They were still walking until they arrived at Taka's shop.
The regulars were confused until Ryoma looks at the powerhouse and asked, "Kawamura-senpai, may I stay one last time?"
"S-sure, my dad wouldn't mind and I don't either" said Taka as he gave the freshman a smile.
Ryoma simply thanked him, "Domo"
"Echizen, did something happen?" Oishi asked.
"Not really…"
Everyone said their good byes and left.
Ryoma walks up to the sushi manager and asked, "May I stay here one more time?"
"Sure! Stay as much as you like! I'll call your parents, alright?"
"Ah, arigato" and with that, Ryoma went upstairs to do his homework. Once he left Taka walks up to his father.
"It must've been a very big fight," said Taka.
"It must have been," Taka's father replied.
It was the middle of the night, Taka was snoring and Ryoma couldn't get any sleep, not because of his senpai but something that worried him. He could feel another energy, another Shinkouteki on his or her way. He could feel it. No, he could feel two. Something was also at mist. He had this feeling, a strong feeling.
'I'm just going crazy, I need to go somewhere to clear my mind' the freshman thought as he quietly changed and went outside for a walk.
He quickly changed to his regular shorts and shirts that his father left in the restaurant during school today. It surprised Ryoma how strong his father must be in a huge storm but then again he is an Echizen and beyond human.
Ryoma walks outside the restaurant and starts walking…aimlessly. Tonight was really foggy; the mist was thick, thicker than trying to look through a wall. Nevertheless, it didn't bother him at all.
'Where am I going to again?'
He still kept walking around aimlessly until he spotted a green stream of light. Now that was interesting, he follows the trail when suddenly he heard voices, singing a song.
"Who will sing my song When I am silent? Who will count the colors of the dawn?"Ryoma ignores the voices and kept following the trail, however, it was becoming durable, as it gets louder.
"Who will follow the lark's flight?
Who will hear its song?"
The freshman quickened his pace, annoyed by the voices and the song. What the hell were they singing anyways?
"When I am silent…
Who will sing for me?"
Rain starts to pour quickly and hard, just what he needed. Suddenly he starts seeing, people coming out of the thick mist.
Kids, younger than him, there were several kids gathering around him. The green mist starts to fade away but the white thick fog was still there. Ryoma was all so confused, why were they all here and why are they still here? One kid comes up to him. He has messy brown hair, his right eye is missing, and he was wearing a kind of school uniform.
"Do you know Umi?"
Ryoma blinked at him and answered, "Yes"
"Umi…where is she?"
"…She's dead…"
"…Did he kill her too?"
"Who he?"
"The person who also killed us all…her father…"
There was a moment of dead silence. Ryoma was shocked being killed by your own father.
"…W-why?"
"You're the Shinkouteki, you should know"
Ryoma jumped when he heard the dark voice behind him. All the little kids were then filled with fear and runs off, disappearing through the mist. The maniac shadow laughed, which made Ryoma pissed.
"Kisama! Who the hell do you think you are?" Ryoma demanded as he was now covered in a dark crimson aura.
The shadow laughed and simply said, "I am the demon that rules this place where that man killed all the children, he's been doing this for years! Now, where is the dead girl?"
Ryoma took a step back; this wasn't looking good but decided to stall time, "What is your motives?"
The demo smirked and said, "To be honest, I have nothing else but to hold these children captive. No matter what you do, you can't do anything to save them. It's already too late. They've been here for 20 years, older than you have. Hatred here is a much powerful aura than yours"
Ryoma just scowled at him and said, "I already know that part, what I want to know now is why that man killed them all?"
"Quite easy, the man that killed all these children is a maniac. He was placed in the institution since he was 12 years old. He killed all these children just because they wouldn't let him play in the sand box"
"ARGH! Tell me the real truth!"
"It is brat! Now be quiet and let me continue! Five years after he was released, he starts killing people, again as usual but he was never caught. Do you know why he killed al those people and why he was put in the institution again for another 5 years?"
"…He thought he saw…demons…"
"Bingo!"
Ryoma scowls at him again. Gosh, who would have known some demons are so childish and annoying! Then an idea popped into the boy's head.
"Oi!"
"Hm?"
"How about a deal?"
The demon blinked, "A deal?"
Ryoma smirks, he got all his attention. "You know that a man that committed such crimes for so many years have the strongest sins, right?"
"Right, and?"
"What if I hunt down that man for you, in exchange for all the people that you held captive and set them all free!"
The children and some other adults heard the conversation as they step out of the fog to listen to the bargain with full attention.
"Hmm…the man's sin cost more than all of these people…it'd be enough for me to go back to the pit…"
"That man is going down sooner or later"
"Hmm…you got yourself a deal! I'd shake your hand but you'd be freak"
"Nice making business for you-"
"Not so fast! I have but one condition"
"…What kind?"
"Bring him to me before the first snowflake falls"
Ryoma's smirk widened, "That's enough time for me"
"You better hold out on the deal or else, everyone here will be my prisoners for all eternity…" With that said the shadow along with all the spirits left with the fog as it starts to clear out. Ryoma just stood there, watching the thick white fog fading away.
"Oi! Echizen!"
Ryoma turns around to see the powerhouse third year, Taka.
"Kawamura-senpai?"
"What are you doing out here? You're not supposed to be here! Now come on, let's go"
They start walking back to the restaurant, once they arrived, Kawamura starts making some cocoa for him and Ryoma. Later on, they all sat down, enjoying their drink.
"…Echizen?"
"Hm?"
"What were you doing outside?"
"…I figured it out who killed Umi…"
Kawamura choked on his cocoa, shocked by the info, and asked without hesitance, "Who?"
"…Her father…her father killed him…"
Sorry if it was such a rush, I was in a hurry!
