Back to adventure

Chi-Chi wore the clothes I gave her and passed her old clothes to me to keep. She wanted to wash them, but I would likely just refuse to give them back.

"It looks great on you, really form fitting."

"I- I can't believe I accepted this."

"Well, its comfortable isn't it?"

Chi-Chi blushed and looked away and folding her arms together. "So what, that doesn't accuse your dirty nature for having these."

"Well, not only are they comfortable, but they are also good for exercise. Plus I have prepared clothes, not just those."

"Not just these?" She faced me again now a little angry.

"Of course, however you didn't ask about them. Now hush, you are already wearing these. You don't need more."

"Ugh fine, where are we heading."

"We will be having a short stop at a village where I will pick up a dangerous item. Then after that we have to head to a volcano to both stop this guy named pilaf and obtain a fire eating bird's egg shell. This Egg shell is how we fix the Cauldron thing."

"So we just fly there?"

"Well yeah, that's why you learned it didn't you?"

Chi-Chi started to float upward slightly. I lifted off and guess at a appropriate speed that Chi-Chi would be able to fly at.

"This feels pretty good!"

I was a little faster so i slowed down to match her pace. Do the math it would be an hour to the village and we should arrive at the volcano just in time. "Which part?"

"Feeling the air through my hair is pretty great and...you wanna race?"

I was a little surprised, "Are you feeling competitive? The village is just directly head of where we are right now. If you manage to beat me... I won't tease you anymore."

"HAHA! You are on!" She then blasted off, at a decent speed. It was much faster than the flying nimbus which was good. It also meant she adapted quickly. Problem was she thought she could beat me.

I started to speed up, but wrapping around at a curve past her. So she wouldn't notice me. I made it to the village within a 10 minutes. I was a little too much faster than Chi-Chi, however waiting for her to arrive was gonna be just as good.

"Who are you?"

"Ah! Hello, My name is Z. I'm here because you have something very dangerous. I wish to contain it and give it to the guardian of the earth." That was a lie, but not like it matter to me.

"Guardian of earth? Hmmm, Sure. My name is Chao. What is it that your looking for?"

"Well, its called the Gourd of Mist."

The girl's eyes lit up. She was clearly much more suspicious. After all it was used to terrorize her town. "Look I can see you are suspicious. However do you remember a boy named Goku?"

"You know Goku?"

"Yes, I do. He actually told me about the gourd and he wanted me to say hi to Terror and Plague."

"Ah, I see... I'll take you to the chieftain then."

"I have a companion coming here soon. She will be flying down like I did. Can you take her to the chiefitan as well?"

"I can, but what if she arrives while I am-"

"She flies fairly slowly. So she will take about 20 minutes if she is really pushing it. We were having a race."

"Oh wow. You are kind of a bully aren't you?"

"Huh? Uhh, What do you mean?"

"She is your companion right? If you are already here and she will take 20 minutes to get here. You clearly knew she would lose."

This girl was a little attentive, perhaps she could...Nah. Even if she was special or what not, she wouldn't be that interesting. She was just a stranger I didn't want to get to know.

The walk to the chieftain's place only took a short walk, but the chief wasn't home so we had to wait. "Why do you want the gourd of mist?"

"I told you, I am going to give it to the guardian of earth. He will then pass it back to the orginal owner."

"What was its original purpose?"

This girl was a clever one, and a suspicious one. However my lies were slick and in the many. "It was used to make varying alcohols. The Owner, Oblin, he would fill the jar with meats and berries to ferment them quickly."

Chao was astonished at what I said. Likely not really expecting what I said. "What is the purpose of the role call."

I made a confused look, "Role call? Do you mean the automatic harvesting phrasing?"

She took the bait and started to doubt her suspicion which was thankfully good. Since the chief arrived just on time to stop the girl from continuing.

"Chao who is this?"

"He says his name is Z and he is here for the Gourd of Mist."

The old man was shocked. "The gourd!" He grabbed Chao and pulled her back slightly.

I ignored it and let the man try to get in a more confident stance. "What's wrong? Don't tell me it was stolen again!" I created faux worry, and the chief almost instantly calmed down.

"There have just been some bandits who tried to get there hands on it. Luckily Terror and Plague stopped them. They used to terrorize us with it, however after some time of being terrorized themselves with it they really turned around."

"It was being used to terrorize your town? Chao said that as well. Care to explain?"

"Hmmm, I believe we might both be a little confused on the Gourd. I'll tell you all the details we know, after that you can tell your side of what you know about the gourd. I can then judge your intentions."

"That's fair." My whole side would be a massive lie, but it was whatever. As long as I could convince them.

Chao spoke up before leaving me and the Chief. "I am gonna get Terror and Plague. To make sure your alright Chief. After that I'll wait and look out for your companion Z."

"That's fine, I can understand your concerns."

Hopefully no violence would be need here. Just had to wait for Chi-Chi, she would be a good tool to solidify my 'good' intentions...
