The After World Breaker

Chapter 27: Early winter of the year

Snow fell, covering the road in the forest. The route commonly used by traders or migrants to pass through.

Allenz, Zen, and Arthur are aboard an airship that takes them back to Nevelheim, after a previous battle. Five days ago, while attacking the eastern city of the demon territory earlier, and returned two days later.

All three in a passenger room, Zen and Allenz are asleep on the sofa due to fatigue in the war they went through. Arthur, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked out of the round window.

Arthur can now calm down, after this he can be far from the war and even Allenz is also now out of the military forces.

When the three-headed old man was pensive, someone outside knocked on the door of the room. Realizing someone's arrival, Arthur stood up from the bed and headed for the door. There was a soldier carrying a letter message and a small box that looked neatly wrapped.

Receiving the message and returning to his bed, Arthur sees the letter, which is sealed with the royal wax seal, behind which is the signature of the four kings. This made Arthur curious, opened the message and read the contents of the letter.

To Arthur and his family,

You may be surprised by this letter. But you don't have to be afraid, either, this letter only contains a thank you for Allenz and Sir Zen who have helped the four kingdoms in fighting the demon that has divided us over the last dozen years. With your involvement, we can face a real enemy. Therefore, for your participation. I, Ronald Seinn Hearterra, king of the Kingdom of Hearterra and three kings of other kingdoms. Declaring and appointing Allenz Weller to lead commander in the U. S. Alliance. With a medal as the highest award of the four kings.

Then, for sir Zen will be given a house and appreciation of the four kings, considering you do not have a house. Then we will give a patch of land and a house to sir Zen. Sure, with the best waitress of us, to take care of the house and your own.

Plus the names of Allenz and sir Zen will be recorded in the historical record, along with the family concerned. Considered a hero and remembered in it and placed in the book of heroes with troops who participated in the war against the devil before.

Maybe I wrote it too long, sorry.

^^^From your brother, Ronald^^^

Looking at the contents of the letter, Arthur simply held the letter firmly. "BABECK!!!"

Allenz and Zen, who had fallen asleep, woke up to a scream from Arthur. Along with those who woke up, the ship they were riding to the destination. Putting the letter in his pocket, Arthur, Allenz, and Zen get off the ship.

Out of the ship, they saw the city of Nevelheim, which was covered with snow.

"Let's go back, I'd like to see your mother soon." Arthur carried his bag.

Allenz and Zen are only confused to see Arthur who seems upset. Following Arthur who began to move away, they returned home from a tiring war.

Walking on the streets of the city, the atmosphere was very different, the city became quiet and only a few came out. Plus the city became almost completely white due to the snow.

Until walking and arriving at home, enter the yard of the house that has been completely covered with snow. Standing at the door, Arthur knocked. From inside the house, Anya opened the door, welcoming the three people who had already returned.

"Welcome back!!" Say everyone in the house, even the Bartford family until Yia is there to welcome them back.

The three raised their original, not expecting their return to be welcomed.

Anya hugged the husband who had returned safely. Allenz is greeted by Nayaka and Teresa. A zen? He got a welcome back from Yia and Ben.

"Thank you, Yia. You're better than the woman in there, huhu." Zen said as he clasped Yia's hand, and slightly insinuated Nia who was just staring from the corner of the room.

Nia who was insinuated, only put on a disgusted face on Zen.

"Welcome back." Ford said as he gave a warm hug to Arthur who had come home.

The three of them's belongings were brought by Yia and Nia, while they would have a little chat in the living room. Arthur also delivers the letter he received on the ship earlier, and is given to Anya for his wife to read.

Everyone became curious about the contents of the letter, after reading the contents of Anya's face letter like an annoyance covered with a forced smile.

Curious about the letter, it even made Anya look upset. Ford read the contents of the letter out loud, for everyone to listen to the contents of the letter.

Read the contents of the letter containing thanks to Zen and Allenz, for having helped in the previous war. And gave a number of awards, and the position of the main commander of the As Alliance to Allenz and along with the Allenz mark-identifying medal was appointed commander there, when he was still young.

Everyone was silent, whether they wanted to be happy with this or not, Allenz got a good position and position, but on the other hand he was the same as remaining a member of the royal army.

"eeee.... Either I feel happy and not at the same time." Say Allenz yourself with a sour face.

Anya quickly snatched the letter from Ford's hand, then tore it apart and threw it on the fireplace. "That bastard.... Does he still feel lacking with Allenz's contribution in the war, huh?!" Anya said as she gritted her teeth, even the veins were visible on the woman's forehead.

"But, mom... The ones who gave the award were the four kings." Nayaka said with fear.

"Then the bastards increase by three... Hihihi...." Anya said with a horrible laugh.

Everyone there became afraid when they saw Anya who was angry about it.

"Aunt Nia, get Jack out of here, sister Yia too." Nayaka's orders.

Yia and Nia follow that order, they take little Jack out of the house to get away from his mother who starts to rampage.

"My gut is bad." Said Zen who felt the current condition was quite serious.

"Yep, your hunch is not wrong, Ras." Sahut Allenz's.

"Everyone get ready!!" Shouted Arthur.

From the outside, Yia and Nia only saw the house from outside the courtyard, until there were some people around questioning them, why they were outside when it was cold like this.

"You'll know." Answer Nia briefly.

After saying that, the lower floor of the Hearterra family home exploded, making the doors and windows shatter until they spread out to the corners of the house.

"explosion!!"

"Water, we need water!!"

"The fire!"

The surrounding residents then panicked by the incident just now, they quickly tried to extinguish the fire in the house. While the people who were inside the house then came out in tatters. Allenz, who was helped by Zen, came out and leaned against the fence of the house made of stone.

"Al, your mother is far more terrible than the devil and the war, uhuk, uhuk." Zen said giving his opinion on Anya.

"I agree." Nayaka, Allenz and Teresa agreed.

As a result, the house had to undergo renovation, and the Hearterra family had to move to the new Zen house given by the king, which was not far from Bartford's house. Then, Anya will be treated for a while, as a result of her using too much magic that causes an explosion in their home.

The beginning of the new year has passed, winter is entering the middle, it takes two more months to enter spring. It snows a lot all the time, and the temperature gets really cold. Make people have to wear thick clothes when out of the house.

Allenz while at home, he was learning a new magic, fire magic. Amidst the cold snow, he focused his mind, concentrating on the surroundings. Until a lightning spark appeared from a distance.

From that spark, Zen appeared quickly, with sharp reflexes, Allenz resisted the attack just now. Having his attack halted, Zen retreated by disappearing back into a lightning spark in the air. Then, attack Allenz back from the other side.

Allenz continued to defend because Zen continued to attack him, making himself unable to focus on casting spells, jumping backwards, Allenz just cast a magic spell. "Burning the earth, and like hell devouring the soul, enveloped the wrathful heart, Inferno." Allenz burned his surroundings. Zen cannot get close.

Stopping to dodge Allenz's attack, Zen chose to jump over the fire Allenz attacked him from above.

Allenz, who knew that Zen was jumping and attacking from above, quickly made the wind to attack Zen who was in the air.

"Dam." Crossing his arms to withstand the attack, Zen ended up being thrown backwards and fell on a pile of cold snow, drenching the back of his shirt. "Ahh, cold!'

Quickly Zen stood up and cleaned the back of the clothes from the snow.

"You're right, it's noon." Zen replied, a bright day appeared in the blue sky, there were no clouds cloudy, snow falling. "Iris! We're going home." Call Zen.

Hearing himself being called, Iris who was originally playing in the snow, now returned to Zen who finished training. Return to Zen and re-enter Zen's body.

Allenz, who saw Iris coming in, asked Zen why he did not give the boy clothes. Although Iris made do not have vital tools, but still strange to see the iris looks like not wearing clothes.

"Maybe I'll give her a dress, but I rarely take her out. Do you remember Iris hasn't been told to your family. I also thought it would be bad to tell you this, considering Iris's form." Obviously Zen.

"Right as well, means we have to find a body for Iris to use as a disguise."

"That's the problem where? Although there may be a lot of labs out there, but there can't be a body of New Human samples that are still in storage, right?" Zen. "Especially not necessarily the body is suitable for Iris."

Discussing the New Human body, Allenz also seemed to want to do the same to Alans. "Talking about this, I thought about separating Alans from me and giving her a new body."

Hearing that, Zen became surprised and rejected that. "You crazy?! Separating your other consciousness is impossible, it will affect you as well, you know?!"

"Yes, yes I know! I'm looking for another way too."

Returning to their new home, they find Arthur fishing with Ford. Zen seemed interested in coming with them.

"Can I come with you?" Ask Zen.

"Of course, no problem." Reply Ford.

Zen along with Arthur and Ford went to fish on a lake in the southwest of the city, where it was also suitable for hunting animals.

Go to the southwest, which is a forest area with tall trees. They passed through many tall trees that were some distance apart, during the Zen journey asking why they were fishing, even though it was winter. The rivers and lakes would freeze.

Ford replied. "Because we haven't been fishing in the summer and fall, because of our work. So right now, our job is done, and Arthur can come home from the war, that's why we're fishing."

Understanding the matter, it is difficult when the work piles up and can not do what is liked.

In the middle of the road, Arthur asked Zen about himself who did not have a partner, but was twenty-two years old.

Confused to explain how, Zen also seems still confused with the ideal type of partner.

"What do you think of Nia? Is he your type?" Guess Arthur.

Staring flat, Zen replied. "Of all the women I've met, she's a trait I don't like. And you forgot? My relationship with him is complicated."

"Oh... I thought you were joking with each other."

"No, we're not kidding each other. I don't like his attitude either." Answer Zen again.

"It looks like your relationship is complicated and doesn't fit in." Ford. "Then, what about Yia?"

Hearing about Yia, Zen actually knew less about the girl even further, as he had only met her four times. "Hmmm.... I don't know, I rarely talk to him. But I like his persistent spirit."

"Oh yeah, you and Nia's ages are a little far away too, aren't they?" Guess Arthur.

"Well... Six years older than me." Zen said in a limp tone.

"Aahhhhhhhhh.... It would be hard to find a partner for Nia. Even Anya had introduced some men to her, but all of them were rejected by her directly." Arthur explained. "I'm afraid he'll be too old and not have a suitable partner yet."

"The problem of love is troublesome, yes." Zen speech with flat.

"It would actually be easy if you knew each other and did like each other, but looking at you and Nia, it's like you guys are not really intending to have a partner." Said Arthur.

"Ugh, I feel humiliated." Sahut Zen's.

"Hahahaha, I definitely pray that you and Nia can find a suitable partner for you guys." Ford.

Until when discussing the pair for Zen. Arthur asks about the black creature that helped them during the war, he hears that the creature is with Zen.

"Black creatures?" Ford who knows nothing is just confused.

Zen was silent when Arthur asked about Iris. "A-are you not afraid of him?"

"As long as he doesn't attack and obeys I don't mind. So do you know where he is?" Ask Arthur again.

Heaving his head, Zen warned them not to be afraid. "Iris, can you come out and not freak them out?"

Ford, who was confused by the direction of the conversation, chose to shut up and look. "Who are you calling?"

Until Iris came out slowly and hid behind Zen, Ford who saw a black figure was surprised and afraid. However, it was quickly calmed down by Arthur. "Ford, calm down, he's not attacking either."

Ford, who was calmed by Arthur, still seemed to not believe the black figure that came out of Zen.

Arthur approaches Iris, who is hiding behind Zen. "Relax, I won't hurt you. I even thank you for helping Allenz in the war. I saw you helping my son, so once again thank you." Arthur said as he put his hand forward to ask Iris not to be afraid.

Iris looked at Zen, like asking for approval from the brown man. Nodding at Iris, Iris tried to grab Arthur's hand slowly, then held the thirty-year-old's hand.

Arthur smiled with Iris accepting him. When Ford asks about Iris, Arthur explains that Iris is an ancient creature from hundreds of years ago, who hates the demon race, and she helps during the war, I have been with Zen for a long time.

In Zen's heart, he felt guilty again for lying to Arthur and Ford for the second time. Ford who understood that was relieved and did not need to be vigilant again.

"But at least Zen, you give him clothes." Ford said he saw Iris, who looked naked. Opening the cloth that covered him, Ford gave the cloth to Iris to cover the body of the little girl-like creature.

"Okay, little girl. You want to come with us fishing?" Asked Arthur who squatted down for his height to match Iris.

Iris looked interested, seen on her face.

"Okay, let's go fishing." Arthur said, holding Iris. "Because you're not wearing footwear, let me carry you." Lanjur Arthur continues the journey

Looking at Arthur who was already walking, Zen and Ford also followed them from behind. As he stepped, Ford spoke. "Zen you're weird, you don't have a partner yet, but you're like a father to that girl." Said Ford who spoke and left Zen speechless after hearing Ford's words just now.

Pensive for a while, Zen chased after Arthur and the others.

After chasing them, Zen asked what kind of lake they had come to. "By the way, about the lake we're going to visit. What's the place like?"

Hearing Zen's question, Ford answered if anyone had found a small lake. But good and lots of fish there, the place also has a beautiful view.

When getting a little picture of the lake that was discussed, Arthur stopped due to the presence of a foreign object that was quite a lot in front of them and was rusty.

Zen and Ford who followed Arthur and Iris saw what Arthur saw.

"It-it's... " Zen saw what they saw, he looked up a little, there was a sign of a path that was slightly covered with vines.

Iris who saw what was in front of her only spoke one word while pointing at the thing in front of them. "Car!'

Many cars lined up straight in front of them, which already looked broken and rusty. Not even a few are already covered in wild plants. Zen realized that they were in the middle of a highway that had already turned into a wilderness.looking a little upwards there was a sign of a large road direction, which was, sign the direction to the river Mleczna and the big city of Warsaw.

Turning around, Zen read another sign in the same language, Polski, the native language of Poland. Which led to their former place, the city of Radom.
