Chapter:32 Daichi, Rin and Katsuto pt-2

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers!)

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers!)

Inside a dark space, a burly man could be seen turning all around, trying to find out where he was? And how did he get here?

"Where am I? Wasn't I in my room a second ago!?"

Juumonji Katsuto was a behemoth of a man, the heir to the Juumonji family and also the only person within the whole clan who had enough proficiency in [Space-Magic] to actually "see" the "truth".

He was in charge of arranging things for the [Foundation Day Party], as the heir to the throne of the clan, he had to prove his worth to his family and showcase his abilities by interacting with the multiple politicians and guests who will be attending the party.

Due to this arrangement, Katsuto hadn't gone to school for a couple of days and had requested Erik to deal with the clotted work.

Finally, after three days of continuous hard work and management, was he able to finish the preparation.

Just as he was about to enter the land of dreams, he suddenly found himself inside this dark space, floating within this emptiness, trying to see if someone or something was around him.

"Katsuto...."

Hearing the dreamy voice that resounded out of nowhere, Katsuto's eyes widened in shock as his body trembles due to the various emotions building inside his giant body.

"Rin! Where are you?..."

He recognized the voice as that of a female, someone he was familiar with, someone who he once called his friend, the voice itself was very calm and smooth yet Katsuto couldn't help but shiver.

"Katsuto....."

"Rin!!!....."

An attractive woman suddenly appeared behind Katsuto, she wore a blue coloured dress and had long black hair. Her blue eyes stared into Katsuto's face who apparently had emotions, as opposed to his calm face.

Katsuto's smile suddenly froze, his happy expression turned into one of horror as he stared at the blood flowing out of her stomach.

"Katsuto....."

"Why didn't you save me, Katsuto?....."

"NO! THIS ISN'T REAL!!!"

"You can't die!!! I promised 'him' that I will protect you!!...."

"No!!!....."

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

Katsuto found himself inside an old building, breathing erratically. The windows were blocked with tables, various broken equipment could be seen scattered all across the place.

The splashing of blood was splattered all over the walls and the smell of blood diffused within the air.

Torn curtains, broken chairs, destroyed sculptures, burned candles, twisted chandelier, all the furniture within the old church was totally in tatters.

"This place? No no no no.....anything but this!..."

"No! Not this memory!....NO!!!"

The behemoth of the man roared in anger and anguish as he recognized the place he was in from his memories, nasty memories.

In front of him, multiple individuals could be seen standing with their weapons pointed in a certain direction.

Every single one of these individuals, except one, wore same black combat suits with the Juumonji clan symbol printed on the back of their gear.

Just opposite to them stood a scar-faced man, wearing a white coat and golden glasses. He held an [Anti-Magic Glock] in his right hand and was holding a woman captive, apparently, that woman also had the same clothes as the Juumonji clan members.

"Hahaha.....you can't stop me, Juumonji!"

"There is nowhere to escape to! Surrender now and return the data you stole from us!...."

"Hahaha.....never! I have gone through a lot of trouble to acquire the Juumonji clan's secret spell technique, with this information sent to the different nations, your clan abilities will be worthless and soon the others alliances would dispose of this worthless country..."

"Damn it! We can't let him escape Katsuto! We must take him down!...."

"He has Rin as a captive! I can't attack him or he will kill her....!"

"Then we have no other choice!....."

"What do you mean!?...."

"Listen Katsuto, sometimes sacrifices are required for the greater good!...."

"No, I am not allowing anyone to hurt Rin! She is my cousin! I had promised Daichi that I would protect her, I am not going to break my promise.....!"

Katsuto had a resolute expression on his face as he looked towards the other individuals who had surrounded intruder.

He wasn't going to allow others to hurt his cousin, no matter the cost, he would never allow anyone to sacrifice his comrades.

"Let her go and surrender! You wouldn't be able to escape from us!..."

Katsuto once again turned towards the intruder with clear murderous intent oozing out of his tone. He wanted nothing more than to shred the white coat into multiple pieces.

For Katsuto, comradeship and reliability were the two most important factors. Those who couldn't stay true to those responsible for their lives were all just parasites and worthless individuals.

The man in question was using a unique kind of [Contact-Type Interference-Zone Device], making it impossible for Rin to activate her magic and retaliate before the one restraining her, stops her casting.

Rin weakly raised her head and looked towards her cousin brother, the giant behemoth of a man had a huge heart and valued his comrades very much. He didn't even hesitate to shoot down the idea of abandoning her even when the core technique of the Juumonji clan was on-line.

Of course, she also knew of the fact that these "secret techniques" were actually the original technique created by the founding members of the Juumonji clan, it had been many years since the establishment of Juumonji clan.

All this time, the techniques have evolved greatly and newer techniques have been created to fit the evolution of the [Space-Element Affinity] of the Juumonji clan.

In simple terms, it was nigh impossible to recreate the [Phalanx] from the original technique, but even so, the data stored within the original technique was of great sentimental value to the Juumonji Clan.

'Elder brother will not give in....I can't allow this man to continue living especially after what he did to our Juumonji clan...'

'I will not be his leverage!...'

Rin abruptly looked towards her cousin, tears appearing within her eyes as a resolute expression masked her face.

"Brother...it's okay!...."

"Everything will be fine!..."

"Rin! Just be quiet and I will get you out of there!....."

"Brother!.....I'll be alright!....."

"Tell Daichi that I loved him!....."

"Wha—"

𝔹𝕒𝕟𝕘! (Bang!)

𝕋𝕙𝕦𝕕! (Thud!)

"RINNNN...!!! NO!!!...."

ℂ𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕜! (Creak!)

The scene suddenly paused before breaking into multiple shards, resembling the broken mirrors.

Katsuto was back again within the empty black space, still looking for the reason behind his views.

"R-Rin....!?"

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers!)

"Why didn't you save me, Katsuto?..."

"No I....just....."

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers!)

"Why did you let me die!?...."

"I tried saving you!....."

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers)

"You are a liar, Katsuto!..."

"Please Stop....!"

𝕎𝕙𝕚𝕤𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤! (Whispers)

"It's because of you I died!...."

"I SAID STOP!!!!..."

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

ℍ𝕦𝕗𝕗! (Huff!)

Katsuto sat up straight while huffing loudly, his back was drenched in a cold sweat and he skin colour had gone pale all of a second.

"I am sorry Rin, Daichi! I couldn't protect you both.....!"

Tears emerged from Katsuto's eyes, his serious face actually had another expression other than being serious as he is most of the time.
