Chapter 294: Ch 4: Weirdos

Arsehole guild Dave and Tequila around to the back of the Inn. The path had barrels and crates stacked up, and some old plastic-looking tarps were covering some of them.

"Is this all because of the rat problem?" Dave asked Arsehole, but then also asked. "Why do they call you Arsehole? Do you have a real name?"

"Jigs, but Ma calls me Arsehole so much that it just stuck, I don't know. Stuff is stacked out here cause of the rats," Jigs said, gesturing to the stuff.

Jigs was not the brightest, and a bit slow, but Dave didn't mind. Someone like this would be much better than a person that was too clever for their own good.

After weaving around, and making their way down the back alley, they reached the back of the Inn. The area was twelve by seven meters wide and there was a large barn directly behind the Inn.

"Jigs! You bring out a new group for the rats to eat?" Called the voice of a man that was similar to Dave's age.

"Mhmm," said Jigs.

A man dressed in a dirty brown bib overall and no shirt cam walking out to the barn. He had long brown hair and a long face with bright green eyes.

"Hey there! Name is Henry, or Bro like the mouth breathers say inside! You have already met Jigs I see… now that's weird," Henry said, looking at Dave and Tequila while tilting his head.

"They already asked about my name," Jigs said.

"Shut the front door! A Demon asked what your name was? I'll be, I must see every type to walk back to this door, but you're a bit different aren't you?" Henry said, stepping forward to give Dave a once over, again.

"Just let them go. It Doesn't matter if he doesn't come back up. Make friends after they come back," Jigs said, shaking his head like his brother was the slow one.

Dave turned to Tequila, but she had a reprehensible smile on her face that said this no longer sounded like a plan. Dave sighed, and then reached out his hand to her, but she came in to give him a quick and passionate kiss, while also merging into his body.

*Thud*

Jigs had tipped off and fainted at the sight of Tequila merging into Dave.

"You killed him? What just happened? That was fucking weird, but…" Henry started to say.

*GASP*

Jobs shot up bolt right and now both men were staring at him. Jibs turned to Dave and Squinted his eyes at him.

"How did she, uh!" Jibs tried to say before passing out again as Dave tried to push Tequila's head back into his chest.

"Sorry, she can be obnoxious sometimes! Stop it! Yet, they call me the demon!" Dave said while struggling with a laughing Tequila.

"Puny mortal! I crawl from your body and be free once more! I shall bring for nightmares you could never fathom, MWAHAHAHA!" Tequila cackled.

*Thump*

Henry was now passed out and on the ground by his brother Jigs. The two must not get out very much, and the Demon act had been a bit too much for the boys to handle.

"You such a little shit, you know that?" Dave said to Tequila as she was finally satisfied with scaring the locals. "What happened to my helpful cute guide?"

"I am still cute!" Tequila complained after making her face appear in his neck.

"Yes you are, but you seem to no longer be the helpful guide from the last couple of games. I guess I had just gotten used to you and now I will have to block that you out, this is you," Dave said with a smile.

"That's right! Plus, when I get more information, then I will be more helpful. This Changeist thing is basically a Revolutionary Class, so don't expect me to do any fighting. With my Class and System, I will slowly beagle to change the way people act and do things, while also making their lives better. I will be paving the way for you," Tequila explained as Dave walked up to the cellar door.

The back of the building was dark stained wood, and the building had a tarnished metal roof that looked to be brass. The building gave the appearance that it was nice and well kept.

Now, it was in need of some repairs, and skilled people to fix them. Dave decided that he will try to help, since having a thriving town would further him.

"Hey you weirdos, wait," Henry said, picking himself off the ground. "The rats are pretty tough, and there will be five or six of them. They are Demon Ninja Rats, so don't take them lightly."

"Thanks for the warning," Dave said as he opened the cellar doors and walked down.

Henry shook his head, and then looked at Jigs.

"What a strange bunch? And they ask his name, so I had better go talk to her. You can wait for them Jigs, Don't bother getting up," Henry joked as he walked off to go see Lidia, the Demon Fox Seer.

Dave scrolled through his menus and found his new taming skill and opened it up before getting off the stairs.

[Taming]: Target creature, and tame them. Once a creature is tame you will have access to its stats, which you will be able to upgrade as it levels. You will gain a stat boost from Each of your pets. The Current Pet Maximum is 0/1.

This should be easy enough, and a bit overpowered, Dave thought, and Tequila rolled her eyes from inside of Dave. Dave stepped down, and the Demon Rats came out and started to move forward towards him.

Dave reached out his hand and activated the [Taming] ability on the nearest black rat. They all had black cloth wrapped around them, but they were just normal rats it seemed to Dave, but then the rat, Jibber's sheet opened up for him.

"Woah, what the hell is Rat Jitsu?" Dave asked out loud as he quickly pumped some points that were available into Jibber.

The rat had turned and now was fighting with the other four rats. With my quick boost to his strength and speed, Jibber was easily able to take on the group, and slowly whittled them down.

Jibbers looked like he was breakdancing most of the time whipping with his long tail, and then landing strong kicks. The moment one slipped, that would be when he would strike with his teeth.

After the final one was killed, Dave looked and both of them had gained a level. He tried to access it, but nothing was happening. A squeak from Jibber's brought Dave's attention forward and there was a massive rat that was coming out wrapped in white cloth.

"Ho! Look at the size of that thing hehe what kind of pudgy little monster is that?" Tequila asked from my shoulder.

"I don't know, but I hope that this guy is just weak, and we can get out of here!" Dave said with false hope as the white rate charged Jibber.

Jibber jumped at the last second and then bit down on the white rat. It wasn't enough to kill it, and Jibbers was sent flying. 

Dave was already moving after finding out what he had gotten from taming the rat. Not a lot, but he did get an empowered kick that he used to kick the large rat into a wall, making it explode into black particles.

Dave turned to Jibbers, but he was alright and getting back up. Dave looked through the menu and upgraded Jibber to not have a Razor Claw and Fang attack and gain some more strength.

Dave bent down and put his hand out for Jibber to climb up and she crawled onto Dave's shoulder. Tequila poked her head out of Dave's other shoulder and looked over at the rat.

"Awe, he is kind of cute, I wonder how many more pets you are going to collect?" Tequila asked Dave.

*thump*

Jibber had looked at the other source of sound near him other than his master. When he saw that it was a woman's head growing out of his master's body, like a freshly sentient being, Jibbers fainted.

"Wow, you really have to stop doing that. One of these times there is going to be a marble floor and you're going to do some serious damage!" Dave complained as they walked back up the stairs.

"I am not that bad, they will just have to get used to me," Tequila said while sinking back into Dave's shoulder.

Jobs was waiting back up top and no longer passed out, but his eyes were still bugging out.

"How did you do that so fast, and why do you have one of the rats?" Jibs asked Dave.

"I made a friend, and now I beat all the rats and the big white one. Can we go back inside now? I really didn't do much but I haven't eaten in a while!" Dave said with a smile, and Jibs just shook his head.

"You are really one strange demon. Sure, I will take you to see Ma for some food," Jobs said while leading him back to the form of the Inn
