Chereads / Tiger Saber / Chapter 17 - The Deadly Sins

Chapter 17 - The Deadly Sins

October, the month where dried leaves starts to fall from their respective trees. In short, It's already fall. It's been 2 months since the Cultural Festival, and Kazuya continued on his daily life.

After he performed at the stage, he received the right to be called "Yui's friend." It's an honor for her fans, but not for Kazuya. He explained the situation to his guy friends and immediately understood them.

It's been two months since that day, and he still haven't felt any Soul Seals.

"I'm actually collecting Soul Seals at a very slow pace, aren't I? It's been 7 months since I came here, and I only collected 5 Soul Seals."

It crossed his mind while he's walking towards his house. His usual friends have something to do so they didn't came home together.

"Now that I think about it, there's this matter with Kakuju too."

He stopped walking and just looked at the ground.

"I wonder what happened to his Soul Seals?"

Kazuya only knew that Kakuju's Soul Seals resides to them, but he didn't knew anything besides that one piece information.

"It's the Deadly Sins, I heard they're going to patrol here."

"Really? Then, let's get out of here."

Kazuya heard whispers from nearby people.

"The Deadly Sins, huh? Just what are they?"

Kazuya asked himself the meaning of those whispers. Just what is the Deadly Sins? From those whisper, It seems it's a living being. Even though all of the people had gone, Kazuya still continued to walk on his way towards his house. Completely ignoring the whispers of the people.

"Brooom! Brooom!"

After some minutes, the sound of motorbike is so loud that Kazuya can even hear it very clearly. He stopped for a while to wait for the motorbike to pass.

Kazuya thought that It's just one motorbike but when they've appeared, they're in group. It's a total of 30 motorbikes and a person at the lead. The leader wears his helmet so you can see his face.

When the motorbikes finally passed by, Kazuya felt an odd sensation. This sensation that he already felt for the Sixth time. Yes, this is the sensation of a Soul Seal!

+++++

"Boss, there's something wrong here!"

"What is it?"

"Someone is chasing us!"

The leader of the biker gang looked at the road for a moment to think. In front of the information that his underlings have discovered, he stopped to think for a moment.

"They must be the Dragon Warriors. Tsk, so they're asking for a fight here, huh?"

"No, It's not the Dragon Warriors! If they're the Dragon Warriors we could be familiar with their faces, but this guy..."

A chaser they've never faced before, just who is this chaser? After some thinking to who it is, the leader finally gave up and asked the rider beside him for descriptions. He can't see him at his mirror glass.

"Um, leader, the thing is... the guy chasing us is alone. But he's creeping us out!"

"He's alone, yet your terrified?! What kind of bikers are you!?"

"No, we're terrified at the fact that he's chasing us without a bike!"

It actually took time for him to process the following information.

"Who the hell would believe that shit!?"

"But It's true! You can't see him at your side mirror so look behind you for just a second!"

The leader did as he was told and turned his head back. What his eyes saw is a young man with a coal black hair, and to be frank, handsome. If you ignore the fact that he's now chasing the group of bikers with his bare feet, he's actually a perfect guy.

"Holy Mother Of San Pedro! Who the fuck is that?! Is that even possible?!"

The leader's strange expression was clear for everyone to see even though he has a helmet. Well, they don't have any time to stare at it. After some staring, the leader turned his back towards Kazuya and held the maneuver of the bike tighter.

"Listen, guys! This man who is chasing us now, is beyond human! We're all riding bikes here, yet he can chase us like that! Even Usain Bolt and a cheetah can't do that! It only means one thing, this guy is one of "that"!"

"Yes, sir!"

They already got the meaning of the word "that." Is Kazuya's identity known to them?

"Let's put our speed higher than 60kmph! He will surely be tired and give up!"

Meanwhile, Kazuya is still running full speed with his bare feet. He chased the guy because of the fact that he doesn't have any clue to who it is. He doesn't have any clue.He doesn't know his face, name, number. He just knew that he's from the Deadly Sins.

But he doesn't know their hideout. In short, if he misses him now, there's a very huge chance that they will never meet again. So he has to chase them, now or never!

"Damn, I'm about to get worn out."

After running full speed for almost 10 minutes, he's starting lose speed.

"Great! He's losing his speed! Keep it up!"

The biker gang continued to drive their motorbikes and Kazuya continued to run while losing his speed.

Slowly, Kazuya is losing speed. After 5 minutes, he finally stopped running. With that, the biker gang had escaped Kazuya's chasing game.

"Damn... it! I... can't catch... up to... them."

While catching his breath, Kazuya just stood there, looking at the sky.

+++++

"Damn! Motorcycles sure are fast, I can catch up at first but when they raised their speed, I can't catch up."

Releasing a heavy sigh, Kazuya just walked towards his house. He's walking very slowly than usual, since his legs are sore.

"I'm home!"

He's walking slowly but he still reaches his own house. He shouted those words to signal his Master that he's already home.

"Oh, Kazuya, you're already here? Someone's searching for you here."

"Huh? Someone came here? Maybe It's Yuu again, he's always hanging around here."

Regardless, he still came straight to the living room to see his visitor. When he arrived at the living room, he saw a girl with a fluttering platinum hair. Her smooth and porcelain skin made her even more attractive.

Her sparkly yellow eyes added more spice to her beauty. She's a very beautiful girl, and someone the Japanese can call a "bishoujo"(means beautiful young girl).

Still not changing to his uniform, he took a seat in front of the girl. His master was sitting beside him.

"Kazuya-dono, correct?"

"-dono?"

"I'm sorry, It's just my weird accent. My family has this kind of accent for a very long time. If you are bothered by it, I will stop it right now, degozaru."

"No, I'm not bothered."

(Since readers are not actually Japanese, allow me to explain what the heck is going on. -dono is one of the honorifics used by the Japanese to express one's respect. There are many kinds of honorifics, but we'll focus at -dono. -dono are only used in Edo Era to pay respect to their lords or someone higher than them. In the modern days, they never use it, or If they're using it, It's just a form of accent. Degozaru doesn't have any meaning, It's just an accent too.)

Kazuya is not bothered at all. It actually reminded him of his world. But while Kazuya was remembering his world, his Master asked something strange.

"Wait, I know someone who has an accent like that. Now that you think about it, you actually looked like her. Excuse me, but are you..."

"Yes, Kanzai-dono. I am Chizuru Karuizawa."

The girl called Chizuru, bowed down and said to Kazuya's master:

"Thank you for saving me 4 years ago, degozaru!"

+++++

"Wait, are you really Chizuru? The girl who always come to the park and always depressed?! That Chizuru!?"

"Yes, Kanzai-dono. I thank you for the bottom of my heart for saving me and extracting that Soul Seal, degozaru."

From Kazuya's understanding, it seems this girl was the girl his Master saved when he first arrived in this world 4 years ago. Theoretically, it seems she's 15 years old now. It seems the child he met was 11 years old.

"Chizuru, you've really got bigger! You've got bigger in certain places too!"

"Like what, degozaru?"

"Your chest, for example!"

After his Master spouted those words, he received a punch from Chizuru.

"Sorry, My hands was slippery so I accidentally punched him, degozaru."

Despite all that happened, Kazuya was only thinking of one thing. He didn't even cared about his Master getting punched. Because he already knew first hand that he's a pervert.

Master rose from his position and took his seat again. While still scratching his cheek. The Master apologized to Chizuru and things was settled down.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

When things had calmed down, Kazuya asked a very strange question to them.

"About what?"

His Master replied to his strange question. All this time, no one actually noticed this, except Kazuya.

"About the fact that she knows the Soul Seals."

+++++

"Now that you think about it, Chizuru said that she thanks me for extracting the Soul Seal for her."

"Well, that's the reason I came here, degozaru. The fortune teller told me about this place, degozaru."

The fortune she's talking about is the old lady who told Kazuya and his friend's fortune. But why does she know the Soul Seals?

"Please allow me to explain from the very start. The reason I came here, and why did I knew about the Soul Seals, degozaru."

This story took place, 7 months ago. The time where Kazuya and Kakuju came to this world. Karuizawa Chizuru was on her 1st Year of her High School at that time.

Rumors says that there's a biker gang who was so weak in the past. But suddenly became strong. They defeated other gangs and became much stronger than any other gangs.

Of course, the rumored gang was The Deadly Sins. Since then, they became the strongest gang in Tokyo. But Chizuru doesn't care about that, as long as her family was safe, she'll be fine. But that thought, vanished in an instant.

At that time, her little sister, Karuizawa Rikou is being bullied by her classmates. She was still in her 3rd Grade at that time. It just proves that even children are getting corrupted. She became so depressed so...

"A Soul Seal came to her, right?"

"Your right, degozaru. Can I continue the story now?"

"Yes, you may."

Kazuya interrupted her story, but she just continued without any problems.

Her depression was getting worse, day by day. Until to the point that she can already use the Soul Seal.

"Her Soul Seal was... Wrath."

"Isn't that..."

Kazuya doesn't remember that he has any Soul Seal like that. Kakuju's Soul Seal is based from the Japanese Mythology so that's not hi either. That means, someone came from the past like them who wields Soul Seals. And that certain someone was actually... his Master.

+++++

"Damn! I totally forgotten that I have Soul Seals out there!"

Master just punched the ground out of frustration. It's been 4 years since he came here, and he didn't sensed his Soul Seals so he gave up. But now that it surfaced, it's his responsibility to retrieve it.

"My Soul Seals was based from the 7 deadly sins so It's definitely mine."

It's confirmed. The Soul Seal in Karuizawa Reiko's body was owned by Kanzai Hakuto. Kazuya just stared at his Master with eyes of frustration. If only they tried to look at his Soup Seals, a child will never get dragged at this.

"But that's still not the full story, degozaru."

"Huh?"

Chizuru just interrupted their frustration scene and said something.

"Umm, that's still not the full story. Do you mind if I continue, degozaru?"

Master and Kazuya just looked at each other for a while then gave a nod.

"Okay, thank you, degozaru. I will now continue, degozaru."

It's true that it came to the point that she can use the Soul Seal's powers but the worst has yet to come. Using her own wrath, she can make other people angry. In short, as long as she's angry, she can make anyone stronger.

For some reason, The Deadly Sins had caught wind of that, and abducted Karuizawa Reiko. Since the Soul Seal is still not coming back to Master, it means that while she was abducted, she undergone hellish training at a young age and was able to keep the Soul Seal on her body.

"My family are trying to search for my little sister ever since she was abducted, degozaru. Isn't it strange? Searching for almost 7 months and not a speck of clue had arose, degozaru!"

Chizuru said while her eyes was almost shedding tears. She wiped it off, and continued to speak.

"The police can't even help us. I got desperate and came to a fortune teller. She told me the full story as to why my little sister had been abducted, and she said that I should come here. I doubted her at first, but because I'm already desperate I tried to came here."

Chizuru groveled at the ground, bowed her head and shouted these words with all her voice.

"Please, your my last ray of hope! I beg you, save my little sister, degozaru!"

While tears are flowing out of her eyes, she begged and bowed her head towards the two of them. Chizuru knew the about the existence of the Soul Seals because the fortune teller told her. But the fact still exists that she knew them.

Kazuya touched her shoulders and made her return to her initial position. In short, she made her sit again.

"I understand, Chizuru. But promise me something."

"What is it?"

While still holding her shoulders, Kazuya stated his condition.

"When this is all over, please let me erase your memories regarding the Soul Seals and other incidents. Since you don't have any Soul Seals, Erased should to you."

After he said his condition, he looked once to his Master, and his Master returned the nod. Chizuru just clenched her fists and said:

"If you'll help me save my sister, then I couldn't object."

Kazuya stood up, letting go of her shoulders and clenched his fists. He clenched his fists so much that blood was gushing out of them.

"Even kids was getting hurt and dragged to this mess. The Deadly Sins, you'll that you've done this."

Fire of wrath and anger had occupied Kazuya's emotions. He's enduring it until now, but he let it go. Kazuya may be a murderer, but he never killed and hurt a child! Because he thinks that unlike him, kids should have a better future.

The Deadly Sins will now face Kazuya Satoru's rage.
