Sighing as he looked at the engine, Yuuno shook his head. There was no way he could repair this. Teleporting to the nearest planet that could help was out of the question, mostly because there were limits on how far anyone could go without a stop in-between somewhere. Unless there was someone on this planet that knew how to repair ships, he was stranded.
“Hey! Yuu-nii, Seikou-chan, Yami-chan! Look!” The three turned to Rai as she ripped some bushes out of the ground and pointed to the area right behind it. “Hot springs!”
“…… for real? Good grief…” Just how did Material-L do that anyway? After pondering about it for a moment, Yuuno decided the best option was not to think about it so much. Maybe if he was lucky, she would drag in an engineer from the middle of nowhere to help with repairs.
Rai pouted, before crossing her arms. “I can just hear it… the voices of the fan dumb’s complaining! Too much fanservice… and no plot. Just like ViVid…” She sighed softly while Yami walked to the edge and felt the temperature with one of her index fingers.
“Hmm… quite a pleasant temperature. It’s already an improvement over that small bathtub in your vessel, peon.”
“Give me a break… the ship wasn’t exactly designed for long-term comfort living,” grumbled the Librarian as he went over the engines again, causing Material-D to frown.
“Cease your efforts, servant. Trying to fix things when you are this exhausted will do no good. I order you to strip, get in these springs and relax.”
“Isn’t it your fault that he’s worn out?” Seikou asked Yami, getting a light glare from the shorter woman. “But, yes, you are right. It would be a good idea to stretch our legs out.”
“I thought so too.” Yami closed her eyes and laid a hand on her chest lightly before turning to Rai. “Now, Material-L, why don’t… Material-L?” She blinked as the spot was no longer filled by her blue-haired companion. “Where did she go?”
“Where did who go?” Yuuno asked as he turned away from the engine. He had taken another look at it, to see if there was anything he could do to fix it. The sheer damage just seemed beyond his ability to properly repair.
“Rai seems to have disappeared on us.” Seikou was looking around concerned before sighing. “If she gets into trouble, it will be bad.”
The Hayate replica shrugged at that. “She knows how to take care of herself.” Yami actually thought that Rai was the most dangerous of the three of them; powerful, skilled, fast, strong and totally unpredictable. It was a bad combination for anyone unfortunate enough to be her opponent.
Seikou looked at her, her face as blank as ever but Yami could tell she was upset. Heck, even Yuuno could pick that up and he had only spent a few days with her. “And what if she runs into those enemies back on that world? The ones who were able to shrug off our magic like it was nothing?”
“That… would be bad.” Yami conceded the point. “We would all likely die, since none of us are at full ability. But there’s no use worrying about it right now. Besides, it’s unlikely that they know we’re here.”
“…This is true.” Seikou shook her head and looked at the springs. “So, shall we bathe then?”
“Hey! Wait!” Yuuno’s eyes bugged out as the two stripped down and lowered themselves into the hot springs. ‘Am I cursed or blessed…? I wonder…’
“What are you doing standing there?! Get out of your clothes and into the spring!”
‘Both… definitely both.’
“Chicken, chicken, chicken… I want some chicken… I want some chicken, chicken, food, blood, blood… mmmmm, some chicken blood would be tasty right now…” Material-L grinned at the thought of grabbing a chicken and making it scream while she bit into it while it was alive. Feeling the blood run down from her lips to her neck would just be pleasing. She shrugged it off and knocked aside some more debris and trees that got in her way.
The forest was pleasant, green, lush and over-run with vegetation. Rai wasn’t sure if there was anyone on this planet or not, but it was pretty at least. The only thing that could make it better is if she had a doggy to run along with her.
She paused for a moment, letting that last thought repeat in her head. There… should be a doggy with her… playful, small and… red?
No, that can’t be right. Red’s the colour that belongs to Seikou-chan. She needs something more sinister than that. Something monstrous… like what?
As Rai pondered over that thought and continued her sight seeing tour, she blinked as she came across a giant rock. “Oooh! A big and pwetty rock!” She grinned happily as she stroked the smooth surface with her finger until she felt a strip of paper in the way, the first of many. “Seals? Weird…”
With a shrug, she forced the seals off by applying some of her own mana and just as she got the last one done, the rock exploded in front of her. Then a large looming beast emerged from the ground, much to Material-L’s delight. “OOOH! Giant three headed lizard doggie! Who’s a good doggie, you are! Yes you are!”
The beast, which had three heads, was black in color and it stood on all fours, easily towering over the Fate replica as it growled its challenge. The length of the body was at least the size of two sports cars bumper to bumper.
She giggled and leapt back in time as a gout of flame came from its mouth to torch the ground she had stood on previously. “I bet you taste really good!” Her happy smile turned savage as she summoned Vulnificus and formed her barrier jacket. “Here doggy! Let Rai-chan eat you up!”
“GRAAAWWW!”
As soon as she heard a clap of thunder in the distance, Material-S tilted her head slightly in that direction. “It seems that Rai has entered battle. Should we investigate?”
“You go if you want! I’m not moving until my back is properly scrubbed!” exclaimed Material-D.
“Uh… are you sure that we shouldn’t-”
“No talking, peon! Just keep scrubbing!!”
All Yuuno could do was sigh and resume his efforts on cleaning the Lord of Darkness.
“Lower!” Yami ordered him, getting him to shake his head and do as she ordered. If he wasn’t worried about Rai at that moment, he would probably enjoy this immensely. Well, he was enjoying it, he could admit that, and both Yami and Seikou were beautiful women. Plus, a part of his mind admitted, he didn’t mind the way that Seikou was eyeing him discretely when she thought he wasn’t looking.
It made him feel rather nice, deep down, that Seikou was looking at him like that.
He felt even better as Yami seemed to slide closer to him as she sighed softly. “More, peon, you’re going too slow!”
“Of course, your majesty.” Yuuno smiled as Yami blushed hard. This was very pleasing and the way her body touched his was rather pleasant.
