World trigger
Osamu and his squad finally got the ticket to the expedition ship.
They couldn't believe it,all theirs hard work had paid off and they were a little closer to their goal.
Yuma was going to die anytime and they didn't know when, that's why they were so eager to join the expedition, also Chika's brother(Osamu's mentor) disappeared, all traces indicated that he had gone to the other world(the neighbor's world).
The expedition was their only chance to save these two.
Osamu sighed in relief when they defeated Ninomiya and was going to relax till the expedition , however a sudden call made him shiver.
The sound of his footsteps echoed in the now empty corridor, all along the way Osamu kept asking himself why he called him.
"It's nothing" he thought, "maybe he wants to congratulate with him?No impossible, why should the the most important person of the headquarters come and congratulate with him, a B agent?It made no sense. So why had he called him, had he changed his mind and no longer wanted his team to participate in the expedition?"
Whatever he wanted, Osamu was going to find out now.
He knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
"Come"
Osamu entered the room , waiting for him, was and old man in his forty with a scar on his face.
"Commander Kido, I heard that you wanted to see me",
"That's right,close the door, I want to discuss with you about a serious matter",
"Sit".
"Congratulations, I heard that you and your team made it to the expedition , you have exceeded my expectations"
"Thank you sir".
"And is about that, that I called you today"
Commander Kido paused for a second, thinking about something,
"I'm going to say it straight, I don't think that you Mikumo will make it on this expedition.
Mikumo was going to say something but he was interrupted by Kido.
"Let your comrades be part of it
"Sir, you don't have to worry is my duty to go and if I die knowing that I have helped humanity even for a little, I will be happy",
"Listen,I don't think that you understand what I'm saying, I don't need you,you are weak, let's be honest, up until now you've only made it because you have been teamed with strong teammates.
You'd just get in their way."
"Bu-"
"You know,I respect you, you joined Border because you wanted to protect your mentor's sister, and you did it, you partecipated on the great invasion and saved agent Amatori, but there are times when you have to let it all go and realize that if you continue like this you won't make it out alive,"
"You are not made for combat. Listen, let's do this, what do you say if you become the operator of another squad?I know that it's hard for you, but if you continue to stay with them,there will be a time when the opponent will be too hard for you and they will get hurt trying protecting you and I know that you don't want that right?",
"Think about it".
He was right, Osamu knew that, he was weak and if his teammates were going to pay it for his incompetence , it was not worth it.
"I had thought about and I think that you are right,I'm going to to take my things.
Commander Kido."
And with that Mikumo was ready to close that chapter of his life as a border agent.
Walking that corridor was the hardest thing that he had ever did, he didn't have the strength to move, it was as if everything he had worked up till now was falling apart.
Mikumo didn't even have the strength to raise his head as he walked,till he bumped into someone,
"Sorry"
He continued to walk without even worrying about seeing who that person was.
"Hey, you don't even greet me?What?Did the cat eat your tongue? Seeing how you won this game, I was thinking about congratulating to you, but now I've changed my mind",
Upon hearing the sudden voice,Mikumo immediately raised his head and fixed with his finger his own glasses.
"I'm sorry Kikucihara-senpai, I didn't see you. I was immersed in my thoughts",
"I had already understood this from how you completely ignored ."
He continued speaking while he holded an ice cream on his hand.
"I'm sorry but now I've to go, I've an important thing to do" said Mikumo that continued walking without even hearing the answer.
"Today he is strange.Whatever.
Mikumo continued walking and thought if it was the case to speak with his teammates, no there was no need, most likely Commander Kido had already warned them.
Now everything he had to do was to take his things and then he would never see them again.
Mikumo was thinking about all the things that he did as an agent, the meeting with Yuma, the battle against Kazama-senpai, the battle against Midorikawa-san, the great invasion and his injuries, all the B-squads that he had meet, he thought if all the things that he did till now was all vane.
