Chapter 8 - The Rescue

PART 1

—Kazee's Perspective—

"GAAAAAH!"

"!"

Waaaaaaah! They're all after me! I've done nothing yet! So why chase me? I ran behind Kenshin's friend

*SWIIIISH! SWOOOOSH!*

It's fast! I never saw anything! Everybody almost got wipeout in just one sway of his claws. Kenshin's wearing that headphone again, and the wolf's movement follows what he does like it was his shadow. Wow! I've never... heard of... Just two people.... taking out a whole band of larcenists.

"But they might be able to do it..!" I whispered in enthusiasm

I softly touched his left foot. It was warm! You'll eventually feel safe around this guy. Huh! Kenshin's friend is very reliable

"Ahhhhhh..!! No, Milady..!! Don't touch Eisenheim!!!"

Huh!? I suddenly look at Kenshin, his eyes are widening, and his face became very anxious.

"Eh?"

Kenshin's friend...

He.. fell?

"EHHHHH!?"

It was shaking? I—I ha—ven't done anything. Wh—wha—t ha—ppened—?

"Oh, nooooo!"

I just touch him gently! Was it wrong?

"Why!?" I rebutted

"Eisenheim was cursed; Gynophobia— Fear of Woman."

Ehhhhhh!? This strong friend of him... I—is afraid of woman!?

"So, if a woman touches him, he faints." He explained

PART 2

Who was his enemy? His curse is very— Unbelievable! Was his friend a pervert too? Just like him? That's why he was punished and never had a chance to touch females again!? His face, it's serious. I never saw him in that way

*RUSTLE! RUSTLE!*

"Give back Eisenheim's pure heart!!"

O_o

Waaaaaaah!

Kenshin rapidly runs towards me. He throws light punches to my shoulder

I was dumbfounded

"H—how is this my fault!?"

I hold his head to stop his damn useless punches on me

Hmph! Stupid!

I crossed my arms after throwing him away from me

"Now, he can't move!!" Kenshin shouted in despair

It looks like the end of the world for him. He suddenly rolls over here and there. Yapping here, yapping there

"HA! HA! HA! It's over. Die, you damn brat!" Devorl shouted

Tsk! Aw! Man! Kenshin's friend, you got to come back here. Devorl archers focus their arrows on Kenshin

"It's not over yet. Eisenheim's still strong even when he can't move!"

He's determined! Aw! He hardly shakes the headphone

Yet nothing happened. No screeching of sound

Not this time, please! We're surrounded by these devils! I don't want to die!

I still have a score to settle...

With Caiti...

"!"

What!?

Kenshin threw the headphone away!

What are you doing, brat!?

D*MN YOU KID!

Tsk!

*KA-CHK!*

I stood and unsheathe my katana

"HA! HA! HA! He threw away the Holy Relic now that it's of no use to him!!" Devorl's barbarians charged towards him

"Kenshin!" I immediately dashed towards him and not just as second passed

"Huh!?" Kenshin raised his right arm and pointed at the sky

"...?" Devorl got curious about what Kenshin is up to

"Waaaaaaaaaaaah!"

All of us got shocked seeing a large wolf was dropped from above

Whoa! He's something in his sleeve, huh? His face is beaming with a smile

PART 3

—Kenshin's Perspective—

Eisenheim needs to be away from ladies, but I can't just leave her. Then a plan hit me.

*HEH HEH*

I threw the Holy Relic above us. I threw it as hard as I can Then, any minute now, he will appear. I'll just have to wait for it

*BbooOOMMMM!*

Woah! Everybody's foot got stuck in the ground. They never had the chance to run. Eisenheim smashed every larcenist around

—FLASHBACK—

『Castle of Yeuna, Necropolis』

"You really want that?"

"..."

"Even though you could have unattainable fame, unlimited wealth, or eternal life?"

I stare at him. Naaaaaah! What were you thinking, Eisenheim? Huh? I'd lived for 14 years here in the Garden with nothing but you.

It was because of you! What I need is you!

"Yeah! That's what I want. That's my one and only will!"

I smile at him in bliss. I raised my right arm, trying to reach him

"Be my friend!"

^.^

~♪♪♪"Just like an answered prayer

You make the loneliness easy to bear"♪♪♪~

***

I watch everyone rejoicing; they're all running towards Kazee. Now, then! I'll leave the rest to you, Milady!

Ohhh? This is...

When I was walking around. I noticed some artifacts in the trailer. I sat with my knees on my chest, and I poured a little bit of Mana each one of them to check if it belongs to the Holy Gardens.

Well, no use, nothing happened.

"Hmm, it's not here..." I stood and went to others to bid my farewell

"Oh?"

"See you, Milady!"

"If you find something with a celestial living in it...

..Be careful because celestial can be cowards."

I happily greeted them. I also said my farewell; was that fair. HAHAHA, I don't know how farewell works.

PART 4

*SIGH*

I'm gonna miss that woman! I never had the chance to touch her soft~ Fufufuuu~ Naaaaaah! Speaking of which, I wish to see you sooner! Well, you're my favorite person!

Lucky for me, there's a passing flying carpet, so I hopped on it. It was a 10 meters by 6 meters thick woolen coverlet imbued with wind magic. Its design is very similar to a horse-drawn carriage, the difference is it doesn't have a horse, but it has a rein attached to the frontal corner of the carpet.

I guess I'd be on my own now, but Caiti and her father hardly insist on paying for my ride, and the flying carpet started to move upwards.

"With that scary face of yours!! Make sure not to scare them.."

*GIGGLES!*

Hahahahaha! I'll sure miss her! She's wonderful!

>,<

In the end, I pulled a joke at her. It'll be the first and last. Even if how strong her kicks are, with this height! She'll nev—

"!"

—or so I thought

*THUMP!*

Ouch! When I opened my eyes, I saw it again, that right foot that was tremendously flying towards me.

What a strength! She can jump that high!?

*SIGH*

It can't be helped! It was so fast! It can't be avoided, you see.

"WH—what are you do—doing?"

"Well, Caiti and I had decided. We're going to pursue our dreams."

Ohhh!

"So, what's your dream?"

"The gates! And I'll have money!"

*DREAM! DREAM!*

*GLINT!*

Still determined! Hmm! I'm challenged!

"Do you like money, Kazee?"

"Yeah, I need money."

"Enough to buy a country at that. No! To make my own country!"

"As long as you have money, you can buy anything! As much delicious food as you can eat"

"Woah! Delicious food!"

I think I'm drooling while imagining so much food at my table

*GULP!*

"As long as you have money, you'll be popular."

I was rolling my body in joy. Deym! I can't help it! I love food!

*CHUCKLES!*

"Oh gosh! My mind can't take it!" I giggles

*THUD!*

Awww!

"Puff! Puff!"

*Ngggh!*

"What were you doing!? You damn pervert kid!"

*THUD! THUMP!*

"Hey!"

It was an accident, Milady. I didn't mean it.

Fufuu~ I sighed. Though there's no such thing as an accident. Why was that word even put into dictionaries?

Nevertheless, I feel like my life is getting shorter.

-,-

I didn't see that my feelings got into me! My bad! I accidentally bumped into the driver.

"Sorry, sorry!" I apologized while smiling gently and when I open my eyes widely...

She's a small girl—

Slim girl with a metallic grey-colored, shoulder-length, messy ponytail hair, there're strands of hair untied and slightly covering her nape.

She has lovely, half-closed, round-magenta eyes and unique, long, curvy thick reddish eyelashes with a perfect eyeshadow. She has a pointed nose and beautiful plump cheeks. Her delicate upward eyebrows and fringe bangs that cover her forehead up to her eyebrows suit her beauty.

She's wearing a thick purple wool, fur lapel, double-breasted capelet trench coat. A smooth look and wear over a thin-fit top and base to show a more ladylike outline. It would appear an excellent hide, delicate, agreeable, warm, vast, and profound hood with fur lining and fabulous shading trim. Winter Overcoat, exemplary and essential, make shocking bends, makes her more delightful and exquisite.

It has a fitted horn shape, type A skirt, covered-up pockets, flexible belt, and front twofold fastens and fastens on the sleeves and back. This girl looks stunning and fickle by the last state of the comfortable coat. The most significant is the meager impact is more explicit. She also wears a traditional matt silver hip belt that secures a two-piece thick metallic gray cape at her lower back, gradually blended with slate and graphite color.

She's wearing military-propelled thigh-high boots! Semi-stretchy, closed-toe metallic-ash gray highlight smooth nylon development with veggie lover cowhide trim and coordinating with bowknot, and Velcro lashes on the vamp, lower leg, calf, and thigh. The over-the-knee design is complete with an adjustable lace-up front and a rear zip closure. Flat boots are finished with a low heel and a ridged sole. It perfectly fits in her legs though it is a bit loose on her thigh.

On her left wrist is a winter vampire cuff with a silver-plated cameo and red glass crystals - Snow white cuff, Victorian V. While she's wearing a mini bee, fingerless, stud metal skull with chain cycling, rock gothic, punk style, black wool gloves on her right hand.

I was star-struck! I've never been stunned this way

She's! Damn beautiful!
