Chapter 16 - Episode 16 - Abzuru Doom Remnant 2

Scene: On the road.

The Dreyja White Moon members are tied up with ropes

as Greg and Jakku secure them one by one.

Grakky:

Brother Kyu, thank you for protecting this side of the territory.

Luminus is very close to us.

Grakky:

If it's not disturbing you,

please come to our house.

Eiri (happy face):

Yes! If you want a job, I can hire you, Kyu!

Grakky:

Please accept this golden scroll.

It is signed by me and sealed with our family seal.

Eiri (happy):

You can be my guard if you'd like, Kyu!

Kyuen (smiling):

…

Grakky:

Eiri, don't ask too much. Kyu, please come to our house.

That scroll is recognized by every guard and martial artist in our city.

We would like to formally thank you with a private celebration.

Jin:

My lord, our carriages are nearby.

It seems they've noticed Miss Eiri is here…

Grakky:

Hmm…

Grakky:

One last thing, Brother Kyuen.

Are you from Luminus?

Kyuen:

By blood, I'm not, but I am a surviving member of the clan.

Grakky:

Ohoho!! Thank God!

So you are basically an ally! Hahaha!

Eiri:

Uuhhh… what's your age, Kyu?

Kyuen:

Fourteen. I'm turning fifteen in a few months…

Eiri:

We're the same age this year, hehe!

Jin:

My lord, they are arriving…

Grakky:

Okay. Please come to the city, Kyu.

Senior Jerry, we'll order and arrange the bounty.

Eiri (teary eyes):

Kyuuuhuhuhu…

Kyu and Jerry left the area…

Scene Change: Forest Area.

Dreyja Member – Vice Leader Guzoro, running in the midst of the forest.

Guzoro:

Shiit… the plan has failed!

Guzoro (thinking):

That kid—he's strong despite his age…

I heard rumors in the Luminus territory.

I didn't take them seriously since we had the numbers.

And those backup forces—they're all lying unconscious!

How?! That kid… who is he?!

Narration:

At his fast running pace, he didn't notice that

some mist-like energy had seeped into his hood and clothes.

Something that even a strong martial artist would not notice.

It was as if the energy was harmonizing

with the target's energy…

Then, someone suddenly spoke to him…

Voice (whispering in his ear):

Heeyy, Guzoro…

Guzoro:

!?.. Sir! I'm sorry I couldn't report quickly.

I'm running now—someone is following me!

Voice (whispering in his ear):

So, you have failed…?

Guzoro (fearful and frustrated):

Sir… something unexpected happened.

Also, the pill—Dreyja consumed it!

Voice (whispering in his ear):

Where is he now?

Guzoro (fearful and frustrated):

I don't know what happened to him, sir… I guess he got caught.

There's someone who interfered with our plan, and we fought him, but he's too strong.

Voice (whispering in his ear):

That leaves us no choice but to erase that group.

Guzoro (fearful and frustrated):

I… I… if that is your decision, sir…

Voice (whispering in his ear):

I'll wait for you at the territory.

Make sure to erase your traces before coming here.

Guzoro (fearful and frustrated):

Yes, sir…

Guzoro (shouting, running):

What went wrong?! Everything was perfectly planned!

Guzoro (thinking):

That kid in the territory…

I'll hunt you down—just you wait!!

Scene change: Unknown territory.

A hooded man with a hidden face, his eyes filled with anger and fury.

Scene Change: At the city.

Cola brought Maria safely to their house.

Maria (hugging Cola):

Thank you, Cola. I'm still shaken even now…

Cola feels a little pain.

The hug from the blue-lipped man at the entertainment house

slightly affects his muscles.

Cola (pained expression):

Krrgh!.. Aaahh..

Maria:

Oh, sorry, Mister Cola. I was carried away by my feelings.

This contract is already signed.

You can receive the payment at the Job House anytime…

Cola:

Thank you, miss mari.. next time again.

Cola started to walk and leave.

As he turned, he didn't notice that

his back pants had split halfway.

His yellow underwear was visible.

People around the area talking:

- Eeh! Yellow underwear!

- Maybe he did that intentionally…

- He's doing that for attention, right?

Cola (noticing):

Hey! Are you talking about me!?

As he turned to confront the women…

his pants split further, this time at the front!

Sounds: cracking… ssrrrkkk…

Women:

Kyaaahh!!!! Pervert!!…

Cola (face turning red):

Heey!!?

He runs quickly.

After a few minutes of running, he stops.

Cola (shouting):

Man! I've been staying in this city for 3 years!

My highest work is C-Level, and I can't even reach B!

I need a group!

He started to kneel and look at the sky…

Cola (shouting):

Oh heavens! Give me some kind of miracle!!

People around the area started noticing him.

Narration:

Cola, despite having the capacity for higher-level jobs,

remains cautious and stays in the city

because he supports his family and others from a small village.

His siblings depend on him, and there are also elderly,

abandoned people in the village whom he is helping.

Cola (thinking):

But I need to be careful… if I die on a high-level job…

No! I'm not weak. I already have three years of experience.

Cola:

I need to gather people for higher rewards!

Cola (shouting):

Watch me, people! I'll gather a group,

and our team will become famous and rich!!

People around:

- He's crazy…

- He seems familiar, like those robbers last month.

Cola (cold face, watching the people):

I'm not a robber…

Scene Change: Inside the cave, Kyuen's hideout.

Jerry:

Uuhhh… Kyuen, you're like a high-level professional cook!

Kyuen:

Thank you, Senior…

Fish, meat, and snake (prepared in a delicious way),

along with wild fruits and fruit juices, have also been prepared.

Narration:

In terms of natural resources, the mountains of Luminus are almost complete.

There are animals, waterfalls, fruits, and other exotic things…

You could live here without worrying about food!

Jerry grabs a big chicken leg and quickly eats it.

Jerry:

You even have fruit juice!

You should live with us in our hideout! Hahaha!

Kyuen:

Maybe someday, Senior… hehe…

Jerry:

Yeah, you need to hide for now…

You've given me information that can't be revealed yet…

Even the boss shouldn't know about it.

Jerry:

That Nagawo Clan… just you wait…

Oh, sorry… I need to enjoy this moment! Hahaha!

Scene Change: Dreyja White Moon Hideout, 9:00 AM.

It is in the middle of the forest, a little far from the city.

Ordinary people cannot wander into this area,

because some strong beasts live around the hideout.

Dreyja Members Talking.

Dreyja Member (rushing):

Hey! The Boss got arrested!

- What? What about the others? The vice?

- They're all arrested! That's why no one's come back!

- Shit! We need to rescue them!

- They have large numbers, and the Vice is with them—how?

- We don't know what happened, but we need to rescue them!

- The backup force also—no one has come back. They got arrested too!

Not far from the hideout, a hooded man was slowly walking toward it.

A wild boar with drill-like horns appeared…

A Level-C Beast Monster,

ready to charge at the hooded man…

But before it could move, part of its head was erased,

struck by a single fallen black petal…

The boar fell to the ground, its head bloodied.

Then, a number of different beasts appeared in the area,

lying on the ground—struck by black petals.

Hooded man (muttering):

This place would be quite a headache for ordinaries.

Narration (Ending):

A man named Cola is causing a scene in the city.

On the other side, an unknown martial artist arrives at the enemy's base.

Who could this be, and what are his motives?

Details will unfold in the next episode…
