The festival was honestly fun. Stands everywhere for both food and games.
You could hear music and laughter everywhere. I have been having a blast.
One of the game stand owners tried to cheat. So I used my quirk to cheat back. And win all the top prizes.
I gave the plushies to the girls while I'm walking down with a new MP3 player. Which I will probably never use again.
"Did you have to cheat?" Tetsuya just deadpans at me
I put my hand over my heart " Cheat!? Me!? How could you? You know I am an honest and law-abiding citizen" *innocent face*
"Rightt... If that's true I'm the Queen of England" Tetsuya grumbles
"Well in that case all hail Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth III, known to close friends as Tetsuya." I make an exaggerated bow to him
"Yeah yeah laugh it up. I hope you choke on your spit you asshole...Off-topic real quick what are the odds that this queen lives as long as the one from 200 years ago?" Tetsuya
"You mean Elizabeth the II? Well considering she is royalty and has a butt load of money. She can afford those quirks that increase lifespan, so unless she is assassinated she will probably live a long time"
"What are you guys talking about" Momo and Ran came back from their try at the stand
"A dead old grandma and her new great-granddaughter that will be joining her" Tetsuya says offhandedly and I smack him on the back of the head
"Heyyy!!" He wines as he holds his head
"Don't tell them things like that you idiot. They are nine!"
"Well so are you"
*Facepalm*
Ughh
"Never mind, just don't do it in front of them. If you do they will tell my mom and she will nag me for days. So in revenge, I will tell your mother that you used swear words in front of children" I point at him
"But I didn't!"
"Think she will care" I answer back with a grin
"You are a special kind of bastard" He grinds his teeth
"Thank you, it's nice to get complimented for your hard work. Being me isn't easy you know"
"Fine you goddamn narcissist, I'll watch what I say" He crosses his arms
"Momo, Ran keep this a secret. It's very important stuff. I'm counting on you"
Their faces brighten up at my comment " "Okey~ We Promise~" "
God, they are naive. I need to fix that before they enter high school. Well, at least they'll keep quiet.
I turn around and glare at the nearest bodyguard who should have heard us. He just brings his hand near his mouth and makes a zipper motion.
It's really no big deal. But my mother can keep on talking for hours. That woman just won't stop. I can mute her, but I will still have to stay near her and pretend I'm listening.. I will not waste my time like that. Especially now, whit all the things I have on my plate.
[Attention. The Fireworks will begin soon. For those that wish to watch it up close. Please go there without running and pushing. There is still more than enough time. Thank you]
"Well lets start heading to the hill, we didn't reserve a place there for nothing" Momo says excitedly
I shrug my shoulders "Sure we can head there now"
Halfway to the Hill, I hear the sounds of plates hitting each other, I turn to the sound and to my surprise there he was. A tiny old man was scarfing down bowls of different dishes and stacking the empty ones on top of each other. There were 4 stacks of 15 bowls approximately.
He lets out a soft burp.
"Haa, that hit the spot, what place is next on the list?" Chen asked the man beside him, he looked like his secretary with that notepad to be honest
"Mr.Chen the next on the list is the Spicy Chinese Noodle Stand." He spoke softly and evenly without any changes in his voice
"Hmmm, Spicy huh... move it down the list, I want something with bread right now."
"All right, there is that Pizza stand on the other side near the Hill" the secretary suggests
" Pizza.. Yeah, Pizza sounds good" he says while playing with his mustache
*Woosh* 3 figures dashed towards Chen each from a different angle, one of them even came in from above. They had daggers with a serrated edge and weird points. You could tell that the daggers weren't designed to do fatal damage. More like scratching the skin through whatever the victim is wearing to poison them,
Chen acted as if he hasn't noticed the people rushing at him with daggers. He quickly took the bowl that fell out of the owner's hand and started eating.
Right as the first attacker was within 2 meters of Chen. Kanoh appeared behind him grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground. The attacker's face would definitely be disfigured judging by the force used to from the crack on the road.
Seeing their comrade taken down so quickly made the other two freeze up. The rest of Chen's bodyguards didn't miss the opportunity.
Two guards delivered a strong heavy kick to the torso of one of the attackers. While the other attacker who tried to do an atrial attack each of his limbs was broken by the two nearest guards.
I actually facepalm at their stupidity. I mean I knew that any amateur could take the job since it was an open contract. But really, jump at the target?
"Well done Kanoh. You know what to do with them. I want to know why I was attacked" Chen
"It will be done" Kanoh bows lightly. The other guards grab the attackers without Kanoh even saying anything to them.
Then I sew that out of the corner of his eye he looked directly at us. His eyes lit up a bit, showing me that he recognized us.
The air starts to shift. Tetsuya was pressured by his gaze, he let go of the carefree act and tenses up all his muscles.
I just focus on Kanoh and flare my Killing Intent with my Battle Lust. He lifts an eyebrow at me and starts walking near us. With each step, it seems that the air between us is thicker and harder to breathe. The tension is off the charts. He stops about 10 meters from us.
"Shinichi Kodo, Yuuki Tetsuya. Your fame is well deserved I see. Especially you Kodo." Kanoh starts it off with a monotone voice
Tetsuya was surprised that a man of Kanohs caliber knows us. I just put my hand on his shoulder to calm him down. Kanoh isn't very well known in the 'light side' of the world. When he isn't on guard duty he fights in underground tournaments and death matches. So in Tetsuya's perspective a dangerous man working as a bodyguard approached us and called us out.
"It's an honor that someone as strong as you knows us. I have to say your fame proceeds you" I say with a fake smile on my face. (Sai smile)
"Hoh you know of me. I thought I wasn't very well known to the public" Kanoh smirks
Tetsuya just keeps quiet and lets me do all the talking.
"You aren't, it took quite a bit of digging to find you. Kanoh Agito 'The Fang' " I answer back, Kanoh starts to increase the pressure on us " And for what reason did you look for me"
I just drop my fake smile and force my very being on him. "Because you are strong. Strength seeks out Strenght. I keep a list of any strong person in my vicinity. After all, you never know who you might fight with."
"And you would? Fight me I mean" he looked like he was about to jump at us at any moment
" Oh most definitely. But not now, you are working, and I'm not quite ready yet. I'll be seeing you in a few years. Then we can have one of those underground matches you seem to like to fight in" he narrows his eyes at my last comment
"How did you find out abou.." he stops himself then smiles "Strenght seeks out Strenght huh"
"Our very Strenght incites Challenge. Why do you think so many villains just go and attack heroes. To prove that they are stronger. Do I need any reason other than that?"
He just outright chuckled at my last comment
"And you are the perfect opponent for me. I remain undefined so far and as far as I know you as well. There are only a few people that can challenge me from the good side of the world. So of course I would turn my sights to the underground matches " I say directly looking at his eyes*
"Hahahaha! Very Well. I Kanoh Agito accept your challenge. No matter how long it takes. I will wait for you in my strongest form. And we shall see if you have what it takes to surpass me. Shinichi Kodo" he turned his back on us and went back to his Employer.
