Alternative/Zero One's
Third Medal (Part II)


Just as the whip of light crept through the air as fast as the wind as well as the throwing blades that spun and glided through the air together. The white deer that they have targeted each issued their special ability in the form of a super jump technique that allows users of this skill to jump up to 2-4 times than ordinary jumps.


"What?!" Knock Kenji and Tsukuyomi at the same time as if they can't believe what they just saw.


The throwing knife and the whip of light they both missed because of the tightness of the white deer kicked the empty air behind them, resulting in Kenji's throw knife even bounced on the tree as well as the whip the light belonged to Tsukuyomi who was instead bound to a nearby tree.


Kenji and Tsukuyomi have their own ideas and plans to capture him. Kenji prepared 2 throwing knives. Tsukuyomi prepares two whips of light from each of her hands.


Kenji hurled the two knives close together toward the foot of the white deer. White deer preparing to do a super kick of his back leg. Just when his hind legs kicked, the 2 knives rubbed against each other so that they bounced back and formed a 90° turn angle so that the knife stuck in the lower back leg and made the deer topple.


While Tsukuyomi threw her first whip then the back leg of the deer kicked and made the slash of the whip misses but in a few seconds Tsukuyomi threw a whip of light that was in her other hand. Tsukuyomi is aiming for momentum in the second that the deer unleashed his super kick skill. Because there must be a pause there. Tsukuyomi's second whip managed to dart and bound to the back leg of the deer, making the deer fall down.


Tsukuyomi and Kenji quickly cradled and carried their white deer to the location where Kenji's backpack was located.


They both carry the same weight because of which their running speed is reduced. They were getting closer, closer, closer, and closer to the backpack.


...****************...


And when they spend the night at a pier where the cannibals have been slaughtered there, Kenji finally cooks.


"cheating." Kenji turned to Tsukuyomi who was lying down.


"People who start cheating at the beginning of the competition have the right to say that?" Ask Tsukuyomi in a satirical tone.


Tsukuyomi can win the competition because before he ran after Kenji, Tsukuyomi had set a trap near the backpack so that Kenji was hit by the trap and failed to get his victory. Kenji couldn't argue with him either because he himself was also cheating.


A few seconds quiet. There was no conversation between the two of them. All they heard was wind friction against the leaves in the trees around them. The moonlight also shone on them as if the two of them were being highlighted by the moon itself.


"Kenji." Tsukuyomi tries to open the subject and as usual Kenji never responds if someone just calls him.


"Why don't you go back to hero camp? Wouldn't it be that if Miyuki found out that you survived that would make her happy?" Ask Tsukuyomi. Waitaminute! It's not Tsukuyomi. Kenji was very familiar with that way of speaking.


Kenji looked behind him. It wasn't Tsukuyomi but Mai. Miyuki's close friends in college and in class.


"Mai huh? I thought you couldn't re-exchange your consciousness for Tsukuyomi's because your soul was too weak." Kenji said coldly.


Kenji breathed his heavy breath while pouring the venison soup into 2 prepared bowls.


"There's no reason for me to go back. Being free is not a bad thing either. All my actions are my own responsibility. Miyuki will also know by herself has also arrived at the right time. Besides, I still consider anyone in our class for me to be ignorant later. You're lucky enough that your name isn't on my bad boy's name list, Mai. Miyuki also doesn't need to protect me anymore. My brother can be free from his shackles in his responsibility to protect me. He does not need to be tortured any longer. And if I come back it raises suspicion. The royal party will definitely interrogate me under the guise of an interview and it must be very troublesome and time consuming. Because I also have a new goal besides being a pet dog of wheat by playing a hero. " Kenji said scooping his soup and sipping it.


Mai was silent long enough to respond to all the reasons Kenji had just mentioned. Everything Kenji said was not wrong and his presentation must have been high. Mai is increasingly aware that it will be quite difficult to bring Kenji home even though in a hard way like dragging him. That's not gonna work. Mai even thinks that if one class against Kenji is currently, Kenji clearly won a landslide.


"Then what's your new goal?" Ask Mai back.


"Home." Answer Kenji.


"You've been talking too long and you've been asking too many questions. Go with Tsukuyomi." Pinta Kenji and Tsukuyomi take over Mai's body. Kenji could tell by the color of his eyes.


"You're back too." Said Kenji who was still eating the venison casually.


"I didn't expect him to ask me to exchange even though he knew that his soul wouldn't last long enough to surface. I helped her" Tsukuyomi said, scratching her non-itchy head.


"So you gave him a chance?" Ask Kenji in a slightly sharp tone. Is this all about Kenji to his own friend? Thought Tsukuyomi.


"If I don't serve it then this will interfere in the future. Because this is not my body. This body belongs to a woman named Mai. If I don't obey him then I can't synchronize this body according to my will." Tsukuyomi clearly in detail.


"She was satisfied with my answer?" Ask Kenji coldly.


"Yes, now he's fast asleep in the subconscious." Answer Tsukuyomi.


"Good then. Make sure he stays that way. Remember our contract." Said Kenji who finally finished eating the white-haired venison soup.


"So where are we going tomorrow morning?" Tsukuyomi asked broke down in silence.


"At the end of the lake we'll find a cave. There must be a third medal in there. And we'd better go round the lake than we should be on the water. I want to avoid this lake as much as possible. There's a chance there's some mutated fish." Kenji.


"All right, then. Now it's my turn to take care of it first. I'll wake up when it's your turn." Tsukuyomi.
