Side stroy #3 : Lara Grann


    We go to the stable and I see that amongs the horsed there is a red motorbike and how do I say this ... it has been tuned, there are side blade on the wheel and a hand crossbow is attached on the back so someone can easily take it. Did Lara do that ? I look at her and she laugh cheerfuly her two hands on her hips and her back slightly bending backwards.


    |Ha ha ha, I got the idea from the weapons you were drawing in your free time, it really turned out well ha ha ha.|(Kimeli)


    I look closer at the side blade and see that the front one are dripping fresh blood, it''s green blood so it must either be a goblinoid or a bug type monster. I suppose the dimension transfer changed the motorbike in a magic tool and that she has already killed something since she got here with it since apparently we got our mana by killing living being.


    There is something bugging me, when I got transported here I was taking my breakfast with my parents and it was a school day, she lived in the same country as me so why in the hell was she using a motorbike.


    |Lara could ya tell me why tha fuck ya were on yar motorbike when ya got transported ?|(Apocalypse)


    She scratch the back of her head and sigh.


    |I was running away from home, my old man was coming home drunk lately and wouldn''t stop screaming and throwing a ruckus every time we spoke, I couldn''t bear it anymore so I ran away before he started getting more violent.|(Kimeli)


    I sigh, geez I knew her old man wasn''t the nicest guy around but he should know better than to get drunk in front of her, I am sure it isn''t really the fear of him more violent but the fear of herself getting violent that pushed her to run away. Believe me when she is angry you better not stay around her, she isn''t the world champion of karate for nothing.


    |I see, so why did ya come for ? From the look of yar ride ya seems ta be doing well.|(Apocalypse)


    |Well when I got to this city adventurer guild and I introduced myself they asked me if I was the relative of a noble guy named Apocalypse Vermillion. I remembered that you used to call yourself like that so I asked where I could find this guy and that led me here.|(Kimeli)


    |So ya''re an adventurer.|(Apocalypse)


    |Yep an S rank one, well I don''t think that people know me here since I didn''t appeared in this country but I am sure you heard of the "Red rider".|(Kimeli)


    |Nope, never heard of it.|(Apocalypse)


    She must come from the South, we don''t really know anything from them since the demon is in between. But S rank adventurer not bad not bad, I am sure she is even better than that but the difference between S and SSS is huge.


    |By the way ya should take a bath, ya stink.|(Apocalypse)


    She sniff her armpit and shrug, gosh she has no self awarness. I urge her to take a bath with the other girls.

    Lara POV


    When I first appeared in this world I was confused, I was running away from home so I wouldn''t beat my father up and all of a sudden I appeared on a battlefield, at first I wanted to go to my cousin home but I ended up here. An army of men in silvery armor were charging on my right and an army or pig face fatty was doing the same on my left.


    Much to my surprise I was really calm, no calm wasn''t the word .... I was excited. I made the engine of my motorbike roar and I charged the fat pig faced guys, the first one I came across got my front wheel in the face and I ran over him, surely killing him. As I passed near some of those pig faced guy I punched them sending them flying .... not sure that is normal.


    I repeated the thing over and over again and when all the pig faced guys had die a dush in shiny armor aproached me and started to blaber something about how great I was and how a fine wan such as me should be at the side of a noble such as he and blah blah blah parle toujours bouffon je t''écoute.


    I got away using my motorbike, not before spatting at his face of course, the only man who is allowed to be by my side is my cousin and I know the shiny armored guy doesn''t hold a candle to him, be it in looks or attitude. Sure my cousin is a combat hungry idiot but at least he doesn''t brag about how great he is.


    Also even though I always tease him about it I really like him, when I got adopted by my dad I was only five. I met him at the first family meeting, at the time I was really gloomy I just couldn''t get used to this new family, not that I ever had one. He told me he was the same but unlike me he looked happy. I asked him why and he answered.


    |When they adopted me the nightmares stopped and because I know the big dragon isn''t there anymore I can sleep so I am happy. You shoud be too, you''re cute after all and mom say that cute girls must happy.|(Evan)


    At the time I did not and I still don''t understand the first part of what he said but the later art made me blush really hard back then. After that he started to get more and more of a muscle-head, a nice muscle-head but a muscle-head nonetheless. He got into fight against delinquent and all. Me I did karate on the side so if one of the delinquents he beat up tried to take it on me he woud regret it and without me noticing it I had became a champion.Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    After his tenth birthday he got really into VRMMORPG so to stalk him I did it to, do you know how surprised I was when I found out that we both used the same surname, it was Vermillion. Anyway I love this idiot and for a time he also returned those feelings.


    Well long story short for four years I became an adventurer and did quest while traveling around the world, to tell the truth if not for my cousin I wouldn''t want to go back to Earth. One day I got to the capital of the Guarmille kingdom and when I introduced myself at the guild hall.


    |Are you prehaps related to the SSS rank adventurer Apocalypse Vermillion ?!|(Receptionist)


    Apocalypse Vermillion ? If I remember correctly my cousin used to call himself that, could it be that he is also here. I asked where he was staying at and they told me he lived in a mansion outside the town. When I got there it was already late and the guard, a wolf-kin, wouldn''t let me in, well I kinda expected that so I slept outside.


    The next morning I once again requested a meeting with this Apocalypse Vermillion guy and then I saw someone, a tall blond guy, walking to the mansion''s door with a wolf kin woman. I recognized him, when my cousin had interview with a game newspaper this guy''s picture was always nexxt to his, what was he called again. Oh yeah I remember.


    |Oi Leo could you tell this guy to let me in !|(Lara)


    The man turned around and squinted his eyes, he kicked the ground and appeared in front of me, well as near of me has the fence allowed it, hmmm he is tall, must be 2 meters and a half tall, I am not small by any means in fact I am almost 2 meters tall.


    |How do you know my name ?|(Imperion)


    |Come on, Evan couldn''t stop speaking about all your adventures in those games, so is Evan here ? It''s been four years since I last saw him, didn''t he talked you about me, Lara Grann ?|(Lara)


    |No way .... you''re his cousin.|(Imperion)


    I nod and he make signs to the guard to let me in. Apparently this mansion is called te stardust mansion because of the lake next to it, or at least this is what Leo tells me. He introduce me to his girlfirend Jean, it seems that it is Evan or Apocalypse who introduced them to each other. He also told me that Apocalypse was married and was even going to have kid, honnestly I almost fell into depression but he told me that he was going to have a third wife so maybe I still have a chance with him.


    We enter the mansion and I see that all the servants are all beastmen, former slaves apparently, we go to a dinning room and I see a man who looks like he is in his mid twenties with two women at his side and playing with a little child. I was going to speak to him like I speak to Apocalypse but Imperion, Leo''s name here, told me that the man''s name was Idgar and the two women were his wives, the human being Ellen and the beastwoman Hanna, the little girl is Eve.


    I salute them politly and sit down, I taste their alchool it''s dwarven ale ... shit they drink something that strong in the morning, well hope I don''t get drunk it''ll be a shame if I end up agressing him sexually the first time I meet him since those last four years.


    When Apocalypse enter the room he is followed by a red haired lizard-kin, if I trust Imperion she is Yualina and is the one pregnant with his child, I thought of spatting at her face for a second but stopped myself from doing that since Apocalypse would surely behead me for that, he is a SSS rank adventurer and me only a S rank so I don''t have any chance against him.


    Long story short our reunion went fine, Yualina didn''t react to my teasing ... or maybe she just see me as another wife candidat, those people really are acceptive, not sure I could do the same.as her, I guess we weren''t raised with the same morals.


    I show Apocalypse my motorbike and he tell me to take a bath. How rude, I''ll let you knew that I use this clean magic thingy everyday. His wife Yualina lead me to the bathroom and I was stunned, it''s huge. Apparently it is the women turns to bath since all the maids, Jean, Hanna, Eve, Ellen and I are there. Yualina and her group go sit next to a black cat-kin woman and a blond human woman, I sit next to them too. The black cat-kin raised an eyebrow when she saw me.


    |Who''s she ?|(Eali)


    Yualina looks at me and sigh, not in desperation but more like she was exausted.


    |I guess we can consider her a wife-to-be seeing the relationship she has with our dear husband.|(Yualina)


    |Well that another one on whom I could try new technique.|(Eali)


    |We aren''t even married that he already has his eyes on another woman, Apocalypse sure is fast ..... I just hope we aren''t going to turn into a lamia''s den or else Apocalypse is going to be dried up sometimes.|(Eleonore)


    I assume the two we sit next to are Evan wives, so the cat-kin must be Eali and the human Eleonore, hmm at least there is one who is tinier than me, Eali that is, Eleonore ones are huge, Eali''s one aren''t that small it''s just they are smaller than average.


    |Well.... I guess I should introduce myself, Kimeli Vermillion, call me Lara and I am Evan first love.|(Lara)


    |So you knew Apocalypse from before it became its real name hu ?|(Eali)


    |Well of course he was my cousin after all.|(Lara)


    Suddenly Eleonore butt in the conversation I was having with Eali.


    |You keep calling him Apocalypse then Evan, and earlier you spoke a strange language when you were with him, I hadn''t heard it before, so could you explain it to me ?|(Eleonore)


    |It''s true that sometimes Apocalypse speak in this omminous language, I think it sounded like "Yualina a vraiment un beau cul.", and you seem to know it too.|(Yualina)


    I tilt my head to the side, why didn''t he told them something important like that well Eali seems to know about it but the other looks clueless. I sigh.


    |Okay I don''t know why he didn''t told you that but we are not from this world. We come from a world were magic did not exist and there is only human back there. Four years ago we got transported here and we had no way back so here we are. Seriously did none of you were aware of that ?|(Lara)


    |No we weren''t.|(Yualina)


    |Why did he hide this from us ?|(Eleonore)


    |I did not know about that but I''ve an idea about why. Think about it, if someone told you he came from another world you would think he is crazy and even if you don''t think so you would distance yourself from this person to avoid any problem. Maybe he was afraid ?|(Jean)


    I don''t think that''s the case since he is the type of man who doesn''t care about your origin or anything like that. I still don''t know why he did not told them but before I could give a hypothesis Eali spoke.


    |I did know about that and the princess do to, as for why he did not told us I think it is for two major reasons. The first one being the fact that we never asked him and the second one being the fact that from all the information he gathered he was originaly from here so he didn''t deemed it necessary.|(Eali)


    |The part about us being from here is a first for me but I guess that if it is what his research makes him believe I suppose it is true, his detective ability is top notch.|(Lara)


    Out of nowhere I felt a slimy feeling on my head only to find an humanoid slime, if they weren''t all that calm I would''ve killed it but they told me that it was one of Apocalypse pet, Gigly, I sighed with how he wants her to look I doupt she will only be a pet but anyway.


    This is how my reunion with my cousin went, hush now dear children.
