章 71: Banshee part: 1
Hayato, Maya, Alyra, and Dye were at the entrance of the kingdom, near the post where the knights stay. Alyra, Maya, and Dye were sat on a rock bench, they had tired faces cleaning the blood from their bodies with some water and a piece of cloth that Hayato brought them
Their clothes were a little messy, but they are still useful except for Alyra's sweater that has a hole in her stomach, she wanted to give Hayato the black sweater they bought him but he gave it to her saying that she needs it more than him and she wore the sweater it fits her almost perfectly but she said that was a little tight on her chest area
( Hayato POV )
I was seeing Maya with a calm face, she had her head still bowed cleaning her face, I turn to see Alyra and Dye they had faces full of doubt, but no none of them said anything they just smile at me
" You are going the let me see that necklace or not? " I asked Maya with a calm face
Maya extended her hand with the necklace in it, but she didn't see me to the face, I smile a little and Alyra and Dye have faces of doubt seeing Maya acting so shy
I grabbed the necklace to then open the little sun that contains a photo of my previous self and when I see the picture I was surprised ' This photo is from when I painted the garage, I thought she left at that time ' I speak to Maya again without taking my eyes from the photo " So it was true it has a photo of my previous self "
Alyra and Dye see my face with uncertainty, they don't understand what I meant by my old self
" Are you angry? " Maya asked me with a shy voice as she has her head bow
I smiled a little I returned the necklace to then say to her " No, I don't care if you have a photo, but you never told me that you took me a photo when I was painting that garage, I wonder, how many did you take? "
Maya has her head still bowed and says softly " I-I just maybe took two or maybe six "
I make a wry smile when I hear her " Well, let's forget about that, we have a mission to do, I think this time you three will stay, I will give you my collar this will ensure your safety " I pointed to my neck while I was talking to them
Maya was surprised and stands up to then say with a serious face " I'm still too exhausted to fight, but at least I want to go with you, I believe that Alyra and Dye think the same as me "
' Here we go again, why she doesn't want to stay here and rest ' I shake my head and say " No, you only will get in my way, you said it before, the Banshee is very dangerous! " I was annoyed and I show her my Sharingan, maybe she will stay if I threaten her a little
Maya grinds her teeth and she begins to yell at me with an angered face " Even if you show me that Sharingan of yours! there's no way that you can separate me from you! and much less when you are going to fight a Banshee! " She walks in front of me until we are face to face, some adventurers turn to see us, and some of them had very obvious thoughts like ' A lovers quarrel? ' or ' FIGHT A BANSHEE!? '
Alyra takes Maya's left hand from behind, she starts to speak to her with a nervous smile " Maya, maybe we should listen Hayato " Dye was seeing us with surprise but she didn't say anything
Maya frees her hand from Alyra's grab and shouted " NO!! "
She starts to annoy me so I yelled at her another one of my reasons " Damn it, Maya! you don't get it! we are being followed by those guys from Shokan City! you three will be safe here! "
Maya starts to cry a little and she screamed with anger " Of course, I know! I felt those bastards from the moment we arrived here! "
I saw her with surprise ' I forgot that she can also feel the presence of other people ' but I still want her to stay so I yelled at her with a cold face " Then why are you so stubborn!? just stay here with Alyra and Dye! "
" I don't want you to leave me!! " Maya screamed with a painful expression while a lot of tears began to fall from her beautiful eyes. She jumps against me to hug me tightly, I can feel her soft and delicate body through her armor and my robes. She hides her face in my shoulder, I can feel that she is shaking, then she begins to speak with a very hoarse voice " You don't know how much pain I felt the last time... if you are going to die... at least let me die with you "
" Maya... " I move my head to see her and I pat her head " You win, okay, now let's go before night arrives "
" Hmm " Maya only nods softly but she didn't separate from me, Alyra and Dye were seeing me with sweet smiles, and I only smiled at them wryly, after a few minutes Maya finally released me, she isn't crying anymore, but her eyes were a little red, she sees me to the eyes and smiles sweetly
I flicked Maya's nose as I say " I have a map that will guide us there, you three won't fight against the Banshee and I will leave a clone to protect you "
Maya covers her nose with both of her hands and nodded with a happy face, we walked to the outside of the city, where I take out the map that the Vice-Guild Master give me and I began to read it ' Well, I just need to go to the east, the Vice-Guild Master said that it will take me a day to arrive at the swamp, it seems that we can't use any transport to go there, that's a shame '
" Hayato where do we need to go? " Alyra asked with a smile
" We have to go to the east, but I have a great idea that will save us some time " I took out a kunai and I throw them at a bunch of trees, I aim at the tree in the middle, and the kunai impacted the tree and stays there
" What are you doing Hayato? " Dye made a curious face
" Wait a second " I smile at her and I began to make hand seals " Kage Bunshin No Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Jutsu) " *PUFF* a clone appears next to me " Now wait here " I activated my Raiton Chakura Mōdo (Lightning Style Armour) to then start to run at my full speed to the east
Alyra, Maya, and Dye saw me in shock and they turned to see the clone " What do you have on mind Hayato? " Maya asked with surprise
The clone turns to see her and says " He will cover a great distance that way and when the original arrives at the Black Swamp, he will leave a mark of his Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Jutsu) he will teleport you there "
" That's a good idea, but he will take a few hours to arrive there, we can use that time to rest a little " Maya makes a little smile and sits on the ground, Alyra and Dye follow her the clone stays still watching the entrance of the kingdom ' They are only watching, why they don't try to attack us now? ' the clone makes a serious face

( Author POV )
Inside a room in a Hostel. A group of men that look like adventurers are seeing in the direction of the entrance of the kingdom, from this angle they can't see Hayato and his group
" Now, my lord? " A middle-aged man said with a serious face. he has a scar on his lips, black eyes, and black hair
A young man with brown hair and blue eyes began to speak " No, after what happened on the street before, I noticed what kind of power he has and no one of us can beat him " The young man was Roland Keller, he has a very cold face as he is seeing the entrance from the window
" Then we need help " The middle-aged man approaches him with a serious face
Roland takes out a broken green stone from his pocket then he says " I already break the amulet that my father gave me, he will come here with reinforcements soon, we just need to track him "
The middle-aged man nods and sees through the window " I see, my lord "
" My lord! " A young man around 25 years old entered the room
The middle-aged man turns to see him and says " What's wrong, Cain? "
" The guy took a quest from the guild! " The young man responded with a serious face
" We already know it " The middle-aged man makes an annoyed face and turns around to the window
" Well, that's right, captain but he is going to fight a Banshee! " The young man spoke with a nervous face
" A Banshee! That's crazy! " The middle-aged man turns to see him with shock and some other of the men that were in the room react the same way as him until...
Roland snorts coldly and says with an angered voice " Hmph, that idiot I hope he doesn't get killed, I want to torture him to death for what he made to my brother "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hayato kept running to the Black Swamp leaving a trail of dust where he passed he crossed a big frozen place without any trees, he saw a few small monsters on his way, but nothing worth his time, until he arrived at a place full of trees with lianas hanging from them and a lot of water under the trees ' it must be here ' Hayato looks from right to left ' Well, if I'm seeing to the east, I only need to go to the left inside the swamp and she will be there ' Hayato entered the swamp and *Cough* he coughs the moment he entered then he jumped back ' What a horrible smell, I suppose I have to do it outside the swamp ' Hayato throws a kunai on the floor and disappears
The clone disappears without leaving a cloud of smoke and Hayato appeared in front of Maya, Alyra, and Dye they smile
Maya stands up and smiles " You only took two hours to arrive there, so we leave now? "
" It was a very clear path, now give me your hands I will take you there " Hayato stretches his hand towards them and they grab it, then they disappeared
A man hiding behind the trees where Hayato throws his kunai looks out from behind a tree " Thank God, I thought he saw me before, I have to report this to my lord, he not only can clone himself, he even can use Space Magic "
" Don't forget that he can use Lightning Magic " A voice sounds behind him, and together with the sound of chirping birds scaring him a lot, he turns around and *STAB* A hand penetrates his chest. It was the clone that disappeared, the man had an incredulous look and his head begin to hang from his body
[ ' Bing!, You receive 1000 System Points ' ]
" Well, that will save me a lot of problems, time to go " The clone changed the place of the kunai, and *PUFF* he disappears leaving the dead body there
On the edge of the Black Swamp, Hayato was smiling with satisfaction
" Why are you smiling from nowhere? " Dye asked with a smile
" I remembered something funny, now let's go " Hayato walks near the swamp and takes out Tobi's mask from his inventory to then wear it
Maya smiles widely " Tobi's mask?! it looks great! " She walks in front of Hayato and scans every part of the mask with admiration
Hayato was following Maya with his head while she was moving her head around " This will help me to breathe inside the swamp, I don't know what's going on but the air there is disgusting "
Alyra makes a serious face and asks " What kind of smell? "
Hayato turns to see her and says calmly " I don't know the smell but is bad, it made me cough the moment I entered the swamp "
" There is a Vampire Vine there! " Alyra yelled with shock, surprising Hayato
" A Vampire Vine? what is that? " Hayato asked with curiosity
Maya began to speak with a very serious face " The Vampire Vine is a monster with the form of a plant, it drains the blood and energy of everything that crosses his way, it has the appearance of an octopus, that thing uses his vines to move slowly and it can spread them in a long-distance, trapping living monsters or people with a very sticky resin, the odor you said before fits perfectly in how the resin smells "
" But if it smells that bad, how does that thing trap something? " Dye makes a face of doubt
Alyra responds to her with a serious face " For a monster is the normal smell of another creature but humans can detect it, it causes coughs, so I think you can smell it in your human form Dye, but when you transform the smell will change for you, that's why there aren't so many human victims, but if the smell is strong that means that the vines are at least a few kilometers long "
" Damn, then I have to beware about that thing too " Hayato shakes his head and thinks ' That thing wasn't on the quest request '
Alyra walks in front of Hayato and she grabs his hands to then say with worry " Hayato be very careful! if the Vampire Vine traps you with his extremely adhesive gum it will be almost impossible to cut it or free yourself from his grasp! "
Hayato nods and asks " Okay and how do his vines look? "
Alyra speaks with a serious face again " His vines are black in color, nearly black hue and they are always on the ground so watch your steps "
" Okay I will go now " Hayato turns around and walks to the swamp ' It's already night but I don't have time to waste I have to become stronger '
