Chapter 24 - Papa

General Daichi stood there as he felt the cold blade on his neck, even though the soldiers had their enhanced weapons pointed at the trio,he knew if he was not careful,he would still die.He looked at the boy who looked no less than 18 years old, he understood that the world was no longer the same.

He had still hoped his status as a general would still have an effect, but he had thought wrong. He looked towards Dr. Teppei and noticed how the man was silently just staring at Zen, he saw the slight curve on his lips.

'this guy is planning something' that was what General Daichi thought.

A/N: decided to change Major to General.

"Let's forget about it Daichi, let's just forget about it" Dr. Teppei said which stunned the general.

Zen frowned as he looked at Dr. Teppei who was looking at him like he was a prey, he knew despite him saying they should forget about it, he still harbored some intentions.

"You guys should stay at alert, this guy is sly" Zen transferred his words to the others. Raven was stunned but it did not show in her expression.

Dr. Teppei raised both of his hands above his head while he stepped back, a smile had graced his face as he stared directly at Zen. "I'll be going now, kid... I'll still be back"

Genera Daichi stood there with Nyct's sword on his neck, his expression was serene but he was inwardly cursing, a small mishap and he knew Zen would end up causing them casualties and there was a probability of himself dying.

As soon as Dr. Teppei dropped his hands when he got to beside the armoured vehicles and his eyes glinted before mouthing a word.

Several shots were fired at Zen and the others position which caused a small mini explosion. Dr. Teppei stared at the area with a huge grin.

"Kid, you are too naive..." He watched as he smoke dispersed before his eyes widened. Standing where the shots were made, a pale skinned adolescent girl had her hands forwards as a blood red barrier had blocked the attack. The girl had white purple hair but her defining feature is her red irises and the flower pattern around her eyes.

Dr. Teppei noticed that the kid was not in the barrier.

"You are the naive one here" Zen's voice was heard as he appeared behind Dr. Teppei and grabbed his head and squashed it. The headless body crashed to the floor.

General Daichi was stunned as he turned his head around and looked at the headless body on the floor. He had seen everything that had happened.

When the shots had been fired, a red flowery barrier had been erected which blocked the bullets, that caused ripples on the barrier. He was stunned when he saw a pale skinned girl with weird irises who had appeared, what increased his surprise was how Zen's body immediately fizzled out, which meant the latter had moved before the shots were made.

Zen stood before Dr. Teppei's headless body with his katana dripping off blood to the ground. His gaze was cold as he stared indifferently at the soldiers who had their guns aimed at him.

He frowned, "I wouldn't advice you to keep your weapons aimed at me"

The soldiers did not budge as they steadied themselves, they were preparing to shoot which caused General Daichi to panic.

"Don't shoot!, don't f***** shoot, this is an ORDER!!!" General Daichi roared without minding Nyct's sword on his neck. The latter had to remove his sword as he let moved away from the general who began to wave his hands while screaming for them not to aim.

"Wise choice" Zen muttered before putting back the katana in his spatial ring and walking towards General Daichi who was looking at him warily.

"No need to fret, general, as long as you do not cross the line with me, you'll get to live" Zen said as soon as he passed the general who nodded.

"Young man, what is your name?" General Daichi asked after some hesitation, Zen paused before he turned around to look at him.

"Zen Kurokami..." Zen replied before continuing to walk on leaving the general who had fallen into deep thoughts.

As soon as Zen reached the barrier, it disappeared and he was immediately embraced by the pale skinned girl.

"Papa!!" a sweet voice came of the lips of the girl which made this expression of everyone around to change. Zen was totally stunned before he pushed the girl from his embrace softly.

"Papa... Do you not want me anymore?" The girl asked as she looked at Zen with a pitiful gaze. Zen cringed when she called him papa again, since it felt weird being called 'papa' by a girl who looked his age.

"It's not that I do not want you, I don't even know --" Zen paused as he looked at the information he got with his appraisal eye.

"You're the foetus?" Zen asks as he looked at the girl with an incredulous gaze, he tried to avoid looking below her neck, since she was buck naked.

"Papa remembers me" The girl chimed as she rushed to embrace Zen again who stopped her as he held her shoulder.

"Can you do something about yourself?" He said with a sigh.

"This is not my original form, papa... "The girl said become she popped and a 12 years old girl hung on Zen's hand, she looked like the younger version of the adolescent one.

"... This is my true form, I'll grow to be like that, the more I grow" the girl said before she jumped into Zen's embrace and hugged his body like a Koala.

" Papa~"

Zen felt his head throbbing with headache, his days would be very long.
