Episode 18: A Hero's Quote

Narrator:After a night sleeping with Murasaki, I'm deciding to go back out and look for everyone else.

*I start to wake up*

Oreo:"Ugh..."

*I see Murasaki awake, and staring into my eyes*

Murasaki:"A-Ah!"

*She blushes and instantly looks away*

Oreo:"!...O-Oh, good morning, Murasaki."

Murasaki:"G-Good morning, Oreo-master."

*I wrap my arms around her waist*

Murasaki:"!"

Oreo:"...I'm so happy."

Oreo(mind):I'm in heaven right now.

*Asuka comes into the room*

Asuka:"Oreo-master."

Oreo:"!...A-Asuka?! W-What is it?"

Asuka:"Oh, uh...w-well, Yumi has found the rest of her group."

Oreo:"Wait, what?!"

*I instantly get up*

Murasaki:"A-Ah!"

Oreo:"O-Oh, sorry, Murasaki."

Murasaki:"...I-It's fine."

Oreo:"Alright then, I'll be back."

Murasaki:"O-Ok."

*I go into the living room, and I see a familiar girl on the floor*

Oreo:"!...Well, we need to call the bat exterminator."

Shiki:"?...Hey, it's O-master."

Oreo:"Wait, what? I don't remember you calling me that."

Shiki:"Really? Well, I hope you don't, like, mind me calling that then."

Oreo:"Uh...ok then."

Oreo(mind):All that's to look for is Murakumo.

Oreo:"?...Where is Murakumo?"

Shiki:"Oh, Kumo is just hiding behind the couch, like a scared cat."

Oreo(mind):Wait, did she just call her 'Kumo'?

*I see Murakumo's face, without her mask, peak out from behind the couch*

Oreo:"Heh...she wasn't lying."

Murakumo:"Ah!"

*Murakumo hides behind the couch*

Oreo:"!...Hey, why don't you have your mask, Murakumo?"

Murakumo:"!...U-Uh..."

*I start approaching her, and she freaks out*

Murakumo:"Ah! N-No! D-D-Don't l-look a-at m-me!"

Oreo:"Uh..."

Oreo(mind):Oh boy...this is a problem...

Oreo:"Hmm...oh, here."

*I go to my room, and grab my paintball mask*

Oreo(mind):At least she can wear this

*I head back to the living room*

Oreo:"Here you go, Murakumo."

Murakumo:"!"

*She puts on the mask*

Oreo:"So...what happened to your mask?"

Murakumo:"Uh...w-well, Shiki took it from me."

Oreo:"?...Shiki?"

*I turn towards Shiki, and I see her trying to sneak out the house*

Shiki:"Ah!"

Oreo:"Did you really take her mask?"

Shiki:"...N-No..."

*I see Murakumo's mask behind Shiki's back*

Oreo:"Ugh...come on, Shiki. Give it up."

Shiki:"But just look at her, she's beautiful, isn't she?"

Oreo:"?...Oh, you mean Murakumo, under the mask."

Shiki:"Yeah, she's, like, so gorgeous, but she tries to hide it all, and like, I don't approve of that."

Oreo:"Yeah, but that doesn't give you to excuse to steal her mask."

Shiki:"Hmph, fine."

*Shiki hands me Murakumo's mask*

Oreo:"See, it's that easy."

Shiki:"...Sorry."

Oreo:"Heh...I'm not the one you should be apologizing to."

*I go back to Murakumo, and hand her mask back to her*

Oreo:"Here ya go."

Murakumo:"T-Thank you, Oreo-master."

*Murakumo takes off the paintball mask, and puts on her mask. She hands me my paintball mask*

Oreo:"Oh, how about we go around the city. You know, vigilante style."

Murakumo:"Vigilante style?"

Oreo:"Yeah, stopping crime with a mask on, have you not seen superhero movies?"

Murakumo:"Superheroes are vigilantes?"

Oreo:"Some, but not all."

Murakumo:"Most heroes I've written about have nothing vigilant about them."

Oreo:"Wow...what boring heroes. Well, let's be vigilantes for now, ok?"

Murakumo:"Oh, ok."

Oreo:"Great, let's go."

*I get my hoodie and beanie. Me and Murakumo head outside, and go around the city*

Oreo:"Alright, now what?"

Oreo(mind):We've stopped a mugging, and also stopped a robbery, but that's it.

Murakumo:"You want to do something else?"

Oreo:"Sure, it's only...1:00pm."

Murakumo:"...Ok then, what do you have in mind?"

Oreo:"Hmm..."

*I look around, and spot a library*

Oreo(mind):Wait, the library has a manga section somewhere, Murakumo would like that.

*We start heading towards the library*

???:"Hey! Stop right there!"

Oreo:"!"

*I see a girl, with some kind of helmet on, standing between a man and a child*

Oreo:"What the?"

Murakumo"?"

*We start approaching them*

Man:"Oh, the Shinobi Summoner. Can you help me out? This young lady is protecting me from my daughter for no reason."

???:"?"

*The girl notices me, and I now see that she has short blue hair and amber hair under her helmet*

Oreo:"!"

Oreo(mind):What the? It's Hisui.

Murakumo:"Oreo-master, it's Hisui from the Shinozuka school."

Oreo:"I know, that school is all about shinobi that also have a separate hobby too."

Hisui:"What the?! Oreo-master?!"

Oreo:"!...S-Shh! Both of you just said my actual name!"

Murakumo:"Oh, my bad."

Hisui:"Wow! I've finally get the chance to meet you!"

Oreo:"U-Uh...thanks. Anyway, why are you trying to separate this girl from her father?"

Hisui:"Because this man has a bad aura around him."

Oreo:"Ugh...really? 'Bad aura'? You really shouldn't make assumptions like that."

Hisui:"Are you sure? You never know when a conflict might occur."

Oreo:"Ugh...once again, you shouldn't make assumptions. Come on."

*I pull Hisui away, and the little girl goes back to her dad*

Man:"Oh, thank you so much, Summoner."

Oreo:"No problem, and stay safe, ok?"

Man:"You've got it. You know, maybe we do need someone like you around still."

Oreo:"Heh...I appreciate it, I'll definitely still be around."

Man:"Alright, see ya."

*The man looks at his daughter*

Man:"What would you like to say to this nice nice gentlemen."

*The little girl approaches me*

Girl:"T-Thank you, Summoner. Um...I have a question for you?"

Oreo:"Yeah, What is it?"

Girl:"Are you really a boy? Are you as cool as the girls you summon?"

Oreo:"Heh...yes, I'm a boy. I wish I was as powerful as these girls, honestly."

Girl:"Aww..."

Oreo:"Hey, it's ok."

*I squat down, and lift my mask, so that only the little girl can see my face*

Oreo:"See, I'm just a regular boy, but something like this can happen. I've learn one thing from this, and it's that even if you're not powerful, you still have strength. Got it?"

Girl:"...Got it."

*I put my mask back on*

Oreo:"Well, thanks for the question. Now go back to your dad, I'll see you guys around."

*I go back to Hisui and Murakumo*

Hisui:"Wow, Oreo-master. Did you come up with something like that on the spot?"

Oreo:"Kind of, but at least I understand what I meant."

Murakumo:"'Even if you're not powerful, you've still got strength'. I can use that."

Oreo:"Not unless I copyright it."

Hisui:"How can you copyright a quote?"

Oreo:"...Damn it."

*They both start laughing*

Oreo:"!"

*I sense someone watching me, but when I look over, I don't see anyone*

Oreo(mind):What was that? Who was that?

Oreo:"...Oh hey, Hisui? Want to go to the library with me and Murakumo?"

Hisui:"Hmm...thanks, but I think I should probably return to my home base, where's your house?"

Oreo:"Down the block, take a right, then 2 blocks down and it should be on the left hand side."

Hisui:"O-Ok...I think I've got it."

Oreo:"See ya there."

*Hisui starts heading to my house, while me and Murakumo head into the library*

Oreo:"Alright, now where's the manga section?"

Murakumo:"There's a manga section? Is that why you want to bring me here?"

Oreo:"Yeah, you don't want to?"

Murakumo:"Oh no, it's fine."

Oreo:"Alright then."

*We search around the library*

Oreo:"Oh, there it is. Murakumo, I've found it."

Murakumo:"Great."

*We head to the manga section, and look at all the books*

Murakumo:"Hey, Oreo-master?"

Oreo:"Yeah?"

Murakumo:"What's this?"

Oreo:"?...let me see-"

*I look at the book, and my eyes widen*

Oreo:"!...That's...not a manga. That's..."

Oreo(mind):What the hell?! That's a doujinshi!

Murakumo:"It isn't? What is...oh!"

*Murakumo drops the book*

Oreo:"Shh."

Murakumo:*Whisper* "W-Who brings a doujinshi in here?!"

Oreo:"I don't know? Where did you get it?"

Murakumo:"I just found it on a table."

Oreo:"Was someone reading it?"

Murakumo:"Not that I know of."

Oreo:"God damn it..."

Oreo(mind):I refuse to read that! I refuse!

*I grab the book, and hold it closed*

Oreo:"Where did you get it?"

Murakumo:"Uh...on that table over there."

*Murakumo points to a table, and I put the doujinshi on the table, and go back to Murakumo*

Oreo:"Oh my god...that was unpleasant."

Murakumo:"I can't believe I looked in it."

Oreo:"!...R-Really?"

Murakumo:"Yes, I thought it was normal."

Oreo:*Whispers* "Why would you think a doujinshi is normal?!"

Murakumo:"Who would bring something like that anyway?"

Oreo:"Ugh...I don't know."

Oreo(mind):Aside from Murakumo, the only person I can think about to have something like that is...wait a minute.

*I look at Murakumo and see her picking out another book*

Oreo:"!"

*I see a girl behind Murakumo*

Oreo(mind):That's her, she's from the same school as Hisui. Her name was...Kaede. I remember now!

Oreo:"Uh...excuse me, Murakumo. I'm gonna check something real quick."

Murakumo:"Oh, ok then."

*I follow the girl, and she goes to the table that we left the doujinshi on. She picks it up and starts walking again*

Oreo(mind):So it was her, knew it. I'm onto you now, Kaede.

*I follow her to a corner of the library, no one's nearby*

Kaede:"..."

*I look and see her drawing on a piece of paper*

Oreo(mind):What the hell is she doing?!

*I sneak towards her, and I see the another doujinshi on the floor. I spot her drawing in a little sketchbook*

Kaede:"!...A-Ah! W-What do you think you're doing?!"

Oreo:"Shh. Sorry, I couldn't help but see that you're into drawing manga."

Kaede:"Y-Yeah, so what?"

Oreo:"Heh..."

Kaede:"What's so funny?"

Oreo:"Oh nothing, I just remembered that you're a tsundere."

Kaede:"What?! I'm not a tsun-"

*I can see her face start to blush*

Kaede:"Ok, who the hell are you?"

Oreo:"Just you're friendly neighborhood master."

Kaede:"Master?"

Oreo:"Yep, I'm your master, Oreo. Nice to finally meet ya, Kaede."

Kaede:"...Hmph!"

*Kaede looks back at her work*

Oreo:"Alright, that's cold."

Kaede:"Can you just leave me alone?"

Oreo:"Heh...oh, you want me to leave with this?"

*I pick up the doujinshi on the ground*

Kaede:"W-What?!"

Oreo:"Shh. Now let's see..."

*I open the doijinshi, and skim through the pages*

Oreo(mind):I hate myself, I regret this with every fiber of my being...Jesus Christ! Who would read this shit?!

Oreo:"W-Wow...this is...great."

Kaede:"?...You like Yaoi doujinshi?"

Oreo:"I'm sorry, what?"

Kaede:"That one's a Yaoi doijinshi. Want me to show you?"

Oreo:"Nope, I'm fine!"

Kaede:"Really? I thought you liked them, what a shame...

Oreo:"Erg...well, whatever."

Kaede:"Heh...you're acting pretty tsundere right there."

Oreo:"Ah! Damn..."

Oreo(mind):Shit, she's good...

Kaede:"Got you there."

Oreo:"Ugh...fine."

Kaede:"Hehe..."

Oreo:"Well...here's your doujinshi back."

Kaede:"!...Oh, t-thanks."

*I hand her the doujinshi, and start walking back. Me and Murakumo stay in the library until sunset*

Narrator:I'm now starting to find some old and new girls, but I've still got a long way to go.
