Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

The next morning, the sun says shines through the windows in Yui's house, it was a peaceful moment...

The birds chips noise was filling the entire Yui's quiet home rooms, it was extremely peaceful that day despite previous day event...well, thats what Yui thoughts that morning

In the guest room, it was compeletely dark except for a little small piece of light from Kouhei's portable console, and also, there was many scattered books on the floor

It turns out, Kouhei has been playing video games and reading for an entire night, the game's noises could be heard from Kouhei's console

"This game is too easy...ive beat this game 5 times already since last night..." mutter Kouhei

Hes still playing the game, hes in the final boss stage once again, if he beat this boss again, he will be officially beat the game 6 times in just one night

A minutes later...he beats the game once again...he sigh to himself, then, he stand up while still wrapped in his blanket and slowly goes to the door

When he opened the door, he goes to back of Yui's house

After arriving, he sees that Yui is currently cleaning the backyard and also the remaina of The Land Mafia's belongings, including the Leader's mecha

Kouhei greets Yui

"Oi! Yui! Morning!"

Then, Yui turn around and greets back him

"Ah, morning too, Kouhei, ive cleaned the mecha and take acre of those rifle"

Kouhei then thanked Yui for taking care of the weapons

"Ah, thanks Yui"

Then Yui replied

"No problem, Kouhei, you say we will need it for your plan, right?"

Then, Kouhei walks to the remains of The Land Mafia's belongings

"Yup, youre right, this may helped us very much in the process, very much i must say..."

Then, Yui finally finished her backyard, before then speaks to Kouhei again

"But, i have to tell you, that those weapons are the War-Era weaponary, the weaponary world has been growing since then"

Then, Yui began to listing the name of the weapons

"The mechanized rifle, the one that The Land Mafia brought the most, its an D-718 Rifle, a type of rifle that Androidus Race soldiers use in the war 7 years ago"

"Then...the mecha that the Leader use as his transportation, its Ark Model-2867, produced 27 years ago"

"But have been replaced by a newer model, Ark Model-2888, a model that developed after the war 7 years ago, but its still relevant to this date" Explains Yui

Kouhei nods as he absorbed the information that Yui explains to him

"Ah yeah, thank you, Yui, that will be an useful information"

Yui shakes her head before put her cleaning gears back in their place

"Its fine, im going to the Scrapyard to buy some new panel for the Ark, its been a bit rusted and potentially lowers its performance"

Kouhei then replies

"Okay then, stay safe, Yui"

Yui nods before finally heading out to go to a Scrapyard

Kouhei then looks up at the sky, the rays of the sun hits him in the face, he then mutters

"Its been so long since the last time i was showered with sunlight..." says Kouhei 

This is Nihingo, a world that he was forced to lived in from now on because of an unkwown purpose

He then decide to go for a walk around Takuyura's 

After a while of walking, he start to enters the outskirt of Takuyura City, the surroundings was familiar traditional, but at the same time, its was oddly unfamiliar

He have seen a pictures of Japan in the 70s and 80s, this surroundings is similar, but its totally diffrent

There is many diffrent race in the streets, the police in the streets are equiped with a small size mecha and mechanized rifle

Kouhei quickly realized how repressing the country is from one glance

He instantly suspected that Nihin, after lost the war 7 years ago, has been controlled by what ever the winner country that defeat Nihingo

Then, Puppet State Of Nihingo was established, but Kouhei knew that the puppet goverment is meaningless

But he knows, how much deeper it is than it seems

Kouhei knows how powerful mecha in every anime and manga, even a small one like the one that the police of Puppet State Of Nihingo have

Couldve easily qualified as an war machinery, but how does the police have it? Unless the police itself and the goverment are working together to make Nihin suffers

Suffering so much that...they will eventually begged whoever the country that puppeting their country to just fully taking control of the entire country...

Kouhei then noticed how many homeless people are there in the streets

Then he turns to another direction, spotting some police officers in a bar around 100 meters from Kouhei's position, drinking while laughing

"This country police is not the peoples protector, theyre peoples open-public enemy..." Thought Kouhei in his mind

Then, Kouhei swears under his breath

"I will freeds this country from this..."Shadow Colonialism"

Kouhei then decide to just walking back to Yui's home

But then...

As he was walking back, he spot a mixed race group of crowds

Out of curiousity, he decide to walk into the commotions to see whats happening

Then he found out that there was a chess match between a human and what seems to be an spirit, the human with white pieces and the Spirit with black pieces, he thought to himself

After analyzing in split second, he thought to himself

"How could this even an fair match?"

The human are extremely struggling in this match, his forehead are sweating, his eyes darting back and forth due to nervousness, his cloth are worn, almost like a slave or one of the poor people

Meanwhile, the spirit just smiled watching the human was extremely tensed, then, the Spirit speaks in her seductive tone

"Hey~, are you going to move atleast one piece of your soldier? I was waiting to eat them up right now~..." said the Spirit while licking her lips

The human was extremely nervous and Intimidated, then...he made a move, queen to f3, then...the Spirit lick her lips again, her voice was full of amusement from the man's decision, the man has made an mistake...

"Hm~, intresting...even though i dont know what youre thinking right now, i have to admit...youre an intresting one, doll~"

Then, black rook to from e7 to e1, eats the white rook in there, then...the white rook in d1 takes black rook in e7, then...black rook in e8, because it was a battery, takes white rook in e1

Then...the human realized the horibble truth, he just made an mistakes...an it was irreversable, in despair...his bishop in d2 takes black rook in e1....

And then...with a mischevious smiles, the spirit ends the game with queen takes bishop in e1 and...checkmate

The human face instantly turns horrified, then, the spirit stand up, her purple gown is flowing due the small wind, the human falls to the ground and pleads the spirit to have mercy on him

But then...the surroundings start to flow as the spirit spawns her Soul Sychte, the human are pleading more and more for her mercy, but then...

"Eh? Did you forget that you accepted his challange, that if you win, youre free from these stupid Beast peoples bastard, but, if you lose...your soul is mine..."

"Deal is a deal...human~"

Then, the spirit leans closer to the human ear's and whisper with seductive tone

"Now...rest, little human~" said the spirit as she licked the human's ear and...in one swift motion, she ripped the human's soul, the human's body instantly turned into dust

Then, the spirit shallows the spirit of the human, then she sigh in satisfactions, a horrified human souls seems to be her favorite

Kouhei was surprised to see the spirit's ability, but...what makes him was even more surprised is the fact that the spirit was extremely good in Chess

Hes been observing the spirit's skils in the match with the human from mid-game, and from his analysis of the game by calculates her move, strategy and tactics used in the match

He was able to make an conclusion that this spirit's chess skills are equalivient to an World Champion or even above, though he already can see the outcome immediatly in one glance as he watch the match, hes still surprised to see such level of chess skills in a street chess match, his face shows a surprised expression

But...then the spirit noticed Kouhei's surprised expressions, then she smirks with mallicious smile an she speak to Kouhei while aiming her sychte into him

"Hey, young boy, the one that his hair cover his faces, you looks intresting, how about if we play one match?"

Kouhei, upon hearing that, he was surprised that the spirit suddenly talking to him and challange him into a chess match

Then he put his finger in his chin and begin to tap his chin, thinking avout the offer, it was extremely risky, but then...he notices a necklace in the spirit's collar gown neck collar

It was rather have a good design, he was intrested on the necklace

Then, he agrees to play with her, and put up a bet with her

"On one condition..."

"I want to make an bet'

Upon hearing this, the spirit was amused and chuckles a little by Kouhei's word, then, she sigh and says that its fine if Kouhei want to make a bet, she will be more than pleasured to do it

Kouhei's eyes dart to the necklace in her gown, then...Kouhei says the bet he will propose to the spirit, his lips curled up into a small smile

"If i win, i got your necklace, if you win, you can kill me and take my soul away, how is that sounds?" Says Kouhei with confidence

The crowd are extremely shocked upon hearing this, this is extremely risky, if he win, he will only get the spirit's necklace's, but if he lose...he will die, everyone in the crowd start to whisper to each other

"Wait, is that boy serious?!"

"If he lost, he died, if he win, what he will even do with the necklace?"

"I mean, i have to admit, the necklace have a good design, but hes not even have an abilities since hes looks like just a normal human, just like us!"

"What is the boy even thinking?"

But, the spirit just smiled at Kouhei's proposal, she was now extremely amused by Kouhei, betting his life to get her necklace? Most people would say that they want her to be their partners or wife

She laughs loudly, automatically shutdown the crowd's whispers

This is the first time she get a proposal like this, then, in mallicious tone, she speaks again to Kouhei

"Eh? Intresting...okay then, fine, i accept it"

Then, the spirit extend her arms, wanting Kouhei to shakes her hand, without fear, Kouhei shakes the spirit's hand, the deal now is sealed...

Then...the spirit mutters under her breath

"Special Ability: Hell's Treaty"

A fire quickly surrounds Kouhei and the spirit, the crowd takes a step back, dodging the growing fire, the people around the location start to gathering around the circle of fire

"So, Hell's Treaty, right? The ability that allows you to able to seal a deal and forcing Hell and Devil into this deal, so none will able to betray it, arent it?" Says Kouhei to the spirit with intrigue expression

The spirit then laugh a bit at Kouhei, she was a bit surprised by Kouhei's knowledge, she doesnt expecting a human to have a vest knowledge like that

"Yeah, just to make sure you wouldnt try anything funny..."

Then, the spirit spawns a new set of chessboard full with its pieces, then, the spirit sits in one of the chairs, Kouhei sits facing towards her direction

The spirit then pull out the coin and flip it, when she catches it, it was a tail, so Kouhei is black and the spirit are white

Then, the spirit speaks to Kouhei

"So...shall we?" Says the spirit

Kouhei nods

"Mhm..."

"Lets start the game, whall we?"

Says both of them at the same time
