A Break

I told Yokoahi not to worry. Reaper Selection is knocking the door. There you can reach your goal. Just believe in yourself. He thanked me. But then a girl showed up in his house and started saying, how many times do I have to tell you, Yokoshi, to clean the water in front of the house? Seeing us, she asked him, who are they? Yokoshi said, they are my new friends, Ginu. Ginu said what? You forgot us and brought new friends. I helped you so much but still you forgot me and made new friends? Shizuku told her, you are wrong! That’s not the story! Ginu said, so for this girl, you have done this, Yokoshi! Nanami became angry and shouted, shut your mouth. Everyone! Keep silent! Ginu said, it’s true, the boy seems to be cool. What’s your name? Then I told everyone to calm down. There is no reason to fight. You must be Ginu, right? Look Ginu, calm down. We won’t be here for long. We are reapers. We are here just for the night. Ginu replied, so you are reapers. Those people I hate the most. They are them, Yokoshi? Yokoshi told me not to be sad. She is always like that. Meanwhile, Nanami left the place.

A sound came out of Shizuku’s stomach. I said, is it from your stomach, Shizuku? Shizuku got embarrassed and said, I didn’t eaten since the morning. That’s why.. Yokoshi said he is also hungry but he didn’t get any work and that’s why he doesn’t have any money to buy food. I told him not to worry and asked if there is any river or pond nearby where we can find fishes. Yokoshi said yes and took us to a river and said you can find fish here but it’s hard to catch. Shizuku asked me if I can do it. I said, I’ve done this in Jossemburg a lot. It won’t be a drag for me to do here. Then I started catching fish with my hands. Using speed technique, I was able to do it very fast. Shizuku was amazed and said, you are pretty fast, aren’t you? I said, it’s not a big deal. When I was in Jossemburg, I could catch fish even faster without Sasis. Yokoshi said we will be able to eat it at night. Ginu was watching us. Then I taught Yokoshi how to catch fish.

We were going to the house talking with Yokoshi. Suddenly, he collided with a woman. It was Yokoshi’s step mom. He saw her and was surprised. He called her, “Mom” She was there with a man. The man said, how dare you rotten kid ever try to push my wife? The woman said, get out! You filthy rascal! Yokoshi said what are you saying mom? I’m your son! The man became angry and punched Yokoshi. He fell to the ground. She told him to hurt this rat more. He agreed and when he was about to kick him, I stopped him and said you can’t hit my friend! I punched him very hard. He fell to the ground. I wanted to hit him more but Shizuku and Yokoshi stopped me saying you shouldn’t create any chaos here. Yokoshi told me not to do it. I asked him if he doesn’t feel sorrow about this. Yokoshi said no. No matter how much pain she gave me, she is still my mom. I don’t want her to suffer. Hearing him, I stopped. Ginu told Yokshi if he wasn’t hurt badly. Yokoshi said I’m okay. I walked towards his step mom and said, you will have to come to Yokoshi no matter how much you decline him. If your husband ever tries to hurt Yokoshi again… Bye! Mom!

After all the chaos we returned to the house. I saw Nanami was there. Ginu asked Yokoshi how his stepmom has come here. Yokoshi didn’t have a clue. I said, Nanami, you are here, you should come with us to collect wood. Nanami denied. Shizuku made a creepy face and told Nanami to come. He then agreed. We went to collect wood. We cooked fish BBQ. We had a lot of fun. Ginu was also very happy with us. We then ate fish and talked with each other. It’s dark night now. Yokoshi brought blankets for us. I hope you won’t feel any discomfort sleeping here. Shizuku said, we will be fine. Nanami said, remember tomorrow we will start the mission. Then we went to sleep. Everyone was sleeping. Suddenly, I woke up and heard some kind of sound outside. I went outside and saw Ginu crying in front of the fire. She looked at me.
