Quantum Leap Vol 8 Harris Treaty July 29, 1858

C016 Dragons Called Vomit And Burp

I told him it would be about 4000 pieces all together and told him to wheel in more mud and to remove all the 56 handcarts from the warehouse to make space for the wagons fully laden with bricks.

He bowed again and I excused him to return to his work. He is just one guy that really took his brick paving seriously and he was the only one at the job right now while the rest was shovelling mud and all sort of s**t to make lumpy playdoh.

He called his mates to retrieve the empty handcarts and to quickly fill it up and send it back to the warehouse. He also reminded them to help him get the readied bricks.

After 36 handcarts were wheeled in, the man who was setting the brick Road alone told me that that's the last load of s**t the rest had dug to make the road. I asked him for his name and he told me it's Bato. "Alright Bato-san, would you like to work for Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha?"

"Yes... Yes... I would like to. I'm good at bricklaying and I never allow anyone to disturb my work because I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to be perfect, in life and everything that we do every day."

"Good...Good... I like a perfectionist like you. Alright, run along now. When everything has ended, all the workers here would be laid off and I would like to get all of you to work for us instead. Whatever jobs that you land, would be most beneficial for all of you. By the way, which cluster did you come from?"

"I am from Kaneyama, Onuma District. It is a small settlement village that's about 120 residents and my small family and I just moved here and settled in the outermost district. My wife has just started working here, Master, in the 3rd shift as an assembler."

"That's good. Alright Bato-san, I would like to see what your other expertise soon. Be seeing you later then."

I said as he excused himself and heads back to his brick paving as he places each brick slowly and adjusted it before he knocks it down with the cushioned end of a monkey ram.

It is hard to find someone who was meticulous in his work before. Unlike the 4 Execom members, they would prefer to be outdoors instead of being cooped up in town. God knows what they might be doing for as long as they are happy, everyone's happy.

When we're about to enter the warehouse after lunch, I heard a commotion and there was a word like "Fire breathing dragon", "Flying yellow lizard" and so forth that made me stop in my tracks and head towards the source of the commotion.

Saika, Enyo and Fujin were gathering at her father's house and Shiki-sama was unease with the situation. He had sent his men halfway and they had set up camp midway through to O River while Saika acted as an advance party to reach there and to seek out any hostiles before the men would advance. It proved that they had witnessed a yellow coloured dragon, with spikes from the nape of its neck right to end of its tail, with four forehands and about 1.5x of Fujin.

"Dragons in this part of the era? Who could it be? I knew of a legend about dragons before but further past Hiroshima of Japan but never being heard of in Fukushima before." I thought inwardly.

I quickly asked Kaneko to draw how it looked like and it looked rather harmless to me.

"Did this dragon attempt to chase you down when you first saw it? What was the dragon doing at that moment? Any other dragons that you saw within the vicinity? Did it fire breathe or something?" I asked Saika and Enyo and they narrated what they had seen and I looked at the sketch Kaneko Had drawn and it dawned to me it looked rather familiar.

"Saika, can you bring me up from there? I need to see it up close and personal. By the description, I looked rather fearsome but I think it's a gentle creature...!" after Shiko-sama contemplated the idea, he had to let me go since I was the young master of a major corporation.

I rode on Saika's front while she took the rear as I do not wish Izumi to view it as a chance for me to take advantage of Saika. Nekoyasha and Miko were leaping and covering the distance well with the speed of Fujin above the ground.

When I reached the lake, I told Saika to drop me near the edge of the lake and I saw the exactly yellow dragon that Kaneko had drawn for us. I drew my Kodachi and told Saika to wait behind me and told her to inform Nekoyasha as well.

Suddenly from behind some rocks in front of me, I heard someone was hissing at me, in a sign for me to move away from the yellow dragon and a head popped out from the rocks while another one too popped out not far a distance from the former one.

Blonde, long-haired and wearing a skull helmet like a Viking, it was unmistakably named Zikyl, a girl aged 14 and while the other one should be named Zannera, a paternal twin. "Hey, Zannera... And you too Zikyl... What are you both doing here? This is Bull over here but where's s**t?" I hollered at them and was surprised to see both of them in Japan...!

They both looked at me in surprise as they never knew being recognised by a puny kid in weird clothing...!

They both walked over and I sheathed my Kodachi and spread out my hands to them. "Are you both here for the dragons? Where's your Hideous Zippleback 'Vomit and Burp'?"

Both looked at me in wonder and was asking me how I would be able to speak their language so well and recognises their rides as well... "Who the hell are you, kid? And how do you know us? And also knew about Vomit and Burp... Don't tell us you also knew about our middle and family names..."

"Well, you're Zannera Eugene Thorston while your dimwit brother is Zikyl LaVerne Thorston. Who would not recognise such colourful twin characters who were always headbutting and bicker with one another?"

"Hahaha, sis he knew about us. So what are we gonna do since we're here? By the way, what's your name kid?" Zannera asked me in a guffawed voice after he realised I knew them both.

"Ah... I'm just a fictional character like you. My name is Shinta, also known now as Harune Kenshin. This young lady here, her name is Saika and she is a demon slayer and right behind us in red with long silvery hair is another fictional character named Nekoyasha and his partner is Miko, a priestess. While the beast you see behind is Fujin, a two-tailed cat."

I explained as the twins sat down cross-legged near the lake and listened to me narrate about Japan and asked them how they ended here?

"Oh, we were passing by and were chasing Bull and s**t that belonged to us when we suddenly entered a weird Wind Tunnel and ended here. Errr...explain how the hell we gonna head back first."

=*=

"These terrible terrors, what are they doing right now? I knew their names and either one is male and female. The fact of a Wind Tunnel is unheard of by me... It seems you both had warped into a passage of time and place."

"Bull and s**t are good fish finders and they were able to fish about 30-50 kilograms of fish for 5 minutes every hour. It seems they were interested in this lake that spews hot gases and water every few minutes and once they saw it, they were practically swimming in it."

"That can't be explained on how the residents of Kitakata got their diarrhoea from." I thought to myself as I saw Bull and s**t frolicking in the warm waters of the geysers.

"Bull and Shit... Get over here...!" I commanded the dragons as I slowly stood up. Both yellow dragons waddled through the lake as Nekoyasha, Miko and Saika looked in bewilderment as I casually called the mystical dragons to me.

I held out my both palms and both sniffed at it and after a while swished their tails and locked my hands like a pair of cute and loveable puppies.

"Oii... Does this kid know how to tame dragons as well? This is amazing...! But we are now hungry as hell... Hey kid, do you have anything to eat or bring us some food or something?"

"Yeah... Why don't you come over to my place... But be careful though, our town is closely knitted together and unlike yours. So guide your dragons especially your Hideous zipper back not to accidentally cause any spontaneous combustion around my town though."

"Or you could leave your dragons at the outskirts of town and we could have afternoon tea as well."

"Sounds a great idea bro."

"Same here, sis... Would Vomit and Burp, s**t and Bull be safe at the outskirts of town? I mean yeah, they won't hurt humans like us but would other humans accept them?"

"The moment the people here sees these beasts... They would worship and bring offerings... Trust me. This is Japan and Asian country... Unlike Berk..."

"Yeah, food sis. I'm hungry..."

"Me too... Raaaawwwrrr..."

And both dim-witted twins began to headbutt each other to show their anticipation to foods and we, as hosts would represent and welcome our guests.

"Oh yeah... One more thing, when we speak English, what comes out and heard by them would be in Japanese. Likewise for us too. So, alright come along and follow us then...!"

I gestured to Nekoyasha and Miko that I knew these twins and their beasts and asked Saika to fly us back to the edge of town and let the dragons roam there first. As I straddle Fujin, I called s**t and Bull and they looked up and waddled straight at me. "Follow me s**t Bull... Come fly close to me...!"

Saika was surprised that I knew how to command these Mystical beings and when they saw the 2 headed 2 tailed Hideous Zippleback, they were in for a more surprise... "These Zippleback dragon does not breathe fire but emits a green gas while the other is a spark which could cause serious damage over a long distance. You could use some of the gas for an effective offensive weapon against a Youkai."

Saika shook her head and kept looking back as the twins rode their Zippleback and two yellow dragons were flying slightly above Fujin. When we touched down just outside the outermost District, a lot of residents were clamouring outside and were kneeling and bowing to these 3 Mystical beings in front of them.

"There's not much in this river, just go ahead to the other side of the larger river for more fishes." I patted s**t and Bull and they were practically prancing on the ground before they curled up their tail and rested under a huge tree. Vomit and Burp too were settling down near the Terrible Terrors and was told by their riders to stay put and don't go Vomiting and Burping at all.

"Hahahaha... Never knew s**t and Bull would listen to you, kid...! So tell me about this town of yours and what are you doing here in the first place." asked Zannera as she nudged Zikyl which lost his balance and fell near some horseshit...!!

"Awwww sis, come oooonnn... That's a load of crap there... And I hadn't taken a bath for a week...! Does this place has a nice bath? We've never been out of Berk for some time and there are 4 seasons there, and it's still the end of winter."
