"I-I'm sorry, madam yokai. But I'm afraid we can't help with whatever you need."

Heh. Cute kid., the hornet thought to herself, the task at hand mercifully ridding all of the embarrassment she was feeling moments ago.

"No, no. I'm not here for you to help me. I'm here to help you, your dad and everyone else in this village out.", Kerry began, going on the balls of her feet as she crouched down to the boy's eye level. "See, a few of my friends and myself are with a monk who wants to heal you folks. I just have a couple of questions. How many of you have fallen ill? When did the first of you get sick and how?"

Look! The boy is already shipping Kerry x Relica. Soon, he'll make fanfiction and lewd art all because two mamono were in the same room together and Kerry said something she didn't mean to let out! XD

"Why not regale the boy with tales of your romantic exploits, Curry?"

Kerry, who was pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head as she still processed the fact these idiots ate mushrooms before learning whether or not they were safe to eat, wasn't really paying attention to what was being said around her so when Relica said her statement, she, quick as a whip and with zero thought and filter....

"Well, there was that one time back in Grelden when you and I were on 24 hour outpost duty, we got bored one night, started having drinks, one fun lead to another and then we had some really steamy se-"

Situational awareness finally caught up to the hornet as she remembered where she was and promptly shut up, hand covering her mouth as she cheeks instantly flushed red and her eyes widened in mortified horror. She didn't even need to look to Relica to know the gremlin was feeling the same, though with more fury at the fact that Kerry just babbled a secret.

Did I just say that out loud?, she thought to herself, her brain blazing miles per minute. DID I JUST FUCKING SAY THAT OUT LOUD!?

"A-A-A-A-Anyway, this is no place t-to discuss such things, d-d-don't you think!?", Kerry stammered, desperately trying to save face and rectify the situation, despite her face blushing up a storm. "H-H-Hey, kid!? You said shared those shrooms with another f-family, right!? How 'bout I go check on them real q-quick!? G-Gotta see how much this sickness is a-affecting the village, r-right!?"

Kerry was out the door as she said the last sentence, damn near running as she power-walked over to nearest house, not even knowing if that family lived in said house or not as she was more concerned in getting away from that embarrassing predicament as quickly as possible...

.....that and she didn't want Relica killing her where she stood.

He did this before, although it wasn't this degenerate.

Anyway, he has the original text at the bottom of his post.

THIS WAS A PAIN TO READ!

"Look, I can't do anything about your damaged arm here. Not right now, I didn't bring any of my tools or supplies on this trip because I didn't think I'd run into you right as I left... Didn't expect you to be this banged up either. Still, if you can just wait until I get back to the workstation at that temple, I'll get you sorted, right as rain! ... But, if nothing else, I think it'd be a good idea for you to come with us." Relica said, a concerned and genuine expression on her. "Not to hlep us fight or anyhting, no. Leave the grunt-work and meatshielding to this idiot."

"Yeah, we don't want you overexerting yourse- excuse you, say that again!?", snapped Kerry, at first being reassuring toward Eula before becoming indignant after catching the last part of Relica's statement.

"Ew, no, Eula! Don't eat that! You don't know where it's been. Well, i mean, you do. But that actually just makes it worse. If ya wanna snack on something, eat one of Curry's spears. They come back on their own anyway, so it's fine."

"You wanna get wind-punted across this island, you shortstacked rugrat!? Don't go telling people that they can nibble on my weapons! I need them, in case you forgot!"

You still can. Some of us do more than one post per update whenever one of us feels particularly up for some interaction.

"I told them to head for Terauchi Temple, and that the yokai are harmless. Well, at least to the locals." He explained. "However, I also learned that they were from the survivor camp that we are heading to. The illness struck when they gave all their food to a Varjan patrol that found them."

"Wait, that village got sick after the Varjans found them?", questioned Kerry, eyes narrowing in suspicion. All of this was sounding less like a naturally occurring contagious bug and more like a deliberately planned tactic to spread a plague throughout the island. Now that she thought about it, was it a good idea to send the hostage group back toward the temple? They seemed well enough, but...

"Right you are, madam yokai. We are on our way towards a survivor camp that is in dire need of a healer. The camp has been afflicted with an illness that I do not know yet and I must be there to properly take care of it." The monk replied to Eula. "I know you said you wanted to return to the temple, but why not join us in our mission? Traveling with a group is much better than going at it alone."

The hornet turned to get a proper look at Eula and, upon noticing her right arm, gave a slight wince. Kerry had spent enough time with Relica and the other tech-heads back in Grelden to know a thing or two about Automatons. Specifically, she learned about how damage an Automaton can take before said damage gets to a point where it actively restricts and limits her performance and requires much needed repairs. Given the condition of her right arm, and despite the clear attempt to repair it, Eula wouldn't be able to perform at full strength.

"I would very much like a third member to our team, but....", she spoke, turning to Relica. "You're the expert here, Rel. Is Eula still good to go?

"You had one job. One. You been slacking off after you left Grelden, Cury? That axe-ham shoulda been a cinch for someone like you to knock out, but noooo~! Now I'm down one drone and I haven't even been here for half a day yet."

"Oh no. Relica is down a drone. Oh, the mamono-manity. Whatever shall we do? We are powerless. This surely spells the end for us all.", Kerry replied as she rested Dusk on her shoulders, voice 100% in sarcastic monotone before rolling her eyes like she had been on the receiving end of a Relica-loaded tirade before......and that's because she has been on the receiving end of a Relica-loaded tirade before.

10 times, as a matter of fact.

"Done with your tantrum, Rel? How was I supposed to know one good stab wasn't enough to take him out? Not every enemy goes down in one hit, you know that as well as I do. 'Sides, you can fix it. And if not.....well, those crates may have enough materials for you to make more. Drones are replaceable. Lives aren't."

Done with her statement, Kerry then turned to the newly arrived member of their quest with a smile.

"Hey. I don't think we've properly met before. Name's Kerry. Nice timing on your entrance, by the way. We were kinda stuck on what to do before you came along."
