Beginning & End - June 8
Chapter XVII - Haruma's Weak Side

At 13:58 WPM.

Akio who was already preparing for the meeting, let out a sour face mimic.

“wah meraknya you can relax here.so envy hufft” said Akio limp

“semangaatt General..” Said Juke and Airi with vigor

“I will accompany you Mr. Akio” said Jihan

“ha ha ha .. no need mba Jihan, you just relax here enjoy your holiday, okehhh” said Gentle Akio

“heelehh sokan not want anyway, though lonely” Ellia mocking Akio

“baweeeellll..”sall tidied up her clothes.

“yosshhhhhhh all, I go first” Akio say goodbye to pseudo

"[Teleport]"

“malasnyaa..” murmured Akio who has been in front of the entrance of the Malaysian association.

akio slowly walked towards the meeting room.

Ciuuttt... Akio opened the meeting room door slowly

“this is him we are waiting for” Mikel said

with a dull look of Akio's face towards the discussion table.

“waaahhhh King Akioooooooooooo..” shouted one of the carefree Japanese representative girls.

Akio who set his gaze on the source of the voice, made Akio's eyes grow surprised because of the one he met in the meeting room.

“Riinnnnn.... no.nona, Kaoruuu..

“waahhhh the more dashing you are king, I did not think you are taller than me now yah” Rin mocked

“sialanann.. Don't call me with the king again Rin, I'm no longer leading”.

Akio smiled sadly as he took his eyes off Rin and looked at Kaoru. Kaoru is the older sister of Kaori who died 4 years ago, a battle that led Akio to disband the Crow Nites at the time.

“haaii Haruma.. long time no see”.

“nona Ka's.. Kaoruu..” Akio's eyes flashed and lowered his head.

“heiii is Akio, do not continue to bear the burden, you always avoid me after that battle” Kaoru said softly with a heavy voice

Akio who just nodded his head, sat down without saying.

“emmm sorry, can we start the meeting?” asked the slightly smug Farouq chairman to interrupt their meeting.

“just start and get to the point of the chairman of Farouq” said Kaoru

The leaders of Farouq and Kim who were appointed as leaders of the fighting force later explained one by one point to Kaoru and Rin, until the final was delivered. Kaoru cut off the conversation..

“seventh chairman..”.

“why didn't you join Akio?”

“I just want to coach the team I brought Miss Kaoru, no more”

“lalu... do you want to keep looking when our troops lose later?”

Akio just kept quiet by lowering his head

“how can you have changed much Akio? All the Crow nites back then also knew that it wasn't your fault, so stop covering yourself with the burden you're carrying it”

“sorry, I don't want to talk about that miss” Akio shook his head slowly

“fiuhhh.. It's up to you”.

Kaoru who took something from inside her bag, threw it towards Akio

“it's Kaori's Diary, I think you're the one who's better off keeping it. It's been a while since I actually wanted to give it to you, but after you disbanded Crow nites back then and disappeared, I kept it until I met you”

Akio who was looking at Kaori's diary on the table with extremely teary eyes held back tears, picked it up trembling.

Akio, who was fixated on the one he was holding now, was unable to endure his sadness, and tears flowed down both cheeks.

“forgive me all, forgive me for making this meeting come to a halt with my weak side”

“Chairman, Captain Kim. I say goodbye first”

"[Teleport]"

Akio disappeared in an instant.. Chao Xing, Mikel, and the ignorant Chairman Farouq with Akio's abilities were stunned instantly.

“what just happened??? to.. to..where did it disappear??” chao Xing said in a loud voice

“has continued our discussion, let him grieve” said Kaoru

“anoo... alright.we continue our discussion” said Chairman Farouq who was still stunned by Akio who disappeared in an instant.

“yesterday night I got word from Arshalan the captain of the Malaysian Cronites, that the Pires tried to expand the scope of his legacy in Kelatan, but were thwarted by Arshalan and some of his troops at the border of Kelatan. Arshalan who asked for help as soon as possible to me after restraining the border, seems to have reached his limit”

“alah if it is like that chairman, we take another vote about the time of his attack” said Kim

“aku as usual Captain, faster better” said Chao Xing

“I agree with Chao Xing” Mikel override

“I am still like Kim, I follow the orders of the leader just” said Kaoru who followed Rin by raising her head

“determine your decision Captain Kim, I think Akio also agree with me” said Akio who received the leadership of Kim as the captain of the assault team later.

“baiklahh, tomorrow dawn we start the operation of the attack..” Kim said firmly.

“can I get a little more help?” said Chairman Farouq

“actually Thailand was also attacked by Pires in the city of Pattaya, mumpung you are already here.can you also help Thaliand, because the country of Malaysia is located under Thailand, do not want to take the risk if Pires who managed to conquer Thailand began to move to the land of Malaysia again. I ask for this help once again if something unwanted happens brothers” Chairman Farouq pleaded.

“remember Chairman Farouq, as long as it is not Bhagiah (ruler of darkness) and his generals who attack, we must succeed in completing all Pires that exist” said Kaoru

“i also agree with Kaoru, because that is what makes me sure Mr. Akio not to jump directly on the battlefield later and choose to train his team, not to underestimate the battle later..” says Kim

“lagian do not beg like that Farouq. This is indeed the duty of all of us as Cronites in eradicating these rotten creatures” said Kaoru firmly

“baiklaahhh... prepare yourself tomorrow morning everythinga” Shout Kim cheers all up.

“yeaahhhhhhhhh Shouted Chairman Farouq, Rin, Mikel and Chao Xing who were shouting louder than all.

Kaoru, who was worried about Akio, told Rin to look around with her [Detection] ability.

“nee Kaoru-senpai. I felt the aura of King Akio on the roof of this building”.

“i think he has not completely changed.always look at the sky as his tranquilizer” said Kaoru slowly

“Rin you wait here, I want to see Akio first”

“siaapppp.... Kaoru-senpai” said Rin who is always cheerful because of his always cheerful nature.

“good Chairman, I think this discussion is enough for me. I leave the Chairman” room said Kaoru politely who bowed her body and walked out of the room.
