Bridge Chapter 16 ( Why does it have to be shark girl!?)
🕑 Added 2024-09-08 09:05:31 +0000 UTCI’m a little irritated at how things went. Not, because of how everything turned out but because I let myself fall into that strange rhythm. I thought I had it under control but that was wrong.
There was just something about Ringo’s blood that was so much more valuable in comparison to the blood hanging in the air here. Maybe it was a matter of power or maybe it was because she was a virgin female.
The fact that I could tell that from blood was fucking dumb. Of all the powers I could get telling virginity status is absurd. I can at least see why vampires usually went after them now.
There was something oh so sweet about her blood if I ignored the decay and rot coming off of her body. It was like the sweetest of candy right at my finger tips.
Maybe I should try to actually drink some blood? I might be having a hard time reining in my vampiric side because I was not dealing with my hunger. It was rather clear in vampire fiction that not drinking blood led to drama and stupid decisions. It was not like I was against the process.
I could already tell that I would enjoy drinking blood from the instricts coming from my body. I did not see the point of freaking out about it either.
Another plan for another day.
While that entire debacle was not what I wanted I did mange to come out on top. Ringo has sworn herself into my service and she made it rather clear to everyone here that she was following me.
The elders were not exactly happy about her swearing herself into my service but they accepted it. They would rather her be out there fighting for their cause but I agreed to let her go on missions here and there.
Ringo was honestly a bit blood thirsty so she needed to take her aggression out often. She was also looking forward to pushing her newfound healthy body.
That managed to get everyone to back off from me for the most part. With Ringo on my side, I did not have to worry about the Clans pushing me too much. The blatant attempts from the Kaguya guy have stopped but I’m sure he is plotting something.
The old Terumi lady was certainly still playing her game. Mika had been approaching me at an increased rate which was mildly concerning.
I did not need to explain to the seven year old that I did not want to hang out with her because her Clan was trying to tie the knot between us. Ringo instead of helping me in this case mocked me with lewd comments and crass language.
I could only assume that she was fine with what was happening because I did not push the young girl away. She probably thought having that girl by my side was for the best.
Having a mad dog on a leash was also good for something else. I needed to level up my skills and stats and while I could grind out regularly I had a better option.
The Gamer gave me the ability to create Instant Dungeons, One of the perks of having the original system after all.
Having Ringo along for the journey would be helpful.
We were currently out for a walk by the port in preparation for my first dungeon raid. Not, that she knew that. I looked over at her as she followed me with that sharp smile on her face.
“Here catch.” I tossed an item that I prepared for her. She took the necklace with an amused look on her face.
“Trying to get into my panties already brat? I get Onee-Chan has a nice ass but you ain’t ready for this ride yet.” She shot out with a mocking grin while slapping her own ass. She may be poking fun at me but she put on the necklace without any real fuss.
She trusted me, so even if she had no idea why I wanted her to have that she would wear it. It was nice having someone loyal by my side even if she was fucking annoying sometimes.
“Ha ha, Your lower lips are probably as sharp as the top ones so I think I’m good.” I shot back with an annoying smile on my face. She rolled her eyes at me but took the comment on the chin.
I needed her to equip that necklace because it would allow her to remember me when I toggled my coat on. I did not want the whole compound looking for me while I raided and I wanted her by my side.
“Well you’ll eventually find out brat but that’s gotta wait until your balls finally drop. Then you can drop your balls somewhere else.” She let out with a mocking smile on her face. I shuffled a bit at her comment but ignored it for now.
Ringo was rather crass most times but she made her intentions rather clear. She had sworn herself in my service and she going to give me everything she had.
She treated me like a god in that sense. She would take a bullet for me and she was probably going to milk me dry when I had the capabilities. That was based upon the notion I wanted her but she already figured out that I did.
I may not have the capabilities to act on that right now but she could see my wandering eye. Ringo was not the biggest bombshell I’ve seen in my life as that belonged to Mei but with her innuendos popping out constantly I found myself watching her in a different way.
“Right well, Going to need your help in my training today.” I let out and Ringo stopped teasing for a moment. She looked over at me with seriousness waiting for me to say what we were doing.
Again her loyalty was appreciated. I sent her a party invite and she only raised an eyebrow for a moment before she accepted the invite.
No questions about what I just did, no questions about the strangeness, no questions at all. Honestly, she really is a fucking gem.
I felt a little nervous about what I was going to do next but I had more than enough stats for a simple dungeon. I cast the I.D create skill and the world around us shifted.
I had expected for us to remain in the port and it would start to be filled with zombies. Instead, we found ourselves in a modern city filled with the undead.
I blinked for a moment as this was not expected but I could work with this. A group of zombies was near us but before I could say anything Ringo shot out a bolt of lightning that dispersed them in an instant.
She may not have an idea about what was going on but she saw a threat and took care of it. She was not going to leave me in any sort of danger.
“This is a new one brat, you really are full of surprises but I should expect that you can do anything.” She shot out lazily as she kept an eye around for more threats.
I looked at the Party menu and she only got a single experience point for killing each zombie. Considering her own experience pool she would have to kill an entire world of zombies before she could level.
I did not get any XP as the Level difference between us was too large. I was only at fucking level 3 while she was at 180.
“I try to impress. Now we are going to use this place for me to practice my skills. Can you hold back on helping me and only step in if It looks like I need help?” I asked as I started to reinforce myself through magic. She gave me a tense look before she nodded.
She did not look happy about seeing me in any sort of danger but she also knew I needed to experience battle to truly grow. A caged bird can not fly after all. If only the Hyuga could learn that lesson.
“Oh, calm down this entire place is designed for Genin and that only counts for the Boss of this place. A civilian with a sword could take care of most threats here.” I explained as I started to walk into the ruins of this city.
As if to prove my point a zombie stumbled into our paths. I traced a sword and beheaded the thing before it could even take another step. The Zombie faded into smoke and I got some chump change. I really can’t wait for my Luck to bring me better loot.
[Sword Mastery LV 1/100]
You have stepped into the true realm of dudes. The sword phase. One day when you bring back a girl to your place she will tell stories about you being one of those guys who keeps swords. Your name will be whispered with giggles and wine.
Deal an additional 10% Damage with swords.
[]
Why do I even bother opening new skills? The additional damage was nice at least.
“Wow, you really do need the training. Were you trying to cut off your own leg? Or did Onee-Chans tight ass distract you.” Ringo mocked from the side and I let out a sigh.
She may be prodding me but she was right. I put too much force behind my swing and I almost hurt myself.
“Yeah, I’m a bit new to all of this I would appreciate some tips on Kenjustu.” I let out sourly as I looked for more foes.
The Sword Mastery skill would give me more damage but it would not teach me how to properly handle a blade. It was a good thing that I had one of the most famous swordswomen in the world by my side.
Then again Naruto's swordsmanship was not that impressive. From what I can recall from the Trade Network the Tier 1 worlds were Murim worlds. Or the world of Martial Artists who could break buildings if they reached their peak.
It might be worth the effort of leveling up my tier access to get a shot at fancy swordsmanship.
“Eh, I’m not the best swordsman out of the 7 but I can hold my own. With my advice, you should be somewhat competent soon. We don’t want you to accidentally neuter yourself Onee-chan has not gotten a chance to taste you yet.” She let out with a smile that drew attention to her shark-like teeth.
Why was the Mist filled with people like this? Ringo was pretty fucking normal in comparison to some of the people he had seen in the compound.
All of the other villages were pretty fucking normal. Why did he end up in the freaky fish capital?
I was just going to have to face the fact that I was attracted to shark girl over here. What has my world come to?
“Just…just give me some tips,” I muttered out and Ringo let out a bark of laughter. She was clearly amused by my current state.
I guess that was the price I had to pay for having her as my minion.
Thankfully I did not have to think about that for very long as more zombies started to stumble into our path again. Ringo tensed up at the sight of enemies but relaxed when she got a gauge of how pathetic they were.
“Well, if I am going to teach you swordmanship you should make a proper blade instead of that garbage.” She let out as she gave a pointed look to my Broadsword.
I looked at her flatly before looking back at my own blade. I let out a sigh and replaced it with Katana. Fucking anime worlds where the Katana reined supreme instead of a proper English Broad sword.
Oh god, was I a sword guy!?
