Chapter 22
I gulp as soon as I saw the sight. I need to remain call…. Calm down.. deep breath… inhale…
Closing my eyes, I can't… in any bit or inch feel calm at all.
“What the… fuck is… ”
My mind was disturbed when a tapping sound came running to my ears. Looking at the person of where that steps belongs, I saw Kael covered with blood all over his body.
.

“What is this?“
Looking at me with an innocent eyes, it was as if I was talking to a child who did no wrong at all. I really don't know what I should do.
This fine place was now covered with tomato sauce which I suspected to be blood a while ago.
”I saw it on the screen… the man cut the thing“
He pointed out the television that he was watching. Looking at the clock, it was already morning. Don't tell me he didn't sleep at all and watch movies all night?
Looking at the window, even that was braided and all. Did he also copied what those actors did?
”You can't just—“
I was left speechless as soon as I saw his hand hold a dark thing that is like threads and it is similar to what worms did.
”Kael… what in the world is that?“
With a frown in my face, my eyes widened when he show me that weird stuff. Wait… this is familiar..
I feel like… I have seen this before. This kind of hands that can manipulate shadows in his will, making different things using that power, an all around weapon…
Why did I not remember this?
Is it because of the fact that his name isn't really much said in the story? Sadly… he is also not a playable character. Just an awesome character that is needed in the plot of the story.
Who would have thought that the one in front of me is none other than the most important character in the IKINOBIRU??
This brat, he is the one that would save Saypher from the Queen of the ice fortress.
”You mean this?“
Manipulating those things so free, he seems to have a good control in it. But…
Can you mind putting it aside! That thing itself is dangerous! There is no possible way it isn't the case!
But…a great power is a harmful weapon for the beholder.
”Please don't play with it carelessly Kael…“
”Sorry…“
Hah… first Migo, then Kheina… then this brat. Is it just me or am I seeing lots of characters that have a big role in the game?
Hah… but unlike those two, this kid is not with Saypher. Hah… it is not as if I can just let this kid be. There are tons of monsters outside. He is also seems to lack in many information that he need.
Still, compared to yesterday, I can say that he did improved tons. Remembering our conversation… he really did improve a lot.
”Wait… why is the door open?“
I exclaimed rushing towards the fire exit. It was locked when I go to sleep. Why is it open—
Holy mother refrigerator!
Gulping, I can't hide how surprised I was to see such sight.
”About that…“
Kael mumble looking at the cd's of scattered on the floor.
Did I just get my self in luxury or I just make my death flag run at me faster?
Isn't he a monster level companion?? But to think that he would die… is… is that queen of the ice fortress that strong?
Growl
”Hungry“
He said smiling at me like what he just did was play. But the truth is, he just massacre those undeaf outside… leaving nothing but cold and scattered body parts…
This kid…
He isn't a simple kiddo at all
”Sure… let's have breakfast…“
”Thank you“

Kheina POV
”Ah!“
“You are noisy too”
That makes the woman flinch in surprise. Hiding the weapon I was holding, it is not as if I would hurt them
Idiot…
Only animal would kill those who helped them
I bought recovery potions to make my fatigue went away. I know that that sudden commotion makes us in this state…
Closing my eyes, I can sense no other creatures. So that is all of them. What a bunch of noisy beings.
Walking out of the place, I need to find brother Ethan as soon as posible. He may look like it but—
Remembering his face when I saw him looking at the girl I killed… I can't help but shudder at that thoughts.
Did I really do something bad? Is it really fine for me to kill that sister of the woman…?
“Woosh”
An arrow caught my attention as it walk pass through my eyes. If it serves me right, it even cut some of my hair…
“Are you out of your mind?! Watch your back!“
Migo shouted as I realized that there was a swinging rope with a sharp edge hitting my direction. If not for his arrows stabbing the rope at the wall then it would probably hit me wounded.
Should I thank him?
Looking at his face who seems to belittles me, I am kind annoyed at some point.
Throwing him a bottle of recovery potion, I saw him easily catching it with his hand. Maybe I should throw it a little bit faster. Tch…
”You two are here, just as I thought“
Saypher came
”Where is Brother Ethan? He is not with you? Saypher?“
”Ethan? Why would he be with me?“
And that night, we didn't see any sight of him being around. Not even a glimpse of his shadow.
”Are you really sure he is still around? What if he is in danger?“
”Only minions are out here. I sense no big rival at all. Just kill any single undead beings you see. That would be good“
Migo on the other hand didn't say anything at all. He seem to be thinking about something.
”Are you worried?“
I asked as I lay my back beside the chair where he is seating. He seems to not understand what I meant. He didn't respond at all.
Did he hear me or he is just making me look stupid?
With my mouth ready to make him annoyed, I hear his sound voice speaking to me.
”A night have passed and he still shows no sign of showing up. Is he still alive?“
Judging by his words, maybe he is close with brother Ethan. Is he his real brother?
”Is brother Ethan your big brother?“
Looking at me with that confused eyes, it was as if I said something bad.
”Isn't he our brother? He… is a reliable person. He may be clumsy at some point and is a problem magnet…“
Chuckling, he seems to remember some good memories.
”I am envious “
Migo might be confused but… I envy him for having fun memories to remember. Compared to me whose memories with my father is him leaving me alone, protecting me from those monsters… and… me… killing the sister of the one thta helped us…
”Are you… “
”What?“
”Nothing. Never mind it. It is not something serious as all“
”If you want to say something, say it. Before it is too late to find an answer. You never know what happens in your life… even if if may seems calm… there is no guarantee that it would last long“
Migo seems to speak something so deep. I don't get why he seems to make me not have any regrets of not speaking what I wanted to ask… but… anyway, it would not hurt at all if I ask his opinion
”Do you think that, it was a good… no… it was… how do I put it in words. The sibling of the woman who saved us, even if she is already a zombie… is it… bad of me to kill her?“
Silence…
That is what I recieved. The anticipation of getting response from him is swallowing me whole. I want to know what his answer will be
Am I wrong in what I did? Am I at fault for killing her? The pain of seeing their eyes makes me feel sick. I have no idea if it was just my imagination or if it really did happen.
I really don't know what I should do. What I should think… I… I…
”So you are worried about that“
He stated. Making me have this heavy feeling in my heart.
”If I was in your place, I would also kill her. With no regret“
That is the word I expected to hear. He was the one who killed the older sister after all… but…
”This world is no longer the world we used to have. It is different. Completely different than the calm place we used to live. Even in more chaos than the places full of poor people“
Is it just me or the wind was so fast that it makes his hair waves a little. Even the dried leaves falling from the tree not far from us makes me notice how the wind seems to make them dance.
”It was inevitable to not kill them. It is now a world that is like a jungle. Whether you kill the
first, or be killed by them“
Smiling bitterly… his eyes was sparkling but… why is there a sadness in it. I can't understand…
