Master Of None Chapter 317

"You know most of the time people are amazed by what I can do, but today I get to be the audience and watch something amazing you can do." He hadn't even thought as he said this. Lisa just smiled and worked a little faster. She loved the compliment from her older brother but could not let it stop her from her goal. If she was going to show off she refused to let some praise ruin her work of art.
Before Walker knew it Lisa had switched brushes and moved on to the arms and sleeves. She was making sure that they were coated the same way as the larger spots were and even getting the seems. The smallest brush was used last for the seams and the crevices in everyone's boots.
When Lisa stood back and wiped the sweat from her forehead the difference in the gear was almost unnoticeable. The only thing that gave away the wax added was that there was a slight shine to everything. "Done done done. These should keep you all as dry as you can get out in a rainstorm like this." She was very happy to have this all done. "Oh, you can pour that melted wax in to the metal jug over there. When I need to use it again I will place that right next to the fire to start it melting." Walker did as he was told happy to get rid of the heat that had made him sweat as well.
After getting the wax poured out he opened the window letting in the fresh cool air. The room became much more refreshed with the burst of air and the two realized just how warm it was having the fire going the entire time. "So I would say that was pretty fast. When did you learn a skill to let you sew so fast? I could barely see all the patterns you were adding."
Lis proudly put away her needles and rolled u her waxed thread. "It's a skill known as quick stitch. It lets me use any of the stitches I have learned to completion at my fastest possible pace. The only problem is I need to get to completion. That means I need to use the strict pattern over and over again. The basic ones only had to be done a hundred times. But the one I used took a thousand stitches to master." This sounded like it would take a lot of time. It made sense that this was how a trade skill like seamstress system would work, but it sounded very daunting.

"So what you're saying is I was lucky enough to witness hours and hours of your hard work come to fruition. As expected of the world's best little sister." Walker placed his hand on her head making her blush from the praise.
Lisa quickly gained a serious look again, "You can't wear it until tomorrow. The wax needs to set and if you wear it now it will make spots that aren't properly water proof." Walker had moved to touch the gear and start to fold it all up to bring to everyone, but now he was quickly withdrawing to make sure he didn't ruin the effort they put in.
"Get down here and help! The rain is going to flood the strawberries!" Gil yelled through the entire mansion making Walker and Lisa jump to attention. The two gave each other a look of worry and started to rush downstairs.
"What's wrong with the strawberries?" Walker wasn't sure what would happen if they got flooded but based on the yell it was not a good situation.
Gil was getting another pair of boots and a cloak on. "The rain is coming down too fast and the place we planted them holds the water. There is a huge puddle that will drown the strawberry patch if we don't get pout there and dig some channels for the water to stream off." He rushed out the door the second his boot was tied. Walker and Lisa started to get ready to go out themselves.
"So we are going to play on the mud right?" Lisa was not as understanding since she had never done any gardening at all, but she did remember making mud pies with her brother.
"Pretty much, just watch Gil and copy him. He grew up doing the farming stuff with his mother. I am sure he can't do things like a real farmer but just going through the motions can do much more than you would think." Walker knew that the skills that Gil's mother would use could do much more than theirs but since it was simple as putting seeds in a hole or digging a channel then they could be of help.
By the time the two had reached the strawberry patch, it was clear that the water had been pooling there since the rain started. Walker looked around seeing that Gil had already grabbed a myriad of tools for digging out the channels. "Just grab something and dig. It needs to stretch slightly downhill so the water runs away from the puddle. Just watch out for roots. No earth magic Walker!" The task was given and before he knew it he was digging a little channel while getting covered in mud.

Lisa did not leave his side and was carefully digging the same channel with him. She was wearing her basic work dress which would be needing a hard washing after this. She was smiling bright enough to push the grey clouds away while working hard. Walker couldn't imagine how she was so happy to be doing this but when he realized they were saving the fruit they had worked hard to plant he felt happy too.
By the time Su joined them and Gil's mother made her way from another patch of the garden the strawberries were draining very well. "I need to put in better irrigation over the next weeks. If I had known that the land was prone to puddling around here I could have prevented this." Gil's mother was not happy, but there was no way for her to know how the land acted since they hadn't even been at the mansion for a year yet.
The group finished their work after another hour. There were not rudimentary channels dug that let the water flow away toward the front gate. Shivering and covered in mud they all tried to rush inside towards the warmth. Their shoes were all left by the door but that didn't help protect the carpet from the water dripping off of them.
"Walker use your magic to get the water off me so I can get to my room!" Lisa was demanding as ever, but Walker knew that this was just an excuse for her to see him use more magic.
"Alight, just stand still and watch the awesomeness." Walker channeled his mana using his grand elemental manipulation skill. The water elemental mana reacted and started to converge in to one point leaving Lisa's clothing dry. The mud was still there but now mostly just clumps of dirt.
Lisa looked at Walker like he had just done an amazing magical feat. "Do it again!" Walker couldn't resist the cute look of excitement and started to dry his clothing in the same way. Now with two balls of water, he just stood there wondering what to do with them.
"Umm, grab the door?" Walker asked Lisa to open the door and he prepared himself to throw the water outside where it should be. When the door opened he didn't even look and tossed both of the water balls outside. The only problem with this was that Remey was just about to open the door.
"I rush home to get out of the rain and you are waiting here to throw water at me!? You better start running now." The death stare that Remey had in her face was enough to make Walker do just that. The two ran around the entrance while Lisa giggled at the show. "Oho, so you convinced your brother to do this practical joke then?"
Lisa had given herself away in Remey's eyes by laughing so much. With a new target, Remey was now chasing Lisa around threatening to get her. It was Walker's turn to enjoy the show.
The three tired themselves out after a little bit more of their fooling around for a bit longer. "You guys know we have to clean all of this up now, right?' Walker had realized that between Remey and them there was now dusty and muddy dirt all over the entrance. Not to mention where the water had been falling off of Remey. They had made themselves their own chores, it was a sad realization, but Lisa was just happy to spend more time with Walker while they got some cleaning supplies.

Human & [Inhuman]
In a modern Japan just like our own, unbeknownst to the general populace, there are [Inhumans] who are capable of channeling [Soul Energy] into unique [Magic] through their physiological differences from normal humans, as well as [Compatibles] who possess an excess of said [Soul Energy]. [Inhuman] and [Compatible] are designed to work together, to complete each other. In such a world, underground feuds between bloodlines are common, and no duo is safe from destiny. Perhaps love can yet blossom on the battlefield? This is a piece that heavily takes inspiration from animanga/japanese light novels, and is also sort of an experimental piece to see if combining the exposition style of japanese light novels with the narrative and descriptive techniques of western literature can work. Prepare for two-person team battle action, romance, as well as some slice-of-life on the side.
