" Oi so you can speak." Chiki pointing a finger at shizuru his face soaked with misbelief.
" I taught him, being in my presence must've rubbed off on him my mother used to sa-." The fatty starts to say but chiki immediately blocks his lips with his mouth the places him in a headlock.
" Would you stop talking already." Chiki says clicking his tongue.
The fatty still struggling to get out of his grip. Chiki raises his head then notices the door has been slightly left ajar and immediately shoves the fatty away.
He quickly heads towards the open door and pokes his head out but doesn't see anyone.
" No guards?? but there were some here a little while ago, this is oddly suspicious." He mumurs to himself.
He turns around as the fatty crashes onto him pushing both of them door swinging it wide open. He slowly opens his eyes and finds the fatty still sitting on him.
" Get of me you annoying lump of flesh." He snaps and throws him off.
He then gently dust his body scrubbing dust off. Shizuru is already standing outside staring at him, The girl standing at the doorway.
" You should get in quickly, i don't think it's safe out there." she hurriedly says.
" I mean what difference does it even make, There are no guards around." He replies, slowing scanning the hall way.
He immediately gets shocked as he notices large clouds of mana oozing around the hallway.
" Everyone get back in." He yells before running towards the direction.
What's this feeling, it's like it's crawling on my skins. It's bloodlust, it's everywhere thick and nauseating. What filthy bug dares?.
He makes it to the basement the mana even thicker than the hallway's, He takes a moment to catch his breath.
" Damn this body is weak." He inhales then exhales.
" I can't wait to grow older." He raises his head then wipes the sweat off his forehead.
The girl suddenly pops out and stops behind him obviously out of breath, shizuru also makes it. Sweaty but still expressionless all their breathing slightly heavy, Chiki turns around and faces them his hands crossed on his chest.
" I thought i told you guys to head back inside." Chiki turns around a slight grin on his face.
" Well j saw you ran off and was worried so i came." She replies slightly fidgety.
" You, no need to ask you...you won't answer." He rolls his eyes at shizuru.
" Then what about-." He starts to say but gets interrupted by fatty.
" You- Guuyss should wait for me." Fatty says very out of breath as he passes out on the floor, breathing heavily like a dog.
He starts mumuring, his body soaked with sweat. Chiki shrugs.
" Since you're all here we might as well check it out together." Chiki says.
" Miss you can use magic right?." He casually asks her.
" Yes-." She replies but pauses
" What how did you know?." she screams.
He ignores the question then clasps his palms together slowly drawing in mana, lines of green light slowly covering his skin like a circuit.
She jumps back frightened like she just saw a ghost. lines of light start to manifest above his palm slowly connecting themselves together twisting and turning, melding to one another taking the shape of dagger. A bright spark occurs and two daggers appear on his palm.
" Amazing." She says suprise written on her face.
" Damn I haven't tried it since i came here. Forgot how exhaustive it felt at first." He exhales sweat covering his face once more, than takes one swing twisting his body.
" Manageable." He comments when checking the daggers out.
He turns back and smiles at them, the girl still suprised and shizuru still expressionless, He walks up to him.
" You should atleast act a bit surprised, here you'd need this." He says handing him a dagger.
Shizuru slowly collects it and stares at the blade, it's sharp edge shimmering a bit.
" Who are you?." She blurts out unable to hold her shock anymore.
" Well my name is chiki." He replies slowly turning to face her.
" I'm Ohta, ohta sone." She replies while pulling her hood down.
The fatty finally gains consciousness and looks at them his eyes settling on ohta.
" You-you look familiar." He says slowly getting up.
" You kinda wanna resemble the princess." He says whilst scratching his head.
" Hmmm...you even have the same names." He slowly adds.
" Wait!!! don't tell me you are?." His eyes swings as he points at her.
" Yes i am princess ohta." she agrees.
" prin...cess." The fatty stammers.
He immediately starts running in excitement.
" I met the princess, i met the princess." He starts yelling flapping his thick arms like a mad man.
" Would you shut-." Chiki snaps.
But the fatty slips and falls smacking his head before he could even complete his sentence. He bends down and checks his pulse.
" Well he's not dead, He passed out again." Chiki sighs.
" It's probably for the best." He gets up,
" Well it's nice to meet the princess, no wonder you had mana so early on." He says bowing his head a bit.
" Compared to what you just did, i might be lacking." She hurriedly says shaking her head in response.
Shizuru silently drags the fatty and places his back on the wall.
" Ohh is that so, truly modest. Well then let's go." Chiki announces.
They walk into an old wine cellar, it is field shelves packed full with different types of wine.
The mana is so so thick here, it almost feels like i could taste it, Chiki thinks to himself.
" Let's spread out. Ohta you take right, shizuru you take left." Chiki quickly says.
They both nod and immediately spread out. There is nothing coming from either directions so they'll be safe. He takes the straight path.
He actually called me by my name, otah thinks to herself smiling happily.
Chiki walk foward until he finds a trapdoor on the floor. It is oozing with that nauseating mana, he thinks before pulling the trapdoor open.
