@HieHie_Ningen //w.n.: Oh no.... I'm so sorry to hear that, Kuzan-mun. It's okay about the plots. We can just redo it again or continue from where we left.
@HyouketsuNingen [...........Huh?]
Did he just state he ate fruit and gained powers? What kind of joke was this?
[...I didn't eat anything and I have gained these powers. You are so strange. How can a mere fruit gifted you with power?]
Instead of letting herself to be caught by the exceedingly tall man, Ryuuko unleashed her Rashomon powers, stabbing the ground around the man with black blade-like legs, stopping herself from crushing the man. She sprang up, landing just a few feet away.
[...Sorry +
@2DimensiMenfess [...There is no need for pardon. Your view doesn't bother me at the slightest.]
The young girl took a sip of her black tea, savoring the light sweetness.
[But, you have never stood at the top. You are always at the bottom of the ocean, that's what I can say.]
@derfreisetzen + her 'identity'.
[I was practicing my techniques and...I got careless.]
That's all. That should be enough for an easy-to-understand explanation.
'What is that-'
Before she could reacted further, the young woman unwilling dived into the portal, only to pop out somewhere near the ground and she landed safely. What a strange ability...
She stood up, bowing towards her lifesaver.
[Thank you for your help.]
@derfreisetzen The young girl did not answer immediately. It was hard to introduce the idea of... uh... being thrown to another place by a book?
[...Long short story, that is an accident.]
Since the lifesaver also possessed some kind of strange abilities, she didn't feel the need to hide +
@CrimsonRegnatus + not paying attention to her surroundings. To be precise, she tried not.
[...Thank you for saving me. I am sorry for the troubles I have caused to you.]
Seemed like the young woman was too late in saving herself but thanks to the stranger, she's saved.
[Uh...]
She stared the young man who caught her.
[Can you put me down, please?]
@2DimensiMenfess - knew what to do in such as situation. Upon your body almost hit him, immediately he opened his arms and then caught your falling body like it was nothing, like what currently happened was something ordinary.
"....."
@CrimsonRegnatus As her feet met the ground, the young girl sighed in relief. To fall from the sky... she's glad that it is not high enough and somehow, she could reduce the power of the impact with her abilities, which she did without anyone noticing.
The young girl bowed down to the man, +
@HyouketsuNingen + just know a few circus tricks.]
Was the only reply she could give to the older man. She was told to not reveal the true nature of her powers to a powerless human, as it might cause further confusion or worse, the human might used her to their advantage.
@HyouketsuNingen [Devil... fruit? ...Huh?]
Ryuuko furrowed her thin eyebrows, looking perplexed at the term. What was this 'devil fruit' mentioned by the man? And did demons even existed? Thousands of questions suddenly popped out inside her head akin to New Year's fireworks.
[...Let's say I +
@Pckerfaxe While her mentor told her to not be flashy with her powers, the girl insisted this time she should used it or it's going to be fatal to the both of them.
[...It is hard to explain. Let's say I know some...circus magic tricks.]
'He should've just move away!'
Ryuuko activated her Rashomon, entangled the hem of her ability onto a lamppost, stopping herself from crashing to the man. She landed on the ground safely.
[...I must've surprised you. Sorry for the troubles.]
She bowed down slightly.
Oh no! She's going to hit him at this rate. She activated her powers, using Rashomon to latch onto a nearby building and using it to change her direction. She landed safely beside the stranger.
[I must have surprised you. I am sorry for the troubles.]
