While the flashback continues,
Kazuma lies on his bed, his eyes narrowed, his lips pursed, his eyes devoid of hope.
Kazuma is a sad person, as if he carries the weight of the world on his small shoulders.
We see a moment when the sheikh disciplines him, and this is what Kazuma remembers.
Kazuma: (blinking, arguing with himself)
Did I care too much about him?
Kazuma turns his body to the left.
Kazuma: (heavy breathing)
Is my way of caring really no different from cruelty?
Even the sound of a woman calling him.
Kazuma... Kazuma... Come here!
Kazuma closes his eyes for a moment, as if in contemplation...
Until the woman's voice returns
Your friend has come to see you
Kazuma opens his eyes, his spirit has returned... And life returned to him sweetly.
In the markets of the Tinma clan... where people fill the place with their conversations, giving the market spirit and making it alive...
Kazuma and Nitch walk together.
Nitch: (He began to speak incoherently.)
Kazuma, I'm sorry.
Kazuma:
Don't apologize. I'm the one who should apologize to you.
Kazuma and Nitch stopped walking.
Kazuma knelt on his right knee... and placed his hands on Nitch's shoulders.
Kazuma:
I know I was overly concerned about you.
Kazuma: (smiling gently)
Answer me honestly... How did you get sick?
Nitch: (turning his neck to the right)
Don't worry about it, Kazuma... but promise me one thing.
Kazuma raised his eyebrows.
Nitch:
Don't talk about it again... because there is no cure for my condition and I am going to die.
Kazuma: (clenching his left fist, with hope and confidence)
Don't talk like that. I'll go out and bring you a doctor!
Kazuma stands and points his right finger toward the west, toward the sky.
Kazuma: (smiling)
See that wall? We'll get out of there and be free.
The wall was made of metal, with a giant iron gate in the middle.
This wall surrounded the entire clan... ...isolating it from the rest of the world.
We hear a slight, malicious laugh.
We see Jin leaning his right leg against the wall... his hair messy...
Jin with narrow eyes.
Jane, with narrow eyes and a slight smile, her teeth almost showing.
Jane:
Brother, your dreams are really big... Nietzsche will die, there's no escaping it.
...and you won't get out of the wall.
Kazuma: (clenching his fists and shouting)
Brother, shut up... You're saying hurtful things.
Nitch, who was holding onto Kazuma's shirt, as if it were his last hope.
Jin:
Kazuma, accept the truth. Nitch is going to die.
Kazuma grabs Nitch's wrists and pulls them away.
Kazuma: (Calmly)
Brother, let's settle this.
He turns his neck toward Nitch.
Kazuma:
Stay away, Nitch, so you don't get hurt.
Jin:
Then we'll fight like we always do.
Narrator:
Kazuma and Jin were used to fighting to settle their scores... It's their tradition to settle their anger.
Jin:
Nitch, step back. You might see things beyond your years.
Kazuma steps forward with great confidence.
He tilts his lip to the right... while Jin stands proudly in front of him.
Kazuma:
Let's settle this.
Before he can finish his sentence,
Jin punches him in the chin, a powerful blow that almost knocks out his teeth.
Kazuma is thrown back... while everyone starts watching the fight.
The wind stirs up sand and makes people's clothes flutter.
Nitch raises his feet, ready to run.
Jin: (in a calm tone)
Don't even think about moving.
Nitch saw him trembling, his pupils moving from fear.
One of the people
The two sons of Bayro are fighting.
Jin steps forward with confident strides.
Kazuma gets up from his place, breathing deeply, his left eye closed and trembling.
Sticky black veins appear on Kazuma's palms, surrounding them.
Jane: (Widening his eyes and talking to himself)
What is this thing? Is it a curse?
Jane flies a few meters above the ground.
Jane:
This is an unprecedented incident... but it seems like a curse.
Nitch, who found the knife on the ground, quickly bent down and picked it up.
Jane extends his left fist, which is more dangerous than claws.
Meanwhile, Kazuma stands with his eyes closed, his left palm on his shoulder, breathing rapidly.
Jin:
You must learn to respect me.
Kazuma's pupils are empty, completely devoid of life...
...Kazuma's body falls to the ground as if gravity is pulling him down.
Narrator:
Jin suddenly realizes that Kazuma has lost consciousness, which makes him lose hope of attacking him.
Jin stops, contemplating Kazuma, who has already fallen to the ground.
Until we hear Nitch's threatening voice.
Stop, or I'll stab you with this knife.
Jin turns to find Nitch holding a knife in his hands, which are covered in purple.
Nitch:
If you don't back off, I'll kill you and free Kazuma from you.
Jin, with heavy and imposing steps... and Nech, despite the knife.
He takes a few steps back, his eyelashes trembling... and they move from their places out of sheer terror.
Jin:
Don't be afraid, be brave. Don't let fear kill you.
Jin's black aura surrounding his body... Jin pulls his right palm forward.
Jane:
Although I have not seen what lies outside the walls... I know that the world has no mercy for the weak like you.
Jane's eyes meet those of Nitch, and he sees purple on his arms.
Jane's eyes narrow... and he grits his teeth.
Jane:
I truly pity you... I pity someone like you.
Nitch: (Sweat pours from him.)
Don't underestimate me, because if you take one step closer, you'll find a knife in your stomach!
Jane looks at the people staring at him with fear and disgust.
Jane:
I'm going to take this idiot and leave.
And the chapter ends.
