As the morning sun rose, Tujitou woke up. Before he even opened his eyes, he smelled his surroundings. A familiar smell. The smell of herbs made into tea. He knew that this was due to Alexander. He then stretched his body and immediately sat up.
“Morning Tuj. Want a cup of tea?”
“Naah, I’m good. What time is it?”
“Should be around 7 or so. How you feeling?”, as Alexander asked him this question he immediately remembered the fetuses from the night before. He looked at his hands because it felt as if he could still feel them. Alexander took a final sip of his tea and threw the rest away.
“Go and get ready. You need to get home before phapha wakes up.”
“Yeah.”
A while later after Tujitou finished preparing for his departure. Alexander also seemed to be preparing something.
“Here. I made some food for you on your way back home. I made plenty, so make sure to leave some for phapha.”
“Thanks. Alex how much longer will you stay here?”
“I’ve been here for around 7 months, so 5 more to go and I’ll be back home.”
“5 months. Should be more than enough time to master my new moves. Just you wait. This time I’ll beat your ass”, Tujitou said as he waved Alexander goodbye.
“If you say so lil bro”, Alexander waved back. As Tujitou started walking away Alexander finally remembered something.
“Yo Tuj!”, Alexander shouted.
“Yeah?”
“Was the name of the professor Throsmore by any chance?”
“Yeah, I think so! How’d you know?”
“Never mind it! See you in 5 months!”
Tujitou was now quite a distance away from where Alexander was. He looked back, but he couldn’t see him anymore.
“Yeah, 5 months. 5 months should be enough”, Tujitou looked at his hands which were glowing a light red.
Tujitou was now finally out of the Roshigi forest. He looked up at the sky as he walked back home. He thought of all that had happened the past few days.
‘I’ll become strong enough to always protect my brother. I’m sure that if he becomes king, he’ll be able to save everyone’, Tujitou couldn’t contain his excitement and grinned.
“Isn’t my brother the coolest in the world?”
“I don’t know. Never met the guy.”
“Heh?” shocked, turned around and saw Moraña.
“What are you doing here?”
“I was on my way to your place.”
“How long have you been standing behind me?”
“ Since you came out of the Roshigi forest.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything?”
“I did. You just didn’t hear me. So what’s with the leopard?”
Tujitou then explained everything that had happened to Moraña.
“Really? And you didn’t even bother to ask me to tag along with you?”
“Sorry?”
“You know. Girls like it when you bring them to nice places”, as Moraña told Tujitou this, he got even more confused.
“What the fuck is going on?”, he mumbled.
“So you’ll bring me right?”
“Oh yeah yeah, sure I’ll bring you.”
“It’s a promise then”, Moraña walked in front of Tujitou. Tujitou looked at
Het en chuckled.
“You’re a weird one. You know that right?”
"Hmph", she pouted.
“By the way, let’s spar when we get home.”
“I know you missed me, but you even missed me kicking your ass?”
“We’ll see who’s ass is going to get kicked.”
“The leopard looks a bit heavy. Need some help?”
“Yeah, kid. Need some help?”
Tujitou immediately turned around and before he could even react a sledgehammer hit him on the side of his head. He falls down and he feels himself losing consciousness. He opens his eyes and sees Moraña fighting the thugs. One tried grabbing her, but she immediately froze his entire arm.
“Shit! This bitch is an unleveled!”
As he started to faint, he saw that Moraña looked at him. He tried pointing in her direction to warn her of the thug that was behind her, but before she could even realize his intentions she fell victim to the sledgehammer just as he did.
