"Arrrgghhh!" he muttered as he clutched his head in
frustration. His other unique problems weren't helping matters
either. The future rulers of the planet were all trying to kill
him for one. Plus the increasing difficulty of the monsters that
were being sent into the city; they were getting stronger faster
than he was.
I guess it doesn't matter which 'future rulers' you are talking about.
Right now the biggest disagreement most of them have with each other is how
big a piece to take out of him and whose turn it is. They aren't very good
about sharing either.
"Well, at least something's gone right," he muttered as he
held up the disk to inspect it. It wasn't the same one he'd
pulled out of the building. It was like the one Kajura had given
him. He'd transferred the other one to the disk and kept it as a
sort of {souvaneer : souvenir}. A decision that still bothered him on some
level, and he had no idea why.
The newspaper slowly lowered to reveal a familiar scowling
mug. "You've got what I want?"
"Of course I do," replied Carrot as he held the disk up in
the man's face.
It's all in EBCDIC and *you'll* be the one needing a new computer to read
it this time.
"No, stronger," she corrected out loud as she remembered the
headlines. Some of the monsters he'd faced were very strong. The
{Goblin like : goblin-like} monster particularly.
The girl nodded and absently fingered her throat lightly.
"You're right {mom : Mom}."
It looks like I'll need to reread the past chapters. It looks like she
isn't really healed.
The connecting alleyways and shortcuts were well known to him{: ,}
but he didn't like using them. They were trouble magnets,
unfortunately, he realized that it was just as much him as the
alleys.
"You know, I'm getting tired of this. You've gone and wrecked
this nice old lady's business, and you don't look like you want
to stop there. You're a public {nuicence : nuisance}, a pedophile, and to top
it off...your fly is open."
And he always falls for that.
"Don't scream," said the boy lamely.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" cried the pair excitedly.
They just never listen, do they?
"Like figuring out how you're going to save the world while
half your team is gone. Like figuring out how you're going to
revive the princess without Sailor Moon. Like finding the Silver
Imperium Crystal before the {Youma : youma} do. Lots of things."
Actually, it did look worse. Most of the other {Youma : youma},
excluding the Goblin, were nothing more than laughable excuses
for monsters. Easily destroyed once you figured out what sort of
powers and weaknesses they had.
The way he had painted the {Youma : youma} operation was also starting
to make sense as well. He'd been blowing hot air more than
anything else at the time. However, it made sense as well.
She'd deal with the boy later, it was obvious that he sided
with the dark powers. He clung to the shadows like a creature of
evil, and his mode of dress just screamed 'I'm up to something
bad'.
Still, he wasn't doing anything really wrong at the moment,
so she supposed she had to let him be for the time being.
That's unusually forgiving of Mao Lin. I guess she's just distracted
looking for her sister.
"Pet me. It's {theraputic: therapeutic} and good for your heart!" said the
animal as she jumped in his lap.
I was a bit surprised to not see Gia reaching for her torture, ah, medical
kit.
"Wow," said the younger girl as she watched the animal writhe
in {extacy : ecstasy}.
"Stop that! You're bouncing me around!" said Luna. "Hey!
Finish petting me! Hey! Stop that and finish!"
At least she has her priorities.
"Okay I guess, Mr. Yamada kept laughing really loud and waved
a roll of film in my face after he came back from the field
today. I'm not sure what it was about, but he seemed really
happy."
Too bad he hadn't had it developed before exposing it to the light again.
Carrot swallowed and nodded as he opened the door in order to
let her in. The tingling in his body had grown infinitely
stronger. "So...heh...what's up?"
Michiru just smiled at him.
My guess from that build up is that she's with child and it's probably not
Haruka's. Life meet blender, again.
Heh. You didn't expect me to let you off easy this time did
ya? ^_^
You are a sick, sick man. More please, soon.
