Apocalypse Regression's
Not a Knight, not a Hero
On the carriage, Darin who saw the figure of Ark disappear opened his mouth.
"Do you two know what the Chairman means?"
"Errrr ... show off?" yonas hesitated.
"Of course not, Stupid!"
Darin massaged his forehead with a tired expression. Looking at his two comrades, he then said.
"The chief just checks. Look at the enemies we have to face and make sure we're okay."
"That surprised me."
Yonas expression changed. Not only him, but Vadim was also shocked. Didn't expect that the cold chief was still thinking about them.
"Don't be happy yet."
Darin instantly makes his two friends eliminate the funny fantasies in their heads.
"From what the Chairman did, I can understand a little.
The chairman has two types of assessment. So I hope you guys understand that too."
"You mean?"
"From what I've seen, the chairman assesses people from two conditions.
First, whether the person is a friend or an opponent. Last ... Whether or not that person is useful!"
Darin looked at Yonas and Vadim seriously.
"We can pass the test, so he thinks of us as partners. We kept training and were able to reach the "standard" he wanted, so we stayed. That's why the Chief cares about us.
If we fall into the category of useless, I'm not surprised if the Chairman will throw away .. make us die in battle."
"You're too much, aren't you, Darin?"
"No!" Darin replied firmly. "I'm saying this because I care about you. Do you guys understand?"
"If the chairman is like that, do you have plans for—"
"Stop that stupid thought, Yonas. We live well in the Sword of Sufferings. Even if we can see how the Chairman acts, we don't have to pretend to be smart.
Escape, defect, or attempt a coup. I'm sure the Chairman has taken all that into account. Even ...
Somehow I'm sure, the man even hid a trick where even if the entire Sword of Sufferings members defected and tried to kill him.
As the Chief said at the beginning. We just need to have a mutually beneficial relationship. Of course, we ourselves have to add two points to keep us safe.
First, don't think of anything stupid and stay faithful.
Last ... don't get left behind and end up thrown away."
The hands of the three of them clenched tightly. Although they hate to admit it, they really need Ark.
The reason why they want to run away is not because they don't like it. The three of them were just afraid of being left behind and ended up being wasted. But because they have decided to stay ...
They had to keep running after the man's back!
Not letting it go, let alone disappear!
***
In a room on the first floor.
"Why are you doing such a stupid thing, Nami?!"
Seeing the figure of a beautiful woman covered in wounds standing up to protect her, Saito felt her chest tight.
Clearly, even if not to continue fighting, Nami could go to a safe place to take shelter. But the woman chose to stay and protect him. This made Saito confused.
"You've sworn not to raise your sword and wound it since Uncle Kaito died, haven't you?
You don't want to cause trouble for anyone else. I support your decision, Saito. Therefore ...
Let me protect you."
Nami whose body was covered with wounds turned towards Saito. She smiled charmingly without a hint of regret on her face.
The crows are not just raging outside. They even broke windows and messed up inside the building. Of course, they are easier to deal with because they are in a narrower room so that the birds cannot fly freely.
Their number is also limited, which is why inside the building is safer. Only fools ran outside and tried to escape in panic.
"Let's get out of here, Saito."
Successfully killing two crows with his own efforts, Nami immediately invites Saito away. However, injured and tired, the woman suddenly stumbled.
Before collapsing, Saito held onto it. Seeing the smile on Nami's face, the man felt as if he had no face. He nodded while muttering.
"I'm sorry, Nami."
Gazing right into Saito's eyes and seeing the change in the man, Nami smiled wider.
"After all these years, you finally came to your senses, Stupid~"
"Sorry," Saito said with a regretful expression.
"Stop apologizing like that!"
"..."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Saito helps Nami to walk. They come out of the room to go to a hiding place known to Nami.
But when the two of them came out of the room, both of them immediately stared.
"After the countdown ... you must run immediately, Saito."
Not only did he not retreat, Saito who heard Nami's words immediately carried the woman like a princess and turned to run away.
Seeing them running away, the creature began to chase cautiously.
By the time the creature advanced, its figure was finally revealed.
He was one of the animals that appeared in Africa. Creatures that are so hated are even considered as pests. They like to hunt in groups. They rob shops, steal food, eat garbage, and sometimes kill people.
Animals that fight lions without fear, can sometimes even defeat them with a number of groups.
Yes ... Hyenas.
A hyena that is twice the size of the original. If a large hyena usually has a height of one meter and a length of two meters, this creature has a height of more than two meters. It was almost four and a half meters long!
"Run! Find a narrow room so he can't get in!"
At the moment an idea popped into Saito's head, it instantly disappeared when he saw another hyena figure intercepting him from the front.
Hyenas are intelligent animals. Not only intelligent, but also famous for their greed, cunning, and cruelty!
"Down me. I'll try to hold them off so you can—"
"Shut up!" said Saito firmly.
At that moment, a loud giggling sound was heard. This immediately made Saito and Nami surprised.
The sound of hyenas that resembled demonic laughter echoed in the hallway, even the entire building.
Plus their appearance was more terrifying than the original, the two people became even more desperate!
Saito bit his lips until it bled, feeling angry and desperate when humbled by the two hyena figures.
The man immediately ran to the only remaining path, and finally exited the building.
Exiting the building and reaching the backyard, Saito pegged in his place. Because there .... there's one more hyena that seems to have been waiting.
Two hyenas had previously chased out of the building. The three beasts surrounded Saito and Nami while making giggling sounds. It was as if it was mocking and laughing at the two foolish humans in front of them.
"Saito—"
"sorry. Because of me, you have to end up like this."
"I have no regrets at all!"
Nami holds Saito's face and kisses him. The two looked at each other. It seemed that they finally understood each other's feelings, but also regretted being late in admitting them.
"It's romantic."
An indifferent voice sounded. The two people were shocked then looked towards the source of the voice.
Somehow since when, there was a black-robed and masked figure sitting on the second-floor window while looking at them.
Looking at him, a surprised and grateful expression appeared on Saito's face.
"Campaign ... You ..." Feeling touched, she wiped away the tears. "Thank you!"
Hearing Saito's words, Ark tilted his head.
"Huh? Why?"
"Eh???"
Ark's question left the two people shocked. Suddenly they both felt a bad feeling.
"Come to save you? Pfft ..."
Ark covered his face (mask) with his hands. His body trembled slightly as it held back a laugh.
"Who do you think you are?"
"..."
Ark's question left Saito and Nami speechless. Their bodies trembled with anger and despair.
"Isn't this interesting? I mean ...
Watching you fight and fight. Guarding each other with the power of love? Pfft ..."
No longer able to help laughing, Ark looked up while laughing loosely.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"
The sound of laughter like the devil echoed. Cold eyes stared at Saito from behind his mask.
"DON'T YOU THINK YOU'D BE THE MAIN CHARACTER? A GREAT FIGURE WHEN THIS CHAOTIC WORLD ARRIVED?
THEN LET'S SEE!"
Ark laughed cruelly again.
"LET'S SEE IF YOU REALLY SHOW UP AS A HERO OR VICE VERSA ...
BECAUSE OF ARROGANCE AND STUPIDITY ..."
Ark opened both his arms wide.
"YOU WILL ONCE AGAIN LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE!"
