Chapter 31 - Eetoe

'Speak'
"Thought"

~~~~~~~~~~

You questioned how the fuck Aether hadn't heard Akira's screaming. But hey, at least your ears weren't ripped out anymore since Shinobu had finally grabbed him and was apologizing to Zaicim for the noise. "Don't worry about it. You and him chasing each other was an amusing scene to watch anyways." Zaicim said with a smile.

You could feel the fear radiating from Akira for these two and you loved it. You watched as Shinobu dragged him away to beat the shit out of him, as angry asian women would do. You heard triple times the creaming from where she had dragged them, and it was safe to assume she got the other members as well. "Do we continue to watch them or go back to Aether?" Zaicim asked you as an NNB jumped out from his coat to roll around on the floor like a ball. They all had their unique personalities, however the fuck Zaicim managed to do that. "Let's go check on Aether." Zaicim smiled while nodding.

You made it back to NPC dude and saw Aether was nowhere to be found. "Ah, you're back. Your friend had left to go speak to the vendor." He explained as the sun began to set. "Is that so? Then tell him we're going to be hanging around ritou for a while." Zaicim said as he walked away. "Guess we'll be listening in on the mint woman." Zaicim said as you snickered. You walked back to where you saw Shinobu and noticed a large crowd of children behind a house. "What's that? Are they trading pokemon cards?" You asked as you cocked your head to look at them.

"They seem to be crowding around a child and a large man with horns. They're... bringing out onikabuto?" Zaicim asked confused as you watched the beetle fight from his shoulder. "Is this inazuma's version of uno?" Zaicim asked even more confused. Yes, you taught him how to play uno, played uno with him, and your friendship is still as strong as ever. Miracles truly do exist. "Hey mister, are you here to watch the beetle fight as well?" A small boy asked as he walked up to Zaicim. "Beetle fight? You make two insects fight each other as a game?" Zaicim asked. "Yup! Last time, Itto lost and he came back for a rematch." The kid explained. "Seems interesting. Wanna check it out?" Zaicim asked you. "Fuck yeah, bloodshed of any kind is welcomed with open arms!" You said excitedly.

"Um, who are you talking to Mister?" The child asked. "I'm talking to y/n." He said while pointing at you. "You can talk to animals? That's so cool!" He said with stars in his eyes. "Nope. Only y/n." Zaicim explained. "Still cool though!" He said as he grabbed his hand to drag him to the fight. You felt absolutely no tension whatsoever, unlike the children who were cheering as the onikabuto rammed into each other. "The onikabuto of the child is gonna win." Zaicim said. "Hey! I dunno who you are, but never u der estimate me! I'll let you know, that I'm a beetle fighting Champion, with a capital c!" Itto said as his onikabuto was knocked off the tab,e by the child's onikabuto.

Itto didn't realize that, and thought the children were cheering for him. "That's right bud, I won this ti- Shadow warrior, noooo!" He said as he kneeled down in defeat when he saw his squished onikabuto on the floor. "What kind of name is shadow warrior?" Zaicim asked. "Hey! Shadow warrior is a great name! Number one, it sounds cool, number two, it matched with their greyish color, and number three, it was a name made by me!" Itto said as he stood up and pointed to his chest with his thumb with pride. (help idk if the way I write itto is good or not) "You recovered from your loss quickly, does this happen often?" Zaicim asked the child. "Yup, Itto loses a lot." He said while Itto made an offended gasp.

"H-hey! I'll have you know that I have won many times before! Like the time that I... uh... the time that I won in tgc!" Itto said as he crossed his arms. "I was the one who won that." A small child that looked to be the age of five said. "Wh- You- Hey! What are you laughing at!" Itto said as Zaicim laughed at him. "Extroverts are annoying to deal with, but I like this one." He said as he wiped away a tear. "Itto, was it? My name is Zaicim, and this is y/n. We're outlanders and noticed the crowd of children and went to check it out." He said as he introduced yourselves. "Zaicim? That's a cool name! I'm sure we will both get along very well my man- hey, did you think you could forget what you were saying earlier?" Itto asked with a frown. "You seem to recover quickly, so I'm sure you'll be fine." Zaicim said the sunset became night.
