Imagination Is My Weapon(Rising of the Shield Hero Fanfic)

Chapter 15: Change of Course

Mirai Iwatani Level 39

Kenta Level 40

Kenta and I walk through the gates and start looking around. "Open the bag," I say as I walk over to him with an armful of items.

"I'm not your pack horse," he argues.

"So, what does holding open a bag have to do with packing things," he reluctantly holds open the bag as I unload my arms.

"Besides you're big and strong, while I'm not but a mouse," I say, his tail swishes.

"I forgot you're a mouse," he smirks as he happily tosses the bag over his shoulder, and we walk down the city street. "This thing is as light as a feather," Kenta pauses, "You wouldn't have trouble carrying this thing at all," he states, "Take it back," he shoves it into my hands and stomps away.

"I can't believe he fell for that," I smirk, "Hey Kenta!" I snap my fingers and the bag shrinks as it takes residence against my hip. " Where do you think you're going! Wait!" I chase after him. I come out of the alley into another street and look around, "What the hell? Where'd he go?" I turn, "He couldn't have been that mad because of my joke," I look in another direction, "Right?" I walk around, "He really just disappeared on me, was it my remark? Nah, couldn't be. He picked up what I put down," I exit another side street. "Kenta's not the type to just ru-" I paused for a moment, "nevermind he totally is. I thought he told me he was too old for hide and seek and here I am trying to find him," I tap my chin, "Or did he see Naofumi?"

"Well, look who it is" a familiar voice appears from behind me and arms drap over my shoulders, "Mirai baby, it's been so long!"

"Motoyasu," I grip his wrist, "What do you think you are doing!" I toss him over my shoulder and onto the ground.

"You're so strong Mirai," he smiles.

"What are you doing?"

"I was attending a party with Myne," he replies as he stands up.

"What party?"

"She wanted to throw me a party as thanks for," he says as I plug my nose and step back.

"Stay away from me you smell like a freaking booze hound!," I observe holding out my hand palm out, "Should you really be partying at a time like this. You could be d-,"

"Sssh, I know what you're going to say," he places his finger to my lips, "Why don't we go and talk over a meal? My treat," I smile as I grab his wrist and gently push him back a few steps. He stumbles and falls flat on his backside.

"What'd you do that for?" He asks.

"You should be doing something productive," he looks at me as if he were a lost pup, "You know Hero stuff, like I don't know training, taking on quests, that kind of stuff,"

"Training is for the weak," he shoots up, "I'm Motoyasu the legendary Spear H-"

"Oh no you don't!" I motion to move but he grabs my clothes and throws up. "MOTOYASU!!!!!" Some birds nearby let out a surprised cry before flapping their wings and hightailing it away from here. I glare at him with fire. "I'm going to k-"

"Sorry, Mirai I didn't-" he panics and falls flat on his back. Out cold.

"I swear out of four of you. You are the absolute worst. No wonder you've lost to my brother multiple times. At least hes trying to make this world safe. While you are partying left right and centre. It's honestly a miracle that you're still alive!" I fume. Motoyasu snores my lecture away, I sigh resting my fingertips on my forehead. "I suppose I can't just leave you here," I kneel down, grab his arm, and place it over my shoulders.
