I'm Not a Brat, Old Man!
Rimuru's P.O.V
After I black out, I realized that I was in the forest now. The forest here are nothing special but the whole surrounding are looked animated. The natural energy here is seems to be more lighter than the earth and my second world. It doesn't seem like anyone is around as I can't detect something or someone.
[World Transporting... Successful]
'Hey, Ciel. Which village is near me now?'
[The Village of the Waves near the Village Hidden in the Mist]
'Is that so? Then I'll be able to see the whole Tazuna's family! I still have time so I guess I'll visit there a little.'
After that, I decided to [Teleport] near Tazuna's house. The house is just like in the Manga but a little different. It also seems like it was a new made house. I already forgot the other details of the Manga but I still remember it.
I then walked towards the house normally and saw a man walking towards the house. It was the man that future Inari will admired and also hate. I forgot about his name but I remember his face perfectly. I admire him a little in the past cause he died for his village like the Fourth and has a similar personality as Naruto.
The man seems to notice me and walks towards me. He then kneel on to my heights and smile at me. He pats my hair that's obviously ticked me a little but I didn't show it as I'm pretending to be a good child.
"Hey, child. What are you doing here? Where are your parents." He asked that cause me off guard.
That's right. I really need a parent before I go in Konoha or other villages. They are still probably on guard now even thought the Kyuubi attack is already five years ago. I don't have any excuses about me being a child traveling alone without any adults around. They will probably be suspicious of me and labeled me as a threat or a possibly threat.
'I already have a solution in my head but I still have some time to think for it. I really need a better solution that this. it's not like I hate this solution but... maybe.'
I throw my thoughts away for a second and looked at the man. I smiled at him too and pat his head. The man looks bewildered for a second but shook it off. I then tilted my head for a second and said, "My name is Rimuru. I'm just arrive here with my parents cause we are traveling together. My parents said that they will leave me for a second and I need to behave until they return."
"Is that so? Who's that parent that leaving a child alone. Child, why don't you come in our house over there? I'll show you my treasures." He asked pointing at the house near us.
'Bingo!'
'Talk about don't talk to strangers.'
"Yes! Don't worry about me! My parents teach me how to defend myself. You don't know, I'm strong!" I childishly bragged and punch his arm in a strength of a child.
"Hahaha. You're right. You're really strong! Then, let's go." He complimented as he sit up. I then hold his hand like a child and we went our way towards the house.
'He sounds like a kidnapper that want the target to believe that he's kind.'
After we arrived on the front door of the house, the man knocked in three times as a woman voice that is probably Tsunami said, 'Come in'. The man then opened the door as we saw the younger Tsunami, holding a baby that is obviously Inari. The man smiled at the scene and walked towards them with me.
"Oh Honey, welcome home. Who is that cute child behind you?" She greeted as she looked at me like how Shion and Shuna looked at me when they are going to dress me up again. I slightly shivered at the memory and back off a bit.
"I'm back. Her name is Rimuru. She's cute, right? I saw her on the way here and she said that her parents left her for a moment so I decided to take her for a bit until her parents return." He explained as my brows twitched slightly so they won't notice.
'Her... She... I don't care about that... Right?'
"Is that so? Then why don't you introduce us? You seems excited." She said as the man smiled slyly.
"Hehe. Then I'll introduce you my treasures. She is my treasure No. 1. Her name is Tsunami and she is my wife. He is my treasure No. 2. His name is Inari and he is my son. I still haven't introduce myself. My name is Kaiza. Welcome in our home, Rimuru." He said with a smile as I too smiled at him.
'What a good family.'
"Nice to meet you, Tsunami-san, Kaiza-san, and Inari-kun! My name Rimuru. Thank you for the welcome!" I greeted as we all laughed (except Inari, of course.)
After the greetings, Kaiza starts to clean the house a little as Tsunami and I talked about little Inari and some other things. She also have a fangirl side that is I don't know until now and keep pinching my cheeks. It's good that I have [Pain Resistance] or else I'll suffer for an hour of pinching.
*Thump!*
'Huh?'
It's almost been an hour and It's already 10:00 o'clock. The time for dinner is 11:00 o'clock so Kaiza and Tsunami's position switched. Kaiza has now become the babysitter and Tsunami is the cook. I asked Tsunami to let me help and she accepted.
We are going to cook a usual Japanese dinner such as; Miso Soup, Rice, and Fried Fish. I decided to add an Omelette that has vegetables in it. It was not hard to cook the omelette but it was also not easy. You need an accuracy to perfectly cook and so it will not become like Shion's cooking.
30 minutes later, we finished cooking the dinner. Kaiza has already left to call Tsunami's father, that is Tazuna to eat dinner. Tsunami also invited me to eat as she said that it's for me helping her that is probably an excuse. She's now feeding Inari already so he'll not get hungry later.
"Honey! Father is here!" We heard a voice coming from the door as I walked towards it to greet them.
'Wow. Tazuna is still looks the same. I thought that he'll be a little younger.'
[No offense.]
'Yes. No offense.'
"I'm home! Hey, who's the brat over there?" Tazuna asked as my left eye twitch a little.
"I'm not a brat! Old man!" I defended as he got angry too.
"My not old, brat!" He defended as I childishly stuck my tongue out to mock him.
[No offense.]
'He started it!'
[Master's mind become really childish in a second. So fast!]
'Not you too!'
"Father, don't tease Rimuru too much. By the way, her name is Rimuru. Rimuru, this is my father-in-law. His name is Tazuna." Kaiza introduce as Tazuna 'hmph' and walked out.
'He's not teasing me!'
"Hmph! Childish." I muttered as I heard Kaiza laugh slightly.
[Base on the age difference, master is the childish one.]
'Past life is not included here!'
[Fft!]
'Did you just laugh, Ciel?'
[No. It is your imagination.]
'Really?'
[...]
Ciel didn't answer after that.
We are now at the dinner table to eat dinner. We're just waiting for the old man to finished changing as his clothes are so dirty. It's almost been 5 minutes since he go in the bathroom but he's still changing. I then decided to go up to looked if he's done but the bathroom opened.
I saw the old man exit the toilet and he looked... the same. He still looked dirty even without any dirt. He looked like the dirt himself. So what's the point of changing? Nothing. But of course. I have meant any offense in that.
"Let's eat/ Itadakimasu!" We all said in unison as we all eat.
"So father, what did you build today?" Tsunami asked to start a conversation.
"I just fixed, Teniko-san's roof again. His house is really old now." He answered.
"Really? It's probably dangerous to continue living there." Kaiza joined as the old man nodded.
"Really. I've already mentioned that and suggested to just build one. But he said that he doesn't have enough money to by materials to start building." He said as the two nodded.
"Is that so? Here, 20,000 yen. My parents said that if I get hungry, I can use this to buy something. But I don't have any reason to be hungry now as I've already eaten. That's why use it to buy materials." I said as I hand the old man two 10,000 yen.
[Master, creating money is illegal.]
'I'm not creating it, I'm just copying it. Also, It is not Illegal as long as it's not fake.'
[Master is using his ability for useless things.]
'Money is not useless! This is the top five most important things in this world!'
[What are the other top?]
'Power, Food, Oxygen, Water.'
[Master is so childish.]
'What! What childish in that?'
[Master.]
'What?'
[...]
"Oh brat! I respected you now! Are your family is that rich? What is your name again?" He asked as I said, "Rimuru!" He then smiled and we continued to eat completely forgot about our conversation.
"Then, before I forget about it. Where are your parents and why they leave you here alone?" He asked and I looked at Kaiza and 'Telepathically' asked him to explain and he seems get it.
"She said that her parents left her earlier and will return after." Kaiza explained.
"What parents are they? They know that it's dangerous leaving a defenseless child alone outside. But they just casually left her." He said a little angry as the two nodded.
"Don't worry! They said that they will return in, 1... 2... 3... 4... 5 hours!" I childishly shouted as I show them the five fingers on my left hand.
'I'll die in embarrassment.'
[Please hang in there, Master.]
Time Skip
"Tsunami-san, can I help washing the dishes?" I asked after we all finished eating.
Kaiza and the old man has already left to continue their work. That's why it's only the three of us left the house. I helped Tsunami clean the table and put the dishes on the sink. Because I don't have anything to do, I asked her to clean the dishes.
"Nope! I already have it. You can now go outside to dissolve the food you've eaten. But don't go far from here, okay?" She asked as I nodded. I then leave the house towards the forest near the house.
*Thump!*
'I have a bad feeling about this'
