Capítulo 148: Chapter 147 In The Bus
"Who's Shizuka-san's friend?" Four asked confusedly as he turned his head to the back.
"Rika Minami," I said. Four nodded, and Gryuu started searching for Rika's information.
"Alex, how did you know about Rika?" asked Shizuka with a serious manner whose laps that I was sitting on. I looked up at her with a deadpan face.
"... Me, God, get it?" I said as I pointed myself.
"Oh~, right, is she safe?" she asked as she returned into her goofy personality. I looked forward again which there were Ray and Fear in front of me, looking straight at me.
"How many personnel with her at the moment?" I asked them.
"Hm... there are many people with her, I suppose, so she's going to be fine," Ray said.
"Stain got assigned to be with her, Alex," Fear added.
"Nice, please tell Stain and his squad to stick with the plan," I said. Of course, I wanted to save Rika alone, but there were still civilians in the airport, so I won't be hasty.
"Alex, have some tea," Haruhime said as she gave me a cup of warm tea.
"Tea~," I said as I reached out for the cup and sipped it. The tea was bitter, yet refreshing.
"Ha~, thanks, Haruhime," I said as I held the cup the same level as my chest. The bus was modified to have less motion inside as the bus was moving or stopping, so now, the bus was as if still not moving an inch.
Haruhime then patted my head and walked towards the others, giving out cups of tea. Well, the tea was made by Fritz, the tea master that had been living in the 'Soul World' from the start. The tea was a blast in the 'Soul World', and those people that had been drinking coffee stopped drinking coffee and started drinking tea instead.
The tea product was named after Fritz, so it's Fritz's tea, which was easy to remember. And so, he was the first person that ascended to godhood in the 'Soul World', with the title of God of Tea. Even though Fritz became a god, he didn't change a single bit. He was still an average, peaceful man that wanted to give his life for tea and me.
And if God of Wine exist, why not God of Tea?
"Could I have a coffee instead?" Saya asked. Tohru who was giving out cups of tea shook her head and said.
"Unfortunately, we don't have coffee, as Alex doesn't like coffee," Tohru said.
"Nya~ tea is better than coffee!" Chloe said as she raised one of her fist to the air.
"Jasmine tea!" Nejire said as she raised one of her fist as well. Nejire loved jasmine tea, so Fritz would make jasmine tea for Nejire.
"But we do have black coffee," Tohru added. Kendo loved black coffee, so we got a group of people to make black coffee beans. Coffee do exist in the 'Soul World', but it was mainly black coffee, and only a small group of coffee lovers still drank it.
"Then I'll drink that," Saya said. Tohru then went to the kitchen and started to grind the roasted coffee beans.
"Well then, I'm going to research my babies now, bye," Hatsume said as she stood up and went to the door that said 'Extra Rooms'. Then Hephy, Tsubaki, and Riveria also left to do their things.
"What's behind that door?" Rei asked as she gazed the door.
"It's a room where a normal human, like you, can't enter, only those who have my tattoos can," I said.
"What tattoo?" Saya chirped.
"This tattoo," Mirko said as she showed her shoulder. It was the dragon tattoo.
"So, I need that tattoo in order to pass that door?" Saya asked.
"You need to either be loyal to me or love me, that's how you'll get that tattoo," I said. Of course, Rei, Saya, Misuzu, and Toshimi were surprised.
"Alex, there's a big crowd surrounding us," Four said from the driver's seat. I jumped off from Shizuka's laps and turned to my teen appearance. I changed my clothes to urban combat clothes and black chest rigs with stacks of magazines, using the Space Magic.
I grabbed my HK416 from the inventory and put the sling over my shoulder. I put on a neck gaiter that had skull patterns on it. I also used Space Magic to put a holstered P-10F on my waist.
My HK416 was mounted with holographic side with a magnifier, a laser sight, a flashlight, and an angled fore-grip and a silencer, as I don't want to sprout any discussion about the gun. The HK416's barrel was 14.5 inch long, which was good for long range, but not that efficient in Close Quarter Combat.
"Four, Gryuu, stay here, push the gas if the route is clear! Girls, comfort Shizuka and the others, things will get ugly. Ray, Fear, with me." I said as I went upstairs to check the situation, as the bus was already surrounded with people. Ray and Fear also followed me upstairs.
There was a door, separating the inside of the bus and the second floor, so I opened the door and walked towards Hirano, Lyd, Cliff, and Aude. The second floor had wooden flooring and black metal railings.
"You people are the ones that made Japan like this," said a man with a loudspeaker said as he pointed to us from the back of the group. I frowned at this, as this was surely some kind of political bullshit.
"Get out of the bus!"
"Take the wheels off!"
"Break the glass!" the surrounding people shouted as they threw things to the bus and smashing the bus with a rod or something sturdy.
"Hirano, get inside!" I shouted as I switched the fire mode to semi-automatic. Hirano nodded and ran inside, as he knew that he needed to listen to me.
"Alex, what should we do?" Aude asked.
"Get these people away from the bus," I said as I gazed the man that was shouting with a loudspeaker. I knew that these people won't converse in peace, and I didn't want to converse in peace anyway. And the fact that the people had perceived that everything the man said was true, the man was a dangerous man.
I aimed the man that was shouting and flipped the magnifier to the sight, so I could see further, then I pressed the trigger.
Pht
The shot wasn't loud, as Hatsume had modified the gun to be less loud and ear-friendly as well. But the people near the man that I killed didn't know what had happened, so they froze until a shout made them realized what had happened.
"Kyaaa~! He killed somebody!" a woman shouted near the dead corpse. The crowds went into shambles, as they heard that someone died.
"Run for your lives!"
"I don't want to die!"
"People, that man is the one killed him, we need to kill him before he-" a bullet hole appeared right in the middle of his forehead, cutting his speech. I lowered my gun and looked at Fear, who shot the bullet, and nodded at her.
"Kill anyone that is a threat!" I said as I raised my gun again.
"Roger!" Aude, Cliff, Ray, Fear, and Lyd shouted.
Pht pht pht pht pht
We started opening fire to the ones that were a threat to us, like those who had a gun in their hands that wanted to shoot at us, those who were throwing Molotov cocktails, bricks, and sharp things.
Of course, there weren't many, but there were still 'brave and righteous' people that tried to fight back.
"Reloading!" I shouted as I ducked down and pressed the magazine release button. Lyd immediately took over and started shooting from my side. The empty magazine slid out from the gun and I caught it, putting the empty magazine to the pockets in the chest rigs and put a fresh magazine to the gun.
As soon as I was ready to roll again, the bus started moving again, as the route was clear now. And so, all of us immediately aimed at the back of the bus, making sure that no one was on the back of the bus and no one was following us.
"Ha~ what a day to start with," Ray said as she slumped into the floor. I switched the fire mode to safety and took a seat as well.
"Well, this is just the start, Ray," I said as I leaned my back against the metal railings.
"Things will get worse in the future," Lyd said as he continued to observe the surroundings. I nodded at his remarks, as his statement was correct, things will get worse after this. Then, someone opened the door to the second floor, it was Tohru, bringing a tray of cups of tea.
"I brought cups of tea for all of you," she said as she closed the door again.
"Ah, Tohru, thank you very much," Fear said as she took a cup and sipped the hot tea.
"Thank you, Tohru-san," Cliff said as he took a cup.
"You're the best, Tohru," Ray said as she took a cup.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Tohru-san," Aude said as he took a cup. Then she put the tray to the Inventory and looked over to me.
"Shall we head back inside, Alex?" she asked as she took out a big blanket from the inventory and covered my body with it. I smiled and nodded.
"You guys can go inside if you want to," I said to Ray and the others.
"We'll just stay here and keep eyes open for any threats, Alex, you should go inside," Ray said as she held the cup of tea. The others nodded at her remark.
"I'll see, then I'll see you guys inside then," I turned to my kid appearance and used Space Magic to teleport all of my gears to the inventory and changed my clothes into my house clothes. Tohru picked me up and carried me to downstairs.
When we were at downstairs, the girls were talking calmly with Shizuka, Rei, Saya, and the others. Eri was playing with Kiko, who was in her wolf form, and Arles, who was in her rabbit form. Tohru then put me down, and I walked to the girls while dragging the huge blanket.
"Are you okay?" Freya asked as she knelt down and gazed right into my eyes. She was worried about my mental health condition, as she knew that I became mentally tired more often than when I was in MHA world and Danmachi world.
"I'm okay, Freya, how's everyone instead?" I asked as I hugged Freya and let go of her.
"Everyone is okay for now, but they were a bit shocked when the people surrounded us and started smashing the windows with wooden rods."
"Ah, alright, um... Hirano, go to Aude and ask him for your gun and gear and skills that you need to learn," I said. Hirano hadn't learned Diamond Body yet, so previously, I told him to get inside, so he won't get hurt.
"Alright, boss," he said as he went upstairs. Then I looked over to Saeko and walked over to her.
"Saeko, here," I said as I took out a katana from the inventory. Saeko, who followed the code of Bushido, was shocked, as a katana for a samurai was an extension of himself, a part of him. A weapon that would follow you in triumph and in death. That's why it was a part of him.
Of course, I gave her the best of the best katana, as I knew that Saeko would stick with this katana for her entire life.
Then she reached out for the katana, which was what I expected, but she passed the katana and reached out for me instead. She grabbed me and kissed me, which took me caught off guard. Then, I turned into my teen appearance and continued to kiss Saeko, living things up.
The moment we finished kissing, she smiled while her cheek was beet red and breathing heavily.
"Now, I'm yours,"
