Chapter 5: Death

3rd Person's POV

Aki didn't bother anymore and he just stare at the window to watch the scenery in it.

Aki felt bored so he tried to sleep. Aki slept soundly that he didn't even know that there's something wrong with the carriage.

Mr. Ken tears off a layer of skin in his face and sighed with a relief. "You can come out now!" He shouted.

Then a girl who looked like 10 years old appeared out of nowhere.

"Kenneth, are you sure she is already asleep?" Said by a little girl.

Kenneth pated the little girls head and said, "Yes, mother is already asleep so activate the spell now Noel."

Noel nodded her head said, "Oh spirits of space heed my call, open a path for us to walk. [Gate]!"

Suddenly a purplish void opened at the road. The carriage starts to move into the void. After the whole carriage entered, the void suddenly disappeared with the carriage out of nowhere.

Then another carriage with the same appearance where Aki was riding, with the same horse and coach appeared.

"They're coming, ready your weapons." A man in black clothes said to his comrades.

When the carriage was on the target point, many man in black clothes appeared and circled around the carriage.

The coach and the horses was startled. The boy inside the carriage screamed because he fell down from his seat.

"Assassins!!!" The coach shouted in fear.

The assassins starts to attack the carriage. They killed the coach, the horses and the boy in the carriage. They saw the boy's face in the carriage and confirmed that it was their target from the painting they got from the palace.

They cut the head of the boy in the carriage and they put it into a sack then they burned the carriage with the dead bodies until it was turned to ashes and was blown by the wind.

The assassins left the crime scene and then they run back to the palace. They gave the bloodied sack to a guard and they waited for the guard to come back. The guard walked to a certain place and gave the sack to the man in charge.

The man in charge checked the thing in the sack and confirmed it. He let the guard back to his post with a pouch of gold coins and then he wrote a letter to Duke Fillia.

The guard came back with the pouch of gold and he gave it to the assassins when the assassins got their rewards they silently left the palace.

The carriage arrived at a certain forest which was 3 hours away from the Mepa Village. The carriage followed the dirt road path to the village.

It's already afternoon when the carriage arrived at the village. Its Fall Season which is time for harvesting crops, so the villagers are busy from harvesting their crops outside the village.

The villagers saw Aki's carriage. The villagers waved their hands at Kenneth and Noel. Children's with different races starts to run to the carriage and said welcome back to them.

Noel jumps down from the carriage to play with the children. Kenneth starts the carriage again and entered the village. He drive the carriage towards the back of the village, where the orphanage is.

The carriage entered the orphanage gate, and was greeted by ten people on the orphanage door.

"So mother is already there right?" A bulky man said.

"Yes, mission accomplished." Kenneth said with an OK sign.

"Now bring down the things from the carriage and arrange them in the room." A man with a glasses said.

A girl said, "I'm gonna carry mother to the room~!"

"Diana! STOP!" The people said at the same time.

They quarelled on who will carry Aki to the room. They played rock-paper-scissor to see who will carry Aki to the room.

Two people silently walked to the carriage door and carried Aki from the carriage to the room while the other people are not paying attention to the carriage.

After they played the game, the man with the glasses wins and then he walked to the carriage. Then he saw that nobody was on the carriage.

The man with glasses was filled with rage and looked at the people. He walked to the twins and then he punched them.

The twins became dolls then they turned into ashes. The man with glasses shouted, "GE! MI! NI! You two bastards!! I will punish you if I caught you two cheaters!!!" Then he runs to the mansion.

"Uh oh~ Leon was raged by the twins again~ hahaha!!" A woman said.

The people started to laugh at the man who was running inside the mansion. The people starts to go inside the mansion too.

On the Liryo Kingdom ~

The students who are summoned from the other world are training their skills in the training grounds with the princess and their trainers which are from the palace. It's their rest time so everyone was resting while others are eating.

Then suddenly, Duke Fillia arrived at the training grounds.

"Oh brave heroes, their is something that I need to tell you." Duke Fillia said, then the students stopped on what they're doing and listened to the duke.

"There's a news from the shadow guards that we sent to protect your friend. They encountered a raged beast on the way to the orphanage. Only the messenger bird left alive and all of them got wiped out. I'm sorry for your lost, brave heroes." Duke Fillia said then he bowed to the students.

The students were stunned at the news of Aki being killed. Some of them remembered all the things they did with Aki; outing, karaoke, and the babysitting club that Aki made for the kids that under the age 4 and below, the kids are the children or siblings of the students who doesn't have any guardians. Some of them had a crush with Aki, while others hated him because of his looks.

"Thank you for the news, Duke Fillia." Shigaraki Kana said.

"Then I will take my leave now brave heroes."

"Ok, take care Duke Fillia."

Duke Fillia left the training grounds.

"Hahaha! I didn't know that wimp will die so fast hahaha!! He's so weak! So now losers will die first hahaha!!!" Nagisaki Hiro said.

Fujiwara Shina clenched her fist and Kana saw that.

"This world is dangerous so we had to be strong now, so that there will be no one to die again." Kana said.

"Yes! Nee-san was right! Let's get strong and defeat the demon lords so that this world will be peaceful for us to live if we may can't come back to our world." Shigaraki Tono said.

Now students are motivated to get stronger because they didn't want to die. After their training in the whole afternoon, they took a bath and prepared for dinner. After dinner, some walked back to their rooms while the others roam around the

garden. While Fujiwara Shina is sobbing at her room because of the news of death of Aki.

Shina and Aki are both orphans from a certain orphanage in the earth. Shina is 11 years old when her parents and her little brother died from a car crash and only Shina survived from it, she was taken to an orphanage where she met Aki.

Shina is 10 months older than Aki, so Aki always called her onee-san. Shina treated Aki as his little brother, and she knows that Aki was more attracted to boys. Being a fujoshi, Shina supported Aki being gay and they kept it as a secret.

Shina didn't even got to say goodbye to Aki, because she was training at that time and her trainer didn't agree to her request of giving a goodbye to Aki.

Kana was walking towards to her room when she heard a sob from the room of Shina, She opened the door and saw Shina crying.

Kana walked towards Shina and patted her back, she comforted Shina, "It's ok, cry more, let out all of your tears but remember after you cry, be stronger so that Aki will be relieved. So that he will rest in peace."

Shina hugged Kana tight then she starts crying loudly. Some of her classmates heard her and came to her room to comfort her too. Shina's classmates knew that she and Aki are just like siblings and nothing more, and they knew that Shina was the one who was hurt the most because of this news. Shina cried until she sleeps then her classmates left. Kana didn't leave because she was hugged tight by Shina.

Then suddenly a knock came from the door.

"It's Hiro, can I come in?"
