Blizt 'N Demon

Chapter 33 - Request

A long explanation from Kevin made Teddy speechless. While Rafa started to reopen his mouth with a cynical smile, "What empty tooth did you say that to him? How could such a thing happen? You moved from your house to a forest and back again? Are you delirious?"

"i'm serious. That could have happened. You saw it for yourself yesterday. The stranger who attacked us, he made my hand cut off with just a slash of his long-range hand. He does not hold any sharp weapons. You think, after seeing that, my words are still not true?" reply Kevin while shaking.

Rafa was made silent after hearing the words of his friend. He hated to admit it was real, but that was how it was. Even if Teddy doesn't believe what happened, he tells him. Because the incident was difficult to accept common sense.

"How is the child's character?"

Seeing Teddy believe his story made Kevin feel a little happy, "He's a 10-year-old. His eyes are red. He always showed an expressionless face."

Teddy nodded. He stood up from his seat and stared at the two, "Do any of you have a picture of him?"

Rafa looked a little hesitant, "I... Actually have it."

"Good! I wanna see. Hearing your story, I became interested in him, "Teddy seemed excited when discussing this. Because in Kevin's story, the world of the devil is mentioned. This made him curious. He had always thought there was another world where demons who sometimes entered the human world lived. Then the demons enter the human world through the gap of the world or the dimensional gap between his world and that world.

"I had it, but my phone accidentally fell in the bathroom and died" Rafa said limply.

Teddy patted his face while sighing. It seems he should see it directly. He glanced at Rafa between his fingers, "Rafa, what keeps you defending him? As long as you hear your argument, you're still keeping Leon in your house. What's your excuse?"

Kevin looked at Rafa. He is upset that his friend continues to defend Leon. The child is not who and they have no relationship.

Rafa was silent for a moment while looking at Teddy. After thinking about the answer well, he opened his voice, "I've been with him for a few weeks, during which time we have the same memories. When described, he was like a little brother to me. So I don't want him to leave the house.

I almost lost it then. He left without saying anything. I'm afraid something bad happened to her. From then on I realized, I felt a bond with him. I don't want her to leave and I don't want to lose her."

"Even if his presence invites danger? As it has now happened."

Rafa was silent when he heard Teddy's words. Last night was a terrible event for him. It seems like it could disappear at any moment. His limbs could have been cut off without him noticing. It was such a horrible feeling that he had ever experienced.

"I'm sure Leon wasn't the cause and if his presence was indeed shown to bring danger." Rafa clenched his hand. "I'll try to stay by his side. I know, I don't have the ability to fight. Never mind protecting others, I just can't protect myself."

"Then, forget about letting him stay in your house," Kevin cut off with a flat expression.

Rafa relaxed his fist and immediately looked at Kevin, "But after this incident, I don't want anything bad to happen. I don't want to just hide and rely on others, including you. I don't want to continue to rely on you and hide behind your shadow for protection.

I will try to do it in my own ability. One day, I'll protect Leon. Even if things were the same as last night, I would try my best to protect her. Not only Leon, I will protect you as well. It will not be you who protect me, but I who will protect you."

Rafa turned to look at Teddy, "Because of that, I'm sorry for the rejection I always say to you, uncle. I beg you, please teach me how to fight. Teach me how to be strong. Teach me how I can protect myself and something precious to me."

Now Teddy was surprised to hear Rafa say, "So.."

"But that doesn't mean I accepted your offer, uncle. Because I don't want to be a stronger hunter of creatures or anything like that. I just want the ability to protect myself and others. All I need is that. I beg you.., please teach me," Rafa bowed his body with his eyes closed.

Teddy's speechless. He seemed to be thinking about what decision he should make.

"I don't want last night to happen again. I don't want to lose Kevin, Leon or anyone close to me. I beg you, teach me how to fight" said Rafa who was still bowing his body.

Teddy scratched his head while sighing, "Huh..., what can I do? You seem to have a strong motivation now. I cannot refuse your wish. Once you're healed, we'll start."

Rafa re-enforced his body. He expressed seriously, "No, teach me one more week. I will definitely recover soon. It's okay if I haven't fully recovered, uncle just needs to train me from light things first."

"Huh? You kidding? Your condition will get worse like that."

"The one who was badly injured was just my left hand. The rest of my body is fine and has no serious injuries. Please, do one more week."

Teddy finds it difficult to grant Rafa's wish. It should take 1-4 months to heal and not use a cast. One week is still the recovery stage. Is that gonna be okay?

Kevin who had been silent since then, now began to open his voice, "No, don't do it. You need to heal. Don't hurt yourself with such strenuous exercise."

"I have to do it! I know that fighting ability cannot be obtained in just 1-2 days. That takes a long time. Moreover, the one faced was a person who had strength beyond human common sense. I know it's impossible to fight it.

Moreover, I am still a layman in such a thing. But Kevin, you should know. I don't want to see you get hurt like this. I don't want to be a burden to you. At least I want to be able to protect myself without being a burden to you."

Rafa is so determined. Judging by his eyes and speech. He had never been so motivated. But since that incident, he did not want this to happen again. Now maybe just one of Kevin's hands is cut off. Then next? Will their legs be cut off? Will their stomachs be split? Or will their necks be cut off? He didn't want it to happen later in the day.

"Alright if that's what you want. I'll obey him. But if your injuries get worse, we have to stop and I will train you once you recover fully. Even if it takes months, I don't care. If you protest at that time, I won't listen to it either. Do you understand?" Teddy said seriously.

Rafa's mouth was pulled upwards forming a smile. He was so happy when his request was granted like this, "Well, thank you so much uncle!"

On the other hand, Kevin clenched his hands tightly. He gritted his teeth in annoyance. He could not express that frustration and could only hold it in his heart, "Why don't you want to rely on me anymore? Is it because I am now one-handed, so you don't trust me anymore?!

Did losing one hand make me that weak, until I had to let you protect me?! Why become like this?! Am I now unreliable? Am I no longer needed? Am I now a burden? Why is this happening to me?! DAMN IT!"
