Parents

"What? But, what did I do wrong?"

"You are Denki Kurakiba, am I right?"

He knows my real name!

"And you are the successor of the Electro God, whether intentional or not."

"How do you know?"

He took another deep breath, this time a bit heavier than before.

"Have you forgotten me, Ryu?"

"Huh?"

I've never had any friends from the police, even if I had I would have been arrested years ago.

Slowly he opened all the locks on the big mask, and from the open lock a lot of gas came out. All the gas was so cold it made chills all over my body.

Gradually I could see his face.

"You!"

"Yes, it's me, long time no see, Ryu."

"Lucifer..."

In silence I shed a few tears, my deceased friend suddenly came back to life. What's more, the appearance is slightly different. But I could easily recognize him because only Lucifer had that weak smile. yes, only him!

"You... still alive?"

"Yes, you could say this is a miracle, when I asked you to leave that time I was dead. And the Lucifer that you see right now is just a Cyborg whose life is supported by an artificial heart and a battery, my life has long been gone, only the performance of the battery is capable of this pumps my heart. And right now you only talk to a cyborg who inherited his memory, but to be honest even though it's just a memory I feel relieved to see you're still alive."

"Lucifer..."

Shit! I cried, why my heart hurts so much after hearing this fact?

"But I'm sorry Ryu, I was revived with this full cyborg body for one purpose... Ryu, I was assigned to catch all Gods whether they are alive or dead."

"Eh?"

"I'm sorry, this is a basic program implanted in my body."

His face looks very sad.

"I want to cry right now, but... since my whole body is now just iron, I can't cry. I'm sorry."

Lucifer pointed a gun right in front of my head.

"Forgive me."

He said it with trembling hands, his voice was very messy, and his face looked very sad.

"I can't control this body when I meet God who has already activated Clock Up, so Ryu... I beg you... run."

He told me to run, but my body was still frozen. Do I have to run?

"Ryu!"

He's right, I have to run. Yuna and that girl need me!

"Okay, I'll go. Take care of yourself, my friend. I'll try to repeat all the programs in your body, and after that, we can eat pizza again like before."

"Yes. I beg you."

"Bye, Lucifer."

"See you soon Ryu."

With high speed I ran and carried Yuna and the girl earlier, we ran away from the supermarket and left them. Really, why did this inner torment happen to me?

***

"Commander, why did you let the cyborg run away?"

"He's still immature, it would be useless if we caught him in that condition. Now, you may awaken Mon the Water God,"

"I found out huh."

"He's still alive! Everyone be ready!"

"You guys take it easy, I just wanted to talk a little to this immature God."

"Huh? You're underestimating me?"

"Of course, you can only use your transformation up to level one right?"

"Tch! I got caught again."

"We, Police 3.9K, always keep an eye on the developments of the Gods. No one escapes our watch, including Electro God."

"Then why did you let him escape earlier?"

"Because he's immature, unlike me. I'm already able to use the 3rd transformation you know."

"You're so arrogant, I'll kill you right now!"

"Gosh, have you never studied? Albedo."

"Yes, master."

"Command, freeze!"

"Yes, master."

"What?! My body can't move!"

"Do you realize now? The Ice God is the Water God's natural enemy, you can't beat me."

"Damn it! You damn cops! I'll kill you all!"

"Too bad, but I... Ice God will kill you here!"

"Wait, commander!"

"What's wrong?"

"The superior just gave the mandate, he asked to release the Water God."

"Huh? Even though I tried so hard to catch the most annoying God, what if that's what the professor wants? You're free now Water God, all the troops clean up all these corpses and immediately take the little boy to the hospital!"

"Yes, commander!"

***

Running, yes that's all I can do now. Running from responsibility for letting hundreds of people die, running from the fact that my friends are still alive, how do I change this world order to normal again?

"Ryu, here's your coffee."

"Thank you, Yuna."

We are in my second home, I immediately bought a new house in the next town with the money from my mission yesterday. To be honest, the money is too much and the money I used to buy this house only reduced 10% of the total money I have.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I've fixed my short circuit as well."

"Thank God."

"What about that girl?"

"She's still asleep in her room."

"I see, thank goodness."

"What's the girl's name?"

"Her name is Agnes, she is an orphan."

That's right, according to the database I hacked earlier she is an orphan being cared for by an old cyborg. She usually called him grandfather, Agnes had been cared for since childhood by that cyborg grandfather. But according to the latest database I got, her grandfather passed away 5 years ago. Since then she has only lived by herself, and after I saw the photos and specifications of his grandfather's body, it turned out that he was the previous Electro God. What kind of coincidence is this? Maybe the heart I'm wearing right now is her grandfather's heart.

"Ryu! She's awake!"

We swiftly approached him, she looked confused and started looking around. She started to open her eyes wide when she saw us both, and suddenly she started to cry.

"Eh? What's wrong? Did we scare you?"

Yuna looks a little panicked.

"Calm down Yuna, you're only making her even more scared. Are you okay, Agnes?"

"Thank God... thank goodness... you're still alive."

She immediately jumped up and hugged us both, she kept crying and screaming. What just happened right now?

***

After she calmed down she started to look cheerful again, she started to want to leave the room.

"Here comes Agnes, the omelet you asked for."

"Wow!!! Looks so delicious! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

She ate very well, and for some reason seeing her like this made us feel very relieved.

"Hey Agnes, can you introduce yourself?"

She immediately finished all her food and drink water very quickly.

"Hey calm down."

"Sorry but this is so delicious!"

" Don't praise me all the time, I'm getting shy."

This is the first time I've seen Yuna shy like this.

"So Agnes, can you introduce yourself?"

"Yes! My name is Agnes, I am 15 years old. My grandfather's name is Kira Necro, grandfather did not give me his surname because he said I would find new parents."

"New parents?"

"Yes! And they are you two!"

"Huh?!"

Spontaneously, Yuna and I were surprised by his words.

"Wait a minute, can you explain?"

"Of course, grandfather left a letter before he died. And he asked me to give this letter to a pair of cyborgs and humans named Ryu and Yuna, and that's you."

She handed me an old letter, and what amazed me was that her grandfather had written the letter on paper. It's my first time seeing it.

***

For the youth named Ryu Darkness and his partner Yuna Brightness.

First of all, I thanked you for taking care of my granddaughter, because if you see this letter then she should have been safe from the Water God's wrath. My name is Kira Necro, I am a 4th generation Electro God. And I want to tell you that the heart you are currently using is mine, you must be asking why I can know everything that will happen in the future, am I right? All of this is because one of Electro God's abilities is Future Seeker, all Electro Gods can see the future but are only limited to the next 10 years. But I can only see 5 years into the future, and the last vision I saw was that my granddaughter Agnes was safely at your house at that time, she was eating a plate of omelets made by Yuna Brightness, and you two are reading my letter.

I want you to stop the war between Gods, if a war between Gods happens again I can't imagine what it will be like. But in my time, the effect of that war was the destruction of half the continent. You must know that the American continent is now only left in the northern part, yes, that's all our actions. There's only one way to stop this disaster, you must take all the other God's power. That way there won't be a disaster, I've seen it in the future but it's very faint because my cyborg's eyes are not functioning properly. And I want you to make Agnes my granddaughter your daughter, she is the only family member I have, moreover she is also a cyborg. His right hand is a cyborg hand that has an AP shield that can block all God's attacks, that way she will stay safe. I saw a future where Agnes would assist you in gathering the power of the Gods, but of course, that was only a faint vision.

Forgive me for asking too much, but you are the only one who can save this world.

Thanks.

Kira Necro

***

This letter is very heavy. Is it true that I can also see the future?

"Ryu... how is this?"

"What?"

"About Agnes, are we going to adopt her?"

To be honest, I was very hesitant to adopt her, moreover, Yuna and I are not husband and wife.

"Are you guys done?"

"Eh! Yes, we're done."

"What did my grandfather say in the letter?"

"Eh? You haven't read it?"

"Grandpa forbade me to read it, so I don't know what's in it. But grandpa told me that it asked you to be my parents."

"Yes... how shall I... so it's like Agnes, your grandpa asked..."

"That's right, he asked us to be your parents."

Yuna immediately cut me off.

"Wait a minute... Yuna..."

Yuna suddenly covered my mouth, and she quickly whispered to me.

"Just follow me."

I have no other choice but to comply.

"Yes! I have new parents"

This girl looked very happy, she jumped on the sofa and ran to hug Yuna.

"Thank you, mama!"

"Mama?!"

"Eh? I can't call you mama?"

Agnes pleaded with a very sweet face.

"Ah! I don't care anymore! You are so cute Agnes! I am your mama now!"

"Yes, mommy!"

"Thank goodness all of this ended well, hehehe."

They stared intently at me.

"Uh, what's wrong guys?"

"Ryu..."

Yuna looked at me sharply, ah I think I understand what she means.

"All right, all right. From now on I am your father, Agnes."

"Yes, Daddy!"
