It has been a week since that interrogation. I will be released the day after tomorrow. Most of my bandages are off. I am told to go to a rehabilitation center. But I walked just fine. So I won’t have to go to a rehab.Ratri is still my nurse and I feel like she is only taking care of me. I mean, she just comes here and sits by me. Doesn’t move till her shift ends. Mona and ojou-sama come together at the same time.Ariel comes during lunch.I was supposed to be in a hospital but when I think about it, I was surrounded by women all the time.I am a patient who should just stay in bed and yet all these women keep visiting me everyday.I look at Ratri who is by my side. She is checking my reports. And the clock strikes lunchtime.“What should we do?” (Ratri)“Isn’t it always the same? Ariel will come with my lunch.” It has become something of an habit. She always comes around this time.And speak of the devil, I hear the door knob turn.And Ariel enters the room. I thought she would clo
I just prevented a hand grenade from entering the cabin. It would have been disastrous if it did. These are special grenades. Capable of totally blowing up this room. I look behind to see them. Ratri is looking not too bad. She has had previous experiences with these things so it might not be too much for her. Now that I think about it, all of them have had such experiences.Both ojou-sama and Mona are daughters of Yakuza. They should be used to seeing guns and stuff. Ariel used to lead an all girls gang. I am not saying that she is used to it but she should be okay.However, my thoughts were too lukewarm and happy go lucky. They are totally not okay. Ojou-sama is shivering. I can see her moist eyes. She is on the brink of crying. Ariel is all restless. She is walking all over the place. Mona is just standing like a statue.But then she just fell on her seat. She probably lost her strength.“This is gonna get ugly. You guys should just leave.”They are clearly nearby. I think they a
I leave the room. Mona, Ariel, Ratri and ojou-sama are in the room. Maybe not. They should have left already. I need to hurry as well.I rush towards the lift but it is busy. I guess mass hysteria has broken out. Everyone is leaving. As fast as they can. But I can’t see anyone. Because, I was caught by them for a while.So I take the stairs instead. I didn’t even need the lift anyway. Taking the stairs is actually faster. While climbing down the stairs, I look around. The whole hospital is empty.This feels quite eerie. But I have no time thinking about that. When I reach the front desk, it was deserted as well. And I can see the people running around.The road is blocked. Everyone is trying to run away. But was it that shocking? It’s just a single grenade. I leave the hospital and stand outside. I had forgotten that I was wearing the hospital clothes.It was distasteful. But then a police officer came to me.“Why haven’t you evacuated yet?” (Officer)“I am evacuating now.”I avoid th
I am currently sitting with Monga. In the basement of the police booth. Why? I am having a drink with him.Earlier I broke in here. Breaking in would be a crime but this police booth was empty and I knocked first. His servant led me to him. So I am not breaking in by any means. After that we had a debate. He didn’t recognize me at first so I kinda jogged his memory a bit. Then, he ordered his men to fight. Well fighting wasn’t too hard.There were about 20 men in the room. All armed with firearms. And he sent them all at me. They encircled me and pointed there guns at me.However Monga knew this was futile. Because, I have beaten up his men before right in front of him. He knows how much of a monster am I.Calling myself a monster would be a bit too much. But you can’t change the truth. I am a monster. At least to normal humans.The moment they were about to pull the trigger, I jumped. But I didn’t want to kill others just because we two have a scuffle. So, I kicked the guy in front
I was hiding behind the bar counter because there was a cluster bomb. It would detonate any moment now. And it did.*Boom* I heard that and the shockwave hit me. The heat and fire emerged and everything collapsed.I don’t know what happened but when I regained consciousness, I found myself there. I am still sitting there albeit I am buried in rubble. So, the roof collapsed causing everything to fall down. Due to the rubble, the fire went out. Thank goodness. If the fire had started then I would have become a roasted human. I check Monga.He is beside me. “Monga, you okay?”I call him but it seems that he is unconscious. I see blood too. I guess, some rubble hit him.I can’t see very well because of low light. I move my hands to feel the surroundings.We barely avoided a concrete beam. But I should get up first. I try to move the rubble that was blocking me. Monga was surprisingly, not covered in rubble.After getting rid of the rubble, I grab Monga and try to stand up. But there I fe
I was taking refuge in a bunker. Our city had something like that was completely unknown to me. Many people were in the shelter with me. But after a few moments, the police opened the shelter door.“It’s okay now.” The officer said.All of us who were in the shelter, left in an orderly manner. I head straight to the hospital. Because the patients would be back as well.When I enter the hospital, it’s busy. Every patient was being taken to their rooms. There are currently no critical cases so we are fine.“Doctor…” A nurse calls me. I look at the nurse and find out who she is. Ms. Ratri has been working here for 2 years. She is good nurse. And she is in charge of Mr. Akito.“Akito has yet to return. Have you seen him?” (Ratri)“No. Did he also escape?” I didn’t see him in my shelter. Maybe he was in another shelter.“He told us to run away. I went with Ms. Kusanagi. And Ms. Kanehaya was with us.” (Ratri)They all ran away together. I had the feeling that they knew each other.“I will
(Ariel POV)I finally managed to be together with Akito. When I brought him home, he was wet. So I changed his clothes. But I didn’t take a look. I was too embarrassed.And he woke up and had a breakfast. He didn’t seem bothered by what I did. And he even showed me his upper body. It was full of scars. All of them were horrible. Slash marks and holes, there were countless of them.What did he go through in these five years? And he left for his job. I was very happy because he said he would come back.And I left for my job as well. I worked as a department head of a certain company but today we are getting new bosses.Our company was merged with another one and we will be working for the new bosses from today. I got ready and went to my workplace.But little did I know that I would find Akito there too. He is the bosses P.E. He drove them here and is now working directly with them. So Ms. Kanehaya and Ms. Kusanagi are our bosses. I knew about both of them but why is Akito working for
(Mona POV)I am normal. At least most people would say that about themselves. I tried too. But I am not normal. It’s not like I am physically or mentally challenged. But my family is not normal.My father is the current head of the Kusanagi house. Our house has a long history. And aa the head’s daughter, I was expected to many things.My father only has me. When I was born, the elders pressed him about another child. They wanted a son to take the lead.But my father disagreed. He didn’t want a son. He was happy with me and he would respect my decisions.When I was in high school, many marriage meetings were arranged. A lot of families came to ask for my hand in marriage.Who wouldn’t? I am the only daughter of the Kusanagi family. If you marry me, both princess and the empire is yours.But I rejected everyone. Their ulterior motives were showing. They were not looking at me for who I am. To them, I was like an accessory. For gaining fame and money, they would shamelessly try to pursue
