章節 10: Case closed
We entered the limousine sent by the commissioner of the Brangel Police Department Wright Log and went to the HQ of the Police Department.
There were a lot of things going on at the HQ like beating criminals and interrogating someone. But there was a sad atmosphere there.
A lot of officers were preparing the area where the salute festival will take place.
When we entered the HQ the sub-inspector Willy Brand came to us greeted us and expressed his gratitude for coming.
My mom replied, "What are you talking about Willy, it's my husband's salute festival so it's obvious that we will come; you don't have to give us your gratitude or something".
I understood by hearing my mom's voice that she is angry so I made an excuse and took my mom and left from there.
I took my mom and went to my dad's former office or you can also say where he worked.
I actually grabbed my mom's hand and forcefully made her come here.
My dad's office is as same as it was before but the department is giving the inspector position to Willy from today after the salute festival.
So it seems like he couldn't hide his joy feeling and happy face today and my mom noticed it.
To stop any fight from happening I brought my mom into this office.
She slapped me for dragging her forcefully here but she felt sorry the next moment and kissed me on my forehead and said: "I am sorry my son I think I am acting like a child now".
I replied, "No Mom you are acting fine It's just that I am acting like a strong adult who knows everything".
She genuinely smiled for the first time after Dad's death and said, "You are right; I also noticed it you are acting like an adult these days".
I replied, "You know Mom someone has to act tough or the cruel world will swallow us".
My mom looked at me for some time and said "Look Itami you don't have to act strong all the time you can act as you would all the time when your dad was alive".
I replied, "I will try my best Mom".
She sighed and told me to rely on her more often.
I listened to her words and replied "I would have if you had saved Chasm that day".
She looked at my dad's photo after hearing my words and replied "You have changed Itami".
I replied, "Whose fault, is it?" She listened to my words and said in a low voice "You know Itami it wasn't my fault that I couldn't save your younger brother".
I was going to say something to my mom but that's when Commissioner Wright entered the office and said the preparations are completed, please come.
So, we finished our conversation there to attend the salute festival.
All the police officers were standing in the courtyard where they will say their last words and will thank him for his service.
The festival will end with everyone's salute.
The first 6 officers bring a blank coffin with the flag of Domidro country above it. The coffin was decorated with beautiful flowers.
They placed the coffin on the stage and saluted it. After placing the coffin in its right place the commissioner gives his speech.
In his speech, he said, "Yohan was a brilliant officer, he always placed his personal interests after the nation's interests and it is indeed a big loss for us that we lost Mr. Yohan Isaac in a tragedy."
After his speech sub-inspector, Willy Brand gave his speech.
He said, "He feels very sad right now cause his only friend is no longer in this world but he promises in front of us to his best friend Yohan that he will never forget him and his kindness".
A lot of other people gave their speeches after that so we had to listen to their boring speeches for an hour.
After the speech ceremony, all the officers gathered around the blank coffin and paid their respects to my father.
They saluted and fired their revolvers 7 times in order to say goodbye to my father.
After all that they burned the coffin in front of my eyes. It is a ritual in Brangel City to burn the coffin if there is nobody inside it.
They do it when the family doesn't find the body or the body's shape is so bad that they can't retrieve it.
They do it to release the trapped soul of the person. If the person dies in an accident or tragedy and their body can't be retrieved, they burn a blank coffin to release the trapped soul.
They believe that by doing so the soul will be relieved from its sufferings.
Actually, I don't believe in it, To me a soul's true salvation is when they live a good life with righteous principles.
If they live a life with wrong principles that hurt people then there is no salvation for them.
Anyway, after seeing the coffin burn for 15 minutes we take our leave.
With the ending of the salute festival, my dad's case is also closed. I don't think I have to think about getting arrested anymore.
Now my concern is how to handle Mrs. Aizer but I have to wait for a day to find a way to solve the concern.
On the other side in the Kalid universe, Chris has fallen asleep after creating the Flame Titan.
His Flame Titan killed the Phoenix Emperor and we were all saved.
Chris slept for 2 hours straight when he woke up he took a look around and asked me "Where are we?"
I replied, "We are on the 3rd floor of the infamous Azaria dungeon and you have defeated the floor boss all by yourself".
After hearing Madam Trivut's words I remembered everything about how I defeated the floor boss and all the incidents after entering the dungeon.
I was too tired after using my 'Flame Titan' spell that I nearly lost consciousness.
After waking up I asked Gilbert "What is the plan now?"
He replied, "There is no plan we will just push forward like we always do".
I washed my face with water and replied "Oh! I should have guessed that".
Gilbert smiled and said, "Good to have you back, Chris".
I replied, "The pleasure is all mine".
We prepared everything to step our feet on the 4th floor known as 'Ogre Town'.
Ogre Town is full of giant Ogres they spawn everywhere on the 4th floor. They carry a giant mace as their weapon.
They eat anything they find but they especially like to eat human flesh. So they attack the adventures that come here.
They have some intelligence but their intelligence doesn't equal a cow's intelligence.
So they are described as fools in giant bodies. It's not too hard to kill them but if you let down your guard then they will become a stronger foe to you.
So never ever let your guard down. We didn't find any ogres after entering the floor but suddenly we saw 2 ogres eating a deer.
So we took our alert formation and observed their behavior. We observed them for some time but we didn't see any abnormalities in their behavior.
So we thanked them for being normal and attacked. Draies cast his 'Roots of Eternal' it's a Holy magic in attack mode.
His roots captured the Ogres and Madam Trivut cast her 'Firebolt' and burned them.
I and Gilbert were just sitting and enjoying the scene of burning Ogres.
But that's when Gilbert pulls some spoon and knife from his pocket and hands me a set too.
I looked at him with wonder and asked "Why are you giving me a spoon and knife?"
He replied with a smile "Cause we are going to eat the ogres".
After hearing his words I try to run from there but it was too late by the time Gilbert grabs my collar and looks at me with his demonic face.
I look back at him with a scared face and scream.
Madam Trivut looks at us and asks with an annoyed face "What happened?"
I replied in loud voice "Madam he is trying to eat the burning ogres".
After hearing my reply she laughs for straight 10 minutes and we were just looking at her.
Gilbert also forgot his appetite by looking at her. Cause she looks like a donkey when laughing.
Don't mind my words Trivut fans but it's the truth. You can curse me as you want but it will not change her ugly laugh.
After finishing her laughing she looks at the spoon and knife that Gilbert was holding.
He asked her "Why are you looking at the spoon like that?"
She doesn't reply anything and snatches the spoon and knife from Gilbert and runs toward the fried Ogres.
I was just standing there and laughing. I never thought that we could have fun while exploring the floors. (To be continued)
