Chapter 15:

15-Kung-fu Carrot!!

Chimera-chan Can’t Be Tamed!


The fridge was empty, except for a jar of pickled eyes in shop.

Chi-chan: "I am starving....I need food!"

Poko: "Look! I found a crate in the basement! It says 'Donated from Hell's Farm.'"

Poko dragged a heavy wooden crate into the kitchen but crate was shaking.

Chi-chan: "Excellent! Food from hell is best! Open it!"

Poko: "Okay!"

Poko pried the lid open with a crowbar.
CREAAAK.

Inside, there were carrots, potatoes, and onions.
They looked normal....Until they opened their eyes.

Carrot: "HIII-YAAH!"

The Carrot jumped out of the box. It had muscular arms and legs. It assumed a Bruce Lee fighting stance.

Chi-chan: "A Kung-fu Carrot?! What kind of farm is this?!"

Carrot: "Come at me, bro."

Chi-chan: "DON'T MOCK ME, ROOT VEGETABLE! I am the Nue! Double Tiger Chop!"

Chi-chan struck the carrot.
The Carrot blocked the chop, swept Chi-chan’s legs, and suplexed her onto the  floor.
SLAM.

Chi-chan: "GYAAAH! HE KNOWS MOVES! HELP!"

Poko: "I’ll handle this! To beat food, you need kitchen appliances!"

Poko put a leaf on her head.
Poko: "TRANSFORM! SUPER SPEED BLENDER!"

POOF.

Poko transformed into a massive, industrial blender.
Poko (Blender Form): "Throw them inside me, Chi-chan! I will puree them!"

Chi-chan: (Crawling on the floor, holding her bruised back) "Fine! Take this!"

Chi-chan grabbed a handful of violent Killer Tomatoes (which were trying to bite her fingers) and dunked them into Poko.

Poko (Blender Form): "SPIN CYCLE START!"

VROOOOOOM.

Poko started blending tho there was a design flaw.
Because Poko is a Tanuki, the inside of the blender wasn't metal blades. It was fluffy raccoon fur spinning at high speed.

The tomatoes didn't get sliced. They got tickled.

Tomatoes: "Hehehe! Hahaha! Stop it! It tickles!"

Chi-chan: " USELESS! You’re just giving them a spa day! Spit them out!"

SPLAT.
Poko spat a ball of dizzy, giggling tomatoes into Chi-chan’s face.

Baku-chan wandered into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes.
She ignored the fighting carrots. She picked up a large, purple Onion.

Baku-chan: "I will chop the onion."

Chi-chan: "Wait, Baku-chan! That’s the 'Onion of Regret'! Don't cut it!"

SLICE.

Baku-chan cut the onion in half.
Instantly, a purple mist filled the room.

It didn't make their eyes water physically but made their souls cry.

Chi-chan: (Suddenly falling to her knees, sobbing) "Buh... Buhuuu..."

Poko (Reverted to Human): "Chi-chan? Why are we crying?"

Chi-chan: "I... I lied! I don't really know how to read difficult Kanji! I just guess based on the pictures! I’m a fraud!"

Poko: (Crying) "Waaaaah! I... The raccoon instinct is too strong! I ate a candy wrapper yesterday because it looked shiny!"

Hebi-o (Snake Tail): (Sobbing) "I... I actually want legs and real cigarette!"

The kitchen was drowned in tears.
Even the Kung-Fu Carrot stopped fighting. It sat on the counter, crying into its leafy hands.
Carrot: "My father... wanted me to be a radish... I’m a disappointment...Even tho he is a carrot too!"

Baku-chan: (Chopping calmly) "Why is everyone sad? It’s just soup (she is unaffected for some reason)!."

The front door opened. Rinka walked in.
She saw:

Chi-chan confessing her sins to a potato.

Poko talking with tomatoes telling about her eating incidents.

A muscular carrot trying to paint itself with white paint.

Chi-chan: "RINKA! KILL US! THESE EMOTIONS... THEY HURT MORE THAN THE KICKS!"

Rinka sighed. She walked into the kitchen.
She released her Aura of Absolute Dread.

The Onion gasped. The mist vanished instantly out of pure fear.
The Carrot froze in terror.
The Potatoes saluted.

Rinka: "Into the pot. All of you. Now."

The vegetables looked at Rinka’s cold, dead eyes. They realized that being cooked was better than facing her.
One by one, the Carrot, the Onion, and the Tomatoes voluntarily jumped into the boiling water.
SPLASH. SPLASH. SPLASH.

Chi-chan: "They... they chose death over fighting her..."

[Dinner Time]

Ten minutes later. A delicious curry was on the table.
The girls sat there, eyes red from crying, bruises on their faces.

Rinka: "By the way, Chi-chan."

Chi-chan: "Y-Yes?"

Rinka: "While you were crying under the influence of the Onion... you admitted that you used my toothbrush to scrub the toilet last week."

Chi-chan: (Freezes) "That... that was a hallucination! I was lying...haha!"

Rinka slowly pulled her metal fan from her back.

Rinka: "Let's talk a bit..."

Chi-chan: "...."

Poko: "I can't! I’m too full of curry! Run, Chi-chan!"
