Coming Back To Lover's Place

The noise of rushing steps from the left side of the tunnel echoed into The Flaming Hero's hearings, convincing him to raise his glance. Although Sparror felt both of his legs constantly trembling and the racing heartbeat going faster with him strengthening the grip on his armored chest, an unruffled still gushed through his mind.

Sparror gazed at his beaten opponent one more time and let out a burst of a joyful jiggle from his shaking lung. Glimmering feelings of contentment and excitement sprightly embarked within him as he raised his gaze at the sky and began to unfold a look of elatedness, washing away all of the traces of the enraged mood.

The crimson armor of Sparror began to flicker like a dying light alongside his gleaming eyes the longer he stood and perceived his gaze at the view of the above interior. A blurry view speedily clouded through The Flaming Hero's eyes, enduring the numbing pain within his head as he folded his forehead with his palm.

Gnawing exhaustion lingered into the course of The Flaming Hero's veins with him tightening his holding grip, especially with he kept feeling his shaking limbs becoming numb. A cheery contorted giggle was let out by Sparror and he smoothly steered his glance at the train with the rushing steps getting louder to ring at his ears.

Citizens who were nearby the windows and watched the heroes could only drop their jaws of amazement and overflowing gratefulness as their bodies halfly shaking. Watching the citizens broadcasting their gratitudes toward The Flaming Hero brought a placid wing into his lung with him releasing a contorted puff and assuredly bowed his head.

A glittering blood-red twister ascended beneath The Flaming Hero's feet and completely devoured his lower limbs, preparing himself for convivial departure toward the citizens. He initiated a waving hand of goodbye and cheerfully tilted his head with the swarming twister arising its extension.

The citizens also waved their hands back at their savior and even shared their cheering smiles, ensuring their feeling of safety. Afterward, The Flaming Hero rested his waving hand and gazed down his gleaming stare at the tunnel floor below, collecting every essence of joy and serenity with his success on both ending the threat. Some of the citizens who were inside the train also retrieved their waving hands such as the schoolboy, obtaining a clearer view of directly watching the departure of a hero.

The blood-red twister eventually devoured Sparror's entire body without leaving physical traces of his. Then, the blazing twister commenced its last whirling spin to the right and faded out from the naked eye in less than a second, letting The Flaming Hero respawn himself into his chosen resting place.

At the same time, the rushing armored officer who was revealed to be the cause of the noise halted their steps when their leader in the middle gestured his grip upward. The leading officer glanced down his stare at the beaten criminal, Granlork who still fell into a deep unconscious state with all his limbs and hadn't made any motions.

"Is that, the human form of the armored guy that Sparror's face, right?" An armored officer on the left side of the leading officers asked with a curious tone, raising closer his glance toward the criminal.

The leading officer reluctantly nodded and uttered, "Possibly"

"Now initiate the checkup and scanning process!" The leading officer blurted out a blunt command to his entire subordinate as he retreated his raising fist away.

Therefore, all of the officers immediately sprinted throughout the area, scattering in groups as some of them checked the train and the other side of the tunnel. While the leading officer ducked his feet in order to glance a closer look at the beaten Granlork, convincing the officer to let out a sigh of relief with the threat kept terrorizing Neo Tokyo was put to rest.

"Wherever you are, Sparror, thank you again for saving the entire city," The officer muttered thankfully.

Inside the empty room that belonged to Yuna's rented house, a blood-red glittering twister emerged beside the bed seat. The twister instantly disseminated into a speck of dust fleeing away from the room, unveiling The Flaming Hero kept his trembling stand and glossed over at the bed sheet.

A sheepish chuckle was shakily freed from Sparror's throat as he tilted his head back and forth at the bed sheet, holding his grip on his beating chest. Regardless, The Flaming Hero forced his stammering legs to take one step closer to the bed and slowly bent down both exhausted knees.

'It's…time to rest again,' Sparror murmured through his mind in blessedness, allowing his knees to touch the soft bed sheet.

The whole armored surface of The Flaming Hero finally dusted away from his naked eyes of him falling his worn-out body on the bedsheet. The human form, Hatoshi Akarui was once again brought into reality with him on the brink of falling into a slumbering mood through his sleepy eyes.

A sudden sound of a soft giggle resembling his close partner emerged into the very depth of Hatoshi's mind and went louder with him slowly closing his tiresome eyes, As he succumbed to the bone-tired slumber, the schoolboy embraced both tranquility and the hushed atmosphere flowing across the room.

At last, The Blazing Hero of Neo Tokyo could have his placid rest once again after the long and chaotic duel with Granlork. A rest that left

'Yuna, I'm finally back and I'm just going to take a little nap first,' Hatoshi uttered blissfully through his mind and continued, 'Sorry, I was worn out.'

'Today's battle was one of the most hectic and frightening things that ever happened in my life,' Hatoshi added, resuming the smooth flow of his mind mumbling especially with all of his limbs resting on the bed, 'Even more terrifying than The Distrunian and maybe…The Phantom…I guess,'

'At the same time….it brought me another new and important lesson as a hero,' Hatoshi continued, 'A lesson that I hope…it will be valuable in the future and I'm…very…very gladful to earn it,'

Around two hours passed, a glimmer of white light vastly shone throughout the void black room. The essence of the light expeditiously eradicated every trace of the black room available on the spot and opened the getaway into the current reality. It also resonated with the sound of a dulcet voice calling out a name, "Hatoshi"

With the name-calling voice went louder every rapid second, the glimmering white light instantly fading out. The disappearance of the light opened the current view for Hatoshi himself, awakening him from his slumber.

The voice called out his name was stopped when the schoolboy slowly got up his upper body and rubbed the back of his head. Hatoshi quickly shook his head and exhaled the burdensome air away from lingering in his throat before he immediately decided to steer his glance onto the right.

Surprised, jaunty eyebrows were raised altogether as Hatoshi's fixated sight saw a familiar person who had been awaiting his eventual return. The person was none other than, Yuna who now wore a blank pink t-shirt and short house pants revealing her yearning stare toward the schoolboy.

Without any haste, Yuna got up her feet from her seating position and took another seat beside her close partner's resting legs. She swallowed a large gulp of saliva, maintaining herself from exposing her cry directly at the schoolboy who could only let out a burst of sheepish jiggle.

Yuna briskly extended both of her arms with her heading closer toward her close partner, declaring the contented celebration of his return. While Hatoshi calmly nodded his head as the schoolgirl completely wrapped around his back with her hugging arms, gently tightening them and placing her head on his left shoulder.

The gentle hug from his close partner lured Hatoshi to elevate both of his arms to hug her back too and breathed out a comforted gasp from his mouth. A line of tears dropped from the schoolboy's eyes with him embracing the serenity with Yuna, closing his eyes briefly and widening his gladful smile.

Then, the high schoolers departed their hugging arms at the same time and closely traded their gleeful stare with one another. Giggling and chortling were all presented throughout the serene time between the two high schoolers the longer their persistently locked eyes with each other.

Yuna stroked her close partner's right chin, blithely extending her yearning grin and eagerly landing her palm onto one of his hands resting on the bedsheet. As he felt his other hand tightly held by the schoolgirl, Hatoshi placed his other hand on the shoulder and slowly pushed his forehead, attempting to extend the time for soothing condolence with his closer partner.

Hence, both high schoolers embraced their condolence with them gently placing their forehead onto one another. The giggly burst of laughter from the high schoolers filled out the room, reuniting once again at last after the dreaded encounter with The Blazing Hero's enemy on the dawn.

Another few minutes has passed, the condolence and serenity of the high schoolers finally reached its end. Both Hatoshi and his close partner, Yuna took their balmy seat on the bed sheet and stretched their legs in order to grasp a more placid mood for the resting time with each other.

They even held their resting hands together and calmly leaned their restful head on the wall, darting their glances at the front view. A hefty sigh was let out from Hatoshi's throat, attracting his close partner to switch her intrigued glance at him and widened her welcoming smirk.

"How did you feel right now?" Yuna asked keenly, releasing a brief cheerful giggle as she watched the schoolboy lock his soothed expression at her too.

Hatoshi chortled and stated, "I'm…felt…maybe gladful and very happy at the same time."

"I saved the entire city from this…terrifying and a quite powerful enemy too," Hatoshi said, raising a blithesome confidence through his voice and resuming the placid flow of his statement, "Yes…I fought that Morphion guy almost the entire morning, nonstop, I guess, hehe."

Yuna hummed, "Very tiring to hear that,"

"I'm really glad and proud of you at the same time," The schoolgirl confessed happily, closing her blissful eyes briefly, "Not only you returned safely, you also defeated the criminal and put an end to his threat."

"The whole people in this city really appreciate and are even very grateful toward your action as their hero." Yuna let out a relieving reminder toward her close partner, letting him to shake his head and exhaled a hefty puff from his lung.

Hatoshi chuckled, "Well…thanks"

"To be honest….I could be that kind of hero because of you, Yuna," Hatoshi confessed with glimmering confidence flowing through the course of his veins, allowing him to sharpen his keened stare at his sheepish close partner.

"Deep down, my important priority is just for the sake of your safety, Yuna," Hatoshi admitted, bowing his head shortly and continuing the flow of his confession, "Yes it might sound selfish reason, but I always try my best on balancing it,"

Yuna eagerly extended her gleeful smile and tightened her holding arm as she uttered, "From what I see right now, you already did it, Hatoshi."

"Thank you for your compliment, Yuna," Hatoshi replied with a thankful tone, folding his chest with his palm as he felt his heart racing in comforting joyfulness.

A shimmering realization within Hatoshi's mind would soon he heaved both of his eyebrows and bent up his neck. Hence, the topic of conversation changed with the schoolboy clearing his throat first before he broadcasted the realization to his close partner who tilted her head in slight curiosity.

"Anyway, did you already tell Aunt Chisato or Uncle Sasaki that I come back here?" Hatoshi asked with half concern ordering him to bite his lips shortly.

"Already did, Hatoshi. They would come on here around possibly two or three minutes later," Yuna answered with a placated tone.

Hatoshi nodded in relief and said, "Glad to hear that,"
