Chapter 4: Meeting
Not far from Chika's base, Hakai is moving aimlessly around the sea. He looking around the area hoping to find something that could pique his interest. He even let himself get caught by the enemy radar to see their reaction, but he knows that his enemy already aware of how strong he is and will act cautiously.
Hakai continues to move until he heard someone calls him. He looks at his communication devices and sees a name there. 'Anemone', his fellow Abyssal Admiral that joining his union forces when he starts to rebel against the other Abyssal. He then stops and says,
"What is it, Anemone? Is something happening at our Base? Did that Grandma do something stupid there?"
"Nothing. It's just really rare for you to walk around aimlessly like this. Did something in your mind?" ask Anemone
"Ah... It's nothing. It's just I am waiting for the gear of fate to continue moving again. I hope it will entertain me."
"Let me guess... You want to meet another Ship Girl?"
"Not only the Ship Girl," answer Hakai
"Then... You want to see... Something..."
"Probably."
"Like usual, huh."
Hakai only smirks after hears Anemone's remarks. He then continues,
"Whatever. Just come here, Anemone. It's really lonely when I am wandering around alone like this."
"Well, there's a lot of fish in the sea, right? And I believe there is a lot of bird, right? What about you have a chat with them?" jokes Anemone
"Shut up. Just come here!"
"Alright!"
Hakai then sighs and then looks around. The sea is really calm and the wind blows slowly. He then closes his eyes and notices something. He mumbles,
"My my... Someone is near me... Who is that, I wonder..."
Hakai then tidying up a little bit and looks at the horizon. He could see three Ship Girls approaching his location. He notices that they are stopping for a while before they continue to approach him. He thinks,
'From that movement... Why I feel like their intention is like Akizuki back then...'
He then shakes his head for a while and smiles a little bit. He then says,
"Well... Whatever... Let me judge their intention when they near me."
Little by little, the three Ship Girls arrived near him. They are Kashima, Hamakaze, and Oyashio. They look at Hakai for a while and then Kashima the one that asks him first,
"Are you... The rumoured Abyssal Admiral that destroys our base?"
Hakai looks at Kashima and notices something is strange from her eyes. He then smiles and says,
"Well... If I am not the rumoured Abyssal Admiral, how in this world I could stay afloat here? Of course, I am the person that you are searching for."
"..."
"Oh my... I'm really sorry. Let me introduce myself."
Hakai bows at them and continues,
"My name is Hakai, the one who inflict fear to the world and beyond."
"..."
"Rejoice... As you already have a chat with your greatest enemy!"
"Why are you here? Are you going to attack my base?" asks Kashima without caring his remarks.
"You are really fast to jump to any conclusion..." says Hakai quite annoyed
"Just answer me!" shouts Kashima
"Haaaa... You should have to know the answer. Why must I answer the same question again and again?"
"So... You are really want to destroy my base."
Hakai only smiles and his smiles immediately vanished when he notices some bruises on her neck. When Kashima wants to ask something else, she is really surprised to see that Hakai already passed through Hamakaze and Oyashio.
Hakai arrived in front of Kashima and touched her cheek. His eyes change from into red blood colour and then says,
"You eyes... Did something happen with you?"
"Why... Are you ask me... That question?" ask Kashima
Hakai knows that Kashima is trying to act strongly in front of him. He then touches her neck and continues,
"This bruise... and your eyes... I know that there is a beast worse than the Abyssal... Someone who abuses you daily..."
"..."
"And then this silver hair and beautiful skin... Are you perhaps Kashima, Katori's little sister?"
Hearing that name, Kashima looks at Hakai and says,
"That's... Me..."
"For some reason, Kashima that Katori told me is different with you..."
"..."
"Just like a stained white flower. The stain already takes most of its beautiful crown and hoping to wither soon."
"What are you talking about?!"
"You eyes... Telling me to kill you here... Just like Akizuki..."
"I don't..."
But before Kashima could say anything, Hakai already pats her head gently. That really surprised her. The enemy of humanity, the one who brings fear to this world, gently pats her head. Something that she never gets when she is with Chika.
Tears start to flow from Kashima's eyes and Hakai notices that. He then looks behind him and notices the same bruises on Hamakaze and Oyashio. And when he looks at their eyes, he feels the same gaze from there. He then says them,
"So... The same thing also happens to the two of you. And I believe the other Ship Girls at your base."
No one answers him. Because of that, Hakai then smirks as his eyes back to light blue colour and says,
"Well... That's not my problem."
"Hakai..." says Kashima suddenly
"Huh? What is it, Kashima?"
"Are you the one who..."
"I save your sister. The navy is the one who sunk her back then and now she is alright at my base. As an Abyssal," answer Hakai
"Good to hear that..." says Kashima
Hakai feels there nothing he could do there, so he decides to leave. But, Kashima holds his hand. Hakai looks at Kashima and notices the face of someone that really want to leave the world. Kashima then says,
"Then... Could you let me... Meet her?"
"Meet her? How to do that? You are a Ship Girl while she is an Abyssal. Don't ask the impossible, Kashima."
"No... What I mean is... Please... Take me away... I can't stand it anymore... They already rape me every day without any care. They kick me, punch me, and do a lot of horrible thing to me. They... See me... as an object... I can't stand it anymore..."
Kashima starts to cry after saying that and together with that Hamakaze and Oyashio look away from her. Hakai looks at Kashima with a disgusted face and says,
"Are you the only one who experience it? Or someone else also experiences it? Hamakaze? Oyashio?"
"About that..."
"You are really egoist, Kashima."
"Huh..."
"Do you think by thinking by running away from that it will resolve your problem? No... You only make it worse."
"I..."
"I know about that... Even though I like to make chaos around the world, I detest those who run away from their problem."
"..."
"I know as I fight more people and see how they react to one situation."
"I..."
"I know this face... The same face that Akizuki shows to me back then..." says Hakai as he touches her cheek
"..."
"I will tell you one thing... I will not kill you now, but I will save you one day... But not now..."
"I... I know..."
Hakai smiles at Kashima and then says,
"My... It's really strange that it comes from the one who brings chaos to this world. Really strange. But, I promise you that I will save you one day."
"Thank you..."
Kashima then turns back, orders Kashima and Oyashio, and leaves him alone. When Hakai see it, he says,
"See you later... Kashima."
Hakai continues to observe them as they leave his sight. His smile immediately vanished and says,
"Huh... It's a really interesting turn of event... I wonder... What should I do..."
