On being sent to Holly Heights

[competed]

Nee, nee, why does Shirou get to be so much taller then me? That's not fair! If anyone's going to be the bigger one, it's gotta be me.



...hey wait, do they play soccer at Holly-Whatever?

Bein' short is the least of your worries, kiddo.

[competed]

Huh?

[He looks around for a good minute, trying to find what had just been talking to him and that's when he spots Issun on the ground. He gets on his hands and knees and picks Issun up by his little cape]

Did this bug just talk to me?

[companied]

[ Hey, he's weirded out by this just as much as you, kid. Except to higher places because his family is deaaaaad. ]

Who knows. But if even they don't, we'll just have to show them, right?

[ skillfully avoids age difference topic like a pro. ]

[pervertflea]

Hey, hey! Hands off the cape, ya little brat!!

[KICK FLAIL KICK KICK]

I'm not a bug - put me down! I deserve way more respect than this!!

[competed]

[Oh, upon closer inspection this is indeed not a bug. So he'll just put you down only to pick you up by your legs and hang you upside down.]

A Kappa?

OMG HDU

[competed]

[Shirou used Topic Change

It was super effective!]

Yeah! We can start our own soccer club, right Shirou?

[pervertflea]

[SCREA

WHAT A LITTLE TWERP

He's holding onto his hat with one hand, the other being used to keep his robe shut between his legs. UM??]

No, I'm not a Kappa, either!!
Put me down!

[competed]

[He tilts his head and puts a little, getting a bit frustrated]

Then what are you?

[Nope not putting you down yet btw]

[pervertflea]

A poncle! Now let me go, ys brat!

What kinda manners are your parents teaching you!?

[UGH LET HIM GO ALREADY]

[competed]

[He frowns and sits up, still holding him by his leg]

What kind of idiot yells at someone who's bigger and stronger then them? And what's a poncle? It's not something I've ever heard of, and I bet my dad hasn't heard of one either and he knows about everything!

[pervertflea]

Why you little...

[FINE.
Fine, he didn't want to do this, but his leg is seriously starting to hurt from this manhandling.

So he lets go of his robe momentarily to unsheathe Denkomaru, deftly slicing one of the kid's fingers with it.]

Don't go assumin' things just 'cause you're bigger, ya little, snot nosed, mannerless punk!
Respect your elders and all that junk!

[competed]

Hey!

[He's switching hands and sucking on his now cut finger, glaring at Issun.]

I'm not assuming nothin'! I'm a lot bigger which means I'm a lot stronger and I can squish you like a bug!

[Then, a mischievous grin spreads across his face. He tilts his head back and opens his mouth wide]

Ahh!

[Yeah Issun? He's dangling you over his open mouth now. He's eaten bugs in his life before, don't think he won't try to eat you too 8|]

[pervertflea]

Heheh - you really want me in there, ya brat?

I've controlled a guy from the inside before; I'll just make ya wet yourself in public if you eat me!

[AND THEN HE'LL MAKE YOU PUKE HIM BACK OUT, TOO. B|]

Bein' bigger doesn't mean nothin' when it comes to strength! I've fought monsters all on my own before!

six now don't be rood pEES ON

[companied]

[ ...It's so weird being called on by his dead little brother. How does he even deal with this. ]

Spoken like a true soccer player, Atsuya.

...But elementary, huh?

[ It felt automatic that he was going to set up a club at the middle school in Holly Heights, but if he wanted to take care of Atsuya more... ]

[competed]

[Oh god no he doesn't want that. Brb closing his mouth and pouting again.]

Doubt it.

[How can something so small fight such big things?]

Monsters aren't real, anyway. My dad says so!

WOW DON'T PEE ON ME

[competed]

[He tilts his head]

Well duh, I'm not old enough to go to middle school!

[pervertflea]

Tch. Typical tyke!

Put me down, and I'll show ya some of the paintings I've done of monsters.
Real ones - promise!

Your dad's just never seen'em, that's all. I'm sure your pop's real smart, he's just never seen'em!

[competed]

[He mulls over this for a moment but puts Issun down. Then he hugs his knees to his chest]

How can I trust you if they're just paintings? Do you got somethin' else that'll prove that they're real?

I'LL PEE ON YOU ALL I WNAT

[companied]

[ Shirou mirrors that head tilt in a playful manner. ]

If that's the case, then I'll just have to become your coach!

[pervertflea]

[... SIGH. Don't mind him, he's rifling through his pockets for a second before - ah, there, that'll work. Hopefully!]

Here - check this out!

[It's a Demon Fang, glowing in all its glory.]

This here's a fang from one of the demons my friend's fought. Don't tell'er I snuck this though, okay? Heheheh!

[competed]

Whoa!

[Hey don't mind him just snatching it to get a better look.]

What kinda monster was it?

EWW NIISAN DATS GROSS IM TELLING DAD

[competed]

[Look at his face brighten up!]

Really?

[pervertflea]

[Nah, he's cool with it. He doesn't really need it.]

'S called a Bud Ogre! They walk on all fours like some kinda fat cat, and their bodies are just one huge bud - kinda looks like a cabbage!
And of course, it's got a real ugly mug - the kinda face only a mother can love. And even then I'm not so sure! Heh!

[At that, he takes out his painting of the monster in question, rolling it out in front of Atsuya to see.]

They're real tough, too - you gotta make their big ol' buds bloom so you can slice'n dice their cores! If you ain't careful, they'll hack you to bits, like huge, spinning saws!

[competed]

[He is completely entranced now]

How big are they?!

[pervertflea]

Hmm...

[He rubs his chin then, looking very thoughtful about this.]

Bigger'n you, at least!
