"EH...."
"You were planning to take me to a place you don't know "
"Something like that...."
Danzai turns back to his abode
"Hey wait.... The thing is that I'm from Kyoto but I was sent to bring recruit from all round to Tokyo then I get paid. Let's go maybe one of them will know Tokyo"
Danzai exhales in disappointment at his future crew
"What's an embodiment"
"To cut it short, embodiments are beings that govern an aspect of life"
"oh...."
Danzai slowly walks away from them heading towards the market place
"Where to..."
"I want to greet my boss for the last time and collect my payment"
"That can wait though..."
"Heavens no....."
Danzai starts running and the man is left with no choice but to follow after him leaving the other boy behind
"You're a child Sakamoto"
The man stops upon hearing those words. He then turns back and walks to the boy
"Could you not say that loud next time?"
The boy drops his coat in the car and enters it
"Let him be... At least he agreed to tag along"
*Sigh*
"Fine"
Sakamoto sits on the car and waits for danzai to come. Meanwhile danzai was in his boss's restaurant trying to persuade his boss to let him go
"Boss..."
"Give me a reason why I should let you retire so early"
"I-i want to study...."
All the people in the restaurant looked at danzai in disbelief
"What kind of joke is that"
W-what... Am I that poor?
"Come on danzai...."
His boss started
"You barely have money to buy clothes and you want to now study?"
The people in the restaurant laugh after hearing those words which makes danzai a little down
"Boss, I've to—"
"Hey there..."
Danzai and his boss turn to see the person then danzai realises it was the boy from earlier
"You came...." Danzai said with a grin on his face
"Don't give me that...."
"Sir I've come to pick him up"
"To where,if I may ask..."
"Tokyo..."
At the mention of Tokyo,all the costumers stand up in shock at the boy's words
"T-to do what..."
"Study"
The atmosphere suddenly became tensed with people confused as to how danzai manged to pay the bill for Tokyo. Danzai removed his badge and gives it to his boss
"I'll visit you once in a while...."
Danzai and the boy walks out of the restaurant with his pay in hand feeling excited
"That statement you made about visiting your boss..... No you won't... Once you enter the school, you can't leave"
"What..."
"You'll understand when you get there"
"I never got your name"
"The name's Ai..."
"Nice to meet you Ai...."
Ai walks away without saying another word to danzai. Danzai follow him from behind until they get to the car where Sakamoto was waiting
"Finally... I thought you were not going to come back"
"Why would you think that..."
"You're the embodiment of emotions right?"
Ai shakes his head in disappointment
"Is there something wrong with your brain?, you're the embodiment of emotions "
"Oh right...."
They all get in the car and Sakamoto drives off
"Where to now..."
"Shibuya"
Danzai looked dazzled by the name of the place
"Where's that place.."
"Shut up and wait...."
***
After a while of driving, they finally arrived at the entrance to the city and observed an unusual occurrence of different types of land transporting vehicles park in front of the city with no single person in any of them. just then, a man and a woman come running out of the city with the man having bruises on his body and the woman breathing heavily. Sakamoto approached the man after stopping the car to ask about what had happened in the city
"What happened--"
The man interrupts him
"Run.... There's a monster in there..."
Saying those words, the man takes to his heels
Ai steps out of the car to meet Sakamoto with a grin on his face which Sakamoto understood immediately
"No...."
"Why..."
"We came here to do something else"
Ai turns back to the car and sits down as Sakamoto enters and drives into the city unfazed
***
Tokyo, Japan
At the top of a skyscraper
Three men are seen on the top with two of them sitting on a chair and one of them sitting at the edge of the building.the man on the edge starts a conversation with the others
"Do you think that reject will come?"
"Why not.... He's an embodiment after all"
One of the men sitting stands up and walks out after receiving a call
"I'll be back..."
"Sure..."
The man sitting on a chair asks a question
"Where's that bastard?"
"Huh?....oh hikaru?"
"..."
"He probably didn't reincarnate..."
"That's not possible.... He's an embodiment"
"True... what's the time now?"
"11:59"
The man sitting on the edge of the skyscraper stands up and looks down the building and smiles
"Wait... What do you want to do"
"An embodiment killer has come"
"What?"
"That incident won't repeat itself again"
Saying that,he jumps down gripping his katana and smiling
***
Sakamoto drives through the city and realises it is mostly silent with barely anybody around. Danzai begins to feel sleepy but Ai wakes him up
"Don't sleep punk..."
"My bad.... it's just that the atmosphere is boring"
"Let's play a game then... First person to blink dies..."
"Huh..."
"Begin"
They began to stare intently at each other eyes with danzai having an undisputed advantage over Ai
"Can't.... Blink.... Yet.."
Ai struggles to keep his eyes peeled as his eyes begin to tear up
Dammit I brought a game I can't even win
"I quit...."
Ai blinks his eyes releasing the tears gathered there. Just as Ai blinks,a huge monster swings his hand down at them to flatten the car and kill them in the process. Ai tries to unsheathe his blade but is a second too late
"What the..."
What the hell,I could have slashed this beast but i blinked making me a fraction too late..... Oh no
Before the others realized it was too late
"We're dead...."
Another voice answers
"Nope..."
