Find Me in 1000 Years

Interrogations

"He's my student. Why can't I talk to him?" ask the stiff-haired man to Ejiro.

"Well, can people not have secrets?" The man in the codet was trying to protect Ken. "Don't you have a secret you're hiding from us?"

Odagiri glared, annoyed. "Don't teach me how I should teach my students!"

Ejiro smiled obliquely. "Is that so? The big man does not want to be pointed out for his mistakes, while the little man is always reminded of his mistakes. Selfish!"

"What did you say!" The stiff-haired man moved forward until Ken came forward to break up the two.

Odagiri's student pushed the two away. "Already, already, already. Yes, sorry. I admit to being wrong. I made all this mess" he said still lowered his head. "But there is something more important, that is, Ivan escaped. This is very dangerous because the bite can make someone infected like Ivan, so dracula."

"That collar, what kind of disease?" asked the man in question.

"Every day above 10 pm they usually become dracula. They're bloodthirsty and looking for prey."

"Wait a minute, bloodthirsty and looking for prey?" Ejiro. "It's not human, is it? Looking for what prey?"

Ken only shared his memories while watching the Dracula movie. "To my knowledge, the dracula could not go out during the day because it was afraid of the sun. His body can be charred when exposed to direct sunlight. He was looking for a human prey that would suck his blood dry, and one that was only bitten and sucked his blood a little would become a dracula like Ivan. Thankfully, that didn't happen to me."

"You mean you were bitten by it?" ask Ejiro to clarify.

"Yes, but my friend immediately helped me remove the poison so that I was free from the influence of the dracula."

"So he's not human?" The man in the box asked.

"He's human, only at first I didn't know how he could become a dracula. They're even scarier when the red moon eclipses, they're so fierce."

"Red moon eclipse?"

"Hey, cut out this shit! I can't believe there's a creature or a demi-god. So tell me, you're a witch, aren't you, Ken? It must be your friend who cheated on you and I don't know why he wanted you!"

Odagiri's anger confused the two. Ken and Ejiro looked at each other.

"Just give it up, if you don't believe it," said the short-haired man slowly.

Odagiri was so curious that he pulled Ken's arm roughly to get close. "Tell me, you're a witch, right?" ask again.

"No."

"Then do you want to explain what about my silkworm thread that you stole and made such a stiff pole, mmh?"

"I just .. can just do it."

"Don't lie, Ken." Odagiri again pulled him rudely in anger.

"Hey, already!" The man with the codet pulled Ken back. "If you don't agree, why not just live alone? Let go, Ken."

Ejiro was instead pushed to the side at will by the stiff-haired man. "I'm talking to my students, don't interfere!" snapped it.

"Hey, Ken is an honest man. If you don't believe it, you do."

Odagiri looked at the man with a sharp blab. "I didn't ask you, why did you answer? Who are you anyway? You're just a friend to him. Aye, right?"

For a long time, Ejiro began to get annoyed at the stiff-haired man and almost unsheathed the sword. "Hey, I'm the same as him!"

"What same? You're just a samurai. A dog who complies with his master."

Ejiro climbed up and moved forward. The short-haired man pushed him back. It was then that Odagiri threw the silkworm cocoon at the man with the codet until it circled around Ejiro's body. Within seconds, the former samurai's man had his body tied to a thread of silkworms.

"What'sthis? Agh!" He tried to escape but he was in pain.

"Jiro ...." Ken looked at his friend in surprise. He spontaneously stared at the almost invisible thread so thin, asking to be released.

Yarn, release Ejiro.

The thread immediately moved back and reopened its bonds.

Odagiri could see for himself how the thread that only the young man saw, could move unbinding itself. "Yes, you're a witch!"

Ken's surprised. What he does makes people misunderstand. "No, it's not so ...."

But his words were lost quickly with the stiff-haired man's hand that moved to the back of Ken's neck and poked his blood way. The young man was unable to move.

"Sensei ...."

Odagiri also took Ejiro's blood before the man could break free from the silkworm thread so that both Ken and Ejiro, both bodies became stiff in the hands of the stiff-haired man.

"You're this ...," furious the man in the codet.

"It's already night. I'm lazy to fight so you'd better go back to my place." Odagiri carried the two on both shoulders and moved towards the abyss.

He remained agile jumping and running and it did not take long, he had arrived at his doorstep. He put them in Ken's room and laid them both on the bed. Then patted his hands together because he had solved the problem that night despite the emergency.

"You go to sleep and we'll finish it in the morning. And I'm asking you not to be noisy because I'm really sleepy." The man left them in the room lying side by side.

Ken sighed softly. "I'm sorry, Ejiro, you're getting into my trouble. I should have been able to settle this matter both with him but that person was really stubborn. Huh," said Ken.

"Of course, we'll face him tomorrow. What matters is that I'm relieved to see you in good health."

The short-haired man could not even look at Ejiro. Only his eyeballs moved and glanced at the man beside him. "Thank you for worrying about me" he said a little sadly.

That morning the two, Ken and Ejiro are back in court. They were seated on the ground accompanying the man fishing in the lake. The man put up the hook with the bait and threw the hook into the lake. After that, he plugged the fountain into the ground. Then he switched to both.

"Try me, Ken. What science can make my silkworm thread unite and hard like a rock and now hang on that tree." Odagiri pointed at a tree not far from them. "What do you call that magic?"

Ken dropped his gaze because he didn't know how to say it. "They just do what I ask, that's all" Ken replied slowly.

"Is that not magic?"

"No," said Ejiro quickly. "Having the ability and magic is different, but if I tell you that you'll never want to hear it for free."

Odagiri stared at the man for a moment. "Well, I'll listen, but ...." He raised his index finger. "Originally you're honest."

Ejiro glanced at Ken. Inevitably they had to be straightforward and see his reaction, as it was no longer possible to hide this from the man because the man had already seen Ken in action. "The magic can be learned so everyone can do it while having special abilities like Ken it can't. Only the person concerned can do it."
