Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Castle of feelings

- Captain, did you notice the earthquake just now?

- Yeah about that.... don't go near the D venue of 4th platform....

-Why?

- It looks like they have found a fault there, but it might turn out to be a new dungeon. For the size I saw, it might be as deep as the mount.Astro

-You are serious, right captain?

-Its an opinion. But reporters are saying it could be deeper than that.

-I hope no one had any accidents falling there...

*Class ends*

Kakhats- Hey Reijin, I am going for a solo to the new dungeon they found, but I will need a hand.

Reijin- oka...

- You will come with me. I need someone to carry the tools and stuffs you know.

- Well, isn't the new dungeon not even explored once? That's way too dangerous.....

- Hey! Dont say no! For our old friendship's sake

- What?

- Hah, don't tell me you fo...

- No, I will never forget, it was my fault aft....

- Hey hey now, forget the past and think about the present. I am telling you to come with me.

- Yeah an....

- And you have two options, to come with me with your sword, and to come with me without your sword...

- What?? Are you joking?

- Ha ha ha! I will be there in 10 minutes. Be there.

Should I go?

*9 years ago*

A small field of sand. Kids are playing around. Among them is Reijin. Reijin has failed to make any friends, so he is playing alone. A kid approaches Reijin.

- Aa eu raiji ?

- Ha...

- Mi fatha sas to paray wit eu.

- I am Makaoo Reijin. Nice to meet you.

- I an..... *pull out the candy* Kakhats. What are you doing with this sand?

- I am making a castle. But other people are always destroying it.

- Dont worry! *brings out a wooden sword* My father made me this! I will protect your castle with this!

- Haaa!!! Thanks!!!

- Let's finish it first!

- Okay!

Kakhats and Reijin are busy building a sand castle.

- Kahhatsu ! Look, it's all finished!

- It looks sooo good, right!

Many other kids approach.

- Reijin! Dont worry, I will protect it!

- Okay!

Kid 1: Wow! Its so good!

Kid 2: It looks like a palace!

Kid 3: I want to help you kakatsu!

Kid 2: Me too!

Kid 1: Yeah, let's do it together.

Kid 4: Yes!

Kakhats: Okay, let's build it together!

They started making the castle bigger. Meanwhile, Reijin was looking at them from far away, waiting to be called.... But they never called him, not even kakhats.

*2 days later*

- Oh Makaoo! Come here, let's play!

- Hello Kaatsu, I am sorry but I will play alone.

- Why? What happened?

- N..nothing.

Kakhat's Father- Heya Hatsu my boy!

K- Father!

KH- And you must be Makato Reijin.

R- Nice to meet you, sir.

KH- How is your father?

R- He is well (I guess).

K- Father father! Look at this castle I..*looks at Reijin and remembers*...we made!

KH- Its so well made.You must have worked hard.

R- I wasn't involved in creating this. I had to go early, sorry.

K- Oh!

*Two days earlier*

Hekus- Oh Rivena sir!

KH- Oh Hekus! What are you here for?

H- I was here to look after my kid there. I have a duty to keep my boy safe, right?

KH- Yeah but, safe from whom?

H- You dont know?

*A few minutes later*

KH- So Reijin's mother died because of his monstrous magic, and thus his father gave him an overdose of the dust and so now he is so weak? And you all call him some sort of demon's avatar because of that?

H- If you say it like that.....

KH- That's rubbish. You are all ruining that child's future, he is becoming more and more unsocial.

H- But what if kids get in a fight and that kid goes out of control?

KH- Didn't you say he is really weak now?

H- A.....yeah.

KH- Kakhats!

K- Yes father?

KH- Look, there a kid is building a castle. Do you think you can help him make it better?

H- Are you sure about this? You sh...

KH- No Hekus. I am doing what I must!

K- Yeah his castle looks big! I should make him my friend and make that bigger!

KH- Go on son.

K- See you later father!

H- Okay, let's see...

KH- Yeah.
