The Reincarnation Room
Shana's Complicated Feelings

The afternoon quickly turned into night.

After a long day of practice, Ryan and Shana walk the Misaki bridge to the residential area.

Of course, the two did not walk side by side.

Ryan's relaxed steps are like walking around enjoying the night view of the river, making it look charismatic.

While in front of Ryan, Shana stepped very roughly and exuded an extremely ominous aura.

Feeling the sound of relaxed footsteps behind her, Shana did not look back at all and just continued to grumble to vent her heart.

'Really a shitty guy!'

Although Shana thinks like that, but at the same time, Shana feels that she does not really hate Ryan.

Although Shana's attitude towards Ryan is often harsh, Ryan has often given Shana a lot of help. Even when Shana is as upset as she is today, Ryan doesn't hesitate to help her and get her back excited.

Ryan also seems to be very reliable.

His appearance was always relaxed during ordinary days, but turned calm and bloodthirsty while fighting.

Ryan looks not so serious, but every opinion expressed is very accurate and precise.

And more importantly, the unyielding determination that Ryan showed. With a badly injured human body, Ryan never backed down at all.

All these factors make Shana can't hate Ryan. In fact, in Shana's eyes, Ryan actually seemed to shine.

'I don't know why, even though it's so annoying, but Ryan also looks cool and handsome …'

These two very different moods had caused Shana to fall into a mess she had never experienced before.

Even today, Shana feels that Ryan's hug all day was very warm. And it makes Shana feel very comfortable with Ryan. But of course, with her high self-esteem, even Shana will never admit it.

Not wanting to be honest with her feelings, this is the reason Shana is always irritated and angry with Ryan.

Under such circumstances, it seems that even Alastor can clearly feel Shana's anger and choose to remain silent.

After a while of walking in a silent atmosphere, Ryan finally started to open his mouth. "Shana, when are you going to get out of here?"

Deg

Shana's heart seemed to jump as soon as she heard this. Shana's feet inevitably stopped violently.

Shana did not expect that this question would come up all of a sudden. Moreover, this happened when Shana began to be able to accept the existence of Ryan in her life. 

"I advise you to leave Misaki city." Ryan stopped his steps. In a relaxed but serious tone, Ryan continued. "Furthermore, leave the affairs of Bal Masque or other Crimson Denizen who are eyeing Reiji Maigo to me. I don't want to see you hurt again."

Without even listening to Ryan's explanation again, Shana interrupted immediately. "I won't leave until we solve all these problems together."

To be honest, Shana herself was quite surprised by the words she just said. Because all this time, Shana had never once thought of fighting Crimson Denizen with others.

Ryan smiled nosily and said, "Is it because of the Flame Haze mission? Or because you can't break up with me?"

Shana with her red cheeks and a slightly awkward tone of speech said, "Ten-of course impossible. I-I-I just don't want Reiji Maigo to fall into the hands of Bal Masque or any other Crimson Denizen. It would be a big deal if it fell into their hands. Right, that's why I'm staying here."

Although Shana's manner of speaking seemed unconvincing, Ryan could only smile gently and shrug his shoulders. "I thought you'd say that."

After that, Ryan again stepped forward past Shana who was still standing still in front of him.

As the two of them walked back in silence, it was now Alastor's turn to speak. 

"Have you never thought of leaving this city? I'm afraid this isn't a good thing if you continue to stay here."

Alastor's words are correct. Reiji Maigo's presence in Ryan's hands makes it a delicious cake. This certainly invites the arrival of Crimson Denizen and large organizations such as Bal Masque to this city.

There was no doubt that the arrival of these Crimson Denizen would bring no benefit to Misaki City.

If one could not do well, then the entire human race in this city would probably be devoured by the Denizen who was looking for Reiji Maigo.

Ryan certainly doesn't care about that. 

Shana and Alastor. If that happens, you can imagine how much distortion is created in this city.

"I know what you're thinking." Ryan did not look back and calmly said, "But I think that it is better that I stay and wait for their arrival here."

"Waiting for their arrival here?" Shana doesn't understand Ryan's intentions.

"Why?" Alastor asked the question directly.

Facing this question, Ryan's voice slowly sounded. "From antiquity to the present, there are always some places that will be the center of the whirlpool as well as a destiny. This vortex attracts the presence of various creatures and becomes a place of war.”

"And Misaki City is such a place." Ryan said very emphatically, "Even without my existence or Reiji Maigo's whereabouts, this place has become the center of the battlefield." 

"Of course, this whirlpool of fate will still continue to attract all kinds of creatures, whether it be Crimson Denizen or any other Flame Haze "

"I'm sure you can feel it too?"

"The air here, there's always the smell of smoke."

Hearing Ryan's explanation, both Shana and Alastor both fell silent.

Ryan's words had no basis at all.

However, as Ryan said, both Shana and Alastor have a feeling that the city is indeed filled with an unusual atmosphere.

The atmosphere is like a border area that is often a battleground. There was a smell of smoke that no one else could see.

Therefore, both Shana and Alastor agree with Ryan's words.

Misaki City will definitely become a battleground.

And it was destined.

"After all, Friagne had planned to activate the City Devourer in this city. He has swallowed many humans and created Torch in large numbers. Even if the distortions in this city can be soothed, but it's only temporary."

Ryan said, "The distortion in this city has reached a level that cannot be ignored. Even without my existence, without Reiji Maigo, this distortion alone would attract a wide variety of people for various reasons and purposes."

Seeing the distortions occurring, the Flame Haze was definitely coming.

And the Crimson Denizen with multiple purposes, will definitely engage in the same way as bees are attracted to poisonous flowers.

"So, rather than leaving, it is better to stay put and prepare for the coming storm."

Ryan grinned. "I can't wait to embarrass the guests that are coming."
