Chapter 17 - "Tracking a pervert."

After enjoying the fluffy bed and flirt with Mysty and Setsuna for a while, I decided to move from it and started to stretch myself still in the nude.

*Crack**Crack*

Ahhh... That always feel good when you make that sound while stretching yourself! Oops danger! When I was stretching myself Mysty and Setsuna came to my back and started to touch and lick me... NO GOOD! BEGONE EARTHLY DESIRE!

"Please stop... I sadly don't have time for that today..." (Shun)

They stopped but clearly looked sad when I said that...

"So you really leaving?" (Mysty)

She asked me that with teary up turned eyes... That one of Mysty favorite strategy when she want something... But I can't do what she want today, I really need to find the pervert and finish all this mess as fast as I can...

"Yeah... But don't worry I do it as fast as I can and return to you two. It's not like I want to take my time on this..." (Shun)

"Okay..." (Mysty)

Setsuna didn't said anything but she clearly also was sad that I was leaving as her smile was a little cramped, I guess she's the kind to think a good wife must see her husband leave with a smile. She do look a little old-school.

But as I was talking with them.

"I'm entering!" (Sarius)

The prince entered without a knock and of course saw us standing in the middle of the room completely nude, her face started to become completely red and she ran away of the room leaving the door open...

"Her majesty is really hyper even in the morning..." (Shun)

"I don't want to hear that from you!" (Sarius)

I could hear the 'prince' answering me back from the hallway in a angry voice.

"Your the one at fault to enter a room without even a knock." (Shun)

"I'm sorry already okay?! Just change quickly I have something to talk with you!" (Sarius)

"Yes, yes." (Shun)

At our exchange I could hear giggling from Mysty and Setsuna, I must say that messing with Sarius is kinda fun, I guess she the type to be easily teased. I hope they won't tease her too much while I'm gone and they serve as her bodyguard...

After we all changed ourselves while sensing someone looking at me by the door, I finally exited the bedroom now in full cloth and my faithful scarf around my neck, waiting for me there was Sarius and the maid I have saw yesterday.

"Sir Fenrik would you want to eat before departing?" (Maid)

"Yes I would, thanks." (Shun)

"Understood I will prepare it." (Maid)

After hearing my answer the maid bowed and leaved us alone.

"So Sarius, what can I do for you, apart from letting you peep on me?" (Shun)

"Wha!" (Sarius)

Yes, teasing her is really fun... She was now as red as one can be.

"You fool! Who was peeping on you?!" (Sarius)

"Mmm? I never said you were peeping on me did I?" (Shun)

"Urg! A... Anyway! I wanted to talk to you about something serious!" (Sarius)

"Sure. Do you want to talk somewhere else?" (Shun)

"No, that's okay we can talk here... I wanted to know what you intended to do after my brother was killed and your sister saved." (Sarius)

Isn't that a little too soon to ask that?

"I know what you are thinking but it's important that I know that as soon as possible..." (Sarius)

"Mmm... Don't tell me! You fallen in love with me?!" (Shun)

Of course I was still messing with her, I should really stop before it became a habit.

"Of course not you fool! Your just messing with me aren't you?!" (Sarius)

"Oh so you knew?" (Shun)

"You bastard!... Now I kinda wonder if that a good idea...*Sigh* I wanted to know if you wanted to enter my service after we finished with my brother and I became king of Asfellana..." (Sarius)

"I see... It was about that, but you really weird to want someone like me at your service who keep being rude and mess with you like that... Are you the same kind as Setsuna?" (Shun)

"Oh! A kindred spirit?!" (Setsuna)

"I don't know what you are talking about but that's certainly not it... It's just that I thought I owed you at least that. Since like you already said what happened to your family was partly my fault. And if our plan work, it would be thank to you, so it be like I owe you to become the king. It would be weird for me to not reward you no?" (Sarius)

"Mmm... I will think about it, but either way there is something I want you to promise me for when you become king." (Shun)

"What is it?" (Sarius)

"I want you to clean the name of the Fenrik family and most of all of my father." (Shun)

When she heard my request she was clearly surprised, it must have come at a shock to her that I would have such a side to me.

"Of course you don't need to ask, I always intended to do that. Orios was one of my best ally and helped me a lot in the past, even if not for you I still owe him at least this much." (Sarius)

I simply nodded to her answer and started to walk to the stairs as our conversation was now finished. As I descended to the first floor the same maid as before was waiting for me.

"Is you talk finished sir? In that case please follow me. The master and his family is waiting for you all for breakfast." (Maid)

"Understood." (Shun)

It seem that Arllan also wanted to talk to me, and I have a bad feeling about that.

We all followed the maid in silence and entered a big room with a long table in the middle surrounded by empty chair, at the end of it was the duke with his wife and daughter on each of his side, I waited for the maid to tell me where to sit but it seem I was the one to decide, so I decided to sit two chairs apart from the duke wife, Mysty and Setsuna just took, like it was natural, both my side.

"Glad to see you here Shun my boy!" (Arllan)

"Sure... It's not like I was going to go away in the middle of the night." (Shun)

"PFHAHAHAHA! That wouldn't have surprised me from you anymore, you did much more crazy thing yesterday!" (Arllan)

I guess the fact that I ate a man finger like it was nothing was still fresh on is mind...

"Well I can't really deny that... Anyway it seem you wanted to talk to me?" (Shun)

"Still getting to the point I see? I just wanted to introduce you to my wife and child." (Arllan)

Saying that he looked to his right.

"This is my wife Melinda." (Arllan)

"Nice to meet young boy, I heard a lot about you since you were a child." (Melinda)

"Nice to meet you too mam." (Shun)

And then Arllan turned his head to is left.

"And this is my daughter Lucia." (Arllan)

"Nice to meet you..." (Lucia)

When our eyes meet she turned her head while blushing.

"Oh? What that? Why are you so red Lucia?" (Arllan)

"Ah... It's my fault, I have kinda... Exposed myself to his highness Sarius and your daughter by accident." (Shun)

When I said that Sarius who was took a sit across me, beautifully spited his drink in the air and Lucia was even redder than before.

"BWAHAHAHAHA! Oh I see! So my daughter already seen the wolf uh?" (Arllan)

"Father!" (Lucia)

That Oldman seem much more hyped than yesterday, I guess this is his true personality, no wonder he was my father best friend.

After that the meal became a contest of teasing between me and Arllan the victim being his daughter and Sarius. Until they finally had enough and exited the room furious and red from embarrassment.

"My, my, dear and young Shun you two have gone too far." (Melinda)

"Ahahahah! I didn't have that much fun in a while!" (Arllan)

Arllan was really in a good mood but when he looked at me his face suddenly showed a melancholic face.

"You really like your father... A little more twisted maybe but still really alike..." (Arllan)

Look like talking about what he was thinking just depressed him even more as he started to hold is head in is hands.

"I'm sorry Shun... If only I did a better job that wouldn't have happened to your family..." (Arllan)

"...*krrr*" (Shun)

Uncle Arllan stop that... I'm seriously getting angry here.

"*Sigh*Really because of me my best friend died. If I didn't recruited him to the second prince side it wouldn't have come to this..." (Arllan)

"...Krrr* (Shun)

Shut up...

"I even involved his family and now I can't even help them without asking anything in return..." (Arllan)

"ENOUGH!" *BLAAMMMMM*

Out of myself I slammed my fist into the table breaking it in piece.

"Is that why you wanted to talk to me?! To play the drama queen?! I don't want your sorry! When my father choose to follow you, he knew that there would be risk! I was angry at you because of my own stupidity and naivety before! Did I ever ask for you to say sorry?! No! So stop that this instant, and I never want that word out of your mouth ever again!" (Shun)

I was most likely really scary right now, because Melinda looked blue in the face and on the verge of fainting. Seeing my rage Arllan felt shame, but he slowly showed back a confident smile.

"Ahahah... Sorry about that son... I should really stop angering you or giving you bad news in my mansion or at this rate you going to destroy it!" (Arllan)

I locked eyes with him for a moment making sure he was clearly back to himself, and finally showed a smile that made Melinda and the maid drop their shoulder in relief.

"Good! Don't show me something this shameless again, or my father seriously going to piss himself from laugh from up-there." (Shun)

"Ahahah Yeah he really was not someone to read the mood! Anyway now that our meal is 'finished' are you going?" (Arllan)

"Yeah, I want to finish this as soon as I can... Please take care of Mysty and Setsuna." (Shun)

"Ah yes, please don't worry." (Arllan)

On those word I got back to my bedroom to snatch my backpack and ready myself, behind me were Mysty and Setsuna whom gloominess could be felt without even having to turn around. When we were finally came back to the bedroom the girls suddenly hugged me without a warning, they were both crying... I didn't expect that, I knew they would be sad to part way even if only for less than a month, but still, to go as far as crying. I almost cried myself, from happiness, it was really weird, I think of myself as someone who is lacking emotion yet here I am almost sobbing from this.

I'm still not accustomed to be showered with love, yet I always was loved, even when as Rick, but in my previous life love didn't made any sense for me, and the Fenrik family love was something else entirely, to compare it the love of family is something that make you feel secure or comfy, but the love of a woman who shower you with love is pure bliss, I felt so happy I wondered if I was under the effect of drug.

Reluctantly I separated myself from the girls and gave each a good-bye kiss.

"See you latter you two... Take care of yourself!" (Shun)

They just nodded while sobbing seeing as I was really leaving them behind.

"We do a lot of... Rewarding when I'm back..." (Shun)

So embarrassing! Someone kill me! But when they heard that they suddenly made a complete 180°.

"Really?! Can we do a wedding role-play?!" (Mysty)

"Myself going to buy a lot of stuffs for punishment before thou return! Myself is so excited!" (Setsuna)

Urg... I screwed myself here...

"Yeah... See ya..." (Shun)

"Yes! See you latter dear!" (Mysty)

"Be safe my lord!" (Setsuna)

And that is how I departed from the mansion and gone my way, Arllan asked me to take an escort with me at least until I reached the gate, but when I refused him while asking if an escort could really protect 'me'. He simply laughed saying 'You damn right!', and so here I was walking alone down the street to reach the city gate.

Strangely every time my path crossed one of the city guard they showed fear on their face and even gone as far as to salute me. What the hell? Did rumor of me gone wild between city guard? That seriously embarrassing as when they do that every citizen look my way wondering who I was to receive such treatment. After walking a walk of shame while sighing constantly I finally reached the gate and leaved the city as the guard showed me the way when they saw me approach.

So now, where to start? I guess Melody village is the best clue no? Okay! Let's run!

And so I ran, but it didn't take long before I was attacked by bandit...

Well I say don't long but I don't really know since when I was running, that's really annoying to have such a messed up sense of time! But since it can prove useful and it's the price to pay for immortality I guess I can't really complain. Well if I were to guess it was around a day since I started running.

A huge guy at least 6,5ft tall approached me while snickering.

"Well, well, well. So little guy, what are you doing alone on the road running like that? Are you a courier? I guess you are uh? So give me all you belonging and baggage before you get hurt!" (Bandit chief?)

Of course like the stereotypical situation described, every bandits that was surrounding me started to laugh when their chief said that.

"*Sigh* Don't decide thing for yourself. From my point of view you guy are really unlucky, yup really." (Shun)

Of course as I said that every bandit started to laugh even harder than before.

"BWAHAHAHAHA! Ah my side hurt! You are a real piece of work my boy! Did I guessed wrong and you are actually a clown? You even have the appearance of own with your grey hair and everything!"

*KRRRRR* I snapped... Without even able to see me move, I was now in front of the bandit chief, and put my right hand between his legs.

"DON'T EVER!" (Shun)

When he looked where my hand was the bandit chief face paled and he started to sweat profusely.

"Uh... Wait, what are you..." (Bandit chief)

"INSULT MY HAIR! YOU SHIT!!!" (Shun)

*Splash*

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" (Bandit chief)

As I literally crushed the Bandit chief jewels, he started to scream so loud that it wouldn't surprise me if someone could heard him kilometers away. As I retired my hand a stain of blood could be seen appearing at the crotch level of his pants. Nobody mess with my hair!

"Guuh... KILL HIM! FUCKING KILL HIM!" (Bandit chief)

Oh! Impressive! He didn't even pass out! He is on is knee and writhing in pain but still conscious! If he still had balls I would say he had impressive ones.

On his order the 7 others bandits charged me with a war cry. The first one to reach me was a guy with a mohawk and a axe in his hand, he tried to slash me with a slash to the head, and I parried it by pushing the axe upward with the palm of my hand, normally with the momentum it should have passed above my head leaving his wielder wide open, but this guy was good! As the axe was now right above my head, he suddenly changed his horizontal slash to a vertical one with incredible reflex.

I made a step to the side to avoid it but he once again changed his attack direction and was following me like would a auto-guided missile, I wonder why a guy this good is a bandit? This time I blocked the blade by slapping it the floor with enough strength to make the wielder drop it.

Since he was now unarmed I charged him and tried to stab him in the stomach with my hand, but a second bandit reached me from my back, a really stupid one as he tried to stab me from behind with a spear when his own ally was in front of me, waiting for the right moment, I lowered my head that was going to get stabbed from the spear when I sensed it's tip reached my hair, and the dumb bandit stabbed mohawk right in the throat as he did a splendid attack on him.

To bad mohawk was only at that level, I hoped he would entertain me more than that. As he saw that he stabbed his ally the dumb bandit released his spear from shock, stupid until the end uh? I crouched myself while turning around and get hold of the axe that was resting on the floor, using the momentum I split the dumb bandit in two half. As they lost two of their comrade in a moment the others bandits started to run away understanding I wasn't an opponent they could do anything about.

"Oh no you don't!" (Shun)

I took the spear that was still inside mohawk throat and threw it at two bandits that was running away in a line, I threw it with so much force that the spear didn't stop after piercing the two it still flied for a moment in front of them, meanwhile I launched the axe in my hand to another bandit back, but this time the axe stayed in his back.

Mmm. There still 3 others running away in different way, what should I do... Oh! How dumb I am! There weapons all around me!

As we were on a road that was rarely used, a lot of stones was around me, that's enough of a weapon for shitty bandits. I took three stone in my left hand and started to pitch the rock like would a baseball player with my right. Making their head literally explode one after another... That was kinda fun, like a sick game of whack a mole.

"Ahhh... That was good stress relief! Now that I talked with Arllan and got a deal with him, I don't have to restrain myself anymore!" (Shun)

The Bandit chief was still crouching on the floor writhing in pain while not looking as to what was happening, sure his men would make mincemeat of me. I walked to him and stomped the back of his head crushing it completely on the floor not even letting him the time to beg for his life.

So dull and weak... I kinda miss Setsuna dungeon now... Nobody was a challenge since then, well I did try to restrain myself from fighting too.

But still it was a good change of pace! Those assassins in the city was good distraction too! I'm feeling a lot better now!

I took my spoil of war, who was 26.000.S and rations, nothing really that good, all their weapons were utter shit so I didn't took any of them. Now that I think of it I don't fell as much love for normal blade since I involved myself with cursed blades... Guess after using something that his the embodiment of a perfect blade everything else look like shit uh? I'm starting to miss them... It's weird being alone, since I was reborn I was rarely alone for more than some hours and after I lost my family Mysty and then Setsuna was always beside me... So that what being lonely feel like? I don't like that. Let's finish this as fast as I can...

Decided I started to run with the maximum speed I was capable of. Ironically since I ran a lot lately I'm getting even better at it, most likely thanks to the high blessing. It was seriously getting ridiculous, I must be able to run near 70Km/h at my max speed, I wonder if I can run even faster with my second soul body? No, no, no! Don't even think about it! I don't have anything to create the bridge anyway! Let's just go at my current pace and don't think about dangerous thing!

This time I was able to reach Melody village after running for 3 more days. But as one would expect when they saw me they didn't really welcome me with open arms...

"GYAAAA! WE ALL GOING TO DIE!" Or so said the first villager to see me... After that they started to run like headless chickens while the younger ones wondered why the hell they were even running away from me.

"Uhhhh... I'm not here to hurt you...Can someone call the village chief? I just ask him what I want to know and go my way okay?" (Shun)

I sat on the floor and waited patiently, showing that I wouldn't move from there as long as I didn't get to ask my question to Melody father. Talking about Melody...

"Misttteerrrr fairyyy!!!" She leaped at me and made me fall as I caught her while still being sitting on the floor.

"Hey! That dangerous!" (Shun)

As I stood up and also put Melody on her feet I couldn't help but scold her a little.

"But! You leaved without even saying good-bye!" (Melody)

"*Sigh* It wasn't by choice believe me... If you really want to know why I leaved like that ask your father latter, but you gonna have to wait your turn as I need to talk to him before that." (Shun)

"Uh? That weird, when I asked him he said he didn't know anything and you leaved the house in the cover of the night." (Melody)

Yeah... No wonder here, it's not like he was going to admit to his daughter that he tried to sold her savior to a pervert...

"Oh! Also I encountered another fairy!" (Melody)

So there was another victim of your fantasy?

"It was a huge brown werebear who was able to talk!" (Melody)

"Wait, what the fuck?!" (Shun)

How is that even close to a fucking fairy?!

"Uh? You don't know him? When I described you to him; he told me he knew who you are." (Melody)

"Nonono! I can say with confidence that I don't have such weird acquaintance!" (Shun)

But still what the hell is that? A huge brown werebear who can talk... Maybe it's a mage who use illusion or some kind of illegal magic item...

As I was thinking of the identity of the mysterious werebear, Melody father finally shown up with face as pale as snow, he must have thought I came back for revenge or for the money he promised me if I didn't kill any of the thieves.

"Hello good sir! What can I do for you?" (Melody Father)

"I just wanted to ask you something, don't worry as I soon as I get my answer I go away." (Shun)

"Whaatttt...? No way!" (Melody)

Ignoring Melody protest I continued.

"Can you tell me where to find Elivera?" (Shun)

Hearing as I mentioned Elivera, Melody father gulped loudly while looking nervously at his daughter wondering if I talked to her about what happened that night.

"Uh that is... After that night she came to ask us clue as to where she could find... But I swear I didn't say a word!" (Melody father)

Melody looked at her father in a strange way wondering why he was acting like that.

"Like I said I don't care about you, just tell how you come in contact when you need her?" (Shun)

"There a tree around here that we use for communication, when we need to call someone from the band we put a blue ribbon on a branch." (Melody father)

"And where can I find that tree?" (Shun)

"North from here, you need to walk for 20 minutes and then you will reach a dead tree that is in the middle of a small lake." (Melody father)

"I see... Thanks for the information. Good-bye." (Shun)

"Hey! Wait your really leaving already?!" (Melody)

Seeing as I was really leaving Melody grope my hand and was trying to pull me back as I was walking.

"Melody! Stop that, mister fairy need to leave, so let him!" (Melody)

Melody father was kinda panicked here as to see is daughter was trying to make me stay. I stopped and turned to her making her father gasp in fear.

"Sorry Melody but I don't have the time to stay here." I said while patting her head gently.

She weakly nodded to show that she understood and released my hand, I didn't have the time to stay here any longer just to make a little girl happy, there a chance that the freak leaved her lair to go after me. If that the case that going to be really annoying...

After saying a short good-bye to Melody who looked dejected, I started to run north of here, in direction of the tree, only 5 minutes after my depart I was already there, it was a beautiful sight it had a fairy tale like atmosphere, in a middle of a clear lake stood a dead tree on top of a small island.

"Now how to reach that island... Oh wait I don't have to..." (Shun)

I wasn't here for the dead tree, I was here to track the bandit. If I had Setsuna with the help of her curse it would had been a simple matter to find them but here I must track them the old-school way. I started to search for any suspicious trail and it took me a while but finally found one. It was small footprints most likely belonging to a young boy who was wearing boots, and most of the trace came back and forth the north, so it wasn't someone from the village. Anyway it's my only hint for now.

Time to go find the pervert lair now uh?
