43 Chapter 42. (1/2)

With a raging little brother being assaulted by non stop vibrations and the constant threat of exploding we made our way to the highway. I kept the handles turned all the way and we travelled at 300 miles per hour while we constantly zig zagged through cars like in an action movie. I decided I needed a bit of practice in case I would need to make a getaway in the future.

My first thought of action was to go to an amusement park near the harbour with my wife. That's pretty standard for a date, right?

Honk. Honk. Hoooongk.

Beep. Beep. Beeeeeep.

As we constantly passed the other cars at three times their speed there were naturally many people dissatisfied with us. They were probably scared witless when something passed by them so quickly that it almost shocked them to death.

If I was them I'd probably be the same after al.

Hahaha! Too bad there's no license plate for you guys to report me.

Can you even read it if there was one? You'd be eating my dust before you even registered I had blown far past you.

After driving like this for a while I was really at the limit of what a certain little brother could withstand. Luckily we had made it to the amusement park by then.

I parked the quadricycle in the parking lot and covered it up with a cloak I asked my wife for.

I asked her to make it so only we could see it and others wouldn't be able to perceive the parking spot. They would just see a regular plain looking car in the stall. Naturally this was to prevent any unforeseen incidents from occurring.

When we made our way out of the parking lot and towards the ticket gate I noticed out of the corner of my eye a certain out of place girl with platinum coloured hair.

When I squinted my eyes I bit I realized it. Holy crap! Isn't that my disciple?! Uhh she looks really depressed like she doesn't know what to do.

Well she is all alone somewhere she is unfamiliar with. It'd definitely be confusing when you reach such a place with no one to help you.

Haah. Being a good master is such a troublesome thing. I could only shake my head in lamentation over how much of a doting master I was. I tapped my wife's shoulder and pointed over to the girl who had her head buried in her knees while she sat defenselessly on a bench outside the park by herself.

”Ah? That little disciple of yours? What is she doing?”

”My wife do you mind making yourself unseeable to her?”

”Husband, you're telling your wife to get lost to see another girl while on your date. Do you have a death wish?”

”But look at how pitiful she is. Doesn't it pain your heart to see her like that?”

”Stinky husband, did you fall for this little kid because she let you feel her chest?”

”She is my first disciple, I must naturally dote on her!”

”Because she's a bit pretty and appears to be in a weakened state right now?”

”Geh.”

”I would never do that.”

”Because you want to con her into thinking you're some sort of untouchable master?”

”Ack.”

She hit me right where it hurts.

My wife sighed and shook her head while rolling her eyes and just said, ”fine.”

It's nice having such an understanding wife.

I put on the robe my wife gave me, the one I wore when I first met my little disciple, and covered my head with the hood so she couldn't see my full face.

I strolled over to girl while my wife hugged onto my arm and glared at me a bit resentfully for putting my disciple ahead of our date.

I stopped in front of her and stood there silently without saying anything. I wasn't really sure how to break the ice with my wife who was pinching my stomach beside me.

It seems my little disciple noticed my presence from the shadow that was blocking out the sunlight around her. She painted quite a lovely scene with the ocean in front of her and the trees behind her. Her slippers were placed on the ground and her bare feet were perched on the bench. Her cute little toes were curled around the edge of the bench. Her shin, knees and the back part of her thighs were in plain view for my eyes to gawk at. Her sect garment was a one piece type after all. The bottom was a long skirt like portion and was open underneath . She really doesn't have any sense of fear of being assaulted like this? Isn't she too daring? This little girl really isn't bad though.

When my wife saw how I gawked at her stupidly this little wife stomped on my foot to snap me out of my trance. Damn! That hurt! Luckily I managed to hold back the scream that I nearly released. A master can never show such an embarrassing sight to his disciple.

The little girl eventually responded to my presence and said, ”what?”

She didn't even look up to glance at who was standing in front of her.

When I didn't respond she just shook her head left and and right while rubbing her face against her thighs then let out a sigh before saying, ”it's not like anyone here can even understand my words.”

Eh? What does that mean. I looked over to my wife questioningly.

For some reason she had a look of confusion for a moment before her face suddenly warped a bit into uncertainty and then to slight guilt.

She said, ”I forgot because it wasn't a problem for you since I gave you that robe. That robe has the ability to automatically translate all languages so both the speaker and the listener can understand each other. That was the reason you had no difficulty communicating with the people of that realm when we first entered it.”

”Language translation really isn't an issue in the realm we were in to begin with. There are many artifacts that have such convenient functions there. The people from the empire naturally have such artifacts and wear them at all times. It eliminates all barriers between groups. It's such a wide spread item that I completely forgot how dilapidated the Good Fortune sect was and took it for granted everyone had them.”

”I see, so they can't even afford those talismans now. Back in the days when I lorded over that realm I had made that talisman and distributed it all across the realm.”

”Because of that language barriers had never been a problem so I overlooked it when it came to the disciples from the Good Fortune sect. To think that patriarch was this incompetent to not even give one to the better disciples in the sect.”

”He probably thought it was too expensive and cut costs to focus on raising the disciples strength. That stupid fool, don't make more work for me!”

”Husband, take this talisman and give it to this little girl. I'll be back, I need to go distribute these to the other disciples. I'll be back in half an hour, don't you dare cheat on me in the meantime. I'll know right away if you do.”

Little wife, do you think I have the balls to cheat on you? I'm not a masochist after all. I've had enough bullying and punishments. This isn't an excited face I'm making just for the record.

”Tch. Husband, please work on hiding the excitement that your eyes scream out all the time in the future.”

My wife then disappeared like a magician and it was just the two of us remaining.

While I was standing there the wind suddenly picked up and blew strongly against our sides. My cute little disciple's long platinum coloured hair was raised up and blew to her right while my robe was fluttering against the wind.

Thinking this was the most opportune moment I stretched my hand out and placed it gently on her head as I rustled about her hair. Huhuhu. Don't worry little girl, I'm not some creepy strange uncle.

When she felt my touch I could sense the slightest tremble from her body. It was not the a tremble of fear, it definitely wasn't that, okay? I'm not a criminal.

”Ma…” She tried to say something, but her words were stuck in her throat. It was like she was afraid her guess was wrong. She hesitantly parted her legs a bit and peeked through the gap that was formed. When her eyes landed on the black ancient robe I wore she trembled once more. She slowly raised her lowered watery eyes to look upwards and she saw the gentle smile hidden beneath my hood. That was all she could see as I made sure the hood covered my face well.
