~Tatsumi POV~
*Splash*
Today it was my turn to clean the house for today while it was Sayo and Ieyasu's turn to hunt down the Danger Beast for today. While I am stuck here doing house cleaning every time we take turns cleaning our house.
Our house is a two-story house that we made to collect materials for them but at the same time, it is a two-story house that we made to collect materials for them, the villagers made us very comfortable to stay while we collected the materials for them.
Hell, I managed to give the core to the Chieftain as well as some fur coats to him as a gift and use it to sell to the merchants. But I still save some for the chat members because I think Ruby and the others will appreciate some armor.
Most likely Saeko once his world is invaded with zombies and then these things will become a savior against that undead bastard. Try to bite your way out of this one, the undead sickos, let's see how long they last.
I wonder if Hinata would like this as a defense as well.
I may not be a fashionista or a clothing maker, but maybe she can do something with the Marg Panther Cubs feathers into her ninja gear.
*Splash*
Cleaning the dishes in my house, I had to wonder how different everything was to the canon with me as the main character. I have to work hard to get where I am now even food poisoning myself eating Danger Beast meat hoping to gain their abilities.
How do I judge myself in what kind of anime world might be above the average of others or even average in others? At least that's how high I give an opinion about myself that I value but still how can I reach the level of Esdeath immediately?
*Beep*
[Dig! LittleRed and SwordBae are online!]
Oh?
So only Ruby and Saeko available today means Hinata has to be busy with other things. Must have trained his skills or been too preoccupied with ninja politics about his clan's slavery.
But I casually started talking to the two as I spoke happily to them to become a character for them.
LittleRed: Hello Tatsumi and Saeko how are you today.
Swordbae: Hello again Ruby and Tatsumi are happy as usual.
EsdeathB***h: Yes, yes, Ruby and Saeko are happy to see you again.
LittleRed: Hey Tatsumi what are you doing
household chores? I heard Hinata say that you have friends so you live all together or apart?
EsdeathB***h: All together actually because we pay rent-free. The only concern was hunting food for our village while they had people that we happened to bring along with my friends. We owe them a lot for taking care of us at least.
SwordBae: Yes, I remember you talking about it before. So how exactly did you help your home village, I mean other than your plan to become a General or gain a high status of power?
EsdeathB***h: Sure, I don't mind explaining but there's not much to explain other than that we usually hunt and sell Danger Beasts for spare parts and the point is that they're valuable for us to use.
When I finished saying that to them, it seemed that they were confused by what I meant. Looks like I might need to explain this to them a little more about how we work using the Danger Beast.
As I explained the two about the Danger Beast's usefulness, I ascertained what it was without telling them about Teigu since Saeko would realize my mistake.
Inadvertently, the real Tatsumi doesn't know about Teigu until he forcibly joins the Night Raid or faces a quick death from them. I wouldn't make the same mistake as him in manga and anime.
Playing smart is what keeps people alive in the game called life. But still getting Ruby's ability from Aura and Semblances would be too good to waste.
However, I greatly underestimated the little red veil of her attitude of trusting people but from what I remember she had to be gullible but never talked about [Aura] at all. He did not mention much about his family background other than he was a father and sister who took care of him by mentioning uncle Qrow.
At least Ruby wasn't as gullible as she seemed.
Maybe if we are forced into a dangerous situation it will make its choice. Even Ruby's kind man nature couldn't help but give us [Aura] if the situation needed it. Though I wonder why he doesn't talk much about it.
He even explained what the Grimm was to us was there a reason behind it or something that was not mentioned in the RWBY event?
At least I'll keep that knowledge when it's needed but if the situation forces us into a very dangerous quest then I'll talk about my knowledge. I am lucky that in this world we have manga because I can use it as a backwards plan if they question my knowledge of the world.
Even though I started to be friends with them, at least for me, we kept a lot to ourselves in order not to reveal much.
EsdeathB***h: Here you go ladies, here's the skin of the most advanced Danger Beast Class 4 Marg Panther Cubs that you're really skinned with. This skin has rock-like properties here although it is soft.
LittleRed: Oh, those feathers look good but do they really have stone properties? And also, how big these kids I mean they're still babies.
SwordBae: Tell me how exactly did you kill them? Is it fast and painless?
EsdeathB***h: Brutal and mocking them as necessary because they die slowly and painfully.
Now it caught their attention as Ruby looked at me in shock as I said that with a smile on my face while Saeko looked at me in surprise as it shook them.
And I'm also not kidding what I'm saying is the truth.
Before they could answer though I made my case when I spoke to them in a serious tone.
EsdeathB***h: Before the two of you argue, let me remind you that I live in a world where people get killed is common. And my master taught us that we can't always be nice to our enemies especially the Danger Beast because they hate us so much for killing the same as Ruby with the Grimm. I mocked and enjoyed the fun.
LittleRed: Maybe so, but how do you say it...
EsdeathB***h: Cruel.inhuman. Really sadistic even. Then yes, then, I was just about those things but that Danger Beast was not a joke even the lowest and weakest dangerous to the humans living here because of the terrifying Marg Panther Cub the size of a one-story house.
SwordBae: Wait, you said a tiger cub was the size of a one-story house rather than an adult version of that panther?
It seemed like Ruby stopped about her speech and pride saying what was right and wrong how I treated my enemy when she realized how dangerous the little cat was.
The objects were arguably death traps due to their size and fur which made it difficult to kill normally. Although it took a few bullets to pierce through the skin of his fur, it took time to do so and his children would not wait to be killed.
Plus be sure to compare them to the Grimm in Ruby's eyes will make her realize that she treats them just as much as I treat the Danger Beast. Although there were similarities between the two, the difference lay in the Danger Beast being alive and the Grimm not only being useless and also absurd.
Although giving Ruby the doubt of treating this Danger Beast as a living being to be cared for was impossible, I returned to our conversation.
EsdeathB*h: Yes, the adult size is roughly as high as two houses but the old one is said to be twice as large. Although I have never seen her in my life, I am not sure to let her children live if they are close to my home. It was either them or my house because you can see what I chose instead.
LittleRed: Oh... I understand sorry but do you have to kill them like you said?
EsdeathB***h: Sorry Ruby but not. I needed an outlet to release my frustration and had to resort to violence. It helps living in this world a little honestly if Saeko explains to me how the Empire works, I can't help but feel frustrated. If I were to let myself be pent up, I would definitely explode at some point at least this I would not be an emotional time bomb ticking. Not like last time...
SwordBae: Wait like last time?
With a sigh, I knew this part would come out soon and honestly, I knew, I don't want to explain how I snapped when I was 10 years old killing an entire attack in indiscriminate rage after witnessing my master's death.
Adding the facts of my personal past life and being in an Akame ga Kill situation I was really lucky I didn't snap faster at some point other than 10 years later.
But they saw how reluctant I was, they would say if I didn't want to. Honestly, although I don't mind someone listening to my story even I have my faults.
So with that, I explained to them in detail what happened through the text log but made a certain term for myself as I explained in detail about the event. And justifying the way I look at my enemies along with my personality changes along with the traumatic event.
They eat it even though it is technically true. Saeko's expression seemed to be more interested in me while Ruby looked at me with pity. Goody.
Using pity was also useful but Saeko seemed to be attracted to me but a jealous look was clearly visible in her eyes. Guessing that he couldn't vent his dark side like I could in this world was bound to explode soon or not.
When a zombie outbreak occurs though I can't help but pity the encounter of the undead possibly Esdeath's comrade being Saeko opens his true self. If only this was a persona game, would this be an incredible event for Saeko?
But it seems that after listening to my story, we only spoke a little before the two left me alone with my thoughts. Still, it was a sad moment, I hope I make an impression of both when the time comes.
When the first quest comes down, I need Saeko to embrace her darkest personality and Ruby to realize how evil humans are and willing to kill. I'm not going to force them just that they have to evolve from this state there or die.
None of me learned that the hard way.
Sighs...
Comforting myself from the depression was funk I reached the lower room towards the closet as I opened the door and showed some cleaning supplies as I spoke happily, "Alright Tatsumi is enough with that pathetic nonsense! I need to start cleaning this place!"
There is no time like the present to be a clean master.
