Chapter 52 - A Nice Relaxing Day (1/2)
After arriving next to the waterfall in the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Mesa set out to scout a location to make camp for him and Chu Yuechan. Looking back at her, he could see that she was still trying to process everything that happened and she was looking at him with a wary look in her eyes.
”How about you stay here and wait for me to come back. I am going out to scout out a location to make camp.” Said Mesa with a smile as he left Chu Yuechan behind and ventured out deeper into the woods. Finding a clearing about half a mile away from where he left Chu Yuechan, Mesa decided that this would be the perfect place to make camp. Quickly cycling through the hand seals, Mesa placed his hands on the ground and initiated the jutsu.
WOOD STYLE: FOUR PILLAR HOUSE JUSTU
And just like that, a two story house sprouted out from the ground. Walking up to the front door, which was a sliding door, Mesa walked in and immediately set out to decorate the interior. Two hours later after he was done and walked outside. The house now had a fireplace with a stone chimney, a large and comfortable couch that was situated near the hearth and pointed towards it. The kitchen was decorated with a standard layout with a stove, a fridge, a sink and faucet and several cabinets to store kitchen ware. The second floor consisted of two rooms. One for himself and the other for Chu Yuechan. And to ensure they had their privacy, he gave each room their own private bathroom. The bedrooms were fairly standard with each having a double bed, a table with a chair and a closet.
Walking out of the house, Mesa did not go towards Chu Yuechan but away from both her and and the house.
['JARVIS, can you get me the ability to make Bounded Fields like those found in the NasuVerse.']
[”Certainly sir. How advanced would you like your ability to create Bounded Fields be?”]
['Just advanced enough that it I cannot make Reality Marbles.']
[”Very well sir, that will be 200,000 system credits in total.”]
And so as he was walking, Mesa could feel the information flow into his brains. A few minutes later, the process was done. After walking for a few hours, he had already travelled about 35 miles from where he had made the house. Beginning from there, he started making a Bounded Field that would keep out anyone who wasn't at least as strong as Mesa himself and he went around in a circle with a radius of 35 miles around the area where he would be staying with Chu Yuechan for the next six months. It was already getting dark as he was finally done with setting up the Bounded Field. Teleporting back to the house, he set up a second Bounded Field that was just as big as the first one with the house as its center, but this one had the effect that it would subconsciously order people who looked at the barrier to leave and go away.
Before he left to go to Chu Yuechan, Mesa summoned a shadow clone because he had a job for it: ”Alright, I want you to go to the Wasteland of Death and go to where those two Flood Dragons are who guard the Dragon God Trial. But make sure you don't engage them. All you need to do is get as close as possible to them without them noticing you and place a Flying Raijin mark there. Understood?”
”Understood man. I'll go right away.” Said clone Mesa before he teleported away from there, presumably back to the Blue Wind Imperial City to start journeying towards the Wasteland of Death.
After finally being done with everything did Mesa return to where he had left Chu Yuechan. After arriving where he had left her, he saw that she was just quietly sitting at the water's edge with her eyes closed, barely moving.
”Hey I'm back. Sorry it took so long, I had to make sure everything was perfect.” Said Mesa as Chu Yuechan opened her eyes and looked in his direction.
”What do you mean; 'you had to make sure everything was perfect?” asked Chu Yuechan.
”Don't worry about it. Come with me, I've already set up camp for us and I'm sure you must be hungry. I will make us some dinner.” Said Mesa as he led Chu Yuechan with him towards the house.
Arriving at the house, Mesa opened the front door and was about to let Chu Yuechan come in, but she was just standing outside with a questioning look in her eyes.
”Whose house is this and what is it doing here, in the middle of the forest?” Asked Chu Yuechan.
”This is our campsite. This is the reason why it took so long for me to set up camp and what I meant with 'making sure everything was perfect'. So come on in and have a seat in the kitchen, I'll start preparing dinner for us.” Said Mesa as he went to the kitchen, followed by Chu Yuechan, who just couldn't help herself curiously looking around the house, entering the kitchen, she was led to the dining table and took a seat. Looking at Mesa, she saw him put on an apron and he went to work preparing dinner.
As Mesa was laser focused on dinner, Chu Yuechan eyes were glued on him. He was expertly cutting up the vegetables into tiny pieces, keeping an eye on the meat that was being fried and in the meantime also boiling noodles. After the noodles were done boiling, he took them out and immediately put them in a sieve and under a stream of cold water. As the meat was getting done, he threw in the vegetables and started stir frying it together until it was all nice and tender. And for the finishing touches he threw in some wok sauce with the meat and vegetables and after draining the noodles he threw them in as well. After stir frying all of it for about 15 minutes was he finally done. As Mesa was busy making food, a nice and delicious smell was permeating the kitchen. Even though she had been training in the Frozen Heart Arts for many years that makes the practitioner calm and collected at all times and removes all emotions that one has, including desires, she just couldn't help herself but be curious to the taste of the food that Mesa was making.
After waiting patiently, Mesa put a plate of food that looked absolutely delicious in front of her and placed two glasses and a pitcher filled with some juice on the table.
