《I miss you Pucca || Garu's story》Final goodbyes
Advertisement
(Pucca's p.o.v)
I get up and notice I'm in my room. I guess Garu must have brought me back. I smile to myself as I imagine Garu carrying me bridal style to my house as I peacefully sleep. I look over at the corner of my room and my smile fades.
Three red suitcases are nearly packed and ready to go. I sigh. I get up and change from my pink onesie to a red dress with black leggings and black flats. I go downstairs and see my uncles' already busy with their cooking. "Ah good morning Pucca!" I wave.
"Oh Pucca, don't be sad..you want to help out with the restaurant right?"
I nod. "Well you have to go to school for it. Like we all did." I look away. I don't want to leave Sooga village. I don't want to leave my friends, and I don't want to leave Garu...
I hug my uncle Ho. "We'll miss you Pucca.."
I know I haven't spoken since Garu chose to do his vow of silence but... "I-I'll miss you too..." They all smile as they hear my voice for the first and final time in months.
"I'll go and say my final goodbyes to everyone.."
They nod and watch as I leave the kitchen.
I exit Goh Rong and head to Abyo's as it's the closest. I knock on his door. No answer. I knock again. Bruce opens the door. "Oh Pucca. Are you looking for Abyo, over."
"Yeah...is he home...?"
"Sorry, he's out with Ching, over."
"Ok..thank you!" I rush away.
I go to Ching's place, they might be having some tea. I knock on the door. Ching pops her head out. "oh hey Pucca-! What's wrong?"
"C-can you and Abyo come outside please...?"
"Sure." She pushes the door open and she calls for Abyo. Abyo comes outside looking at me and Ching.
"So...um...I didn't tell you guys this but I'm leaving Sooga Village.." they gasp. "WHAT!?"

"Pucca why!?"
"I'm going to a school...so I can help my uncles' with their restaurant."
"Awe..that's nice..when are you leaving?"
"Um...in an hour..." Their eyes widen. "WHAT!?"
"yeah...sorry I didn't say anything before...."
Ching hugs me. "We'll miss you..."
"Yeah...we'll miss you, and how you chase Garu..."
"Speaking of.. did you tell him yet..?"
I shake my head. "Oh! You better hurry then!" I nod and wave goodbye. They wave back as I head towards Garu's.
(Garu's p.o.v)
I walk outside of my small house, I didn't plan on cooking but I did. I got to lazy to go to Goh Rong today, and I wanted some peace and quiet as I ate. Suddenly I hear someone running. I grab my sword. I see Pucca in the distance. Oh no. I get ready to run.
"DON'T RUN!"
I look around. "Garu! Don't run! Please!"
I look at Pucca. Did she just speak...!?
Her voice was soothing but what's going on?
She stops infront of me. She smiles for a second but then that smile fades. She hugs me crying. I hug back and Pat her back.
"I-I'm sorry..." I look at her confused. "I'm sorry for what I did...for chasing you and annoying you.." she backs away. "So...I came here to say goodbye..." She looks at me and quickly kisses my cheek. She turns away and runs off. I smile.
Am I going to be Pucca free now!? HECK YEAH!!!
I enter my house smiling like an idiot.
I lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling with Mio beside me. Suddenly I hear knocking on my door. I get up and open it. Ching stands there crying. "G-Garu...why are you still here let's go!" I tilt my head to the side. "Didn't Pucca say goodbye!?" I slowly nod. What does she mean..?
"Pucca's leaving Sooga Village!" My eyes widen. That's why she was crying! I grab Ching by the hand and run towards the noise. A crowd of people surround a plane. I push through trying to get a good view of Pucca. I see her getting on the plane as she waves at everyone. She spotted me. She looks away and frowns. She turns around and enters the plane. She takes her seat which we can still see her at. She looks out the window and she blows a kiss. Waving goodbye to everyone. We all wave goodbye.

My smile slowly fading. I'm Pucca free but my friend moved away...
She made my days interesting. At least I'll be at peace. I sigh and smile to myself. I look at her uncles'. "Oh Garu! You came! We didn't think you would want to see her go."
"Especially after the way she treated you. She loved you like there was no tomorrow."
I nod, I mean I can't argue with that statement. She would chase me around hug me and kiss me as if I were to just disappear one day. It was nice to know she cares but I didn't need to be showered in affection every damn day. It got annoying very quickly.
I head back home knowing my days are Pucca free. I hum to myself as silence dances around me. All I hear is myself whistling.
Ching and Abyo behind me. "How can you be so happy!? OUR FRIEND JUST LEFT!"
My smile fades, I mean yeah I'm sad that she left and all but My life will be Pucca free.
"It's because no one will bother him. Ching he does miss Pucca as a friend but he's happy about him peace and quiet."
"That's stupid."
I shrug as I continue walking. Only person to bother me now is To-
"Hello Garu."
Speak of the devil.
"I'm here for my vengeance! Now that your girlfriend isn't here to protect you!"
I pull out my sword and roll my eyes at this guy. Doesn't he get that he can't defeat me. He's worse than Abyo. Seriously.
"NINJAS ATTACK!!"
His ninjas run towards me. Swords in hand they all swing at once my only choice is to jump. I land out of their circle and suddenly their clothes rip. I can't help but chuckle.
Tobe sighs. "Do I have to do everything myself!?"
He charges towards me. I begin to remember how Pucca would fight Tobe. Since Tobe reminded me of a bull. I somehow changed my clothes to one of those bull fighting ones. I hold a red clothe. I smirk. This will be fun.
He runs through the clothe. I guess Ching and Abyo saw this because they started yelling, "OLAY!"
He turns around and charges again. And again through the clothe. "OLAY!" They begin to laugh.
Ok. Last time and I'll let him carry the clothe.
He turns his face like a tomato, awe he mad. Haha. He runs faster towards me. Once he makes contact with the clothe I let it go.
"GET THIS OFF OF ME!!!"
Everyone laughs. I punch and kick. And for once I kick throws his far. Like Pucca's punches. I smiled at myself. I guess Pucca taught me a few things.
Suddenly my clothes change back to normal.
That's really cool. Ching and Abyo run up to me. "GARU THAT WAS AMAZING! WHERE DOD YOU LEARN THAT FROM!?"
"You should tell my father!"
I learned it from Pucca..but I can't say that. So I shrug. And I nod at Ching. I head home and search for Mio. Mio was on the roof, with his beloved Yani. I get on the roof, careful not to trigger anything. After the traps incident I haven't allowed my friends to enter my house. But yet Pucca always found a way in.
Wait, why am I thinking of Pucca!? I shake my head. Stop thinking about her!
I sigh. No use.
Pucca has taught me some things. Either good or bad, that's how I was able to beat Tobe today.
I get closer to Mio and Yani. Mio jumps on my head and meows. Yani carefully walks off the roof. I jump off and head to Goh Rong with Yani being my guide.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Title Pending Adventures of Jackson and Barbara in another world!
Jackson Ripper is transported with his class to another world. As one would expect, they are asked to fight in a pending war, much to Jackson's distain. But, a month after arriving he is separated from the rest of his classmates and loses an arm and a leg. Worse yet, the person who mutilated him clings to his side. Now, he begins travelling with this walking natural disaster in a strange new world. Author notes: This is a story I started writing roughly two years ago (roughly 2017) on a whim and started using it to improve my writing skills. As such, it's mostly wish fulfillment based loosely on anime, light/web novels and comics. But wait, why post my strange, gruesome dream world on the internet? Because, I have a goal of one day writing something worth publishing. But to reach that goal, I need criticism, suggestion and advice. Plus it feels like a waste to keep this beauty all to myself. I currently plan to release one chapter a week, on Saturday afternoon or evening.
