Yanging Out
Corin and Yang left the bullhead, and waiting for them was Yang's little sister Ruby.
Ruby waved at the duo and quickly appeared before them with a trail of roses behind her. "Hey! I'm Ruby! What's your name?!'' The hyperactive girl spoke.
'So this is the girl from the quest?' Corin asked the system.
[Yes, also the [Puking Blonde] quest has expired.]
Corin sighed, 'What a shame... wait what does 100 Lien equal to?'
[100 USD]
Corin was silent for a moment before having the urge to smash his head in. 'IF I KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM!!! WHY DIDNT YOU SAY THIS BEFORE!!!'
[You didnt ask.]
Corin calmed himself down, after all, it must've been very weird to the two girls in front of him to see him act like a crazy person.
Corin cleared his throat before looking at Ruby and Yang. "The names Mario, first name Mario, last name Mario.''
Yang looked at him with a smirk as Ruby tilted her head a bit, "Your name is... Mario Mario?''
Yang elbowed Corin, causing him to double over temporarily, "Dont play with her like that." She then looked at Ruby, "His name is Corin Lockheart, He seems to have a weird thing where he introduces himself as Mario.''
Corin silently cursed at the Mario Mario Curse while Ruby and Yang talked. "Anyways" Corin cleared his throat, again. "It's nice to meet you, Ruby, like Yang said my name is Corin Lockheart.''
Suddenly Ruby was behind him, inspecting his weapon. "What is this weapon? What's it made of? What is it called?" The questions rapidly came out.
"It is a spear, dont know, Gáe Bolg" Corin responded, his face still straight.
"So..." Ruby began looking down, "COOL!!!" her head raised quickly, her eyes filled with sparkles as she zoomed around the blue-haired 'hero.' "Does it have a gun? Can it come back to you when you throw it? Why is it so red when everything else about you is blue? Where did you get it from? Did you make it you—"
"Let him breathe Rubes, you're asking too many questions. You're gonna scare him away."
Corin waved his hand, "No, it's fine. I find it rather endearing, it shows how smart she is."
Ruby smiled even wider. "Thank you, Corin!"
[Quest: Red Riding Hood Needs Help! Is now Complete!]
[Reward is being transferred to your bank account now! Congratulations!]
[New! Side Quest: Yangign Around.]
'Explain.' Corin thought to the system.
[When Yang Leaves Ruby, go with her and her friends.]
[Reward: 100 Lien]
[Punishment: You will get exploded.]
[Time Limit: 2 Minits]
Corin's eyes gained a small dollar sign in them as he looked at the two sisters, 'I wonder if I stick near these two... How much more money will I gain...'
[Master, if you continue like this they are going to get scared.]
Corin snapped out of it and looked at the two more normally and sane. "Sorry did you say anything?''
Yang shook her head, "Nothin much, just about how weird you are.''
'Im not weird, am I? Am I System?' Corin thought.
[... Im sorry but I can't lie, Master.]
'...Fuck you too then.' Coirn focused back on the sisters, well sister. Ruby was now running around looking and commenting about people's weapons.
"Thanks for not calling her weird or anything." Yang suddenly said.
"Why would I do that?'' Corin questioned.
"Buncha people at our old school did, I was worried you would think she is weird too.''
"No, I do."
"Huh?''
"She is very weird, but thats not a reason to be cruel to her." Corin looked at the zooming red blur, well to others it would be a blur. Corin saw how excited she was looking at the weapons before she was in front of them again.
"Yang! Corin! They have so many cool weapons!''
"Easy there, little sister. They're just weapons!" Yang grabbed her hood to prevent her from preventing up to the innocent people from being bombarded with questions.
Ruby looked up at Yang like she had shot her dog, "'Just weapons'? They're an extension of ourselves! They're a part of us! Oh, they're so cool! They allow us to be hero's!"
'But being a hero is stupid.' Corin thought absent mindlessly.
[Why do you think this master?]
'Most of the time you die in bullshit ways, like Fergus, a blind spear man got him. While swimming.'
[Sucks to be Fergus. Sucks to be you.]
'...wait does the Fate Abridged Curse affect us too?'
[...Damn it]
Corin sighed loudly and focused back on the sisters. Again.
"Well, why can't you swoon over your own weapon? Aren't you happy with it?" Yang questioned.
Ruby takes out her weapon, a scythe/gun thing. "Of course I'm happy with Crescent Rose! I just really like seeing new ones. It's like meeting new people, but better..."
"Ah, so you only said hi to me because of my weapon. I see." Corin dramatically sighed.
Ruby rapidly started to wave her arms, "Wait no- no- I- you were standing with yang so- your weapon is cool but-"
"I'm pulling your leg Ruby, it's fine." Corin smiled.
"Oh... ok?" Ruby tilted herself, "But he didn't pull my leg?" She whispered to herself.
Yang let go of Ruby's cape before pulling her hood over her head, "Ruby, come on, why don't you go try and make some friends of your own?"
Ruby took off her hood, "But... why would I need friends if I have you and now Corin."
"Well..." in a flash, a group of other students surround Yang, "Actually, my friends are here. Gotta go catch up. Come on Corin I want to introduce you to them." Yang grabbed Corin's hand before her friends dragged them away. "See ya later little sis!"
[Quest complete: Yanging Around: When Yang leaves Ruby go with her.]
[Reward being delivered to your bank account now.]
'Nice. More money.' Corin thought with a BUNCH of greed.
Corin may hate the idea of being a hero, but money is money.
Yang and her friends finally stopped dragging him.
"Sorry for dragging you Corin, but I kind of want Ruby to learn how to be more independent ya know?" Yang rubbed the back of her head.
"Hm. Makes sense." Corin shook his wrist a bit. 'Damn... is my luck that bad that they almost hurt my wrist?'
[Master, your luck only activates at critical points. Which for some reason this was considered one.]
'...Loki?'
[Loki.]
'...I hate him.'
[We all do.]
Corin felt someone start to touch his hair, quickly slapping the hand away he looked at the one that dared to touch his hair. One of Yang's friends.
"If you wanna touch it pay up first." Corin scowled at the girl.
"Look Yang! He's just like you with your hair!" The girl laughed.
Yang through her arm around Corin, "Lookie here! Another fellow hair enthusiast."
Corin looked at Yang with a deadpan face, "Don't say it like that it sounds perverted."
Yang laughed a bit before flopping on a park bench, coincidentally taking Corin with her.
The girl that had tried to touch Corins hair earlier took out her wallet, "How much to touch your hair?"
Corin thought for a moment, "100 Lien. Per minute."
[Isn't that a bit much?]
'Well either she realizes that and gives up or she doesn't and I get money.'
[...That- ...Alright.]
When Corin looked at the girl again she had brought out a bunch of lien, along with some of the other people in the group. Even yang had some lien in her hand.
"Wait... no-"
-30 Minutes Later-
Corin brushed his hair while glaring at the group of people in front of him. "Next time, there will be a 300 lien up-charge if you ruin my hair. Understand."
The group all nodded at the same time, before whispering to each other "Worth it."
[At least you got 3,000 lien.]
'At the cost of my braid being undone.' Corin thought, 'I don't know how to redo it.'
Corin put his hair into a low pony tail. Before Yang sat back down beside her (she had joined the group on saying worth it.) "What shampoo and conditioner do you use Corin?"
Corin looked at Yang, "Glynda Goodwitch and Winter Schnee Approved Shampoo And Conditioner Double Set For 150 Lien." Corin said almost robot like.
"...Oh..." Yangs face was shadowed for a moment, "SAME!" Yang looked up with familiar stars in her eyes. The same stars Ruby had when she was talking about weapons.
'Ah... so they are siblings.' Corin thought with a small smirk.
[You didn't think they were?]
'Sort of? They barely look alike.'
[Ah. Makes sense I suppose.]
While Yang and Corin continued to talk about expensive hair care Yangs friends looked upon them with small knowing smirks of their own before they slowly backed away and left the two hair obsessed idiots alone.
————————————————
That's it for now! Corin talked to Yang, Ruby, and got money! All in a days work. I'll see you later my friends.
