Chapter 17: Suu and the bunker

Leylin's POV

"Give me a minute," I said, picking up a branch from the ground to create a combination of glyphs for teleportation.

I should explore magic more to develop a teleportation spell without glyphs, I don't know when the titan will disappear like in the original story.

"Alright, step into the circle," I asked Willow before activating the glyph to teleport us to the state of Oregon, to the town of Gravity Falls, precisely to a forest nearby.

"I don't feel so good," Willow declared, slightly shaken.

"You'll get used to it," I replied, looking around. I was with Willow in a clearing in the middle of the forest.

"Suu, I'm here!" I shouted to my third subordinate.

"MASTER!" a voice resonated before I was tackled in the stomach by a purple slime.

"I've already told you several times not to do that," I said, sighing.

If it weren't for my superhuman physique, I'd already be on the ground completely out of action.

"I'm sorry, Master Leylin, but it's been so long since I've been able to see you, and observing these stupid humans has become tiring," she said, wriggling in my arms in her slime form.

Suu is one of my inventions, she's literally a conscious abomination.

I was able to create her by combining a crystal, a Galdorstone, and a potion to give life. The result is a success but also a bit of a failure.

Unlike Beast or Huntress, Suu can't use magic on her own. It seems that without the titan's blood or Palistrom wood, I can't create a conscious being capable of using magic.

But in exchange, Suu possesses really practical abilities like shape-shifting, telepathy, perfect memory, and she's also a magic amplifier.

So yes, she's technically my personal weapon since she can become a musical instrument on command, but also my infiltration agent because of her ability to change shape.

"It's okay, now explain the situation to me," I said, putting her down on the ground.

She immediately left her slime form to take a shape similar to Suu from Monster Musume but in a mature version. She's gotten into the habit of taking this form after hanging around the human world for a few months.

According to her, it's easier to get information with an attractive appearance around humans, and that led her to take a voluptuous human form.

In the end, she went from the loli Suu form I knew to the milf Suu form when she meets me, and when she deals with humans, she takes the form of a young girl with attractive curves.

"You could make some clothes appear," Willow declared, staring at Suu with a dark look.

"The master has seen me born, so I don't see the point, but if it can 'comfort' you," she said with a smug smile before clothes formed on her.

"You..." I could clearly see Willow starting to get angry.

This reminds me why I sent Suu to the human world and not Beast, even though the latter is extremely effective in his missions.

"Calm down, both of you. Suu, don't provoke your elder," I said to her, frowning.

"Sorry, Master Leylin!" she replied hastily.

Unlike Beast or Huntress, whose personality and loyalty process I couldn't completely control, Suu has a mind completely created by me.

So loyalty is 100% guaranteed.

"Can you tell me about recent events?" I asked, creating wooden chairs to sit on with a plant glyph.

"Yes," she said before starting to explain the situation to me.

To sum up, there have been many events that I missed, like the lake monster or even Dipper's fight against Gideon with the telekinesis amulet.

I must be somewhere around season 1 if my canonical knowledge is correct.

"Do you remember where the kid in the cap got his book?" I asked Suu as I stood up.

"Yes, I have the path in mind," she said, puffing out her chest.

I really need to think about resetting her, and why is it so big, damn it.

"Professor..." Willow's voice resonated beside me.

Shit...

...

"It's here," she said, pointing to a tree.

"Thanks for everything, Suu. You can go back," I said, giving her titan blood contained in a vial.

I prefer to be the only one holding the key to the door leading to the demon world, but also the only one knowing the activation mechanism of the astral door.

"Can't I stay with you longer?" she said, changing form to become a slime again and placing herself on my shoulder.

"I'll contact you if I need more power, but for now, you have to pretend to be me and Willow with my family," I explained, taking her from my shoulder to put her on the ground.

"Okay, okay, I understand that I'm the only one really useful to the master," she said, glancing at Willow before tracing a teleportation circle to return to "Old Gravesfield" and go back to the Boiling Isles.

"Let's go, Willow," after speaking, I headed towards the tree indicated by Suu before using my Oracle magic to test each branch of the tree until I found a lever.

*brrr* sounds of secret entrance opening.

"I present to you our temporary base," I said to her, smiling.

"Impressive, humans can really create interesting things without magic," Willow declared, observing the opening mechanisms.

"The witches and demons of the Boiling Isles are just too used to the ease that magic brings," I said, going down first.

"To hear you, one would think that magic can be a problem," Willow replied, slightly frowning but following me anyway.

"Yes, it can become a problem if we become dependent on it," I explained, looking around me.

"You say that, but you're addicted to magic, haha," Willow said, clearly provoking me.

She rummages through a closet and checks the quality of the dusty blades and revolvers. It seems she's becoming more and more of a warrior.

"Come over here instead of talking nonsense." My voice didn't hide my annoyance.

Willow isn't entirely wrong, I'm really addicted to magic and its mysteries, but I'm not as traditionalist as the witches of the Boiling Isles.

I study it, I experiment, I take notes, I preserve, and I explore options considered taboo like the mind of intelligent beings.

So yes, I'm different from the other witches and demons of the Isles.

"What's this strange room?" Willow asked, looking around. There were several strange symbols drawn on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

"You're asking me as if I knew," I said without thinking too much.

*cough cough* sounds of coughing.

Willow just coughed while looking at me. I often forget that I've given her the habit of me being a sort of walking library.

"Okay, okay, I know, but I really don't know everything about everything," I said, rolling my eyes before deliberately triggering the trap.

"What's that?" Willow questioned, watching the walls close in.

"Nothing special, I'll quickly fix it," I reassured her before using an energy construct to press the 4 symbols to stop the walls' advance.

I could just destroy the door to get out, but I want to avoid damaging this place if possible.

After leaving the trapped room, we arrived in a room resembling a control room.

"I don't know why, but this place reminds me of your workshop and our hideout," she said, rummaging around a bit.

"Logical, I was inspired by human science in my installation," I explained simply as I walked further with Willow into the bunker.

"I know you said this is our temporary base, but I'm not comfortable here."

I could feel she was nervous, she was even grabbing the sword at her waist.

"Help!" shouted a voice from the end of a tunnel.
