The Ace Of Disasters
Episodes 10
”I didn't expect, the decision would be different from what I expected. After all, Gill was not a monster that could be underestimated. That's right, Rou?”
Luois spoke with a black figure standing in front of her. In a slum, where Gill executes the home of the entertainers. At an alley. The two faced each other and spoke for a while. Rou is also one of the many zombies in the city. His hair and eyes were black and his clothes were the same. His skin color looked like snow. At the corner of his lips, there was a trace of blood flowing all the way to his chin.
”What's Gill like? Very uninteresting name to hear.” Rou said as she wiped the blood at the corner of her lips, staring at the dozens of fallen human corpses with severe injuries on her body.
”He is also one of the human species. Time gatekeeper monster, Gill Arcrey. His ability to control time is incredible. He could kill someone whenever he wanted and without being seen by anyone. But, what a pity. His ability doesn't work for me.”
”Why not get straight to the point? I'm tired of hearing your useless remarks.”
Luois smiled a smirk. He leaned his right shoulder against the wall of the large building next to him while folding his hand. ”... There's one boy who killed most of your species. His name is Ayhner. Right now, Gill is trying to approach her and I am saying this as a warning to you.”
Hearing this word, it instantly made Rou rage overflow and she immediately glared at Luois who had already said it. He did not believe, his species was able to be defeated by a boy. Rou is a person who always wants to protect the people closest to him and will immediately kill people who have harmed his family or even just considered a threat to him.
”How many species have died on his hands?” asked Rou full of seriousness.
Luois again grinned. ”... If you want to eat it, it looks like you can't do it because he belongs to the same human species as me. But, the boy deliberately gave a gift to the human species that could kill him. You know that, right? The existence of a human child nearby.”
...~o0o~...
”HACHIIM!”
Ayhner sneezes right in front of a flower shop. He did not understand why he suddenly was like that when he was not at all allergic to flowers. His left ear felt like an insect had accidentally entered.
Suspecting that someone was talking about it, Ayhner began to look around. Pay attention to every movement of people and try to eavesdrop on their conversation. Most of these people, they're talking about other people who are not themselves. His ears were still ringing continuously. It felt like he immediately wanted to pry deeply into his ears and kill the insects that had already entered inside.
While being around watching everyone and not looking forward, he was suddenly startled by a large soft wall that appeared in front of him. Accidentally crashing and feeling that there was no way someone could build a wall on the street, Ayhner immediately opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Oh, it turns out this guy is Gill who always comes suddenly and guiltlessly after trying to kill him even though he himself decides to save him.
”What are you doing here?”
Gill speechless. However, judging from his expression he was like he was thinking of something very complicated. There was something he wanted to say but, he was too maintaining his overvalued self-esteem.
”You candy?” suddenly, Gill pulled out a chocolate candy bar from his pocket.
Ayhner immediately stared as if he had just gotten a lightning strike in broad daylight. People say, if people who already have a cold and cruel nature can not be changed. But what's with this thing? I hear brain disease can affect someone who has it.
Ayhner checked her temperature with her palms and she was fine. There was no sign of him having a fever. He then checked Gill's body temperature the same way and turned out to be hot. Not like normal people!
”You are sick! Go home!” Ayhner pointed at his index finger. However, at that time he immediately thought that Gill was not a perfect human but a human species. It is possible that this hot temperature came from his factory considering, every time he met a zombie, their body temperature was always cold.
Gill looked at him confused as if she did not understand what he was talking about. ”... Since I was born, I have never been sick. What does a person experience when they are sick?”
Ayhner replied directly, ”How do I know! Just ask someone else!” he quickly left her. However, Gill did not let that happen. He immediately held back the collar of Ayhner's clothes until it made him stop walking.
”I've risked my whole life to get to this place! Do not try to ignore me.” he said with a cold and threatening look.
Ayhner fell silent, smiling as she glared at Gill in disbelief.
...~o0o~...
”Eat.”
Gill thrust out a plate of pancakes that looked very sweet with caramel overlaying it and also some sweet and sour fruit on top of it. Of course it looks tempting especially the aroma that has been confirmed to taste very good. The place they were in was just an ordinary place. However, the two of them had already invited many pairs of eyes that saw it.
What's with everyone here?
Hear that the young master of the Arcrey family is very secretive. He rarely went out to eat someone. It feels like an incredible sight. It was as if they had marked Ayhner as a very special person because it had made this young Lord of Arcrey out of his comfort.
”Oh, so? Finally I know the meaning of risking his life.” Inner Ayhner. ”... But why did he bring me here? I've guessed something's wrong in his brain!”
Gill who had noticed earlier started asking, ”Why? You don't like it?”
Surprisingly he asked with a cold and hostile look. Just looking at it, it made him full. ”... I don't like food that is too sweet. You intend to give me a disease when I grow up?”
”I want to go home.”
”Say anything other than that!”
”This guy really forced me!” ayhner's mind began to impatiently hold back his anger.
”I just want to go home! Bring me back now and stop looking at me like I'm a wanted fugitive!” ayhner said a little snapping to make people look back at the two of them again.
”Request denied! Tell me something else besides.”
”I surrender!!”
Kriein!
Someone walked into the store. This person's gaze immediately led to Ayhner and Gill. Quickly, this person directly mentions, ”Ayhner!”
Ayhner quickly looked directly at Eldric who had just mentioned his name. Instantly he looked very happy because he had just found a very clear reason to run away from Gill. Who would be at home sitting opposite him if his gaze alone was like death would call.
”I just remembered! I was just about to meet Eldric. I'll go!”
When Ayhner was about to leave his chair unhindered by Gill altogether, Eldric suddenly came after him and immediately held him back. His gaze looked cold as he looked towards Gill who was also looking at him. It was clearly a hostile aura in each of them.
”Oh no. Could he remember what happened yesterday? Can be critical if he remembers it.” Inner Ayhner, slowly began to turn his face.
”You who?” Gill finally asked something after the two kept quiet.
”You look dangerous. Not like a human. Let's go Ayhner.” Eldric pulled Ayhner out. His premonition was very bad when he looked at Gill. Therefore, he immediately thought of taking her away.
Ayhner felt like he had just been released from prison. He thought he would spend his time sculpting in front of Gill. Did nothing but be stared at by him.
So horrendous.
”Who was that guy? Where do you know him?”
Both of them stopped when they reached a place that was quite quiet. Eldric looked very serious. He seemed to have just seen something terrible that would happen in a moment if Ayhner had been in that place even longer.
”What's really why? He was an old acquaintance of mine. So, it's only natural that I am currently talking to him.” Ayhner answered with origin despite a slight coercion.
”Lying! I know he's not your old acquaintance. Just tell me, what happened? Last night, I was sure it wasn't a dream. Suddenly time stopped and the man appeared. He is definitely not an ordinary person!”
Ayhner was silent for a moment. It turned out that Eldric was not someone who was easily lied to. If he remembers what happened yesterday, it means he knows that Ayhner is actually one of the human species. It is certain that Eldric deliberately brought her here to kill her because she was also a threat in this world.
When Ayhner was about to say something, Eldric suddenly interrupted. ”... You don't approach people like him! Did you know I just had a dream that you were almost killed by him?! If that happens, do you know how much grief your family will experience?”
Ayhner was so surprised to hear the speech of Eldric who seemed to want to protect him. He was completely confused by the attitude of everyone here. First Gill who suddenly took him away to taste sweet food and now Eldric who seemed to be protecting him just because of a real event that was already considered a dream by him.
”What's possible, it's actually me who's sick here?” inner Ayhner, speechless unable to answer anything.
”Hei! Ayyorn! Did you hear me?! Why just shut up?!”
Suddenly Ayhner came to his mind. Slowly, he showed his wide smile and his laugh which had been rarely heard lately. With a palm covering his entire forehead, he said, ”Hahaha! I think I'm the one who's sick here. It turns out I really have to go back. See you, young master Hanley.”
After greeting her farewell, Ayhner immediately ran away leaving her. Surprisingly, Ayhner ran towards the direction opposite to his residence. Maybe he forgot or didn't notice. Eldric didn't think much of it because most importantly, Ayhner already understood.
Eldric felt that something was stuck in his pocket. He reached into it and it turned out, inside was a piece of paper folded into four folds.
”What is this? Another letter from Ayhner? He asked me to save him or lure me into big trouble?”
Eldric opened one by one his folds and began to read the conjunctions written with a pen that was almost exhausted.
”There are a lot of things you don't need to know. All for your safety too. Just once, think to yourself.”
Eldric drew a faint smile and said to himself. ”... This time alone, he didn't involve me in his troubles.”
