Chapter 92 - CH 75: I KNOW WHO YOU ARE (2/2)
”Kuuu!!! FINALLY!! Do you know how many times I watched this festival while wishing I was in their place? I am sure you must understand me.”
”Nop. I don't really care about it.”
The face Isana made was pretty hilarious. Internally, Kuroha couldn't help but sigh, once again, he never really paid attention to most heroes and heroes related schools such as U.A. Even when Mirio joined he never watched the festival.
After that, Isana fell strangely silent. Kuroha could see that he had something to say but didn't know how to do it. Still, it wasn't as if he was hurried for time, and the only time he felt silence was uncomfortable was when it was Himiko who was silent.
After a while, Inasa finally opened his mouth,
”Say, Kuroha what do you think of what happened recently?”
Kuroha paused a little before understanding what Inasa meant by that day.
Officially it was known as The Massacre of Saitama or TMS for short since it happened in that city. But, some netizens, mostly people completely in Chunni mode gave cheesy names such as D-day, or Sabbat of Devils. One even went as far as calling it the apocalypse. Truthfully, he didn't care about how it was called. He just knew that it was a day he never forgets.
”I don't understand your question.”
Inasa didn't look at kuroha. He was looking at his hand before clenching it tightly.
”You know...Some of my friends from Middle school were doing an outing there. Yesterday, I was informed that two of them died, while the third one was saved by Devil.”
Kuroha tilted his head.
(The world is really small. To think I would save one of his friends.)
Inasa continued without stopping, ”I think that what Devil did was really admirable. He is a true hero. He might have killed but I'm sure that it was because he didn't have a choice. He must be a really awesome guy!!”
Kuroha listened to all that with a dispassionate expression. He didn't care about the curses of praises that were showered on him. Perhaps if it was Himiko or Nighteyes praising him he might have felt happy? Anyways, he had a realization while killing and torturing those people.
Could he really talk about evil and justice when what he did wasn't much better? Killing is a sin. A sin stays a sin no matter for what reason it was done. But Kuroha didn't plan to surrender himself either. So, what did it mean? It was then that he understood. He never really cared about justice and the like.
He didn't kill evil people because what they did was bad and evil. No. He simply killed them because he didn't like what they're doing. It was as simple as that. He didn't care about justice, he didn't care about morality, he didn't care about right or wrong. He was just a selfish and hypocritical bastard with a zest of nihilism and knew it all syndrome, and...He didn't care.
(*Sigh* My mental stability is really slipping back to how it was a few years ago. I really need to enter the throne later and speak with Madness.)
”...roha...Uroha...KUROHA!!!”
He snapped back to attention before letting out a sheepish smile. He didn't feel sorry, but he had to at least play the part,
”Sorry, I was lost in thought. Let me say that I am sorry for your loss. Still, I am also happy that at least one friend managed to survive. I hope he isn't too rattled.”
Inasa let out a bright smile,
”That guy is pretty sturdy. He is just a little bruised.”
After that, they talked a little bit, before Kuroha finally decided to go back. They didn't talk about Devil anymore after that. Right now, he wasn't that much in the mood to go see Rei. She still was mostly stable, but who knew what could provoke another problem? He didn't want her to see her in bad form.
As he walked he began to enter back deep into his thought. Sometimes being alive and being able to think was such a pain. He wished to simply be able to sleep and fall into the abyss of his own mind. He knew he could fall unconscious. But the first time he did, he was on the verge of death after suffering from a super explosion. Not easy to replicate.
Finally, he reached a park and stopped to buy some juices or a yogurt. He wasn't thirsty, but something cold would make him feel better. It was when he was about to pay that his phone began to vibrate. He opened it and was surprised to find that it was an unknown number,
”Hello, It's Kuroha Hayate. Who are you?”
”...”
”Hello. No one there?”
The person on the other side stayed silent before a beautiful feminine voice finally answered him,
”...You don't know who I am, but...I know who you are.”
(AN: So.. With this I have now written 75 chapters, 14 interlude and one prologue. For a total of 90 chapters. Frankly I would have never thought that I would have reached so far when I began this story.
Anyway I have an announcement to make. Once I reach chapter 100, I plan to open a ******* or coffee and add my PayPal. After all writing every day despite school and all that isn't easy. What more with hundreds chapters I think I have proven to be serious in my writing since I have always respected my weekly goal. Don't worry. Even if I receive nothing, I will not change my current schedule and will always post 5 chapters each week and bonus chapter depending on my rank on WN. I just hope that you guys find my work worthwhile enough to put some money into it. )
