Dark Saviors

Chapter 39's

After school, Seiji, Reiko and Iroha go to the guard post guarding the forest entrance behind the academy, intending to meet Emily who is there. When it arrives, “Knock..knock.” Seiji knocked on the door of a long one-story building and many windows, the building was like a fence bordered by the academy complex and the forest behind it,  in the middle of the building was a large gate that was tightly closed, the door that Seijia knocked on was an ordinary door that was next to the gate, a small door was opened, and the door was closed, Frieren is behind the door, though,

“Please enter..” Frieren.

Seiji, Reiko and Iroha go inside following Frieren who escorts them to the room where Emily works. “Knock.knock.” “Log.” Emily answered from within. Frieren opens the door and lets Emily inside. Emily was monitoring the situation of the forest entrance through a window facing the forest. Hearing the voice behind her, Emily turns around and welcomes the arrival of Seiji, Reiko and Iroha.

“Welcome to the ranger post..” Emily said.

“How are you Emily-san..” Sapa Seiji is stale.

“I'm fine, if you're here means Lorien-sama already told you yes.” Emily said.

“True, we're here to take a pass to be able to cross into the forest..” Seiji.

“Alright...severa. Friend can't take their pass outside ?” Ask Emily to Frieren.

“Good, ojousama..” Frieren Reply.

Then Frieren walked out of the room, Emily stood up and locked the door, and then she sat down on the sofa opposite Seiji, Reiko and Iroha.

“Well, now that I tell you the situation, Lorien-sama may have explained that there are intruders who recently infiltrated into the forest.” Emily said.

“True Emily-san, she already explained everything.” Reply Seiji.

“Actually I asked you to investigate this to Lorien-sama, I know that Lorien-sama must have suspected some high school students, but my opinion is different, I suspect an advanced-level student and I want to confirm something.” Emily said.

“Confirm what Emily-san ?” Ask Reiko.

“Solon-san is really dead right?” Ask Emily.

"Eh....." Seiji and Reiko are shocked to hear Emily's question.

Seiji immediately turned to look at Reiko who had also turned to look at him, the two of them became asked why Emily asked such a question,

“I'm sure, because it happened before my eyes..” Seiji replied trying to convince Emily.

“Good, now I ask you to take a look at this picture...” Emily said.

He took out a picture from inside his bag, it was a magic image taken by a guard while on guard and watching the person he thought was the intruder. Seiji, Reiko and Iroha who saw the magic image were instantly shocked, all they saw was a man wearing a robe, who was wearing a cloak, he was armed with a double axe on his back and had long black hair tied behind him, his face that looks from the side is indeed similar to Seiji at the age of 18 years and has red eyes. Reiko and Iroha who have been told everything, turned to see Seiji who they knew clearly that Seiji was Solon when 10 years ago.

“This is impossible.” Seiji Guman.

“But this was taken by a guard who could use magic while watching the forest a few days ago. This guy looks inside and a few hours later he comes out again.” Reply Emily.

“Solon-niichan Similar.” Reiko pura.

“That's why I asked you that and I asked you guys who helped me here to Lorien-sama. Sorry to get you involved Iroha-chan.” Emily said.

“It's okay onee-chan.” Reply Iroha.

“But this face...where I've seen it...” Seiji muttered while looking at the magic image and observing it.

“You know nii-chan ?” Reiko asked in a whisper.

“Maybe..” Reply Seiji whispered.

“So I ask you to go inside and watch inside, if you see your achievements, of course you are strong against monsters in the forest.” Emily said.

“Good Emily-san, now we go inside..” Seiji.

After saying goodbye, the three went out and walked towards the gate, Frieren was already waiting there and gave them a pass. After which, some guards opened the gate slightly,

“We go..” Said Seiji and Reiko to Frieren.

“Hearts yes Solon-sama, Reena-sama, Ingrid-sama, if anything go straight back to the gate.” Frieren.

“Good, thank you Frieren-san.”

Seiji, Reiko and Iroha stepped out of the gate, they saw a stretch of forest in front of them and a path in the middle. The gate was back at the close, the three stepped forward walking towards the path in the middle of the dense forest.

“Don't you have another twin sister nii-chan Reiko told Seiji.

“Hah...where, I'm an only child...but why does his face look like me huh ?” Ask Seiji.

“That's it, it's possible that she's your older sister who hasn't met for a long time and then met here...” Answer Reiko.

“You read too many novels..There can't be anything like that..” Seiji.

“Loh we have proof right..” Reply Reiko.

“If you think you're right too.” Reply Seiji.

“Anoo...maybe I know..” Iroha interrupted.

Seiji and Reiko turned to look at Iroha who was walking in the middle of them both,

“If you can be honest, I have an older cousin, his face is very similar to yours Seiji-niichan, remember not when I came out of the bush, I was stunned and cried seeing you before I ran past you?” Ask Iroha.

“Iya, before I die..” Seiji.

“I was stunned because your figure was similar to my older cousin who took care of me when my family died, she put me in her apartment, she said, because of that her boyfriend who was living with her became angry and left her, but for my sake she worked hard until she finally died when I was 17 years old, he died at the age of 23 due to an accident.” Iroha.

Hearing Iroha's story, Seiji and Reiko stopped stepping, they immediately turned to look at Iroha.

“Wait a minute...you said your cousin looks like Sei-niichan ? then the reason his girlfriend left him was because she wanted to take you into the apartment ?” Ask Reiko.

“Iya right nee-chan..why nee-chan.” Answer Iroha.

“Um..sorry, what is your cousin Hitoshi Sekiguchi's sister's name?” Ask Reiko.

“Loh how does nee-chan know ? I haven't mentioned a name yet.” Iroha replied with a confused face.

“Sekiguchi ? where have I heard that name.” Ask Seiji while thinking.

Reiko immediately covered her red face making Seiji and Iroha become confused to see her. But Seiji directly meduganya,

“Oi Rei-chan, do not let her boyfriend leave her...” Seiji.

“Iya..it was me...my life was ruined after leaving her because I went home to my aunt husband.” Reply Reiko.

“Eh...nee-chan the oniisan boyfriend she told me about and left him ?” Ask Iroha.

Reiko nodded and turned around while covering her face, Iroha directly walked in front of Reiko and hugged her, Iroha,

“Why did nee-chan leave her ? because he's holding me ? I don't have a brother besides him.kok you have a heart nee-chan.” Iroha.

“I broke up with her for a reason and not because of you.” Reiko.

“What is the reason ? she is sad, she works to die for the sake of forgetting nee-chan and finally she dies from an accident when she comes home from the office. I know he must be exhausted to the point of not concentrating.” Iroha.

“You must be angry if I tell you the reason.” Reiko.

“What nee-chan, I wonder..” Reply Iroha annoyed.

“The reason is...” Reiko pointed at Seiji.

“Aaaah was right too, Sekiguchi-san, my senior in the office when I was just working, we were often called twins and many wrongly called us both in the office, he said, dear she died hit by a car..eh..why point me so ?” Seiji asked because he saw his face on Reiko's point.

“You forgot to drive Hitoshi-san to the apartment when he got drunk and met me ? you two were like twins.indeed at that time I didn't know you either.” Reiko.

“Even yes ? I forgot..but I remember him, I came to his funeral that time.” Seiji.

“Eh...I was at his funeral loh..” Iroha.

“That time I didn't come because my aunt's husband was banned..” Reply Reiko.

“That's why nee-chan broke up with my cousin because of nii-chan ?” Ask Iroha.

“True, when he came to take the drunk Hitoshi-san home, I still did not know what and what was normal, anyway, but when I asked who was driving whom and Hitoshi-san answered that he was named Seiji Kawamura his subordinate, my heart immediately pounded, the person I had been looking for appeared....my feelings for your cousin sister started to waver and I didn't want to hurt her any longer, that's why I left, I was selfish.” Reiko.

“In that case, the reason nee-chan is dating an oniisan is because it looks like Seiji-nii-chan ?” Ask Iroha.

“Iya was right, Hitoshi-san was a senior when I was high school, because I was bullied a lot and because she looked like Sei-niichan, I became dating her...indeed, before breaking up he said he would bring his cousin in, I instead took advantage of the moment to leave him, I'm sorry Iroha-chan.” Answer Reiko.

“Huuuh...it's okay nee-chan, I understand..” Iroha.

“Iroha-chan, I know you must be angry with Rei-chan, but the reason senpai worked so hard was not because she wanted to forget Rei-chan, he has moved on and already has another girlfriend who is my office friend and senior as well although different divisions, his girlfriend's age is a year older than me and a year younger than senpai....Senpai worked hard not because of his will, because indeed the company we work for is a black company.when he died and I replaced his duties, then I felt how heavy he became.” Reply to Seiji while holding Iroha's head.

“Seiji-niichan ?” Ask Iroha.

“True, I did not lie, the reason we met in the park was also because I just came home last night from the office.” Answer Seiji.

Iroha was speechless, Seiji and Reiko were also silent, the three of them did not say anything and continued their journey, arriving, arriving,

“Haaah....Seiji-niichan, Reiko-neechan, I'm sorry, I was carried away by emotions, we could meet here not by chance.I'm grateful I met you guys.so please be ordinary again yes.” Iroha said while holding Seiji and Reiko's hands.

“Iya Iroha-chan, I'm sorry yes.” Reiko.

“I'm sorry Reiko-neechan..” Reply Iroha.

“Alright, now we find your cousin...” Reply Seiji.

“Iya nii-chan Reply Iroha.

The three began to step into the path to go deeper into the forest. But in Seiji and Reiko's mind,

“Fucking goddess...how dare she comfort people's feelings..” Said Seiji and Reiko in his head while glancing at Iroha who was walking in the middle.
