'' Ryuzi, you are tough and hard. Your attitude reminds me of Uzumaki, " said the old granny while chuckling.
Hearing his birth name mentioned by a stranger in his presence. Aiko immediately set her eyes on the figure.
" Who are you really? " look at Aiko.
But the alien man instead chuckles instead of answering questions from Aiko. Now his face was clearly visible after the white hair that was originally scattered to cover the face, blurred by the night wind that blew strong.
Half the old woman's face was broken like a burn, her skin was peeling and blackening.
" You don't need to know who I am, but my arrival is to help you avenge your past" he said.
A grudge? Again the old woman seemed to know everything about Aiko. Making Aiko stand ready to attack, she could not trust anyone in this world let alone a stranger. It could be that the figure turned out to be an enemy who deliberately set him up, he had to remain careful to face anyone he did not recognize.
" You think I'm an opponent? he,, he, he, well, let me tell you, "he was silent for a moment, his eyes looking straight at the pitch-black sky.
" Uzumaki your father is a meritorious man in my life. He saved me once when he was cursed by a witch from Hiroshi's gang. Look at my face, because of that stupid witch ! " the woman's eyes bulged as if her bead eyes wanted to come out of her place, her one finger pointing at the face that was peeling and broken.
" the curse? " Aiko frowned, waiting for the story back from a stranger in her presence who claimed to know Uzumaki.
" Yes the curse. But you don't need to know what the curse is, it doesn't matter. Uzumaki told me to go to a hill and meditate there so that I could remove a curse. He was right, the curse disappeared not even that. I also have magic that is many times more powerful than the magician Hiroshi. I intend to avenge me but when I come down from the hill, I find Uzumaki's house burned. I knew that Uzumaki had a daughter, and in the light I found out that Uzumaki's daughter was still alive. Long time I've been waiting for you Ryuzi, I want us to take revenge on them together. Intentionally for years I waited for your arrival, also deliberately I did not immediately finish them off so that you can avenge your parents with your own hands, "the old woman explained.
" Can I trust you? " Aiko still can't believe what the witch said.
" Me and Uzumaki are classmates. This jade pendant is the epitome of our friendship.
" It looks like I've been destined to help you take revenge on Hiroshi. We will both fight them, but before that I will teach you not to type martial arts that you have not mastered. "obviously again.
" Why did you come to me this time, huh? "
" I couldn't have seen you with Mien. Because that woman takes care of you so much and worries about you too much. He doesn't even want you to take revenge for Uzumaki's death, he's afraid of losing you. Else with me, I believe if you can definitely finish off Hiroshi, I never doubted your ability, but unfortunately you instead chose to study at the Yen college, he.., " the woman chuckled as if she underestimated the knowledge taught by the Yen college.
" I see Sam a lot, he knows who I am. He also knows your grudge against Hiroshi. Even the sword Sam gave me was also my sword, " said the woman again.
" This sword? "
" That's my sword. I ordered Sam to give you the sword, "
" But Sam said that if this sword is inherited from his ancestors, "
" The sword says my name, AKUMA ! "
Aiko examined the sword held by her. Sure enough, there was a name written among the images painted on the sword but barely visible to him. Even he only realized at this time, if in his sword it says the name AKUMA. The old woman's words were right, Aiko was now starting to believe her. He will accept Akuma's offer to jointly avenge Hiroshi and his followers.
