The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
279. The falling flower
"You can stay here for a while." Vina opened the door slowly and entered, "Consider the house by yourself..."
Vina's house is simple, just like the house where the RedWhite higher-ups live, because according to the records I've read, the higher-ups are not allowed to have a lot of valuable assets in his house, so that they are ready to be called whenever necessary.
Well, it's more or less like a military dormitory, simple as that...
"After all..." Vina sat on the sofa, "There's Andhika who offers her place to stay as a place to rest, there's also Dusk, even we have a military dormitory, why would you prefer a simple place like this?"
"Well, what's the cause?" I sat down on the chair then placed my sword on the table, "What's it because it's interesting to me?"
"Whatever..." Vina stood up again and she left, "I'll prepare some water for you to take a bath."
Ah yes, Vina complained about her position that was lowered by Andhika during the war yesterday... Not complaining anyway, more precisely like telling me to lower Andhika and raise Vina to be the vice chairman of RedWhite again...
Yes, according to Vina's report, due to a split that he accidentally did, Andhika came and immediately revoked his position and made himself the vice chairman of RedWhite.
If I could say, Andhika's decision at that time was correct, even though I had not heard the full story from Andhika directly.
Andhika who has been trained in the military since childhood must have remained calm and level-headed in all situations, so I guess it's a mistake I didn't look at her when I appointed the vice-chairman of RedWhite first.
But well, after the war is over, the Monsters have been exterminated, what will I do next?
"It's tea..." Vina placed the cup filled with golden yellow liquid in front of me, "Drink first, all day you must be tired..."
He sat next to me and... Tuck his head on my shoulder? What's he doing?
"Fortunately you're back." she said slowly, and I could hear her.
"I'm sorry if I didn't do as you ordered, until RedWhite was almost destroyed by then..."
Well, in the end Vina is still a woman who has a mental fifteen-year-old child in general...
"Are you going to be angry?" ask her, and I let out my breath.
"Unfortunately not, everyone must have made a mistake, and that is commonplace." I replied.
My right hand was pulled and then it felt like my hand was held, well, for a while this alone was enough...

"So I'm being blasphemed again? Even when you explained that I was still fighting the enemy in a foreign place?"
I felt indignant, how could they still think so while the world had been saved?
"So, the behavior of random people is unpredictable.." I heard Vina replied, "We have tried to explain, but it seems they remain firm in their stance."
A week had passed since the war was over, and the next day after the war was over, the civilians returned to their homes... Or maybe more precisely I call the camp, because the condition of the world at that time was destroyed by the Strategic Missile that was fired destroyed everything...
In the protection of the IHO, several countries began their recovery, and until I returned to this world, development was still being carried out.
"With your arrival, we hope that the chaos of public mistrust of the military can disappear" Vina said, "And so, quickly eat your breakfast, we must return to headquarters!"
Oh yes, I forgot...
I put down my phone and went back to eating, noiseless as my father once taught me.

Tokyo, Japan...
Yuuki placed a stack of papers on the table, "William, Andhika, and Al are still helping out in America, because right now we are still looking for Carroline's body that we still haven't found to date."
I read the papers I was given, and I was a little horrified when I read them...
Esterosa de Esquede is found in the condition of right shoulder pierced, left arm bone slashed, left back stabbed from behind many times, and lastly is a wide hollow stomach.
Alteron de Esquede is found in the condition of the body without the left hand as well as the right hand, a wide perforated stomach, a small hollow right chest, and the last is a very wide hole from the left chest to the bottom, looks like a large sword puncture mark. I can't imagine what kind of pain the young man was feeling...
Mir Sveta, the Russian guard, died in a hollow back, very wide... That was the only result of his autopsy.
John Person died in a fragmentary body condition, I became more and more horrified during the third World War...
SS-ranked hunters Alex Curran and Joko Taru are missing, their bodies undiscovered, but Al has decided that both have died on their mission to send supplies around the world.
"Then, what is now done after the autopsy is completed?" I asked Yuuki.
"We plan to return their bodies to their respective countries, to be buried with honor." he replied, "Before that, I wanted to talk about something..."
"What's that?" ask me while raising my eyebrows.
"About your relationship with Watcher codename Storm Bringer..."

I stood before the graves of my mother and Alteron, and I saw their full names, their last positions, their dates of birth, and the dates they fell on their graves.
I feel sorry for the deaths of those who died, but why regret it? War is like that, there are always lives that go in every battle...
Ah, did I start to lose my humanity as a result of I turning into a Monarch?
I don't know, I don't understand it either, I feel sad, but I can't shed a single tear from my eyes...
There are a lot of incomplete bodies found all over the world, so I know that the attacking Monsters are more savage and more ferocious than they know, so maybe our preparations have not been as good as that, so many hunters are killed...
No more Strategic Missile reserves left, not many military vehicles left, many Hunters are also not in their prime condition, the army is also left a little, a little, maybe this is a hard win called a win for me...
"Mother, Alteron, I've made sure your deaths aren't in vain." I raised my hand and sprinkled flowers over my mother's grave, "You can rest in peace..."
I sprinkled flowers on top of Alteron's grave, then I left the cemetery that was to be the final resting place of the best Hunters in Europe...

"Grandfather, I've done the mission that grandfather gave me.." I placed the Black Fire Sword on top of my grandfather's grave, "And this old sword has completed its final task..."
I sat cross-legged in front of a medium-sized tomb that read "Star of Heaven", the name of my grandfather, then I smiled faintly.
When was the last time I sat in front of my grandfather like this? Maybe five? Or seven years ago? I don't know, but it feels like I haven't sat in front of him like this in a long time?
"Grandfather, I've grown up, I've completed the task that grandfather gave me, and maybe, I'll be confused about what I'm going to do." I closed my eyes.
Yeah, here's the problem...
If the war is over, the Monster is gone from the world, what would a Hunter rank SSS like me do? And my friends too?
Apparently, this is something that is difficult to decide easily...
