Chapter 05

The school gate is closed. Lesson time is almost over. And in front of the gate, a large man stood while carrying an iron pipe. He smiled while holding his hat. Then, he jumped over the gate.

When he managed to jump over the gate, his body shrunk. Become a teenager. He then walked towards the school area.

"Hehehehe ... It's been too long. I'm getting too excited."

The man laughed again as he walked faster. While in the middle yard of the school, he looked around. Then, he walked to the middle of the field.

"Sir, I'm coming."

Then, he knelt down. He looked at one of the classes. He knew, there was Taka.

*******

At the same time, Taka turned his head towards the field. When one of his classmates points out of the class while notifying the teacher if a child is outside the classroom during class time.

Taka immediately opened the window and jumped. No problem for him, even though his class is on the fifth floor. He immediately walked over to the man with a smiling face. He walked faster, and faster until he ran.

When he got close to the man, he clenched his fist and punched the man. However, the man managed to hold Taka's hand. Although, the land that he stepped on had to collapse.

******

Taka Apartments. Yamato and Ayakashi who were sleeping on the floor of the living room woke up. Then, look out the window. At the same time as Raku who was reading a book also looked out the window. They smiled and immediately stood up. Then, changing their form and leaving Taka's apartment.

******

Back to school. Taka pulled his hand. Then, hold it out again. Helps the man so he can stand straight.

"Long time no see, Akuma."

The man who was just mentioned by name then laughed. He looks so happy. And then bend his body.

"Welcome back, sir!"

"Yes, and apparently, Yamato and the others have also arrived. Come on, welcome them."

"Yes, of course, sir."

They then walked off the field. At that time, the teacher who was previously teaching in the Taka class ran towards Taka and Akuma. He looks angry while carrying a blackboard ruler.

"Hey! Stop! What are you doing? Want to be a thug? And you! New student! What the hell are you doing? Jumping from the 5th floor, huh!"

Akuma immediately got ready. He then twisted his steps towards the teacher. However, Taka held him back. Seeing Taka shake his head, Akuma immediately understood. And continue to follow Taka.

"Hey! Stop!"

The teacher continued screaming while running. His fat body made him slow when running. He was immediately exhausted before he reached Taka.

The three demons who lived in Taka's house finally arrived. They immediately surrounded Taka in their demonic form.

"Tsk! Long time no see, older brothers."

Akuma grinned while watching the smoke surrounding Taka.

"Ooh, Akuma. Have you come?"

Yamato then rested on Akuma's shoulder in the form of a snake.

"Yes, I just arrived."

"Ooh, then where is Nue? Is she not with you?"

"That stupid girl is busy now."

"Why?"

"She beat up the whole forest where we lived. Well, because of a small mistake, and everything went awry. Then, she got mad and beat them all up."

"Hahahahaha, good. I like that."

"Well, as long as she doesn't ruin everything."

"You're right. If that happens, Ouroboros's holder will come and seal her."

"Geez, that old jerk."

"But, he's Mr. Taka's friend, right? What can we do?"

Raku's words made Akuma and Yamato speechless. Then, they followed Taka to leave school.

"Do you know where Hana is?"

Taka's question immediately made the four demons fall silent and startled. They just looked at each other without saying a word.

"I think I feel it. He returned 16 years ago. So, I decided to get up two years ago to wait for her. Do you know where she is? I don't feel her anymore."

"Em, sir. Maybe, just not yet. But, we will help you."

Ayakashi immediately circled around Taka with his demonic form. Then, he showed a mirror.

"If something happens to her that makes h3r die, I have to wait even longer."

Taka then looked at the sky. The look in his eyes implies the meaning of a feeling of longing. He missed Hana, his fiance.

"How about this? He returned to where he was then. It would be dangerous if he was out of control!"

The panicked Raku immediately transformed into a human and approached Taka. However, Yamato, who had also changed his form, held him back. Yamato shook his head while holding Raku's hand tight.

"You guys can find it, right?"

Taka then turned his head, his sharp gaze made the four demons immediately kneel.

"Yes sir! We will look for her."

Akuma immediately answered. He was so scared, just like Yamato, Raku, and Ayakashi felt.

"Aah, almost a thousand. Or, already a thousand? I don't remember. I forgot how old I am. Aaah! I just want a calm."

Taka's expression returned to normal to make the atmosphere feel better. And, the four demons finally dared to stand up.

"Let's go to the old man's place."

"Yes sir!"

They then walked towards the place where Taka had tried to kill himself for thirty-four years without stopping.
