Become A Human In Another World
ACT 6: Chapter 11 - Game Start!
"What'sthis? What amazing magic? I didn't think I'd find it here. There's enough, no. Very much. More than ten, and it's encircling the city!" said someone happily in his terrible smile.
The man then flicked the robe he was wearing, showing his form.
But after all, his surroundings were filled with darkness, making anyone who saw it feel bad, or even faint. In fact, the monster monsters that were in the forest did not dare to approach him.
The person smiled for a moment, before finally falling silent with a curious and surprised face. But after a while, his smile returned, it just got wider.
"No, it's not a different person. From his type of magic, it came from the same one person. Is it a magic tool? Well, I don't know, but at least he deserves to meet me" said the young man with a grinning smile.
He was none other than Gordo who watched the city of Eldergale from afar, and sensed the magic that Ren had installed on the outskirts of the city.
"Then!" he cried, raising his hand.
Instantly, the darkness radiated rapidly, like a tsunami that quickly spread around. It was still midday, but it instantly became dark because of the magic Gordo cast.
Somehow, it brought forth a black cloud, which began to cover the sun, making everything dark. Moreover, Dark Magic from Gordo had also started to surround the city.
?!!
Ren who was drinking tea together with Syila and her family was shocked, and nearly dropped the cup he was holding.
His hands shook violently, and cold sweat also came out from his temples.
Syila and her mother who saw that soon realized, there was something strange with Ren. They looked at each other, before Ren's mother Nina started.
"What's up, Ren. You look so scared?" tanyakanya.
Ren was just silent, with a dark expression looking down. She looked at Syila and her mother in turn. Dozens of sufferings she felt because of this incident.
("Syila's death, then the mother who was exposed to Dark Magic! All of those problems came from this incident!") ren's mind screamed, and his eyes also began to glaze over.
("Mother was turned into a monster because of Dark Magic, that too because. If not, if not! Brother Edna doesn't need to kill mother with his own hands! I don't have to suffer either! No, no one will suffer if today doesn't happen.") Ren continued, biting his lips, trying to hold back his cries.
"Really, Ren!? What the hell's going on? Why do you seem to hold back so much?" ask Syila in response.
Hearing that, Ren regained his senses and smiled softly. But his dark expression remained, indeed unable to change quickly.
"She, it's coming." whispered Ren slowly.
"Him? Wh who? Who's coming?" asked Nina curiously.
BAMM!!
The sound of the door slamming sounded shocking all of them. And immediately all eyes headed towards the door, looking at the figure of a teenage woman who looked breathlessly standing in the doorway.
"Sir Edna! That's not good!" shouted Ren immediately.
"Ahh, right. I-i'm sorry! Uh, not thatuu!!! You all need to get ready! We're going to evacuate!" edna shouted in a panicked tone.
The people in the room looked at each other, except for Ren who knew everything.
"What does Edna mean? Can Edna calm down? At least, explain slowly." replied the now worried-faced Syila as she brought a cup of tea towards Edna.
Edna received it, and drank it a few sips, before nodding and taking a deep breath.
"Huff. Alright. I'll explain it. I don't know, but it can't be explained. The sky was suddenly dark, and something dark was beginning to surround the city! Dad doesn't know what it is, but he's already moving to form a team in case something happens. And Dad told us to take cover immediately!" said Edna.
He explained everything clearly, and followed, making Nina and Syila immediately look at the window, which was outside the storm clouds that soared in the sky.
"that's so... But what is it? Shouldn't we ask for help from other city Guilds?" ask Nina.
"Yes. Dad was prepared to do that too. He said, if anything worse happened, he was ready to call for help immediately" Edna replied quickly.
But Ren did not move, instead speechless, pensive in his seat.
"Rin! You're not coming?" edna asked while slightly tilting her head. While Ren, who was asked was silent, while thinking about something and whispered softly. Edna saw it impatiently, and immediately walked over to pull Ren's hand.
"Ren, come!" said Edna.
Ren was a little surprised when his hand was suddenly pulled by Edna, but he soon regained his senses and smiled. After which, Ren gently took off Edna's hand which pulled her hand.
"Humm? Ren's? What's up?" edna asked confusedly.
"It's okay. It's just, you guys go first. I'm catching. I'll help Dad first. It seems like this is a major disaster, so I'm sure the more people will get the better." Ren said confidently.
"What did you say?!! You can't do that! You're just a kid! And Roy won't allow you to fight either!!" yelled Nina did not accept.
Naturally, his immature son, and again known as a weak man all this time said he wanted to fight with a disaster that had never been known before, which parent will allow it easily.
"Sorry, mom. My decision is round. No. gabe. I can't decide about this. This is something I have to do. It's not a matter of whether I want to or not, it's an obligation, not an option." Ren replied firmly.
"But..." Nina sounded objected. Whereas, Ren obviously had no intention of stopping.
"good. We leave this to you, Ren! Please help dad! And also, it looks like you know something about this. Hope you can help me, with your knowledge!" edna's answer arrived.
It made everyone shocked, even Syila immediately changed her expression.
"Sir Edna! It's just...."
"Didn't you trust Ren?"
"Huh?!" Syila was instantly speechless when her rebuttal was instantly cut quickly by Edna. Now Edna also looked at Syila and Nina sharply.
"I asked once again, does Syila not believe in Ren?" edna asked Syila.
"I-it's." said Edna enough to silence Syila, making her unable to say the word and just looked at Ren expectantly. It seems to tell Ren not to do anything reckless.
There is a deadlock, visible from every party who does not seem to want to budge in the slightest.
And just then, Ren advanced with a smile, patting Syila's shoulder gently.
"Don't worry, Syila. I didn't do something so desperate, really! I know my strength, and I know what I have to do" Ren said to calm Syila down. He also looked at Nina with a weak smile.
"Ughh.." the two people that Ren persuaded were silent, with dissatisfied faces. But either way, what Ren said was true. There was no loophole for the two of them to be able to deny what Ren was going to do. But, still the two of them could not let Ren go.
"alright. If you two can't let Ren go, let me keep an eye on Ren so he doesn't act recklessly. How's it?" edna asked to break the deadlock.
"Sir Edna!!" sure, Ren yelled no take!
"Well, how else, right? There's no way they'll be able to let you go. And you yourself will also be as stubborn as them. No, you're even more stubborn."
"Then what should I do?" ask Edna a little nagging.
He looked at Syila and Nina, then turned towards Ren. Edna looked at the facial expressions of all those involved equally, not seeming to have anyone wanting to budge. Therefore, Edna laughed for a while, although considered strange by others.
"Huff. If Edna gets like that...." Nina Mulia voiced her opinion.
"Yes. If Edna's own sister says it, I'm a little more sure." Syila added with a smile, looking relieved.
"Mother.... Syilais... Ugh. Well then, it seems like I can't deny it anymore. If that is the condition that must be done so that I can get out, how else. Yep. I'll follow that." Ren replied as he took a tired breath.
All were immediately bright-faced, leaving a dark expression of Ren who was smiling slightly curiously appearing on his face.
"Bright.... Let's start the game!!" whispered.
