The Last Era's

Act 42 [Tu San]

After going through a series of treatments, I decided to go home and see my mother in the hospital. At the hospital I asked people there about my mother's room. But his name is not there.

The last news I got was about his funeral in a public cemetery. I was surprised not to hear the news. I repeatedly asked the news to my neighbors. Their answer was the same, "He's gone".

With a gloomy face I walked home occasionally thinking about everything that had passed. Losing friends, friends, family, even the future. On the way I saw my school being rebuilt.

On the wall was written a row of names of children who died there, including me. Of course I was written there because I disappeared back then. I looked at the robots working there with a blank look. Suddenly someone called my name from behind, Tu San.

"Oct!"

I just glanced a little.

"Hey, I thought you were dead" "I thought your curse saved you" he patted me on the shoulder.

"Hmmh", "Where are the others?"

"...", Tu San did not reply and simply threw away his face.

"Where have you been all these months?", Tu San changed the subject.

"Month?!", I was surprised.

"Four months since the incident", "Have you forgotten the day?"

"Maybe".

His presence makes me even more moody. I finally decided to leave Tu San without leaving any more messages.

"Okta, Wait!", "I forgot to give you this letter", Tu San ran up to me while thrusting me a shabby paper.

"What is this letter?"

"From your mother", "Before death".

"Mother.."

I looked at him inside. Until I only realized because Tu San uses a robotic hand on his right hand.

"Tu San", "Where are your hands?"

"Ah is just a hand", "At this time mechanical hands have also been a lot", he replied casually.

I hugged her tightly while crying loudly. Fortunately the road there is quite quiet because the sun will set. So I can vent all my emotions.

2 Years ago before my element appeared

At that time Tu San was just a nerd at the beginning of the semester. He's been a quiet kid since middle school. He is also a man if told to do something. Therefore, his friends often treat him like a tool including bullies.

There was a ball game at school. One of his friends kicked the ball too far out of school. Of course, he was told to take it out.

"She's stupid or how", "Once out of school, it'll be a problem with attitude values".

"Let it go, he did" they boasted.

Tu San did not care about it even though their conversation was quite loud. When he was about to get out he was confronted by the school security guard. The security guard didn't let him out because he didn't believe the reason.

Repeatedly he tried to get out, ranging from tricking the security guard to disguise. Because it's been too long to come back. His friends came to see him.

Not to help negotiate. They just ended the play and revealed the existence of Tu San there. Some of them even made fun of him with hilarious and weak taunts.

It just so happened that I was passing by for skipping lessons for cantin. I accidentally saw Tu San leaning against the wall and almost crying. I came to see him slowly so as not to be seen by the school security guard.

"Hey, what's your name?", I asked.

"Tu.. San.", he answered a little frightened to see me.

"Why are you crying?", "I'm not terrible", I asked.

"No-no", "I want to take the ball outside, but it's intercepted by the security guard" he replied.

"That's all?", "Okay, you distract him", "While I'm going to go get it".

"I understand".

"But remember, don't tell my position to my homeroom teacher".

"b-good".

We launched our mission. Tu San went to ask the school security guard, until he wanted to be spoken to. While I sneak out take the ball.

Once the ball is obtained and turned towards the school. I met the teacher who was standing in front of the school folding his hands. And yep, after we got soaked we were both told to pluck the grass in the garden after school.

"Pardon me, Okta", I didn't mean this.

"Calm down", "I'm used to this".

"Again, San", "Aren't you aware that you're using them?"

"Hmmh, yeah, I know that.."

"Then why don't you fight?", "Are you scared?"

"...", he fell silent.

"I answer it as yes", "Listen yes, if you are afraid of something, you will not be able to move forward later",

"Never say", "You and them and I are the same, a student", "Why should you keep giving up?"

"October..".

"What's? Are you surprised I'm this good?"

"Yes, I've never seen such advice before".

"That's disappointing", "I guess nerds like you find it in articles or books".

"After all, Tu San do you want to join me?", invite me while thrusting my hand.

"No, I still want to be the same kid".

"Being a coward?", "What if tomorrow you go to work and meet the people the handyman asks for?"

"I will definitely be used..."

"So how? You might be shifting a bit, but this is also for your future".

"Yes.as long as it's not excessive, it doesn't matter I guess", Tu San shook my hand.

"Good, your cleverness will be of use to us".

From then on, Tu San's confidence began to emerge. He was a nerd, but did not hesitate to fight if their treatment passed him. I said a little, but he was a little late. Even so, he remains my best friend.

.......

.......

"Have your hatred gone to them?", I asked as I walked home with Tu San.

"Who?"

"The ones who bullied you first?"

"Not really, I'm a little grateful because if they hadn't done that", "They wouldn't have made me meet you and you wouldn't have changed my frail old nature".

"Hahaha", "That's true"

"If you don't mind you being able to stay at my place for a few days" Tu San asked.

"That's okay", "After all I'm happy in my own house".

"Are you sure?", "The house is battered, not completely yet".

"So?!", "Nothing".

"Come to you".

We stopped at the bus stop that had the last departure bus in front of him. There was only the driver and the seat. Before boarding he gave me some money and his old phone.

"What is this for?", I asked.

"For you, as well as my thanks for what you did to me", he replied casually.

"What about your hand care?"

"Just calm down", "I know how to take care of him myself".

"Even after I take you to a fight that has made you lose your hand?"

"That's not how much to me" "Here you go, if you need help just use that thing to call me".

"Thank you so much Tu San", I invited him to jotos as a goodbye.

"Just like a friend", he replied with his snoot.

Tu San continued to stand staring at my bus that was going further and further with a happy look. His eyes seemed to show a proud and grateful look.

On the way home I read the letter.

.......

"Okta my son, I know you still live there, far between the stars and the dark universe. I'm writing this letter to tell you a secret that few people know about.

Actually I'm not your real mother. When you were one year old, there was a massive attack by monsters. At that time your mother was killed violently, and your father gave you to me. He asked me to take care of you like my own son.

Isn't it weird enough that your mom has cat whiskers while you don't? I can only remember your mother's name, Linda. But your father, he disappeared after that. That's all I can write. My life will not survive after this.

Okta, be a good boy.

Greetings from mom

Kuryakin's "

.......

After reading it, I cried. Even people who are not my real mother, are willing to take care of and take care of me with all their heart. After all the evil I've done, he's been patiently defending me. I'm so sorry for everything I've done. All I can do now is mourn my fate and the destruction of my future.

In the midst of this situation, the driver asked me to speak. He told me to move to the front seat. I've heard his voice before, a cop.

"I seem to know you?", "Are you that cop?"

"Right, good memory".

"Are you here to arrest me?", "Just do it", I said resignedly.

"Not really", "Since your house is destroyed, you seem to have to live in a mutant complex".

"The house is only for mutant humans isn't it?", my answer pretended not to know.

"Yes, I know you're one of them anyway".

"Wait a minute, who are you?", "How do you know about me?"

He took off his hat and showed orange fox ears poking out. His hair was long on his back. He looked at me with a serious face as he continued to drive the bus.

"Include Okta Kuryakin",

"My name is Fin Wyan".

"Do you know my mother?"

"Of course, more precisely the one closer to your father and mother first", "The red scarf is gone".
