Return

The morning looks bright. The birds chirped happily. The streets still seemed full of Infected staggering around. They are still level 1, that's why their movements are still slow.

Infected level 1 is not very strong. But if they are already in a group when chasing humans. Even if the human was armed with a gun, it would still be difficult.

Somewhere far enough from the road. It is located close to a narrow alley between the walls dividing the houses.

Craaat!

Black blood spurted out, Infected bodies were lying on the streets. Riwan, Sakura and Misha practice eliminating level 1 Infected as training material.

"Good!" Riwan praised Sakura's movements. Even though his movements when using the katana were still chaotic. Has no basic sword arts.

Sakura and Misha learn to get used to their physical strength exceeding normal human limits. Deliberately doing this so that they are more controlled and don't make mistakes when doing small things.

Craaat! Slash! Slash!

"Yeah! You keep going, Misha!" praised Riwan.

This time it was Misha's turn, his asthma recovered completely. Due to the effect of viral mutations in his body. Misha's movements are also very fast, and exceed Riwan's current speed.

Riwan's cold sweat wet his back. Riwan shivered with fear seeing the girls he trained last night who were so cruel and violent. "Misha and Sakura, they have become crueler. What are the effects of the mutation?"

While watching the Infected bodies fall one by one. Riwan leaned against the wall and handed over the business of killing the Infected to Misha and Sakura.

'Haaah~ looks like I have to be in this world for the next 5 days. Now there are 4 days left. Even though I'm curious about the value of the evaluation results and prize calculations."

Riwan's eyes became sad, without realizing it, the two girls saw Riwan's gaze. They were silent seeing Riwan become sad.

All level 1 Infected had been cut by the two of them. So they can relax for a moment, but when they intend to approach Riwan.

They saw that Riwan was deep in thought.

'Moreover, I'm curious about the situation of my family at home. Honestly, even though I have escaped the law of life and death. In fact, I feel like I don't care if other people die or not, for some reason I miss them a little.'

'Even if a Beyonder stays in another world longer they will get more bonuses. If Beyonder completes the task quickly, he can also get more bonuses. Still I miss them.'

Ding!

[The system detects desire serial number 288,000 has completed two of the three main missions.]

[Serial number 288,000 chooses to return to the Infinity Room. Has no intention of continuing the remaining 4 days in this world.]

[If you return to the Infinity Room, the System will carry out an evaluation and calculation of the prizes obtained.]

[If you choose to stay in this world. You have 4 days left.]

'Eh? It turns out you can skip it!" Riwan was surprised who accidentally said it out loud.

This surprised Misha and Sakura, who had been watching Riwan.

This time Riwan really wanted to come back early. Leaving the remaining 4 days, even though you actually know there will be bigger bonuses later.

However, there are Infinity Room regulations that do not allow other people to know about the existence of the Infinity Room.

If Beyonder leaks this information to others. Beyonder will be removed from Infinity Room as a form of punishment.

"Ira/Riwan! What's wrong?" Misha and Sakura, who were previously surprised, looked worried.

Riwan immediately shook his head. He intended to make the two girls calmer and not keep asking questions about things that were taboo for him.

"It's nothing! Ahaha." Riwan said that very awkwardly. They became more suspicious, Riwan was hiding something.

Looking for an excuse, Riwan rushed towards the street full of Infected. "There are Infected over there! Let's beat them up as training material!" said Riwan who became excited.

Vigorously, slashing the level one Infected without activating the Life and death perception abilities. This made Misha curious, especially Sakura who felt even more worried.

"Haaah~ Saku-chan, it seems like the guy you like is really mysterious!" Misha complained seeing Riwan's behavior.

Sakura turned to look at Misha with a face that had become as red as a ripe tomato. "Who likes it!" Sakura still stood her ground, not admitting her feelings.

"Are you sure? If you still don't admit it now? You know? Maybe that guy will leave." Misha intended to tease Sakura whose face was as red as a ripe tomato.

....

The day did not seem to them to pass very quickly. Night had arrived and it was getting late, in the dark room Riwan sat on the bed waiting for Misha and Sakura to fall asleep.

After remaining silent, Riwan stood up from the bed. Then walk towards the exit of the room. As soon as he opened the door, Riwan was a little surprised to see Misha waiting.

"Eh! Misha, what's wrong?" Riwan asked in surprise because he saw that Misha wasn't asleep yet.

Even though Misha was already wearing black pajamas.

Misha crossed his arms while looking at Riwan calmly. Riwan was very curious about Misha's attitude. "Aren't you asleep Misha? It's already late."

"When you're asleep, are you trying to attack both of us?" She very casually asked again.

Riwan closed his eyes then he stretched out his arms. With a warm smile, a little chuckle. "Impossible."

"You guys are very strong," Then he whispered softly. "Even stronger than me."

After Riwan said that, Misha fell silent. After a few moments of silence, Misha asked again, "Is it possible that you are leaving?"

Riwan nodded his head at Misha's question.

Misha took a deep breath. "Haaah~ I thought so. When are you leaving?"

"Now."

"Now?" Misha didn't expect Riwan to leave straight away and intended to do it quietly without telling him. "Aren't you going to wait for Saku-chan to wake up? Or tomorrow morning?"

"Sorry." Riwan answered.

"Haaah~ you are such a bastard! You know that?" Misha said sarcastically at Riwan. The reason is that Riwan just left without letting Sakura express her feelings.

"Sorry." The same answer still comes from Riwan's mouth.

Surprising Misha, Riwan apparently understands Sakura's feelings for him.

However, he prefers to remain silent and not say anything.

"At least, give him beautiful parting words." After that, Misha walked away leaving Riwan.

Riwan entered his room. After a moment silence fell in the room. Riwan was looking for pen and paper in the bedroom cupboard drawer.

After finding it in one of the drawers of his bedroom lamp, he immediately wrote a letter to Sakura.

Don't forget to put the katana on the bed that was shown to Sakura. Riwan considered the object as a parting gift for himself. You could say it's a keepsake.

"Okay, looks like this is enough!" Riwan muttered, putting the letter under the katana on the bed.

"System, I want to go back."

Ding!

[Congratulations, serial number 288,000 has successfully completed two main missions and one failed main mission.]

[Detected serial number 280,000's desire to return.]

[Starting transfer procedures!]

At that moment, Riwan's body turned into grains of white sand which were blown away by the wind and then disappeared into the silence of the room.

...

"Ira!" Sakura's voice echoed in the large villa.

After arriving at Riwan's room which was wide open. Sakura suddenly sat on the floor. Because he saw that Riwan had left.

Tears flowed down her beautiful cheeks. Slowly get up from the floor and walk to Riwan's bed.

With sadness and a sobbing sound he lay down on the bed. While hugging Riwan's katana and curling up crying.

From outside the room the sound of footsteps was heard. "Didn't I tell you? You're very stubborn Saku-chan." With a sad look he approached his friend.

Then rubbed Sakura's head with his right hand. Feeling sorry for Sakura who was crying because Riwan just left her.

"Is... He coming back?" asked Sakura who was sobbing while curled up.

"I don't know." Misha shook his head in ignorance. "He's a very mysterious man." After saying that he stopped the gentle rubbing.
