Chapter 7:

Trouble in the Forest

Bloodborne Fire


A few hours later.

We finally reached the bandit hideout where I met Haai. We enter the hideout on full alert only to find it surprisingly empty. I walked past the cafeteria where I killed the leader, I notice that the sword I used, was lying on the floor completely melted.

Yikes, Haai wasn't lying, that was some intense firepower.

We make our way down to the basement to look for the kids. Thankfully plot convenience kicks in and we immediately find a chamber with several cells and two guards.

"Jiraiya, I see the guards," I said while pulling out my sword.

Jiraiya puts his hand on my sword and pushes it back into the sheath and says, 

"Watch and learn kid,"

He quickly dashes towards one of the guards. Stabbing him right through his heart.

THUMP

The guard's body falls on the floor. The other guard turns around to see what happened, only to notice the dead body. He quickly draws his sword and faces the direction of the dead body.

"Come out, you cowards!" The guard screamed.

Jiraiya appears behind the guard.

"Sweet dreams," says Jiraiya while knocking the guard out with his sword's hilt.

Jiraiya turns and looks at the kids, with a sword in hand, dripping with blood. With his usual natural intense eyes and says,

"don't worry kids, I am here."

"AHHHHHHH!" all the kids start screaming and crying.

I quickly rush to the kids and start calming them down and explaining the situation. All the while depressed Jiraiya stares at an empty wall and starts muttering quickly.

Ah, the author used the same gag again.

We guide the few kids out of the hideout and load them on the carriage.

"Good, Paul we are ready to depart," Says Jiraiya.

Hold up paul?

"Who is he! I don't remember seeing him," I exclaim.

"What do you mean Ruri, he was there the whole time for the past 2 chapters. Do you think the carriage was moving by itself," Says Jiraiya nonchalantly.

"Haa! He was never mentioned, how did he suddenly pop up now?"

"The author forgot,"

"Ah, I see. As If! What do you mean the author forgot!"

"Don't sweat the small details partner!" says Jiraiya while imitating Haai.

"Oh, damn, that was an amazing impression. Also, SMALL DETAILS!"

A Few minutes late-

Oi, stop you can't cover up your mistake by forwarding time.

A Few minutes later.

Tch, dumb author.

anyways we depart for the Thieves hideout, it was sundown and we were halfway there.

"Regardless, that mission was too easy. Good job Ruri," I said while patting myself on the back.

"Quiet!" Jiraiya exclaims.

"What?"

"It's too quiet for a forest,"

 We both look out of the carriage and see two bloodborne crawlers. They were bleeding from various parts of the body, their chest had a hole in their chest and their ribs were protruding through their skin. Immediately after noticing us, they escaped from the road into the thick forest. 

"Bloodborne's!" I exclaim while running after them.

"Stop kid, it's a bait, they planned to pull one of us away from the carriage to make it easier to attack the carriage, two crawlers isn't nearly enough to beat the guy who killed their boss," Jiraiya explained.

"I see,"

"The real deal is," Said Jiraiya while looking behind the carriage.

A vixen, rather a woman who has the fox spirit, long snout, sharp teeth, fox legs, and her hands had very sharp and claws. Jiraiya pulls out his sword and his legs transform into a kangaroo's legs. He dashed at an insane speed.

CLANK!

Jiraiya's sword and her claws clash. After clashing a couple more times the vixen retreats into the forest.

"You won't get away, Ruri! protect the kids," said Jiraiya while chasing the vixen into the forest.

The kids looked worried and scared to death. 

"Don't if anything happens, big bro Ruri will protect you at all costs,"

That should keep them from worrying.

I look outside to make sure the crawlers are not around anymore. I notice a giant bloodborne bull charging towards the carriage at full speed. I instantly grab the three kids and jump out of the carriage.

CRASH!

The whole carriage was destroyed.

"Paul! he was young as well, rest in piece forgotten character," I said while looking at the carriage remains.

hold up, Paul's dead body is missing.

I Turn around and see Paul booking it and running away. Giving me a thumbs up, and making a face that was half scared to death and half wishing me good luck.

"Paul! You coward! This is why you are a forgotten character," I scream in Paul's direction.

A man wearing a long coat, along with a few others behind him. They stood by the carriage remains while looking at me.

"Oi oi oi oi, I was hoping Mr. Hero of justice here would sacrifice himself to save the kids, then we would get our merchandise with no obstacles, happy ending. Man, this is depressing," said the man wearing the long coat in a nonchalant tone.

"My name is Joe. Die, hero of justice,"
