After my little display of magic and freeing her for some reason little foxy here seems to have opened up to me.
She's too easy for someone who act so cautious.
You need to be more cautious little missy.
I inwardly thought.
Then a realization dawn upon me, a very important one at that.
I am in a freaking child's body right now.
I completely forgot about this.
No wonder she quickly opens up to me after I save her unlike her previous cautious and distant behavior.
Moreover, I noticed her looking at me with sparkling eyes.
This is really an anime world because I can see real stars in her emerald eyes.
Damn is there some sort of law governing such phenomena.
'Rafael can you used {All Of Creation} sub skill to uncover this mystery?'
I ask my trusted partner.
[It's seems that this phenomena is one of those concealed phenomena.]
Rafael replied.
'What a shame.'
[Do you want me to try and uncover it?]
'Forget it we can try uncovering such phenomena at a later date, please go back and search for a way for me to strengthen my body excluding receiving the blessing of a god.'
[As you wish.]
What a mystery.
I don't know what she's thinking.
She asked me to stop reading her mind so as a gentle man I complied.
However, now I am curious on what's running through her mind and she seems to notice my curiosity so she gave me a knowing smile.
She seems to trust my word of promise to not read her mind without permission.
Ugh.
I am really curious but a promise is a promise.
She even asked for a pinky finger which I coolly decline claiming that I am not a child anymore.
Even back on Earth I always follow my word.
Moreover, I have this feeling that if I tried to break my promise she'll knew it immediately.
I call this men's intuition.
They say woman's intuition is scary, there's also men's intuition you know.
…
I held her in my arms in a princess carry for us to be able to go above ground due to the disappearance of the staircase leading to the basement.
The culprit was my own skill so I need to take responsibility.
She giggled happily like a little girl on my arms grabbing my shirt.
Right, she's a genuine little girl.
I ignored her antics as I jumped up.
"I forgot we have yet to introduce ourselves." – I took the lead and opened up a conversation.
A true man must always take the lead.
Wait, isn't it ladies first.
Ugh, forget it, I support gender equality.
"I am…"
Do I use my previous life name or the name given by grandma Ekie.
My deceased grandma has a strange name.
Oh, right my birth mother forgot to give me a name before we got separated.
I hope we can see each other again, one day.
My grandmother/guardian gave me the name Neon, similar to a certain blue hair speedy character in a FPS game back on Earth before the apocalypse.
What name should I choose Kai or Neon.
Mini miny mo!
"I am Kai Kanzen Van Ainsworth at your service."
Let's go with my long name cuz it sounded noble and cool to my ears.
"Um, I am Sanjouno Haruhime."
She also introduced herself and did a curtsy.
Her name sounds familiar.
Wait…
What…
Is she the Haruhime I know in the series.
Golden Fur, Renard, Cute Face, Pervert, and Bishōjo.
Haruhime gave me a pouty look.
"You thinking about something rude aren't you."
Huh… Oh no!
This must be the so called woman's intuition.
But aren't she too young to have this capability.
Ugh.
My head hurts thinking about this.
"I just remember, you calling yourself a pervert."
I said with an innocent smile.
Haruhime's face quickly turned red after hearing my retort.
Haha…
I knew how to fight woman's intuition you know.
You just need to combined both truth and lie and they'll be having a hard time figuring whether your lying or what.
She covered her face her cheeks pouting.
I'll let her be for now.
'Hey, partner how far are we from the cannon?'
I asked Rafael.
[Based on the given general information I've compiled it seems that were 9-10 years early before the main story starts.]
Damn, damn, damn…
9-10 years, huh. That's quite far.
Then little Haruhime here should be around 5 to 6 years old.
[You should know that things wouldn't always be the same as the fictional story. You're in reality right now so anything can happen. Bell Cranel might not even be the protagonist of the world worse he might have turned out to be a girl here. Moreover, this timeline had already broken off from the main story due to your existence.]
'Why is it worse if bell turned out to be Bella.'
[Cuz you'll surely seduce her if things turned out like that.]
'You have a point.'
[Did you just agreed…]
Can you stop foreshadowing, partner.
[…] – Rafael had fallen into silence.
'So I am like some sort of Fanfic mc, huh.'
The thought gave me a headache.
[You really do look like one right now.]
'Damn, then let's break the fourth wall. To the one's reading this F*ck u all, give me some memes.'
[Have you lost your mind?] – Rafael did not know what had gotten into the head of her partner.
'S-sorry, sorry. I am just a bit annoyed.'
I apologize, Rafael-chan is always too serious.
…
We exit the bandit boss's house and what greeted us were the sight of burning corpses giving of a unpleasant stench, the bloody lower body of the pervert and the headless leader.
IF I MUST SAY, I REALLY DID DO A GOOD JOB.
The sight before us is fantastic, in my eyes, but when it comes to my companion.
I shifted my gaze to Haruhime.
She was holding her stomach stopping herself from vomiting the diluted soup she ate earlier.
"You ok Haruhime-chan?" – I asked, a bit concerned.
I'm so irresponsible, I forgot about how would a kid react.
Oh right I am also a kid.
"Don't worry, Kai-san I'm ok." She waved her hand reassuring me.
She already saw something similar it was when the bandits raided the village Kai came from, they slaughtered men and elderly, they also burned the corpses, they even did something horrible to the woman they fancy, she witnessed everything.
It was incomparable to the scene before her.
[She's a strong girl.] – Rafael praised.
'Yeah, she's unlike the one in the cannon.' – I muse.
[You can groom her to be a perfect wife.]
'That sounds like a good idea.'
Wait…
What…
'Hey, Rafael-chan. What were you suggesting me?'
[I said you could groom her to be a perfect wife.]
'Why would I do that.'
[You knew it yourself that you needed companions and what better companions there is than your own wives.]
'Huh, wives. I haven't agreed to a harem yet your already planning for one.
'Just how far are you ahead of me in terms of planning.'
[Hehe, you know me better.]
Ugh.
'I give up, do what you want, I will just go with the flow.'
[Is that an approval.]
'Don't rub it on my face.'
[Hehe, as you wish MASTER…]
Ugh.
How did my cute Rafael chan become like this?
…
I stood before the two remaining intact corpses.
Or maybe not.
One lost his balls while the other one lost his head.
I extended my hand as purple tick mist began to manifest encompassing the two corpses.
Beelzebub, lord of gluttony.
Done consuming the two bodies I called for my trusted partner.
'Rafael-chan began analysis.'
[Affirmative, analysis in progress…3 …2 …1 … complete.]
[You've gain the following abilities; Sweet talk, Hunter and Swift movement.]
[Two skills and one developmental skill.]
[Sweet talk, is a skill that allows you to create an amicable impression to those you talk to, the more they hear your voice the easier it is for you to manipulate the mind of the other party. In the later stages of the skill you can probably do some suggestions to the mind of your targets where they'll think of the suggestions as nothing but a subconscious act, those that were infected by your 'Sweet talk' will never knew that they were being manipulated.]
'Oh what a terrifying skill it is.'
[Hunter is a developmental skill that gives you more damage the more you kill a specific monster, it also gives you a tiny bit of bonus Exelia in the process.]
[Swift movement, is a basic skill for warrior, increases one's movement speed by ×1.5 for a single second.]
'A good skill for a basic one, is this the skill the leader used to close our distance in an instant.'
[Yes]
'Began analysis for 'Sweet talk' if you can please enhanced it or make it evolved, such a skill with great potential mustn't be discarded.'
[You must be planning on using 'Sweet talk' to get more girls, right.]
'Huh, no-no way. I am confident with my own charm. I don't need to resort to such lowly acts.'
'How about Falna did you get anything.'
[It seems like the moment they died the Falna inside them was dispersed throughout nature.]
[I suggest you consume an adventurer while he/she is still alive.]
'Hey, can you not make it sound like I am a cannibal.'
[My apologies I forgot human custom and you're a mix now. True dragons ate dragons.]
'Yeah, but I don't want to leave behind my human view point and standards.
[As you wish, partner.]
'Thanks partner.'
