Chapter 5 - Kotetsujou No Kabenari Chapter 5 

"Such misfortune"

If this is something like anime, one of the protagonists that he remembers seeing will say that at this time.

Yeah, it really is such a misfortune. *Glancing to the side of the wall of his hiding *

Oooo…. Oooo…

A creature with two legs moving slowly along the road that leads to the place outside of the village. The shape of this creature is the same as the human except for the fact that at the chest of a creature there is an orange light with the shape of the heart.

Not only because of the light coming from the chest, even the light coming from their eyes looks frightened of him. Normal humans have eyes that absorb the light from the surrounding and then this will change their wavelength upon contact with the eyes into black and white color. When it reaches the brain, this wavelength will be interpreted and processed by the brain into becoming the color that eyes capture.

Even though most of the light is captured into the eyes, there is no way that normal human eyes will reflect light. Only animal eyes can do that. But this creature that has the shape of the human has eyes that emit an orange light the same as the light coming from their heart.

Looking at the creature, Kabane, walking and wobbling like a baby along the road really makes Nasrul feel uncomfortable. At least, when a baby walks like that it will be really funny but when a creature like this walks like that, there is only one word that fits it. Terrifying.

oughhh…

Thud!

This village is in the middle of nowhere. A place where silence became the norm. The village where no living being is here. Occasionally, Nasrul will hear the sound of the wind coming from all over the place.

With the village in ruin and no loud sound emitted by the living creature, the wind that swept from outside past the village that Nasrul staying in right now. When this sound passes the opening between the house and the hole, it causes the result effect of a sound produced from it.

Whether it came from inside the house or outside the house or a plank that broke off, as long as the wind passes and enough vibration is reached. The sound of the wind can be heard from it.

Waiting for them to pass by.

...

It really is…

Walking along the road while following the direction of the road that it led to, Nasrul walked forward.

After the Kabane walk passed him and left from the place that he was hiding, he walked out and felt relief. He does not understand how to face this fear and... now. He know. Then, he looked toward the sky.

He know. The reason.

The reason that most people in that story is a coward. When you were put face to face against that kind of monstrous entity, how can you stay calm and relax.

"Damn, I really admire the protagonist in the stories. How can they be fearless."

The word that came out from his mouth, Nasrul felt weird when he uttered it. Something not quite right with that sentence but he does not understand where it came from.

Pushing the thought aside for a while before he becomes lost in thought, he stops it. Right now the place where he stands and walks is not a good place to lose yourself in thinking.

Sound. Smell. Danger.

All of this is not something you can put aside.

"This place really does not have anyone living in it." No matter how he sees it, there is not even a sound coming from the surrounding that can alert a person that there is another human nearby.

While walking toward the direction of the road that leads him, occasionally Nasrul will stop when he finds an intact house.

Thud! Thud!

He knocks the door loudly with the sound that can be said that whoever is inside the house will hear him and know that someone is at the door.

Pushing his ear toward the door, he tried to hear whether any sound was coming from the inside.

5 second.

10 second.

30 second.

Creak!

Opening the door slowly and crouching lowly on the floor, he pushes the door with his right hand. The sound of the door gave the answer that the condition of this place was poor. Not only that, it also tells that this house has been abandoned for a long time.

Well, the dust on the floor and furniture give the answer when there is a lot of dust accumulating there.

It looks like there is no Kabane present in the house. He then stands upright and looks around the house. Inspecting whether there are any items that can be useful.

The house contains only simple furniture. There is a chair and table at the side and there also seems to be a simple bed. Nasrul then walks toward the bed and touches it.

"This bed! What material is it made of? This is really soft. It looks like my knowledge on the technologies is really low but from the looks of it, it seems like their technologies are really skewed"

There at the side of the bed were a simple drawer placed beside the top of the bed, a picture. There is a picture on top of it.

When there is a picture, there must be a camera. Although the picture only contains black and white, the detail can still be captured by it.
