Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 163: Infinite Pocket

The trip was going to take two full days to get there, even with the tank, but there was a town along the way that we would stop and stay at the first night. We could get there faster if we drove all night, but we had been giving the mission for the reason that we could make it to the location for the time that the slaves would be rolling through, and we would still be a day early.

"Have any of you ever been to Ratiha or this town up ahead, Kerlick? I know you have Jill, but your information is a bit dated."

"No, the place has been very closed off, and those that enter don't usually return," Rachel/Nuwari explained.

"Well according to Tescelle's map, the town is a good size, even bigger than Locksland, so we should be able to get a feel for what the people will be like."

God, I wish she would just get it over with and evolve! Tescelle magic was the one thing I needed to be able to do. That's what I should have been doing, I would have to get on top of her as soon as I got back...anyways, this tower had some weird buildings in it and I wanted to check them out. Plus, I had shit to trade! 

One of the funniest magic got this week was a thing called Infinite Pocket magic, well that's what I called it. Julien was a Dogfolk with this magical ability that he called Space Stretcher magic; as one of the few beastfolk with an innate talent for magic before I gave him my power, I was interested in him. The kid was thirteen and was still with his parents, but they let me borrow the kid to come with me through town with three other random magic-user children and one or two of my wives.

The kid had a ridiculous personality that was fun and challenging all at the same time, so the time was fun. After certain events happened, the kid ended up evolving and now I had this super funny magic. It kind of reminded me of Bhan and His Convenience quirk, the meals he would serve us, His favorite trick was to reach behind you and then pull out exactly what you wanted. This was nowhere as useful as that, but that idiot needed it, and every advantage that came with it. 

More digressing, to the point, my speedos had pockets, big ones, that normally would barely fit a pen, but with Infinite Pocket, it was a whole other story.  I had about three hundred spheres in one of my pants pockets along with a hundred thousand dollars in hundred and twenties. On the other side of my speedo, I had one hundred bottles of water, about fifteen sandwiches, and changes of clothes for everyone rolled up. Basically, anything that could fit in my pockets went in there, but the sandwiches would still go bad.

Thinking of that, I pulled out five sandwiches that were only a little bit squished. Pretty good for being in a pocket with two hundred kilos of other supplies. I was really hoping it would have been like a bag of holding from that D&D game from the earth. Then we could have packed food for the entire trip, but that would be pretty overpowered, so I would have to do more city patrols in the future with the kids to see where they would go from here.

"Do you think the people are going to be mean or hostile to us?" Rachel asked me.

"I kind of hope so, maybe not hostile, but I sure hope they don't act over happy or anything like that. I have seen one too many Wickerman movies to walk into a strange and remote place where everyone is just far too happy."

"Well, I don't think they will be happy to see us or hostile, but I don't think we will be treated as guests. We all need to stick together, that means you the most, Harry! You are not superman this time, you are Harry the Hair Master! So, you can just go running off on your own going gung-ho like normal. You have to stay with the party and keep a low profile," Esmeralda chided me.

"Yes, Ma'am, I will hold your hand, and stay with the group. Don't worry, I will let you guys have the fun this time, but I will be helping in little ways to make things easier. Remember, If things get tough, I will take over, and Mesh, buddy, I had to do this to you, but I command you not to turn into a dragon until I say."

"Understood!" Red/mesh said, turning in his seat with a chest-pounding salute.

"Everyone, I order you all to not do anything that will harm or jeopardize the safety of anyone in this party. This order cannot be disobeyed."

"What is the point of that? None of us would do something like that? I also don't understand why you would prevent me from changing into a dragon at my own will?" Mesh asked me, still turned.

All the girls stayed silent, they knew why I had given this order, there was a ninety percent chance that the person that was causing these abductions was MainFrame. If it was him, he wouldn't be alone, but he alone had the power to influence other people's minds, and use all other sorts of dirty trips. So, we all needed to be up to speed on Reginold.

"There is one thing that we haven't told you about," I told Red, and then explained everything about MainFrame and the kinds of things he was capable of. 

By the time I had finished explaining everything, the town of Kerlick was in sight. Red was nodding his head in understanding, which was good. Now we were all on the same page, and everyone was up to speed, with the dangers that more than likely lie ahead. Who knew what kind of trouble lay waiting for us in the town of Kerlick?
