Future book still in the works :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Muramasa: "Well would you look at that?"

We arrive at Muramasa's place from the king's palace after retrieving our prize to find it vandalized and destroyed. Words painted saying traitor, devil's advocate, and inexcusable along with many urges were on his walls.

Muramasa: "Guess they found out I was working with you"

He picks up a broken vase and puts it on a flat surface. We all walk in and see it look far worse on the inside.

Muramasa: "Why did I think I would look better inside? *sighs* Whatever"

He flips the knocked over dinning table and puts the remaining chairs that weren't smashed back up.

Y/n: "Muramasa, I'm-"

Muramasa: "Don't apologize for something that wasn't your fault. I got myself involved and knew what would be the outcome. Besides, it's still holding up well despite the damages, my fireplace is still undamaged. I'll be fine"

I chuck my pouch containing the price money at him.

Muramasa: "Don't. You'll need it"

Y/n: "I want to repay you"

Muramasa: "I told you-"

Y/n: "Not about the mess. Take it for all the other stuff you've done for me"

He looks at the bag of money intently.

Muramasa: "You're going to need this to take care of the girls"

Y/n: "We should be fine without it. Keep it"

Murasama: ".. Fine. You sure you don't need it?"

Y/n: "I have plenty saved from monster hunting"

I take out another bag full of money.

Y/n: "We'll be fine"

Muramasa: "Well, if you say so"

Y/n: "I'm going to go look for Naofumi. I'll be back soon"

Muramasa waves me off as I pick up Illya and take off. The other two follow right behind me as we go looking for my pal. I find him holding an egg.

Y/n: "Naofumi, did you become a mother or something?"

Naofumi: "I could ask you the same thing about Illya. What happened?"

Y/n: "Those church bastards. It doesn't matter now, she's staying with me"

Naofumi: "Whatever you say. I'm supposed to take care of this"

I walk over to Raphtalia and pat her head.

Y/n: "So you'll be taking care of it huh? Good luck with it. You want to go do some hunting?"

Naofumi: "I'd like to. Where are we heading off to?"

Y/n: "A forest nearby. I heard rumors of a large beast there bothering some of the people nearby. It has a heavy bounty on it we can cash in"

Naofumi: "We're splitting it 50/50?"

Y/n: "Of course. Unless I do most the work this time"

Naofumi: "That happened once"

Y/n: "I kid"

Raphtalia: "Um.."

We both look over to Raphtalia who looked slightly flustered.

Raphtalia: "Could you please stop patting my head? You're messing up my hair"

She says shyly. It made me continue.

Y/n: "Cute. I'm going to continue"

Raphtalia: "Mister Y/n!!"

She said embarrassed. Naofumi and I simply chuckle amongst one another as we go to a bar to plan our route up along with any strategies.

Y/n: "You can always create your air shields to help me get up in the air. I'll be using it to get a better glimpse of the enemies.. I'll see if I can activate that skill"

Naofumi: "Skill?"

Y/n: "It helps me stop time for a bit. I can analyze our surroundings and make sure where all the enemies are. From there, you and I can take them out without having to worry of ambushes"

Naofumi: "I can set up shields to guard our blindspots"

Y/n: "Sounds good to me"

Raphtalia: "Will I be coming along?"

Y/n: "Naofumi and I will be going alone"

Red: "Master, I want to come along too"

Schwi: "I'd like to stay by your side as well. I'll be aiding you"

Illya: "I want to come too"

Y/n: "This is meant as a "guy's night out" type of thing. You girls will stay with Raphtalia at a place where we'll stay at for the night. After that, we'll head of to the next wave point or whatever. What do you think Naofumi?"

Naofumi: "Sounds good to me. I could use a little guy time with my best pal"

He says while putting his arm around me.

Y/n: "We can get drunk later if you want"

Naofumi: "Loser pays?"

Y/n: "You do realize I have a gun right?"

Naofumi: "And I have the legendary shield"

Y/n: "I have a submachine gun"

Naofumi: "... Okay, I'll just pay for the drinks"

I nod as the two of us walk into a cavern.

Y/n: "Were looking for a room to stay at, two rooms to be exact"

Naofumi: "Seperate tabs"

He man looks at us in disgust.

Man: "Sorry, we're booked"

Y/n: "The keys behind you say otherwise"

He turns to them and sighs.

Man: "I just don't feel like serving you two"

Illya: "Could we get a room please?"

He looked over at Illya and got real close to her face. I instinctively went for my knife.

Man: "Listen here little dirty girl, I ain't planning on giving you nothing. You can get your little dirty behind back-"

I grab him by the back of the shirt and pull him over to my side and slam his face on the table. I pull my knife out and narrowly cut his face as he looks at the reflection of his eye on the blade.

Y/n: "You don't fuck around with a man's daughter. You insulted my daughter, I'll kill you if you do it again. Now, I'm not asking twice"

Illya: "Papa!!"

I look over to her.

Illya: "Don't hurt him"

I look at her for a second before removing the knife from his face and pushing him back.

Y/n: "You're lucky she's very forgiving of people. I don't"

He fixes his glasses and cleans the blood from his nose. He immediately grabs two keys and hands them over to me.

Man: "I-I-I'm so sorry about that!! Please, have the two rooms on the house!!!"

I hand one over to Naofumi and start heading towards our bedding.

Y/n: "Illya, let's go"

Illya looks at the man and smiles. She bows a little and apologizes to him for my actions. He looks at her leave as a he slides down the wall.

Man: "Illya.. Illya.. that smile"

Man: "Illya.."

He smiled to himself as he looks at the spare keys he had.

Man: "Turning that man in isn't such a bad idea. The shield can go rot for all I care. The other girls are okay but Illya.. that smile she has.. I wish to keep her to myself.. Forever~"

He begins to laugh to himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n: "Alright, Naofumi and I will only be gone for a few hours. When we come back.. we'll probably be drunk out of our ass. I've left Raphtalia with money incase you all get hungry"

Red: "I can take care of the money"

Y/n: "No you can't. Get some food. Raphtalia will be right next door if you 3 need anything"

Schwi: "As you wish it"

Illya: "Come back soon"

Y/n: "Of course"

I rub both Red and Schwi's heads before going up to Illya. I gave her a hug but she pushed my head back.

Illya: "You need to shave"

Y/n: "What?"

Illya: "Your beard is too itchy!!"

Y/n: "Huh?!"

I fell my face and notice the stubble.

Y/n: "Illya, you won't give dad a hug?"

Illya: "No!!"

Y/n: "Gah!!"

I fall to my knees as my only daughter rejects me.

Y/n: "I have failed as a father"

Red: "It's okay master, you'll come back and shave right?"

Y/n: "Yea.. Illya"

Illya: "No"

Y/n: "Just kill me now"

I throw myself to the ground. Illya peeked over to me and suddenly came over to me. She pushed my hair back and gave me a kiss in the forehead.

Illya: "I love you daddy"

I smile and immediately get up and carry her in my arms.

Illya: "Papa!! Your face's still ichy"

She says while smiling.

Y/n: "It doesn't matter. I love you Illya"

Illya: "Me too Papa"

The other two simply smile as Illya and I continue to bond.

Y/n: "Hey. Take care of those two will you?"

Illya: "Of course"

Y/n: "That's my good girl. Behave, the 3 of you"

Red: "Yea, yea, yea. Just go on already. Naofumi will be angry if you don't hurry up"

Y/n: "Alright. I'll see you 3 later okay"

Illya, Red, Schwi: "Bye!!"

I close the door and make my way down the stairs where Naofumi was waiting.

Y/n: "Sorry about the wait bud"

Naofumi: "It's okay. Now, let's go make some money"

Y/n: "Just so that we go out and blow it later"

Naofumi: "Something like that"

Y/n: "I'm down"

We go off to the location where I remembered finding monsters at. Before we leave the city though, I find a set of clothes on sell.

Naofumi: "Y/n?"

Y/n: "Give me a minute. Hey sir, how much for those"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Red: "I'm so hungryyy"

Schwi: "Illya, do those clothes feel comfortable?"

Illya was only wearing a small dress that she was given from the church when Y/n had dropped her off.

Illya: "I'm fine. How about you?"

Schwi: "Master gave me this hoodie. It's nice and comfortable"

Red: "I had mine with me since before I met him. He did give me these boots though. Don't really know why since I'm fine with just running on my feet"

Schwi: "But then your feet will hurt after"

Red: "I guess. Anyways, I'm going to Raphtalia. I want some foood"

Schwi: "Do you care to come along Illya?"

Illya: "Yes"

The two hold hands as they follow Red over to Naofumi and Raphtalia's room.

Raphtalia: "Hello there"

Red: "Hey Raphtalia, I'm hungry. Can we go get something to eat?"

Raphtalia: "Of course. Let's go to the store up ahead"

Illya: "Yay!!"

Schwi: "I'll be hoping the experience is good.. Can we bring mister Muramasa?"

Raphtalia: "The swordsmith?"

Schwi: "Yes. He's always alone other than when Master visits him"

Raphtalia: "I don't really mind"

Red: "Good. Let's go get him!!"

They all take off downstairs.

Man: "Um, excuse me. Illya?"

She stops as the others wait outside.

Illya: "Yes?"

Man: "I just wanted to politely apologize for earlier. I have something for you as an apology"

Illya: "No need for that-"

Man: "Look at her. Such a kind soul"

Man: "I insist. I felt really bad even though you showed me kindness. Please, take this little cash with you. It should help you buy some clothes or food"

Illya: "Um.. okay. I'll gratefully accept it then. I'll be sure to pay back your kindness mister"

She said with a smile.

Man: "You've done more than enough. Here, lend me your hands so that I can give it to you"

She extends her hands as he takes them with one hand and gives her a pouch full of gold coins.

Man: "My god her hands are so small and so soft?!"

He had a joyful smile as Illya looked at the bag surprised.

Illya: "Is this much really necessary?!"

Man: "Of course"

He leaned a little and whispered something in her ear.

Man: "Anything for my little angel"

Illya: "T-Thank you"

She bowed quickly and ran off to the rest. The man was smiling the entire time until his eyes met up with Reds.

Red: "Creep"

She said as she walked behind her.

Red: "Raphtalia"

Raphtalia: "Yes?"

Red: "I have a bad feeling about that guy"

Raphtalia nodded as Schwi and Illya continued ahead as they took off to Murumasas.
