The Reincarnation Room
Main Mission Completed

When Kurusu swung her sword vertically, Ryan quickly moved to the side. 

Clang

The loud bang was created due to the impact of the sword lusiku on the iron wall. Sparks of fire came out of this blow and made a white streak on the wall.

Ryan who managed to dodge, immediately jumped as hard as he could into the air. Then he turned around and set his foot on the roof of the carriage. Like a bat hanging upside down, Ryan stared at Kurusu with his blue eyes.

Kurusu's body immediately creeped out. He felt very cold and frightened, as if death would come to him.

As if gravity had returned to normal, Ryan began to fall down after taking his knife. But before that, Ryan first kicked the roof of the carriage and slid towards Kurusu. The blade in Rian's hand seemed to turn into sharp fangs that gleamed a cold light from his knife blade.

Reflek, Kurusu immediately raised his sword and resisted Ryan's attack. However, Kurusu had no idea that Ryan had long waited for Kurusu to perform a blocking technique like this.

"I saw it!" With his knife, Ryan cut the death line on Kurusu's sword easily like he was cutting tofu. 

Slash

At that instant, Kurusu's sword was cut into two pieces. "No way!" 

Kurusu was very surprised. He was too late to react when Ryan made a follow-up attack. Quickly, Ryan's knife had been on Kurusu's neck. Blood seemed to flow from the not so deep wounds. With the result of this fight, Ryan then deactivated his Mystic Eye of Death Perception.

The atmosphere of the carriage became silent. Only the sound of the train engine was heard. The samurai seemed to dejavu with this view. How not, 3 days ago, Ryan defeated Kurusu by holding a knife to his neck. And now, that happened again.

Kurusu's eyes looked turbulent. But this time he could not reason anymore. He has to admit that this time Ryan won in an honest and respectful way.

"How's Kurusu? Did you take it this time?"

Kurusu closed her eyes for a moment. "Yes, you're the winner." After which, Kurusu turned around and exited the carriage.

"Wait, Kurusu! Are you really going to get out of this?" yell Kibito.

Kurusu's steps stopped. "This is a deal between me and Ryan. As a samurai, I have always upheld the honor of the samurai. If I renege on my promise, then it would be tantamount to tarnishing my honor as a samurai!"

"But, that guy always sided with those two monsters! What if Ryan let the two monsters go berserk in the carriage? We can all die!"

"If we die, we will! That's a sign we're weak!"

"But …"

"That's enough, I won't interfere anymore with this matter!" Kurusu then left without looking back.

Even so, the samurai were still not calm with the existence of Mumei and Ikoma. They also gave their Steam Gun back to Ryan, Mumei, and Ikoma.

"Damn!" umpat Ikoma's. "Ryan, run fast! You have nothing to do with us. What the samurai were after was us, the kabaneri. Not you!" 

"Look down Ikoma, I'm sure there must be a way out" Ryan said calmly. 'Based on a side mission - Challenge Konichi Kurusu-, the three of us died if I lost the fight earlier. So it should be that if I win, surely the three of us won't die. This means, soon there will be an event that will make the three of us escape death!'

"Yame-sama!"

The samurai stood straight and gave way to Ayame. Behind Ayame, there were two female servants following her.

Konichi Kurusu, who was about to leave, immediately returned and put up a body to protect Ayame. "Ayame-sama, why did Miss come here? This place is dangerous! Please go back to the front carriage."

"I'm sorry Kurusu, but please let me handle this matter. After all, I am the eldest daughter of the Yomogawa family!" Then, Ayame looked towards Ryan. This time Ayame looked very serious and mature.

"Aragane Station has been destroyed. My father's death has also been confirmed. Now I am the only one left of the Yomogawa family. So now, I'm the one in charge of everything in the Koutetsujou."

Ryan can see a bit of sadness when Ayame tells him about her father's death. "Ryan ... Personally, I want to believe that you guys are harmless. But, for the sake of everyone inside Koutetsujou, I have to make sure that you guys are completely harmless."

"I know, Ayame. So, what are you gonna do?" ask Ryan.

Ayame was silent for a moment at Ryan's question. After a few seconds, Ayame finally replied. "I allowed Ikoma and Mumei to stay in Koutetsujou."

"Yame-sama! Please think again about Miss!"

"It's too dangerous!"

"We must drive them out!"

The samurai become rowdy due to Ayame's controversial decision. Hearing this protest, Ayame immediately expressed her heart. "Ryan has done us a lot. Without him, we probably wouldn't have escaped alive from Aragane Station. In addition, Mumei also contributed to help Ryan in protecting the Evacuation process. As for Ikoma, he bravely saved Ryan from the kabane siege. They are all brave men who are willing to protect us! Will you expel those who have contributed to us?"

Even the samurai could not say anything. What Ayame said was true. However, all of that still could not eliminate the fear in the hearts of the samurai.

"Just calm down Ayame, I'll take care of them. I won't let them hurt the people on this train, especially you, Ayame." 

Hearing that, Ayame blushed in embarrassment.

"So, I have a proposal to deal with this matter. Mumei and Ikoma would stay in this rear-end carriage and would not go to any other carriage unless there was an emergency. If the two of them want to go to the front carriage, I will stop them. What say?"

"Well, I'll lend you this carriage! I hope you keep your promise." 

"Thank you Ayame, you are truly a gentle woman. Whoever marries you must be happy." Ryan joked. 

However, in Ayame's ears, he took Ryan's words seriously. Ayame's face was flushed.

"Ryan, don't be so rude!" yelled Kurusu who glared at Ryan sharply. The samurai also protested with Ryan's attitude.

"Kurusu, enough!" After which, Ayame lowered her head slightly at Ryan. He then went with the other samurai.
