They found another hideout right after they lost their mansion and moved their belongings to a new modern villa.
I think these people are super rich or maybe money and luxury houses don't matter anymore inside this zone?!
And about Rounin...We still don't know where he disappeared to.
Arima's words were kind of shocking to me, the fact that the one that shoot me was Rounin feels so unreal even though i don't remember anything from that day yet but...
He was so nice to me.
When i was drowning in these thoughts i was in one of the comfortable rooms of the new modern villa with Arima's younger sister, Asuka styling my hair.
I've always had this messy bangs and i wouldn't really show my forhead that much but she gave me a fresh hairstyle that showcased my forhead a bit more.
And above all, they forced me to wear these uniforms with the same three colors of black, red and white however they have different styles in their own unique way for the five of us.
“Allright, i'm done.” Said Asuka with a proud voice as if she was satisfied with the way she styled my hair.
“Um...Thank you.”
“You actually look like idols now, Does that mean i'm a makeup artist now?!” Asuka was saying this with a bright smile on her face.
“Anyways, Let's go outside, they're waiting for you.”
***
Arima and Toma were waiting in the big terrace with their unique uniforms as well, changing their appearances a bit, Arima tied his hair up while Toma had his curly bangs behind his ears and finally showed his eyebrows, Rokoro was nowhere to be seen though.
All this makes me wonder...Did they get all dressed up for some kind of event that i'm unaware of?
“Wow, you look so good today.” Said Toma.
I see...i think my style was so boring with the same basic white t-shirt that i was wearing all the time, huh?!
“I think i don't know who this new person is.” Toma was the kind of person that would make funny comments a lot, especially about me, that little.
“You guys better not forget who's efforts made him turn into this heart throb ” Asuka was proudly claiming my handsomeness as her own achivement too.
I almost forgot to ask them why we were so dressed up in the first place.
“But where are we supposed to go with the way we're dressing up like this?!”
Arima was the one that responded to my question.
“We're going to hunt the monsters.”
“What???!!”
***
They really brought me out in the middle of danger and i couldn't really tell what part of the city we were standing.
It might've been because i lost my memories but the buildings, that mansion or even that station, all looked so unfamiliar to me.
More importantly, these guys were in the middle of the wide street waiting for Rokoro.
“Wow my shadow looks taller than me.” Toma had some kind of height complex even though he wasn't even that short.
“Isn't Rokoro a little late?!” asked Arima.
“What if he's eaten by Ostovar? Hahaha.”
Wow...they're so...how do i put it? Careless? Unbothered? Crazy?
Then Rokoro's voice was heard before we even hear his footsteps.
“Hey Rokoro you have to see my tall shadow.” said Toma the moment he saw Rokoro coming towards us.
“What was going on? Did you find out something.”
“There are no dangerous outcasts out there so we can begin.”
I see...so he wasn't present because he was checking on this issue, but what do they mean by 'we can begin'.
Suddenly Arima brought out a knife and it was as if he used magic tricks because it appeared out of nowhere in his hands.
Whenever i see these scenes i can't help but to be amazed, it never gets old to my eyes.
Then he cut his finger and it left me speechless, the blood started to drop from his finger's scar on the ground.
Is he doing this on purpose? But why?!
I couldn't say what was going on anymore and everyone were standing there as if they were waiting for something.
“Genji Taio.” Arima called my name in a serious tone.
“What?!” i replied immaditually.
“Today we'll not just hunt monsters, we're here to awaken your powers.”
I haven't even seen one of them from the moment i woke up in this messed up world.
“Are you scared?” Arima asked.
For some reason...I wasn't really that scared anymore.
I want to have strengh, from the moment i stepped foot outside that villa i got attacked by different kinds of creatures, heck i was even almost killed by a mere plant.
In that moment i was full of determination, i wanted to learn, i wanted to get stronger and i wanted to know that how this new world works...!
I want to bring my memories back...
And i want to turn everything back to normal.
“No, i'm not scared at all, i made up my mind, I'm cooperating with you until i gain back my memories.”
“So that's your answer?! Allright.”
I'm prepared for any types of monsters...If Arima thinks my power awakens this way then i'll do as he says.
But nothing was showing up even after some time that passed.
“Well, Isn't it a little weird? They must have sniffed the blood already but not a single monster is appearing which is unusual. ” Said Rokoro.
So Arima used his blood to bring the monsters out?
“Does that mean they drink blood like vampires or something.” i asked.
Arima turned his head to answer me but, They all froze.
A giant sized outcast but with different appearance compared to the ones i saw in that station was right in front of me without me even noticing when that thing got in there.
From the expressions of Arima, Rokoro, Asuka and Toma i could tell they were also surprised and couldn't act on time because that outcast was too fast and it came out of nowhere as if it teleported.
Before i even blink, that giant outcast threw me something around twenty meters away from where i was standing and made my ungaurded and unprepared body hit a building's wall and windows.
That part of the building got hardly damaged by the force that was used, there was broken glasses all over the place.
I was hit hard i could barely even move a finger.
Right after i was hit i fainted on the ground but that thing got in front of my unconscious body.
Arima and the guys were shocked, It was written all over their faces, they looked scared because this situation wasn't something they were expecting.
I see...so they didn't see this coming too huh? This isn't part of their plan? So does this mean i'm screwed up?!
Blood covered half my shirt and that was where Arima, Asuka, Rokoro and Toma panicked even more.
“Taio!!!” all of them shouted at once but no one even got one step closer to me.
“Rokoro...It's strange, i can't move my body.” said Toma with a shaky voice.
“Is this strong pull that i feel in my body that outcast's doing?” asked Asuka
“This is not a normal outcast, It's too huge for a normal one.” Said Arima.
That outcast standed right before my lifeless body and as long as his big sharp teeth that was out of his mouth started to move a crazy ear scratcher sound was heard and it was so loud that made everyone cover their ears immaditually.
“Ugh...What the hell...!” that's what Toma said while covering both his ears and closing his eyes out of fear because he couldn't dare looking at that weird outcast.
“It sounded like if every bad noises in the world make a loud sound all at once.” Rokoro had the same expression as Toma's however he still looked calmer than him.
That outcast with his brain sticking out his head, brought his right hand forward as if he wanted to comminucate using his hand.
“Siroloya shifutansa Delord.”
In a complete disbelief those were the words that oucast spoke.
Arima, Asuka, Rokoro and Toma were on the verge of losing their mind and that was obvious from the facial expressions they were making.
“That...that thing spoke just now?” asked Asuka.
“I thought outcasts can't talk? What the hell is really happening?!” following Asuka, Toma also had too many questions spinning in his head.
“The real question is what the hell was he saying? Could y'all understand that language?!” asked Rokoro.
I somehow didn't lose my whole consciousness because something had forcibly kept me awake and i could clearly hear that outcast's words...That voice...It was clearer than water and i could understand every single word that outcast was saying.
“Wake up, DELORD.”
That was what that outcast said and it crossed every cell inside my ears as if i was born just to hear this sentence, i felt strange and every cell in my body was trying to react to that outcast's words.
“Wake up DELORD, let's rule the world together as we promised.”
Those were the last words i heard from that outcast before i lose my consciousness completely.
