8 Danger (2/2)
”8”
”7” they both finally said
Shiro felt ripped off but still, he felt pretty baddass. Although the blue hat didn't really match with his shinigami robes in terms of color scheme, it still looked nice.
[System believes host has forgotten why host has come here] the system responded bringing the shinigami out of his moment of joy
”Ah! Right, I should find the military barracks.” He recalled as he came to the city to feed weapons to Hyorinmaru
[System meant host was supposed to purchase armor]
”Ah.... well I'm pretty broke so it's not like I can buy anything good” Shiro said with a bitter smile as he left the commercial district to ask for the location of the barracks.
However something else caught his eye at the last moment. An imaginary light-bulb lit up over Shiro's head as he got an idea!

”Drop it here!” called out the cat-eared soldier as he directed the fisherman to drop his load on the ground.
”I love this job” the soldier said as he took in a nice whiff of fish. Today new recruits were being inducted in and the menu for the night was fish. Lots and lots of fish, hence a truck-load of fish being delivered to the barracks was part of the deal.
The beast-man listened to the plopping sound of fish hitting the ground.
”That's all of it!” the fish merchant called out
”Thanks, the vice-commander will deal with the payment” The soldier directed as he looked at the large pile of different-sized fish
”Thank-you for your patronage!” the merchant said before leaving
The cat soldier had a big smile on his face as he continued to inspect the goods, the only downside to this job would be moving all the fish to the kitchen. He'd have to pick out a couple of the fresh recruits to help with that. He raised a brow as his cat-eyes caught something. A huge bass nearly 5 foot long! The man drooled a bit as he picked it up. It was a bit heavier than he expected but I guess that just meant there was just that much meat on it.
His face froze when he found something strange at the bottom of the fish. A face. Turquoise eyes looked back at the charcoal-yellow slit eyes of the cat soldier as the two had a moment of silence. Come to think of it, fish don't have arms and legs of a humanoid unless it was a mermaid. No, even then it would be half man, half fish. This was literally a face sticking out of the bottom of a fish.
Before the cat soldier could break out of his life questioning daze, he was knocked out by the 'Fish man' smacking the cat with another fish.
”Well that was easy” Shiro commented as he looked down to the knocked out guard/soldier. This was the shinigami dressed up in a fish suit, he even stuck his sword inside of one of the fish. If not how was he supposed to knock the guard out?
Purchasing a fish suit, then hiding himself in a payload of fish being delivered to the barracks. Shiro felt like a genius! Now he just needed to tie up the guard and make his way to the armory.
”Ara... you look like you're doing some pretty risque play there hmm?” came a strange voice alerting Shiro as he was caught tying up the cat-man. Turning around he was greeted with an incredibly muscular man that radiated danger. But the danger wasn't the life-threatening danger, it felt more like a need to cover up his backside danger.
”You are tying him up all wrong, honestly the youth these days. I don't understand the whole dressing up as a fish fetish, but as for bondage... let me help you with that.” The muscular man said as he sauntered towards the shinigami as all his danger signals lit up.
Maybe he could use the poor cat-soldier as a sacrifice.
