Chapter 5 - Trouble at the Alley

...Half an hour later Zunisha gave the inhabitants it's blessing called "Eruption Rain" for the second and last time, Zunisha in his Millennium year life keeps on doing for twice per day.

Another hour later Claire woken up with no visible injury nor internal injuries in her body, not only that she felt an refreshing feeling over her body and an overflowing new strength, in short her physique itself repair her body, it replace dead cells with newly regenerated cells, all fractures in her bones turn to dust then forcibly used her life force to build a new stronger and durable yet flexible bones, even the deformed bones wasn't spared from it not only that but including her nerves got the same treatment.

The treatment itself was in fact the most dangerous that Claire was currently unaware of or maybe in the future she'll find out that it was her enlightenment that kept her life.

No, it was something hidden within her that save her life that will be...

With a lost expression in her face Claire said "Where am I...oh I remember now" she facepalm before fully finishing her sentence. Making it hard for the Author to type nor write more than One Thousand eight hundred words. remembering that she fell down with just one attack only and atleast hurt her little pride, even though that's the case she just accepted it readily.

'I hope my System had a Store fill to the brim...Yet nevermind' trying to forget such thing is impossible Claire thought not showing her frustration to everyone.

"Good mor- afternoon Uncle, Wanda-nee, Brother Pedro, Doctor and all nurse who tend to me thank you! ...uhh.. how long did I sleep" With a polite greetings to everyone except a certain lion on the side she asks them in order to be certain on her conjecture that she slept more than a month in her mind.

Dr. Miyagi just showed one finger made Claire happy that her recovery rate is unimaginably fast... then he said "One hour and Thirty minutes today this afternoon you woke up so fast Claire" while smiling.

"Huh?" a visible confusion was completely written on her face and Wanda continued in Doctor Miyagi's stead "Yes Claire, your so amazing" she laughed then continue to say "Amongst the history of our tribe you had the fastest recovery rate, well it might be due to you being a child but a bit different than a child... still your incredible..." with countless praises and more voice kept on till Claire couldn't think straight anymore nor hear what they are saying with a blank look and her inner turmoil rising and roiling emotions running at full throttle and driven by a sea of thousand alpacas in a muddy swamp.

'huh I'm a human right? why the hell I have this ridiculous recovery rate' in those broken thought she forgotten one fact, a fact that she's not human anymore but a Mink with no furr at all.

Startled she suddenly remembered that there's an outsider present and lo and behold a standing freaking big lion in the corner with a shade.

Nodding to her mind and goosebumps crawled into her skin, Yup seeing a talking lion made feel scared on her human mind.

'Wha-wha-wa waaaa a Lion a big lion's going to eat me alive' her fear steadily grows and 'wait he's a mink right' nodding in her mind and forcibly calming her fast beating heart she thought 'Minks is a diverse race' she chanted like a mantra in her mind countless times.

Sighing at her inner turmoil she politely greet the Lion "Good afternoon sir, who might you be?".

Snorting he replied to her with disdain "Why the hell do I have to introduce myself to a shrimp like you, Just because Sir Inuarashi Kōshaku is here you can act so cocky to me GAO!".

Not expecting such rude response Claire grew angry and felt the urge to punch that cocky Lion's face to kiss the floor as a doormat.

"Your not my match weakling" with a snort she provoke the latter completely calm and now focused at the lion.

When the dispute was about to broke in a fight Pedro both make them shut up "Pekoms your older than her so act at your age" then at Claire "Claire stop provoking him and respect your elders, did you all get what I wanted to say?".

"Yes loud and clear Brother Pedro" replied the two in dispute. sighing at the spectacle Pedro said "Sir Inuarashi Kōshaku please forgive them" while kneeling in one knee to the floor and bowed head.

In great benevolence Inuarashi said "Stand up Pedro, they're just little kids having some little fight is fine and they're quite lively too" replied to him and laughed not annoyed at all but enjoy the interesting spectacle happening in amusement.

Whoever they are in the room or what is there profession, hearing it personally from the Ruler of The Day's mouth was a shocking revelation to them.

Pekoms hearing it from the Ruler personally that he the king amongst ruffians in Mokomo Dukedom was treated as a kid struck a blow to his confidence and pride as a warrior was reduced to smithereens.

A flower in hand Pekoms in the corner crouching and hearing his murmuring voice and the petals falling one by one in floor "a kid...I'm just a kid not a warrior... a warrior I'm just a warrior not a kid" in vice versa till all petals had fallen, he stand up and head to the window staring at somewhere. A place where his soul should rest.

Everyone just stare at him... till he got on his feet and said "Is there something wrong in my face GAO?" for everyone staring at him.

Confirming that he's back to reality Pedro gave Pekoms a glance and the latter face Claire "I am Pekoms a warrior of the Mink Tribe, from now on you'll be my subordinate Gao" with that he coolly sat on a stool like a young master in those certain novels that all readers know and aware of such tropes, especially face-saving and face-slapping novel.

Hearing such bold words Claire replied "I am Claire, please to meet you Mr. Lion" smiling like an angel unaffected by mortal dust on some lower world.

"I see so you agreed to be my minion gao" please with what he said Pekoms was happy about it.

"Sorry to break your reverie Mr. lion but...Your strength is so insignificant to be my boss, Please look at the mirror if you're worthy" yawning Claire shot her gun through words to Pekoms.

"Nani!!? I'm giving you that position for your own protection you little shrimp GAO!" in shock he fought back.

"Is little shrimp all you can say to me, oh please be more mindful Mr. lion at the very least go back and read some books instead of playing some little gang game" Claire lazily stretch her body while saying those words for Pekoms.

"Agggh..kk.k-kkk... tch! Gao! stop your sophistries, as expected of my minion is so smart with such a capable subordinate no one can beat me Gao" giving up on a losing fight Pekoms knew if he continue...no choice but he had to read a book no matter how much he hated reading books.

"Then let me reiterate, it's nice to meet you brother Pekoms" smiling at him reveling in her little victory.

"and...I'm sorry please forgive me..I I'm being rude to you so let me say this again please forgive me" she said with sincerity in her tone and her eyes spoke volumes.

"Nah it's fine don't sweat it" feeling better at her words Pekoms as an benevolent man and warrior accepted Claire's apologies and became friends that day.

Inuarashi smile at the spectacle between his subjects conversation and remember a certain someone but.. thinking of that someone still royally pissed him off.

Sighing in annoyance for a bit he reverted back to his normal old self he said to Claire calmly "Claire the training ends here and tomorrow we will resume your training got it" hearing the bell coming from heaven Claire nodded and reply enthusiastically "Umm, Thank you Uncle and don't ditch your duties ok bye!".

Hearing such enthusiasm in her voice Inuarashi couldn't help but his eyebrows twitch especially mentioning the word 'Ditching work' making him lose face in front of his subjects present on the scene of the crime. but he just let it go like a benevolent and righteous person. he left the group peacefully while unaffected a bit by what Claire said to him.

Leaving an Imperial Sword in Claire's possession, she spoke "Big brother Pedro and Pekoms let's play, you too Wanda-nee, ahh I forget something...what is it again..hmm..oh! I remember Big bro Pedro where's Big bro Zepo? I wanna see his younger brother pretty please" in a cutesy manner and with pleading expression on her face, while stars twinkling in her eyes to increase her chances of success.

"Ahahahahh sure let's meet them together" Pedro replied in everyone's behalf and Claire thanked the doctor and his assistants for tending on her.

"oh, you can come here again Claire if you want to learn some knowledge about making medicines and how to cure it ok, see you next time everyone bye!" Doctor Miyagi reply eagerly awaiting Claire's return if she wants to be his apprentice herself.

Later, outside the entrance door of Medical Clinic in kurau City Wanda said "sorry Claire but I almost forgotten that I had duties to do and aid the Ruler, I'm sorry Claire that I can't accompany you so please be safe ok and Captain Pedro please" pleading to Pedro the latter nodded and Claire nodded in understanding to Wanda, making the latter happy and left together with Wany.

seeing her off on her way waving hands saying goodbye and see you later's, the group of three Minks started walking in paved walkways along the streets.

such a get-up in Mokomo Dukedom is quite rare except that the most famous in the entire Zou isn't the Rulers but a little child named Claire, a rare specimen of breeding between Minks. an unprecedented first time in it's millennium history.

Soon the news of her ridiculously fast recovery became known by all Minks present in Zou in shock, awe and dumbfoundedly talk to each other while those who are near the three got annoyed soon, while Pekoms almost swear out loud and scare some cowardly minks, Pedro soon led them to where Zepo lives with his family.

But before they continue, the little girl in their group stopped walking and said horrified "M-m-m..my clothes... wait guys I'll be back!!!" and quickly turn around and ran as fast as she can using Soru all the way back at the Medical Clinic, leaving both adults alone blankly staring at the figure in the distance like a breeze.

"Brother Pedro, she's fast, super fast...I mean nah nevermind gao~" Pekoms said in an downcast expression, "Umm, she's an very fierce child a monstrous one at that but at the end of the day she's still a child...only the elders can raise her into a good person, so we'll wait for her here...oh let's sit down there" Captain Pedro said while patting Pekoms shoulder consoling him and himself at the same manner in his mind, along the way he look at his surrounding and find a long bench to sit on and invite Pekoms so they can rest and wait for Claire's return.

Meanwhile, leaving a trail of wind in her back, Claire's was madly rushing at extreme speed and reached her destination in less than 18 seconds, since they already walked quite far...

At the front of the building Claire was discovered by some of the workers on duties and seeing her gasping for breathe and returning here they invited her in and was given with fresh water bottle by some workers and she sat for a bit while saying thanks for letting her in even though she just left and they laughed it off good naturedly and goes back to there job.

"Ah~...this is embarrassing...oh I had to asked Doctor Miyagi or his assistants about my clothing if they washed it...I'll take it with me" nodding to herself, she stand up and started walking to the room where the doctor is but before she got to she was stopped by Tristan holding her folded clothes clean and fresh with her hat on top of it.

"Ah! Claire I'm about too look for you, I dried it up after it was cleaned" the Squirrel female Mink named Tristan said smiling at Claire.

'How! what kind of sorcery is this!? is she a magician wait...' seeing the silent little girl in front of her she couldn't help but giggle and just point her index finger sparkling and the little girl blankly gaze at her in shock 'Whaaaa! what kind of ridiculous control is that... Umm I decided that I'll surpass that level too' while in her inner mind she thought with another goal and ambition in her mind.

After all you can use electro to boil water too right and the germs living in it will be boiled to death too.

Interestingly that's just one of Electro's applications and it had lots of others to play with.

But unfortunately she didn't know how to make batteries nor remember what resources are needed to make it, lastly her system is useless.

What's the point of having a system if it didn't had a shop or store nor trade at all, it only had a simple status screen, inventory, is there any? yup none at all. Except that her inventory can take a living breathing person awake and unconscious or dead person but that will happen in the future.

If I the Author decided to use the legendary forbidden technique called "Time-Skip" and start Claire's journey and explaining what happen during time skip.

Enough with the annoying Author's rants let's resume Claire's story.

"here Claire take it" Tristan said smiling while giving her clothes back the latter replied to her "Thank you big sister Tristan" and bow her head in appreciation but before she left and go back to the guys waiting for her. Tristan said "Oh Doctor Miyagi said that if you wanted to learn something from him, you can come here again and visit, Your welcomed here Claire and it will always be open for you. Bye!" hearing those message coming from the Doctor himself Claire enthusiastically agree and nodded then said their goodbye but before that she quickly goes and run to the comfort room and changed back to her normal clothes she used in her training and look like a little angel and being praised by Tristan along the way after that little drama Claire left the building and used Soru while sprinting happily back to the group.

Along the way she experienced countless 'Garchu' in her perilous journey, dodging and hiding in alleyways and rooftops in fear of being snuggle by the furries just the thought of it made her shudder.

Even though she knows that they wouldn't hurt her at all, after all all of them are friendly and good-naturedly tease her.

She couldn't even forced her way out of her situation and in fear of hurting them unreasonably while struggling to escape from their clutches.

Along the way in her perilous journey she overheard some fight and couldn't help but be curious and eavesdrop in their conversation and hidden herself on some hiding spot.

*Kachak* *bang* 'punching and kicking sounds' was heard then an unruly voice of a young male together with his group of 5 was bullying someone lying in the floor "Hoy little bear, why are you so weak compared to your big brother hah!? your such a weak piece of crap a dreg like a mouse in sewers HAHAHAHAHAHAH" they laughed and continued raining punches and kicks to their poor target.

Hearing the key words 'little bear' and 'big brother' Claire moved closer and see's the figure of a white bear mink lying in the ground filled with bruises and some cut skins trickling blood while crying "s... stop..d-d-... don't please... help".

One of the kid with a feature of Otter that seems to be the leader of the group continued to mock the bear "Huh!? did you say something *kick* hey! I can't hear you! *kick in the guts* hey guys look at this poop is he even a mink. *laughter*" in a sadistic way and continued ridiculing the poor bear and reveling in happiness, and the other guy whose feature is an Ox took a long pipe and hit the bear in his side with full strength while spitting on the Bear's face and said "Hahahahah! your right boss this guy is so meek the heck huh~ just what kind of useless crap he is".

More words are casually thrown but the last words of the Otter totally enraged Claire "Hey guys! *laughs sinisterly* no one else is here anyway, how about we fed this bear as nutrients to the Blood-Sucking Bee's" and the entire group laugh in amusement and agreed to do it.

When the bear heard such evil intentions coming from a fellow mink of his peers made him terrified, his heart turned cold and was about to give up his life but then someone appears 'is she a part of their group...no I..I don't want to die...I want to live... someone please... someone save me' in his mind while his heart was about to be swallowed by darkness. Hope a little bit of hope was left hanging by a thread.

Stepping out of her hiding spot Claire whom showed up in the groups eyes was as normal as it can be.

Under the shade of her straw hat, Claire's eyes are like the famous Calm Belt itself where Sea Kings lived and trives.

When the leader saw who arrived he couldn't help but laugh and said "Oh~ tsk tsk tsk, well, well, well if isn't the famous little star of our tribe. *sinister smirk* ahh guys what should we do we've been found out, let's beat her up too" laughing he commands his group to attack Claire without regards of the consequences of doing such deeds.

Without caring for his condition the bear shouted "Run!! please just Run!!! forget about me just go away! Kuma."

"Huh!! you dare to shout. I see it seems that you wanted to die early" the Otter said in his righteous anger.

Claire hearing their conversation made her silent a bit and said "Don't worry about me, this weaklings...No they're not warriors but pebbles in the sidelines, I will save you so rest easy there, this Young Lady will beat them all without a sweat" with consoling and caring tone in her voice and changed to how a cultured young lady beat up an army on her own.

Her first line sentence got them in the first half making them proud but the latter half made them angry so hard that they all attack Claire.

"You piece of stupid little nailshrimp! I'll kill you and feed you to the Blood-Sucking Bee's and take your bones out as sign of my trophy as a true born warrior" the Otter said in reply to Claire in his prideful tone and revealing his dark thoughts.

the entire group moves in succession like how amateur fight while they use electro channelling it to whatever steel weapons they find with an intense murderous desire to kill.
