Previous Threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Summoned%20Hero%20QuestLAST TIME on Summoned Hero Quest, you found a little girl in which you wanted to rescue, but you left her with the crazy fox girl Brunstault. You enter the brothel, by a dog girl and then LEAVE! After that YOU charge in and try and free the bitches and whores! Afterward, you run into Clive, with whom now you're fighting!-----------------------A clean white arc slices through the air, splitting rain droplets as it continues through its course of attack. A spark ignites as two blades intersect one another. You push with all your might, and in contract Clive barely tries. You separate from one another, pushing space between the two of you. "Shit." you breathe in and out, trying to formulate a plan.You weren't on Earth anymore. The social shut in was dead, you intend to re-invent yourself here. You can't do that if you die at the hands of this brute, this rebel Guardian. Clive. What was he like back home? You don't have any answers, and fighting would net you none."How's it feel to be restricted by moral? Fun, isn't it?" Clive just smiles, teeth showing. The two of you meet for another exchange under the cloudy skies, under the cold rain. The sound of metal on metal. You separate once again, sliding away from one another. "Huff...huff." you knew how to use a sword now, that's probably the only thing that's saved you this fight.>What to do?
IRC: RizonChannel: #SHQuestForgot to put it in the OP.
>>20303017"Oh fuck you! You're not going to give me the whole 'rewards of the moralfag' bullshit here!"Continue fighting, keep Clive's attention on us. Hopefully Brunstault will finish with the guards and come bail us out.
>>20303051Pretty much all that might work at this point it seems. He's stronger than us, at least as fast as us and probably better at fighting. We're pretty boned unless we can find something in the environment to help us or she does.
rolled 60 = 60>>20303051Oh, right, this is a fight. Rolling.
"Oh fuck you! You're not going to give me the whole 'rewards of the moralfag' bullshit here!" you kick off the ground, running as fast as you can to meet your opponent head on. You spin, performing a horizontal slash targeted at Clive's stomach. The rival Guardian steps back, avoiding the slash by a wide margin. You refocus, spin around and slash at him again. Clive ducks under it and swings his leg out to trip you. You quickly crouch low to the ground, grabbing his leg. "GO FLY!" you spin the guy around, once, twice, and then you let the leg go. He flies off into the distance, only to recover in mid air. He lands on the ground in a second and sprints forward for another go.Clive draws out a broadsword from his own purple aura, in the same manner as you summon your own swords. He slashes at you, firing off a thin line of energy. It's purpose was clear. To cut you in two. You hold out a hand, projecting another circular barrier to protect you from the attack. The purple line impacts the guard, shattering it in one go. Clive closes in, getting closer each passing moment. Once he's three foot away, you swing your long sword to intercept his own strike. Sparks fly as the blades impact."Hehehe. No, nothing like that. I was just being ironic, I guess!" Clive pulls his blade back and slashes it downward. You parry the strike, leaving Clive defenseless for an instant! You perform a stabbing motion, but Clive recovers just a second before you attack. He leaps back, smiling. He was egging you on...>What to do?
rolled 68 = 68>>20303141"So does that mean you used to have this total freedom you currently enjoy?"Might be best if we start trying to focus on dodging more than blocking. All his attacks seem able to go through any guard we make.
rolled 79 = 79>>20303141Try to see what's taking Brunstault so long.Then go into the attack again. Don't let his words get to us; think of him as just another shitposting troll on 4chan. Report, hide thread, and jimmies are unrustled.This time, when our swords meet, shove a bunch of energy into our sword, as a blast directed at Clive at point-blank range.
Where was she? Where was that fox Beastkin that was supposed to be helping you? Your eyes fall on the brothel just a few yards in behind Clive. The figure, just as tall as you, clad in black, is just walking nonchalantly your way. There she was, sitting there on a rotten barrel, watching your fight. Her legs folded over one another. Wow, that bitch! "So does that mean you used to have this total freedom you currently enjoy?" you begin flooding your sword with energy as Clive approaches."Pfft, fuck no. That world was a shell, a prison!" Clive's voice raises as does his walking speed. Then, in a blur, he moves forward. That was it, the right moment. You bend your legs, preparing for the strike. "OVER HERE!" Clive yells. Your body reacts faster than your mind can process it. You meet sword to sword, intercepting a backstabbing Clive. You count it off in your head: 3. 2. 1. Kaboom. The sword releases an explosion of blue that engulfs both you and the attacker. Clive flies backward, through the air and flops onto the ground after a few backward tumbles. Your, who was on the tail-end of the explosion, flies backward and into the muddy road. "Guh." you get up without much trouble. There, on the horizon, stands Clive. His clothes are burnt, his upper body is charred, and he's smiling. You can see the white of his teeth from where you sit. >"Brunstault, help me already!">Charge forward and meet Clive >What to do?
rolled 1 = 1>>20303281Get up from our little explosion and try to grab some of the mud. Who cares if it's dirty, maybe we can make an opening using some. No point asking for help since she probably won't help unless we're on the verge of dying. Maybe.
rolled 57 = 57>>20303281Clive is just standing there, so watch him carefully, and catch our breath. Wait for him to attack, and then counterattack.
You stand there for a moment, recovering from the small exchange you just had. You grip the longsword in your hand firmly, watching Clive from a distance. You breathe in and out, gathering your energy for another exchange. Clive walks forward, his hands in his pockets. "So why are you fighting again? You come from the same world as I do, yet... you're acting like a 'Guardian' instead of yourself, am I right or am I right?" Clive's sword was nowhere to be seen. He could summon it at a moments notice, too, so what was up?"Uh..""Well are you going to answer me, Anon?" he was remarkably straight forward."Well..." Brunstealt called you hypocrite, and there was certainly some truth in that... but.>What to say?
Can we use our magic to turn our bullets explosive like bolter rounds?We should use that at some point, but wait for now.
>>20303471"I can't act like myself. I don't want to act like my old self. The people that let me act that way aren't here with me and I'm on my own. I have the chance to be different this time and I intend to take it."
>>20303471"Isn't being a hero and going on adventures in a fantasy world a common dream for people from our world? I just suddenly got a chance to live that dream."
>>20303471"Oh yes. I could act like I used to. But I'd rather not. I could be that pathetic, socially awkward, social shut-in with more rolls of fat than a tractor-trailer has tires, but why limit myself? Why stay that way? "No. Even though I might make mistakes along the way, at least I'll make effort."
"I can't act like myself. I don't want to act like my old self. The people that let me act that way aren't here with me and I'm on my own. I have the chance to be different this time and I intend to take it." you clench the sword in hand. Clive just chuckles at your response."SO you're just going to run from who you truly are? Tsk tsk tsk, how pathetic can you be. Be yourself! Be the coward you've always been!" Clive summons the long sword and stabs it into the ground."And... isn't being a hero and going on adventures in a fantasy world a common dream for people from our world? I just suddenly got a chance to live that dream...""So it goes back to changing yourself and escaping your nature. No matter what you believe, what you do, you can't escape it... but if you want to go play hero, do it somewhere else." Clive's smile only shows malice. Killing intent. "Or you might just get swallowed by this world." he turns around, waves you good-bye and starts to walk away.>What to do?
>>20303480Since we can do accessories and attachments to our assault rifle, why not a GP-30 grenade launcher?
>>20303636Wait. Be prepared for him to do something sneaky but let's see if he really is going to leave.
>>20303636He is testing if we can kill him while he is unarmed huh?I think we should show him we can.
>>20303636"Fuck, you really are retarded, aren't you? What decade are you from, the fucking 1920's? Who a person really is, has been scientifically proven to be a result of memories, neurochemistry, and brain functions. You actually buy into all that primitive throw-back shit about 'a person's heart' and 'true self'? Get away from me, I don't want to catch your stupid."
>>20303636Say this >>20303696While doing this>>20303666Also, see if we can materialize a grenade launcher for our assault rifle. Never hurts to try.
>>20303696Let's not say anything to set him off. Let him think what he has the last words and leave it at that. We can always just prove him wrong by changing later.
"Fuck, you really are retarded, aren't you? What decade are you from, the fucking 1920's? Who a person really is, has been scientifically proven to be a result of memories, neurochemistry, and brain functions. You actually buy into all that primitive throw-back shit about 'a person's heart' and 'true self'? Get away from me, I don't want to catch your stupid." you cross your arms, sighing inwardly."I'm from the 21st century, and it's dumb for you to assume other wise. Oh, science, you want to talk science? Very well. The memories are the foundation of who you are, they built up over a period of time and it's called 'development'. The reason I'm saying you can't run away from it is.. well, because those memories are who you are. You can't change that, it's engraved into your very... I'm going to use a word you PROBABLY don't like, your soul. It's funny how you assume things." Clive shrugs and chuckles to himself. "Also, simplicity is grand. We humans often over complicate things and it gets to be so much of a fuss. Don't you agree?" you don't answer, you just stand there dumbfounded. "Good, I'm done. Hopefully saving these girls was a BIG CONFIDENCE boost for you!" Clive laughs again before vanishing out of sigh."Well you certainly got what for!" Brunstealt laughs to herself as she walks forward, her hands on her hips. "So what do we do now, Hero?" the fox grins. She really took pleasure in your misery, didn't she?>What to do?
>>20303772Don't even address her. Just go free the girls and let's get out of here. This just ended up lame.
>>20303772"Might as well finish what we started, even if it's only possible since Clive left for some reason."
>>20303772I'd like to point out here, that since memories are malleable, that changing memories WILL change a person's personality. It's been documented, it's a known thing. It can be changed because there's no such thing as some kind of ROM that gets accessed. Let Clive believe in whatever bullshit he wants, it's simply incorrect.Anyway, let's gather up the girls, gather up whatever money was being stored here.
Uh, where do we take these girls now?Ask everyone if there's any place they want to be taken to.
>>20303906Oh yes, we need to learn where they want to go.Though we can't do it now, of course. We have to go meet Albert and do a cursory examination of the ruins. We can probably dig up the brothel owner's cashbox and give everyone a bit of gold to pay for travel back to their homes (or to some new town if they wish) and a bit of money to help them along.
>>20303906Find out where their homes are I guess. If it's not too far, we can take em back. If they're super far... I guess bring em back to the island.
>>20303940>>20303906>>20303772...theyu come with us for now, simple.
>>20304007We're going to ruins. That might not be wise.
>>20303801Clive is a troll on the order of Jim Profit and Flare put together. Of course he's going to make the fight have a lame end. He's basically just throwing shit at us just to tick us off and make us look stupid, even though everything he says is bullshit.We need to train hard enough so that the next time we meet him, we can rip his face off and tear out his heart and eat it.
>>20304020Leave them with Albert's whale? Have Beatrice keep them in line until we finish at the ruins?
I think we're all agreed that we get the girls to their homes or destinations of choice, but that's after the ruin exploration.What are we going to do with them during our exploration? We can't take them with us; it's too dangerous.Can we trust them with Albert's sky-whale?
This idea was badly thought out at the beginning.Time to use our LACK of swag to our own advantage.Free the girls, tell them we have a prior engagement to see to before we finish this rescue operation.
>>20304115I honestly think we should get them to our city. Leaving them here is too risky. The woman might get attacked here all alone.
>>20304149Agreed. Way too dangerous to leave em alone.
>>20304145I don't think that leaving them here would be wise.>>20304149If they're with Ademson, then they'd be hidden. That's where Albert has gone off to, to hide the sky-whale.
>>20304169I don't like the idea of leaving em with the whale. Can we expect the whale to protect them? I don't like that idea. Albert would probably understand that we want to get the women to our city.
>>20304198The whale is capable of flight and is being moored somewhere where it can be hidden. If something attacks them, the whale can just NOPE out of there and fly away with the girls on its back.
>>20304169For us alone, it is.For them, not a chance it's smart.We are bad at these things.
>>20304211What if the attackers have a whale of their own?We should either take them with us, or get them to the city.
>>20304261We'd be losing a lot of time going back up. If Albert is confident enough that hiding Ademson is enough to keep it safe, why wouldn't that also work for the girls who even as a group would be significantly harder to spot than a sky-whale.
>>20304318We should ask him what we should do then.Lets free those girls first. Starting with the girl we gave our cloak to.
>>20304333So free girls (free girls, ask where they want to go, take money from brothel, get blankets and clothing for girls), talk to Albert about WAT DO?, make a decision then?Can we get behind that at least?
>>20304399Yep, has my vote.
>>20304399I can agree with this.
Are you still alive Doorbell
>>20304399Yeah, I'm for this too.
>>20304492He was just waiting for a consensus.
With Clive gone, not antagonizing you any further, you start to think about the girl's that you have just freed and their fates. You ignore Brunstealt and her attempts at speaking with you, and go inside the brothel where the freed girls (although scared) are. You grab them clothes from wherever you can and take the money from the brothel. Although, you have to destroy the 'Boss's room to find the money... You walk out of the brothel, telling the girl's to wait there. "Hey, Beatrix, I'm back." you walk into damaged room, looking at the female Beastkin. She was patting the drenched girl on the back. "We're going to go ask Albert what's up. Oh, he's a Bast, a friend of mine." Beatrix nods and agrees to stay with the injured girl...."So that's the situaton." you explain everything to Albert after finding out his hiding spot. It was a small cave on the outside of the Rundown Human Village where Ademson sits snuggly in the darkness."Sure, Ademson can take the girl's back up to Vernegard, although it'd take some time. Also, you know we can explore the ruins another time, right? You're pushing yourself thin here, mate." Albert makes an assumption out of concern for you.>"You're right. Let's get these girls to Vernegard and rest up. I'm kind of tired, either way.">"Just take them to Vernegard, I'll go on by myself if I have to.">What to do?
>>20304556>"You're right. Let's get these girls to Vernegard and rest up. I'm kind of tired, either way."Ruins won't go anywhere and we should probably make sure the girls are taken care of. Also, we should probably go deal with those two possible remnants.
>>20304556>"You're right. Let's get these girls to Vernegard and rest up. I'm kind of tired, either way."
>>20304556"Just take them to Vernegard, I'll go on by myself if I have to."no time to lose. he can catch up with us at the ruins later, eventually.
>>20304599Lunarians have a BIG truth to hide, and these ruins were JUST found.They very well actually could disapear.Just a thought.
Guys, lets go along with those girls... Even Albert thinks we should take it easy.
>>20304713Yeah, Albert...is a bear...Guys, don't leave him alone with the virgins!
>>20304556Touch fluffy tail.
>>20304556>"You're right. Let's get these girls to Vernegard and rest up. I'm kind of tired, either way."I want to go to the ruins to secure it and make later examination easier, but we can't read Lunarian script. It might be better if we see this rescue through properly.
>>20304806stop choosing what I don't choose!
Just remembered.I recommend getting a combat knife, normal sized sword, and a pistol (with infinite ammo mags if we can).Zweihander and AK are nice, but they're for fixed point long range fighting. We need some stuff for close in.Really, the zweihander is the height of an adult male.Also, combat knife and pistol are kept directly on us to prevent anti-magic shenanigans.
>>20304894The knife and the sword should be doable, but where the hell are we going to get a pistol and an infinite ammo mag? That kind of magical enchanting or machinery isn't available where we are.Only people who would have something close are the Lunarians.
>>20304929I know, I was just saying things we should attempt to obtain.Also, Clive was specifically described as materializing bullets for his revolver.And our rifle is bottomless as well.The gun itself in the biggest problem.
>>20304929some suggestions:two light firearms(pistol, smg)shotgun (sawed or not)one, or many knivesa normal sized melee weapon- or twoa long range rifle, for precision shotsa shield. two maybe?a polearmgautlet upgrade (claws, larger impact area)a whip or grappling hookand explosives, taken that we can make them.besides, its possible to produce armor of some kind?
>>20305026The shield ,guantlet upgrade and polearm sound good, though i think we should focus on improving our skill in what we already have.
>>20304996>>20305026Well the only place to get guns is on the Moon. So unless you have an idea on how to flag down a Lunarian spaceship, I don't see any point in even considering getting another gun.
>>20305026Gauntlet is actually armor, so VERY yes.We should try and find an exiled lunarian technician/mechanic and befriend them.I personally don't like the idea of storing a lot of things right now, because we don't know if there's a limit on it or if it increases energy drain.
>>20305093I was thinking...its possible to steal or copy another guardian's stuff the moment he uses it? with direct contact maybe?
>>20305213It's less like a spell and more like throwing things onto a wall to see what sticks.
>>20305213Maybe.For all we know a Gardians legendary items disapear after they die to prevent looting.We will have to meet a guardian on good terms and ask if it's possible and if we can try.We will ask to try no matter their responce.
>>20305308>For all we know a Gardians legendary items disapear after they die to prevent looting.That's not true because the way we got our stuff was by absorbing the weapons used by the previous Guardian.We touched his sword, it shattered into energy, and then got absorbed into us.
>>20305325Fair enough.We still have no idea what happens.Another thing is, we were chosen to succeed the swords owner, that might be why we were able to use its energy to make our own weapons. Hell, we don't even solidly know we absorbed its energy.It might be that a Guardians weapon shatters when pick up by someone with intent to use it.This is all moot speculla until we can meet a Guardian on good terms.
>>20305325>>20305308Uhm, so theoretically we could absorb even the bullets shot at us, right? absorbing them...is like nullificating the attack.
Darnell had some real life issues come up and had to step away. He said he was going to make one last post but quit the IRC channel, so I guess he didn't have the time. Just wanted to let you guys know.
>>20305451shit...we keep it bumped, or all hope is lost?
>>20305398>This is all moot speculla until we can meet a Guardian on good terms.No, all we need to do is actually read the damn books on the Guardian Summoning Ritual that we have or ask Candencia who is a mage and would be able to research this stuff.
>>20305471I guess we should archive it?
>>20305408No, 'absorb' as in 'retrofit'. It's still there, it's just marked as us now being the owner.Doing it to bullets would not stop them from penetrating our flesh and killing us.'Copy' is exatly what it sounds like, if we can do it. Make a copy of another Guardians legendary weapon.
>>20305471Not sure when he'll be back. He didn't say and I assumed he would in the post he said he was going to post.
>>20305483>ask CandenciaQuite joking around. We're not allowed to interact with her.
>>20305483That book says nothing about losing our memory and people also find that strange.Didn't stop us or the other Guardians of our island doing it.We are a member of a weird and obscure as fuck group and type.We are a 'Prime' Guardian. We are directly from earth.
>>20305502Yeah, Dearwell will probably use that kind of machanic, as its the most reasonable and cheatproof...
So, out of curiosity /tg/, what's your favourite girl (or guy if you're straight female or homo[or bear if you're more exotic]) until now?
>>20305664Brunstealt, because she has a tail.
>>20305664I like Candencia, because she's been nothing but helpful, insightful, and all in all, great support.But I do understand the need for Brunstealt and Beatrice, because they're the ones that won't take any shit from Anon, and tell him when he's being stupid.
>>20305664Don't have one at the moment. We haven't had a chance to develop some of the characters much.
>>20305581All my speculation only matters if a Guardians weapons are bound to them and protected from unauthorized use.The last Guardians sword might broken only because we were his successor.Really, the only way to properly confirm is by directly talking to a Guardian that has attempted to take another Guardians starting gear.Amusingly, this might be something Clive knows.
>>20305664I hope OP will continue the sister part. that made me curious...
>>20304556Bit late butJust take them to Vernegard, I 'll go on by myself.
>>20305664Drei and Bear bro.Burnstealt is like Index x Medaka x Haruhi x Minori, in the worst ways possible.Cadencia is cool as well.Dunno about our other Kemonomimi yet.
>>20305700This pleases Bumblestreet
>>20305855we're on standby dude. see >>20305451
Holy crackers, I missed the action.
>>20305664At this point I would say Candencia but I'd like to develop her more.
>>20305895Sir, do you have any more pictures that look like our little Barbstare?
>>20305885Burnstealt acts the way she does because she doesn't respect Anon.She doesn't respect Anon because she doesn't see anything there worth respecting.He's weak (relatively speaking), stupid, a hypocrite, and doesn't plan anything through properly.
>>20305977It doesn't hurt her attitude that she doesn't only think he's/we're weak, she also think she can win in a fight.She basically thinks we're one to be looked down on. She doesn't even see a reason to hide how she really is around us, despite aparently not wanting Albert to know.
>>20305949Only this one. I saved them from Danbooru back when she appeared first time.
>>20306033One-on-one, without our summoner support, she's got pretty good odds that she'd kick our ass.
I have returned from the voyage across the land. The thread will continue!
>>20306117YESSSSSS
>>20306054Aw, I was hoping there was more of Birdstrafe Laurel.>>20306066I didn't say her belief was WRONG, just that she did admit she realizes it.How shall we upstage the loli?>>20306101Let's do it.Later, though.>>20306117MOTHERFUCKING YAYIFICATIONS!
Oh wait, this one also.captcha: huntsmale globulars
>>20306175http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=naomi_%28sekai_no_hate_no_kissaten%29Thank me later.
>>20306117This pleases me.
>>20306185Ha, another one who knows the ways of Google Fu!
"You're right. Let's get these girls to Vernegard and rest up. I'm tired, either way." you release a heavy sigh, shaking your head from side to side. That fight with Clive was truly something different. It wasn't like with Aisha how she was on the offensive. Both of you were matching blow for blow. You hate to admit it, but it was fun. With that in mind, you get up and move your ass on over to the Run Down Village. After some resistance, both you and Beatrix manage to get all of the girls onto the whale and depart. The trip is short, about thirty minutes. You leave the run down Underworld behind and move to the brilliant Overworld above. You drive Ademson with enough speed so that the girl's don't fall off.. hehe.The girls unboard from the whale and talks amongst themselves. Beatrix steps forward, looking away as if she's embarassed. "Hey, there, Master." she calls you Master even though... oi. "You're a moron.""Thank you for reinstating that." you sigh, "ANYWAY, have you guys figured out what to do?""Yeah. Even though you bought me, I'm technically yours but.. can I have my freedom?" she acts as though you didn't give it to her before. "The other girls have appointed me as their caretaker so... I'm going to help them get back on their feet, and stuff, and I'm going to figure out what to do with myself. Same for them." Beatrix pointed to the other girls." Beatrix stops for a moment. "Oh right!" Beatrix places her hands on that girl, the one who was tied to the wall. "Go on.""H-here." she holds out your cape, offering it to you. Her eyes were glazed over with tears, she had a smile on her face that could bring a giant to its knees.>What to do?
>>20306185Wow, those really do look like Barnstork Legolas.This is fun.Guess OP is writing now.
>>20306300"I never intended to own you Beatrix. You had your freedom all along. Just make sure you take care of them."Take our cloak back and smile at the girl.
>>20306300HHHNNNNGGGGS-should we let he keep the cloak?
>>20306379HER* good lord, HER.
>>20306300"Yeah, of course you can have your freedom. I never intended on owning you anyway. I'll help with what I can, just tell me how."Take our cloak."Your welcome."
>>20306379You're right. Let her keep the cape.
>>20306379Actually, yeah, she'll probably need it more than we do.Let her keep it.
No pet loli?
>>20306300Sure you can but I'd feel honoured if you were to accompany us.
>>20306394We should probably give em the money we took from the brothel. It is basically theirs.
>>20306413Nope.;_;
>>20306300Smile, take cloak back,"Thank you."How many tails does Burnanatorstealthily Liga- okay, that one is overkill.Burnstealt have?More tails = more power
>>20306443Agreed there. I thought that was already agreed upon?
>>20306464Was it? Didn't notice if so. Whoops.>>20306300Let the girl keep the cape as a reminder.
"That cape...the blood on it means that you all are free. keep it, so you'll remember. ...i-if you want, I mean."
>>20306485That's cheesy as fuck bro.
Let her keep the cape, we don't need one. Besides, capes are health hazards.
You smile sincerely and bend down, petting the smaller girl on the head. "You keep it. You need it more than I do." the smaller girl opens her mouth to protest, but you place a finger over her lips. "No, don't. You keep it." you rustle her hair before standing up, facing Beatrix once again. "I never intended to buy you in the first place. You have your freedom, Beatrix. Take the money from the brothel and make a future for yourselves, one that you can be proud of." you were speaking to yourself and the girls. "Tch... you really are something, you know that?" Beatrix shrugs. She extends her hand out for a shake. You grin, returning the motion. Your hands lock, and you shake on it, sealing your friendship. "I've taken a liking to you, don't let that change, alright? Come on Sora." Beatrix places her hand on Sora, the smaller blonde girl, and the two walk away to meet their newly formed family. "Ahhh, you play the part of hero well. Maybe I'll stick around." Brunstault walks in, right beside you with her arms crossed. "What about Albert?""Ahhh, he'll be in the port for a while... shall we go to Vernegard?""You're coming with me?""Ahh, you're going to protest, are you?">What to do?
>>20306456cheeeeeeeennn...
Oh /tg., you make me proud.>>20306413No, no pets today.Only trusted companions and some bitches to keep us on our toes.
>>20306547"No, I suppose I won't. Because as much as I hate to admit it, without someone like you or Candencia to stop me, I'll just be turned to paste when another of my ideas ends up biting me in the ass."Better go see Candencia.
>>20306547"I wont, but others I know might. You know, I'm just bringing a little girl home out of nowhere."Count her tails.
>>20306607Indeed. It's been needed for awhile.
>>20306607On the topic of Candencia, I'm wondering if we should tell her to stop trying to find Anon a way home. I'm sure other guardians in the past would have tried to go home and if they had been successful, that kind of thing would have spread. At this point, I think we're just wasting her time.
"No, I suppose I won't. Because as much as I hate to admit it, without someone like you or Candencia to stop me, I'll just be turned to paste when another of my ideas ends up biting me in the ass." you admit to the smaller girl, who just laughs at you, which is completed by finger pointing."Hahahahahha, you finally admit it then? Very well. I'll do my best to kick you in the ass when I can, hm?" Brunstault smiles, clearly taking pleasure in all of this."Brunstault!" Albert walks in, scratching the back of his head. "I'm going to be-""I'm already aware." Brunstault latches onto your arm, pulling you away from the bear. "We'll be back later, Albert, you do whatever you need!""Uh... alright then, see you two later!" the older bear turns around and starts chatting among his own kind. The two of you exit the port city which is decrated in flowers and gold, and make your way up the hill, exiting through a large gate. >Point at the map to where you wanna go! (Restricted to Vernegard Isle)
>>20306547"Well, if you count this as protest..."flashkick her in the butt, then push her down in to the ground and ran away laughing"move those stumps you call legs, hairball!"
>>20306692Vernegard-ho!
>>20306692Go to Vernegard, specifically look for Candencia.There's a mountain of topics we need to talk to her about.
>>20306692Asif her ego wasn't already big enough...anyway, head to Vernegard.
>>20306805Nope. Needs to be bigger apparently.I'm guessing I'm not going to get my tail counting, though we know she has more than one.
You travel across the grassy plains and rocks on your way to Vernegard. There was little to no word from Brunstault, perhaps she was trapped in thought? Anyway, you arrive in the grass-covered city of Vernegard with a smile on your face. You actually accomplished something this day. After a while, you make it back to Cadencia's house. You explain Brunstault's presence and she's pleased with her. The three of you sit down to have some tea at Cadencia's expense."Thank you for protecting him, Ms.Brunstault." Cadencia says, sipping her own tea."He's kind of an idiot, he's reckless, he's socially-inept." Brunstault starts listing off your faults even though she's only known you for a day. "I know, I know." Cadencia tries to steer the direction of the conversation but fails."Heeheehee." Brunstault grins, sips her own tee and wags her single tail. >What to do?
>>20306856Firstly let's apologize to Candencia and tell her the truth of the summoning ritual and that she basically saved Anon's life.
>>20306856>single tail>still ridiculously powerfulChrist, I'd hate to run into a 9-tail in a dark alley.
>>20306856Grab her tail."She's not much better with people than I am."
>>20306856"Yes, yes. I know that I am full of faults. Unfortunately many of them were not wiped out by my memories being scrambled."First, apologize to Candencia."Candencia, first I need to say I'm sorry about how I acted towards you when you summoned me. I've read through the journals of my two predecessors, and they both said that they were brought through when they were about to die. So in all likelihood, you saved my life."
>>20306856>single tailWell I failed at reading coprehension earlier apparently. Sorry.>>20306874Agree with this, also ask how her work on sending us back is going.
>>20306944Wait, no. It was just in the day we got back from training.Nevermind.And yes I failed and saw a S once when there wasn't one. That's what I get for backlogging through the night.
>>20306856"So...what's the progress on sending me back"grab teapot, pour tea on Brunestool head without turning head from Cadencia"oh, SORRY, I didn't do it on purpose!"
"She's not much better with people than I am." you place the cup down and grip Brunstault's tail with a tight squeeze. The fox grins mischeviously before bringing up her hand and grabbing your nose. Hard. With her immense strength it felt as though your entire face was being ripped off. "OKAY, OKAY, SORRY! OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH.""Don't criticize me." she laughs to herself, realizing the hypocrisy of it all but she just revels in it.Cadencia seems clueless about the entire ordeal and sighs to cope with it. "Cadencia, first I need to say I'm sorry about how I acted towards you when you summoned me." you start the subject out of the blue, causing the Summoner to choke on her tea. She coughs once, twice, the sets the cup down. "What's there to apologize for?""I've read through the journals of my two predecessors, and they both said they were brought through when they were about to die. So in all likelihood, you saved my life." and as you say that, you feel like shit, remembering how you acted when all of that stuff happened. It was a result of your memories being scrambled, sure, but still, you had to apologize."O-oh, it's fine. Really, it is. Oh, I'm doing my best to find a way back for you! I even reversed the last ten tiers of the spell for you.""That sounds great!"Cadencia smiles bitterly again. She's been doing that a lot lately...>Ask her about Drei>Ask her how to do magic!>What to do?
>>20307087You know what? I was debating trying to be a bit more subtle but let's just be blunt. Let's ask her what's wrong since if even Anon can tell there's something up, something is up.
>>20307087>Ask her how to do magic!Paralysing. fists.We need to learn this.
>>20307087I think we should tell her to give up on the spell at this point. Mostly because I don't think it'd work. As I stated earlier, I'm sure someone must have tried this solution of hers in the past and if it had worked, that kind of a story would have spread even as a legend of some kind. Probably for the best to give up on normal means as a way to get home.
>>20307087Ask about whatever her problem is, it's obvious she has one and the sooner it's dealt with the better. Here's hoping she doesn't have some misguiding crush on us because other summoners ended up married to their familiars and she feels she should be doing the same.
>>20307087Blunt Force Trauma personality!"Something's wrong. What's bothering you? And don't try to dodge, because I know you have a problem."
"What's wrong Cadencia? That smile of yours, I saw it before I left today. You can tell me, what's wrong?" you're up front about your concerns for the girl. You stand up from the table, looking her in the eye. Brunstault remains quiet, realizing that it's not her time to speak up. "Nothing is wrong. Don't worry about it." she lies through her teeth, even you can tell."I'm terrible at reading people, but I can tell that's a lie.""Hah. Here I was hoping it'd work.""What's wrong?""That note that you left on the door when I came home from Lancastle... it was really so sudden... I um..." Cadencia looks away, to the window. She's still smiling. "It was really so sudden, I wondered what was wrong. I tried to be accomodating to make your stay more pleasant... I thought I was worth more than I note..." tears stream down her cheeks. "But I guess that's what I deserve."It then hits you like a ton of bricks. You fall down onto your chair, in a daze, trying to think of something to say...>What to do?
>>20307258We should probably ask what exactly our note said. We had to write in a language we didn't know so the chance of us fucking something up is rather likely. Apologize if there was some miscommunication.
>>20307258"You didn't deserve that. And I'm sorry Cadencia. I shouldn't have run off like that. I haven't been very considerate to you and have been thinking only about myself since I arrived. I want to change that though."
>>20307258"Argh...okay, no, that was my fault. I got a lead on someone who could train me and I thought I needed to follow-up on it as quickly as I could. "I didn't mean to imply that you're worthless, I just didn't think things through."
>>20307258>worth more than I noteI'm presumining 'a note'."Sorry, I had a lead on someone who could train me well with a sword and I thought it couldn't wait a moment. I acted quickly without thinking, and I'm sorry. You are worth more than a note."
"Argh.. okay, that was my fault. I got a lead on someone who could train me and I thought I needed to follow-up on it as quickly as I could. I didn't mean to imply that you're worthless, I just didn't think things through." "He does that a lot." Brunstealt interjects at the most crucial of times. "From the day I've known him. Hero probably meant nothing by it, that and he's stupid." the fox sips her own tea."Huh?" Cadencia seems confused, but she grasps the situation and nods. "So you're not-""No, you're not worthless. It was my own stupid-self. You didn't deserve that. I'm sorry, again, I shouldn't have run off like that. I haven't been very considerate to you and have been thinking of myself since I arrived. I want to change that... no, I will change that." you smile and bow apologetically.Cadencia, speechless, sits down in her seat again. Words finally come out of her mouth. "T-thank you. I appreciate that." she finally smiles in relief from the burden you've taken from her. "Alright everyone, let's finish this dinner and have lunch! You're both probably starving.""NOPE, I ATE ALREADY!" Brunstealt says with a grin."Course you have. I haven't, now what are we going to eat?"End of Chapter 9What did you think?
>>20307581Very great. Lots of fun.Can't wait for the next one, when do plan to run next?
>>20307581Clive is a dick and that fight with him made it seem like Anon's training was a waste of time.Glad to see we finally have worked some things out with Cadencia though.
>>20307666Clive seems like the recurring rival character. Wouldn't be much of one if he lost in the first fight.
>>20307645Tomorrow, same time.
