"Attention!! Attention!! Tendency Of The World is here. Please buy your tickets now to see your favorite bands live in Guangzhou. Don't miss your chance..,"
"Eh? What is that Takeru?" I said.
"Oh, it is nothing. It's just an announcement for the band live at Guangzhou,"
"You mean TOTW?" said Asahi.
"What is that?"
"Tendency of The World, a metal band," I said. He seems to be not interested. "What's wrong? Weren't you a fan of metal? You are a Maou, right?"
"Nevertheless, I'm not a fan of Metal either. Instead, I'm a jazz fan," he said. We stare at Takeru for a minute. He's right, his appearance did not seem like a Gothic, Takeru is a chill type, wears a casual dress, as usual, we met before, doesn't show any sign of mercilessness and arrogance, cares about young's lives, and is always being a reliable person. That day I saw him while walking around the town, playing with other children, storytelling, and finding their parents if they got lost. He doesn't seem like a Demon Lord at all. More like, an Angel. "Maybe we should go there," suddenly Takeru said.
"Eh? What do you mean by that?" I said.
"Diablo loves to hear some distortion melody, and metal is one of their favorite. Maybe, the Legions will gather around for a ritual," he said. It makes sense because Metal has some demonic elements and sometimes conspiracy.
"So, you mean we go there? Like, for real?" said Lisa Fujiwara.
"Ah, yes," said Takeru.
"Wait, is it too dangerous to go there? Like, tonight a lot of them gather, including innocent civilians too. We can't just kill them on spot," said Asahi.
"Exactly, that's why I called someone on phone," said Takeru. Who is it then?
"Knock...knock"
"I think she's here," She?
"Open the door, you dumbass!" she said.
"Shut up, b*tch. I'm coming," he said. Then, he opens the door, The moment he opens it slowly, the aura outside is too strong and intimidating. I see the shadow stretches through the space.
"What's wrong?" she saw us tremble. Lisa Kaneki and Touka almost peed themselves.
"Guys, meet my sister. Aiko Itoh," She is so identical to Megumin and Aiko. Her personality is more with Megumin while her look is much similar her grandmother, Aiko.
"Do okaasan knows I'm here?" she said.
"Heh, how should I know,"
"Does anyone got some drinks? I'm thirsty," she said. Lisa Kaneki immediately takes a drink inside the refrigerator and gives it to her. She drank a whole bottle in a short moment.
"Could you help?" I said.
"Excuse me?" I shut my mouth. I have no other words to continue to. She is too beautiful. Takeru whispers to his sister for help. "Heh," she answered. I began amused with her attitude. Like children like parents.
"Sure, I can do that. But there is one thing I want you to do," she said.
"What is it?" Takeru said. And so, she discusses for us. Her plans seem to be heavy for us to carry, but we have no choice yet to do it.
--------------------------------π-------------------------------
"WRYYYY!!!" Megumin screams out of the blue.
"What's wrong?! Are you okay?" said Chue. She's sweating, making her clothes drenched with her sweat. Her eyes bulging and she breathes heavily.
"I saw... I saw... your brother," she said. Akemi immediately wakes up.
"Huh? What did you say?" Akemi said.
"Your husband, he'll return home," she said. Akemi's reaction is half happy, half disagree. She bends down her body, staring on the ground, for hours.
Suddenly, her child sobs. Akemi goes for her child to ease down. After her baby stops crying, it's Akemi's turn.
"Should we tell them the truth?" said Tomioka.
"I don't know," she said. Both of them are in dilemma.
--------------------------------π-------------------------------
In front of them, an old hut, Takeru and his sister, Aiko, bring Akemi's brother and Asahi to them. "Are you ready?" said Takeru. Asahi and Akihiko nods. So, they knock on the door, and it's opened by Akira.
"It's your son and his girlfriend? With someone else?" said Akira. Megumin runs to the door entrance and her face smiles.
"Who is that?" said Megumin.
"Mom, meet Aiko. Aiko, meet mom, Megumin," said Takeru. They greet properly.
"Is this your Girlfriend?" said Megumin. Aiko gets upset while Takeru is amused by himself.
"Mom, it's me, your daughter?" After hearing that, Megumin faints.
Fortunately, Tomioka got her safely. He stares at Aiko for so long. "Pops, she's my sister," said Takeru. Tomioka looks again and realized that her appearance is more with Megumin's side, except her look. He smiles.
"Good to hear," said Tomioka. He carries Megumin and goes in. "What are you guys waiting for? come in," he said.
Soon, Akemi appears at Tomioka's back. Her wind changes when she saw her brother return safely. She rushes towards Asahi and her nephew a hug and kissed their face and forehead. "I'm extremely glad you guys are okay," her tears dropped.
"Thanks to Akihiko, we could've escaped easily," said Asahi. She hugs both of them so hard until Akihiko asks her to stop. She glances at Takeru and saw someone next to him. A man wears a white hood whispering to Takeru.
"Hey, who are you?" Then, the man walks away, ignoring Akemi's question. "Wait up,"
The pace turns wild, Akemi chase down the man so fast like almost flying. Later, the man climbs up the building, helped by the girls, while Akemi standing below the surface. She stares at the man's eyes as they met before. And so the girls too. The man and the girls continue to move. Akemi begins to follow them.
When she arrived, she saw the man and the girls face to face with a giant Legion with spiking armor and its Warhammer. She wanted to help but was aware of her safety and her beloved ones. Yet, she has no choice but to help them because something connects between them and Akemi.
