my right hand!! That means she agrees with me!!"
Sayuri didn't seem to agree with me very much.
"W-What!? WHAT A STUPID ARGUMENT IS THAT!? I CAN LITERALLY SAY THE SAME!!"
Oh damn, she got me.
"Augh, fair... I SAID IT FIRST!!"
"THIS CHANGES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!"
So we continued in a fight of arguments that lasted for a while, until Sayuri had an interesting idea.
"Well, you kno what?! OK! We can sleep in the sleeping begs..."
I opened a wide smile, ready to celebrate, but before I could speak, she spoke first.
"Buuuuuuuuuuut..."
She gave me an evil smile, which gave me sincere fear and nervousness.
"YOU WILL HAVE TO LET ME CHOOSE THE NAME OF YOUR MOST POWERFUL ATTACK!!!
This definitely took me by surprise, it was a request I really wasn't expecting.
It even made me stutter a little.
"H-HUH?! Y-You want to name my most powerful attack... Why?!"
In a very epic and serious pose, pointing her staff upwards, and speaking very loudly and confidently, she said.
"I, Sayuri, the coolest wizard, and the one who will become the greatest wizard in the world, will choose the name of the strongest attack of the man who will be the Emperor of the World, the attack that will defeat the final villain!!.. Isn't that something I should want!? and the name you give to your attacks sucks..."
She pointed the staff at me at the end.
She definitely wasn't being ironic, in fact she was speaking in a very aggressive and even proud way.
It sounded more like a threat than anything else, honestly.
She somehow managed to say all this without blushing even a little.
"A-And what it would be?..."
She took a deep breath, trying to maintain the same posture, but was unable to not turn pink slightly.
"Katchaboom."
"OH HELL NAH-"
But then suddenly, i heard a few steps behind me.
Wait, actually its not a few, its a lot!
I slowly turned my back, only to face whoever was walking towards us.
"Who's there..."
I said, looking at some weird fellas.
They were 3 people, 2 guys and a girl.
"So uh, how do I say this... this is a robbery."
They all had something in common, they wore raccoon masks on their faces, and- WAIT A SECOND!
The girl, she was very small, young, perhaps a child, wearing a black hood, and had green hair...
WAIT A SECOND!
"SAYURI, IS THIS YOU SISTE-"
No no wait, that's not it... I've seen her somewhere... Where?...
But before Sayuri could say anything, or I could remember her, she said it herself.
"Oh wait, you're the guy I stole the sweets yesterday!"
"OHHHHHHH!! THAT'S YOU!!"
I remember now, the moment I arrived at this world, she simply stole my sweets, but...
I pointed a finger at her and started laughing.
"HAHAHA! I ATE EVERYTHING!! YOU DIDN'T STEAL ANYTHING FROM ME!! HAHAHA!"
The girl instantly replied, even though I can't see her face because of the raccoon mask, I'm sure she didn't expect me to say that.
"W-What? Do you think i care? If only there was money or something, but there was only candy!"
I kept laughing.
"Hahaha! I literally ate everything in front of you, without anything you could do! Hahahaha!"
She simply crossed her arms and sighed at the side, i think she was quite pissed.
"Yeah yeah, whatever..."
But while I was laughing at this looser, Sayuri grabbed me by the neck gaiter to make me bend down, so she could whisper in my ear.
"You don't know who this guys are?... Of course not... They are the "Racoon Killers", a group of very famous thieves in Beatitudo..."
So i looked at their faces, and ohhhhhh, thats why they use the racoon masks...
"What a foolish name."
Sayuri herself yelled at me.
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!"
The one I presume to be their leader, since he was in the middle and was blond, pointed a finger at me.
"I said, this is an assault!! You two give us everything of value that you have with you!!"
Sayuri whispered on my ear.
"Don't worry, let me take care of this, i know how to deal with them..."
So she turned to them.
She took a deep breath, holding her staff, and-
"KATCHA-"
Before she could finish, o "Racoon Killer" what was left, the brown-haired boy on the right, said.
"Wait, boss!..."
Sayuri also stopped.
She gave a proud and arrogant smile, feeling like the one.
"Oh, so youre afraid?... I didn't know that the name Katchau had become popular throughout the city... You've already identified me, right?! Yes, Indeed, the cool, the big-, the cool wizard, Sayuri, the one who's going to become the greatest wizard in the wo-"
"Boss, they are just kids."
This speech from the brown-haired man, simply ignoring her and looking at his boss, made Sayuri feel shocked.
"Oh you're right... But how many times i will have to say this... WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT AGE!!"
The boss then took out a dagger, and pointed it at us.
"So, I repeat for the last time!... THIS IS A ROBBERY, GIVE ME ALL THE VALUABLE THINGS YOU HAVE!!... That lady over there please too..."
He mentioned Amari, who was behind us, sprawled on the floor, just mumbling "5 finger ring" over and over.
Sayuri was still in shock, the anger hadn't yet had time to take control of her body.
Lol, they really called her a kid during her proud speech... Wait... they said K-I-D-S?! S!? T-THEY MENTION ME TOO?!
Small black rays appeared around my fists as i activated Sankalpa on them.
"OK SAYURI! LETS TELL THIS GUYS A THING!!"
Sayuri quickly grabbed her staff and adjusted her hat, composing herself and ready for battle.
"YEAH!! I WILL BURN THEM!!!"
The 3 thiefs didn't show any reaction, they didn't seem nervous (or I just can't see it because of the raccoon mask.)
The boss lowered his dagger, and said assertively.
"Brown-haired guy!!"
"Yes boss."
The brown-haired guy, simply pointed his hand at us.
"Gurandosefuto!"
And just like that... nothing happened.
I looked confused at Sayuri.
"Hm... you hurt?"
She said no with her head.
I looked around, there was nothing strange either.
I don't understand what he did.
But then suddenly, Sayuri said.
"H-Hey... why my legs are cold-"
She then looked at the Racoon's, and instantly got a lot blushed, putting your hand in the middle of her skirt.
"A-AHHHH!!!! H-HE STOLE MY UN-..."
I looked at the hand of that brown-haired thief, and there was a strange yellow fabric object there, something I had never seen in my entire life. It was small, he could hold it in his hands, but it looked like a net. Do they use that to catch butterflies? But it seems to be very small and with holes on the sides, so they can easily escape!
Could it be a small bag then? Oh yeah, the holes are for you to hold on to! No but wait, it's too small, is it a bag that you can only hold with your fingers? What is that thing!?
The boss looked at the brown-haired dude, and instantly yelled.
"Y-YOU PERVERT!! WHY WOULD YOU STOLE THAT?!"
The brown-haired guy seemed kinda desperate and stuttering a lot, holding that yellow thing in his hand.
"N-NO!! Gurandosefuto only steals the MOST EXPENSIVE THING THE PERSON HAS!!"
The boos talked slowly.
"S-So youre telling me that the most expensive thing that girl has is her..."
He looked at Sayuri, she was extremely red, holding her skirt and looking at the ground besides me.
"G-Give it back..."
Wait, that means that thing belongs to Sayuri? What is she buying with it?!
The brown-haired guy simply tossed her the object, which she quickly tucked into a pocket of her dark yellow dress.
The 3 thieves simply turned their backs, and the boss said.
"Well, as a married man, I apologize, we will not steal you anymore... And honestly, if that's your most expensive thing, you're either extremely poor or extremely rich, but I honestly don't care anymore..."
They turned back and started to walk away.
I looked at Sayuri, she didn't look back at me, so I looked at the robbers.
"Hm wait, an expensive house?... We actually have a house now!!"
Sayuri quickly yelled at me.
"W-WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!"
The 3 thieves immediately stopped and turned to us.
The green-haired girl said coldly.
"Oh, did you hear boss?..."
"Yes, i did..."
We all looked at each other in great silence.
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? GIVE US THE DIRECTIONS!!"
"Oh, hm well... It's quite far, and we are just following a ma-"
"3 RINGS..."
Suddenly, 3 thin, gray iron chains came from behind me at an impressive speed and tied up them 3.
"W-WHAT IS TH-"
I quickly looked back, there was Amari, with her right hand open and pointing forward.
From her thumb, index and middle finger, the chain of the ring on that fingers had stretched out and was the one holding them.
"Mooring..."
Sayuri and I quickly ducked, as grabbing the arm with the other hand, Amari simply began to spin around, over and over again, the same effect applied to the raccoons tied by the chains, but much greater because they were spinning around the circumference of a circle.
"WHIP!!!"
With a final twist, she undid the restraints as she launched them, and sent the 3 thieves flying at incredible speed into the sky.
"AHHHHH!! W-WE WILL COME BACK!!!"
So, they disappeared in the sky.
The 3 chains quickly returned, returning to Amari's right hand, bring back to being just a normal finger ring.
She looked at her hand, quite impressed.
"Hm well... This may not be that bad..."
Sayuri and I were in shock, looking at Amari.
"W-WHAT WAS THAT?!"
I said, running in her direction very interested.
"Oh? Well, i simply created my Sisu!!"
"Oh really?... I thought you were crying on the floor this whole ti-"
Amari quickly shouted back, a bit embarrassed.
"I-I WASN'T... O-OK, maybe a bit in the beginning, an-, B-BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THIS RING, AND I DISCOVERED HOW USEFUL IT CAN BE TO ME!!!"
"OH WOW!! AND WHAT IT IS!?"
"I decided to call my Sisu: 5 Rings of Power."
Sayuri said quietly.
"Not cool."
"S-SHUT UP!! I-I'M MORE FOCUSED ON HOW TO MAKE IT STRONG THAN ON GIVING IT GOOD NAMES!!!"
She calmed down, as apparently Sayuri just didn't had enough strength to keep teasing her.
"So... Wanna guess what it does?"
I quickly put a finger up, jumping.
"OH, ME ME ME!... Well let me see... YOU CAN STRETCH THE CHAINS!!"
Amari laughed a bit.
"Haha, no... That would be very simple to me, you know, im smart as hell."
I started to think even further, the best i could.
"Hm... You... you... you... YOU CAN STRETCH IT, BUT EVEN BETTER-"
Amari quickly interrupted me.
"Ok shut up. So..."
She showed us the ring.
"My Sisu, 5 Rings of Power, actually does the following: Grants individual fixed properties to each of the rings and their chain!"
I honestly didn't understand very well, but it looks cool!
"S-So like uh... Each one has their own power?"
"Yeah kinda like th-... Actually no, even though I did that my Sisu, my thumb, index and middle finger rings, just stretch out and I can kind of control them..."
"Wow that... thats cool!!"
Amari looked at my honest excited eyes, and continued to talk happy and proud of herself.
"And its not over yet! If not, I would have made my Sisu: Stretch the 5 rings. I made them so that they were individual properties, even if the 3 fingers were the same, to be able to have some... special abilities!!"
"S-Special abilities!? S-SO ITS LITERALLY POWERS!!"
"Yeah yeah whatever you call... I gave a different ability to my little finger and ring finger, which I found useful... 3 chains seems to be enough to fight, and I can freely use one or use all 3 as before, but I believe that the more I use them, the more Sankalpa I spend..."
Sayuri, embarrassed and talking slowly (or maybe she was just cold), said.
"All you said is right... But, I will warn you about something... if you had done your Sisu: 5 chains that stretch, the 5 chains would stretch to a level, their resistance and amount of Sankalpa spent too... But since you chose to give properties to 2 of them, it is different..."
"What you mean..."
"Depending on how strong these 2 skills are, your range, resistance and Sankalpa spent changes... If they are too powerful, these 3 attributes are much lower than if you had only chosen for the 5 chains to stretch."
Amari was trying to analyze it.
"Ah so like, It doesn't matter if I'm using these 2 skills or not, my limits will always be smaller just because of the existence of the 2 skills..."
"Yes indeed... Over time you will be able to increase these attributes anyways... But maybe, if the skills you choose are pretty weak, It may be that in fact these attributes have increased... It's all a mechanism of Sankalpa itself to make everything balanced and not overpowered... But well, it all depends on the question: which 2 skills did you choose?..."
Amari giggled.
"It's a secret❤️"
Oh that made me furious!
"OH CMON!!! JUST SAY IT ALREADY!!!"
She giggled again, looking at the side playing dumb.
"Maybe later..."
She then noticed the dark sky.
"Oh damn, its so late... We were going to the mansion house?... But is so late now... But im with energy now!"
I smirked.
"Ah me too!! I actually wanted to sleep, but now, I can't, let's walk!-"
Sayuri yelled.
"NO!! DON'T CHANGE YOUR OPINION NOW, WERE SLEEPING HERE!!!"
I glared at her, kinda confused.
"Ah? Weren't you the one who wanted to go to the mansion as soon as possible?-"
"NO, NOT MORE!!! WE WILL SLEEP HERE!!"
She seemed so worried, I just accepted it.
So we slept in the sleeping bed one (hopefully) last time.
...
"WE'RE HERE!!!"
3:00 pm the next day, we finally arrived at our house.
Amari stared wide-eyed.
"I-IT'S REALLY BIG!!!"
Sayuri wasn't very surprised.
"He said a mansion... Clown said."
The house It's a large, two-story (plus maybe an attic?) stone and dark timber building.
There's a small, slightly overgrown front yard separated from the cobbled street by a low stone wall and a creaky iron gate.
Very beautiful, definitely way better than i used to live.
"I WANT TO SEE IT!!"
I quickly tried to open the door, but it was locked.
"Ah wel... Super Kic-"
Before i kicked the door, Amari gave me a "friendly punch".
"I have the keys you idiot..."
So she opened it.
Quickly i saw a cavernous foyer. The floor is a checkerboard of black and white. High above, a massive chandelier hangs, not of crystal, but of brightly colored, blown glass baubles.
Well, its definitely pretty and surprisingly clean, like someone had just cleaned it.
The three of us stood there for a while, just admiring all that beauty and elegance.
"IN GOING TO SEE THE KITCHEN!!"
I ran out of there towards the kitchen.
Amari said quietly to herself.
"Guess im gonna bath..."
She heard a voice saying from the kitchen.
"Yeah you stink!"
"A-AH?! I-ITS NOT MY FAULT IM POOR SINCE A WEEK AGO, A-AND YOU ALSO DO!!!"
Sayuri thought for a bit.
"He's right tho."
"SHUT UP!"
"Well... Im gonna choose my room... IT'S GONNA THE LARGEST ONE MUAHAHAH!"
She ran out of there towards the 2nd floor, where only the bedrooms were.
I opened the freezer.
"IT'S FULL!! Oh wow, so much delicious food!"
I stopped, realizing something
"Wait... Clown said there was a present for us... What could it be... OH WAIT I KNOW!! IT'S THIS FREEZER and..."
I opened the pantry, also full.
"THIS PANTRY!!!"
Well i liked it.
Then i heard footsteps on the stairs, going down to meet me.
"Well, i already choosed my room... You turn."
I walked out of the pantry and quickly saw her face.
"Oh Sayuri! Ok!"
I ran out of there towards the second floor.
The second floor was just corridors, left and right, full of doors.
"Hmmmm what should i choose..."
I heard the sounds of water hitting the ground near where I was.
"Hm? Whats that..."
I started to walk in the direction of that sound which led me to a door.
What could it be? Do we have a water park inside our house?
I opened that door, and-
"W-WHAT YOU'RE DOING?!"
Amari was there, taking a bath.
"Oh, sorry!"
I closed the door.
Hm let me see... that is not a room, so the other doors should be.
I went to one, there was some stickers and things writted on it.
The things were: "DON'T YOU DARE COME IN HERE! (without permission)" "ROOM OF THE GREAT, COOL, WHO WILL BE THE GREATEST WIZARD IN THE WORLD, SAYURI!!!" And a lot of "danger" symbols.
"Oh that's Sayuri's room... Ok! I just need to find a open on- Wait a second..."
I saw something that caught my attention. At the end of the corridor, there were stairs, some white stairs leading up.
"Oh wait, THAT'S FOR THE ATTIC?! THIS IS GONNA BE MY ROOM FOR SURE!!"
I quickly ran and climbed those stairs, opening a trapdoor and coming out on the attic.
It was pitch black, i couldn't see a thing.
Still.
"THIS IS SO COOL! WOO-"
I felt something running between my legs, which made me fall onto that dirty floor.
"Ah... what was that... Well."
I stood up.
"Think I need a flashlight or something... Wait, are there flashlights here? So I think a lamp or something?"
I threatened to go downstairs, but then I heard Sayuri's voice shouting from the first floor.
"GUYS!! I FOUND SOMETHING!!!"
Instantly, I had an idea. What if I didn't leave there and stayed hidden? Haha, just imagine them wasting time looking for me and-
"IT'S A CAT!!!"
Ok i need to see that.
I quickly threw myself down the stairs and ran to the first one.
There, was Sayuri, holding a cat, but one I had never seen before.
That animal was yellow, completely yellow, had black eyes and was extremely fat.
And something even stranger, that thing was literally smiling.
Sayuri was just there, with a serene face, holding that animal under her paws.
But even with that creepy smile, that animal was very cute.
"OH! SO CUTE! WHAT'S HIS NAME!?"
Before Sayuri could say anything, Amari appeared coming down the stairs, wearing blue pajamas, with wet hair and yawning.
"Whats going o- WAAAAAAAH!"
Now the three of us are in the kitchen.
Amari widened her eyes and ran towards Sayuri.
"SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE!! LET ME PET..."
...
"HIM!"
As soon as Amari tried to touch the animal, Sayuri dodged back and jumped onto the dining table.
"STAND BACK MORTALS!! I WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND THIS CAT, SO I DECIDE WHAT WE WILL DO WITH HIM!!"
Sayuri was holding him like a title or something, in a very proud way.
Me and Amari looked at her, both a bid irritated.
"Augh, fine... BUT YOU'RE NOT CHOOSINT HIS NAME!!"
"AND GET OUT OF THE TABLE!!"
Sayuri tilted her head.
"Ah? What you mean... WE'RE SELLING HIM!!"
This was a shock for me and Amari.
Amari yelled.
"WHAT?! W-WHAT?!?"
I was very angry.
"W-WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? W"
Sayuri looked up.
"Ohhhh right, i forgot you are foreigners..."
She sighed.
"This cat, is a Persona cat."
We looked at her confused.
Amari said.
"Persona?... What you mean?"
"It's a cat breed, and not just any cat... IT'S EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!! I WOULD SAY IT'S WORTH THE SAME AS THIS HOUSE!!"
Amari and I looked confused at each other.
Then we looked at Sayuri and said at the same time.
"So?..."
Sayuri was irritated with us.
"SO WE'RE GOING TO SELL HIM, AND WITH THAT MONEY WE'RE GOING TO LIVE HERE!! This cat is Clown's gift!!"
Sayuri simply said, confused.
"But we already have money..."
I completed.
"Yeah... Well you have."
Sayuri became pissed off after hearing that.
"W-WHAT?! D-DO YOU THINK I CAN AFFORD ALONE THIS MANSION, WITH 3 PEOPLE LIVING IN IT!?"
Amari said quietly.
"Well uh... We can do the missions."
I shouted.
"YEAH! NO WAY WE'RE SELLING THE CAT!!"
Amari shouted too.
"YEAH OF COURSE!! HE'S GOING TO BE OUR PET!!!"
Before Sayuri could speak, we heard the bell ringing.
I looked at the door.
"Hm well, Amari go on."
"What!? No, im in pijamas!!"
"Wait why are you wearing that?! Its 4pm!!"
Sayuri, still on the table said quietly.
"I can't go because... Im holding the cat!"
"THATS NOT AN EXCUSE... Damn it..."
So i heard the bell again.
"IM COMING!!"
i went there and opened the door.
Sayuri and Amari were left alone.
The two stared at each other, after a while Amari tried to jump and grab the cat, but Amari dodged.
"GIVE ME HIM!!"
"AH? WHY?!"
Amari tried to jump again.
"B-Because... HE IS HEAVY AND YOU'RE VERY WEAK TO CARRY HIM!!"
Sayuri took another step back, almost falling off the table.
"THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE!!"
Amari jumped on the table.
"J-Just... YOURE NOT GOING TO SELL HIM!!"
Amari approached Sayuri and tried to grab the cat.
"I-I DIDN'T WANT TO SELL HIM, BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY!!"
"T-THERES GONNA BE OTHER!"
Amari jumped on top of Sayuri, and the two fell to the floor.
They started to squabble, and the cat quickly ran away, climbing onto the table and watching everything with a big smile on his face, appreciating.
The two started pulling each other's hair, a very... childish fight.
"THE CAT IS MINE!!"
"I JUST WANT WHAT'S BETTER FOR US!"
"BUT THE CAT IS A CAT!"
"A CAT! NOT A-"
They suddenly stopped, looking at the door.
There was I, looking a bit confused at them.
"Uh? Whats goin on?..."
As soon as they saw me, the two lying on the floor slowly began to look terrified.
"N-No Kai... Don't you da-"
I opened a very wide excited smile.
"WHAT YOU DOING?! I WANT TO PLAY THAT TOO!!"
"NO KAI!!! DON'T DO TH-"
"HERE I GO!!!"
"NOOO-"
I jumped on top of the 2.
...
Some time later, the three of us are standing.
They are both very exhausted, tired in front of me.
I am smiling a lot.
"Hahaha, i won!"
They both yelled at the same time.
"WON WHAT?!"
I was just there, laughing proudly, while the two sighed.
Amari looked down.
"Well, who was it?"
"Oh the door? Well..."
I gave them a wrapped letter.
"It was the mailman i think. He asked me things like "who should this house be named after?" I said Kai of course. He also asked if I would accept some things or something, and in the end he gave me this."
Amari and Sayuri looked at the paper interested, as they opened it.
Amari said.
"Oh maybe a letter from Clown?"
And then, she opened it and started to read.
As she read on, she became more and more frightened until.
"THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF BILLS WE MUST PAY!"
Sayuri grabbed the paper and read the values.
"O-OH THATS HUGE!!... I CAN'T PAY ALL THAT ALONE!"
She looked at us 2.
"THIS MEANS WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SELL THE CAT!"
Amari looked at Sayuri, gritting her teeth, but kind of seeing that she had no choice.
"B-But, we we... t-the missions! W-We can see that!"
I was also kinda desperate.
"Y-YEAH! WE ARE SUICIDERS AFTER ALL!!"
Sayuri sighed and then dramatically pointed at the cat that was in the table sleeping.
"FINE! IF YOU WANT THE HARD WAY... Buttttttt..."
She pointed at herself, with the other hand on her hip.
"IM GONNA CHOOSE HIS NAME!"
Amari and I trembled a little, already expecting what was to come.
"And what it would be."
Sayuri looked at the sides, blushed a bit and said.
"MelMel."
This genuinely surprised Amari and I, we weren't expecting it.
Amari looked at me suprised.
"Wait, that's actually not bad."
I nodded.
"Yeah, It would be good if she were to name her attacks like that too..."
Sayuri was petting that guy's belly on the table.
"Ohh whos my little prince? My little, overweight, fluffy furball? Melmelmelmelmel-"
Amari shouted.
"IT DOESN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE YOU WANTED TO SELL HIM 5 SECONDS AGO!"
"Melmelmelmelmel..."
"Thinking now, why did she name him that?... Mel... Mel... AH! DON'T TELL ME THAT'S HOW SHE HEARS MEOWMEOW-
Then suddenly, a the bell rang again.
Both girls said.
"Kai!"
"Hey I went before! Now it-"
Sayuri, without stopping to caress the kitten, just said.
"Im busy."
"PETTING A CA-"
Amari said.
"You're the man of the house, go on."
Stupid excuses...
I sighed and went to the door.
God, I haven't even had time to choose my room yet, and it must be quite late... I'm not going to make dinner then, am I?! That's all I need!!
I put my hand on the door handle as i opened it.
"Im here, the owner of this house... Wait if im the owner of this house, i actually should be the one that-... What..."
I looked at my chest, there was a knife stuck in it with blood leaking out.
I slowly looked up, and saw a man at the door slowly removing it from my chest.
"You brats..."
I fell back, clutching my chest and screaming in despair.
The man, he had a raccoon mask, a black jacket and black pants, holding a bloody knife in his right hand.
His hair was completely covered by the hat, and his face, even though we couldn't see it, looked like someone tired, or fed up, but not very angry, maybe confident.
He was quite tall, definitely not one of those 3 we saw before.
As I spat blood on the floor, screaming in pain, he simply grabbed me by the neck with one hand, making me float, and made me face him face to face.
He said very slowly, with a very heavy voice.
"Who are you. You insolent brats. I am the owner of the Raccoon. When you mess with his young, it is the owner's responsibility to protect them."
With just one hand, he threw me to the side, with such absurd force that I only lost speed when I hit the wall, falling to the ground.
"KAI?! IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT!?"
I heard this voices coming from the kitchen, It was Sayuri or Amari.
Oh no, if they come here I don't know what might happen... Damn it! This hurts so much I can't get off the ground and stop screaming!
These guy seem so strong, I don't know if they can deal with him... I-I... GODDAMIT!
