A robot person bumped into Albert shoulder
"Hey watch it! we busy around here"
The robot guy walk fast as if he in a rush..
Both of the girls that help Albert followed him and keep insisting him to stop walking
"Urm..mister you can't be out here its the military training base"
*What happened...the base used to be just basic tanks,jet and rifles as weapon...since when the army got upgraded this much?*..
"What year is it?"
both of the girls look at eachother hearing Albert question and tell him that its year
"2087"
Albert mind is in deep thoughts as he trying to figure out this predicament..as if he himself has time travelled to the future..
*30 years?...what the hell happen to me..*
Albert lift his sword..
*Did you protected me? or give me another chance?*
"Who is in charge here?"
Albert ask the girls the question..and the red hair girl pouts and drag Albert by his hand
"Save that for later!..Right now you need rest"
a young girl voice flashing back in Albert mind..
*Papa!..Stop working too much u need rest!*..
Albert smile a little and follow the girl without resisting
"Oh yeah mister what is your name?"
"Albert"
The girl smile
"My name is Liadel but please call me Lia"
The brown hair girl also introduce herself
"Mine's Yui"
she shyly or maybe scared hiding behind Lia...
"You have nothing to be scared of young one.. I'm just a old man"..
Yui smile a bit and is less scared now..
*Hm..If its been 30 years..what happened to the demon king?..and ..I hope no one know me..it would raise some question how a 47 year old in the 2057 still alive and kicking in this year...Only the Elite division ever keep track of me..meh they all probably dead already..I'm just gonna do what I'm originally gonna do and that is kill that damn devil..even tho..i failed once.."
As the girls lead Albert back to the bed they take their leave
"I see you again Albert me and Yui gotta go now"
"Thank you Lia and Yui I will remember what u done for me"
Both of the girl leave the facility room..
*I can't stay here..*

suddenly someone knock at Albert door and come in..
A tall,black hair lady wearing military outfit with military hat approach Albert..

The woman open the door for Albert..
Albert go in to see a office full with medals and military equipment..even some that he don't know of..
"So its true..."
in front of Albert.. a big man smoking a cigar uttered words that Albert least expect
"Albert L. Weiss.."
Albert in shock..as someone say his name..even though its impossible even in the old age he move in discreet and only handful of people know his real full name..
Albert grip his sword..
"Calm down old fossil.."

Albert hesitant at first..but he take a seat and open the file..
he only see a picture of him shaking hand with another guy
*Ryuzen..my old partner..*
"how did you get this picture?..your life depend on your answer"..
the room filled with Spiritual Pressure oozing out from Albert as his eyes gaze into the commander..
The commander sigh
"you really forgot me uncle?"
All the pressure drop as he heard the word uncle...
a sudden memory came rushing in Albert
"Uncle can you make my dad stop going to the levels..Im scared of losing him.."
"Hahahaha!..trust me Toji your dad will be safe as long he with me...but yes I agree with you..this is the last mission im taking with him together..after that he gonna retire"

"T-Toji?"
The big guy smile and tear fell down on his cheek
"Yes Uncle Albert"
they both hug eachother and talk to eachother.... as the time passes by..
"Uncle..how are you alive.."
Albert mind went into deep thoughts hearing that question...
Albert put his golden sword on the desk..
"Lux saved me"
"Lux as in your sword?"
Albert nods
"Uncle..thats ridiculous..but yet..seeing you in front of me is..ridiculous..what the hell really happened..."
Albert shrug and take of the cigarette and lights it up..
"What happen to your old man"..
Toji look down and then look at Albert..

"I'm Sorry to hear that"
Toji smiles
"Dont be he die just like any normal old person would..after you went missing dad when searching for u..but he fail at floor 311..

Albert gaze fixated on the picture of him with Ryuzen..
Albert look at Toji with more serious gaze...

"well..we have no info on him"
Albert slam his hand on the table
"What do you mean! you guys already cleared floor 333 right!? thats the final level where he reside what do you mean you have no info"

"This is the only info we have on that devil"
Albert sigh and glare at the horn..
"This is useless...I'm the one cutted that horn.."
Toji eyes widened..
