Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Olive Dale.
After some days of travelling, & a long while since he farewelled Capybara bear & his family, Shotaro Mugyiwara is still on his journey to find olive dale, finding it hard to fight off the wild ass adversaries of his path that try to murk him, without using Alakshmi.
"It seems like" He said tiredly, "I let the habit of constantly blowing shit away from Alakshmi, so much I now find it challenging to just beat the shit out of them with hands", he looked at his hands, kinda purple with bruises & cuts, "They are going to be useless in a while at this point", as he remembers the accident with Freya, her screams of pain & agony as her armour melted into her skin, due to HIS fault.
"No" He says to himself, "I won't use this katana until it listens to me".
Not wanting another thing like that to happen.
Then finally, after 3 weeks of travel by legs, he saw, the huge, tall walls.
"They are well above 700 meters" Shotaro said looking up, "take it or leave it that is".
Town reached: Olive Dale.
"Where do you keep coming out from?" Shotaro exclaimed in surprise, pointing towards Mela, who was busy scribbling down.
"Don't mind me, instant flying speed you know" She said before hovering beyond the horizon.
"I am going to crave chicken wings one of these days if she keeps doing that" he said, in an irritated, borderline fed-up tone.
He then reached the wall, the gates were locked, he trynna knock.
"Whose there" One guard said.
"I want to come inside" Shotaro answered.
"No, I will get pregnant" The guard replied in a serious tone.
"That's not what I meant" Shotaro said, a red blush spreading across his light brownish cheeks, "& You're a grown ass man, you can't even get pregnant".
He calms down, "I just wanna enter the capital" Shotaro said.
"On what basis" The guard asked from the other side".
"Cause the voices in my head tell me to" Shotaro said annoyed, "now open the fucking door".
"Nah fam you alone in this" The guard answered, "matter-of-factly, you can be up to no good".
"Hell nah" Shotaro said now pissed off, putting a hand on his katana's handle, he said, "Let's see what is up to what" he said, before the traumatic flashback of Freya's anguish echoed back into his head, reminding him of his problem as he lets the blade go.
Only for a barrel of hot, burning, boiling vegetable oil was launched from the other side, felling right upon, setting him in a blazy agony.
But he just had survived 400 hours of being eaten alive by again & again, compared to that, the boiling oil felt like a sauna to him, so he just stood there, his skin blistered & burnt, only for him to heal back into normal in just a while.
Seeing him pull stuff like this, even the guards gasped in surprise & somewhat impressed tone, "damn, he was HIM all along".
"Can I come in now".
"Give me a second".
The guard asked the guard master, "what should we do, boss?".
"Let him in" The guard master said as he recognised the man with the black sword, "He is the one known as Shotaro Mugyiwara, a son of Gaia, some blonde barb was singing a song about him & his...deeds".
"Let him in, he may come handy".
"Damn I didn't know Mela spread my stuff like this" Shotaro said remembering the weird ass barb girl as he entered the capital, being greeted by lush green vegetation, combined with beautiful elvish Architecture, many cathedral, some medic shops, & the capital was green, near a river, so it was named Olive Dale.
He witnessed the large ass castle, where the royal elvish family resided, it dwarfed even the walls the city was covered in.
"Doesn't that just goes against the point of these walls" Shotaro said confused, "I mean with a canon & the castle can be easily blown down, considering how tall it is".
"The wall protects the peasants" a voice came from behind him, "The castle is protected by an invisible force Field".
He looked behind to see a pale, blonde boy, with greenish golden eyes, if he had longer hair, he would have mistaken him for a woman, it was a beautiful sight for his eyes...mayhap for his cock too.
"I am Kazam, son of Alaka" the man offered his hand, "& you are presumingly Shotaro Mugyiwara, the man with the sword".
"How did you even" Shotaro said.
"I have contacts with the Simetris" he replied, "I am a little adventurer myself too".
"But you" he added, "Are already his great favourite".
"Oh & why are you here" Shotaro asked bluntly.
"Because I have a home to go" the asshole said, "unlike you".
"Sonofabitch" Shotaro muttered seeing through his pretty & kind face, "I knew all femboys are evils".
"What's a femboy?" he asked.
"Don't bother yourself with it" Shotaro said.
"Some people in the town heard about you" Kazam added, "some even await you".
"You're quite a legend already at the start of your career".
"What do they even require me for?" Shotaro asked bewildered, "the city seems great".
"Then you are really the biggest dumbfuck with a sword, as they said after hearing about you" Kazam said annoyed.
"They say what?" Shotaro exclaimed, "now I am close to reconsidering helping" in an annoyed tone himself.
Kazam grabbed his hands, his big masculine hands with his feminine ones as he took him on a venture"
"The city is in chaos" He said, "The queen is drunk".
Suddenly, Shotaro eyes met with the thrones hidden inside roses, he saw people, sick, hungry, drunk & dead.
He saw a sight that will make Bihar look like Singapore.
Complete utter chaos.
Children, running around, naked, their skeleton showing, there was an old guy eating a dead corpse of an infant, mothers were poisoning some of their children to feed the rest of the family, man were murdering each other, girls, woman, even grandmas were being publicly raped, nobody did anything about it, some of the rapist, were the guards & soldiers themselves, as they joined in to enjoy the fragile beauty of some girls.
This city was truly double faced, a paradise from far away & god's hated abomination when you actually enter it.
"Disgusting isn't it" Kazam said, "imaging waking up to it, existing along with it & sleep between it all damn times".
That was the moment Shotaro felt like he should just let Alakshmi run wild & eradicate these creatures, he can't believe they all were even sentient beings, it nearly looked like Manchester, wait no, that's an overstatement, One of the deepest filthiest corner of existence & other is....this place.
"Can't speak right" Kazam said, "You ventured all those weeks, just to come to this place".
"Tell me, what can I do?" Shotaro said.
"First, tell me what can YOU do? About it" Kazam said, "Great saviour" he added sarcastically.
"Well I can go in & beat the queen up" He said.
"Beating up a drunk old hag" Kazam said, "Not much hero like".
"Maybe you're right" Shotaro replied, suddenly he saw a drunk walking past them as he looked at Kazam, "Hey Sweet hole" he said in a drunken way "Keep your asshole neat & clean, daddy's coming tonight".
Shotaro said Kazam clenching his arm in shame,
"Who is it, your new customer?" The drunken man said as Kazam replied, "Yeah, & god his cock is bigger than what i usually intake", he lied as the drunken man walked away.
"You're no ordinary adventure" Shotaro said, connecting the dots, "You're an ass seller".
"Wait--no" Kazam said in embarrassment, "I prefer prostitute but--".
"My father is always sick" he explains, "& all I had were my girlish charm so, for his sake, I fully made a woman of myself" tears nearly came out of his eyes, "I travelled lands, find men & I---".
"Sold your body for some coins" Shotaro said in an understanding tone, "That's cool, you are bigger man than the ones that fill your ass, because you do it for a purpose" he says in a motivating tone.
His words were enough for Kazam to break down, never have he met a man who didn't make fun or mocked him, enough for him to run away.
"Wait" Shotaro said as he tried to follow him but lost his way in the complicated city.
Where he saw even more filth, that made his mind, if there are even a handful of people in the city that genuinely awaited him, he ain't leaving the city before fixing it.
So he began marching towards the castle until his face got burned off his skull as he walked into an invisible force field.
"I porgott labout tit" he babbled as his face regenerated back still.
"Listen here, the castle is surrounded by a force field that is the same that separates strongholds with our plane of reality, don't even try" the board said.
"You know what exactly destroys a stronghold with all its space time" Shotaro said pissed off, "My fucking swo---" FREYA PTSD INTENSIFIED he pulled his hand away from the hilt of his katana.
But he knew he had to do something, so he tried to punch his way inside.
HE PUNCHES & PUNCHES the field REPEATEDLY.
His fist burned & withered away, only to be regenerated instantly as his regeneration is fastened when adrenaline is present in his body, the reason why he heals in an instant during battle even the most fatale wounds but struggles to heal bruises he gets in accidents during his journey.
Suddenly his hand successfully went through the barrier only for a second before vaporising, but it all it took for him to intensify, he decides to jump through it so fast, his regeneration heals him faster than the barrier burning him.
IT FUCKING WORKS.
"Woah" Shotaro said, "it worked".
He tried to find the queen & talk her out of drunkenness & if she doesn't, BEAT IT OUT OF HER cause who said that 'A hero can't use a good old woman beating once in a while to save people', so he walked around the castle, the elvish architecture was boggling, even for a son of Gaia like him.
"It's giving some Ottoman with a bit of catholic Russian" He said to himself until his nose was driven with a sweet smell, almost mind controlling, wait....quite literally mind controlling.
Shotaro now have only one chunk of his memories, but he does knew that.
HE FUCKING LOVES FRESH MANGOES.
"damn" He said as he walked into the royal elvis garden, not only mangoes but all fruits there looked tempting, maybe cause they were..in a way.
He can't control it, like a gluttinous ape, he began to eat everything in sight, first the fruits, but then he even devouvered the flowers since the mind effect intesified.
"Huh" he wakes up from his sleep, "I fell asleep?"
"Who the fuck is that?" a feminine voice exclaimed in background as he saw a girl, younger than him, she looked like a middle school girl, not womanly in any way, she had the same golden hair & green eyes combo that others have, but she looked like she wears tank tops instead of bras, like an early teenager, her hips were'nt child bearing as much as he found on his other advasaries, her chest was flat, not suitable for a baby to suck on, it was trully some 10th standard girl in royal clothing.
"I uhh" he tried to explain.
"Wait" the girl pointed at him.
You're the hero.
