16 The Supplies

Rantaro and Hope went to different type of locations, locations that were similar in Rantaro's eyes but had a strange sense that he couldn't make clear.

As they collected the last supply, what Rantaro held were wacky items, items that were similar to Joey, Hope, Flora, Roy, and Martha.

Items that Rantaro seemed to enjoy and seemed to have been familiar with but like the location, he couldn't put the clues together, the items were ....

A Radio, a brand of Chrysanthemums, a comic book edition of My Vampire System, A Bamboo sword and a collection of books on the Environment.

Hope then called for a taxi which was something that even Rantaro knew should've done in the first place but Hope then made an excuse saying she forgot something.

When she literally tore up the paper, "Oh I forgot about this last item, can you get it for me? It's at the Blue Pearl" Rantaro didn't like what he had just heard.

He didn't want what had happened before, but Hope insisted on going, so Rantaro began to make his way to the Blue Pearl while Hope went home with the rest of the supplies.

As he got there, he noticed that stranger that he had that arm wrestle with was inside, and was expecting me, as he went inside, "Ah it's you again, thought I'd never see you again.

Don't worry I'm not here to molest you (laughing) .. uh .. that was a joke by the way, please don't take it seriously but I wanted to talk about Aephe ... oh whatever its called".

Rantaro was shocked by what he had heard, this guy knew about this world? Rantaro then became cautious about it and ensured he wasn't walking in a trap.

"I know what you're thinking, how do i know about this place and what even the fuck do i have to do with it, rest assured because the answer will be a little surprising.

First off you must know who I am, I am Rantaro, I know, I know, you'll be saying that your name in Rantaro but I'm Rantaro Neverborn, weird name I know but ..."

Rantaro cut him off and said, "Shut the hell up about that shit and get to the point". Neverborn looked surprised by what he had said but then he continued.

"Alright, second of all, I am man who knows the real form of this imaginary school that you went, I mean the schools real and the students missing are real but heres the cheese.

It's a test, to see if you're strong enough... to be part of Ceratus' clan, Do you have any idea how powerful collecting the ingredients was for him? He's Even Scared of The Reapers.

Scared that they would take his lifes work, he doesn't show mercy to the likes of the Reapers because they are all and he is but one, so hear me out.

You and me, Rantaro. Together we go save those kids, and then we can go after Ceratus and use our powers to grind him into paste! but with a catch, you serve as my knight"

Rantaro liked the idea but he wasn't willing to sell himself off just to kill someone and to that he said, "I am not a weapon that can be abused, FUCK YOU!!!"

After what he said, the ground cracked and opened a portal back to Aepheriarene, "looks like it's time to grind you into paste before I kill that vulnerable little bitch.

Hope you're ready Rantaro because this is where wifey puts a gravyard for her DEAD husband, Helluva".
