Chapter 24

Akuma returned 5 minutes later. He killed Hana according to Taka's orders. Immediately, that guy knelt down and lowered his head as he arrived in front of his master.

"I erased the trace too."

Taka just stared at the demon in front of him while continuing to eat Raku's cake. Then, he gave a piece of cake to the devil.

"The cake is delicious. Eat it, and you're doing well."

"Yes sir."

"Where's Kitsune?"

"She's with Nue."

"Get her here."

Raku immediately stood up. Then shouted for Kitsune.

"Kitsune! Come here for a moment!"

That girl then immediately came over to Raku. In her right hand, she was still holding the brush. Apparently, she was painting.

"What's wrong, sis?"

She looked at Raku with curiosity in her eyes.

"You, can control the human body, right?"

Taka asked without turning around. Then, his eyes flashed as he finished speaking.

"Yes, I can. Why?"

"Enter the place where my family is trying to resurrect Hana. Use someone as your eye."

"Aah, that's easy. Just bring me the photo of the person you asked for. I can control it."

"Sounds easy. Okay, you can ask Yamato to give you what you need."

"Okay."

Soon, that girl disappeared. Dropping the brush she was holding on the floor. It annoyed Raku and frowned at the dirty floor because of the brush.

"Nara, can you come out?"

Taka spoke while staring at the black bracelet on his arm.

"I'm lazy. I want to be here."

"Aah, i see."

Taka then took off the bracelet and put it on the table. He glanced out the window a few moments later before disappearing in the blink of an eye.

*******

Taka stood in the air. Hovering, watching the whole city. Then, he moved his right hand. Lift it up. From his palm then a pitch black ball appeared and it grew bigger.

"If I destroy all of you, will they still resurrect Hana?"

The solid black round object then stopped growing. The ball then compacted into a small marble.

"You want to destroy this city?"

Yamato who was already behind Taka, asked his master. However, at the same time, he prepared to draw his sword. Help his master destroy the city.

"Yes, destroy them. But, do you think it's okay?"

"I don't really care. Well, because I'm coming with you. But, it would be different if Raku was here, not me."

"You're right, she's going to stop me from doing it."

"So, when are we going to start?"

Taka was silent for a moment. Looking up at the city below again. Then, the pitch black ball disappeared.

"What happened, sir?"

Yamato was surprised by what his master did.

"Not yet. I'll be waiting. Maybe, Kitsune will tell me good things."

"Aah, I understand. So, are you waiting for her? All right."

"You, do the same with other family members."

"Yes, of course, sir."

"And, I want to go around."

Taka descended slowly, landed in a small alley and then left the place.

"Aah, the world feels good sometimes. But, sad at the same time."

His eyes stared at the people passing by. He smiled for a moment and sighed slowly.

"Maybe, I really should learn and enjoy it at the same time. There are many things I don't know. Maybe, changing my perspective to someone else can make me understand."

"What did you say, sir?"

Nue, who had just come, intended to accompany Taka, asking. That girl immediately stood next to Taka and looked at the people.

"I want to know what's inside their heads. And how they live their lives. There are many extraordinary people who look weak on the outside. However, inside, they are very strong."

"There are many secrets about humans. Why are they so strong, and why they are different. All based on what they went through. And what is called grace from the moment they are born."

"Hmm, is that so?"

"Yes, they learn from experience, continue to improve. Change it, and update it. They also take advantage of the gifts they have. Although, there are those who use it for bad things."

"It stands to reason."

"Like you did, everything you've been through made you like this. You learn, and keep changing the mistakes you've made to make yourself better. And so on."

Taka was silent for a moment. And a few moments later, he walked away from Nue.

"Maybe I should learn not to make the same mistakes again."

"Yes, you must, sir."
