《》Cinco De Mayo
Advertisement
For my non-American friends, we have this little old holiday in the States on the fifth of May called Cinco De Mayo. It's of particular significance to our Mexican-American population, but pretty much comes in a close second to St. Patrick's Day in terms of a good excuse to get unapologetically lit. Even those without a drop of Latinx blood like to celebrate.
Including.....ALL YOUR FAVORITE BOYS!
Verdad? Por que no!
*Also, almost forgot! May 5 is Gon's birthday! Whee
-"They're going to tell us we can't go party with them, again," grumbles Gon
-"Sure we can," says Killua. "We'll just say we're going for the food"
-He picks up his phone and punches in a number. "Illumi," he says. "Can we come to El Queso Grande with you guys tonight? Just for the tacos and the music. Please?"
-He hangs up. "He says yes, but if we order any margaritas they have to be virgin and he's going to check them personally"
-"Sure" (wink)
-"Sure" (wink, wink)
-Isn't much for holidays that center around alcohol, particularly tequila
-"Oh don't be such a poop," says Leorio. "Throw that tabard on, it'll look good with a sombrero"
-Kurapika goes to his laptop and does a little research. "Did you know that Cinco de Mayo celebrates the date of the Mexican army's May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War?"
-"Well fuck," says Leorio. "I guess I know it now"
-When they get to the restaurant, he promptly orders a few pitchers of margaritas for the table and a bunch of combination plates to nibble on. "The hot salsa, primo, none of that pussy shit," he tells the server
-"Here's our chance!" whispers Gon to Killua. They surreptitiously stick straws into the pitchers and suck when Illumi isn't looking

-Leorio waves the server over. "A Dos Equis for my non-tequila-drinking friend over here," he says grandly. "Por favor. Muchos gracias."
-"Thanks," says Kurapika. "I have an early day tomorrow. Can I get some ceviche, too, please?"
-The mariachi band starts playing and a few people begin to dance. Leorio is out there like a shot, doing some sort of Despacito-style groove
-Little rich Illumi tells the server he wants to buy a whole bottle of tequila, the really good silver Patreon or whatever it's called kind
-It's presented to him with a flourish and a couple of salt-rimmed shot glasses
-Illumi downs a shot, then snickers. "Look," he says to Hisoka. "There's a worm in the bottom of it. I'll give you a hundred million jenny if you eat it"
-Hisoka does a shot and snickers back. "Darling. I'll give you a hundred million jenny to eat my worm instead, baby. Chupar mi gusano, papi"
-Illumi glances down the table. "Killua," he says, warningly. "What are the two of you drinking?"
-"It's just Cokes, Ill," says Killua. "Can we go hit the pinata now?"
-Hisoka leers. "Yeah. I want to see that. Oh," he says, in surprise. "Speaking of fucking shit up and breaking it to pieces. Where is Chrollo?"
-They FaceTime him to find out why he's not there
-He answers the FaceTime and is calmly sitting in a chair reading something
-"Oh, you all are so uncultured and juvenile. In honor of the occasion, I thought I'd stay home and read a little Cervantes," he says, flashing his book at the screen. It's Don Quixote
-"Miguel Cervantes isn't even Mexican, you dipshit," howls Leorio, pouring a shot from Illumi's tequila bottle
-"Reading a book about riding around on a jackass and sticking swords into imaginary things is right along the lines of my expectations for you, Danchou," coos Hisoka

-Feitan shows up on his own and by the time he gets there, everyone is pretty much useless
-He examines Illumi's tequila bottle, which is empty by now, except for the worm
-Curious, he shakes it out, then puts it in his mouth and eats it. It's gross. He takes a lime wedge and squirts it promptly down his throat as a chaser
-Looking over, he sees a tipsy Gon and Killua watching him, hands over their mouths, trying to hold back drunken giggles
-"You too cocky," he says, sternly
-Arrives even later than Feitan
-Sits down and mows all the leftover food, including Kurapika's barely touched ceviche
-He notices Gon and Killua passed out and snoring under the pinata
-"Hey, Zoldyck," he addresses Illumi. "Give me a hundred million jenny and I'll drive these little hooligans home for you"

He knew of the dangers and ancient magics that this unrelenting land holds. He knew of ancient kingdoms long lost, buried by the sands. He knew of the strange in-human inhabitants, the true masters of The Great Desert seeking to expand their dominion and drive humanity to the edges of the world. When he is offered the chance to learn magic from a master, Omid agrees eagerly at the chance to discover such ancient arts, and to even dream of defending against a hostile world and all that would claim to rule it.

Human in a Demon's Hide
I had recently enrolled in the military as a lowly footsoldier. Oh, before you could proceed any further, let me tell you about myself. I ain’t some patriotic soldier that’ll lay down my life for the sake of my country. Hell no! That shit is for the people with loose screws! I had only a few goals when I joined the army: March into battle, kick ass, and earn me some cash! Achieving glory on the way wouldn’t hurt. I just need the money to feed my little brother and sister. Their world is all I want to protect. The glory is for washing clean the stains that my father left on the family name. We became such a joke in the country that our mother abandoned us. I don’t know if he really did betray the country, but I don’t care. For my little siblings to suffer the same mockery and humiliation that I did is unacceptable! To protect the smiles of my only family, I would do anything. Yet, life knows to shit on you when things are just getting good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, author-san here!This is my first story, set up in a fantasy world. It's based on the medieval and steam era where magic is rare and alchemy is used widely used as a weapon by people. There would be lots of action, adventure, betrayal, tragedy, romance, etc. ahead. Warnings-The mc is a bit mean and foul-mouthed, introvert. There would be strong language and lots of monologue narration by the MC. The stories are fast-paced and progressing faster. The chapters update would be unstable, depending on my daily life. You would get fast updates... or slow.Also, English isn't my first language. So don't expect perfect grammar :( P.S. - I would like some constructive critique and feedback!It fills my motivation gauge and increases that rate of chapter/week. (/>3
