chapter 5: cows and slime ( click for chapter 1 )

<<last chapter | next chapter>>

Summary: you meet a cow and go to the mines

-----

Ever since Bruno gifted you your fishing pole you've been fishing almost anywhere, any chance you could. It required a lot of patience but you were actually getting the hang of it and had even caught a few things. You also found it very relaxing, spending most of it waiting and staring off into the distance.

Today, your main focus was fishing at a pond you had seen on the map. Who knew what you could catch there, but first you were making a stop to a place nearby.

On your map, not too far from the pond, was a spot labeled Reimi's Farm. One of the multiple buildings in town you still haven’t been to yet.

When you get there you immediately notice a cabin a distance away. That was strange. There's no marking for it on the map. Well, guess you have two places to visit now!

You head up to the ranch and a cow greets you with a ‘moo’ as you walk past the gated area attached to the ranch. It ambles towards you. You didn't know cows were the curious type or maybe this one was just an anomaly?

"Hi..."

The cow moos again in response.

I’m a cow whisper.

"Hello!"

You whip your head to the side. Why do people keep sneaking up on you?

An older woman with wavy pink hair stood next to you. "Looks like you and Moodonna are getting along well.”

You giggle a little at the name before you can stop it. "Sorry. I think so? I didn't know cows could be curious."

"It's actually pretty common. They can also be quite friendly too! I'm Reimi by the way and you're ___ . " She smiles and holds a hand out for you to shake. "Nice to meet you."

You grab her warm, calloused hand and return a smile of your own. "I was actually coming over to introduce myself since I was walking to the pond, but I've been beaten again--first Bruno, now you!"

Reimi gives you a curious look.

"Ah, nevermind," you say.

Reimi looks as she’s considering something before she speaks again. "Have you ever wanted a chicken farmer?"

You pause from the sudden question. "What? Like to eat?"

She laughs. “No hun, for eggs!”

"Oh!” You feel your face heating up. “No, sorry, I never really thought about that?"

"Well it would be very profitable for you as a farmer if you did get some. Along with some cows... Maybe some ducks too!"

“D-Ducks?”

She did have a point but you'd never taken care of a house pet, let alone a farm animal.

"I don't really know how to though."

"No worries ___, I'll be there to help you out," she states. “Whenever you're ready just visit me.”

"Uh okay, sure!"

After saying bye to Reimi you head to your next stop--the cabin.

You knock on the door and wait a moment but nothing happens. Maybe whoever lived there was out at the moment? You’d just have to visit another day.

-----

A few days ago you spent some time at Trattoria Trussardi with ‘The Bucci Gang’, as you fondly referred to them--of course they didn’t know that.

“I can't believe Speedwagon is allowing the removal of that boulder,” Abbacchio grumbled.

"The one closing the mines?" Fugo asked.

Narancia perked up at this, “REALLY!?”

Abba, sighed at the boy's tone. "That place is dangerous and you three know it!"

"We never actually go down though! It's fine," Mista waved him off.

"Why would you three even go into the mine cave?" Giorno asks, curious.

Fugo rests his head against his hand. "Narancia liked the echoes of his music there and we just keep him company."

"Oh man I can’t wait to go back there! It’s been too long," Narancia smiled, completely ignoring Abbachio's warning look.

You listened quietly, intrigued.

After wandering around town, you finally find the mines. Abbacchio could not find out about this ever.

You walk through the wooden entrance of the mine and into an opened area of dirt, scattered with rocks and boulders. The lanterns perched on the walls light the space in a dim glow.

What you aren’t expecting to see but aren’t exactly surprised by are Narnicia, Mista, and Fugo sitting among the rocks.

“Guys you shouldn’t be here! Abbacchio is gonna get all huffy if he finds out.”

“Pshh, that's not going to happen cause he’s not going to! And even if he does he most likely won’t do anything….maybe,” Narancia says.

“You should be more worried about yourself. Why are you even here?” Fugo asks.

“Okay calm down there sassy pants.” You cross your arms, “I’m just passing by….”

Mista smirks, “You’re such a shit liar.”

You pout, “....JUST LEAVE!”

All three of them laugh but to your surprise move to leave the mines.

“Wow y’all are actually listening to me?” You hadn’t known them for that long but in the last two weeks you realized pretty quickly that they did whatever they felt like unless Bruno was involved.

“We were about to leave anyway,” Narancia says.

“He already went through two albums of his annoying music,” Mista adds.

Narancia huffs at him in offense. “It’s not annoying!”

“Don’t do anything stupid,” Fugo warns.

And with that they exit the mines.

You sigh and walk further into the mine. There's a ladder descending into a hole near a pile of rocks. You also notice the elevator at the back.

After waiting for a while, you realize that pressing the up button does nothing.

Part of you wants to go down the ladder and see what's waiting at the end but you don't know how sturdy it is. You're already taking a risk being in a mine that's entrance apparently collapsed at one point.

Reluctantly, you decide to just head back before something bad happens and Abbacchio chews you out for it, but as you walk towards the exit the elevator behind you pings and you turn to see a tall brunette exit it.

"Hey!" You raise your brow when he points a finger at you. "What are you doing?" He squints, “...and who are you?"

You freeze under his skeptical look. "...I’m ___."

"I don't know any ___."

You rush to explain yourself. "The new farmer who moved in!" For some reason you felt nervous, like a child caught eating sugar.

The man continues to stare you down before realization crosses his face.

"Oh!" He adjusts his scarf, "It's great that you're here then cause I totally forgot to deliver that letter Lisa Lisa asked me to!" He scratches at the back of his neck.

"...Huh?" This had to be your strangest interaction in town so far.

"I’m Joseph by the way. Joseph Joestar."

"I’m ___."

"You already said that."

"Oh yea."

"I swear not this dense! Usually just a regular level of dense." You fiddle with your overall straps.

"Oh man, I was worried you’d be a stick in the mud like Caesar but you seem chill! You should totally join our guild."

You blink. "What guild?"

"The adventure guild obviously! You haven't heard of us? Haven't you've been here for over a week?" He continues without waiting for answers. "Anyways, it's a guild where we go into the mines to kick the shit out of monsters and pretty much keep them from over running the mines. It’s been awhile since we’ve actually gotten to do that though..."

You gawk. "Monsters?" This man couldn't be serious. “There're monsters in these mines? T-Those exist?"

“Yep and they're super scary!”

You swallow nervously. Why would you want to be involved with something like that?

"Kidding! They're mainly cute slimes, pesky bugs and bats until you get deeper. Then they start to get really weird."

"You're making me seem super old! I'm only like 26 so just call me Joseph. The mines really aren't that bad though." The way this man switches from one topic to another would take some getting used to.

He reaches to his side where a sword hangs, unhooks it and holds it out to you.

You make no move to grab it.

"Why don't you try the first couple of levels? I promise you probably won't die. The elevator will bring you back up whenever you get tired."

He pushes the sword into your hand. "When you're done just visit the building next door. I’ll leave it open for ya!"

After that he leaves.

Were you supposed to go right now? You stare at the rusty sword in your hand.

Well you wouldn't even be in Pelican Town unless you didn't take risks. (And you actually wanted to go down, you just had an excuse to do so now.)

You ignore the logical side of your brain saying that that wasn't comparable to going down into a monster filled mine and head towards the ladder.

This is really dumb.

-----

The gelatinous mass of a pissed off giant, green slime lunges at you. You barely manage to get into a defensive position and block its hit towards your body.

Your arms shake as you push your weight forward and shove the green blob backwards with the side of your sword. Blood runs from the fresh cut you just gained across your palm due to your careless grip on the sword’s blade. Ignoring the sting, you quickly raise the sword knowing the slime will lunge again.

When it rushes at you, you bring your weapon down as hard as you can. It was slightly late but fortunately, the sword’s blade easily slices through its soft, green body and manages to catch it in the center. The blob’s movement abruptly stops as it struggles to keep its consistency.

A second passes before green slime rushes past your whole body. You accidentally get some in your mouth.

After the slime starts to settle, you cough and wipe at your face, trying to get it away from your eyes.

‘Cute slimes’ my ass.

While you grumble about Joseph's lack of warning, you try to get the slime off your hands. This distracts you enough that a small slime manages to jump onto your leg. You swiftly shake it off then realize small slimes are forming from the goo around your boots.

After you handle them, you high tail it to the elevator door before more crap tries to attack you.

You’ve definitely had enough for today.

-----

You enter the wooden building covered in dirt and drying goop--you were taking a long shower after this.

"OH MY GOD YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!?" Joseph's loud accented voice makes you jump.

He's sitting near the counter. A lady behind it with long brunette hair and sunglasses looks at you. Why she was wearing sunglasses indoors, you didn’t know but they looked good on her.

"Uhhh yea… Wasn’t that the point?"

"I didn't think you’d actually go down there you mad lad!"

You open your mouth but no words come out in your confusion.

"Jesus Christ Joseph can you shut the hell up!" A voice comes from a room in the back.

A blonde man with a colorful headband comes through the door. "Why are you being so loud for anyway-" His eyes land on your slime covered form.

He immediately turns towards the brunette man. "What did you do?" He says, irritation clear in his voice.

"What! You're already blaming me!?"

"Yes because only you would cause something like this!”

You stare at the two bickering worried that they might actually get physical.

"Boys."

They both quiet down immediately.

You brows raise in surprise.

The lady stands up from the chair looking directly at you. Her smooth, authoritative voice continues. "Looks like you've got what it takes to fight. Even though I told Joseph to keep watch--"

You see Caesar shoot said man a glare. Joseph only smiles and looks away.

"--you handled it on your own though and right away at that."

She removes her glasses from her face. "Are you ready to start your initiation?"
