The Ace Of Disasters
Episode 30's
Don't play with lions if you don't want to feel their fangs.
In an old house in the slums, Aciel, who had brought nothing, knocked on the door three times. The voices of several people were heard from inside this house. He put suspicion on this house because the other house is not occupied by the owner.
Shortly after, a large man opened his door along his index finger. He looked at Aciel who was wearing a black robe and a hood to cover his head. Feeling strange about his whereabouts, the man asked, ”What do you want to come here?”
Aciel remained silent for a while. He smelled the stinging smell of blood coming from inside the house. For a person who has often smelled blood like Aciel, others will definitely not be able to notice it.
Not long after, Aciel showed his face that was smiling kindly like he was greeting the host. ”I am a cop investigating a kidnapping case. Have you ever seen someone suspicious around here?”
The man looked surprised then rolled his eyes towards the left. ”Ahh, I've never seen it. Only I live here with my family.”
”Really?” Aciel ducked, grinning. Then his hand moved to strangle the man whose body was bigger than him. ”... You're the one I'm looking for.” in a matter of seconds, Aciel was able to break the man's neck in just one grin.
The man did not have time to shout so that his arrival did not trigger a crowd. However, as the door opened wide, another group of men whose bodies were much larger than her were also inside the house. They always seem to be on the lookout for someone who comes to their hideout.
The unarmed Aciel looked at them with an extremely angry and threatening look. His red eyes lit up like the moon shining brightly. ”Where are you hiding my son?”
...~o0o~...
Early in the morning, Luois woke up. He didn't realize he had been asleep for a long time. His current position was leaning against the wall of the living room. The sofa in the room was already very shabby and fragile. The surface also looks moist and seems uncomfortable to sit on.
Luois could not remember how he got here. Then he turned to the right and saw Ayhner sleeping next to him. He sat right next to her with his face facing her. After that, he remembered how he got here.
”Stupid! Instead of leaving here he still survives until now.” Luois murmured. He tried to wake her up by holding her shoulder and said, ”Hey! Wake up! It's dangerous here. You should leave immediately.”
Ayhner opened his eyes slightly, looked at Luois half-consciously then said, ”Oh, grandfather of the forest guard. If you want to go, just go. I want to rest here in a moment. Lately, my head hurts so much.” he said then went back to sleep.
Luois watched and was silent for a moment, ”His sleep was fast.” her inner then leaned back in place earlier. He looked towards a medicine box used to treat him. He opened it and it turned out to be true, Ayhner did not use medicine to shrink the wound and only used gauze that remained.
”And he could heal my wounds with his blood. No need to bother to wrap my wound with makeshift gauze. But, does he remember?”
...~o0o~...
”You want my son?” Aciel interrogates the last person in the middle of several dead bodies all with broken necks. He's really very angry. His expression, made some people unable to answer his question.
”K-we don't know it. Four people in charge of carrying the train, still have not returned until now.” replied the person with distress due to shortness of breath.
Aciel was silent for a moment. ”It looks like it's enough.” after that Aciel then broke the guy's neck and then dropped it. The corpses here all spewed quite a lot of blood from within his mouth. Both of Aciel's hands did not escape his splashes. After knowing that the horse carriage had not yet arrived, he immediately walked out to look for it.
A black shadow floated in the air. A pair of formless eyes with hundreds of human eye shapes were around his body. He always stuck to Aciel and always whispered something to her.
”I will definitely ask for a shadow from you.” said Leth with his horrible voice.
”Take it as long as you don't nuisance the people around me. Tell me, where is he now?” aciel said firmly.
”Khikk, ,... You're so pushy. This is not a good thing you can hear.” Leth gives a pause. ”... Right now, he's with your little brother. You know he is evil and you can definitely guess what will happen if he continues with him.”
Hearing him made Aciel surprised and immediately put on an indignant expression. He clenched his hand until he didn't realize his hand had been injured. ”... Where's the place?”
”Not far from here. Your former residence that became a memory of your childhood.”
...~o0o~...
”Can sleep soundly like this when the situation is not good. He was indeed similar to his Father.” muttered Luois as he watched her from the same position.
It could be this close, making Luois recall something. When he decided to go from home and isolate himself to other places. Nine years ago, he met Ayhner for the first time. He still doesn't know that Ayhner is the son of Aciel and Chloe.
Ayhner asks her to show her the way to her house while herself does not know where she is. Ayhner still hasn't said who her parents are as long as the two talk lightly about everyday life. In the end, Chloe comes alone to meet Ayhner and immediately hugs him out of anxiety and worry.
”Thank you for taking care of him. I'm so grateful.” Chloe was so humble when Luois did nothing but tell stories.
”I didn't do anything for him.” he replied.
As Chloe and Ayhner are leaving, Ayhner gives her time to give her something. He reached into his pocket and pulled out something inside. ”... For you.” an ace of hearts from his pocket and give it to Luois.
Then he again said, ”... I want to see my uncle again. Either as enemies or as friends. Because, uncle is like a second father to me. Better father than my current father.”
Those words, made Luois curious. And when he decided to follow him, it turned out that the man Ayhner called his father was now Aciel. He who was then the captain of the queen dog troop was so busy that the time to talk to him was also very hard to come by.
”I should hate you. But why can't I do it now?”
Luois fell silent. Then he felt something creepy in front of this house. The surrounding temperature was suddenly cold as snow was falling when it had not. He was increasingly anxious until finally, he carried Ayhner on his back and right after, the door of this house was smashed into pieces.
Luois dodged the stone fragments flying towards her along with Ayhner. After the dust stopped popping from the shattered sand and stone, Aciel's figure began to be seen in front of him with a horrifying look in his eyes, staring at Luois who was standing before him.
”I guessed it was you who did it! Give her back to me!”
