Noah and C.C. spent a pleasant two days in Hakone. They explored the natural beauty, enjoyed the mountain scenery, and felt the serene atmosphere around the lake. On the first day, they visited an onsen to relax and enjoy the relaxation offered by the natural hot springs.
In the evening, they sampled local cuisine at a traditional restaurant, trying the area's specialties. On the second day, they explored tourist attractions such as the Hakone Open-Air Art Museum and enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the ropeway.
After two days full of adventure and togetherness, Noah and C.C. felt satisfied and happy before finally returning to their routines. The experience in Hakone became a beautiful memory that they will always remember.
On the way home, the atmosphere inside the train seemed calm. However, suddenly they saw a group of people standing in the middle of the train track with Knightmare shooting at the front of the train, making the train stop.
In addition to Noah and C.C., there were also many Britannian nobles on the train. The hearts of the Britannian nobles were beating fast, and a sense of anxiety began to envelop the atmosphere when they saw the Elevens pointing their guns at them. Noah soon realized that they had been caught in a terrorist act.
Noah didn't know if he was the unlucky one or the terrorists were the unlucky ones who chose the wrong target
One of the terrorists approached them, while the others kept their distance, pointing their guns at the Britannia nobles.
"Immediately squat down and put your hands above your heads" the terrorist shouted loudly, ordering them to raise their hands.
"You dirty Eleven, how dare you!"
One of the nobles shouted angrily and insulted the terrorists.
...Bang...
Hearing Eleven's words, the terrorist immediately became angry and shot the noble. For the Japanese, the word Eleven was an insult to them. So of course they would be angry when they heard the word Eleven.
The death of the noble immediately made the others scream in panic and no one dared to say Eleven anymore even though they had contempt in their hearts.
Noah kept quiet and waited for what these people wanted to do. As he observed his surroundings he frowned, because he felt the magic power of the terrorist leader.
The terrorist leader was a silver-haired young man with a pale face and red eyes, who was none other than Niel, the vampire youth.
Without saying anything else, Noah immediately disappeared from his place in an instant and appeared in front of Niel.
"Who are you?"
Before Niel could react, Noah had grabbed his neck and his weight.
"Uhuk...uhuk.."
Niel who had just regained consciousness immediately coughed and was shocked when he saw someone appear in front of him suddenly without him realizing it.
"Who are you... let go of the leader quickly" immediately the other terrorists reacted and aimed at Noah with firearms in their hands.
"Shut up" Noah said coldly while forcing the fate of death on the terrorists and making them die instantly without being able to scream.
"Please let me go..."
After seeing the death of his subordinates in a way he didn't know, Niel who had just regained consciousness immediately screamed in panic while trying to free himself. But unfortunately all his efforts were in vain, Noah's hands were still as solid as stone and continued to hold him.
The reason why Niel was so scared was because he didn't feel any power that made the terrorists die and his survival instincts were constantly warning him of death.
"You damn Eleven"
Seeing the sudden turn of events, the Britannia nobles were shocked before cursing the Elevens.
"Shut up" Noah ordered while forcing the fate of death on the nobles as well, because Noah didn't want to waste time with them at this time.
The unexpected appearance of the Variable had made Noah think seriously because when Noah tried to see Niel's memories, it was like there was a wall blocking him. This was the first time someone could stop him from seeing their memories.
So Noah was even more curious about Niel's identity and didn't want to be disturbed by the nobles.
"What's wrong, Noah?" C.C asked as she approached when she saw Noah suddenly take action.
"C.C, it seems we've found something interesting," Noah said to C.C as he released his hand from Niel's neck.
Even though Niel was released, he did not dare to act rashly and waited quietly because he was afraid that he would be killed in the next moment by the mysterious red-haired young man.
When Niel heard the name C.C and saw a beautiful green-haired woman in front of him, he was stunned for a moment because C.C shouldn't be here right now. But after seeing the red-haired young man in front of him, he had some understanding and thought that maybe Noah was also one of the people who carried out the mission in this world.
"Oh? Is there something strange about him?" C.C asked curiously while observing Niel carefully.
"I feel a strange magic power flowing inside him"
Noah explained to C.C.
"Sir can you let me go? I will give you all the points I have. After all this is not a camp confrontation, so killing me is useless " Niel said to Noah. Because he thought they were from Infinite Space, he offered points to save his life.
Inside Infinite Space, every so often there will be a camp confrontation. Where they will kill each other to get everything their opponent has. outside the confrontation of camp, even if you kill a Walker (member of Infinite Space) they will not get any benefits.
"Oh? How many points do you have and before that can you explain your abilities?" Noah asked following Niel's words, pretending to be someone from the same place.
"Sir, I have 30,000 points, and my ability is blood magic. My race is a vampire. Can you let me go?"
Niel explained his abilities.
"How many comrades do you have and what are their powers?"
Noah asked for more detailed information.
"We are a three person team, our captain is a werewolf, while the other member is a telekinesis user"
"I see. By the way, can you explain the power division rankings that you have?" Noah asked without pretending anymore.
Hearing Noah's question, Niel was stunned for a moment before realizing that maybe the young man in front of him was not a Walker.
But even so, he still answered Noah's question with the right answer and did not reveal the core secret of Infinite Space.
If a Walker reveals the secret of Infinite Space, he will be immediately destroyed. And every walker has protection on their memory to prevent the leaking of the secret of Infinite Space.
"Is that all you know?, where did you come from?"
Hearing Noah's question, Niel did not answer.
"Then... die!"
Seeing that he did not answer, Noah understood that he would not get any more answers so he immediately killed him. Of course Noah left his body intact, because he had other uses for it.
"No wonder I didn't know about you, it turns out you are not from this world at all" C.C concluded Noah's origins based on the information revealed by Niel.
"Right, how are you interested in exploring another world with me. I'm sure you won't be bored and in the infinite world there are also many immortal beings, so you won't spend eternal time alone. Besides, I will also accompany you to see the beauty of the infinite world together and accompany you in eternal time"
Noah said sincerely while looking into C.C's sparkling golden eyes.
"Can I consider this a confession?" C.C asked Noah's last sentence with a playful smile.
"If that's what you want, then I don't mind becoming a demon king to accompany you, witch."
C.C chuckled, the laughter ringing softly in the silence of the night. "Demon king, huh? Interesting. Who would have thought you would be someone who could be proud of that title," she said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and challenge.
"Every world has its role, and I feel this role suits us. You the immortal witch, and I the demon king who faithfully accompanies you. Together, we can explore unimaginable wonders."
Noah smiled, feeling the closeness between them growing stronger.
C.C nodded, considering the offer.
"Infinite world, huh? Are you sure we're ready to face all the immortals there? They might not be as kind as you think," she said, her eyes showing curiosity and worry.
"Either way, we won't be alone. We'll look out for each other," Noah replied confidently. "And who knows, maybe we'll find out more about ourselves on this journey."
C.C was silent for a moment, considering Noah's words.
"Okay, I agree. But if we meet a scary creature, don't expect me to protect you," she said with a mischievous smile.
Noah laughed, feeling excited. "Then I'll be the one protecting you, witch. We'll be an inseparable team."
With renewed vigor, the two of them looked up at the starry night sky, as if the stars were celebrating the new step they had taken. Their adventure into an unimaginable world was now before them, and they were ready to face it together.
