Remnant

"So... do you mind explaining everything to me... right now," Shinobu said with a serious expression on her face.

"Er... what are you talking about?" Vincent's eyes wandering about, not daring to meet her eyes.

"Don't play dumb! I can't feel your presence for a few seconds, it's as if you were disappeared from the surface of the earth!"

"Well..."

"Vincent... you're hundreds years too early if you think you can hide it from me, I'm your master and you're my minion right now, so I can sense your presence even if you are on the other side of the planet." She raised the corner of her lips, happy seeing the troubled look on Vincent's face.

"... Alright, fine. You win, I will tell you my deepest secret..." He said with a resigned look. He didn't think that his connection with Shinobu was severed when he was hopping from one world to another.

"As long as you understand, that is good. Now, spill your secret."

"The truth is..."

"The truth is...?" Shinobu smiled, curiosity filled her eyes.

"I am a world traveler."

"... A what?"

"World traveler."

"What is that? this is the first time I heard about it." She titled her head, her confused expression is very cute and it made him staring at her intently.

As expected from fiction character turned alive, she is on another dimension compared to real women in his world.

"Vincent... Are you even listening to me?" She pouted her lips at Vincent who keeps staring at her.

"Ah, yea... I am listening, so what did you say again?" He returned to his sense and let out a weak smile.

"As I thought, Vincent, you are not listening to me at all! Hmph!" She turned her pouty face away from him in cute indignation.

"Sorry, forgive me Shinobu. You're just too cute, so I was a little distracted." He laughed at her sullen face.

Shinobu's personality is very different compared to Kiss-Shot, it's as if she is regressed into a child, fitting right according to her current body. Her atmosphere is also different from the bloody woman from last night.

"What... I would never have thought you had that kind of interest, Vincent..." Shinobu poked his cheek with her finger playfully, "You're lolicon, I misjudge you. From now on I am gonna call you Lolicent."

"What? No, you misunderstand! I am not a lolicon!"

"Lolicent, you're not very convincing at all."

"Ugh, don't call me Lolicent, my name is Vincent!"

"Ehh~ but it fits you perfectly..."

"Okay, how about this... I will tell you what you want to know about world traveler if you promised to never call me Lolicent again."

"Hmm..." Shinobu closed her eyes as if thinking about something deep and very important.

"Hey! Hey! there's no need to think about it very seriously, right. It's a very good deal." He urged Shinobu to accept his offer.

"... Fine, I won't call you Lolicent again, so hurry up and tell me about the world traveler."

"That's good. World traveler is the closest name that I can use to describe my unique ability. It allows me to travel between worlds."

"...Are you saying you can leave this world and go to a different world? Not just between countries?"

"That's right, there are countless worlds out there and I can freely travel between them, that's might be the reason why our connection was severed."

"I see, that makes sense..." Shinobu nodded in understanding.

"Vincent... can you take me with you to another world?"

"This... I don't think it's a good idea..."

"Pretty please?"

"Well...Okay, fine... I will take you along with me when I am going to a different world." Under a heavy attack of Shinobu's cute and pitiful expression, Vincent finally surrendered to her demand.

"Really?!"

"Yeah, I will take you wherever you want to go." Vincent smiled as he pat her head. Her golden hair is very soft and smooth to the touch.

Vincent never had any friends and don't have a sibling, so he was used to being lonely. But even though it was short, he enjoyed his time with Shinobu. Somehow, his chest feels so warm.

'I think I might get addicted to this...' He thought to himself as he watched Shinobu enjoying his gentle pat, letting out a cute sounds from her lips.

"Before we go to another world, can I ask you something?" Vincent asked after they walked back to the empty classroom.

"Hm? What do you want to know?"

"You turned me into a vampire, right. So I just curious if I also could turn someone into a vampire."

"Of course you could, but minion will always be weaker than their master and the weaker vampire need to drink blood more frequently," Shinobu said seriously, "That's why you need to be careful when turning someone into a vampire because it could become a great disaster if left alone. Their thirst for blood might compel them to attack people indiscriminately."

"I see..." Vincent was conflicted, he has a great dilemma and having a second thought about turning his mother into a vampire. He wondered if her mother will accept the reality where she had to drink blood to survive.

To become a monster... Just like him.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... Are you ready to depart?" He let out a weak smile to hide his feeling.

"Yup, let's go."

"Vincent... Isn't this a male restroom? where do you think you're going to take me, you Lolicon!" Shinobu cry out as she felt a blush working it's way up to her face.

"Calm down Shinobu, we are going to another world by using the bathroom door."

"Hmm... Suspicious..."

Vincent averted his eyes from Shinobu to stop her from reading his real intention. He can't stop his urge to tease her, so he choose the male restroom as the portal.

"Here we go..." Vincent keep up his guard and shielded Shinobu behind him. Currently, her power is very weak and might be weaker than him, so he can't depend on her in case the situation went bad.

The moment he opens the door, Vincent lifted his hand to cover his eyes due to the sudden light coming from the room beyond the door.

"Amazing! this is very beautiful!" Shinobu laughed excitedly as she runs past him and plopped her face against the massive window, looking at the outside scenery.

After getting used to the light, Vincent walked towards Shinobu. On the way, he passed a wobbling boy holding his mouth with both of his hands, the stench of puke emanating from him.

So, Vincent walked around him and followed behind the excited Shinobu to savor the beautiful landscape filled with massive buildings stretched across the horizon.

"Vincent! look at that big castle! it's way bigger than mine."

"Ah, that is Beacon Academy, a school for aspiring hunters."

Vincent has been wondering if the people in this world would be able to cure his mother with their advanced technology fueled by aura, dust, and magic.

It's way better than turning his mother into a vampire without her consent.

His thought was broken by a familiar voice of Remnant's main characters.

"Look, sis! there's a puke on your shoes!"

"What?! Ew gross! it's disgusting!"

The pairs of sibling was fussing over a puke that accidentally find it's way into the older sibling combat shoes.

Vincent and Shinobu ignored the siblings and focused on their little world.

Right now, they are on an airship in the world of Remnant.

From the start, Vincent was never planning to take any fiction characters to his homeworld, ever. No matter what happens, because it might prove to be dangerous, both for the characters involved and the safety of his homeworld.

He don't have any idea what the characters might do when they learned that their whole existence is just a made-up story by some random people and their happiness, tragedy, and memories as fiction character was created with the purpose to amuse people.

They could become berserk or worse, went crazy.

And he must prevent it no matter what the cost. After all, there are some things one is better off not knowing.
