36 Reina II

The moment Kitsuchi saw Eren's red eyes, he used 200% of his strength to move his body, but his fear prevented him.

In Kitsuchi's eyes, Eren disappeared in the next moment and appeared next to Soran, who was one step in front of him.

Kitsuchi felt his fear deepen when he saw Eren's facial expression that resembled a tiger that smelled blood.

Eren grabbed the face of the ninja named Soran, and then the ninja named Soran swelled up and turned into a disgusting monster.

When Kitsuchi saw Soran's ear-splitting screams and disgusting appearance, he took a few steps back and tripped over something, losing his balance.

Before Kitsuchi fell to the ground, he saw Eren disappear from where he was and appear right in front of him. Kitsuchi had now accepted death as Eren's fist was getting closer to his face every second.

Kitsuchi saw that Eren's fist was surrounded by red lightning just before it hit his face. The moment the fist touched his face, it was as if time had stopped in Kitsuchi's eyes.

The next moment, Kitsuchi found himself in an area filled with large rocks. While the red lightning falling from the sky was tearing everything around him into pieces, he was trying to escape from the red lightning with a confused expression.

Just when Kitsuchi thought he had managed to dodge all the lightning, a final red lightning fell from the sky and hit his body. Contrary to Kitsuchi's expectations, he didn't feel any pain, in fact he didn't feel anything at all.

Kitsuchi gradually lost his feelings, his memories, and then the meaning of his existence. All that remained of Kitsuchi was the immense fear he felt

-------

Eren completely lost his will after punching Kitsuchi with all his anger.

When Eren raised his head and let out a frightening scream into the air, Reina, a few meters away from him, felt the change in Eren and shouted at Eren to wake up, but none of her screams reached Eren.

---------- Eren's inner world

Eren was sitting in a dark area with his head buried between his legs and covering his ears with his hands.

Sometimes strange figures emerged from the darkness around Eren and criticized him.

"Hahaha, look at the girl's face, isn't it obvious that she hates you?"

"Everyone in the Hyuga clan will hate you"

"All you had to do was protect that girl, how could you not even manage to do that? The villagers will hate you when they hear this."

"Your father will be a disgrace to the whole village because of you. Even your father will hate you."

While Eren was trembling and trying to drown out the sounds around him, a familiar figure appeared out of the darkness and took Eren into his arms.

The moment Eren felt the warmth in this figure's arms, the darkness around him disappeared and he found himself in the middle of the mushroom forest again.

When I lowered my head, I saw Reina hugging me tightly and I couldn't resist and wrapped my arms around Reina's shoulders.

We both hugged each other in silence for a while, giving our chaotic emotions time to calm down.

"Eren-san, why does there have to be war in the world? Why is no one satisfied with what they have? Why do rich people who cannot be satisfied with what they have drag others into war? I don't want to fight anymore, Eren-san, I'm sorry because I disappointed you."

I was in awe as I listened to Reina's words as she rubbed her head on my chest, because it was the first time I heard Reina talk about her own thoughts.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I'll try to heal your eyes if you let me."

Reina immediately took a few steps away from me and rejected my offer.

"Why don't you want me to heal your eyes?"

"I don't want to see any more wars, I don't want to see any more deaths, I don't want to see any more people suffering"

I felt the cold of the night in my bones as I looked at the Reina in front of me, illuminated by the moonlight even though she was covered in blood and dust.

"But, what about the good things? You don't want to see them on the roof."

"what good things. I haven't seen them for a long time. Even when I look at my brothers, I see them always talking about the war."

"What about the moonlight, it looks pretty good right now, don't you want to see it?"

The moment I mentioned the moonlight, Reina seemed to realize the seriousness of things and silently bowed her head and did not answer.

I took advantage of Reina's silence, approached her and hugged her. When my hands touched Reina's back, I started to transfer my cursed energy to Reina's body.

After a while, sweat was running down my neck, not because I was tired, but because there was no sign of renewal in Reina's eyes.

After a while, Reina must have realized the situation as her shoulders began to shake.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why it didn't heal, I was sure that this technique allowed the limbs to regenerate."

Reina's voice was louder than usual this time when she answered me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why do you keep apologizing? If you couldn't heal me, why did you say these things to me?"

My remorse had now reached such a level that I felt a terrible pain in my throat that prevented me from swallowing.

" I am sorry "

This time I realized my voice was hoarse as I apologized.

"I don't want you to apologize, I want you to promise me"

"What promise?"

"I want you to stop fighting"

" This is impossible "

"Now you're starting to think why it's impossible. I just don't want my only friend to die in the war."

I felt a little confused when I heard the word friend.

"Only friend. Me. But it's only been 2 days since we met."

"I hate you, you really forgot about me, I thought you were joking"

When I heard the words "I hate you", my heartbeat slowed down for a short moment and my pupils turned red, but I quickly came to my senses with the feeling of warmth coming from between my arms.

"Did you forget that you told me that war was an activity of the ignorant?"

When I heard Reina's words, I finally understood why she felt so familiar.
