Chapter 23: (16) talking with Blake…wait she’s a princess?!!!
(Downtown vale, 20 minutes after the fight ended)
I was walking through the streets of downtown vale carrying a very calm Blake on my back. As we were walking I couldn't make heads or tails where I was and I'm pretty sure I passed the same bar three times.
"Well I'm lost! So what now Blake?" I ask her as she looks around with me and sniffs the air, as if looking for a beacon to go to.
And it seems she caught something because she leaned forward and said directions, "…take left…" I hear her say and after a bit of adjustment in my grip I walk in the directions she said.
"…go straight…"(Blake)
"Got it."(shirou)
After a minute of walking I find myself… in front of a bookstore, it was just that, a bookstore named tukson's bookstore.
"…in…" Blake instructed and I walk inside and I see a bearded man with yellow cat-like eyes putting books in stock, but something felt…off about the man.
"Exuse me sir, do you have a first aid kit?" I ask the man who stops and takes a look at me and then locks eyes on Blake and his eyes widen a bit and I can see his muscles clench up.
"What happened to her?" He asked as I explain how she was being beaten by some huntsman and I got her away from them, and when I looked at his eyes he was beyond angry, downright feral.
"Head to the back, I'll be a moment, the kits in the third cabinet on the left." He instructs as I go to the back and I didn't notice Blake was reading a random book that I didn't see her grab.
"Do your parents know you like to read?" I ask her as I see the cover, it depicted a shirtless man laying next to a Faunus princess, and they were holding hands, and I see Blake blushing.
(I decided to give her an origin to her love of erotica, and my headcanon was she fount a bunch of kali's collection and reads them when they are asleep.)
"Nn " was all she said nodding before I pieced it together, if her parent know she loves to read then they would look in a bookstore! Honestly it was quite clever for a girl who couldn't speak full sentences.
"Okay then stay there, I'm going to help the kind man out the books up, it'll allow him to help you faster." I say to her only getting a curt nod in response.
I head back into the front of the store and I see him still putting books away as I grab a few from the pile and help him out, he saw it all happen but he didn't stop me.
"…thank you for helping her out, Faunus…aren't exactly accepted around here, the name's tukson." The man said as I decide to ask a question I had when I saw him.
"Tukson, are you by chance a Faunus as well?"
He froze for a split second before answering, "yeah, I'm a puma Faunus and former member of the white fang atlas branch." He says introducing himself before continuing, "so do you know who you were carrying?" He asks as I shake my head no before putting the final book away.
"Well she is Blake belladonna and she is the princess to the kingdom of Menagerie, so she is quite the big deal." He says as I freeze up.
"Wait she was a princess?!!!" I shout making the puma Faunus wince, "lower your voice kid! This is a bookstore not a public park." Tukson said as we hear the doorbell ring and I see a woman with cat ears similar to Blake.
"Tukson have you seen my baby?! I figured she would be here!" The woman frantically say as I walk up to her and tug on her dress catching her attention.
"Are you by chance looking for Blake?" I ask her as she grabs me by the shoulders not noticing her clawed fingers were starting to dig into my shoulder blades.
"Yes her name is Blake! Is she here?!" She said with a hint of desperation in her voice as I hear a chuckle from tukson who was on the other side of the store.
So grabbing her hand I bring her to the back of the store where Blake was reading a children's book this time, one that had a picture of a boy wizard in front of a castle.
"BLAKE!!!" The woman shouts as she runs and hugs Blake, much to her displeasure, "mooom…please shtop! Blake asked her mother as her face was getting squished into her mother's breasts.
After a few more seconds she lets go and turns to me, "you must be the young man who helped my little girl, I take it tukson already told you about who she was and whom I am?" The woman asks as I didn't know her name, "no ma'am, I only know Blake is a princess of
Menagerie." I tell her honestly as she sighs before fixing her posture.
"Okay, my name is kali belladonna and I am Blake's mother and the queen of Menagerie, and your name is?" She introduces herself before asking my own name.
"Oh! My name is shirou…shirou emiya." I say to her as tukson who was now in the back bandaging Blake who was wincing at the alcohol being used on her skin.
"Well emiya you may not have noticed, but you're becoming quite the celebrity!" Kali says pulling out her scroll and showing me a forum which had videos of the fight.
There were over 500,000 people commenting on this forum alone! I was only offline for thirty minutes!
"Oh…well I didn't mean to become famous…I just came here to explore the city with my parents." I say anxiously as Kali chuckled, "fame will come for a person at one point or another, and they are calling you the god of war, mirroring the invincible girl Pyrrha nikkos!" Kali explained.
"Oh right, could I by chance make a call on your scroll? I left mine at home and need to call my dad." I ask her as I'm pretty sure mom and dad were probably looking for me while raven was scolding her kids to oblivion.
Kali nodded before I recited the number and waited a few seconds, and my dad was on video.
"SHIROU ABEL EMIYA!!! Where in the brothers are you?!!" Dad shouted as he waited for an answer, and I explain how I lost yang and ruby and went looking for them, and how I saved a princess and became an internet celebrity.
(Adam have shirou a middle name based on one of his sons.)
I see dad pinch his nose and sighs, "while it was good that you helped a child in need, you should have at least called called me on your scroll." Dad says before Kali switched to herself.
"Hi I'm Kali belladonna, Blake's mother and your son forgot his scroll at home." Kali said as out of the cameras view she's flashing a thumbs up.
"If you want sir I can walk your son back to where you are, I'll bring Blake along." Kali offers and I see dad nod his head before hanging up.
"Alright then, let's go you two! It's time to go to the park!!" Kali said enthusiastically as I grab Blake by the hand and I didn't notice her blushing at my touch.
And after twenty minutes we made our way to the street and I see mom, dad and the others were their, the only one I didn't know was a man with deep black hair and a groomed beard.
Mom noticed me first and waves at me, and after a few seconds dad sees Kali and walks over to me, "thank you for keeping an eye on my son, and shirou yang and ruby were at the cafe across the street, you didn't have to leave." Dad says as raven was scolding her daughter and niece about taking lien from her wallet.
And after a few minutes of scolding, we all turned to take the bullhead home, but as I was about to join my parents I feel someone grab my wrist and I see Blake blushing whil not making eye contact with her free hand on her mouth.
I stare at her for a few seconds before faster I could react she leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek before looking at me, "…mine…"
"…what?"
