Breaking The Fourth Walls (A Douluo Dalu Fanfic) - Chapter 33

3 days later…

It has been five days since i tried to find any clues about Tang san and his parents but really it has not worked out, and right now i am in a tavern working as a chef to gather information in lou empire. The tavern is conventionally called boars hat… I’m just kidding but it would be really amazing to have Meliodas in Douluo dalu. Hmm… i wonder if that was made as a fanfic but anyways the tavern is actually called corner stone, and just a few days before i got here it was a regular tavern but ever since i worked here its been… kind of hectic.

I mean the tables are always full customers and the floor would also be used instead, at first the bar keeper who hired me thought that i was going to be a burden but after filling his pockets with a bag of silver coins he has not stopped praising for my good work and efforts. But anyways besides the two of us there was his wife and 16 year old Son who also helped out in waiting a few of the customers. The bar keepers name is Ma while his wife’s name is Song, and their son named shun who had also helped me out in the kitchen sometimes, they are very nice people in fact their relationship reminded me of the same relationship old lou and the long brothers had back in Gengxin city.

The price for my service was nothing except for a place to stay in as i needed to find something or someone and would work for no payment, meaning i would be employed for free i think that was why Ma hired me on the spot even with my child like physique. But his wife and son insisted that i looked pitiful and was probably poor with nowhere else to stay, so even after hiring me i got the job cleaning out garbage and the place. However, after cooking a few meals by myself in the kitchen the family were shocked at the aroma emanating from the meals i made and were even more shocked as they tasted the food itself as it was a euphoric and delicious at the same time.

At that point they voted me in making me their chef and now here we are, another busy day with a room filled with customers that wanted to try both the alcohol and food at the same time as they were great, delicious, and affordable at the same time… hah try and beat that meliodas…

Meanwhile somewhere in the demon realm someone had just sneezed for the first time in his life, he then looked around and felt a shiver go down his spine he then wondered as to what could have made him sneeze. “Elder Brother did you just sneeze”, he then looked back and saw an almost identical match of him except he had black raven hair instead, “It is nothing Zeldris, now where are the others”….

Back to Oscar…

So you guys back ok, now I’ve got the info i needed from a few of people who had been spreading rumors about a kid that could compete even with the top blacksmiths of Gengxin city. It was also said that the kid had blue hair and had used strange techniques to take care of a few customers who refused to pay because of the price they said they could not afford, which was obviously a lie as they immediately paid for it in double the amount after they got their ȧssess handed to them. It was also said that the kid had just arrived about two days ago and was working in a local blacksmith workshop, I then immediately got out of the kitchen and handed my resignation papers as well as a few recipes to some dishes i made to shun, he looked at me and wondered where i was going all of a sudden, “Hey little O where are you going”.

I looked towards him and said, “Sorry shun but I QUIT.”, i then turned and left before he could say anything else, his mother Song came out and asked what was going on. “Hey Shun where is Little O going”, Shun looked towards his mother and said, “He quit”, his mother was shocked but then smiled as she said, “You’re father is not going to like this but i guess little O found what he was looking for, did he leave anything”, shun replied saying, “Yeah he left a recipe for the dishes he made, also a resignation letter”. The mother and son continued talking to each other as they watched their latest employee disappearing from their sight as he tried to find any other information concerning his next targets.

10 minutes later Oscars Pov…

Even after using 25% of my full speed so as to not draw any attention from the crowd i finally found the blacksmith workshop that was said to have Tang san working in it. I knew that this could be a totally different person but i just couldn’t resist not as long as i was this close to finding him, i then found one of the workers and asked him a few questions. “Hey do you have a kid named Tang san working here”, the worker looked at me and said, “Who’s that”, as soon as he said that i felt all of my hopes crushed and instead turned around as i did not let the blacksmith finish what he said. However, i stopped as the blacksmith said, “I don’t know who that kid is but we had a kid named Chen san who just left this morning after getting into trouble with a few customers yesterday”

I then looked at him and quickly asked saying, “Which direction did he head in”, the blacksmith was stunned but pointed in the direction of east and said, “I saw him head out east with that girl who has been with him since he got here”. I immediately stop in my steps and wondered who this girl was, “Girl? what did she look like”, the man tried his best to describe her as much as he could but when he was finished i realized that he just described Xiao Wu. At that point i used 70% of my top speed to catch up to Tang san and Xiao wu, however the person that i left behind just now also had something else to say but i was already too far away for me to hear.

As i moved into the forest i heard distinct noises coming from afar, and so i took out my cloak and went stealth as i followed the trail of the noise. After a few minutes of running i finally see four people chasing two young kids, one had brown amber colored hair and looked like a girl. Whereas the other one in front looked like a boy with blue azure colored hair, I immediately knew that it was both Tang san and Xiao wu but who were these 4 guys. However, i did not care as i only increased my speed to get to them, and maybe kill these four people who were chasing Tang san and Xiao Wu.

General Pov…

As the four people who were chasing Tang san and Xiao wu continued their pursuit one of them spoke saying, “Hey brat i told you, that you would pay for disrespecting me, now give my money back with interest and i might let you both live”. Tang san who was in front and helping Xiao wu to run faster turned and said nothing to the four peoples threat. Both Tang san and Xiao are rank 24 Spirit grandmaster, however the people chasing them, two of them are rank 28 Spirit Grandmasters who Tang san defeated and the other two are rank 38 spirit elders. Tang san could obviously escape by himself however the fact of Xiao wu being injured was not something he wanted, but what he did not know was that Xiao wu herself was in fact a spirit beast who was adopted by Tang san’s parents without knowing himself.

(A.N: I will explain later when they all meet in four years time)

Anyways as Tang san and Xiao wu were running, suddenly they both were blasted by the combined attacks of the two spirit elders behind them. They tripped and fell, however Tang san quickly used a few leg techniques to soften their landing from the recoil of the attack. But as they got up the four people behind them caught up and surrounded them, the first one came up and said, “The money you little brat, I’m gonna give you 5 seconds or you die”. Xiao wu was anxious and was about to reveal her identity and power to save Tang san, but before she could, Tang san got in front of her and protected her. Its due to this protection that she got from Tang san was why she fell in love with him in the first place he then said, “Don’t worry xiao wu big brother is here for you, i won’t let these bastards hurt you”.

“Alright times up kid time for you to die, and your little friend there will join us once you do”, the four then released their strongest attack towards Tang san and Xiao wu. Tang san who knew he could not stop it used his body to protect Xiao wu and possibly block all of the attack and give Xiao wu enough time to escape. But Xiao who was within Tang sans embrace began to glow pink and was about to use her abilities as a spirit beast to protect Tang san, however Oscar who was watching decided to act then as he saw enough to confirm his theories about Xiao wu. He then jumped towards Tang san and Xiao wu’s direction and blocked the attack with his sword that he got from his storage space, Tang san and Xiao wu were stunned at someone who they did not notice the whole time suddenly appearing in front of them and stopping the ȧssault of the four people.

Tang san asked who this man who looked like a kid blocking the attack and then standing in front of them, “Who are you”, Oscar turned and said nothing but looked back at the four people in front of him and said, “Maybe its you people who will die today”
