Hello Underworld (End)

I dropped down from Chou's back to run into the gates of the wall of Tapum. I ran as hard as I could to get to Mr. Franko's place. Kenji quickly held my hand to make me stop.

"Why are we running?!! We have to save them!! Mr. Franko was there too!!!" I snapped with my voice that broke from crying.

Kenji just silently stared at me while holding my hand with his firm grip.

"There's nothing we can do. Besides I can't risk my life for a stranger." Lenji said coldly. My anger exploded in front of him.

"Then in the ruins.......YOU CONSIDER MYSELF APAAA?!!!!!" I nodded very loudly. Even Chou had a small jump because he was surprised by the hardness of my clash. I held my hand out of his hand. This time he didn't hold me.

But Kenji doesn't break it one bit. His face was still flat and cold looking at me.

"The answer I leave to your imagination and your point of view. I don't care how bad you look at me either. But I'll do whatever I can to survive and come home from this world." Kenji. Kenji turns to lead Chou through his rope.

"Why have you always been? Always selfish....." I unintentionally spilled my frustration through that sentence. Kenji stopped walking.

"Only you who don't remember anything can know what about me?!" Kenji said with his voice suddenly rising.

"YOU WHO FROM THE BEGINNING WERE ALONE AND HAD NOTHING IN YOUR PAST, KNOW WHAT ABOUT ME WITH MIYUKI, HUH?!!!!" For the first time I saw Kenji's emotions. Unfortunately, it is an emotion of anger. The pure anger.

"Decorated, humiliated, hated, disliked all my life this made me learn how rotten life is. If life is a crime. So it was Miyuki who denied all of that from me so I could get to this point." Kenji who was already expressing such wrath did not even finish his words. His face returned to normal. His hands scooped his face from top to bottom.

"Dad..." Call Jihan slowly. His face was filled with anxiety at seeing Kenji who had just been angry.

"Sorry." Kenji said briefly.

Kenji began to walk to the right around the wall of Wheat. Hisao came down from Chou's back and pulled my hand.

"Come on." Said.

I wiped my tears and started walking. During the trip we were all silent to each other. No one is talking. Even so sunyinya our journey the sound of the wind until it can sound melodious in the ears.

For half a day the trip we did was just round the wall of Wheat to the right of the western Devil District. I was quite curious where we were going and headed. But seeing Kenji being so angry at me made me lazy and reluctant to speak and ask.

During the journey, we were not attacked by a single demon nation. I read the news in the newspaper that flew over to me. The heroes and the elite knights managed to find one of the nests and exterminate all the demon race in it. Although the demon nation had not completely vanished but it had already become progress for mankind. About 50 km from here have begun to set up several military camps to oversee and maintain the construction of new walls. About 2,000 workers were sent to work on it.

Kenji stopped moving. He looked around him. The direction of the sun, the shadow of the walls, natural features such as rocks and mountains of sand. All Kenji looked carefully and carefully.

"We camped and rested here. Even though there are no zombies or any category nation, we must remain vigilant." Said Kenji who started lowering Jihan from above Chou's back.

Everyone obeyed Kenji without anyone to argue. We set up 2 tents. 1 for Kenji and another one for me, Hisao, and Jihan. Kenji also covers Chou using a giant dark coat and covers him with sand so that it looks like a sand dune.

Evening has arrived. I don't know why it's so cold tonight compared to last night. I also came out of the tent. I'm quite surprised, why didn't Kenji start the bonfire tonight?

As usual, Kenji is still busy fiddling with his weapons that only capitalize on moonlight which happens to be so bright and full tonight. I was initially so afraid to start a conversation with Kenji because I had already mentioned him. I also walked slowly closer to him.

"Why are you still awake? Isn't it late at night?" Kenji said without looking at me. I was quite impressed at once surprised. I didn't expect Kenji to start the conversation after we had a word of mouth.

Kenji had to answer it long enough. After finishing fiddling with the revolver. Kenji turned to his katana and began to slowly wipe it away.

"Just below us is an entrance to the underground city." Answer Kenji.

"Because on the surface I didn't get much information then I decided to go to the underworld." Kenji. I'm quite astonished. How did he know the Underground world of Wheat?

"Then what does this have to do with not making a campfire?" I ask once again. Kenji breathed a heavy breath.

"The guards of the underground city will realize that we are right by their door to the upper world through the heat of the bonfire. Only through temperature differences can they tell. They're even more trained than we thought." Kenji.

"And we have realized it by voice." Someone said out of nowhere. Kenji who realized Something immediately jumped while holding me. A huge explosion was right below us. Hisao who also woke up jumped up while holding Jihan. And Chou too. Dozens of rope came out through the sand slit. Tying Chou up very quickly. Even the bond is also so tight that it makes Chou attracted and slammed into the surface of the sand.

"Chou! no!" Jihan with quick reflexes threw her boomerang towards the rope so as to make some of the rope that tied Chou cut off. Chou immediately released himself. Kenji who jumped together with me as high as 5 meters even had tied the rope. Kenji, who had grabbed his katana before the explosion, immediately cut the rope that tied his leg.

We landed safely. Our belongings fell into disarray from below the surface appeared some soldiers and knights who seemed to be wearing ghili suit clothes immediately pointed their weapons at us.

We were outnumbered, outnumbered, outclassed. We're completely surrounded.

"Alright we may not want to hurt you, but we don't mind doing it." Said one of those in front of us.

Unexpected. Kenji raised his hand up which signified a sign of surrender. I even glared at him for a while and then I followed him.

"Wait a minute, sir." Said one of the soldiers coming to the soldier in front of us.

"What's wrong?" Ask.

"According to the data, a supposed hero named Tatsumaki Kenji was pronounced dead. But...." The soldier showed something that made the other soldier quite surprised.

Yeah, Kenji's stat card. The cards that only the hero had he searched on the pile of our belongings were in the process of security.

"Level 125?!" The soldier muttered in surprise.

"How are you..." Said the soldier stammeringly looking at the figure of Kenji whom they saw whose condition should have been dead was still alive in front of them.

"I actually objected to killing you for trying to do this hospitality to me. But I don't mind doing it." Kenji said calmly and lowered his hand.

"Take me to the underworld. I want to meet Theressa the Seal expert." Kenji said loudly.

Despite the hesitation, in the end they lowered their weapons.

"How can you too?!...know that name... Soldier! Stop siege. Take our guests to the underground city." Said the soldier.
