"Who is Susu about to take me to meet? I
Have a feeling it's a bun I've encountered a few times before. But, it's not the
Ones from the church. I'm certain it's none of them. Reaper Hare? It's highly unlikely that
It's them. For
Starters, I don't think they have anything to
Say to me. They seem pretty content with their divine name. Or, do they?
Uh, maybe not? Maybe I'm wrong on that front in
Some way. Though, I suppose I don't really know them all that well to begin with.
Uh, I guess I can also rule out
Good Vibes Bunny. I also didn't really speak to them all that much either. So, I'll rule her
Out, too. I guess. Maybe I shouldn't think about Psychic Bunny, either.
I'm not saying that these buns aren't completely off the table, but, maybe they're
Not the ones who Susu is leading me to. I
Guess it could be anyone. Maybe it's the winner of last year's Mystic Carrot Bowl
That I'm going to be taken to?
Or, not? Come to think of it, where does she live?
That really isn't my business, I guess.
At the end of the day, I suppose it's best to
Keep trying to hazard a guess. Though, I guess I won't
End up landing on the right clue if I keep guessing.
Maybe it's for the best I just don't think of who it might
End up being. I feel like, deep down, I know what
The answer probably is, but I just don't know how to get there in the end.
Oh, well, I guess I
Might need to think a little harder about all this. Or, do I?
Eh, I guess the answer might be in plain sight. Oh! What if it's
Evil Bunny? Haha, no, why would it be
Them? Come on, I'm pretty sure
They live by their divine name.
However, honestly, it's kind of strange. Why would the gods name
A bun Evil Bunny? Just what did
They do to deserve it? Were they a bully their entire life?
I don't know, I don't think so. I feel like if they were, they'd have been given a much
Different divine name. So, why can't I shake
Off this feeling there's something pretty off about it? I have
No idea. Maybe something happened, and
They got a redo? I don't
Know. Honestly, I feel like Evil Bunny was
Not always their divine name.
Or, maybe it always
Was and I'm overthinking this. Should I ask
Susu? No, maybe I shouldn't. I guess it would be better to just find out who she's taking me to.
Hmm, if it is
Evil Bunny, I probably
Shouldn't be
All that surprised.
I still have to wonder, though. What did they
Do to get a divine name like that?
I really don't
Know. I'm starting to wonder
Now, just how many buns got the short end
Of the stick during their divine naming ceremony? I've met quite a lot of buns
Who are just like me since
The day I received my divine name. I now
Have to wonder further, Strix and Deigr, what about them? Are they fine with their divine names?
Even I don't know.
Maybe I really should look into the history of the godbuns after all.
What should I look into first?
Hmm, maybe I should look at the history behind the divine naming ceremony.
I don't know, I'm pretty sure that's been a thing since the dawn of the
Creation of Lagozora.
Hmm, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to look into all that,
Maybe I should just look into
Everything there is to research.
At the end of the day, there has to be another way to get redo! There should be
No need to fight the godbuns!
Simply put, there has to be some other way! And,
I'll find it, even if I have
To dig into the
Secrets of
All twenty godbuns to get there! There had
Better be some other way to go about this!
Unless I have
No other choice but to fight them,
I need to strive for another way!
Maybe along the way, I can find a way to have my job ceremony redone, too! Yes,
Everything will work out in
The end! I have to strive for the stars!
I can do this, I can find a way to do without having to fight.
No matter what, there
Has to be a way!
Ehe, that's
Right, for every problems, there's many other solutions! I'm
Very certain that there
Is at least one other way!
Let's do our best,
Let's consider the other options here! If there
Are any, at least, I hope so. I'm not
Going to have to fight the gods, am I?
Even I know that'll be end up being a disaster! What if I fight them, lose and get a
Ridiculous new divine name out of
It?! Something like Disaster Bunny?! No, no, I can't let that happen! I'm
Going to find another way! I
Have to! I just have
To! I won't let the
Gods make me their play thing any longer!
Ugh, anyway.
Even if it does end up being Evil Bunny, I have this
Sneaking
Suspicion that I'm about to learn something
I wish I didn't. But, it's fine, I guess,
Let's just take a moment to
Listen to them if they are the bun
Susu is leading me to.
Okay, time to prepare myself, we're going to land in three, two,
One. Huh? What's that
Noise? Is it just me, or is
Frosaro really busy?
I don't know what's going on, but I
Need to prepare myself. Time to go
Down now.
One, two, three.
Ugh, what is
That noise? I can
Hardly stand it!
Everything is so
Ridiculous loud here?
Eck, come on, Siorc,
Get it together! It's fine, it'll be
Okay. I need to just find the bun who Susu wants me to talk to, and it'll all
End on a good note!
So, let's go!"
Reaching Frosaro in the blink of an eye, the vampa gazed at the sky. Is it just his imagination, or it super warm here today? Are the godbuns up to something? No, no, come on, Siorc, it's close to summer now! Surely, that's all it was. Susu reaching for his hand, questions had started to race through his head.
Which bun is Susu about to take him to? Is it who he thinks they are? He guesses he's about to find out. Heading for the church, three set of faces, the vampa prepared himself. Are these the buns she wanted to take him to? He did not know why, but he could sense they weren't the ones at all. Did she make a mistake?
"What do you want, Susu?" Reaper Hare asked. "Is there someone you need me to eliminate?" They raised their claws in the air as they asked such. "I thought you said you had matters to attend to until the beginning of the eighth month. You'd better have something good to tell us."
Claws shining, the bun's heart skipped a beat. Reaper Hare means business, that's for sure. One wrong move, and someone is going to be sliced to bits! Can they throw that energy at vermin on his farm, please? Thanks. Perhaps he should hire them to deal with some of that. No, no, there's no way they'd take a job like that, forget he even thought that.
"Have you seen you know who?" Susu asked. She then whispered something completely unheard.
"Who?" Holy Bunny asked.
"Are you deaf? She said you know who," Reaper Hare asked, groaning. "Unless you need me to slice the hair out of your ears? I'll happily oblige if that's what you desire!"
"I'm good. So, who?" He sighed.
"Ah, yes, you know who," Psychic Bunny said, third eye glowing. "You know who's Over Yonder if you know what I mean."
Susu bowing her head, the bun rose an eyebrow. Who's this you know who they're all talking about? Why does he feel like he's intruding on some secret meeting that he wasn't supposed to be invited to? Maybe he should excuse himself. Hopping behind Adventure Bunny in silence, another set of thoughts flowed through him.
You know who, who could it have been? Was it the buns that resided behind the waterfall? No, probably not. There's no way it could have been any of them. Plopped into a boat, the vampa stared off into space. Just how far is Susu taking him? He needs to prepare himself for anything. Vessel racing down the way, another name soon popped into his head.
The You Know Who, could it have been? No, there's no way it would be them, why would it be? Blond hair dancing through his mind one more time, he kept his eyes closed for a moment. Is he about to see who he thinks he's about to meet? End of the river reached, a strange cave had soon been upon him.
Low hanging ceiling about ready to poke his ears out, the vampa studied the area. This place, it feels so familiar, why is that? Has he been here before? No, of course he hasn't. Strange looking machines looking about ready to explode, the bun gulped. Any second now, and he's going to be a pile of charcoal.
Susu soon bowing on the ground, the farmer tilted his head. Why is she doing that? Is there a secret twenty first godbun? No, no, of course not! Why would that be the case? Doing such gesture in tandem, he prepared himself. Hello, whoever he's about to bear witness to, please tell him their secrets.
"Your evilness, we have arrived," Susu said, bowing. "If you'd please, come out of your lair so we can become your little servants!"
Oh.
He sees now.
It all makes sense.
Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.
"That's right, I, Evil Bunny, will stomp on you with my spiky cleavers of evil and make you my slave forever!" Evil Bunny cried, laughing. They then sighed. "Oh, forget it! I know why you're here. Let me guess, you brought this guy here 'cause you want to know the truth about my divine name, don't you?"
"Wow, uh, I'm kind of surprised you're not being a bit more uh," Susu said pausing, "Dramatic right now."
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Evil Bunny cried. "Ahem, spill! Why are you here?"
[I've been wondering, Naofa about your divine name. Could you tell me more about it, please?] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers.
"Oh, let me guess, you're planning on fighting the gods, aren't you?" Evil Bunny asked.
[Uh, maybe. I don't know. If there's another way to get my divine naming ceremony redone, I'd like to know!] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers. But, a laugh had come his way.
"Listen, you scum on the bottom of my shoe! The only way to get that redo you oh so wish for is to fight the gods and beat them to a bloody pulp!" Evil Bunny cried. Tears them streamed down their face. "Look! Fine, you wanna know the truth? Fine, I'll tell you! When it was my turn to get a divine name those sorry excuses for the gods gave me the name Klutz Bunny, Klutz Bunny! And, I wasn't about to accept that fate! Do I look like a Klutz to you?!"
[No?] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers.
"See? You get it! I spent every single day of my life helping people out, every single day of my life! And what thanks do I get out of it? They gave me that stupid epithet of Klutz! I was supposed to be Good Samaritan Bunny! Good Samaritan Bunny! I didn't work one hundred years to be called a klutz!" Evil Bunny shouted, laughing. "So, you know what I did? I declared war! But, no! I couldn't even beat the godbuns if I tried! So, you know what they did to me?! I'll let you try and guess!"
Cave growing silent, a realization washed over the bun. Wait, hold on a second, had Evil Bunny? No, why would the godbuns so do something like that? Tears streaming down his face, the world around him burned. Ah, he sees now. Was this their punishment? Or, was their first divine name the true mistake? He doesn't know anymore. Looking into their eyes, he turned the knobs in a swift manner.
[I'm so sorry, Naofa. I mean, Evbu.] A crackling voice said through the Talkmaster B's speakers.
"Tch, you already know the truth, so whatever, call me Naofa, I guess!" Evil Bunny cried. "Let me guess, you wanna meet more unfortunate souls like me? Fine! We'll go to Aquamataly tomorrow! But, I'm warning you, I, Evil Bunny will make this the worst trip you've ever seen!"
Nodding, the bun exited the lair. Susu bringing him back to their abode for the time being, the vampa walked around in a circle. If he fights the gods and loses, what's going to happen to him? He doesn't know anymore. Plopping down onto the guest bed, one last set of thoughts threw themselves down with him into the land of dreams.
Is he going to have to fight the gods in the end after all?
No, there has to be another way.
