“Graa”

The Kabanes of the special carriage began to clash with the 20 Hunters chasing Ryan. At that instant, the carriage became a battleground.

“Arghh!" The Hunters panicked at the large number of kabanes coming out of the special carriage. The cries of Hunter and kabane chime into one another, creating an echoing death melody filled the carriage.

“Shoot!”

Dor Dor Dor Dor

“Graa”

Like wild animals, the Kabane attacked blindly. They did not care at all about the bullets the Hunters fired. Some kabanes fell because of the shooting. However, the amount is very few and insignificant. The bloodthirsty Kabane did not hesitate to bite and tear Hunter's neck. Not until 10 minutes, all 20 Hunters were killed.

But, death is a luxury for kabane victims. Within minutes, one by one the bodies of Hunter rose. The 20 Hunters then joined the other kabane horde towards the next carriage.

When hell had gone down inside the carriage, Ryan had been on the roof of the carriage. A strong wind blew his clothes and hair. "Haah~ is next for the plan."

When Ryan was about to leave, someone suddenly attacked Ryan from behind. Sensing the existence of someone behind him, Ryan looked back and saw a shadow quickly cast his punch. Not being able to avoid it, Ryan hit the guy back.

Buccancy

Both of them fell to the point of rolling over on the carriage. But the person got up faster and immediately pulled out a kunai on Ryan's neck that was still trying to get up. Ryan's neck felt cold at Kunai's point. When Ryan looked up, Ryan realized that the person who attacked him was Mumei.

“Why?” Feelings of anger and also regret pondered from Mumei's tone of speech. “Why are you doing all this!?”

Seeing Mumei's cute face, Ryan smiled as if he didn't care about Mumei's anger. “I didn't expect you'd come to see me in person. I know you must miss me.”

Of course, Ryan's words made Mumei even more angry. “Stop your joke! Why do you do all this?”

Ryan's expression turned serious. “Tega said? Then what about your brother? He slashed my chest until I almost died! And what about the Hunters? They all pointed their guns at me! Can I not defend myself? Don't be selfish, Mumei ..”

“But because of you, many people died!” shout Mumei.

Ryan was silent when he heard it. Ryan realized, because of his actions, a lot of people died, either by his own hands, or by the kabane. For Ryan who was once just an ordinary office worker, today is the first time he has killed a human.

‘Either why, the more days, the more I look lightly at death. I even had the thought that killing was common. Since when did I become like this!? Is this a side effect of Mystic Eye of Death Perception?’ thought Ryan.

After a moment of silence, Ryan opened his mouth. “I believe that the dead in their hands are much more than what I have done. You should understand that.”

“Killing innocent people, maybe it's considered a crime here. But, killing these Hunters is not a crime for me. Because compared to the number of people you kill with the number of people they've killed, I'm sure they're more than me.”

“Include your beloved brother!” 

Ryan then continued his talk. “You know exactly what Amatori Biba is like. You admire your brother so much that you close your eyes when your brother makes a mistake.”

Rian looked at Mumei's eyes seriously. “I know you've been following your brother since you were a kid. So it is natural that at that time you can not distinguish what is right and what is wrong. But you're an adult now. You must be starting to realize, no, about anything your brother has ever done.”

“No! That's not true! My brother is a hero! Heroes are never wrong! Heroes have no sin!” bela Mumei's.

“Is that so? I can't believe you never questioned your brother's actions, like when Biba killed his men.” Mumei's breathing stopped for a moment. These words seemed to dig up the old wounds that he had been deepening in his heart.

“If you don't want to admit it, then let me say it.” Ryan said in a calm tone. “Amatori Biba is not a hero. The hero will never kill his followers or comrades. But look, what did Biba do? He killed his own men just because they were no longer useful to him.”

Ryan, who has watched Kabaneri Anime The Iron Fortress, knows that Mumei can not forget one incident that happened in the past. At that time, Mumei's close friend who is also a Hunter, was shot dead by Biba. This incident is still embedded in Mumei's heart until now. 

“I-it .. because they are weak.” Mumei gritted her teeth and whispered. “Never said, the weak have no right to live in an era like this. Only strong people deserve to live in this era.”

“Therefore, I continue to fight against the kabane. I want to be useful to Brother. Because if I am weak, then Big Brother will throw me away! Just like the people you killed. It was all because they were all weak!”

Ryan smiled. “Because they are weak, so they can die, right? Then, based on your logic, it shouldn't matter if I kill those Hunters. Because their deaths were caused by their weak selves, right?” 

Mumei was stunned to hear Ryan's words. As Ryan was looking at Mumei, he saw a shadow of someone approaching the two of them. 

Jleb

Blood poured out like rainwater drenched Ryan's face.

"Ughhh!" An expression of disbelief mixed with anger was clearly visible on Ryan's face.

Seeing Ryan's reaction, Mumei smiled with her body starting to limp. He then looked down and saw a sword piercing through his body and stabbing Ryan in the stomach.

"Uhuk" Mumei started spewing blood from her mouth. Slowly, he looked back. "Ka .. sis …"

Behind Mumei, Amatori Biba stands while thrusting his sword into Mumei's body. His facial expression looked ordinary and flat, as if he did not care at all about the fate of his adopted sister.

"To ... napa?" 

But Biba did not heed Mumei's question at all. All in Biba's sight, was Ryan lying down. He did not even glance at Mumei who was occupying Ryan's body at all.

"I didn't expect you to quickly shift Mumei. Finally my prick slipped a few pents from his heart, you're really great." After saying that, Biba pulled his sword from Mumei's chest. At that instant, Mumei's body lost its power and fell on Ryan's body.

Biba then raised his sword as high as possible, as if he wanted to give the ultimate attack.
