-Break-Every day since Suzuka told us her name, we have come to visit her. The twinstars have tightened their defences around the area of her house, but as long as we sneak past them, it is no issue.Whenever we arrive, Suzuka is filled with joy to be with us, so much so that I felt that she was overbearing but still, that smile is too genuine for me to complain, so I bear with it.We spend all our time from morning till night playing. We draw, we build snow sculptures, we even fight though Suzuka tends to beat our asses at all of these things, which has stroked my competitive spirit quite a bit. So instead of making sure she has been having a fun time, I have been trying to crush her with all my heart though it turns out life isn’t going my way.One day I lost so completely at everything I fell to the ground on my hands and knees in defeat with tears falling down my eyes. Seeing this, Suzuka said to me.“Sorry about this Orb I’ll let you win the next one.”“That won’t make me happy,
-Break-Φ The dark cloud in the sky me and Cyrus see suddenly collapses in on itself and disappears. Following this, screams are heard, and debris flies everywhere even in our direction.As it comes at Cyrus and me, I freeze it, but looking around me, not everyone is so lucky. Debris blasted off some of their body parts, crushed some of their bodies, and landed on lots of the buildings. Seeing this, the feeling to vomit almost overtakes me, but I hold it back.Then I say to Cyrus, “I need you to go back to the inn to drop the medicine there. When you get back, make sure Sparrow is ready. If this is what I think it is, we might need to proceed with our plan tonight instead of tomorrow.”“R-R-R-Right,” Cyrus says as he leaves, I go around and start helping the people who were crushed by the debris around me. The spirits in the area and the buildings, also come out to help.“Do you have any idea what is doing this?” I ask one of the spirits.“It’s a minus. I can feel it, all of the spiri
After Cyrus says this, the minus with its flaming katana swings directly at him.“DODGE!” I scream.But Cyrus blocks the blow, from the katana taking the full shockwave of the impact, and absorbing the flames.“You’re interesting. To think a human is this strong” the minus says as Cyrus knocks it back.I move up to Cyrus and ask, “How did you do that.”Sporadically he says, “I j-j-just got my s-s-sword then I thought I couldn’t let you d-d-die, then black mist appeared. L-L-Legacy active sword changed darkness came out minus defeated.” When he finishes saying all this, I feel like steam is coming out of his head.“It’s okay slow down. We will figure this out later, but we need to get past that monster because behind it is Suzuka.”He starts panicking and says, “Is she ok? What is going on? Did t-t-t-that monster hurt her?” while getting close.“Cyrus, you’re ruining the cool Aura you had. Clam down,” I say, pushing his face away.“S-S-Sorry”“I need someone to distract him as I get cl
-Break-19 years earlierΦ “Inari-sensei, there is a monster outside!”“I don’t remember training any of you guys to lose to a minus, now do I.”“It isn’t a minus, it’s a human.”After my student finished saying this, I suddenly see more of my students fly through the dojo door. “What the hell is going on”, I say, dumbfounded by this situation.Then walking on top of the defeated bodies of my students, I see a young boy come in, and he says, “Your Inari Gozen the one in charge here aren’t you?”“Yes, I am now, would you please stop walking over my students.”“Who cares about that; soon I will be walking all over you”, the young boy says as he jumps to attack me. Dodging his blows, I see how incredibly sharp his spirit energy control is, not only that his footwork is great and he is aiming for all my weak spots; I see how he was able to so easily overpower my students, but I won’t go down so easily.So, after giving the brat a fake opening to strike, I catch him and restrain him. Then
-Break-Φ After accepting Inari's offer, I went to live with him and Kuzanoha. During the time I stayed with them, Kuzanoha thought me lots of stuff like how to cook if I am in an emergency situation, and how to upkeep all my equipment.Though one thing I didn’t like learning was manners, apparently I had a foul mouth, and had to learn how to behave like a proper human being. The part that made it worst was that Inari's mother Osaki was the one teaching me, and she wasn’t gentle.“I don’t want to do this anymore you ape,” I said right at Osaki's face.Osaki picks me up and hits me repeatedly on the ass. This lady is an ape in disguise she shouldn’t be this strong. After she lets me down she says. “Watch your tongue you ignorant child, or there will be more where that came from.”“Keep talking, you old bitch.”“Youth today, your morals are degrading at a ridiculous rate, but don’t worry, I won’t let you be one of them. Zashiki bring the stone tablets I am giving this child two hours of
I spent the rest of the day with them getting to know my little sister Suzuka, but when everyone went to sleep, I snuck out to go find someone. Walking into her inn, the first person I see is granny Osaki, and when I see her I run up furiously and say, “Why aren’t you helping your family at all.”“Watch your tone boy, I tried to help those two repeatedly, but they have rejected it.”“They told me you asked them to give up Suzuka; we know they could never do that.”“Are you just as stupid as the rest of them, that girl has no future in this country, can you not see that.”“We could try and look for other options instead of just giving up on her.”“I thought you would have grown in these last two years, but it seems I was mistaken. This conversation is a waste of time I am done here,” she says walking away.“Granny Osaki, I always thought you were kind of mean but you did it out of love. I never knew you were such a coward, as to abandon your family out of fear of the people around you.
“Mommy, daddy, come see how pretty the ocean is.”“We will Suzuka, just wait.”Today mommy and daddy, brought me to the ocean to play for the first time in a while. Whenever we come here it is always empty, even if they’re people here they move away from us.In the sand, I have a sculpture contest against mommy, but she was always too good at it and I kept losing to her.We also, buried father in the ground covering him with a bunch of sand, but he would use all his strength to break out of it, my dad is really cool. Then we would splash our feet into the water and I would have a water battle with them, but my parents didn’t hold back and would always beat me.I had lots of fun, but one thing always ruined that for me the people constantly staring at us with contempt as if our playing was a crime. Stupid idiots.While playing in the water that day, I saw a little way back by the coast a kappa spirit who looked injured, so I went to go help it. I gave it some spirit energy, which was a
-Break-It has been about two days since we left Seirei, and are almost to our destination. We decided, we shouldn’t head straight across to Terrafide for a few reasons: first, they have probably realized Suzuka is missing, so the first place they would expect her to be taken is the area around Deno, especially since I have been where church garments all this time.I am going to have to apologise to Timothy next time I see him for the trouble headed his way.The second reason would be, that we can actually take this ship very close to the point where we took the Cursed bull from.None of us know how to steer a ship normally, but with this being a spirit all we have to do is feed it ship energy, and tell it where it to go. So, we guided the ship to the sea in between both Terrafide and Enotita.And now we have finally arrived, when we all offload ourselves, Suzuka tells the spirit, “Wait right here for us.”Then I ask, “Is it all right for a spirit to be left out here like this, couldn
