The next day, Komaru woke up early. He quickly showered and ate the breakfast.
After doing all this, he went outside his home to go to the Stupart station.
Since it was still 6:30 am, there wasn't much sunlight.
Grazinas was located above the Trapisar, which is the line dividing the planet Kroma into two equal halves.
With the sunrays falling directly on the trapisar, the countries located below it usually had more warmer seasons than the ones located above it.
The only exception to this is Fregern Empire, due to its unique location.
It is an island nation surrounded by the Margena Ocean. And the Margena Ocean has the Shiverer's Corpse, which makes the entire ocean become as cold as ice.
The only reason Fregern Empire did not turn into a land filled with glaciers is due to several heating Artifacts.
Komaru took a small walk until he reached his destination.
As he arrived, he wished the policemen and guards near the station before entering it.
Then, he went upto the desk where Ryota was sitting.
Ryota wore his usual uniform and had his legs on top of the table.
Komaru greeted him aswell, and Ryota greeted him back.
Should I ask him about Hailey? Hmm...I don't think asking him right now is a good decision. I think I'll ask him when I get the chance.
"Komaru, so for today, we will be going to Trunhes street for the investigation of Harry Young's 'murder'. If you have any questions, ask them now."
Komaru was a bit surprised, but he composed himself quickly and asked, "I thought his previous whereabouts were not known?"
"Yes, but my team ran a thorough investigation into his background and they found that long ago, he used to live in a Corken house with black walls located in Trunhes street. Not only that, but they also found that he has a son living there currently."
"Has his son been informed about his father's death yet?" asked Komaru.
"No, not yet. But we will inform him once we go there in person."
"What information do we have about his son?"
"Well, first of all, his son's name is Forgen Young, and he is 13 years old. He lives with his maternal grandmother. His mother passed away when he was only two years old."
"Dang, that's pretty rough, having to have both your parents die. Atleast his grandma is okay."
"His grandma is retarded and has dementia."
"..."
"Anyways, do you have any more questions?"
Fucking hell. Do I have to inform him and his retarded grandma about Harry's death? Will she even remember him? She does have dementia, after all. But still, to be both retarded and have dementia while having your son-in-law be killed, is pretty rough actually. Atleast her grandson is normal.
"Oh, I forgot to tell that Forgen Young does not have legs."
"Wha-"
"He only has 4 fingers in both his hands, and has suicidal tendencies due to being bullied by his friend Billy."
"Okay that is just too-"
"Oh and did I tell you that he once did a ritual corresponding to an unknown evil god and now is the target of the said god?"
Oh my fucking god! He just keeps on going, listing everything wrong. And why can't he say everything at once? Target of an evil god? Why don't you do me a favour and tell me that his blood is green too?
"Oh and his blood is yellow."
"Haaah...okay, lets just go meet him."
"Hah, I was just joking."
"Wha...phew, glad that he's not abnormal."
"His blood isn't actually yellow, its green."
"..."
"Okay, thats all. We will wait for Milena until she arrives. Have a seat."
Ryota then handed him a notebook and a pen.
"Write down every detail that I mentioned in this notebook."
Komaru took the notebook and pen from Ryota's hands.
Then, Komaru took a seat and started writing.
After some time, Milena arrived and entered through the main door.
"Good morning, Milena. Lets go to Trunhes street. Komaru, give her the notebook."
Komaru nodded and gave Milena the notebook.
Ryota said, "Milena, this notebook contains all the details about the investigation regarding Harry Young's past. Make sure to read it properly."
"Yes, thank you. Let's go, I have already prepared a car for us. Lets not waste any time."
Both Ryota and Komaru nodded, and they went outside.
They saw a red coloured Boronas car standing there.
They opened the car's door and sat there.
Komaru greeted the driver who was an old man with drooling eyes.
When all of them were seated properly, the driver started the car.
"How long will it take to reach Trunhes street?" asked Komaru.
Ryota replied, "It will take about 30 minutes. Trunhes street is pretty far from Stupart street."
In Matalop, there were a total of 12 streets, with Burmeg street being the first and Dorgar street being the last.
Usually, in Grazinas, every city had atleast 12 streets. The only exception was Cascane city which had 13 streets.
In the past, Cascane city also had 12 streets. But when Sir Fred Margow, who was the last descendent of the legendary Margow family died, the government added a new street named after him.
The driver started the car. The group followed by tightening their seatbelts.
"I still don't get why do we need seatbelts at all. We have superpowers in the form of Principal, but we still need to be safe from car accidents?" Komaru asked.
"Well, you see, although there are many people who have their own Principal, compared to the entire human population, the percentage is actually very less. Only 10% of the population has a Principal. Therefore, the rules for the majority are also applied to the minority. Though its a different case if you can just fly." Ryota replied.
"Only 10%? Even though every person can perform the ritual for gaining energy? Thats far less than I had thought." said Komaru.
"Not everyone can perform the ritual mate. If Caribela deems you unworthy of wielding the energy, you won't be able to perform the ritual. And that is something which is decided when you enter the world. But thats only about 50% of the population.
"The real reason why the people with Principals are so less is because a lot of people do not want to be involved in shit like this. They believe that there is a very high chance of being corrupted and exiting this world. So, they never perform the ritual."
Entering and exiting the world...what a strange choice of words
"Dang! So this is the reason why human race is the weakest out of the four races. Its because only 10% of humans are capable of fighting."
"Heh, if you had said this infront of Roosevelt he would have been very mad."
"Who's Roosevelt?"
"You will know who he is in the future. For now, just know that he is my dear friend."
Dear friend....
Hearing these words, for some unknown reason, Komaru felt a chill down his spine.
Fuck! What was that chill for? thought Komaru with a curious expression.
Curiousity...yes, I am merely curious about this Roosevelt guy. That can't be the reason why I felt that chill...maybe it's because of Roosevelt's Principal itself? Hah, what a stretch that is.
"About what you said, indeed, humanity as a race is the weakest among the five races." Ryota said with a smile.
"Five races? I thought it was four?" asked Komaru.
"I am counting the Entity race too."
"Entity race? I assume you are referring to the monsters?" asked Komaru again.
"Indeed. If we consider them another race, they are comfortably sitting at the top, the strongest."
Hearing this, Komaru showed a surprised look on his face and asked, "The strongest? You mean even stronger than the Gods?"
"Of course they are stronger than the God race too. The reason for this is because their are some Entities which can be considered some of the strongest beings in the universe."
"Strongest beings in the universe...wait, do they also have the ability to use Principals?"
"Fortunately, they do not. They are born with such strength. It's because of this reason that some of them can be killed. The top tier Entities are strong enough to rival even the Ancient deities.
"Let me think...as far as I remember, the strongest Entity is The Great Sin, while the strongest Ancient Deity is Primordial Being."
"Hold on a second. These Ancient Deities that you speak of are they also a separate race?"
"Nope. There are only 24 Ancient Deities, excluding the Great Balance of the Universe. Thats all that I know of. Oh, just to let you know, the Great Sin was an entity who used to stand motionless on the Seventh Moon of Ancient Elven Land.
"Rumour has it that "It" has died and only its corpse remains, which is still strong enough to make Artifacts descend upon the Elven World."
"Wait, then what about the four Celestial Stars? Do they belong to the Ancient Deities category aswell?"
"Ah...I don't have any information about them." Ryota gave an apologetic smile to Komaru.
Komaru felt another bit of energy rush towards the spot in his brain.
"Do you know what the dark spot in our brain is called?" Komaru asked.
"It is called Medula. It is named after the great scientist Goros Medula who died after fighting Dexter."
"Who's Dexter?"
Hearing Komaru's question, Milena gave Ryota a quick glance.
"Ah, can't tell you about him, just know that hes currently one of the stronger Gods." Ryota replied.
"So I am assuming that the Great Sin or the Primordial Being is the strongest beings of the universe? Or is it the Great Balance of the Universe?"
"Actually, its none of them. There are two beings stronger than everyone, and they both are equal, maybe one being a little stronger."
"I see. Im assuming you don't have any information about either of them?"
This time, Milena gave a small smirk, but quickly went back to being normal.
"Yes, I don't have any information about them." Ryota replied.
Ryota knows a lot. I can't be sure if this information is known to all or if only a select few knows about it. And what is it with Milena smirking? I feel suspicious of both of them.
Before long, the taxi had reached its destination.
