Finding The Cure

Despite being annoyed, Rinka was still a little girl, and she wanted her present badly, so she put up with Minos's shenanigans.

"Are you happy now?" Rinka asked, finally done kissing.

"Very happy." Minos laughed, as he headed to the back of the cave to bring Rinka's present.

Seeing Minos disappear into the cave, Rinka couldn't help but get excited, curious as to what her dad made for her.

She had long since known that pretty much everything in the village was a creation of her fathers, so she knew it must be something cool!

Waiting for a while, Minos soon returned with a large gun-like weapon in his hand that looked incredibly menacing.

"Woah! Awesome! What is that thing." Rinka asked with wonder, as she ran up and inspected the weapon's metallic body.

"I call it a Water-Gun, let me show you how it works, go stand over there." Minos said with a smirk.

Rinka knew what water meant, but she had no idea what a gun was, so she wasn't really sure what the device did.

But still, she listened to her dad's words and walked back away, standing near the exit of the cave like Minos asked.

"Ready?" Minos shouted.

"Ready!" Rinka returned with anticipation.

"Fire!" Minos said, as he pulled the trigger and released a thick stream of water straight towards Rinka.

Seeing the beam of water, Rinka was shocked, wanting to avoid but being too slow, causing her to get shot right in the face.

"You bully!" Rinka shouted, wiping the water from her face.

"Oh, the fun has just started." Minos laughed, as he shot another stream of water towards Rinka.

Knowing what to expect now, Rinka couldn't help but shout as she ran from Minos, trying to avoid the water.

Like that, the two ran through the entire tribe as Minos repeatedly shot Rinka, completely soaking her from head to toe.

For the tribe that hadn't seen Minos in years, no one would have ever expected his reintroduction to be in such a way.

"Hey, who wants to join the fun?" Minos shouted, catching everyone's attention.

The tribe members couldn't help but look around at each with confusion, still not really sure what was happening, but as Minos tapped his spatial ring and pulled out dozens of Water-Guns, they understood.

Soon, the first person ran up and grabbed a Water-Gun, shooting one of his friends who still wasn't sure what was going on.

With that, the entire tribe broke out into chaos, everyone running to grab a Water-Gun as they began spraying each other with vigor.

Rinka also saw the Water-Gun's, and quickly joined the crowd, grabbing a gun for herself before trying to run after Minos and get revenge.

But Minos kept teasing her, using his incredible speed and Omniscient Eyes to dodge the water just before it hit him, causing Rinka to shout in frustration.

"Stay still!" Rinka said, chasing after Minos who kept dodging while returning fire.

"What's going on here?" Ronkus asked as he exited his house, followed by Meninka and Tinka.

"Water war!" Someone shouted, as they shot Ronkus straight in the face.

Reaching up and feeling the water on his face, Ronkus was shocked, Meninka and Tinka giggling as they saw his confused appearance.

"What the heck is going on here, and where did you get those strange weapons?" Ronkus asked, forcefully grabbing a young man who was just about to run past him.

"Oh, Patriarch! It's Minos, he's finally out, and look at these nifty new devices he created!" The young man said, as he presented the Water-Gun to Ronkus.

"Minos, he's finally out!" Tinka asked anxiously, having heard the young man's words from the side.

"Yeah! He's the one who started this!" The young man laughed, as he ran off and rejoined the battle.

"Minos, Minos!" Tinka shouted, running into the crowd.

After running for a bit, Tinka finally saw Minos, followed closely by Rinka who was chasing after.

"Minos!" Tinka shouted, Minos smiling towards her as he continued to dodge the water.

Running up to Tinka, Minos was just about to say something, But Rinka shot again, forcing him to duck down.

Just as he ducked, the water continued, slamming straight into Tinka's unassuming face, much to Rinka's shock.

"Mom! I didn't mean to do that, I swear!" Rinka explained.

"Hey hey, leave your mom out of this!" Minos said, hiding behind Tinka.

"He started it!" Rinka shouted, feeling aggrieved.

"You two stop! And Minos, how could you bully your little girl like this." Tinka said, grabbing Minos by the ear and twisting it tightly.

"Ow ow ow, I was just playing around." Minos said.

"Hmph, enough games. I haven't seen you in so long and this is what you do?" Tinka said.

"Hey, you knew you were marrying a troublemaker." Minos smiled.

Seeing Minos's bearded face with his familiar smile, Tinka couldn't help but crack a smile, her stern performance shattering.

"I missed you so much. Promise you'll never leave me again." Tinka said, teary eyed as she hugged Minos tightly.

"I promise." Minos smiled, hugging Tinka tightly.

Seeing her chance had come, Rinka pulled the trigger again, aiming directly at Minos's back.

But just before the water hit, Minos picked Tinka's body up slightly and did a 180, causing the water to hit her instead.

"You little! Give me that" Tinka said, snatching the Water-Gun from Minos's hand and blasting her daughter.

"Mom, I didn't mean to, I swear!" Rinka begged for forgiveness, but by now Tinka had already had enough, so she also joined the battle.

Watching Tinka chase after Rinka as the two soaked each other, Minos couldn't help but laugh, feeling that nothing was like home.

…

Eventually, after everyone was soaked through and through and the Water-Gun's were completely drained of ammunition, the battle came to a conclusion.

Seeing Rinka and Tinka walking back, both completely soaked, Minos couldn't help but smile, his smirk annoying both of them.

"You two have fun?" He asked.

"Hmph, next time you won't be so lucky!" Rinka swore.

"I'm the luckiest man in the world, so my luck will never run out." Minos bragged.

"I don't believe you!" Rinka said, not listening to her dad's nonsense.

"Oh yeah? Well it just so happens that I can prove it." Minos said.

"Impossible!" Rinka said firmly.

"Possible, in fact the proof is right in front of me." Minos said, grabbing Rinka and Tinka in each arm.

"See, I've got the two most beautiful women in the world right in my arms. Who else but the luckiest man in the world could claim such a thing?" Minos laughed, giving them both kisses.

"It's good to see that all these years have done nothing to weaken that sweet tongue of yours." Tinka giggled.

"Dad, you're embarrassing me!" Rinka complained, though secretly she couldn't help but feel incredibly happy.

After a bit more sweet talk, Minos put the two down, the three heading back to their home, where Ronkus and Meninka had been waiting the entire time.

"It's good to see you out of that cave finally." Ronkus said as Minos entered.

"Well since my work is done, what's wrong with a break?" Minos smiled.

Ronkus wasn't paying much attention at first, but as he went over the words, he couldn't help but stand up with shock, stuttering as he tried to force out the words in his mind.

"Y-y-y-y-you found a cure!?" Ronkus shouted, unable to hold back his excitement.

"Is that true Minos, have you really succeeded!" Tinka asked on the side, her eyes going wet as tears of excitement gathered.

"I made you all wait." Minos said, his answer being clear.

"My boy, my boy! It truly is our tribe's greatest blessing to have you, and is my greatest blessing to have you as my son-in-law!" Ronkus said joyously, firmly patting Minos shoulder.

"We'll finally be free." Tinka said, tears flowing down her cheeks.
