7 SLEEPER
Exceeding the Boundaries of the Human Brain

"Sorry waiting a long time, it takes a lot of preparation"

A 60-year-old man entered in full kendo. Behind him several people in the same Hakama uniform also sprung up to fill the room.

Even I had to be pushed into the middle of the room, we were surrounded.

"Damn it... " Curses me.

It doesn't matter if it's just me, because I'm used to being surrounded like this in training. But not with my two friends, they are just ordinary people.

" Fuck grandpa, what's this all about?"

" As you can see, there's nothing to explain, be prepared"

" Are you a demon?, if you want to talk unnecessarily violent like this, don't involve my friends in this"

"What do you mean, all I see on their faces is readiness"

" What do you mean?"

But my anxiety just vanished when I saw the confident smile of the two. I wonder where that confidence comes from.

" Oy oy oy, you don't have to push yourself, I'm used to all this, but you're not. We'd better give up, we'll come here looking for answers not looking for injuries". I freaked out and they didn't, were their brains short?.

"Kazuma san, during this one week I did not waste the gift, you know" Kazehaya said steadily, and from the air in front of her he pulled a large familiar-looking axe.

When he grasped the axe, his muscle mass grew crazily along with the shock blast that came out of his body.

It was amazing, where it all came from. A drill? Within a week? No way, this is not a fantasy story.

" Don't forget me..." It's Momo the Wizard's turn. The beautiful and sexy girl also looked calm and just ruffled her waist with ease, her one hand also seemed to hold a crystal ball inside which contained a raging lightning sting.

"Where did you get those dangerous things?"

"" Item drop "" Answer them steadily, simultaneously.

Really, I have crazy friends.

But still, perseverance alone will not be able to get us out of this situation.

"Momo Chan, right?, how about we play outside for a while"

Sora-nee intends to separate us, is this also part of their plan, torturing us one by one ?

"Momo, don't get hooked. It's a trap"

Not until I spoke, the confident girl responded to the trap and darted quickly out of the siege circle.

"Fucking rake!!"

Damn, even if the three of us are still not enough to survive this siege.

"Kazuma san, don't think Momo, that girl is tough in her own way, she won't lose to anyone"

Kazehaya kun, you're too confident. They're not human. Even ordinary people would be frightened if they saw them, did your brain short circuit?

"Where does your confidence come from?"

" While not as great as you are, I also have a Taekwondo black belt, you know"

"Of course I know that"

"If you know, then what are you worried about?"

"This and that are different, after all see them, they are not opponents who can be defeated with courage as long as you know" I reminded.

"So much as I am" With the overflowing energy Kazehaya smiled horribly.

"At least don't use real weapons"

"Ah, right also" The overflowing energy had vanished unceasingly.

Everyone in the room softened the tension a little. Some people threw bamboo swords into the middle, enough to use for both of us.

But reality says something else. The two bamboo swords were snatched before I could take them.

Without the cue Kazehaya immediately shot like a bullet and hit a group of reliable fighters in its trajectory, like an uncontrollable grenade explosion.

Remaining I am one, without weapons and with a confused face that holds a million big question marks.

One by one they attacked quickly as I was lamenting the bamboo swords that Kazehaya had just captured, one by one I also broke their attacks as much as I could. Not usually I panic face against the siege, all happened because of this courtesy, all happened so suddenly. It's Kazehaya's fault.

I lunged one by one the opponents that covered the old Grandfather, while dodging attacks after attacks that were endless.

But the closer I got, their attacks also became more and more. I even had a hard time finding a gap, if only it looked a little I might be able to turn things around.

It had been almost half an hour that we exchanged blows, their numbers had already been reduced by almost half.

Unlike me, their stamina seems to be a lot. Obviously because they attack alternately and regularly.

" Hey, is there no lightening for me?, look at this many of you gnawing on a little boy alone, aren't you ashamed?"

"Hoo, it's smart that your mouth is talking. Who said you had to attack alone?".

My bait turned out to be ineffective, I thought they would loosen the defense a little.

" Listen, old man, I came here just to talk. But what do I get?"

" Stop talking, move your body. Not your mouth."

" You want to kill me, huh? Old sir"

" It's free to complain, it won't be over until dinner time comes"

Seconds later from outside several explosions were heard, even one or two of the explosions went into the horde of fighters that surrounded us, their bodies flying almost to the attic.

" Look what happened!! " My meaning.

" It's free to worry about others, just take care of yourself. They're tough guys that I built well, they won't die with just a weak blast so"

"Are you a demon? The devil!!! Unhumanized"

" Continue!!" The old man's orders, ignoring my opinion.

" All right, don't blame me if one of you dies!!"

Fed up with this selfishness, I don't hesitate anymore. The punch that I was holding now I let go of everything at once, I caught someone's face no matter who, I slammed onto the floor, I lunge people on the side with a long kick and he slid backwards carrying people behind him, lucky he wears a protective helmet, but unfortunately the protector and his face was destroyed.

Feeling inadequate, I avoided the attack from the blind spot behind, I caught his arm quickly as it passed through my right shoulder, and I rewarded him with an elbow on his back, he thrashed on the floor, I stepped on his neck so I could hear the sound of a broken bone.

" I told you I don't hesitate anymore, now who's next".

I'm not afraid, they're not afraid. An hour later I began to feel nauseous, my stomach felt sucked from the inside. My gaze began to sway shake, the dizziness that I was originally able to suppress had now reached its limit.

Although there are many opponents that I grew and thrashed on the floor, but that's not half.

I don't have much time, I don't even have time to worry about Kazehaya anymore. My focus was on the people who were still lusting after me.

How much they want to beat me.

For the size of the black belt of 6 martial streams, this is too much for me. Moreover, Kazehaya kun who only mastered Taekwondo alone, although it can not be said amateur, his stamina is very much. Moreover being able to blow an opponent into the air like that.

But briefly... Why was Kazehaya able to deal with them so easily? What secret? Right too, all of that must have something to do with that strange thing that wrapped his body.

"Kazehaya kun... !!!" Shouts, "Huh.. Huh.. Just to scream I got into this trouble"

"What?!! I was busy... "

Regardless of me, Kazehaya kun continued to beat opponents one by one.

While I was like this I was still being mercilessly attacked by them. Shouting while fighting turns out to take a lot of energy, inevitably I have to get energy like kazekaya's, at least as I thought. But this crowd keeps getting in our way.

The old man also appeared to be on full alert despite not moving from there from the start. Isn't this bad ?.

" Kazehaya kun, I need your help can you come here?!"

A man managed to lock me on the floor and I snatched his bamboo sword, but it was broken and impossible to use anymore.

" I'm busy, sorry, they don't even want to give up"

Human explosions shot back into the air.

" If we don't work together, none of this will be done. Even the old geezer had not moved at all "My pinto.

"Where else, I'm coming. " Kazehaya darted like a bullet through the horde of opponents, and stopped right in front of me without fail.

His posture looked dashing with two swords in his hand. His body was still clad in the light of a strange Liquid-shaped liquid.

" How did you do it, that weird thing on your body, that rampage and everything."

I panicked all the questions he either understood or didn't mean.

" Kazuma san, as Otaku who plays in the fantasy genre of swords and magic, I have understood all these gifts"

" Yes yes yes, then?"

" All the secrets of the world and the hidden powers."

" Yes, yeah, what's the secret?"

I don't have much time for your Chuuni right now, so tell me your secret.

" It's all because of imagination."

Waw... A new breakthrough from an Otaku.

" Are you kidding me?"

" Do you call all this kidding?, do you think it's time to joke?, look around. They don't even think this is a joke"

" Yes, no, I mean this and it's different "

" Kazuma san, believe in your imagination. Albert Einstein once said that humans only use 10 percent of their brain power. But now I understand, that ability only applies when the human imagination is unable to balance common sense, whereas now we have a power that is able to exceed the limits of the ability of the human brain. It's a new breakthrough.. It's mukzizat.. It's a grace.., huahahahaha"

After hearing that brief and dense explanation, which I did not quite understand, the kazehaya again darted and violently uprooted the opponent.

"Is imagination?" I tried and risked everything on kazehaya kun's words. If it still hasn't worked, let's find another way out.

I also tried to imagine my body being enveloped in energy. It starts with my body and I'll make it spread all over my body.

Little by little I began to feel it. I can also hear my own heartbeat, but that's not what I want. As soon as I could imagine a green flame as big as a matchstick fire inside my body, it started to grow, when it was a little enlarged I also saw the fire in my body was in a cage of glass balls, and could not be bigger even though as hard as I tried.

" Is this just my limit, this isn't enough"

I tried again and again until I saw that the glass ball was cracked, at that very moment with a burning spirit I pumped the fire to overflow and broke the glass ball, and then it was, until finally the fire began to dominate and re-crossed to make a large fireball that rotated in place, the bigger the bigger and bigger in my body, I pump again and again until my fatigue is gone and my spirit is tempered.

" Yeah.. !!! " With a new spirit, I cried out a cry of spirit. A surprise explosion came out pushing the opponent who appeared to be moving slowly in the air.

" Wowowowoow" Amazing, power of imagination, best.

But it feels less if I don't use more. So what do I need? Ah, what if I become a Golem. With a hard body and a big shield and a big sword it seemed interesting.

With my super-fast brain, I will take advantage of the time I have left, while continuing to avoid attack after attack, I can definitely.

Yosha!! so what should I do first?, right armor.

Making complex shapes with limited time is impossible.

Shields, others,.. Yup. The easiest thing. Form shape and solid form. Do not be too thick, it will be difficult to use if the load increases, but briefly this is not heavy at all. To keep watch, let's make a few layers.

And succeed..

Next is the big sword. It should be easier than a shield. But I also have to consider his sharpness, I do not want this power to suddenly become a killing tool. Let's make a little thick and a few layers, a little ballast for compressive power.

And made it back... Next energy.. Yes if the armor doesn't work, just create an energy layer like Kazehaya kun.

And failed. That energy instantly changed its shape into what I had imagined before. Or is it possible that the energy is digesting information from before and finally forming the previous command ? Let's find out later.

Now that I'm ready, with a slightly similar look to my game character, I'm coming up with a new spirit.

It's more convenient and easy, beating an opponent like this feels like flicking a fan, I can do this all day, if only I knew from the beginning.

Until few of them are able to defend, we continue to attack mercilessly, in style of course. We're athletes, not crazy people with new toys.

Remaining less than a finger count, the enemy still stands. Including the old grandfather, who was still in standby mode.

" So, is it done?. Old grandpa ?"

" I'm not that old until you have to say old grandpa"

" Whatever you say, now what you're gonna do, your army's gone."

" Hoho, are you underestimating because I look old, young man?"

The old grandfather stood up, his aura started to change, even filling almost the entire room, and looked dangerous. My instinct told me if I blinked we'd be done.

And sure enough, the old man accidentally blinked disappeared from my eye catch. A second later a great wind flashed on my left. Spontaneously I turned to the left, there stood the old man with Kazehaya lying on the floor. His body was no longer clad in abundant energy like that, but instead, it began to melt into the air.

"Dam... " I didn't finish cursing, the old man disappeared from my sight, lucky my instincts worked faster.

As quickly as I could I took refuge in my shield, and I slashed it into the air where my instincts commanded me.

Like heavy metals clashing against each other, that's what I heard. Luckily this shield was able to withstand the old geezer's crazy slash. And again, my slash hit him too, right on the ribs.

But it did not appear to be doing any significant damage.

" It's my turn.." With as fast as I could, I slid towards the silent old man waiting for me to enter his trap.

Oh.. Seems right.

"Huh..."

Want to see when you act cool like that, not according to your old man's age.

" ..... "

It's free to turn your face away, it won't change things.

"Grandfather.., your gout is relapsing, right? "

"What are you talking about, focus on the fight"

Until whenever you don't want to admit it heh?

Yasudah. Even so I am not a bad boy.

"I call grandma first, grandpa just wait there"

I kept walking out of the room looking for help. Ignoring protests that he shouldn't have said.

A few moments later we changed rooms. Precisely the dining room which is almost the same area as the room, many dining tables lined up neatly in tatami. And there were a few people with bandage wounds already present in front of their respective desks.

" Then, what did Grandpa mean to call us up like that?" My voice I emphasize on the word shroud, to the grandfather who is being treated by Grandma and some servants.

Grandpa just silently acted cool, even though his gout must have been painful.

I don't think at all, Grandpa wants to do it all, especially when my friend is in it.

This cannot be taken lightly, my friend's life is at stake. Still fortunately they were able to pass through it, how if not?, a few abrasions can already be brought to court.

Moreover, they were injured in the territory of the Kazuma Family.

Yup, right.

Sorry to tell you guys late.

My family's a little, ahem... Little unique.

The Kazuma family were a few of the many influential families in the Shinsengumi era still in existence.

Although rarely quarreled but, our territory is real, not a few other families are looking for a cause with us, which is why I live and grew up like that.

Even though I didn't live in the main house, the people I was living in were acting normal to me, and I was grateful for that.

They are nice and pleasant neighbors. Even my schools have not ostracized our families.

Now we leave aside my status issue. We're back to this gouging business that my grandfather masterminded.

" So what do you mean grandpa?"

"..."

" I won't repeat for the third time "Threat me.

" Grandfather... Honestly speaking.. Fufufu " Next to her, granny laughed gracefully.

Although she is old, she still looks beautiful as in her youth.

"Huh..."

" Anooo.... "

" Yup, Kazehaya.. " Pointing me.

" That, I was also curious until now, the reason we were greeted with great fanfare, ah. Forgive my disrespect, my name is Kazehaya izumi"

Uwah, Kazehaya's face looks radiant, like seeing her Idol Live.

" Grandfather, just give up, stop being stubborn to your beloved granddaughter "

Although urged by grandma even though grandfather remained firm and threw away his face in silence.

" Let your beautiful sister tell you a secret and the reason for all this"

From the entrance of the dining room, a graceful-looking girl walked in slowly.

Here it is, my beautiful sister like her words just now. Eh? Secret said?.

"" Onii-chan "" Two other cute and adorable creatures that appeared suddenly jumped into my arms.

" Kazehaya dono, Momo dono, let me introduce my sisters. Starting from the one standing there, Maki Kazuma de ansu" I said with Sengoku's accent.

" Maki kazuma desu "Maki looks down courteously and gracefully wrapped in his Lovely Kimono.

" Furthermore, cute and adorable minions.. Miku chan dearu's... "

Miku who was calm and graceful like her brother Maki, also lowered her head politely.

"And Miki chan de aru" Miki followed his sister's greeting.

" How are they funny, right? Adorable?" Proudly I showed off the affection of the three of us we rubbed each other's cheeks.

" You guys seem to be having fun." Momo, who was silent, started talking.

"That's right, sergeant Miki, sergeant Miku.. Let me introduce you, my friend." Funnily enough Miki and Miku stood upright and in a resting position of the Japanese Martial Forces.

" This man, is a Guild Master... Kazehaya Izumi dearu's"

" Mastaa... " Their faces were beaming with mouths forming a huge O.

"Guild master doesn't have to" Kazehaya said, covering her embarrassment.

" Next.. " I haven't had the chance to introduce him, his own people introduced themselves.

" Momo Inuzaki, the Beautiful Wizard of the fairyland, as well as the Legal Wife of the Guild Master"

He elegantly brushed his long hair that was still not dry after soaking earlier. The kimono he was wearing looked tempting, as he exposed his precious asset.

" Furthermore, the helpless head of the Kazuma family there, Hatori Kazuma, and the beautiful woman next to him were Mio Kazuma." My words are short. Grandma looks happy in pretty praise. But it's true that grandma is beautiful. I wonder why Grandma would marry such a grandfather.

******

We ate dinner without a hitch, considering that I was the grandson of the ruler and also had rank and power, I occupied the table beside the General and the other Lieutenant. Unlike my friend who was a little far away at the guest table. All of this aims for formality while showing the position of the most each person in the room.

No meaningful conversation at dinner.

And now it's time for the core event.

Finish the dinner. In this same room and while all the higher-ups were present here, we sat down. The pressure from each of the higher-ups was enough to make the common people shrink. But not with the three of us especially me who is also their superior.

Being a leader at a young age is not easy, as long as you know.

" Weighing, everyone here is already present. And.."

" Can miss the formality of "Cut me impatiently.

Maki-chan stopped me, her head shaking slowly.

" Boo-chan please just listen to the Chairman this time."

" Sorry, Lieutenant. For the umpteenth time, I was already on the threshold of patience "

" But at least, for this time only, we beg you" He continued, they all bowed in prostration.

I am weakest with this.

" Huh... Just for this.."

Everyone sat back down Seiza, listening to what grandfather was going to say.

" In fact, the Kazuma Family kept a secret that only the higher-ups and the nuclear family should know" Grandfather stopped his sentence, and glanced at my friends.

When I found out they were not insiders, they reluctantly got up, but I firmly shook my head at them, and reluctantly mixed in, hesitatingly sat them back down.

" It all started 20 years ago.." Grandpa began to reminisce in his story. But I stopped.

" Stop your flashback Grandpa, I don't have time for flashbacks that far "

Everyone looks disappointed.

" Please abbreviate "I give up, it's up to you.

In order to save time, let me explain briefly, a flashback from 20 years ago.

20 Years ago was the time when my father, who was then the General of the clan, had the task of exterminating a human trafficking syndicate. And at that time my father's army began to be desperate because the enemy used heavy firearms which at that time was still classified as new weapons.

Father's army was almost defeated and many were wounded, even they were almost killed on the spot.

In that moment they felt hopeless and hopeless, they could only resign themselves and could possibly be killed that very day.

But that's when they met Mom, in the middle of a gunfight, dozens to dozens of bullets that floated, my mother came down from the air without being hit by bullets, every eye that saw Mom at that time felt hypnotized, not even willing to turn their eyes away even one second, let alone blink. They thought they had just witnessed an angel descend before them and would lead them to the path of truth.

Let me confirm to you. Although my mother is funny, she's not an angel.

In this section will only tell you that you are in love with Mom and you are also in love with Dad. Done it.

But the problem here is, the way Mothers appear is not normal on a earth full of science and technology.

If it may be called, the process comes down to healing magic to binding magic, that's what my grandfather wanted to convey through a flashback that was almost half an hour long.

You guys imagine for half an hour that I also hold back my emotions so as not to get angry.

" So you mean, Mom is from another World like in Novels, games and fantasy anime out there?"

" It's good you understand what I mean "

How arrogant you are to say that, old man.

" Then the four of us inherited human blood from another world, and now Mom and Dad are in that Other World, leaving behind their teenage children?"

" Well that's not entirely wrong "Grandfather chimed in.

" Huh... Give me time to digest, this is all too sudden, then... What about last week's events?"

" That's a little..."

" Of course, just say it.. "

" Ri-chan, don't you be a little rude to your grandfather this "Grandfather is so spoiled actually I'm a little guilty of talking rudely with grandfather who had spoiled me since childhood.

" Yasudah, tell me, please.."

" Catrin Dono himself is the son of the Boss where Mom Works, the reason why she came to this world is, like, the boss, because it was Catrin Dono himself who hacked into your mother's luggage when he returned to this world for the first time. "

" What the fuck, it looks like it was made  "

"Indeed like that, even your mother to the hassles of it and to be accused of kidnapping the daughter of the family Boss where your mother works, lucky all that can be solved by reason of misunderstanding"

Uwaaahs... So ridiculous.

" So indirectly, what happened last week was, Rin became the actual target of kidnapping from people in another world?, and subconsciously the kidnapping failed, he said, and indirectly also we awaken the power from within us due to inter-dimensional distortions when the intruder forces a shift in dimension ?"

" That's how it is"

" Grandfather, please be serious, then what's the reason Rin was kidnapped?, how do they know this place?"

There's no answer. Everyone involved chose a thousand languages.

All of this is still an unsolved puzzle. Though that was the core of my real question, but the question itself went unanswered, then what was all this for?

" My mentality, ahhh.. My mentality..." My head started to get dizzy with all this.

My sisters to worry, sad me this up to 5-year-old son to worry about me this.

" Why then did we get here when we were attacked, I don't think it had anything to do with everything you mentioned, old man"

Like in a lightning strike, grandfather's face was deathly pale. Cold sweat ran down his face.

I stared intently at him, I smelled something was wrong there.

" Oy, if you don't want this house to be flat on the ground, you better be honest now."

Sure enough, the reason was ridiculous and trivial.

Grandfather who misses his grandchildren because they rarely visit, took the opportunity to prank his granddaughter, but because of his impatience and carelessness, grandfather dragged my friends by accident, my friends are more miserable than he thought. Until the end of the incident he was always looking for a way to reason, and ended up with a recurrence of gout which he suffered because the fragile bones were surprised when suddenly moved.

I could only sigh again and again.

At least Kazehaya's answer was fulfilled. The rest..

" If you still insist on knowing, why not find the answer yourself, in the World There"

The words from Sora-Nee just broke the mood that was starting to improve. Everyone's face was no exception I became tense.

I do not mind going there, besides I am also curious about the World of Sana, where my other Kampung Page.

But there are people who refuse me to go.

Especially my sisters.

" Give me some time..."
