Good ending for my boi Kerry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wolf: "Ugh!! Let me go!!"
She was being so loud that all the other people around me looked. I didn't care enough so I continued on my way.
Wolf: "Unhand me!!"
Y/n: "Would you shut up already? You're really starting to piss me off.. I'm your master and you are my slave so listen to my orders"
Wolf: "Then let me down!!"
Once we get away from civilization, I drop her onto the ground and continue to walk.
Wolf: "The hell is wrong with you-"
Y/n: "Get out"
Wolf: "What?"
Y/n: "Get out. I'm not going to tolerate your nagging for long so get the hell out of here"
Wolf: "Didn't you spend silvers on me?"
Y/n: "I don't care how much I lost, I can make it back. If you're going to continue to annoy me then you can get lost!!"
She looked at me stunned as I cover my face with my bandages and hoodie.
Y/n: "Whatever. I got shit I need to do"
I continue on my way as she simply sat there. She didn't know where to go or what to do. Her home was raided by the waves and was only able to survive by living as a slave. Seeing how dark it was made her feel uneasy.
Wolf: "W-Wait-"
A couple of bandits came out and looked at her.
Bandit: "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. A slave without an owner?"
Bandit: "Might I add, a pretty one"
They all started to surround her as she bared her fangs at them.
Bandit: "Oooh, a feisty one ey? I will love to break this one"
Wolf: "Stay back!! I-I'm warning you!!"
One of them jumps from behind her and pins her to the ground. Another one grabs her legs while another grabs her arms.
Bandit: "Feisty one indeed my boys. Now, who wants to go first?"
Bandit: "I do!!"
They begin to take off her jacket as she struggles to get free of their grasp to no avail.
Wolf: "Help.. help me.. master"
She says with tears in her eyes.
Bandit: "Oh she has a nice as-"
Y/n: "I never gave you permission to touch my property"
I put the barrel to the back of his head.
Bandit: "What?"
He doesn't get the chance to turn around as I pull Thompson's trigger. He collapses as I look at the other ones.
Bandit: "Wha- GAH!!"
I slice his neck with my knife before throwing it at the other one's head. I go for it and pull it out as wolf girl stands up and rushes to me.
Wolf: "Thank you. Thank you!!"
She says tearfully.
Y/n: "Why? I only came to get their hands off my tool"
She looks up at me as I stare at her with emotionless eyes.
Wolf: "Tool?"
Y/n: "Yes, tool. That's all you are to me. After all, I bought you to serve a purpose. To use your speed and ability that you displayed in that cage as a close combat weapon. If you have no desire to do it then so be it. You can stay here and do whatever you want"
I try to leave but she continues to clings onto me.
Wolf: "Don't leave me"
I go to move her hand but she tightens her grip.
Wolf: "I'll do what you want. Just please don't leave me alone"
I take a look at her and sigh.
Y/n: "Then get up and shut up"
She does so and gets to her feet. I head back to the market for some things I planned to purchase to make my journey easier.

Y/n: "Stay near me. I don't want anymore trouble than I already bring"
Wolf: "Y-Yes master"
Y/n: "Don't call me that"
I continue and see a vendor selling something that peaked my interest.
Y/n: "How much for it?"
Vendor: "Oh, that big boy is 20 silvers"
Y/n: "10"
Vendor: "What?! Did you know how long it took me to get it?!"
Y/n: "I don't care. 10 or I'm leaving"
Vendor: "Urgh.. 18 and you have a- Hey wait?! Where are you going!!"
Y/n: "Let's go"
Wolf: "Yes sir!!"
Vendor: "Wait!!"
Y/n: "I don't want to hear anything other than 10. Name something else and I'm killing you for wasting my time"
Vendor: "Fine, I'll do 10"
I head back and give him the amount we agreed on.
Vendor: "You are a hard person to bargain with"
Y/n: "I have experience"
Vendor: "You look a little familiar. Have we met before"
Y/n: "No, I just got here"
Vendor: "No.. I'm sure- Hey, your that damn he-"
He stops as I point my gun at him.
Y/n: "Finish it and I'm blowing your brains out"
I had people's eyes on me so I put Thompson's Contender back inside my holster.
Y/n: "Great, time to head out"
Wolf: "I'll follow you then"
Man: "Disgusting, the fake hero had to resort to slaves"
I ignored them and decided to crash at the one place I know I wouldn't be judged at. I head back with her to old man Muramasa's place and find him sitting at his table.
Muramasa: "Back already? Don't tell me you ran out of bullets and who's the girl"
Y/n: "A slave I bought. What's your name?"
Wolf: "I don't have a name"
I look at her and notice the pattern of colors she has.
Muramasa: "The hell happened to her clothes?!"
Y/n: "Bandits"
Muramasa: "Oh"
Y/n: "I need a weapon for her. Think you can take care of that?"
Muramasa: "You got it kid. There's some soup over in the kitchen so you two can eat. I'll head over to my work place and get it started"
Y/n: "Sorry to bother you"
Muramasa: "Don't worry about it. I was looking for something to do"
I head inside and find the soup he was talking about. I grab two plates and pour us both a bowl. I head to the table and sit down as I see her starring at the bowl.
Y/n: "*sigh* Eat"
She digs in as I do with mine.
Y/n: "Red"
Wolf: "Hm?"
Y/n: "That's your name now. Red. It isn't too creative but I don't have it in me to give you a name"
Y/n: "Really, I just couldn't come up with a name"
Red: "Red?.. I'll accept it then master"
Y/n: "You don't have to call me that"
Red: "Then how do I address master, master?"
Y/n: "Y/n is fine"
Red: "Master"
Y/n: "Urgh, whatever. Call me what you want"
I finish my meal and was about to take my bowl before Red took it.
Red: "I'll take it back!!"
She ran to the kitchen as I walked over to Muramasa.
Muramasa: "She's pretty scared"
Y/n: "You could tell?"
Muramasa: "Of course. Surprised you haven't"
Y/n: "How's the weapon going along?"
Muramasa: "Good. It'll be done by the end of today"
Y/n: "Still fast as ever huh? The greatest blacksmith as far as I'm concerned"
Muramasa: "You praise me too much"
Red: "Master!!"
Y/n: "What is it?'
Red: "Um.. not to be a bother but where will we stay at?"

Muramasa: "You can stay here little lady"
Y/n: "You aren't worried she's a beast?"
Muramasa: "I don't discriminate. You two are free to take the free room I have at the back"
Y/n: "I am indebted to you once again"
Muramasa: "Don't sweat it kid"
I walk over to the shed-looking room. I go in and see a little candle. I pull out my lighter and use it to light it up.
Red: "Is that a bed?"
Y/n: "Yea. Get in"
She looks at me and looks down.
Y/n: "What? Didn't you hear me? Get in bed now"
She hesitates a little as she begins to remove her jacket. I remove my armor and place it on a little couch to my side. I look at a table and head over to it as I begin to count all my weapons and ammo. I feel a hand on my shoulder to find Red naked and on the verge of tears.
Red: "I-I'm not that experienced.. and my body may be disgusting b-b-but.. be gentle.. please!!"
I sigh and grab my old coat and put it over her.
Y/n: "I never meant that when I told you to go to bed. Get something on or sleep that way, I don't care. Go get some rest. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day. I'm not going to sleep"
Red: "B-But-"
Y/n: "Don't worry, I won't be using you for that"
Red cover her eyes with the coat but I could still hear her weeping. I reach out and pat her head a little to comfort her.
Y/n: "Go to bed. You won't ever have to go through something like that aslong as you stick by me"
She nods and leaves. Before she hops onto bed, she runs up to me and gives me a hug.
Red: "Thank you master. I promise I'll be useful to you"
Y/n: "That's good to hear"
She goes to sleep as I look at my bullets. I separate my Origin Bullets from the normal ones. I take a look at my skills and find an interesting one I've unlocked.
Y/n: "Weaponscraft?"
It's a skill that allows me to modify my bullets or weapons to fit whatever situation I need them to serve. It also serves to inspect all weapons along with automatically capable of fixing those damaged.
Y/n: "So.."
I grab one of the bullets for my Thompson's Contender and active my skill. I close my eyes and visualize what I want them to look like. I use my skill to make them into hollow points.
Y/n: "Interesting. Now, I wonder if I could mix a little bit of this?"
I pull out a snake that looked similar to rattlesnake. From what the man who I bought it from said, it also has similar attributes to one. I grab it by it's neck and put enough pressure for it to bare its fangs. I put them up to a tube and press down on it's head to squirt it's venom.
Y/n: "I wonder if it's venom is just as lethal as our rattlesnakes? Could potentially be even more"
After I take out enough for my experiment, I put it back into her bag and get back to my station. I bring the hollow tip to me and drop a bit of the poison into the bullet.
Y/n: "I doubt this will work but I can always make new ones"
I grab the candle and drop some of the wax over it to seal it before using the skill to give it a command. It summons a little blue magic circle under it.
Y/n: "Once the bullet is fired and enters the body or object. The bullet will break and expose the contents inside"
The miniature magic circle accepts the command. I grab it and put it inside my Thompson's Contender and head out.
Y/n: "I got one shot to see if this works"
I find a rabbit running as a big dog is chasing it. I point my gun at the large beast of a dog and focus on my shot.
Y/n: "Now"
I fire my shot and it hits it in the shoulder. It forgets about the rabbit and decides to come after me. I look at it as it charges me. Before it can land a bite, it collapses to the ground. I go over to it and see it struggling to breathe. I take out the knife I had prepared incase the bullet didn't work and stab it into the area where it's heart lies. I kill it instantly and pull my knife out.
Y/n: "So it works huh? This skill could become pretty handy"
I head back inside the shed and continue on my work. After I finished, I now had 800 regular 9mm bullets for my Calico, 66 Origin Bullets, and 68 .223 Remington bullets, 20 of them were injected with the lethal venom from the snake.
Y/n: "*sighs* This was exhausting"
I check the time in my HUB and see that it's almost 5 am.
Y/n: "I'll sleep for a little. I'll wake up in an hour and we'll go hunting"
I turn around to see Red still sleeping.
Irisviel: "The woods, there's something there"
Y/n: "Fuck this, I'm heading out for a bit instead"
I walk out and go over to Muramasa's workplace. I see the weapon he's built for Red on top of a stand.
Y/n: "It's cooling down?"
Muramasa: "I also worked on a bunch of knives I had for you but you can always give them to her"
I find Muramasa sleeping on a chair.
Y/n: "You shouldn't stress yourself so much for us"
Muramasa: "You're a hero kid. I would do it gladly even if you weren't though. I could tell you are special and a good guy"
Y/n: "Well thanks for believing in me so much"
Muramasa: "No problem"
Y/n: "I'm heading out for a bit. I'll leave Red in your care"
Muramasa: "I'll watch over her in your stead then"
Y/n: "Thank you"
I head out into the forest with my Calico and knife. I look for whatever I could hunt as a way to not only train myself but to also bring some food for Muramasa. Not long after I take off, I find some deer and chase after them. I hunt them down for an hour until I gather all the ones I need.
Y/n: "I took a magazine with me. They carry 100 rounds and I ended up using 30 on my hunting.. I had 8 in total leaving me with 770 9mm.. hm?"
I thought I heard something and stay on my guard.
Y/n: "I got 70 rounds and a knife on me. Should it be something large it'll have to die within those 70 rounds or I might just end up dead"
I ready Calico while keeping my knife on my mouth. I pay attention to every noise I hear while keeping my profile as low as possible. I head over to where I heard the noise and find a body down by the river.
Y/n: "A body? Have to keep an eye on everything that moves"
I slowly approach it with caution. Once I get close enough, I notice that it not only isn't human, it's also naked.
Y/n: "The fuck?"
I kneel over next to it while putting Calico on the ground and flip it over.
Y/n: "A.. girl?"
I put my ear over her chest but hear nothing. I check her breathing but sense air flowing.
Y/n: "The hell are you?.. I got to do something anyways"
I take a look at her and use my Weaponcraft skill to see if anything is broken. For some reason, it works which gives me the impression she isn't human.
Y/n: "She isn't human, I know that much.. is she-"
Her eyes open and jumps on me.
Y/n: "Easy, I mean you no harm"
She looks closely at me while pulling down my bandages.
??: "Human. What is your name?"
Y/n: "Y/n"
??: "Y/n.. Yes. Y/n has now entered my database under the registration of master. Thank you for repairing me master"
Y/n: "Master?! The hell are you?!"
She stands up and looks at me.
??: "This Ex-Machina was broken until now. I serve you unconditionally from now on until you decide to discard me"
Y/n: "Ex-Machina? Like in the shows I watched?! The hell are you doing here?"
Ex-Machina: "I was discarded by my pack since I was broken"
Y/n: "Pack? There's more of you?"
Ex-Machina: "Yes"
Y/n: "You say broken but I just finished analyzing you. You have nothing broken other than a little technical issues"
Ex-Machina: "I am broken. I'm curious to know how a heart works"
Y/n: "That's why they threw you away.. guess I ain't the only one who's been thrown out by his people.. how long have you been by yourself?"
Ex-Machina: " I was alone for exactly 100 days, 20 hours, 3 minutes and 42 seconds. I broke down a day ago and was unable to move until you showed up. I now serve you now as a thanks for fixing me master"
Y/n: "*sighs* Great, now I have 2 things to deal with. Well atleast you'll be a good tool to keep around"
Ex-Machina: "I'll do my best to serve whatever role you require me for. My body is yours for you to use however you like master"
Y/n: "Don't make it sound like I'll be using you for perverted things"
Ex-Machina: "This body cannot reproduce but it does have the parts for proc-"
Y/n: "I've heard enough!!"
I look at her and decide to bring her along with me. I make her stay hidden before taking a pair of clothes I found from a nearby that were being displayed.
Y/n: "Here, put these on"
Ex-Machina: "As you wish master"
I turn around to see nobody is watching until she finishes.
Ex-Machina: "I'm done master"
Y/n: "Good. Let's head back to where I stay at"
Ex-Machina: "Will we be indulging in sexual activities?"
Y/n: "What the hell?! Why is everything related to sex with you?"
Ex-Machina: "I wish to know what a heart is. Will sex help me understand what a heart is?"
Y/n: "No!!.. Whatever, let's just go back"
She follows my instructions. When we get back to Muramasa's, I hear a commotion inside.
Y/n: "The hell?! Stick near me.. What's your name?"
Ex-Machina: "I'm merely a tool. I have no name"
Y/n: "I'll give you one later, just stay by me"
I rush in to see Red swinging her sword while Muramasa uses one aswell.
Muramasa: "Good, you are learning well"
Red: "Thank you mister. I have to learn how to wield one to protect my master"
Y/n: "What the hell's going on?!"
They both stop and sheath their weapons as Muramasa comes over to me.
Muramasa: "Just teaching the runt over there how to use a sword. I see yer little harem is growing ey?
Y/n: "Knock it off"
Muramasa: "I joke"
Y/n: "You know how to fight with a sword?"
Muramasa: "Of course. How else do you think I know how to build such powerful swords? I have to know how a sword feels, how a sword swings, the velocity to be able to create the perfect sword"
Y/n: "The perfect sword?"
Muramasa: "That's a story for another day. Anyways, who's the cutie with you?"
Y/n: "She's an Ex-Machina"
Muramasa: "A what?"
Y/n: "A robot in other words"
Muramasa: "Mm. I see, so what's her name"
Ex-Machina: "Master has yet to give me a name"
Muramasa: "Give her a name already!!"
Y/n: "The hell is wrong with you?!"
I think about it before coming up with my answer.
Ex-Machina: "How about Schwarzer?"
