Chapter 8: the lost title.
At night in Kiminare Village.
A village known as the ' village of peace ' by the locals, because people who live here believe in non-violence and have been sticking to this principle from many decades. Cases of robbery, murder or any criminal act rarely happen here.
The locals here treat everyone equally and kindly with no discrimination against the poor and other races. Even locals here serve food for free to visitors for a limited time and could be longer if you were in a poor condition.
Apart from being called the ' village of peace ' kiminare village is also well-known for its marketing sector, it primarily focuses on farming crops, vegetables and also clothing manufacturing. Various people from other villages and cities came here to demonstrate their abilities, selling what they are good at like food, clothes and many more and also Kiminare village is more developed than the other villages.
This village is just a dream-like existence to a teenager who is walking down the bustling street of this village, turning his head left to right as he watches the people around him in amazement though his face remains calm as ever.
" Licht- are you liking this village? ",
suddenly a voice echoed in Licht's ear causing him to turn around.
" Yes-sure I am ",
Licht looked back and said to the old man behind him, he was non-other than the sus-old man Kurayami. He was wearing the same clothes as before and also holding a sword in his right hand but the difference lay in Licht.
Now he was wearing a moon-patterned jinbei kimono with navy-coloured pants which are fastened at his shins by white kyahan guards. He was also wearing traditional black tabi socks and sandals but the most important part is that the clothes are of his size.
[ A.N: Licht didn't bring his sword ]
It seems like the old man had bought some clothes for licht.
" Ho~Ho, didn't I tell you...you will fall in love with this village ",
Kurayami said with a smile yet a proud expression on his face.
' I am not sure about love, but I can't deny about admiration
... I haven't seen people this lively in years ',
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes as he remembered about his kingdom but it disappeared after a few seconds and they continued to stroll around the market, buying groceries and some cooking utensils.
" Ah~Kurayami-san is this your grandson? he looks super cute ",
In their way, many shopkeepers who had known kurayami for a long time asked this question to him.
" Oh~yeah, he sure is, how? isn't my grandson the cutest in this village, I cherish him from a bud to a beautiful fruit ",
Kurayami also didn't appear to refute this instead shamelessly admitted it while being a proud person in front of others. Licht on the other side got used to it and didn't bother him while he was faking some story of his own with his grandson.
An hour passed in a flash of an eye and by this time Licht and Kurayami were also done with their shopping.
" Umm~so fragment! ",
As the two were returning to their home, a sweet and pleasant smell entered kurayami's nose, and the latter couldn't help but exclaim.
" What so fragment?, Oji-san ",
Licht inquired while looking at kurayami, he was a little confused as he couldn't sense any pleasant smell at all.
" Let's change the plan, for now, your Oji-san will treat you with delicious udon noodles today ",
Kurayami said as he blinked before motioning Licht to follow him, to be honest Licht was also tempted as well.
As a transmigrator, he was curious about many things, including the cuisine of this world so without much thinking he followed Kurayami.
10mins later...
Licht and Kurayami were sitting inside an udon-specialised Japanese restaurant.
As their order would take a little time before being served, Kurayami began to look around the restaurant watching the decoration of the shop while Licht focused on the Electric light above him.
' No matter, how many times I looked at it, it's still astonishing as ever... the electric pole, electric lights and their concept is really amazing ',
Licht thought before resting his chin on his hand, recalling the moment when he saw the electric lights for the first time in his life, which startled him for a moment and curiosity began to spark inside him as the latter couldn't help but asked Kurayami about it.
Kurayami also explained to him about electricity and some other things related to it like how it works, its characteristics and many more, the more Licht listened the more amazed he became, leaving him with the thought
' Just how far developed is this world to be able to come up with something like this! '.
Licht was becoming increasingly eager to discover new things in this world and he even decided to make this one of his goals to achieve.
" Here is your udon sir...please enjoy it before it gets cold ",
The waiter said in politely and bowed before leaving them, Licht broke out of his thought and stared at the udon noodles in front of him as if he was observing the ingredients.
The thick yet smooth-looking noodles with b.....
" AHHHHHHHHH ",
As Licht was observing, many screams could be heard at this time but they were quickly drowned out by a booming sound, shocking the people present in that area.
Licht immediately stopped paying attention to the noodles and shifted his gaze toward Kurayami. He had a faint guess related to this situation and it didn't take him a long time to confirm it.
" THE DEMONS ARE HERE! ",
As soon as someone screamed this word, everyone in the restaurant or in the area trembled with fear, some even ran as soon as they heard this voice.
" ho-how is this possible? aren't this area guarded by the government, how come...",
A middle age man said while trembling, he didn't even have strength to continue his words.
" Mom...",
A cute 5 years old baby hugged his mother as her entire body was shaking in fear, she quickly moved his gaze toward his son and patted his head saying "it's ok baby your mother is here ".
*thud...thud...thud...
People in the restaurant regain their senses and began to flee as quickly as they could.
The quiet and peaceful village, which is known as the " village of peace ", may have lost this title today.
" Licht...run as fast as you can and get away from here ",
Kurayami said in a worried tone before getting up from his seat. He hurriedly grabbed Licht's hand and pull him along as they came outside of the restaurant.
" But- ",
"No but, just do as I say ",
Licht wanted to say something as he immediately understands the meaning behind his word but Kurayami didn't let him continue as he interrupted him, this time his tone was more serious than before.
' sigh~guess there is no going after it ',
Licht thought and clenched his fist, remembering the time he spent with kurayami, though he has seen many deaths of his comrades but there was still a party of him, who was a little reluctant to let him die here.
Unfortunately for him, Kurayami has already made up his mind.
" Then please take care of yourself, oji~san ",
Licht said with some concern while looking at the firm and serious Kurayami.
" Don't worry your Oji-san isn't a weakling, I may be in the past but time has changed ",
saying this Kurayami patted Licht's head, turning around he took a few steps forward.
" if fate desire we will meet again... until then farewell, Licht ",
Kurayami said as he came to a halt and later jumped at the roof of the house next to the restaurant.
Standing on the rooftop of a wooden Japanese house, Kurayami closed his eyes for a while and when he opened it, there was a flash of anger inside it.
Breathing deeply, he spoke something and positioned his body in a launching state and then *boom...
At an inhuman speed, he launches himself in the direction of the demon, the launching force was strong enough to blast the roof where he was standing.
On the other side, Licht's eyes widened while watching this scene.
" what's up with that ridiculous speed? ".
