Chapter 49: 49 Wait For Me.
"So has there been any plans for the raid?" I asked Goto who came to pick me and Kanae up from the airport.
"Yes the barricading has been done, and with the evacuation of the civilians finished all we have to wait for now is for the gate to open," he said and I nodded so I have nothing to do in 3 days it is going to be boring.
"Kanae take me on a tour around Tokyo," I asked Kanae
"Well sure you need to know the surroundings anyway." She said with a smile.
Then we went to meet the prime minister and the cabinet. After an hour of formal chatter. I left the room with Kanae as I wanted to look around Tokyo but first I need to see the gate. So we made our way towards Shinjuku and I saw the S-Rank gate in its full majesty I can feel Kanae being a little tense.
"Don't worry about it. We'll finish it quickly." I said which caused her to scoff.
"You the first person I have heard saying about finishing an S-Rank gate quickly." Then we both laughed and heard a voice from behind.
"Get a room you two. Don't flirt in the open." I looked at the source of the voice Ak...
"AKARI YOU DAMN BRAT," Kanae shouted as she hit Akari on the head with an iron fist. Which caused the girl to squat down and cry.
"OWWWWWWWWW, OUCH why do you have to hit me so hard. OOWWWWWWWW." She cried pitifully while using healing magic to ease her pain.
"They are the same no matter what. Still, you shouldn't hit her that hard." I heard a loud male voice and looked to find Kenzo talking to Kanae.
"Would you like to volunteer for her then?" Kanae said as she cracked her knuckles.
"N-NO, I'm good," Kenzo said while sweating profusely. As he backed off.
"Traitor my boyfriend is a traitor," Akari shouted and Kanae was shocked.
"Boyfriend? Wait did you guys start going out? How did this happen?" and their girls' talk began as Kenzo said.
"C-can you not talk about it here?" he seemed a bit embarrassed.
"SHUT UP," Kanae shouted at him which caused him to shrink.
"Still as loud as always." I saw Tatsumi walkout while adjusting his glasses.
"That is the reason I didn't want to come, they are always loud," Ippei said as he stood by Tatsumi's side.
"Well, it doesn't hurt being lively sometimes anyway," Mari said as she joined the girls' talk. Kei was standing a bit far away.
I waved at him because I understand he has the same condition as Hae-in but his case is more severe. He waved back a bit awkwardly. Then I said hello to everyone and asked something that was on my mind.
"Why is he standing that far away?" I said as I pointed at Kumamoto who was hiding like 4 buildings away and hide as I pointed at him.
When they heard this they could only smile wryly.
"Well don't mind him. Are you ready for the dungeon break?" Tatsumi asked.
"Yes, I am but can you tell them to move the barricades a bit backward," I said.
"Umm, why?" Tatsumi asked me curiously.
"If there is a large enemy we wouldn't have enough space to fight them and they can wipe out many of our forces in a large attack so tell them to move it back like a street or two behind, alright," I said as he looked at me and nodded then took out his phone and talked to the one in charge.
"What are you guys talking about?" I heard Kanae as I turned and saw her standing near me with a red face.
"Why is your face red?" I asked and she punched at me while I dodged.
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, JUST ANSWER ME." She said as she was throwing punches at me. and I could only dodge.
"They get along well." Akari smiled as she said.
"Yes, yes they really get along," Mari affirmed.
'From which angle does it look like that?' The boys were confused as they looked at each other in dismay.
"Um, how does it look like they get along?" Kenzo asked not reading the mood.
"AHHHHH, how did I fall in love with a muscle head bastard like you?" Akari shouted as she hit Kenzo who wasn't affected much by it.
'We don't understand it Either and this muscle head bastard has a girlfriend. Then what am I, inhales Sharply* ' the men here felt their existential crisis at this moment as they looked at the gate.
'I'll Slaughter any fucking thing that walks out of it.' They vowed to take out their anger on the monsters.
"OK, Ok stop trying to hit me," I said as I grabbed Kanae's hands.
"HMPH," she tried to kick me in the face jumping but I dodged again and let go of Kanae's hand as she fell I caught her in a princess carry while saying.
"Well let's go, you promised to show me around Tokyo right," I said as I put down the dazed Kanae whose face was red, I held her hand and took her away while waving at the people standing.
"I'll meet you later," I said as I turned.
'Smooth bastard.' Every man standing there thought. He was able to neutralize the Lioness Kanae in a second. They knew how fierce she can be as they have been on the receiving end of it many times.
And she has many fans because of her Fierce personality but most of them are women even though her popularity in Japan is second only to Haru. It's just that she never bothered to check it.
They shook their head and went back to their works.
....
I am walking towards the hotel where I will be staying with Kanae who has been silent this whole time while we were touring around the city.
"What is wrong?" I asked because she is very active usually and would tease me from time to time.
"N-nothing." She said absentmindedly.
"If something is worrying you, you should talk about it you know. So tell me or Hae-in when you feel like it." I said with a smile as it isn't good to force someone to tell about their problems no matter how close you are. I saw her nod so we made our way toward the hotel I will be staying at. She went back after we reached the hotel. I told her to take care on the way back. She smiled and nodded.
I went in towards my room guided by the receptionist and took a bath then wore a white Yukata and went to sleep.
I woke up the next morning and surveyed the area around the gate and checked the preparations. I spent most of my time with Kanae who was back to normal again. But I was worried about her but I didn't ask her. I didn't want to cross into her personal space as my relationship with her.....
'What is my relationship with her?' I shook my head as I heard my phone ring and saw it was from Jin-Chul.
"What happened Jin-Chul?" we have become good friends after our frequent encounters.
-H-Haru Hunter Sung has entered a Gate.
"Then why are you so flustered about it? he should be able to handle it."
-It's a double dungeon in the same place where the last incident happened.
"Where are you now?" I asked him as I knew what this meant. I shouldn't let them enter the dungeon because they won't be able to do anything and it would lead to meaningless casualties.
-I am standing outside the gate waiting for the Hunter guild's main raid party that is on its way to help.
"Don't enter inside I'll be there in a minute."
-You are in japan how are y-
"I'll be there so don't enter.
I disconnected the call and called Kanae. She picked up after 2 rings.
"Hello, I'll be back in a bit. I have to go to Korea."
-Huh, what are you talking about how are you going to go back?
"It's an emergency. I'll be back in an hour or two, so wait for me. I'll leave a clone behind if there is any problem here just ask it for help." She already knew about me being able to make clones. And it is better to leave a clone so it doesn't cause a panic if I suddenly disappear
-Ok, Be safe alright.
"Ok" I Laughed while disconnecting the call. I then used wood style to change my clothes into the ones Madara wears with the armor. I prefer it because it is easy to move around in with gloves and metal-toed shoes.
"Flying Thunder God."
....
"You said Hunter Sung Jin-woo is in there?" Jong in asked as he stood in front of a large door with golden decorations.
"Yes, I'm sure," Jin-Chul answered.
"Are you two sure about not waiting for Haru?" Hae-in asked as she came here in a hurry after hearing the news.
"How will Hunter Haru come here when he is in Japan at the moment if Hunter Sung is in a dire situation it would be a big loss to Korea. And I want to repay him for helping our Second raid team in the dungeon." Jong-in said.
Then Jong-in pushed the door open.
"What- What is this?!" Jong-in exclaimed as he saw the scene inside the room. The room was destroyed with the rubble of broken statues scattered everywhere.
"The stone statues were really here!" jin-Chul said.
(What's this? I don't remember inviting humans. Ah it's another external affair.) They heard a creepy voice as they looked towards the source they a stone statue with its wings ripped off. The statue was smiling creepily at them as its eyes glowed.
"A-A m-monster that can understand human speech?" The Female healer said as she stuttered.
(Hush, now or you will disturb the king's slumber.) The statue said as it put a finger on its lips.
"King?" Everyone looked behind the statue only to see Jin-woo standing there motionlessly.
"Why is... Hunter Sung Jin-woo standing the-" One of the hunters who was wearing gauntlets was interrupted as he saw a Sword aiming for his chest no one was able to react to it. Except for one,
'Breath of Light: Lightning Fall.' A Flash of light passed in front of the hunter who was about to be attacked.
CLINK* THUD*
As the shadow went past the hunter it looked at his hand and saw it was cut in half.
(Subarashi, you are strong you will make a great offering for the king.) The stone Statue Turned around and looked at Hae-in as he smiled creepily.
"Everyone retreat we can't fight him," Hae-in said as she was clear about the difference of strength between them. The other hunters won't be able to do a thing.
(Oh we can't have that now, can we? I am sorry to disappoint you but this is where you all die.)
Snap*
The statue said as it snapped its finger and the door closed.
SLAM*
And the stone statues that have been destroyed started to rise as they held weapons and started attacking everyone.
"TANKER GATHER IN A FORMATION." Jong-in took command and ordered the hunters to fight with the statues.
Hae-in was about to go and help them, But…..
She jumped back…
BANG*
A sword landed on the place she was previously.
(You have good senses human. I'll be playing you for the time being. My king will be pleased with a new powerful soldier.) He said with a creepy smile as he regenerated his body that was previously in tatters and the arm that Hae-in had cut off, with swords in his two arms. He started attacking Hae-in and a fierce clash of swords ensued.
