Grand Fate: El Muerto
Re;Life


Shin and the others bury Romero's body on Mount Fuji, they hide it somewhere so that no one knows, Gaki himself is very lucky because there are no eyewitnesses other than Zein and the others, he said, the fight will not be fought.


Shin had taken some of Romero's surviving and unburned items, he found a capsule the size of a fist, the capsule was red and blue and the band wrapped in white.


Gaki is still hospitalized, although his critical period has been cured by doctors with the help of Grim, Gaki is still in a coma, the doctor says that he will be awake in a period of one week. Eiji was now alone at home, he was still preparing for the test in a few more days.


Today is Friday, Eiji went to school by walking. At school, Eiji sits in his chair and waits for the lessons to begin. "Eiji, did I hear your brother went to the hospital?" asked Ren, one of Eiji's close friends, "yes, he got into an accident a few days ago," Eiji lied about Gaki's fight, "I'm so sorry, by the way, Teacher Qing will want to talk to you later," Ren patted Eiji on the shoulder, "alright."


During the lesson hours, Eiji listened quietly to Teacher Somu's explanation, studying Japanese history. "Japan has one legend, a seven-branched sword that has immense power, told that this sword is a gift from King Baekje of Korea to the Ruler of Yamato in Japan, this sword was found in the Japanese Isonokami Temple in 1945, there are some people who say that this sword can repel the enemy, and provide power that is all powerful for the holder, he said, the sword is now a protected historical relic and is kept in a hidden temple, "Guru Somu opens the next page in the history book, "archaeologists say that this sword was made during the Jin Dynasty, which is the first to be built, or the Sima family leadership in China, after a three-nation battle period. Some say the Seven Branches on the sword have the power of the Seven Great Sins, or Nanatsu no Taizai, but some researchers reject it because it is contrary to the possibility of making the sword, because the Jin Dynasty was around the year 360, while the Seven Great Sins were only popularized in 1880." Teacher Somu sighed, he spoke too long, "alright, anyone wants to ask?," Teacher Somu opened the question session.


"I want to ask!," Eiji raised his hand, "where is the location of the sword now?," asked Eiji, "as I mentioned earlier, this No Tachi Nanatsusaya sword is now hidden in a temple, some experts say he is kept in Isonokami temple, Japan, some say he is kept in Korea," replied Guru Somu slowly, "then what about the one stored in the National Museum of Japan?," Noa, one of the disciples, stood up and asked, "it is a duplicate made based on the original sword, made as closely as possible in order to give a clue about the original sword, it was clearly a duplicate since only an ordinary iron was sculpted less than ten times, as the original sword was sculpted up to a hundred times and from the finest iron and gave it a powerful aura." Teacher Somu closed his book, "well, today's lesson we'll suffice, see you at the exam next week." Teacher Somu walked out of the classroom.


The break bell rang, Eiji tidied his book into a bag. Eiji, Ren, Fugi, and Wagabe go to the school cafeteria, Eiji buys a bowl of Rice Bowl with the addition of Blackpepper sauce, they sit down and start eating his food. "Eiji, have you learned all the lessons for next week's exam?," asked Fugi as he sipped his Ocha, "already, what about you guys?," Eiji replied to Fugi's previous question, "I have learned, but I do not understand it, even the explanation given by Teacher Somu I did not understand at all," Wagabe looked calm with the explanation he gave, "it seems like the longer you will also be stupid, Eiji," Ren chuckled, "i almost forgot!, I have to go see Master Qing!," Eiji immediately stood up and ran into the teacher's room, Wagabe chokes on his food in shock, Fugi spouts out another drink, Ren who also just remembered about it immediately runs after Eiji.


In the teacher's room, Eiji was in Teacher Qing's room, Ren waiting for Eiji in front of the teacher's room. "Eiji, I got word about the annual Olympics, the school wants to send you, Shirashi, and Yamataki. The Olympics will be held on December 4th and the grades of the three of you are the highest of all 10th graders, Shirashi and Yamataki have agreed, just you, what do you think?" Teacher Qing put his hands together, he wished wholeheartedly that Eiji would accept it, "sorry I can't, December 4th will be an important day for me," Eiji replied calmly and quietly, "so you rejected it, yes. Did you refuse him because you wanted to attend the academy's annual festival?," Teacher Qing was a little suspicious, "yes, I want to go to that festival," Eiji again looked calm and gentle, looking calm and gentle, in his heart, he wanted to enter the race, but he did not want to miss the academy festival at the same time. "Alright, if it's your decision, I can't force it, thank you for the time, you can leave," Teacher Qing sighed, he seemed to have lost something important.


Eiji came out of the teacher's room, "what are you guys talking about?," Ren asked Eiji, "he invited me to the Olympics, but I refused him," Eiji sighed, he felt a little guilty, he said, but the decision he made was unanimous and inviolable. Eiji and Ren return to class, and Fugi and Wagabe arrive with Eiji and Ren's food left in the cafeteria, continuing their break in class.


"Hey, how about later in the afternoon we go to the supermarket for a bit of fun?," the eyes of Wagabe sparkled, "I have no money," Ren refused indirectly, "I want to study for the exam," Fugi also rejected Wagabe's invitation, because Ren and Fugi refused, Wagabe now looked at Eiji who had not replied, "it seems I can't," Eiji smiled faintly, as the three of them refused, Wagabe said the thing that made their hearts melt, "i will treat you," Wagabe stared intently at the three of them, "i am coming," Ren and Fugi said simultaneously, "I'm coming, but I want to go to the hospital first to see my brother," Eiji replied, "well, it's late afternoon after school, we're gathered in the city park, then to the hospital, and then we're going to the hospital, after that we go to the supermarket," Wagabe explained their current arrangement of events, "i agree," Ren's eyes twinkled.


School time is over, the clock shows 14:00, Eiji should have come home at 4 pm, but Teacher Kei did not come to school. Eiji went home first, he changed his uniform into a dark green plain shirt, with black pants, Eiji made orange syrup to bring to Gaki who was being treated at the hospital. Eiji went to the city park on foot because the distance was not too far away. At 15:30, Eiji, Ren, Fugi, and Wagabe had already gathered in the city park, the brand was now taking a taxi to go to the hospital to visit Gaki.


At the hospital, Eiji filled out the visit form, Gaki's room was at number 322, room 22 on the 3rd floor. Eiji and the others took the elevator to get there, the 3rd floor hallway was quite crowded, because it was an intensive care and hospitalization floor, so there were quite a lot of visits and patients available. In front of Gaki's room, Eiji went in first to check on Gaki, where Shin was sitting next to Gaki's bed. "Sister Shin?," Eiji called Shin who was sitting down while playing his phone, Shin looked directly at Eiji who had just entered the room, "ah, Eiji," Shin nudged the sleeping Gaki, who was in the bedroom, the infusion device has been removed, the breathing apparatus is also no longer installed, Gaki is awake.


Eiji was shocked because he thought that Gaki was still in a coma, but in front of him was his brother who was getting well, "sister?," Eiji looked confused, "Gaki just woke up around noon when you were at school, the doctor himself was shocked because the monitor did not show any signs of high brain waves, but the instant Gaki woke up just like that," Shin patted Gaki's shoulder, "yes, I seem to have more rest," Gaki sighed, he looked at Eiji who was still looking shocked, Eiji jumped up and hugged Gaki who was still sitting on the hospital bed, Eiji shed tears, he looks very worried about Gaki, because only Gaki is left as his family. "I told you you guys were a good match for a guy," said Shin, he took the orange juice from the bag that Eiji was carrying, "it looks like you want me to burn it too huh," Eiji stared intently at Shin, Shin didn't pay attention to that. "When can you get out of the hospital?," Eiji wiped his tears, "the doctor said Saturday, I will be given some extra medicine first," Gaki smiled at Eiji, saying, from Ren's window and the others peeked, they saw everything Eiji did, "I guess they're a couple," Ren said innocently, "I agree," Wagabe and Fugi agreed with Ren's opinion.


After finishing visiting Gaki, Eiji and the others go to the supermarket, where Gaki used to fight. Eiji, Ren, Fugi, and Wagabe go to the play floor, where Wagabe refills his playing cards to use to power the game engine. "I'll go home poor like if you linger here," Wagabe looks regretful with his decision, "just relax, I'll help you pay for friends don't know ourselves," Eiji smiled towards Fugi and Ren who were playing hockey, "it seems like you guys are referring to something," Ren immediately showed a gloomy face.


While waiting for Ren and Fugi to play hockey, Wagabe and Eiji go to a food stall on the same floor. "Hey, Eiji, do you have a special relationship with your older brother?," Wagabe seemed interested in the subject he started, "what do you mean?," Eiji pointed the fork he was holding towards Wagabe, "i was just kidding," Wagabe smiled slightly, "but you guys looked so friendly in the hospital earlier," without answering, without answering, Eiji pointed his fork closer towards Wagabe, "i'm just kidding," Wagabe slightly retreated his chair, "what if I joked you?," Eiji smiled sweetly, "what if I prick you in a jest, it was a sign that he was already quite upset, "well I'm sorry," Wagabe lowered his head, Eiji sat back in his usual position, he put his fork down. Ren and Fugi who just finished playing approached the two of them, "how about we go to the cinema?, are showing a good horror film," Ren advised, "ah, good, pay for each one, pay for each one, yes," Wagabe now smiled at Ren, "no," Fugi and Ren spontaneously refused, "well," Wagabe stood up from his chair with a gloomy face, "you're our purse, let your brain be stupid, but your purse is useful," Fugi patted Wagabe's shoulder, "I could have been ranked one at any time you know," Wagabe smiled sinisterly at Eiji, "don't cheat hey," Eiji patted Wagabe's back.


Ren, Eiji, Wagabe, and Fugi go to a movie theater not far from the supermarket, they go to watch one of the horror films that are being discussed. Eiji and the others were already sitting in the audience seats, Fugi and Wagabe were eating the popcorn they bought, Ren was playing his phone while waiting for the movie to start, while Eiji tries to watch it first using his Grim, Eiji activates his Grim, he can see the film without having to wait for it to start, but because Eiji wants to enjoy the film calmly, he disables his Grim, and he turns it off, but Eiji himself had already seen the early parts of the film.


As the film begins, Ren, Fugi, and Wagabe sit quietly, Fugi and Wagabe pause from eating popcorn, Ren puts his phone in his pocket, Eiji shuts up with a small laugh, he used his Grim a bit to avoid jumping-scare. "It looks like we didn't choose the wrong movie," Ren was seen enjoying the film, Wagabe several times closed his eyes and ears, he was not a horror movie lover, unlike the other three friends. "Ren, do you know what's going to happen with the main character?" Eiji whispered to Ren who was sitting next to him, "i think he'll make it out of his haunted house, it was a cliche storyline, after all I liked it for its ghostly shape and creepy house," Ren looked like a good film critic, "oh no, he'd be trapped there," Eiji smiled with satisfaction, he gave the ending to the story that Ren was waiting for, "impossible, it violates the final human rights of the story based on cliche law," Ren was seen protesting with leaks reported by Eiji, "after all, the film had only come out today," Ren suspected Eiji, "forget it, I want to enjoy the film quietly," Ren sat back down quietly.


Fugi falls asleep in the middle of the film, and Wagabe begins to look fearless, but still worried about the upcoming jumpscare, Ren and Eiji watch the film closely. The film is 2 and a half hours long, now the clock shows at 20:15, the film is 30 minutes away. Ren still looks very fresh, Fugi has been repeatedly to the bathroom, as well as Wagabe, Eiji who began to sleepy decided to go to the bathroom. The temperature outside the viewing room was very different, Eiji felt even more crowded, as many people were waiting for their movie viewing room to open.


Eiji went into the men's bathroom, there were children playing in the water, there were no adults there. Eiji thought about entering the room, but before Eiji tried to see the future using his Grim, he saw that he would be peeped in while in the cubicle, it didn't take long, Eiji decided to go back to the movie room and return when the children were gone.


"You why?," Ren saw Eiji who still seemed to want to pee, "you must not be so urinating for fear of being peed, I also had not urinated from the beginning for fear of being peed," Fugi gave his thumbs up, Eiji also followed Fugi's movements, "i told you you'd be stupid as time goes on" Ren refocused on the film as it continued.


At 20:48, the film was completely finished, Eiji and Fugi ran straight to the bathroom to urinate, and Wagabe and Ren waited for the two of them in the cinema waiting chairs. "I'm still confused, why when Eiji is close to someone, we always think that they are compatible in pairs, whether it's a man or a woman," Wagaber looks like a critical person, "it looks like it's just you, like you," Ren tried to reject the Wagabe argument. After Eiji and Fugi came out of the bathroom, they decided to go home, "Eiji, since you're home tonight, how about we stay at your house?," asked Fugi, "yes, how about we stay at your house, after all it's been a very late night, we can get permission to the parents to stay at a friend's house," Wagabe looks pushy, Ren also seems to agree, "ah, it can't seem, my house is narrow for four people," Eiji tried to smile, he did not want to bother his three friends, "come on," Wagabe wiggled Eiji's shoulders, "ba... All right," Eiji finally gave up.


At home, Ren immediately settles down on a mattress that belongs to Gaki, Eiji who sees him immediately tells Ren to go out and lock his room, "we better sleep in the living room to be fair," Fugi gave advice, Eiji also took sleeping equipment such as blankets, pillows, and bolsters to be placed in the living room, Fugi who from the beginning was exhausted immediately sleep the first, Wagabe turned on the television, and, Ren plays his phone, while Eiji is in the kitchen making ramen.


"Hey, let me help you," Ren came to Eiji who was chopping carrots, "ah, alright, please peel the corn," Eiji thrust two corns at Ren, "your brother never helped you cook, right?," ren asked while peeling off the corn seeds, Eiji did not answer anything, he just kept silent, "I know from your expression, you don't want to blame your brother for never helping you, right?, he was silent?, he always helps you when you need him, and now he's not here" Ren smiled.


Ren has both hard parents, his older brother always protects him when Ren wants to be beaten by his mother or father, Ren and his older brother are always forced to be number one in his class, Ren who had been desperately trying to become number one was always defeated by others, even though he was ranked second, his parents never appreciated him. Ren's brother has always been ranked first every year, but he suffers from depression due to coercion given to him, a year ago, his brother committed suicide by jumping from a bridge, because of that, both of Ren's parents feel guilty and finally realize, but Ren still can't forgive them, Ren also lost a hero who was there for him.


"I understand what you're feeling, Ren, but don't make it a burden, make it a stepping stone to climb higher, we're all great people, you know, and we're in the process of making it real, with confidence in ourselves, nothing is impossible to achieve" Eiji smiled at Ren, "you look like a male lover when you smile like that," Ren returned Eiji's smile, "oh, is that it?," as usual, Eiji pointed his knife at Ren.


That night they both shared the story while in the kitchen, Wagabe finally slept before the ramen so, in the end Eiji and Ren who ate it both, even though the ramen is a portion of 4 people.


At 00:15, Ren, Wagabe, and Fugi are asleep, Eiji is still awake, he is studying in the corner of the living room, although Eiji could have seen the problem using his Grim, he promises not to do it, he will not do it, but there was one thing that stuck in Eiji's mind, the words from Gaki earlier this afternoon in the hospital, "Eiji, your strength isn't just what you know, you have enormous power," gaki said this afternoon, it made Eiji confused, he decided to go to the gym tomorrow, when Master Zhong was there.


Eiji had just slept at one in the morning, he fell asleep while reading a history book about the material discussed earlier this morning by Guru Somu, about the sword Nanatsusaya No Tachi.


At 4 am, Eiji was already in the kitchen, he was making pancakes for his three friends who were still sleeping soundly. The thought of Gaki several times crossed Eiji's mind, although Shin said that Gaki was healed, but in the depths of Eiji's heart he felt something bad, Eiji had shed tears, he said, but he was determined to be a brave man. While at home alone, Eiji ransacked Gaki's room, opened Gaki's highly classified notebook, and Gaki's laptop. Eiji already knew all the ambitions of Gaki, instead of wanting to hold Gaki to avoid harming himself, Eiji instead intends to follow the path of fighting that Gaki did, he does not want to forever just burden Gaki, he just wants to burden Gaki, just make ramen every day, and never help anything again.


At 5 am, Ren and Fugi wake up from their sleep, the pancakes Eiji has made are half finished, he is making jam parts for him. "What are you cooking?, it's still early in the morning," Ren walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes, "i'm making pancakes, do you like it?" Eiji smiled at Ren, "ah, pancakes, pancakes, you know, you know, you know, you like it, here let me help you," Ren took the pancake bread and laced it with honey, "Ren, besides it's not yet done," Eiji danced to Ren's arm holding a honey bottle, Fugi who was in the hall looking at them, he doesn't know what they're really doing, he only sees when Eiji holds Ren's hand, "had I thought they were a couple," Fugi picks up his phone and takes a picture of Eiji and Ren without their knowledge.


At half-six in the morning, Eiji, Ren, Fugi, Wagabe were already sitting neatly around the living room table, a large bowl of pancakes served there, with two variations of flavor, honey and fruit punch. "Why are there two flavors?," Wagabe looked puzzled, "ah..., that..," Ren smiled slightly, Eiji showed a sour face, "i don't care, my stomach is hungry," Fugi immediately ate several piles of pancakes at once, he ate without pause, as a result he also choked on food. "It feels good," Ren praised Eiji's fruit punch pancakes, "at least it's not covered in honey," Eiji still seemed not to have received some of his pancakes covered in honey, "please forgive me," Ren was immediately kind, "oh yeah, I saw you two making out in the kitchen, "Fugi showed me the photo she took just plainly, "Fugi, you seem to be doing the wrong thing," Wagabe sighed, "ah, a photo yes," Ren and Eiji smiled at Fugi, "ha, ha," Fugi chuckled. The morning was filled with laughter and togetherness, they did not feel alone anymore, Eiji could forget for a moment about his past and about Gaki, Ren could also eliminate his depression for a while.


At half past seven in the morning, Ren, Wagabe, and Fugi were preparing to return home, "alright, we go home yes," Ren and the others walked out of the house, and they went out, the taxi car that was ordered by Wagabe was waiting there, Eiji was standing at the door of the house while watching his friends come home.


His taxi car was already far away, Eiji sighed, he immediately cleaned the house and went to take a bath. After everything was ready, Eiji called a taxi and went to the sports hall.


At half-eight in the morning, Eiji arrived at the sports hall, where Ray and Zein were practicing steel crushing, as usual. Eiji walked over to Master Zhong who was sitting watching Ray and Zein.


"Good morning, Master Zhong," Eiji did an ojigi, Master Zhong was slightly startled, he turned his head and looked at Eiji. "You..., his sister Gaki, right?," Master Zhong was a little confused, "yes, Master," Eiji was still bowing his back, "lift your head, who did you come here as?, Gaki's younger brother, who's he, or as a disciple?," Master Zhong made his hands open, "train me," Eiji's eyes twinkled, there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, he had a very high purpose, he wanted to match his brother.


Eiji and Master Zhong were now in the middle of the gymnasium, "if you'd like, name the strength you have," Master Zhong softly said, "ak, but the vision can change with what I do," Eiji explained the exact same thing as when he explained to Gaki first. Master Zhong chuckled softly, "son, I don't know what you're capable of, the future is irreversible, they are absolute, unless your strength is time itself," Master Zhong sighed, "to test it, throw these knives at me, I will move quickly, if you can guess where I came from, maybe we can figure out your true strength," Master Zhong thrust 10 blades at Eiji.


Eiji activated his Grim, Master Zhong gave a small smile, in an instant he moved behind Eiji, thus making Eiji a bit of a wave, but Eiji did not throw his knife there, he threw his knife to his right, he threw it, and Master Zhong precisely appeared there, again in an instant Master Zhong disappeared while holding the knife that Eiji threw. Now that Eiji was smoother, he threw the knives precisely, although Master Zhong did some trickery like moving to the top three to five all at once, Eiji still knew where Master Zhong's final location was.


"All the knives have been thrown," Master Zhong walked towards Eiji, Eiji looked exhausted, he threw the knife with a forceful force, "Eiji, you are a unique and innocent child," Master Zhong smiled faintly, "you can see everything, right?," Master Zhong looked calm, "i.., yes," Eiji looked nervous and exhausted, "you should have noticed, when your strength is active, and you're not, your eyes will change from brownish to slightly green, do you know what green means?, green has meaning in life, universe, universe, your power is not to see the future, Eiji, you know, the power you possess has enormous potential," Master Zhing smiled, "so, you didn't deliberately approach my knife?," Eiji looked puzzled, "son, when I teleported, "son, when I teleported, I don't have time to make plans, I always prepare from the beginning, all the knives you throw are a goal that fits on the goal."


Master Zhong actually already knew the true potential of the power that Eiji was wielding, it was an extremely rare power, no matter how weak its controller was, that power was Grim Conqueror, a power that would not be useless, he said, in the end, Master Zhong himself decided to tell Eiji the secret of his strength.


"Eiji, the power you possess is something precious, it is the only item that is entirely yours," Master Zhong sighed again, "if you think that your power is to see a future that suits what you do, then what about the final decision you make?, seeing the future means only seeing the end, seeing the end, instead of looking at the nitty-gritty process, the power you have, is a very rare, almost impossible, force, your Grim is in control of time."
