Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Needy

“So, you said we need to go to the Kunis domain?” I said, dejected, looking at Kayda.

“Yes, you will need to meet the house head of the Kunis,” Kayda explained, taking a turn into the city’s main district.

“and the devil cult?” I asked, looking at her with a questionable look.

“Ah, so you already knew?” Kayda said, a bit surprised.

“You realise that they report to me first, then you?” I said, referring to the bandit group.

“What, why would they?” Kayda whined, not very happy.

“huh? Because they are my subordinates?” I said, looking at Kayda, confused.

“no, they are not yours.”

.....

“they are?” I said, confused.

“no, they are our subordinates.”

“... So now it is not just yours or mine but ours. Sigh, whatever.” I said, just letting it be with a deep sigh.

“So, how do you want to spend the last few months,” Kayda asked, walking towards a stall to our left.

“I want to have at least 3 months at home to learn about smithing,” I explained, following behind Kayda towards the stall.

“3 months? That’s like your entire trip.” Kayda said, surprised.

“Yeah, I don’t want to do this half-heartedly, Kayda. I want to make good weapons with my ice, not just average ones that can be easily destroyed.” I explained, looking through the accessories at the stall.

“Easily destroyed!? What do you mean easily destroyed? Your weapons are already good enough for people in the 300 levels to struggle to destroy them.”

“that might be true, but what about higher levels. I want to make weapons that even you struggle to destroy, Kayda.” I explained with a wide smile, just thinking of how strong that sort of weapon will be.

“eh, yes, of course, the only weapons I struggle with are demigod weapons, which are fucken rare. Do you really think you will be able to make it?” Kayda said, looking at me a bit surprised.

“Demigod weapons? I think I remember my mother talking about them once.”

“make sense. She does own like 30 of them.” Kayda said, shrugging.

“you said they are rare, right? Then how does Mom have so many.” I said, baffled.

“because she has a blacksmith that produces them every year.”

“he does? Hmm, I guess that makes sense. He was a smith king or something. I don’t really remember.” I said with a thoughtful expression.

“Yeah, and making weapons like that won’t only take 3 months. It will take way, way longer.” Kayda said, shaking her head.

“The earlier I start, the better,” I said with a giant smile.

“sigh, you are so annoying.”

“as I said, make a schedule for me to spend time with you, and then we won’t have a problem. Oh, how many kababs do you want.” I said, looking at a stall not so far away from us selling some kababs.

“Sigh, 2 please,” Kayda said, seeing me run towards the stall, not waiting for her answer.

“not even waiting properly, sigh,” Kayda said, sighing again.

“Alright, here you go.” I said giving Kayda two kababs.

“Thank you.”

“Now that I think about it, won’t it take us a month to get to the Kunis and then another to get home?” I said with a worried expression.

“yeah, the trips are quite long. Hmm, we might lessen it if we move in our Beast forms, though?” Kayda said, taking a bite

“that can be done, but why don’t we just ask mom for a plane?”

“Uh, we can do that, but...” Kayda said, trailing off.

“My squad will probably come as well.”

“yeah, and Stacy will be here to pester us,” Kayda said, not looking forwards to it.

“Yeah, but we will have more time at home.”

“Hmph!”

“you do realise nothing much will change even if we are with them,” I said, sighing at Kayda’s attitude.

“Apricot,” Kayda mumbled, turning away.

“ugh, she might be a problem,” I said, scratching my cheek awkwardly.

“Sigh, well whatever, when we are at the Draig, we will probably be alone anyways,” Kayda said, shrugging and throwing 2 wood sticks at me with some force behind them.

“Hey, don’t be so violent,” I said, catching the sticks between my fingers.

“heh, as if something like that will hit you. Now call Stacy over, tsk.” Kayda said, clicking her tongue.

“huh, already. I can call them tomorrow rather if you want.”

“if you don’t do it now, I might change my mind.”

“ah, I see, make sense,” I said, taking out my scroll after throwing the leftover into my storage.

Ring.

“Kitsuna! How are you!” Mom yelled answer not even after the second ring.

“Mother, don’t yell like that. You aren’t an old hag yet. so there is no need for something like that.” I said, annoyed.

“ah, sorry, I was just excited that my adorable daughter called me.” Mom said happily.

“What about Amire? Isn’t she there with you guys?” I said, confused.

“ah, she went to Zagan’s hometown to train him.” Mom said, sounding a bit annoyed and sad.

“she is training him?” I said, baffled.

‘Zagan really is useless.’ I thought, shaking my head.

“we l, he was almost dead just before you went on your trip. I let him go for a while.” Mom explained, trying to hide her disappointment.

“ah, I see. You are so depressed about me leaving you that you allowed them to get away?” I said teasingly.

“... so why are you calling me?” Mom said after a small pause.

“Ha-ha, embarrassed are we now. Don’t worry, I miss you too, Mom.” I said, embarrassed.

“whack!

“ow, Kayda, what was that for,” I said, looking at Kayda next to me.

“finish up already,” Kayda said, making my mouth open in surprise.

‘This woman can’t handle not getting attention, can she.’ I thought while shaking my head at Kayda’s antics.

“huh, did Kayda just hit you?” Mom asked through the scroll.

“yeah, I was doing something dumb, so don’t worry about it.”

“ah, I see, so the usual. Anyways what do you want?”

“you make it sound like I am needy,” I said, whining.

“yes, yes, I am.”

“So, mean. Sigh, I need a cargo plane your fastest, please.” I said, getting to the point.

“... why?”

“to travel around.”

“you want me to believe you want a military cargo plane to travel around. Kitsuna, come on, there are so many better ways to lie to me.” Mom said sceptically, not believing my word at all.

“Eh, I am not lying to you, though.”

“Kitsuna, who do you want to kill. I might help you if I know them.”

“mom, listen, we are at the Aanbald territory right now. So-”

“You guys are still there!? What the hell? You should be halfway to the Kunis already.” Mom said, surprised, interrupting me.

“yeah, well, stuff happened, and we got delayed.”

“sigh, I see, so you want to have fast transport. Why don’t you guys just use your fox and dragon forms then.” Mom said, confused.

“yeah, no will take too long. I want at least 4 months at home with the smith king there.”

.....

“sigh, you want to learn how to make demigod weapons don’t you.”

“ding ding, correct now, send me a plane, please,” I said, asking nicely.

“Sigh, fine, we will get going later tonight. See you tomorrow morning.” Mom said, sighing in defeat.

“cool, thank you, mother.”

“yeah yeah, see you.” Mom said, ending the call.

“to think she actually thought you needed to plane to kill someone?” Kayda said with a weird expression.

“what’s with the expression?”

“ah, it’s just why would you need a plane to kill someone.”

“hmm, if the person is in a stronghold, a plane or jet will be quite useful to blow it up. If you want to give him a gruesome but quick way, you could put him in the thrusters or blades of the plane. There are quite a few ways a plane will be useful to kill people.” I said, shrugging and ignoring Kaydas’ expression, which worsened.

“Just how are you this knowledgeable in ways to kill people.”

“ha-ha, experience,” I said, smirking.

“Bullshit, firstly, I am older, so I have more experience than you. Secondly, the ways you think of it are just not right.”

“meh, whatever, let’s forget about killing before the city guards get called,” I said, looking around us were quite a few people were looking at us weirdly.

“eh, forgot we were in the city,” Kayda said, a bit awkward.

“uh huh, now let’s continue our date, shall we,” I said, wrapping my arm around Kayda’s shoulders.”

“are we not?” Kayda said vaguely, giving a slide glance.’

‘She is way too mean.’ I thought, ignoring her words.
