And we both laughed hard.
Then we began to walk and he punched me on my biceps.
I said:
> "Stop."
And he did it again — twice.
After that, I suddenly punched him,
but he actually dodged it.
But he was astonished by the pressure of my strength.
Then I said:
> "When I say stop,
it means either stop — or my fist."
He laughed.
And we were teleported to the Fairy Kingdom.
We walked to the queen straight.
Then the queen was waiting for us.
Everyone prepared a meal,
and all the fairies were waiting for the fun we must have.
Then Junpei walked in,
and everyone shouted,
"Happy Birthday!"
Okay, not everyone...
but yeah, well, at least the fairies did it.
---
Junpei:
"Is it your birthday?"
Pointing to me, he was shocked.
I said to him with a boring face:
"Idiot, it's for you."
Junpei:
"It ain't my birthday or anything."
He's confused.
I told him:
"Listen, you moron — you got reborn. You actually changed into a completely new person, so that's why the 'Happy 2nd Birthday.'"
Junpei:
"Yeah... thanks, you all. Let's eat!
Everyone, haven't gotten any proper food since I got into the forest.
Starving as hell."
Then I got to the queen and apologized for the mess.
---
Fairy Queen:
She said that I helped her a lot.
She said I was really doing a very interesting job.
Fairy Queen:
"Kurai, my son, are you planning to take Rajin back?"
---
Kurai:
"My queen, I..."
I bowed out of worrying.
She stopped me before I finished talking.
---
Fairy Queen:
"It's okay.
As long as no one gets hurt, I'm going to allow you on this.
He and Theo are not their usual selves."
---
I said to her:
"Your highness, Theo will be.
And if we need to let him go after saving Alistair's daughter,
I will fill his place by bringing a new member."
---
Fairy Queen:
"You know someone who can replace him?"
---
I was so confident about it.
"Yes, there is one amazing fella. You guys will love him.
And he's gonna help us a lot."
"But for now, we must let Rajin go.
The reason why he's here is to help with the Mecha army.
He is like a powerhouse.
But now we have Junpei...
So let's let him go."
---
Fairy Queen:
"I don't want anyone to be forced to do what they don't want to do.
As you want, Kurai — I already believe in you."
---
I said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Things went...
and we had a lot of fun that I forgot.
---
Almighty or Chaos seems unhappy,
no matter what ever happens.
Well, he might not be showing it.
Well, that's not a problem.
It's just that everyone cares about him.
He is mysterious.
Yet... hot, cool, and a bit bad-tempered,
and he looks like — strong — really strong.
Well, not only him.
Silencer didn't talk.
I never heard her talk, actually.
Maybe she usually doesn't talk.
---
We took a day off and just enjoyed our time.
Everyone is worried and scared
and some are traumatized
by their own past...
let alone fight a whole 8 kingdoms.
But it's okay.
I'm here to take it all simple.
I'm gonna make things easier for us.
And my plan is almost completed —
thanks to Junpei being this strong.
And as we all know...
Tomorrow is a new day.
---
Tomorrow Morning
---
Ironveil:
"So you think this much works?"
He said it with a doubting face.
---
Junpei:
"Nah, it will work out.
So anyway, you created the body."
Smiling but still scowling eyes.
---
Ironveil:
"Let's see your new power.
Know that inside — it's all empty."
He walked and sat on a sofa.
---
Junpei:
NEXIS...
---
System:
Number of the bodies: Roughly 200
Capability of REBOOT: 10,000
Success Rate: 99.9%
---
Junpei:
Winked and sai
d,
"System — REBOOT."
---
And then a straight line of holograms
formed — they all connected to the head of each of the robot bodies.
After that,
the robots each stood,
and they all got modified —
their bodies were just as I said: futuristic.
Then they all walked and lined up.
---
Ironveil:
"Haaaa…."
Screamed.
---
Vapor and Vortex came in as a breeze.
Then they saw the robots and said:
---
Vortex:
"Hey, you asshat — keep it down!"
Burst the door wide open and got in.
---
Vapor:
"Tell me that's a handicap!"
Shocked while watching the robots.
---
Junpei:
"Nah, it ain't, bro."
So confident and chill about it.
He already knows
he can make 10,000.
So he walked out —
the robots all stood straight.
Then he got back again and said:
"Let's have fun."
He opened a rap music
and chilled with the robots.
They actually did what he does.
Everyone was enjoying it.
---
After that we got to the best part —
I came and chilled with them.
But that's not the best part —
it's that they are gonna try and check how the robots fight.
So...
we just got ready to fight,
and I was one of the ones who's gonna try it.
---
Vapor said I will too.
We all got ready
And took it to the grass.
After we reached there,
Junpei
said, "NEXIS".
Then his system
got them all active.
But it wasn't as it seems—
It was actually more simple than it sounded.
The robots attack whoever he tells them to attack.
Junpei stood right before my face and said,
"Kill him," pointing to me.
Then one of the robots ran and came fast toward me,
and I stood my ground.
The moment the robot reached me,
I bent backwards—
The robot punched,
but it missed,
because I was leaning backward.
Then I bounced back forward,
but this time,
the robot attacked from the ground using its hand,
aiming for my legs.
But good thing—
the moment I bounced back,
I backflipped.
After that,
I faced the robot and used dragonic strength
and punched it.
Then it got blown away.
Junpei and Ironveil ran,
trying to eat me alive,
but all I did was punch them.
And that was part of the test as well.
Then Vapor came.
When the robot came charging,
he used his fog skill.
It's named:
Radiation Fog.
And the robot's body wasn't there anymore—
When we saw it,
it was already blown apart and had messed up the place.
Then Ironveil said,
> "What the f*ck is wrong with you people?!
What's wrong with y'all?!
What is it that made you destroy my beautiful robots?!"
While collecting it—
Junpei:
"Didn't you say it was garbage before I used my system…?"
With a cunning smile.
Vapor:
"That's why you care about it now—
Because you never even put effort into it."
Just being himself.
Then Vortex said,
"I wanna try it too."
We all agreed,
but he said,
"Nah bro, I won't hurt it,
just watch me do it."
Then he said,
"You garbage,
show me all what you got."
Then the robot ran,
coming to attack him—
But then Vortex used his wind magic
and grabbed it using the air,
and it smashed the robot.
Then he said,
> "Maybe I went a little too overboard."
Ironveil lost it, shouting,
> "You people are worthless!"
Junpei:
"Calm down, bro.
You need to learn to calm down."
He was sitting on the ground.
Junpei:
> "REBOOT."
While extending his hand.
Then the damaged parts
got back together as if they were made of brand-new metal—
Luminating.
The robot raised again
like nothing happened.
Then after that:
Vapor:
"Wait… you didn't know
it wasn't gonna be affected?"
"Well,
we knew.
That's why we smashed it."
Vortex
He actually realized it now.
They were faking it—
just for fun.
Then we went to eat food,
and did something like training and all,
because I'm gonna go to a kid I know.
He's kinda annoying,
but I need him.
He's gonna replace Rajin's place.
Guess we're gonna lose another member.
But who cares?
Like for real—
who does?
All I want is for Rajin
to see his new girlfriend he was about to date
and enjoy his time.
He will give Lyra a message for me.
I'll send her a letter.
And then I would call her.
If I can't,
it's because I can't get any signals here.
That's the problem,
but yeah.
I would be happy to see her,
or hear her words.
I miss her so much,
but I can't really meet her now.
Not to mention
she's being watched.
And I can't take her with me here.
It's not a place for me to bring
the ones I care about
and took care of.
This must be taken seriously.
