The Reincarnation Room
Increasingly Familiar

When Ryan woke up, he felt that his entire body was very weak. Not only physical weakness, but also a sense of weakness in his soul. 

This helplessness made Ryan unable to lift his own body.In addition, his body also felt very tired and sleepy. 

"Is this a side effect of using Stigma? But it is natural for a strong Ability (Skill) like Stigma."

"Again, the burden on the physical body will disappear as I get stronger. I can also handle it by using potions or pastries."

"Which is the problem, how can I recover the burden that is on my soul?"

"So far, I have never seen any Goods (Item) that can restore the soul. But I'm sure, in the Reincarnation Room, there must be some stuff (Item) that can be used to restore the soul."

"At least, the Stigma (Skill) Ability does deserve me to use as an ace."

"I am still very weak. If only I hadn't managed to obtain the Flashing Dash (Senso) and Flashing Sheath (Sensa) Abilities, I wouldn't have been able to defeat Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)."

"It seems that after this, I should return to training at the Reincarnation Room training house to improve my abilities."

After Ryan finished thinking about the move forward, Ryan began to look around him. Now he is in a room measuring 4x4 which almost collapsed. Visible walls and roof full of holes and cracks.

When Ryan looked to the right, he was quite surprised by the scenery there. Right on Ryan's right side, lay a beautiful woman who looked very exhausted. 

In Alisa's hand, there was a handkerchief filled with bloodstains. But strangely, Alisa's body still looks dirty and there are many blood spots around her mouth.

Ryan then tried to look at his body. It turned out, his body had now been cleared of blood stains. "So, as long as I passed out, he kept taking care of me."

“Honestly, I didn't expect Alisa would take care of me until like this.” 

“In my plan, when I passed out, Alisa would just take my body to a safe place and keep me as a payment for having protected her while Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) would kill her.” 

“But, the thing he did this time was really not in accordance with his character, it was strange ..”

Although Ryan is still suspicious of Alisa's motives to take care of him, Ryan still feels grateful to him. 

Ryan then let out a warm smile while stroking Alisa's hair. “Thank you ..”

“Hoaam~” Alisa suddenly yawns and opens her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, Alisa saw that Ryan had sat down and was stroking her hair gently. The warm smile on Ryan's face made Alisa's heart beat fast.

Deg Deg Deg Deg

‘What happened to me? Am I sick?’ muttered Alisa.

“Ah, sorry ... it looks like I woke you.” said Ryan who had pulled back his hand. 

  “A-I'm fine. More importantly, how are you doing? Are you okay?” alisa asked with anxiety.

“Calm down, I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while to recover a bit of my strength.”

“Thankful ..”

Looking at Alisa's expression that looked joyful and relieved, Ryan became a little surprised. ‘Is this person in front of me really Alisa? As far as I know, Alisa never showed her emotions! What exactly happened during my fainting!?’

After learning of Ryan's condition, Alisa returns to her cold mode. As if, the expression he had displayed earlier was just an illusion. 

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere rippled between Ryan and Alisa.

Unable to bear this awkward atmosphere, Ryan asked Alisa. "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It shouldn't be until one day, because I brought you here last night" Alisa replied in a low voice. In other words, Alisa took care of Ryan all night.

“Then, what happened to Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)?”

Ryan's question made Alisa suspicious. If Ryan is still conscious, then it should be, Ryan can see the escape of Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father). ‘Could Ryan's last words back then have been just a bluff?’

Seeing Alisa's expression, Ryan could guess the contents of Alisa's mind. “Honestly, by then I had reached the limit.”

“However, I can still launch one last attack. So, had Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) chosen to attack me, then I would have used all my last strength to slash it!”

Ryan then smiled, but his eyes looked very serious and hateful. “If I'm grateful he'd rather run away than keep attacking me, but if we meet again, I'll make sure I kill him!”

Hearing Ryan's last sentence, Alisa's expression became even more complicated.

“Why?" Ryan looked at Alisa's complicated gaze and said, "Aren't you willing to steal your prey?"

"The prey?" Alisa had no power to laugh at herself, "I am not at all a match for Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father). How could I call him a victim. There are, even I who became the prey …" 

Alisa looks very disappointed with the power she has now. He then lowered his head while clenching his hands tightly. In his mind, the memory of both his parents was devoured by Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) again appeared.

Gently, Ryan held onto both of Alisa's hands. “I'm sure you can become stronger from now on. Don't be afraid of your weakness. You have to dare to face it.”

This time, Ryan's words really do seep into Alisa's heart.

“I'll tell you something ... in this world, there's nothing I can't kill ..”

"So, if you're really scared, don't worry .. That fear of yours, I'll kill him!"

"After that, all you need to do is keep moving forward to reach your goal."

"Trust me, you can count on me …."

Hearing Ryan's words, Alisa was completely shocked. He then lifted his head and looked at Ryan with eyes full of life.

The sadness and fear within Alisa gradually began to disappear.

Alisa then returned Ryan's hand. The two of them now hold hands. There was no longer a cold and indifferent expression on Alisa's face.

The awkward atmosphere between Ryan and Alisa gradually turned warm.

For half a day, the two of them chatted with each other. But of course, Ryan was the one who spoke the most. Alisa is a good listener. Several times, Alisa also told me about her childhood.

Without feeling it, the sky quickly turned dark again. The sparkling stars in the sky began to appear accompanying the moon.

In an open space surrounded by the ruins of a large abandoned building, darkness enveloped the earth.  However, there was no way to hide the patches of blood that had dried on the ground.

The three bodies of Vajra, which had been lying among the ruins the previous night, had now been eaten away by other Aragami.

However, the group of Aragami who had gathered here before, had yet to fully leave. It appears that a large number of Ogretail are still wandering in the ruins.

Besides Ogretail, there was a 2-meter-tall Aragami figure standing in front of the Helicopter.

The Aragami figure has a posture similar to humans. However, he had a pair of iron wings joined by his arms.

In a corner of the ruins, next to the abandoned mansion, Ryan and Alisa hide behind the darkness of the night while keeping an eye on Aragami-Aragami who roam around the Helicopter.

"Is that Chi-You?" ryan asked as he looked towards the iron-winged Aragami.

Alisa nodded her head at Ryan.

After confirming the identity of the alien Aragami, Ryan began to smile grinningly. "In that case, it's time to start a massacre …"
