CH.294: The Cure For Fear.

( Yuuki's POV )

Yuuki: After what happened to your previous home, you think that hiding behind a new wall is going to solve something, you can't be that blind.

Kurusu: You bastard!

Ayame: I have to put people's safety as my priority.

Yuuki: True, that is the duty of a leader, but here it is just a pathetic excuse, your station would not have fallen if you had listened to us the first time we came, you guys wouldn't have left the station if it was for Ikoma, but you treat him like the enemy.

Ayame: That's-

Kurusu: Kabanes are the enemy, we can't let our guard down with them.

Yuuki: You don't even know what a kabanes is, It is normal to be afraid of the unknown, and a warrior has to stop threats, but what are you doing, Ayame?

Ayame: That's-

Yuuki: You must make the tough decisions and stand tall even when things get tough, and you haven't done any of that, you are a failure as a leader.

Kurusu: that's enough!

The guard was not at all happy with the way I was talking to his mistress, and he swung at me, but I stopped his katana, and Ayame had her head down in shame.

Yuuki: I am saying this to be mean, as my family has already said before, we are here to eliminate the Kabane problem, all the people we have cured are in a similar situation to those Kabaneris on your train, you can help us and be the first to bring the new world, or go your own way and risk the lives of your people.

I was waiting for the answer to what was my last attempt to form an alliance between us but before she spoke I heard screams of terror, I ran to the place of the ceremony where I heard the screams, and there I saw a woman transformed and the rest of the people completely terrified by a single kabane, but the Kabaneri girl ran straight towards her with two katana in hand, her intention was clearly to finish off the woman so the moment she used a jumping attack, I intervened.

In an instant, I appeared between the two women, I grabbed Mumei by her arm and threw her back to where she came from, everyone stared at me, but I ignored them and injected the cure into the woman, she quickly returned to normal, but with her skin now pale gray.

After seeing me heal the woman, the people present were still scared and the guards kept pointing their guns at us.

Yuuki: Look at yourselves, pointing your guns at a defenseless woman, while you step on each other to maintain this miserable life, do you really want to continue living that way, or do you want to change the world?

I told people what was on my mind while releasing a murderous aura to give them something to be truly scared of, people could not speak and others fell to their knees but a girl ran to help the woman I had cured, It seems that the woman was pregnant and the other girl was worried about her.

I took some onigiris from my storage and gave them to the girl.

Yuuki: She's going to need a break, give her this when she wakes up.

???: Thank you very much.

Ayame: We don't want to be scared but can you guarantee the safety of the innocent while changing the world as you say?

Ayame came closer, seeing what I was doing, and when I heard what she said, I knew she wanted to make a spectacle of this so the civilians would accept the change more easily.

Yuuki: That is the mission of my kingdom, to heal each and every Kabane and protect the people of this world.

Ayame: Then I will hold you to your word, for the sake of the people who cannot protect themselves.

Yuuki: Perfect, that's just how I want it.

*Snap*

I snapped my fingers and four hybrid gears descended on this spot, they were our escort and we turned around towards the station that they had given up for lost, there we made a plan for our next move but it was going to be Miu who would execute that plan, I had more duties to attend to.

We left Miu's original team and crossed the gate in Hekiga, our destination was the castle of the Babylon kingdom, and when we got there, we were welcomed by my personal maids.

Cecile: Welcome home master.

Yuuki: It's good to be back, Cecile could you send a message to the allied kingdoms? we need to have a meeting.

Cecile: Of course master.

Yuuki: Very well, for those of you who are here for the first time, you should choose one of the free rooms.

I had time before the meeting so I called Shera to have a walk around the city, I had promised her that I would show her around my kingdom long ago when we first met and during the time I was missing, the citizens of Babylon were worried so making a public appearance was necessary, Erica also wanted to come with us, which didn't bother Shera.

Momo: Sensei! You're back.

Before we could leave the castle two of my students Momo and Koneko appeared behind us, they must have run here when they heard the news that I was back, the young devils stayed in Babylon while I was recovering so this is the first time I've seen them in years, but I still remembered what happened on the beach before the battle at the temple of that god.

They joined us and we set out as a group on our walk through the kingdom of Babylon.
