Chapter 38: crucial conversation

Chapter 38: crucial conversation

Aug 28, 2026

Numerous outcasts were surrounding them from corner to corner without losing a blind spot, making it harder for them to escape or even think about such strategy.

“Whoops...we have uninvited guests!!!”

“What are we supposed to do now?!” Asuka asked while she was stunned by what she was witnessing.

“That outcast...where did he disappear to?!” Rokoro showed concern and enquired for an answer.

They roled their eyes to find that gigantic outcast just to find him sitting down on one of the big conceretes that was fallen down from before.

“Are you kidding me?! The situation appears so negligent to him!!!” Toma sounded super dejected saying that.

“If he think he can play with us then why not cooperate?!” as Arima informed the guys about his concept the other guys demonstrated mixed up reactions; “Pardon?!”

Not long after Arima started to run towards the armed outcasts waiting to hunt them one by one.

“Is it okay to eliminate these Rounin?!”

Arima especifically asked that question mentioning Rounin's name which made Rounin quite off guard but he had no choice but to answer with no hesitation; “Yeah, no issue with that.”

Arima rapidly arrived at an spot where it appeared to have more outcasts collectivity standing still.

“He choose to attack their strongest point rather than their weaker one?!”

“If he defeats the enemy's strongest spot then we'll be certain we can do as well as him.” Asuka implied that statement since he knew his brother better than anyone else.

That Arima's move alone cheered up the others and altered the concept of their mindset real quick.

All of them summoned their magical abilities for a same action as Arima's.

Arima started to count the number of the outcasts he was killing at that moment which made it more competitive for the other guys too.

“ten, eleven, twelve...”

“It's not fair, you started way sooner than us.” Toma was fighting the outcasts yet found a way to conplain in the middle of the battle but Rokoro tried to make it worse for him by pouring salt on his wound; “Your loss, this is the reward for the most courageous one in the team.”

They were busy fighting the outcasts without realizing someone was missing in their community and that individual was no one but Rounin.

He didn't join his companions and was rather observing something more intriguing which was the gigantic outcast's presence.

The outcast stood up and walked towards Rounin since he sensed Rounin's thirst for a fair battle.

As he walked he tried to communicate with Rounin; “Ritsu bu nitaisa.”

Rounin couldn't understand a word and answered quickly; “I don't speak shitty language, speak japanese!!!”

“Ahahaha.” the outcast bursted out laughing loudly and made Rounin stunned in his place.

“You humans are way too cocky.” the outcast started to speak japanese with an evident pronunciation.

Rounin thought to himself; 'so he could understand us all way along?!'

***

I wasn't curious of what that guy, Iwata Ray required from me, rather i was craving for a way to get me and Yuji out of that icy hell.

“Let me ask you a question, Taio.”

“...”

“Do you know what's the humanity's most efficiant invention?!”

What is he up to?! Is this some kind of quiz?!


“I don't know...maybe technology?!”

“False, it's language! We can talk, share emotions, explain ourselves, transfer information and write history books just by that. Something that these creatures don't want us to have!!!”

“What do you mean?!”

“You've seen outcasts right?! That's the version of us which these creatures actually want. Silent and submissive with no will of their own.”

At that moment i was not aware of how crucial that conversation was becoming.

“Taio, i have one last thing to ask of you.”

I was thrilled of what would come out of his mouth next and thought how i wasn't ready to collect so much information all at once.

“Why did we not turn into outcasts?!”

I was never asking myself that question until then or could it be i overlooked it on purpose?!

Why did it not cross my mind before?! Why did i not ask Delord about it?!


“What are you trying to say?!”

“I'm asking you Taio, why did we not turn into outcasts, i thought you'd know better?!”

My knees buckled and i fell to the ground.

The shocking part was not Iwata's words but the fact that i guessed how i might have been a big role of the great tragedy that changed everyone's destiny.

“Then if what you imply is correct, what am i supposed to do?!”

Iwata smirked and continued; “Simple, the first step is to get ride of someone.”

“And who might that be?! Do i know them?!”

I realised i somehow came to a conclusion that if taking an individual's life would help fix everything back to normal then that was a fair prize even if that meant i had to provide my own life.

“That person is no other than Rounin!!!”
