Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 20

Jaune was blocking the attacks of Ghira. The moment the man saw him, he saw fit to attack Jaune. His instincts were telling him that this was the bastard that was dating his daughter.

Jaune said, "Are you done, Mr. Belladonna? I have plans with Blake. She said she would show me around Menagerie, which I am excited about."

Kali looked at Jaune and said, "Oh, my. This is quite something. I thought Blake said her boyfriend was human. But you are not."

Jaune chuckled and said, "You can see it as a sort of Semblance." He then proceeded to make his tails disappear.

Kali was wide-eyed at what she saw. She said, "That's quite an ability."

Jaune shrugged his shoulders, "It's cool. As a kid, I used to want Faunus features like dog ears or cat ears. Now, I have a Fox tail, ears, and eyes. Plus, I got retractable claws! How cool is that?"

Ghira was still trying to pummel Jaune, but to no avail. Jaune might have had his stats reduced to 10 all-round, but his Kitsune Physiology is enhancing it when he is in this form.

Blake's father was eventually exhausted. He was sitting down beside his wife, glaring at Jaune.

Blake said, "Dad, can you stop, please? You're embarrassing me."

Ghira crossed his arms and said, "I don't see anything special in him. I don't see why you're interested in him."

Blake stood up, grabbed Jaune, and started walking out when she said, "If you're like that, then Jaune and I will be heading out and giving you time to cool off. I'll be giving Jaune a tour of Menagerie. I hope by the time we come back, you are no longer this way."

Jaune and Blake walked out. As they left the house, Jaune said to Blake, "So? That's your Dad? He seemed like a nice guy."

Blake sighed. She said, "You call that nice?"

Jaune nodded and said, "Yup! He cares about you. He is simply worried that I'm just trying to use you somehow. I would probably act the same way if I had a daughter."

Blake remembered a message she got some time ago and said, "By the way. I had this very unusual message from Nora. It was a bunch of baby pictures with a caption, Jaune's son. What is all that about?"

Jaune opened his mouth by didn't know what to say. He did so multiple times before uttering, "His name is Adrian. I guess there is no point in hiding it. Adrian is my son with Terra Cotta-Arc, my sister's wife. They wanted a child and didn't want some stranger being the donor."

Blake, hearing what Jaune said, started having a peculiar imagination. She blushed so hard that her nose started bleeding from all the blood on her face. She said, "That's like chapter ten of Ninjas of Love! Not the donor thing, the incest thing." She shook her head and showed Jaune around Menagerie.

Blake showed Jaune around the port, the place they sold fish. It turns out fish in Menagerie is cheap. He was brought to the farmer's market, where everyone buys ingredients. After that were many other things. But the important one is the desert. Blake showed Jaune why Menagerie only used a small portion of the island.

Jaune was shocked, "Are you saying that the animals residing in the desert have Aura?"

Blake nodded, saying, "Yeah, it's why they are dangerous. Not only do they have Aura, but others have their Semblance unlocked, making them highly dangerous. Plus, they are far more cunning than regular animals since they have higher intelligence thanks to their Aura."

Jaune said, "Wait. Is this the reason most of your food is fish? Or is that just what you prefer?"

Blake blushed and said, "Both. But enough about that. Are you also planning to head to Weiss, Yang, and Ruby?"
