Chapter 42: Find and Eliminate Him

While Kurono walked back home with the four girls, he was wondering about one thing. In this time mission, his System Entities were absent. There are no mission that were given out. What happened?

"Hei, Freya, Dark, you guys there? What happened to giving out mission for each hunt?" Kurono called for his System Entities.

_Sorry host. Dark is still busy with his experiment...I mean he is still on vacation. As for Freya, she is too hardworking. So, I decided to let her rest for some times._

"Ah, is that so? Then,is there no mission from you Administrator?"

_Host, you haven't finished my current mission. So, no._

Kurono no longer asked anything. There is nothing he can do if the System Entities decided to not give him any mission.

_By the way host, I will also be busy with the work in the headquarter. So, tomorrow, there will be other Entities who will take over to oversee your System._

Kurono just nodded. He already was used to see his System Entities being replaced for a few times.

...

Early in the morning, Kurono woke up and wanted to stand up. However, a couple of hands were holding him, while somebody was sleeping on top of his body.

Kishimoto was laying on top of him, while Reika and Shinozaki was holding onto each of his hands.

"Why are they sleeping and holding onto to me? What happened to sleeping separately?" sighed Kurono.

Last night when they are about to sleep, the girls decided to take Kurono's bed, while they asked Kurono to sleep on the floor. They refrained him to sleep together with them. Now however, these girls seems to have crawled midnight and sleep with Kurono.

"Kishimoto, wake up. It's morning already."

"Mmnn..ah, oh. Huh!?"

Kishimoto wake up and suddenly realized that she is on top of Kurono's body. However, she didn't mind. "Morning Kei. I'm feeling a little sleepy. Can you let me lay down for a bit?"

Kishimoto smiled and was about to lay back on top of Kurono. However, Kurono knocked her head. "Get up. It's school time. We need prepare to head out."

After that, Kurono moved Kishimoto to the side, and stood up. Kishimoto pouted and said, "Stingy!"

Kurono just let her be, and headed downstairs. As he walked down, he was thinking about his and the girls living conditions.

"Sigh, the house is too small for all of us to live. I should buy a bigger house, so that we can live comfortably. However, right now I don't have the money to buy house." Kurono was speaking out his inner thought.

His living place is really small. Although it was two level, the upper level divided into his room, and bathroom. while the lower level divided into bathroom, the living room, and the kitchen. It's a little small for a five people to live in.

"Why don't you inherit my house then?"

Suddenly, Kurono heard a voice, and hurriedly looked over. He saw old man Suzuki and Nishi were having a breakfast. In the kitchen, Sakuraoka is busy preparing more breakfast.

"Old man Suzuki? Nishi? Why are you here early in the morning?" asked Kurono, surprised that these two suddenly appeared in his house.

"Those vampires are too persistent. They managed to find where I and Nishi staying temporarily. It's fortunate that we managed to run away by car." answered old man Suzuki. "We are sorry, but can you let us stay here for the time being?"

Although Kurono helped the two to regain their freedom, it looks like the trouble are still following them. Once more, they ended up here in Kurono's house.

Kurono didn't think much, and just agreed. "Sure. If you don't mind living in this small place. Anyway, it's also a bit more safe here."

"Thank you then." old man Suzuki was grateful that Kurono didn't hesitate to let them stay here. "Back to my offer before, if you want a bigger house, I can let you have mine. I'm already old anyway. So, it would be nice if someone can live in, and look after my house."

"Don't you have a son and grandson to inherit your house?"

"They have their own house to live. Anyway, just think of it as me paying you for giving me my freedom from the Gantz." replied the old man. "In two days, I will transfer the ownership of the house to you."

Kurono looked at the old man, and saw him being serious about giving his house to him. Kurono nodded and accepted the offer.

"If you needed money, I can help you generate some through online activities." offered Nishi. "As a rental fee for me to stay at your house, I can help you set up you online monetary account. After that, I can teach you how to generate money online."

"So, you are good with IT, huh. How much do you earn per month?"

"At least I can get up to 100,000 yen per month. I can get more if I really wanted to."

Kurono looked at Nishi, not really believing his words.

"What? You don't believe me?" Nishi frowned when he saw the sceptical look in Kurono's eyes. "I'm living alone, you know. My parents didn't survive the first time we entered Gantz. So, I survived by earning money online."

This is the first time Kurono heard about Nishi's background. So, he was surprised that this middle schooler can live on his own. It make him feel ashamed for himself. He is older then Nishi, but still struggling on earning money.

Kurono then said, "Well, I will y glad to accept your help."

"Enough talking. Here, eat your breakfast." said Sakuraoka, placing the food in front of Kurono. Kurono then ate his food.

...

In Kurono's classroom, he and Shinozaki came a little early, and so, they needed to wait sometimes before the class start. The two chatted while waiting.

"Hei Kurono, I will be going home after school."

"You mean, going back at my place?"

"No. I mean back to my parent's house." corrected Shinozaki. "So, can you go back with me?"

"Going to your house? Will your parents allow for a boy to follow you back?"

"Of course. My parents are very open minded about me having a boyfriend." said Shinozaki. "I told them about you. So, they said to bring you back, and let them see you first."

"Meeting your parents huh. Okay, let's go to your house after school." nodded Kurono. "Let me inform Sei and the others then. In case she ask where I'm going to."

"Actually, that's not necessary." Shinozaki stopped him. "Last night, we already talked about this. We want you to visit our houses. So, I'm the first to have you visit my place."

Last night, the girls decided the visiting order by rock-paper-scissors order. It then decided with the order from Shinozaki, Kishimoto, Reika, and then to Sakuraoka.

"I see. Then, let me visit your house."

At this time, the teacher came in. "Good morning everyone. Now please be silence. I have an announcement for you all."

The student then stopped chatting, and the class turned silence.

"Today, we have a transfer student coming into this class." said the teacher. He then gestured for the transfer student to come in. "Come in, and introduce yourself."

The student came in and introduced herself. "Hello everyone, I'm Kei Kishimoto. Nice meet you."

Seeing her in their class shocked both Kurono and Shinozaki. Why is she suddenly here?

The silence in the class turned into an uproar. This is especially for those male students. Kishimoto was a beautiful girl, with a big bust. Her body appearance caused the male students to fall into heated chatters.

"Woah! It's a beautiful girl transfer student!"

"Look at her chest. That must be an F cup sizes."

"She is a bit short, but her body is really a killer. Does he have any boyfriend?"

"Hei Kishimoto, do you have a boyfriend?" some daring boy directly asked the question.

Kishimoto smiled, and glanced at Kurono at the back. "I already have a boyfriend."

Instantly, the heart of several male students broke like a glass.

"Dammit. She is already got taken by someone else. Who is that lucky bastard?"

"It must be her previous classmates."

"I don't think so. The guy must be someone from this school. That must be the reason she transferred here."

"Do you think the guy is Kei Kurono? He got the same name as her."

"Impossible. He is not that incredible, right?"

Everyone looked at Kurono, causing him to feel sweat falling down on his head. How did they managed to reach to that conclusion?

"Alright Kishimoto. You can take a sit on that empty seat."

Coincidentally, the empty seat was located on the other side of Kurono. Now, he is sitting in between Shinozaki and Kishimoto. Most of the male students feel jealous of him.

"This seat is better. Now, I can sit beside you, right Kurono?" said Kishimoto, smiling sweetly at Kurono.

On the other side of Kurono, Shinozaki looked at Kishimoto, and said, "I didn't know that you wanted to transfer here."

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you guys beforehand. So, let's become a good classmates, shall we?"

"That's good too. Now, we can go home together." said Kurono.

"Kurono, you seems to know her well." the student at the side was surprised that Kurono was talking to Kishimoto like talking to a usual friend.

Kishimoto smiled when she saw the students. She said, "I'm his girlfriend."

"Nooo!!!" All male students.

...

After the school ended, Kishimoto decided to go back to her house, while Kurono accompanied Shinozaki to go back to her house.

To go to her house, the two needed to take the train. Kurono suggested that they just fly with Kurono's ability. Shinozaki was tempted with the idea. However, she still decided to go by land, just to show him the way to her house.

Inside the train, the two sat close to each other, and chatted happily.

"So, other than your parents, do you have anyone staying in your house? For instance, your siblings...by the way, do you have any siblings?"

"I have a little brother. He is twelve years old this year. How about you?"

"I got an overgrown little brother. He is a year younger than me, but looked like someone in his twentieth. He is smart and always have a good achievement academically. My parents always praises him, and somehow no longer care about me." Kurono talked about the family of the original Kurono, and not his family from his previous life.

"So, do you feel inferior to your brother?"

"Not in the least. It doesn't matter how people looked at me. What matters is that I've done the best for myself."

Shinozaki nodded, agreeing to his words.

Skreee!!! Bang!!!

At the far front of the train, the train operator saw some mountain of cars were erected, and blocked the railway. The train operator hurriedly pulled the brake to slow down, possibly stopping the train.

The sudden deceleration of the train troubled many passengers inside. Many of them fall from their seats, knocked on the floor, and there are also the unfortunate ones, who got injured, or knocked unconscious.

"Aahh!!"

Shinozaki almost fall on the floor, but was saved by Kurono. He hold her close to him and used the psychic powers as a seatbelt to hold them in their seats.

Tang!!

The train crashed on to that mountain of cars, and finally stopped in it's track.

Not far in the outside, a group of men in a black suit watched the train rush and smashed into the mountains of cars.

"Go. The target are inside this train. Find him, and eliminate him as soon as possible."

As the one leading the group give out the command, all of the black suited men rushed down, and headed speedily towards the train.

The leader stood at his location, and looked once more at the picture that the other team sent to him. The one in the picture was Kei Kurono.
