Reincarnation: A Quite Revenge

Chapter 15 - Katana & Ninja Costumes

Hiro told Shima all his problems. Including the problem at the police station.

In contrast to Akira, who was reluctant to ask for help. That's because he knew Shima had an economic life as difficult as he did.

"Hiro, stop. We better find our own rental house. I don't want to trouble Shima..." Akira whispered softly into Hiro's ear.

"Guard.st..." Hiro placed his index finger in front of his lips. He managed to make Akira speechless. She doesn't care at all about her mother's words. Hiro instead continues his serious conversation with Shima. Until his best friend finally understood.

Instead of feeling sad, Shima even seemed to smile broadly. Especially when Hiro told me that he was looking for a house to live in.

"One-way. My grandfather's house has been empty for months. The place isn't that big, but I'm sure it will fit you both!" Shima raised her eyebrows excitedly. He hurried to get a pen and a piece of paper, then wrote down his home address.

"The place is right next to my house. You guys go there first. I have to deliver all orders first" Shima said, handing over a piece of paper with an address to Hiro.

"Thank you, Shima-Kun!" reply Hiro with a simple smile. He immediately invites Akira to go to the address that Shima wrote to him.

After boarding the bus for about ten minutes, Hiro and Akira arrived at their destination. They immediately pressed the bell available at the turnstile.

Soon a boy ran to open the fence. The boy's face was very similar to Shima's. Most likely he is his younger brother.

"Hello, my name is Shiro Kobayoshi." The eight-year-old boy bent his body. He welcomed Hiro and Akira very kindly. Shiro already knew about Hiro's arrival because it was told by his brother over the phone. Shiro invites Hiro and Akira to follow him. He went to his grandfather's long-empty home.

Kriet's...

The door opened slowly. The house that Hiro and Akira will live in. Looks very old, because indeed the last occupant himself is Shima's grandfather. Akira shook his hands in front of his nose several times. Because the house is so dusty. There are two small rooms inside. The state of the house is very empty, due to so few furniture items. There are only old objects beloved by Shima's grandfather that still survive.

Hiro just stepped his foot in. The big bag that was in his hand was instantly detached. His mouth curled up to form a smile. He is fascinated by the old things that are in the house of his grandfather Shima.

A katana hanging on the wall caught Hiro's attention the most. He tried to take the sharp object.

"Don't!" pekik Shiro, trying to stop Hiro's actions. "That's my grandfather's most precious possession!" Shiro explained in a firm tone. The boy looked very serious about his words.

"Sorry..." Hiro turned around and smiled faintly. "Has your grandfather been good at using it?" he asked with raised eyebrows. Hiro slightly bent down to be able to equalize his height with Shiro. He knows how to be kind to children.

"My grandfather was a great martial arts coach. For me he is a samurai, he is also very good at playing the katana. But because of a problem he finally stopped in his forties," Shiro explained as he stared at the figura containing a photo of his late grandfather. His eyes showed a twinkle of admiration as well as longing.

"Well, he must be a great man!" Hiro turned his eyes towards the photo.

"Very! shima and I want to have a martial skill like that. But, we don't have enough money to enter any academy." Shiro slowly lowered his face. His expression looked disappointed, recalling the economic hardships that befell him now.

Hiro was just silent. Now she knows the reason Shima is so eager to be trained by her. But Hiro still feels reluctant to become a teacher.

"I'm sorry that the house is still a mess. I hope you can sleep well tonight." Shiro said goodbye, he was about to go to sleep, because it was late at night.

"Alright, but you also have to sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow!" akira said in reply. He then walked into the room.

Hiro nodded his head while smiling with satisfaction. Then galloped into the room next to Akira's room. He wants to put his bag in the closet.

Hiro's eyes were perfectly rounded, as he watched there were many ancient clothes in the closet. And what catches Hiro's most attention is the black ninja costume.

Hiro gets a black ninja costume. He stared at the clothes with sparkling eyes.

"Where have you been? I missed you so much! you don't know how hard it is to find you!" murmured Hiro hysterically while carrying a ninja costume into his arms. He felt like he was coming back to life to be himself.

After being satisfied with nostalgia, Hiro stood up. Then immediately put on the ninja costume he had found. He seems to have no power to hold back, especially when remembering the many problems that have beenfallen him all day. The face of Takeshi and his subordinates continued to cross in his shadow. Making Hiro's prejudices and anger even more stirring.

Hiro concludes that it was Takeshi who had made himself and Akira expelled from the flats. Everything was very clear in Hiro's eyes. He had suspected her since he was at the police station.

"As I promised, once again they're disturbing. Then I will finish them off in silence" Hiro said with a grin. Then cover his face with a black cloth, leaving only part of his eyes.

For Hiro, Takeshi and his subordinates deserve to be killed. He had been weighing his options while on the way.

Before leaving the house, Hiro did not forget to take the katana hanging on the wall. He promised to return it in one piece and clean.

Hiro quietly left the house. As usual, he can do everything smoothly. However, Hiro realized that he would not be able to walk through very tall buildings. As a result Hiro was forced to step casually down the streets. He didn't care about people staring strangely. For him the most important thing was to teach Takeshi a lesson.

"Look! there are humans from the past lost!" uhhhh..."

"So your mouth! he's a ninja, you'll be cut down with his katana... pfffft!"

"Loser! uhhhh..."

Two men happened to mock Hiro. They continued to laugh, even though Hiro had already walked past.

While on the bus, Hiro again got the same response. He again gets ridicule from people he does not know. Not infrequently there are some people who perpetuate Hiro by taking photos via mobile phone.

Hiro fully understands, if the costume is usually in the past will attract attention if it is used in the present. He was not embarrassed in the slightest, after all everyone could not see his face even from a close distance.

Hiro just stared and mute. Letting everyone mock him. He left very soon, when the bus had stopped. Then he stepped into the alley he had visited with Shima. The building in the alley was not very tall, and it made it very easy for Hiro to do the action.
