Peace and quiet

"The dead world is so strange in a way, it is mostly quiet and peaceful at least it used to be. When I first got here, I was amazed by the peace and quiet this place has to offer, but soon it was all destroyed."

Mama Emi explained to yoshi,

"Why" he asked curious

"See my boy, there's a rule. This world isn't limited some people do not like peace, good things irritate their soul. so, they started looking for ways to destroy the beauty of the dead world."

"i see" the young man said nodding his head slowly

"Most do not know it but we all have a purpose here"

yoshi doesn't understand what she means, so he repeated her words

"we, purpose"

"yes child. we do, the affairs of this world is ours to be taken care of. We are the lucky and unlucky ones after all. Now it is up to you to find your purpose"

Yoshi stopped walking and watched the woman continue her journey inside her chambers. she waved her hands at him with a big smile on her face, the prince returned the gesture smiling before turning back. He was uncomfortable in his own body, he couldn't stop thinking about what the old woman said.

He decides to visit the coffee shop to see sari once again before he goes back to the farm. He saw her packing up and decided to help her.

"i thought you were on your way home" the young woman said

"i was,, but then I changed my mind"

"oh i see, Why" she asked

"i don't know. It is scary sometimes, the sudden change and um i kind of miss home so"

"Wataru said you are royalty, that's the reason we bow a little when we see you."

Yoshi scoffed, remembering a trader calling him your highness. He thought he could catch a break now that he's dead but no.

"I am or at least i used to be" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice

"How did you end up here? Pardon my curiosity"

"Well, if you must know i died in battle"

"ah" sari gasps placing a hand on her mouth

"What are you doing" yoshi asked her confused by her reaction

"Feeling sorry what else"

"It's nothing really" the prince said

"It is something, but how I thought you are a very good swordsman, showcased skills in the marketplace. So how did you die."

"Being a good swordsman has nothing do with it, I was stabbed from the back. I had no idea when i was attacked, i was busy fighting i forgot to watch my back and before i knew it, I was pronounced dead."

"I am so sorry to hear that"

"So do you miss them your families" he asked sari

" I do who doesn't,, but you know i feel like they are better without me"

"Why would you say that, anyone would be lucky to know you or have you as their relative.

"Right" sari smiled " I'm not exactly the most pleasant person to them"

"How'd you know"

"It's getting late and that is going to be a story for another day."

"I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Really, you're going to come around just to hear the whole story"

"Hm hm" the young man nodded

"Bye" sari waved

"see you soon"

"And then he attacked us" hiroto narrated to his boss about the events that happen in the market.

Yula seem quite uninterested in his sob story he didn't hide his disgust for the men in front of him he kissed his index metal finger tapping on the wooden table with it.

" i don't need to hear your bull crap, if you can't handle an ordinary man in the market that proves how useless you guys are" he said admiring his nails.

"No sir he isn't ordinary"

"oh really, cause that is what they say about asahi until i killed him." "Hey you" he pointed at one of his men sitting down with their bruised face "what is that nickname of his again"

"The moonlight warrior"

"Ah yes the moonlight warrior, tell me more about him"

"It was said that his blade could slain a thousand mortals in 37 seconds, he was the ultimate weapon nothing could match him" the young man continues to talk about the late asahi he didn't realize yula was already standing in front of him.

He went silent but it was too late he just pissed off the theft master

Before he could say a word yula pressed his metal finger to his neck he pressed into the middle of his flesh. The man choked and tears formed in his eyes.

"please ........" he said begging hoping yula would spare him

The tall man laughed before pressing harder

"Begging me only make it worse" he said before penetrating sliding his finger in, blood spilled all over he laughs as the man chokes to death.

The others stayed silent to keep their head on their necks, some of them knows yula rule and they dare not break them. No one dared to raise their head, they shivered on their seats as the man cleaned his finger with a white handkerchief.

"Raza" he said sniffing the air before laughing in a way that scared the men even more.

He makes fun of them before dismissing them.The men left the room hurriedly as if they were running from death itself.

Yula sat on his chair sipping wine as if nothing happened.

If there's one thing he hates is to hear about his enemies, he is a very dangerous narcissist who loves to hear about himself. The man he just killed seem to be new so new he didn't make it to the third day.

His seat reclined, he swirl around to relieve some of his stress. He was waiting for someone and until she gets back no one is seeing the peaceful side of him. At least tonight his men won't say anything no after what they witnessed.

"Peace and quiet" 平和と静けさ. He whispered before closing his eyes.
