NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6: Witch Tamer
"Huh!...Wait...Ahha!" Kai said tapping his fist on his palm while watching the little girl who was munching on her bread, "I got an idea."
His eyes rolled upward. His fingers intertwined, fidgeting restlessly as his mind swirled with a storm of thoughts.
A wide, toothy grin spread across his face before he let out a soft, mischievous chuckle.
"Hehehe," amused by the ridiculous ideas running through his mind, his expressions didn't change as his mind raced with countless schemes.
--
Red-colored curtains were hung on the wooden stage.
A tiny version of Kai, with an oversized head and exaggerated grin appeared holding up a scroll labelled "The Ultimate Food Heist Plan," pointing to it with a pointer stick.
While a crowd of mini-Kai's cheered him on.
Curtains opened, revealing...
Kai's chibi version stood near a food stall, which had labelled 'Hot t##s for 10 coppers.
"Oi, old man that's enough, give me your whole food now." Chibi Kai said slightly narrowing his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest and puffing it out with confidence.
"Huh? You got some nerve, kid," the chibi vendor replied, smacking his hand repeatedly on his stall counter.
"Alright, you asked for it," chibi Kai replied, waving his clenched fist towards vendor.
"Wicked Forest Witch, I choose you!" He said, throwing something in the chibi vendor's direction.
A blue light descended where the square object that landed. A chibi girl with platinum hair, fangs, horns, and large nails appeared.
Grrr!
She growled at vendor and lunged at him.
"Aaaahhh!" chibi vendor growled.
Later the chibi vendor, now had a bandage on his head, bowing down on his knees toward chibi Kai said, "I am so sorry, you can have all the food." Kai's grin widened.
The curtains fell, and the same chibi Kai holding "The Ultimate Food Heist Plan" scroll appeared again on the wooden stage.
A crowd of mini-Kai's cheered, and the three mini-Kai's sitting near the stage picked up their boards, signaling '10', '10', '9'.
Chibi Kai on stage bowed and left the stage.
--
Now this time another chibi Kai appeared, holding a scroll labelled, "Revenge!" Crowd of mini-Kai's cheered even greatly then the cheering before.
Curtains opened, revealing a chibi guy standing inside an equipment shop.
"I want this," chibi Kai said, wearing an armor.
"It will cost 100 coppers," chibi vendor said stretching his hand towards chibi Kai to get his money.
"Here!" chibi Kai said, handing him a square object. The chibi vendor took a closer look as blue light emitted from it.
A chibi girl with platinum hair, fangs, claws, and horns appeared and lunged at the vendor without hesitation.
"Aaaaah!"
The chibi vendor, now with a bandage on his head, bowing up and down on his knees toward chibi Kai said, "I am so sorry master for all the things I had said to you, you can take whole shop if you want. " Kai's grin widened.
Just like before, curtains fell down and the same Kai stepped on the stage, crowd cheered him more and the three mini-Kai's sitting near the stage picked up their boards, signaling '10', '10', '10'.
Chibi Kai on stage bowed and left the stage.
--
Another chibi Kai stepped on the stage, holding a scroll labelled, "Sweet Home," crowd of mini-Kai's cheered for him.
Curtains opened, revealing, chibi Kai pounding a mansion's door with his foot.
"How dare you! Courting death?" A chibi boy came out and said while waving his clenched fist in air.
Some chibi guards also came after him, readying themselves to fight Kai.
"Give me that Mansion and in return I will give you this rare and ancient artifact that is only one in the world," chibi Kai said, holding something and waving his hand up and down towards the chibi boy.
"Show me," chibi boy said, stretching his hand towards chibi Kai. Chibi Kai handed him something square shaped, from which a blue light started to emit.
Grrr!
A little girl with fangs, claws and horns appeared and attacked the chibi boy and his guards.
"Nooo!"
"Aaaaaah!"
Chibi boy and his guards screamed.
The chibi boy, now had a bandage on his head, along with his guards, bowing up and down on his knees toward chibi Kai and said, "Big brother, this mansion belongs to you. " Kai's grin widened.
Just like before, curtains fell down and the same Kai stepped on the stage, holding the scroll labelled, "Sweet Home."
Crowd cheered him and the three mini-Kai's sitting near the stage picked up their boards, signaling '8', '9', '10'. Chibi Kai on stage bowed and left the stage.
--
Kai thought of countless schemes and picked the most suitable ones that have high guarantee of working.
"She hadn't done anything after I gave her food, which means she is..." Kai said as a sly grin tugged his lips.
But it suddenly disappeared as..
'But I don't know I can approach her or not yet?' Kai thought inwardly as he narrowed his eyes, still doubted or scared.
'Maybe i should just give her food for few more days and then..' a smile tugged on his lips.
He sat down on the floor, glaring at the little girl with a bit serious gaze, making her flinch.
"This will be fun," he muttered, pinching his chin with his right hand while crossing his left arm across his chest, returning his gaze towards the little girl who had finished eating her slice of bread.
"Who would have thought I would eventually become a witch tamer?" Kai muttered to himself, while brushing his hand through his shaggy black hair.
He said witch tamer, even though there were no witches in this world, let alone witch tamers.
Although there was magic in this world and mages too but not the witches, who were just portrayed as evil creatures used as bedtime stories for the kids.
Unaware of this fact Kai pondered again of his scheme's.
"Hehee!" He chuckled, looking at the girl who still had indifferent expression.
