The Crisis World XX

Chap. 53: New member of Black Rain, Kurobane May

Tiinite…

The alarm on my phone sounded. It was morning and it was time for me to go to school. For some reason, this morning was very peaceful. No mission calls or anything like that. Hah.I want to enjoy this morning even longer before getting ready for school.

Gumpraaang…

And my beautiful and calm morning was shattered instantly along with the noise earlier.

"Aarrrgghh!! Who is disturbing this morning calm that I rarely feel?!" I screamed out loud even though I knew it was useless.

"You'd better check what's going on downstairs" said Cecilia.

"Grgh…"

I walked downstairs and prepared to hit whoever made that noise. But when I just came down the stairs, the voice was heard again.

Praaang…

"Damn it! If you don't fight, don't ruin my house!"

I who had put up the pose ready for a fight was shocked due to the messy state of the basement. Pans and pans were on the floor, dirty plates were out of place and some were broken, and there was a little boy who was humming with his humming while ruffling my house.

"Tetsu... What are you doing…?" I said trembling with anger.

"Hn? Ah.. You're awake! Etto... What's your name again?"

He asked with a sinless face with a pencil already half-eaten in his mouth.

"My name is Iraya! And also why are you ruffling my house?!"

I screamed so loudly that it made Tetsu and Cecilia— possible to cover her ears.

"Not be so angry. I'm just looking for food in this place."

"Why do you mess it up?!"

"I'm not really, when I look around, all I find are pans and pans that are mostly charred. I don't like this charred skillet, its former burning crust makes its original flavor wane. And the plates and glasses in this place are made of glass and plastic on average. This place is really bad."

"I don't need that kind of information!"

My house has become like a garbage dump of dishes and pans.

"Oh my goodness .. Anyway quickly you sorted out. This house was already quite a mess even before you were, don't make it any worse."

"Eh~ but—"

"Hurry up!"

"Chih …."

Tetsu put on a sullen face, he then picked up the woks and plates that were strewn across the floor lazily and grumbled. But wait a minute..is this okay? I mean I should be friends with him so that our strength can be maximized, right. But how?

I thought for a moment and suddenly I had a brilliant idea.

"Nee, Tetsu …."

"Hn? What else?"

"What if we make a deal?"

"A pact?"

"Yep, the deal is very easy. If the house is clean by the time I get home from school, I'll give you a pack full of pencils."

"Re-really?!"

Tetsu who had been weak immediately excited and became active again. His eyes sparkled when he heard that I was going to give him a pack of pencils.

"But! You have to clear this up, otherwise our deal's off."

He nodded his head tightly.

"Don't forget to wash too!"

"Baik~"

He began to put plates and pans scattered on the floor. He did it quickly and agilely, like a professional. Hehe...in this way I can continue to build trust with him as well as neat house.

"You're telling a spirit to do homework? Moreover, he was the Spirit that used to be a legend in this land. Is your brain okay?" cecilia.

"Hehehe .. You won't understand Cecilia. It's like throwing two birds with one stone! Ahaha!"

"I really don't understand."

"Then you continue cleaning, I want to get ready for school" I said as I walked away.

"Ah ... be careful, because that's where—"

Gumpraa…

Before Tetsu finished his words, I had already fallen first due to the spilled oil that came from nowhere.

"—licin …."

"Why not say that !!!" I shouted, still on the floor.

**

"Grrghh .. It seems that Spirit only brings trouble!"

I went to school feeling upset. The people around me stayed away from me because I unconsciously gave off an annoying aura.

"Son, that person is like killing people" said one mother, telling her son to stay away from me.

"Mom, lately many criminals have escaped from prison. I'm afraid that one of them is near here."

"Yes Mom, I'm worried too."

Their eyes were pointing at me. What do they mean is me? These guys.

"Grgh …."

I looked back at them with a scary look. The two mothers screamed and ran away in fear.

"Hah .. Basic mothers."

"What the hell did you do?"

Suddenly someone called me from behind. I looked and saw a girl in school uniform with ponytail blonde hair and glasses—Herlin.

"What?"

"Some of that aura you're emitting makes you look like a kidnapper looking for prey."

"Where is there!"

I try to be normal again and improve my mood. And after that I did, Herlin finally wanted to walk beside me again.

The silence that occurred for a while was broken by Herlin by talking something about practice.

"Today we're training in an ordinary place."

"Yes." Yeah."

The silence came again after that question. Now it's my turn to break the silence by asking her to speak.

"You didn't invite senpai?"

"I wanted to take her, but I didn't know her phone number. So I'll ask you if I meet."

"so."

After that we did not speak again until school and during lesson time.

**

During the break, as usual me, Herlin, and Hasuki-san ate our meals together accompanied by jealous gazes from my other classmates. While I was enjoying their envious gazes, suddenly there was someone who walked into the classroom and looked for me and Herlin.

That person walked in casually as if it was his own class. An upperclassman who became a prima donna in this school with her achievements and beauty—Kurobane-senpai.

His arrival to this class became a question for the people in the class. What a person who is greatly admired in school comes to this ordinary class—although in this class there is Hasuki anyway, the school dream girl.

"So what do you want to tell me?"

"Ah about that, I asked for LINE id and senpai phone number. Because in the future it will be much needed," said Herlin.

"so."

Kurobane-senpai instantly took out her Smartphone and exchanged phone numbers and LINE id with Herlin. When he finished, he looked at me.

"Do you want to too?"

"Eh? Y-Yes could be."

After that I also got Kurobane-senpai's contacts.

"Is it just like that? Then I'll see you."

Kurobane-senpai just left right after the business was done. It seems that karema of indifference and elegance is what makes it the prima donna of the school.

"Nee Herlin, how did you contact her so she could get here?"

"That's …."

Herlin then recalled how he could contact Kurobane-senpai. He used his power and flew a small paper that he sent to Kurobane-senpai during class hours.

"… I used my powers."

"Heh~ …."

"Sa-Satou-kun …."

"Hn? Gekh!"

I didn't realize it, but my classmates especially the male ones suddenly surrounded me with a very close distance.

"You've got Kurobane-senpai's contact, haven't you?"

"Ti-No! It's not what you think! What he gave me was …."

I try to think quickly and answer whatever first comes to mind.

"… That's my debt list. Aye! That's my debt list to him! So he wants me to pay him immediately."

"You lied …."

It seems that their mind path is already unhealthy. I'm not safe here anymore. I slowly walked out of the class. They all followed like starving people.

"Ma-I'm sorry! But I can't give it to you!" I said while running away from class.

"Wait!"

"Give me his phone number too!"

That day, the break in class was not very conducive to me.

**

After a hard and tiring day at school, the time I was waiting for came. I don't know what else will happen later I don't know. For sure right now I want to take a shower and then take a short break before going to practice.

Czechoslovak…

"I'm home .. Eh?"

I was surprised when I entered the house. The house that was almost indistinguishable from the final garbage disposal, this time was completely clean and tidy. The floor is also shiny and fragrant from floor cleaners as well as giving off a fresh sensation when entering the house.

A little girl then came out of the living room to greet me.

"Welcome! Wow you're home!" Tetsu appeared with a cheerful face.

"Tetsu .. You did all this?"

"Mrs! As I promised!"

This spirit is truly reliable. I don't need to clean my house again from today. I already have the perfect housekeeper!

"So you consider him a housekeeper?" ask Cecilia flat.

"Jadi—"

"Hmm?"

Tetsu suddenly spoke with a timid face and a low tone.

"—what about your promise this morning?"

A promise? Earlier morning? Did I promise anything to her? All the events in the school suddenly made my memory ability decrease. I also try to remember the promise that we might have made.

After trying to remember it, I finally managed to remember our promise this morning.

"Akhs! I forgot …."

Tetsu's expression instantly changed. The joy that has been radiating since I came home suddenly changed when I said I forgot to buy it. Tears came out of his eyes.

"Ti-No way …."

"Tetsu-chan! D-Don't cry! I'll buy it! I'll buy it! Waita minute! Please wait a minute!"

"When I-I've worked hard …."

"You make a little girl cry, you're the worst" Cecilia said.

"I'll be right back!"

Without changing uniforms or anything else, I rushed to the nearest ATK store to buy a pack of pencils.

Kurobane Mei PoV's

After being someone who had always been admired in school, at home I was nothing more than a fragile girl. Who cried almost every day to see his father who was in a coma.

"I'm home."

No one responded and welcomed my arrival and it has become common for me. Passing the silence of the remains of the day without entertainment or anything else.

I rushed to my room to change clothes and clean up the house. Although the house is not too dirty, but I continue to clean it every day. When I'm done, I want to relax a bit by watching TV. But the hunger in my stomach said something else.

I walked towards the kitchen and checked the dining room cabinet whether there was anything I could eat or not. Only a few cups of instant ramen are left there with some other types of vegetables.

"It looks like a ramen cup is enough" I said as I picked up a ramen cup.

I poured hot water into the ramen cup and closed it for three minutes. Suddenly my smartphone rings.

LINE~

I took it and read it. 'It's Herlin. Immediately come to the place I will give you' After I finish reading the first message, there is a second message in the form of google maps. He gave me the location where he is now.

"Hah .. It seems I can't rest for long" I sighed.

I ate the cup of ramen quickly and immediately prepared to leave. Before I left, I said goodbye to my father.

"I'll go first, Dad."

**

I walked following the instructions given by Herlin. I kept walking all the way to a place I had never explored before. It is located on the back hill of the city.

"Is it right here?"

I then entered a path to continue going deeper. After walking deeply enough, I could hear the sound of screaming

It was the shouting voice of the man I gave my previous number—Satou-kun and his friend Herlin who were in the opposite position.

The two of them are very focused even my presence is currently ignored by the two of them. Satou-kun's dirty and breathless condition was inversely proportional to Herlin who was still clean and standing relaxed.

"Where was your ability against Hayashi back then?"

"Hah .. hah ... noisy!"

"I thought I could already acknowledge your power. It turns out you're still far from those words."

"Well .. I'll get it all out now."

Bzztt…

Satou-kun pulled out electric sparks from all over his body. A strong and sinister aura was also felt around him.

"I won't just shut up."

Zii…

Herlin also did not remain silent. The aura he released was also no less terrifying than Satou-kun. The ground around it lifted up and formed chunks of land with varying sizes, some even larger than my body size.

"A-Ano .. Etto .. I've come ..." I said but they didn't mind.

"Be prepared!" say them simultaneously.

The two of them then started attacking. Satou-kun who darted quickly, left a trace of electric spark on the ground that he had poked before. While Herlin with dozens of chunks of stone crashing with the speed of bullets.

I who saw them and felt neglected felt a little upset. Then I took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

"YOU HEAR ME NOT ?!!"

"Eh?"

After I shouted, the training—or more appropriately called their fight stopped. Satou-kun still saw electric sparks slowly disappearing and Herlin who released ESPer power on the chunks of stone, then looked at me in silence.

"ah! Senpai has arrived, welcome."

"Nn, welcome."

They casually greeted me after almost killing each other as if it was nothing.

"Etto .. may I ask you something?" my many.

"What's that?"

"For example, I didn't stop you guys, what would happen?"

The two of them looked at each other, then Satou-kun answered my question while scratching his back head.

"Ahaha...it's possible that this place will be destroyed and we will have to move the meeting place with senpai. Isn't that right, Herlin?"

"Tea." Herlin called the word in a flat tone that should have been done with a funny expression.

"Huh …." I really don't understand these kids.

"Since senpai has come, how about we do the exercises? Is senpai ready?" ask Herlin.

"Y-Yes."

What's the matter? Why did I suddenly become afraid after seeing the fight they both had earlier. But I reflex just say yes.

"Then I will buy a drink," said Satou-kun who immediately left.

"Then can we start?"

"All right."

"Senpai can direct any attack on me and I will just avoid it. So try to be serious, huh?"

"I understand."

I've never been scared like this before. But after he said that he would only avoid my attack, I felt a little relieved.

I took a deep breath and let out a fairly powerful aura. A gentle breeze gradually turned into a storm that was under my control. At least I'll try to hurt him.

After 30 minutes of attacks, no one hit him. All my energy was drained and I was at my limit. I was lying on the ground just like that signifying that I had given up.

Herlin who saw that came straight for me along with Satou-kun. He offered me a canned drink so that my fatigue disappeared a little.

"Pai suck too, yeah."

I who heard that from him accidentally spouted the drink I just drank. No one's ever told me that before.

"W-I suck?!"

"If compared to Iraya at the first time to do it, the distance of senpai ability is quite far."

"Herlin, your words ..." said Satou-kun.

"That's it."

I looked at him as a cold kid. But I didn't expect that his mouth could be this sharp to someone older than him. Children today are cruel!

After finishing my drink, I returned to the ground. Herlin and Satou-kun also did the same. We both looked at the sky that was starting to be orange at this time.

"This is just the beginning, don't be so pessimistic!" Satou-kun.

"Yes, I get it. I trained him anyway, so I'll make sure he doesn't fail."

Seeing them think positively like that, inexplicably an amused feeling attacked my stomach which made me unable to help but laugh.

"Hehe .. You two are really cute little sisters."

Along with the twilight sky that turned dark. We ended the training that day.
