Chapter 152: chapter 152 - "... what?"
Chapter 152: chapter 152 - "... what?"
"We're here"
Taufik said when he arrived at where the others gathered with Linda who seems lost his soul on his back.
"... What Happen to Mother, Dear?"
Ask Jeen when she Saw Linda's condition.
"Ahaha...ha~ it's Nothing Serious, she's just too tired after all of that walk, she will wake up soon or later"
Said Taufik, hiding the truth that his mother was like this because of him.
"...It's so, then it's Good, there's a bench over there, let mother rest there"
"Alright~"
Said Taufik, and then, for the first time, looked around this area and got a better look at this place, which is like a shrine that is often found.
'... I don't know why Japanese people like this kind of setting. is there no new innovation?'
The place where he stepped was no longer a sloping ground filled with rocks, but flat ground covered in granite.
'... Which Insane people install granite floors in the middle of a forest like this?'
Commented Taufik while looking at this area, which is half the size of a football field, and all the floors are covered in granite.
See all of this Taufik just shakes his head, then goes toward the bench that Jenn told him.
Taufik used his Imagination Magic and Created a pillow before laying his mother down on that Bench; after that, he asked Shasha to look after his mother.
"... Leave it to me, Master" Answers Shasha.
*Nod*
Taufik then Looked at Anugerah and Kaela, who gathered around one Torii in front of that building, which resembled a Shrine.
Taufik felt strange when he saw Torri, who should have been outside at the Gate, was actually inside like this.
'Is it the Teleportation "Device" That Asahi said?'
# A/N- "I Changed the Teleportation tool to Teleportation Device because it sounds a lot better"(v:)
Said Taufik, then Looking around to search for Asahi, but didn't find him Anywhere.
"... where's Asahi?"
"That Kid? He was inside that Building setting something, that will activate this thing here"
Answers Rani, who carried Alice In her arms while sitting on the other Bench with Jenn and pointing at the Torii.
"Hmm...
Taufik hummed as he approached the Torii.
... so this is indeed the device he said about... So, this thing still needs to be activated; I thought it was a ready-to-use kind of device... But being able to make something like this with the Mana situation on Earth right now was quite Amazing, now I'm Curious about what kind of person the elder who made this thing is"
Said Taufik as he was done inspecting the Torii.
"... It's not as simple as you thought, kid"
Said Lembuswana, who is also inspecting the Torii.
"What do you mean?"
"... I don't know how to explain this, but this thing is not something that Humans of this era could make... Maybe Humans can make a thing like this in the future, I don't know... but in this current time... It's an Impossible feat"
"So... Are you trying to say that Asahi's elders are not Human?"
Ask Taufik while Looking at Lembuswana with curious eyes. The possibility os Asahi's Elder may not be Human didn't scare him, it only made him more interested. Which made a grin Appear on Taufik's face.
"Don't grinning like that, kid! What I'm talking about here is only a possibility... I could be wrong"
Said Lembuswana; after being together with Taufik for quite a long time, Lembuswana already recognized what that grin on Taufik's face meant.
"Whatever~ if you're right about him not being a human, then it will be interesting, but if you're not... Then it just makes this more interesting...no matter what is right or wrong, the result will remain the same"
"..."
Heard what he said, Lembuswana couldn't utter any more words because what he said was Indeed true; if the possibility he said was true, then what he said about Asahi's elders is not Human was Indeed true. if he was wrong then that only means one thing.
""... He was a genius which only appears once in Thousands of Years""
Said Taufik and Lembuswana at the same time. Which makes them look at each other.
----------------
*Sparks!*
After waiting for a half hour, something finally happened to Torii, which got the attention of Kaela. She was the one who always stayed near that Torii; she said it was for documentation or something like that, so they just left her alone with her book in her hands.
"...You guys Saw that?"
Said Kaela, which drew the attention of others, and all of them then looked at Kaela.
"This thing is just-"
*Spark!*
Before Kaela could explain what she just saw, the Torii was let out something like a "lightning Spark" in one of the pillars.
"... Make something like that"
Continued Kaela.
Everyone just looking at The Torii with interest visible in their eyes.
*Spark!*
The lightning spark appears once again, but this time it appears in both of the Torii pillars; at first, it's just one in each of the pillars, and then the other lightning sparks appear one by one.
But the lightning spark didn't disappear like before, it kept on striking like it was trying to reach each other, and in the next second, all the lightning sparks met in the middle of the Torii which triggered some kind of reaction, and before long something like a circle, which at first was just a small blue circle that widened and continued to widen, until it reached the height of an adult and a width that could be passed by two adults, appeared in the middle of the Torri.
It was a sight that amazed them all, but Taufik felt that something was strange; he then looked at Lembuswana.
"... Lembu, do you feel some kind of Mana Reaction from that thing?"
Ask Taufik. because from what he felt by watching all of the process for that blue portal to form, there's no Mana usage at all.
"...You felt that too?"
Said Lembuswana who was also confused at how that portal could be formed without any Mana usage.
Seeing the confusion of Lembuswana made Taufik think about the possibility that Lembuswana had said, the possibility that Asahi's Elder might not be a Human.
"Are the Teleportation already active"
Asking Asahi, who had come out from that Building, but seeing Taufik and his Family already gathered around the Torii, made Asahi think that he was asking something so obvious, which made him rub the back of his head.
"... What took you so Long?"
Asking Taufik while looking at Asahi, who slowly walked toward them.
"... About that... Actually, this was the first time I activated this Device on my own, usually, there's a servant who does this for me, but because I'm in a Hurry, I didn't bring one with me when I came here, so hehe~"
Said Asahi who laughed awkwardly at the end.
Taufik just rolled his eyes at this and then went back to looking at The Torii, which was the Teleportation Tools that Asahi was talking about.
"... So how's this thing work? Should we just enter it Normally or... "
"Yes~ we just entered it normally like walking through a door and in the next second we will arrive in Tokyo, it's similar to the portal that Sensei used before"
"... I see... Then, what we're waiting for? Let's get going!"
said Taufik who immediately stepped into the portal.
-------------
- A few moments ago, in Tokugawa Family Manor.
Inside the Room Where the main Teleportation device is located, a few servants of the Tokugawa Family are stationed around that Teleportation device.
Then One of the servants realized that the Device made some reaction like it was about to activate.
"Has anyone from the main family used the teleportation device lately or is there a schedule for someone to visit?"
That servant asks his colleague.
"I didn't receive any report about that... Hmm~ the last person who used this Device... Ahh~ it's young master Asahi, he's going in a hurry after that earthquake occurred... try to see where the teleportation device is activated?"
Then another servant who sat in front of the big computer began to click something on the keyboard, and then Something appeared on the monitor screen, it was a picture of a map of Japan with lots of red dots everywhere, but there was one red dot that was blinking.
"... It's the Teleportation device in Kagoshima Prefecture"
"yeah, there's no mistaking it, it's young master Asahi, quickly tell this to Elder Isshin and the head of the family"
"Yes"
Then one of the servants gets out of the room to notify the elder and the head of the Family about Asahi's return.
A few minutes later, the servant came back with two additional people with him; that person was Tokugawa Isshin and Tokugawa Hajime.
"I heard Asahi will come back it is true?"
Asking Tokugawa Isshin.
"Yes, Elder"
When he Heard that, Tokugawa Isshin shook his head.
"That Kid... I let him go outside, but not only he didn't return after he was done, he even dared to stay for a few days more, I will punish him when I see him later"
Said Tokugawa Isshin, and the others didn't have any complaints about that. Even Tokugawa Hajime didn't dare to open his mouth.
After waiting for a few minutes more, the portal finally opened.
From that portal, one leg came out; they didn't have time to examine if it was the Asahi leg or not because all they knew was that it was only the Tokugawa family member who knew about this Teleportation device's existence.
then they vaguely saw the curve of someone's body who wanted to get out of the teleportation device.
but they were sure that it was Asahi, so before the person fully appeared, Tokugawa Isshin had already shouted angrily.
"YOU KID! YOU BETTER PREPARE YOUR...
Said Tokugawa Isshin, but stopped when he saw the person who came out from That Device was not Asahi but another person they didn't know of.
... Self?"
That person then looked around the room, and the others also didn't take any action toward the person because they were trying to make sense of the situation they were in right now.
"Ahh~ so it's you!"
Said that person while pointing at Tokugawa Isshin. It's like he knew who Tokugawa Isshin was, but the person in question didn't have any memories of ever meeting this person before.
"... What?"
....
...
