Chapter 4 - Lechop The Patroller

"I, LECHOP, WILL ELIMINATE ALL THE TRAITORS!!!" Someone shouted outside the cottage at six in the morning.

Teku was in the kitchen, making breakfast, while Takahashi was raging out and banging all the furniture in the main room.

Teku came rushing straight from the kitchen, "Did your brain disconnect? What are you doing!?"

Takahashi started crying, "BECAUSE SOME GUY NAMED LECHOP DIDN'T LET MY SWEET DREAMS FINISH! I WAS DREAMING OF A SO CUTE FANTASY ROMANCE!!!" He started banging the desk again.

Teku grabbed Takahashi's arm and shoved him in the kitchen, "Cut the carrots, or maybe pretend to do so. I'll handle the rest," and slammed the kitchen door shut.

Teku opened the gate to see a large beefy man with a muscular body, saying, "It's no good for those traitors hiding in the kingdom. Well, Mr. Teku, what are you up to these days?"

"Nothing. My distant relative from the other side of the kingdom just came to my place yesterday. Kento, he is. It's so good to have a well-mannered and sincere boy near you every time." He gave the greatest sigh ever, "Not like my children, who were traitors who escaped the kingdom. Well, what about you, Lechop? What are you up to these days?"

Lechop adjusted his moustache and spoke up, "As usual, working from five in the morning to four in the morning of the next day. One hour of sleep is enough for wild people like me. You just need some spice. And I found a little kid who was actually a spy, so I took him to the palace and executed him. I don't really suspect you, but the statement 'My distant cousin came to my place' makes me officially check your house."

"Sure." Teku wide opened the gate, and the fat Lechop got in and started opening chests and sniffing everything. 

Sniff Sniff...

Teku started sweating, "Well, Lechop, why do you sniff everything?"

Lechop glanced towards Teku, "Because my nose is the greatest of the greats. It can sense everything, even the fact that your distant relative is now in the kitchen and IS CUTTING VEGETABLES!" He smashed open the door and jumped inside the kitchen. Takahashi looked towards him, "AAA! WHO ARE YOU! DO GIANT SPIDERS RESIDE IN THIS PLANET!?"

Lechop suspiciously looked towards Takahashi, "Reside on this planet? What do you mean?"

Takahashi looked back towards the carrot he was failing to cut and started sweating heavily.

Teku gave a bad look towards Takahashi from the back, "He loves to overemphasize things. It's usual for a person who spent most of his life on the eastern side of the kingdom, never seeing the dark woods or dangerous demons lurking out there."

Lechop kept his giant hand on Takahashi's shoulder, "Then, suspicious kid, what are you?"

Takahashi looked towards Lechop in confusion, "I'm a human."

Lechop started sweating, "Um, sorry, I just, Um. I wanted to ask, uh, what's your name? I didn't become flashy this time..."

"I'm Takahashi. Taka for Tacos and Hashi for a pillar."

Lechop sat down on a nearby chair. "Well, that reasoning looks pretty interesting. Tacos Pillar? Whatever. I think you might go with Takahashi, but Mr. Teku said you're Kento. So from now on, you're Kento only."

"O-kay?"

Teku asked, "Well, Lechop, I have to go to the farm as usual, and Kentois is coming with me. So could you please look up my buffalo and the rats? Both of them like to run away and eat all the wheat I store on Tuesdays for some reason."

Lechop got up from the chair, "Well, Mr. Teku, my duty is patrolling, but no worries! My nose can detect everything!"

Teku held Takahashi/Kento's wrist and dragged him out of the kitchen, "Let's go to the farms, cutting vegetables isn't work for you."

Lechop looked towards the kitchen and thought, "Well, I'm also going to my work. That kid was really suspicious; those clothes looked so cool. Wait..."
