Chapter 231: Fourth Child of Calamity

[Shibuya, Yoyogi, Japan]

Staring out unto the open skies, Kaido who seemed to be in grey distraught was currently standing among the piled up crowds in one of the events in Shibuya, Yoyogi

(Where am I?)

As his thoughts ask himself that question, the body instead proceeded to look towards the direction of the whole crowds

When he did what he saw was an apartment building that was on fire, for some reason the firefighters were having a hard time extinguishing the fire and there was a woman who seemed to be begging the firefighters to save her family

(What is this place? Where's everyone? Who are these people?)

At this question the he in turn looked towards the raging fire that cause his whole body to quiver in fear

(Why does looking at that fire seemed to affect me? Is my body shaking? Am I... . . Afraid?)

As soon as he realized this Kaido for some reason steeled his nerves as he bawled his fist and actively walked out of the crowd

Standing infront of the fire, he held his hand out and slowly controlled the fire as it's essence the flames started rampaging around and rushing towards the palm of his hands

Of course this action caused everyone to stare at him dumbfounded, but at the same time couldn't move at all

As soon as the tiny bits of fire headed towards kaido, the person himself who was now holding a red plasma with the full essence of fire attribute, slowly begun crushing it as he close his palm

Soon after that his heart begun to palpitate due to some reasons unknown as if he himself was afraid of something

But more than minute has passed and not one critism could be heard from the crowds nor any words from the firefighters

Soon after the family of the woman was retrieved, the first one who moved was the woman herself and immediately thanked him with all het heart which was followed by the rest of the family thus showing gratitude, with that the crowd begun cheering up for him as they were apparently amazed by his feat and we're actually singing praises of him

Seeing this made Kaido's heart and consciousness quiver for some reason, he couldn't understand what was even happening but he knows or more like his body and consciousness knows that this song of praises and gratitude that was directed at him even thought it's what he wanted, shouldn't happen at all

His body stood still in shock as he got surrounded by people in different shape and sizes with their eyes full of amazement, some were taking pictures, some where asking for his new and number, while some wanted to see his ability even more

Being surrounded by the people who liked Espers was like a paradise for both him and the other people

(This... This isn't so bad after all... . .)

Curious about this sudden new feeling that he was feeling, followed by the sudden interest of this different world that he was completely clueless about, made Kaido feel nostalgia from some reason

After that news about him spread out towards the media and was even put up into every news channel live due to his heroic feat

Soon after he begun to be the talk of the Town, as if he was a celebrity and all

When he goes to school, he noticed that the students that he normally ignored begun to talk to him especially the people who grew curious of Espers

At that his popularity suddenly shot up to the top as one of the famous people in the school, he even for some reason got himself qualified for the most handsome boy in school ranking at the third place

His friends were even teasing him cause of that, especially his girlfriend Ayame who in turn begun to be even more proud of him

"Life of being popular is hard right" she asked as she out her arms around him

"Totally" replied kaido

Seeing both of them flirting with each other, the trio of friends begun to scowl at him for being in a relationship

"Kuh! Don't think your that popular just because your in a relationship Kaido!" Stated Hiro

"Yeah what he said!" Followed up by Daichi

"Being in a relationship... I wish I could be in your position" said Kyouji as he begun to feel inferior in this type of circumstances

Seeing this Kaido seemed confused for some reason as he said

"But aren't you guys started becoming popular too just because your my friends?" He asked as he carrassed the arm that was wrapped around him

"Yeah! So cheer up guys!" Encouraged Ayame  as she gave them a thumbs up and a cheeky smile

At that the group of three friends begun to feel even more jealous now that both Kaido and Ayame felt more win sync together nowadays

"But it feels like were riding your shadow, isn't that approach to becoming popular seemed shameful?" Ask Daichi who was in turn followed up by the nodding of both Kyouji and Hiro

"Well... . . I don't see any problem with that at all" said Kaido as he leaned on Ayame's arm

With that Ayame begun to even more tighten her hold as she said

"And since your becoming popular, it will also be a fact that the competition among the girls will be tough, so I will try my best not to let go of you" she said cheekily

"I'm expecting that" he said

After that day and the days following that Kaido begun become even more popular not just in his place but to other places that somehow it was brought up by the government to place a law stating to protect his kind

Due to that law the facility in different places of the world that was holding a lot Espers illegally were being raised one by one by the government forces, followed up by the sudden stir of Pro-Espers and Anti- Espers faction in the government

Thus due to his actions, the world itself begun to change to the ideal place for the Espers themselves

Some regained their lives back while some who lost everything started to rehabilitate on the government facility for the Espers who's fate has almost been ruined to the brink of destruction

Years followed that were somehow flowed naturally like in a blink of an eye, Kaido who was still trying to learn his life this world anew begun to like it even more as it actually made him happier than never felt before

Everything was perfect for him, he graduated highschool, entered college, become even more popular, graduated college, become even more closer to Ayame and his friends including the new addition Noami, and even started to strive for livelihood on the current society

After these few years have passed by in an instant he became one of the reaserchers of one of the research facility that was researching Bio-mech and Bio-chemical as they try to see more through the dark matter and peer more inside of the plasmatic dimensionally space that was even more smaller than your smallest atom

He was living a stable life, in fact the world of Espers were living peacefully as the Espers begun to take a name into the society, some started a business while some became  a person on the government

One day he invited Ayame for a drink in a restaurant and was currently waiting for her

As he waited, the table right next to the table that he was occupying was then occupied by a woman who seemed to be nostalgic for him

As he stared at the woman, it was also by instinct that the woman stared at him

"You... . . By means you must be Kaido right?" Asks the woman

"Yes I am... . . And you are?" Asks Kaido

"Oh! How rude, I'm Haruka! Ayasaki, Haruka pleasure to meet you"

Upon hearing that his heart and consciousness begun to waver once more as if they were responding to some kind of a feeling that held in in his heart

(What's this? Why do I feel like this?)

At that for some reason tears begun falling from his eyes causing Haruka to be frantic

"Uwa! Why are you crying?" She asked

"Crying? No! I don't even know it myself... . . I'm weird huh?" He asked

"Not at all" she said happily

Soon a waiter came near her as he asked for her order

"Hmm... . . I think I'll have just a coffee, but not too sweet nor bitter, somewhere in between" said Haruka

"Alright!" Said the guy as he wrote it on a piece of paper

"You seemed diligent in working, what's your name?" Asks Haruka

"Me? Oh! Um... . . I'm Aaron"

Hearing that Kaido's heart and consciousness begun to waver once more as he slowly took a look at the face of the person who he just first met on this day

(First the woman now him? Who are this guy's? What are they to me?)

As he kept this questions to himself, Ayame somehow arrived just at that time and pulled Kaido away

Seeing that Kaido in turn bid Aaron and Haruka a farewell before leaving together with Ayame

As this was their date after a long time, they intend to spend more time together by doing stuff that focuses on each other like the park, shopping, and etc.

Spending half of their day together, they also decided to take a walk home together and since Kaido was an Esper and a powerful one at that, only a fool would dare to assault them along the way

Of course this cliche moment of being ganged up by thugs who took a liking to Ayame didn't disappear, but Kaido easily repelled them by showing his Esper powers

After that they continued their alone time together

Along the way to Ayame's home by the Ray of the sunset, Kaido adruptly stopped as he stared at Ayame fr eye to eye and steeled his resolve

After spending a lot of time together he felt like this was only the right thing to finally make her his own and so that no one could take

Of course Ayame was confused by his sudden reaction that she eventually urged him to say the words that he wanted to say

Unable to hold it in, Kaido finally asked the question

"Ayame Seijuro! Will you marry me?"

Of course caught up.in the moment Ayame begun to panic for a little while but after seeing Kaido's resolve, she eventually came up with her answer

"Yes... . . I do"

With that they were finally and officially became a couple that was meant to be wed

After that they told this news to their parents which later in turn became a preparation for the most awaited wedding until the day they were married

With them forming an oath infront of an altar, both Kaido and Ayame became newlyweds at the age of 28

After that they became a family and built a family of their own a family with four children in it two boys and two girls

After that as if perfect he lived his life together with their family as time passes by so quickly

Soon children graduated college, took on jobs, and made a family on their own, everything was perfect

Until finally one day it was the end of their road, Ayame was the first one to rest as she closed her eyes and said her goodbyes to everyone especially to Kaido whom she loved more than anything in this world and her children whole she cared for more than anything she cared about

This was a perfect family that she wanted

With a one last kiss from Kaido, Ayame finally died of old age of 70

Of course Kaido himself promised to follow her through for he too won't live long at his pure age of 71

At that the whole family cried for their loss as their children, including Kaido cried till night for the death of their lives ones

After the day of Ayame's burial, Kaido once again went up and appeared infront of her grave as he looked up unto the tombstone

******

Here lies Riruko, Ayame

******

After seeing this Kaido smiled just how perfect this world turned out to be, how this world felt like it was meant for him

In this world he felt no suffering or sadness at all, only happiness like the God's have made this world only for him

With that both the soul and body finally became one as his consciousness was finally able to use his body

After a deathly silence filled the place and letting a year fall down on his cheeks, Kaido finally resolved himself as he breaths out with a heavy intake and asked

"This is enough right? It's finally over" he said as he turned around only to see another version of him but at the age of teenage years

Soon after Kaido body itself suddenly morphed from an old man toma younger boy at the age of 19

"Just who are you?"
