Chapter 114 - Hunt The Reaper.

Everyone sits inside around the table eating.

''Good work today kids, eat up, you deserve it''. Seiko says. ''Especially you Togata, I'm impressed kid, you're getting stronger''.

''Yeah keep this up and you could probably beat Death''. Aira says still eating.

''Death!?''. Rin asks.

''Don't ask''. Okarun replies still eating.

''No not yet...''. Togata sighs. ''I cheated a bit this time, It's not like I used raw strength, I took advantage of the music notes''.

''Speaking of music notes, how did you know where you were gonna teleport? That was pretty cool''. Momo asks.

Togata chuckles slightly. ''Thanks''.

Turbo Granny stares at Togata condescendingly as Togata notices.

''You know if I were you I would think you want to compliment me''. Togata says with a smug smile.

''Psh like hell I will''. Turbo Granny replies. ''Unlike these bozos I ain't impressed with your cheap tricks, ain't nothin' special''.

''Huh? What do you mean Turbo Granny...Do you know how he did it?''. Okarun asks.

''Yeah! It was obvious as hell! I wouldn't expect you to know though''. Turbo Granny replies proudly.

''Oh yeah? Then explain it''. Aira says.

''Yeah and explain what he was saying earlier...Do, Re Mi or something''. Jiji asks.

''Easy...If you had a braincell to spare you would notices the music notes looked different, some sat on a line while others had a line running through or under em, one certain note leads to another and he used that to determine where to move and he was using that Do, Re, Mi shit to keep count.''. Turbo Granny explains.

''Really?''. Momo asks looking over at Togata.

''Spot on Turbo Granny, I'm impressed you picked that up''. Togata says.

''Of course I did''. Turbo Granny replies.

''Your ego knows no bounds cat''. Tick comments.

''Togata could you explain it fully then? I'm still confused''. Okarun asks.

''Sure. The different notes she was talking about were the Do, Re Mi notes I was saying earlier''. Togata explains.

''The solfege syllables''. Aira says.

Togata looks over at her impressed. ''You know them....Well I wouldn't expect anything less from a fellow musician''. Togata says with a smile.

''Of course I do''. Aira says proudly. ''So I'm guessing you teleport to the next scale, like touch a Do note and you'll teleport to a Re note right?''.

''Wow...Yeah exactly''. Togata replies. ''Rap is about flow, so it would make sense rap music has teleportation abilities, although we're lucky it did, that was probably the only way we would get past them''.

''Woah, nice one Aira I'm impressed you got that so quickly''. Momo says.

''Of course I did, I'm leader...But it's not like I realized it instantly like Togata did''. Aira says.

''The young master has always had incredible pattern recognition!''. Tick brags coming out of the kitchen.

''I guess but I'm impressed you figured it out on the spot, I guess you're a genius in your own league, you always find a way to surprise me''. Togata says.

''I've got even more ways to surprise you''. Aira replies trying to sound cool.

Everyone notices the two seem to be in their own world.

''Huh!?''. Momo asks.

''Nothing! That just came out wrong! I was just trying to sound cool!''. Aira blurts out.

''Oh yeah!? Why would ya wanna sound cool in front of Togata huh?''. Momo asks suspicious.

''Just shut it!''. Aira replies.

Suddenly Vamola takes the opportunity to steal both Aira and Momo's food.

''HEY!''. They both shout running after her as she runs off eating.

''That's it Vamola! Great form!''. Seiko shouts.

Togata just smiles as he looks over at Turbo Granny.

''And what's your problem?''. Turbo granny asks eating.

''I was just thinking...I've been meaning to ask you this for a while now but...Back there the portraits they knew who I was, not to mention the last time we fought then they seemed excited about killing me...There's more to my popularity with this reaper thing isn't there?''. Togata asks.

Turbo Granny is quiet as she keeps eating. ''Yeah they know ya? So?!''.

''It goes deeper than that doesn't it?''. Togata says inspecting her as he leans closer.

Everyone listens up, even Aira and Momo stop fighting for more food.

''I don't know what you're talking about''. Turbo Granny replies feigning ignorance.

''Oh really? I have a feeling you know more than you're letting on''. Togata says inching closer. ''Miss Seiko, how did you know about Death and the Grim Reaper?''.

''The what?''. Rin asks.

''I dunno. It's usually an old wives tale between us spirit mediums, never actually thought they existed till all this happened''. Seiko explains. ''What are you thinking kid?''.

''Just that I seem to be very famous to the spirit world...C'mon Turbo Granny...Spill''. Togata says.

''I always knew we couldn't trust this cat!''. Tick shouts.

''Turbo Granny you're acting all suspicious, don't tell me he's right?''. Momo says.

''Like I said, I don't know what you idiots r' talking about''. Turbo Granny replies.

''Turbo Granny...''. Seiko warns sternly.

''Ugh, well fine! Lean in closer we don't know who could be listening...And that new kid best run off or she'll get herself into some hot water''. Turbo Granny says coming closer to the table.

''Rin can hear whatever you have to say!''. Mai shouts.

Everyone leans in.

''Huh? What information are you about to reveal oh mystical cat''. Kinta says leaning in.

''Alright everyone listen up...The blue kid here is the new reaper, we know he ain't the first one, and the reason he's so popular over in the spirit world is cause we deal with em all the time...''. Turbo Granny whispers.

''Huh!?''. Everyone gasps.

''Yeah quiet down!...Anyway you think you're the first reaper to go around murdering spirits? Hell no...We've dealt with your kind before, we're pretty much used to it, and we don't like it when ol' boney goes around making new one's''. Turbo Granny says.

''Wait...So you've fought a reaper before!? How strong were they!?''. Okarun asks.

''Can you compare me?''. Togata asks.

''Hell no! I'm not stupid enough to have even tried to come across one...But all you need to know is the strongest of the strong spirit's like me don't like em, and it won't be the first time a reaper's been killed by a spirit, so they're like a status symbol at this point, kill one and other spirits know not to mess with ya''. Turbo Granny explains.

''So strong spirits hate them because they want to finally send them out of this world...Which of course they don't like...''. Seiko says.

''Strong spirits...Like Reiko Kashima?''. Togata asks.

''Yeah...Exactly like her...Psh. Heck spirit's like her probably got a few reaper heads on their wall''. Turbo Granny says.

''Huh!?''. Everyone gaps.

''Oh my Oh my! The young master is in trouble then!''. Tick shouts.

''Yeah the kid's in some deep shit, better get stronger not just to free yourself from this dumb contract but if you stay reaper, and word get's out, you could probably be looking at hundreds of spirits hunting after ya. Heck even I've been looking to get stronger so even I could get myself a reaper head or two''. Turbo Granny says.

''So that's why you stayed quiet about all this''. Togata deduces.

''Hell yeah it's why! I was thinking when you get a bit more famous and you've taken down a few big names I would swoop in and stab ya in the middle of the night or something''. Turbo Granny says bursting into laughter.

Everyone looks at her worried for Togata.

''How dare you threaten the young master! I see! This is why you wanted to know where we lived!''. Tick shouts.

''Well partly, I actually wanted to know cause I thought I'd raid ya fridge on of these days''. Turbo Granny says.

''Psh like you could kill Togata''. Aira says.

''Togata is too strong for you Granny''. Vamola says.

Togata smiles hearing that.

''Oh c'mon I'm just kidding. You don't actually think I underestimate you enough to let me stab ya in the middle of the night? At least not with blue ghost over here always flying around, I was actually thinking I'd watch ya and study how you fight then wait till I get my powers back from this twerp!''. Turbo Granny explains.

''Hey!''. Okarun shouts in retaliation.

''After that I'd ambush ya and then I'd kill ya''. Turbo Granny says.

Togata doesn't react as he just smiles at her.

''Togata? Are you mad?''. Momo asks.

''No, not at all''. Togata says still with a smile.

''Well ya look like you're gonna take a shit''. Turbo Granny says bursting into laughter.

''No I'd just like you to know that before I'd let you kill me...''. Togata says as he leans in. ''I'd kill you first''.

Turbo Granny actually gulps in fear. ''I'd like yo see you try!''.

''Oh would you now?''. Togata says as picks her up and throws her out of the house, locking the door behind him as he heads back inside to eat.

Turbo Granny shouts and bangs on the door. ''Let me in ya bastard! I'll kill ya! I'll murderize ya!''.

Togata sits quietly like nothing happened. ''Sorry about that. She's annoying to be around but even more annoying to live with...''.

''I think you did just fine young master''. Tick says proudly.

Turbo Granny bangs at the window watching them eat from inside. ''I'll kill everyone that doesn't let me in! I swear it!''.

Jiji walks over as he makes himself look like an axolotl and looks to Togata for approval. ''WUMBO?''.

''Don't open it''. Togata replies.

''WUMBY WUMBO!''. Jiji shouts right at Turbo Granny.

''AHHH I'LL MURDER YA! YOU STUPID BASTARD!''. Turbo Granny says banging on the window even harder.

'''WUMBO!''. Jiji shouts.

''Good riddance''. Aira says sitting down.
