Three days later after Alex had join the group, Tatsuya began teaching him the basics of Japanese, and to their greatest suprise, he had the talent of learning languages.
Two days after picking him up he learnt the basic hiragana and katakana characters and their pronunciations, and during the third day he was now at sentence formation, and surprisingly he was good at it
[So now repeat after me]
"My name is Alex"
Tatsuya said
"My...name...is Alex" Alex repeated
[That's good, alright thats it for today, let's go get something to eat, and remeber, only Japanese] Tatsuya said
[Yes bro Tatsuya]
Alex said.
Tsk
Tatsuya clicked his tongue and did as if he didn't hear him, Alex knew what was going on
"Alright, Tatsuya nii-san" Alex repeated
"Yup that's more like it"
The both of them head out of the Inn to go get something to eat, they wanted to explore the village more
"Let's head here" They entered a small bar and went straight to the free space infront of them.
"Ohhh??" Tatsuya noticed the stare they got from the dirty looking people in the bar, not him, but Alex.
"Alex-kun, are those the once that kidnapped you" Tatsuya point towards the dirty looking gang of men, the gang summed up to a total of 20 men, to be precise Pirates
Alex looked at them and a shiver ran down his spine as he remembered the treatment he got from them. Tatsuya looked at Alex covered in sweat and fear was the message his face was giving.
"Don't sweat it, your response is enough".
A waitress came over to their table to take their orders
"Please we will like two full plate of miso soup ramen and a pork and corn seeds for topping, and please can you get us a towel and a bowl of water" Tatsuya smiled at her, the waitress blushed for a minute, she was captivated by his appearance.
"Wait a minute Bossu, isn't this that runt, he looks so much different" One of the pirates walked towards Tatsuya's table
"Anoo...I'm so sorry, but you got the wrong person, as you can see, this is junior brother and today is his birthday so I'm treating him to his best meal" Tatsuya calmly said while giving them an innocent smile.
*BAMM
A man smacks the table and stands up, walking towards
"Do you think I'm a fool!!" The man was huge and chubby, no muscles just a lump of dirty jelly fat.
"T-that's r-r-right, i-i- I am h-his brother" Alex forced words out of his mouth
"Hmm??" The other and draws closer to Alex to have a closer look
"that's odd, the white runt doesn't speak or understands our language, it seems like he is another person" The man walks away but the boss didn't. He grabs Alex by his neck
"Oi, I'm not a fool, I never forget my goods"
"It's seems like you don't understand that I'm trying my possible best to avoid sending someone to their graves"
"Huhh??..."
*Bamm
Tatsuya sends the man flying and crashing on the wall
"Oi bossu" The other men ran and checked on their boss only to find him totally unconscious
[Hey Tatsuya, This guys are no match for you, we should run out of here] Alex said
[What you just witnessed now isn't enough to tell you that I'll clap this guy's in seconds, first of all run outside and wait for me] Alex obeys Tatsuya and ran outside, only to see men and men flying out of the door.
"Alright, that's it for now" Tatsuya comes out of the bar dusting his hands
"Oi wait" The boss of the gang drags himself as he staggers from one place to another
"So you are not done for" Tatsuya said
"I'll kill you for stealing my stuff and messing with us"
The man raged towards Tatsuya and flings his hand in attempt to throw a punch, but the punch was so weak that Tatsuya didn't move and just accepted it straight to his guts
"..."
"..."
Both Tatsuya and Akex stared at the man
"Was that a punch" Tatsuya grabs the man by his hand and began to break his fingers one by one.
"Stop I'm begging you, please stop" The man cried his eyes out
"You and your boys will leave this boy alone and never see him again....no, never step foot in this village" Tatsuya voice thundered
"Yes, Yes, yes, we will leave here immediately" The man cried.
The cry of the man got the attention of the people living nearby, as they witnessed Tatsuya act of bravery and began to clap for him
"Huh...what's this" Tatsuya leaves the man and head inside with Alex to have their meal.
"I'm so sorry for the damages, if there is anyway to repay you I'll gladly do so" Tatsuya pleads
"No, no need for that, beating those men was already the debt you've paid, those men caused harm to the villagers and nobody stood against them, they plundered from the rich and poor, they eat and not pay their bills, so getting rid of them was enough" The waitress said
"Oh, well then. Thanks for the meal"
Tatsuya focused on the meal in front of him and began to take everything down sip by sip
"Humm...mister here is your bowl of water" the waitress carried a wooden bowl of water and dropped it on Tatsuya's table
"No need for that" Tatsuya waved his hand
"I though they will be able to put up a fight, but it didn't happen, I was. planning to use it to clean the blood stains" Tatsuya said with a smile
"Tatsuya-nii how did you get this strong" Alex said to Tatsuya, Tatsuya stopped eating his bowl of Ramen as hurting memories of the Sakano scary gaze and Final Phase flooded his head
"Rigorous training" Tatsuya said with a smile
"Then can you train me"
"Nope"
"Whyy??"
"We plan on leaving soon" Tatsuya said
"To where?"
"Home, our mission is over" Tatsuya said and dropped the chop sticks into the empty plate
"Then can I follow you" Alex asked. Tatsuya grins and replied him
"No"
Three days later
Tatsuya, and the rest of Division 8 were at the Mizukiri village gate to bid them farewell, After the incident in the bar Tatsuya became famous amongst the villagers
Tatsuya walked up to grumpy Alex
"Why the sad face?" Tatsuya asked
"Take me with you"
"No" Tatsuya answered, Alex ran away in rage.
"Take care of him for me" Tatsuya said to the Waitress
"Yes"
"Alright Tatsuya, time to move"
"Alright then farewell..."
"Wait a minute, you can't just mess with one of my lackey and leave" A huge muscular man said as he came out of the midst of the villagers holding unconscious Alex in his hands tied with a rope
"Hmmm...who us the strongest amongst you...." The man swept his gaze at them and stopped at Ryujin
"I guess it's you then"
*clank
The corking sound of a barrel rings at Tatsuya's ears, in that second he came to the realization what he was dealing with. Heard the sound so many time back on earth, in movies and FPS games, but this was the first time he heard up close. He knew that no body was matched for the speed and piercing strength, it was all over he thought as the sound of gunshot rang through his ears
*BAMM
