Chapter 6: Time to go outside

"Lower your pride, will you?" Hel finally drilled some sense into Fenrir's head after an argument. "This human gave us a chance to live again. You should at least thank him. You're free because of him."

Fenrir looked fierce. He and I went into full battle using our eyes. And in the end, he lost and sighed. 

The two agreed to call me a master. And I did a full study of their bodies. 

"I need you two to do a few things so that I'll know if something is wrong with your body. Get up."

My bodyguards then got up, with Fenrir mumbling something. I give them a few orders like walking, running, and even jumping. So far, there's nothing wrong with their bodies. 

Although the bodies were just replicas of humans, I'm not sure if they don't have any defects. I inspect them carefully. The skin wasn't ripping, so that's a good sign. Although Fenrir's body was electrified, he didn't acquire any wounds. 

"Is your body hurting or something?" I asked her. 

"No," he answered. 

"That's good," I told him. 

Knowing Fenrir and Hel's abilities, I knew they would keep me safe, a perfect bodyguard. 

Fenrir has blue hair, while Hel has red. Although they looked alike, I wouldn't say they were twins. My replicating skill just created their body with the same face.

The next thing I did was to create their outfit. Both of their outfits were made of leather and armor. For Fenrir, he has skin-tight leather jeans, and his upper was a tight turtleneck shirt with an armored vest. His outfit was designed to be comfortable as he moved. On the other hand, Hel has a hooded black cloak and a bulgy leather empire dress. The lower half was more dress-like leather, and the upper half of her clothing was made of armor. She has paddings to protect her in case. These were freaking gorgeous, and I felt like they would be a head-turner. 

When I thought everything was ready, I made a speech for them. 

"Listen up, you two," I said. "I decided to unseal you because I need someone to protect me. Instead of making bodyguards that would respect me, I freed you two. You cannot attack me; your body will prevent you from doing that. It has a self-detonating element that will explode when you touch me. I was hoping you could accompany me on my travels. If you have any questions, say them."

"Non for me, master," Hel said. "Your wish will be my command," she said. 

"Fenrir?" 

He looked at me with disgust, but I knew he could do nothing. 

"I heard you," he replied. 

"Good," I said, smiling. "I suppose trying to kill me will be futile, right?" 

"Ugh, I said I heard you, hu-"

"Ahem."

"M-master."

"You take orders from who?" 

"You," they both told me. 

Perfect! 

I decided to rename them since I didn't want some unwanted attention. 

"Your names will be Ace and Violet."

"What?" Fenrir was once again the first to react. 

"I don't want any unwanted attention, Fenrir. To avoid that, I have to change your names. Yours would be Ace, and Hel would be Violet". 

"You!"

"Fine with me, master. I like the name you gave me," Hel said, tapping her brother's shoulder. "Calm down, brother. We should be grateful that he named us something else. Do you remember someone was hunting us before? Perhaps a new body and identity would help us hide, yes? Plus, our master will look for us too."

Fenrir's heaved a sigh.

Was someone hunting them? Who? 

"As fugitives of this world, there were those who wanted them dead. And since you are their master now, you are responsible for protecting them as they will protect you. They'll fight for you. In return, you have to defend them. It's like what you wanted, right?"

Hmm..

"I guess I can do that," I replied to Terissa, using telepathy before I looked back at them. "You can rest assured that I'll protect you like you will do to me, too. It's a give-and-take thing," I told them. 

Both of them nodded. 

"Are we clear?"

"Yes," both of them agreed. 

Since we settled in, I was finally ready to go outside. But first, I needed to change these awful clothes too. I was still in my pink pajamas when I woke up. I didn't change clothes because I didn't have a spare one. Since I was about to go outside and find a town, wearing these ridiculous pink pajamas wasn't the right dressing attire. So I replicated the clothes I saw once in anime cosplay in one of my part-time jobs. I remember fantasizing about wearing it, but I couldn't afford it. But since I am in another world and have a skill that would be the same costume, I did it in a blink of an eye. I replicated a grey button-up shirt, a brown leather overcoat, some leather pants, and boots. 

Tada! I look awesome, right? I didn't copy the costume, but I did some alternation and added some defensive spells, such as anti-attack spells. If someone attacks me and I am not aware, I can still defend myself. 

"We're leaving in an hour. I'm just going to pack something for us. Wait here for me," I told them.

I decided to pack a few things while I had a chance. I didn't know when I would return, so it's safe to be prepared. I packed some food and water in my storage box in case of an emergency. I also found a safe room, and when I looked inside, it had a field with old coins and some jewelry. I took everything and stored them in my storage box for future use. Being a merchant and adventurer doesn't sound like a bad idea, so I'll go with that.

With everything ready, we were prepared to go outside, and it was time to see what this world could offer!
