Chapter 35 - Chapter 35: Curiosity Kills

Isaac: *Think* Damn, we haven't met anyone so far.

Kou: Isaac, you should see this

Isaac: What's going on?

*The three arrive at a house where they see several skeletons*

Isaac: It can't be true...

Rei: These have been here for a long time, they don't seem recent

Isaac: Yes... In addition, all the bones have small cuts, it seems that someone was in charge of removing everything

Rei: You mean someone ate it?

Isaac: Yes, that's right

*Rei and Kou gag*

Kou: How disgusting...

Isaac: Considering the current situation, I wouldn't be surprised

Rei: Why didn't they send us sooner?

Isaac: Namely...

*Isaac feels a presence*

Isaac: Keep exploring the city, if you find anything let me know

Kou and Rei: Yes

*Kou and Rei leave the place*

Kou: At what point did we put him in charge?

Rei: No idea, but he's not doing badly

Isaac: Hey, can you know what you're doing here?

Unknown 29: Wow, your senses have improved tremendously since we last saw each other, Isaac

Isaac: Come on, answer, what are you doing here?

Stranger 29: How bitter you are. Aren't you happy to see your partner after so much?

Isaac: If you're here it's a bad sign

Unknown 29: *Smile* You don't miss any

Isaac: Speak at once, otherwise I'll have to cut your throat

Unknown 29: Yes, yes. The plan has already reached its final stages, the boss wants you to capture it

Isaac: Really? I thought it would take longer

Unknown 29: It seems that the boss wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible

Isaac: Good thing, I was getting tired of hiding my power from those weaklings

Stranger 29: Won't you regret doing it? It seems that in these months you have grown fond of them

Isaac: I don't care about them. You know very well what my priority is

Unknown 29: Oh, I see

Isaac: I have my mission clear and I want to finish it as soon as possible. I have done everything they asked; I allowed them to enter both Grek and Nork

Stranger 29: We know, so you will be rewarded as you should. Although I was surprised that you did your job so well to be so useless

*Isaac points his spear at the stranger's neck*

Isaac: Keep talking and I'll cut out that filthy tongue

Stranger 29: Now I think you have a more important matter

*Kou is shown behind Isaac*

Kou: Isaac? Who is he? Capture whom?

*Isaac is shocked by the situation*

*The stranger quickly appears behind Kou and knocks him to the ground*

Isaac: Didn't I tell them to check the city?

Kou: Let go of me!

Isaac: Didn't I tell you very clearly?! What the hell are you doing here?!

Kou: I told you to let me go!

Stranger 29: You've got to do something with this guy before I kill him myself

Kou: Kill me? What is this guy Isaac talking about? Please help me. You're one of the good ones, aren't you? We just need to talk about it, maybe this is a misunderstanding

Stranger 29: Make a Decision, This Guy's Getting Fed Me Up

Isaac: The good kind? Who knows... I only do things for my own good. That's why I must finish you off

*Kou is shocked by Isaac's words*

Unknown 29: Oh, what a surprise...

Isaac: Give me your sword

*The stranger gives his sword to Isaac*

Isaac: Don't take it as personal Kou. I didn't want this to happen. If this happened it was your fault, got it?

Kou: Stop! Please leave me! I promise I won't say anything, got it?

*Isaac is getting closer little by little*

Isaac: I'm sorry

*Isaac pierces Kou's heart with the sword*

Kou: Why... what?

*Kou loses the brightness in his eyes and dies*

*Isaac returns the sword to the stranger*

Unknown 29: You've Done It Right

*Isaac attacks the stranger with his spear and he blocks the attack with his sword*

Stranger 29: What the hell do you think you're doing?

Isaac: *With a very annoyed face* Damn, you shouldn't have touched my friend

Unknown 29: What?

*Isaac and the stranger begin to exchange attacks generating large explosions*

*Rei arrives at the scene of combat*

*Rei sees Kou's lifeless body on the ground*

Rei: Kou!

*Rei approaches Kou's body*

Rei: *Think* He's dead...

*Rei manages to see the blood on the stranger's sword*

Rei: I'll kill him

*The stranger manages to see Rei in the distance*

Unknown 29: *Think* It's time

*The stranger kicks Isaac who sends him flying*

Unknown 29: *Thinks as you watch Rei* So that's it, now I get it, you're a very cunning idiot

*The stranger disappears*

Rei: Isaac, are you okay?

Isaac: Yes... I'm sorry, I couldn't protect Kou. I...

Rei: Kou...

*Both begin to cry inconsolably at Kou's body*

Rei: Please take Kou's body to Asgard, I'll follow that son of a bitch to death

Isaac: *With tears on my face* I'll go

Rei: No, it's very dangerous. Besides, this is my battle. You didn't have a friendship with Kou, but he's my best friend. I will avenge his death

Isaac: For that very reason I will go. If your best friend dies to avenge him, I'm sure you won't forgive me, so please leave this to me. I promise you that I will take that wretch's head into your hands

Rei:- Isaac... Thanks, you're a better guy than I thought

*Rei wraps Kou in a cloak and rests him on her back*

Rei: I'll leave the rest to you, good luck and thank you Isaac

Isaac: I promise I will avenge him

*Rei leaves at high speed with Kou's body*

*Applause is heard*

Unknown 29: *While clapping* I have to admit that your performance has been outstanding. Haven't you thought about being an actor?

Isaac: Stop talking stupid things, I really wanted to kill you

Unknown 29: You're really crazy

Isaac: Shut up. I guess you already know where our goal is, right?

Unknown 29: Yes, that's right. Not that far from here

Isaac: Better, I don't feel like walking much... I also look forward to seeing him again

Isaac: *Think* Wait for me, demon
