The Another Soul
Ch. 43 [Help]

"Where are you taking me?"

I asked Orga who was sitting next to Reina who was driving.

Orga looked back, glancing at me for a moment before replying. "We'll see the Akai kingdom up close."

"Akai Kingdom?"

"Yes, the kingdom you now live in is the kingdom of Akai. And the name of the district you live in is Agni."

I became confused. "How many districts are there?"

"Hmm..I guess seven?"

"Seven?"

"Yes. Agni, Indra, Apollo, Ra, Ishtar, Marama, and Virka."

I froze hearing it. "The names of the goddess gods are very famous."

I was nervous to hear it. Come on, I am an earthling who suddenly heard the name of the God Goddess who is quite famous in my place. Not to mention they live here like other humans.

What if I meet one of them?

"Just relax, you won't meet any of them, maybe."

I heard a tone of doubt at the end he said. Orga was even doubtful of his own words.

We stopped at the red light. Everything looks the same as my world, except here there are all sorts of races that run quietly. I saw Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, Gnomes, Half beasts, Vampires and there were a few other ordinary humans.

It's a strange sight, but I'm glad to see it.

I saw on the side of the road there was a street beggar in his shabby clothes. Not just one, but five.

I frowned seeing him.

"There's even a beggar?"

Orga looked in the same direction. "That's natural. In your world isn't this commonplace?"

I was silent hearing it. Beggars are common. But I didn't expect Egolas to exist in the world either.

I think people are more prosperous here than on earth.

I looked at the beggar, and then I stared at the dark, narrow alley.

I saw two big men cornered one woman. The woman continued to retreat until she hit the wall. Although far away, I could see the twinkle of fear from his eyes.

Sometimes the woman shook her head then spoke, but did not seem to be listened to by the two men.

I was upset to see him.

For a moment I kept quiet, watching them. Eventually the car was running because of the green light.

I don't know why I feel bad.

"Curtain! Reina stop!"

I pulled Reina's shoulder. Suddenly Reina stopped the car. It makes us almost send what is in front of us.

I immediately opened the seatbelt, then opened the car door and ran away leaving Orga and Reina who were shouting to call me.

"Why are you coming to me again?"

"Oh sweetie's. You're pretty sweet. I just want to collect your father's debt that's been over two months late."

"Why are you looking for me! Just find my dad!"

The two big men stepped closer to me who was slowly going back and forth until I felt a slightly mossy wall.

"You know sweet. Your father actually sold you to us."

I shook my head. "No! I can't believe your bullshit!"

"You don't believe it? Then I'll make you believe, my sweet."

One of the men held both of my hands, I rebelled. Trying to let go of his very strong quarrel. But it is useless, the power of a large muscular man and the energy of a helpless little girl will not be able to win.

"Take me off!"

The man who was holding me back laughed. "Keep yelling sweet. No one will help you."

I was afraid to hear his words. The man in front of me began to open one by one the buttons of my blue shirt. I'm rebelling, but it's free.

My tears fell seeing these two big men drop my pride.

'Please! Please anyone!'

TAPS...TAPS..TAPS..BRAKK...BRUKK....

I opened my previously closed eyes. I was shocked when I saw the man who was before me had fallen with a bony-looking face.

"Damn you!"

The man who was holding me back took me off. I quickly got away from the fight between the two of them. I was lucky to stay away from both of them. Right now there was a black-haired boy kicking the man who was holding me back.

But the man held back his kick. The black hair did not lose his mind, he clamped the man's neck using both of his legs. Then he dropped himself and both of his legs threw the man who was holding me down.

At first glance I heard the sound of bone cracks. I became sad to hear it.

"Sergio! What do you mean go diek-HEHH...!? WHAT'S THIS?!"

I saw a man with green hair and glasses. Her eyes were red and she was wearing a brown parachute jacket that made her look cool.

I saw the black hair cleaning her clothes. Then he looked at me.

I was shocked to see it.

"You okay?"

"Please fix your shirt."

I saw my clothes. My face flushed for a moment. I didn't think the buttons were open until it looked like the color of the bra I was wearing today.

I quickly buttoned my clothes.

"Sergio, so this is what got you out of the car?"

"Yes, I really wanted to ignore it. But I feel like I'd regret it if I didn't help her."

I'm looking to hear it. Doesn't that mean he's seen me from the beginning.

"Ckckckck.severe injuries you gave me. Where'd you learn that?"

I saw the green hair squatting on the man holding me back. He tried to feel a heartbeat, then he slapped.

"Good, still alive. Sergio, you haven't answered my question."

It looks like this black hair guy's name is Sergio. I heard it a few times, so I made sure his name was Sergio. He looked dreamy, then he regained his senses from his daydream when the green-haired man asked.

"From the movie?"

I heard Sergio hesitating about what he said.

"The film? You're mimicking martial moves just from the movie!"

I saw the green hair surprised to hear it. Sergio nodded.

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

The green hair shook quickly. "No, but I understand. You're a monster."

"Hey, I don't like being considered a monster."

"So what are we gonna do about these two guys?"

The green hair looks unconcerned with Sergio's protection.

Unexpectedly Sergio looked at me.

"If it's up to him."

"Eh? Me? But it wasn't you who defeated him."

"I was just helping. So it's up to you now. Orga, let's go."

"okay."

The green hair stood up. He followed Sergio who had gone first. I stared confusedly at the two people who were unconscious.

Oh yeah, I forgot one thing.

"Wait on! What's yourname?"

Actually I know his name. But I want to hear it out of his mouth.

He stopped, then looked at me. "Sergio Vandelhein."

He's back on his way. Leaving me in a narrow, dark alley. Until Sergio's back is not visible anymore, I'm still standing inside this narrow alley.

I breathe heavily.

Now, what should you do, Atra.
