章 6: A 'house'
Soon after Griff ended the call, Kalay tried to contact him again. He was still worried, Griff's voice sounded like he was in a really bad situation, maybe he needs help.
'Alles Lebendige stirbt eines Tages. Ob wir zum sterben bereit sind oder nicht, der Tag kommt si... *click*'
'Hey Griff, are you alright?'
[Yes... why shouldn't everything be alright?]
'Because you just screamed something about 'M.I.B' or so.'
[Huh? What do you mean? We haven't even talked to each other for a few hours and I never said something about 'M.I.B'.] Griff answered as if his memories of the last few minutes were completely gone.
Though Kalay knew that there was something weird about this, what was more important is that Griff is fine.
[By the way, I've gathered a few informations about this world and this city. It turns out, this city is the capital of the Alax kingdom. People simply call it Capital. Also, just now I heard some guy say that there will be a fighting tournament in a few days, should we join?] Griff asked.
He wants to finally test his powers against a human. Though he fought against Kalay many, many times he knows that he needs more fighting experience with other people, this tournament is the perfect chance for that.
'Sure, why not. I will try asking someone about it. Should we meet somewhere?' Kalay was equally interested in this tournament.
[I found a place that looks good to build a new house, let's meet there in an hour. I will send you the location through the system.]
'Ok, see you later'
[Bye.]
-1 hour and 20 minutes later-
Arrived at a small open place in the slums of the Capital. The slums are located at the edge of the city. There he spotted Griff. When he arrived near Griff he wanted to greet him but Griff was faster "You're exactly 20 minutes and 56 seconds late." he stared at Kalay angrily.
"I have a good reason for this! After the call I got hungry again and took a few cupcakes from my inventory but then a bird stole one of my cupcakes and, like anyone would do, I followed it and..."
After the explanation went on for around 16 minutes Griff finally lost his patience "Shut up! I understand! You are late and there was nothing you could do against it, I understand!"
A little smile formed on Kalay's face but as quick as it formed, it also vanished again.
Noticing something, Griff asked "You didn't mention asking someone about the tournament like you said you would, so do you need me to explain it to you?" Griff asked.
"Yes, please." Kalay answered sheepishly. He was a little ashamed of himself, first he is late and then he also didn't do what he said he would.
Griff then began explaining things to Kalay. He was still a little upset because of that long excuse so he stretched the explanation into a 20 minute long speach.
...
"I'm exhausted!" Kalay yelled while laying down on the ground. He just listened to a 20 minute long speach that contained 1 minute information. Of course, it was only mental exhaustion. For Kalay to be physically exhausted, he needs to transform into a Titan at least 70 times.
'Sweet revenge, hehe' an evil grin formed on Griff's face from seeing the state Kalay was currently in.
The information he shared with Kalay, in short, was that the tournament would be in 3 days and today and tomorrow was the last day one could sign up. The tournament was a fighting competition for teams, which must at least contain 3 people and a maximum of 5 people, so they still need one person for them to be able to sign up.
Their plan was to search for someone to join their team, they don't need to be powerful because Kalay and Griff were sure that they could cmpletely destroy the whole tournament even as 2-man team.
"Kalay, it's already late so we should begin with the house." the sun was setting.
"Yes, let's begin." after he said that he went to the small patch of grass a few meters ahead.
He covered his hands in Bosushoku Haki and began hitting the ground until there was a hole that was around the height of an average 10 year old child.
Standing in the hole, he bit his thumb and focused on his feet.
Instead of transforming into a huge monster, the flesh just appeared under his feet and then penetrated the earth.
He controlled the flesh under his feet and excavated a huge space underground, it looked as if giant tentacles that came from the feet of a young, bearded man were excavating a cave.
At the same time, he made pillars that supported the cave and also made rooms with his hardening ability.
The dirt that his flesh was excavating was transported to Kalay who stored it all in his inventory. A few minutes later, a huge underground base fully made out of hardened titan flesh was formed.
It had 20 rooms but, except for the bathrooms, all rooms don't have any furniture in them.
"It's ready. Come on, we still have work to do." Kalay looked at Griff who was sitting near him on the ground in a cross-legged position. Griff then got up and went to the hole in which Kalay was standing.
The dirt that was there just a minute ago was now replaced by a white trapdoor. Kalay opened it and under it was a white staircase, it led into the giant base. Kalay went down, he was closely followed by Griff.
As if he already had done this a hundred time, Griff directly went into the bathroom and filled the toilet tanks with water that he made with chakra. While he was doing that, Kalay was making chairs and a big table with his hardening ability. He then took some lamps out of his inventory that he bought 3 years ago. They were all working exclusively with rechargable batteries so that Griff could use a lightning Ninjutsu to charge them.
At last both chose a room for themselves and filled it with stuff from their inventory like huge beds, paintings they liked, etc...
When they were finally satisfied with their rooms, they left it and walked to the living room.
The first one who arrived there was Griff and soon after that Kalay also came.
"Now, that the house is ready, we can discuss what we will do tomorrow." Griff started the conversation.
"Tomorrow you will go with me and then we will seek a good teammate together, unlike today, you won't just eat cupcakes the whole time while I do the whole work." he continued.
Kalay sighed "So... no cupcakes tomorrow?" Griff's eye and eyebrow twitched.
'How can he only think about cupcakes?!' Kalay's character is truly weird.
"No cupca.... *sigh* you will eat cupcakes the whole day anyway so, why do I even try to make you work?" from the 3 years they lived together he knew that the only things that could motivate Kalay were: Food (especially sweets), little girls, training and fights.
When he heard that, Kalay felt a little guilty. He noticed that he really hasn't done a thing since coming to Axal, so he wanted to help Griff out.
After a few seconds of silence he said something unbelievable "Ok, you won. No cupcakes tomorrow." while he was saying this, he closed his eyes.
Though he could control his body good enough to not shed any tears, his eyes would somehow still become red and he doesn't want Griff to see it.
He was wondering why Griff didn't say anything so he opened his eyes again.
What he saw was a sharp kunai that was currently only a millimeter away from his throat. It was held by Griff who was staring at him with sharp eyes. Though he is a great fighter, he is extremely bad at sensing, for example, Griff just now.
Griff then said wtih a wary voice "Who are you and what have you done to Kalay?!"
'...'
'...'
'I should learn Kenbunshoku Haki'
