Chapter 2- A conversation

Date: unknown

Location: 1. World (Oritsu), the camp

Kaito was in rage. No, he was full of hate. Hatred towards the team members. Hatred towards the team. Hatred towards everyone. He hated everyone and everything except himself. He didn't know where this indescribable hatred came from, but he felt that it was justified. He didn't want anything to do with his team, no, he wanted to get rid of them. Of them all. He was incompetent inside a team, completely useless. He just wanted to leave. To go. "Either I leave or the others," he thought. That was exactly what he wanted to do, to them all, he would--

"Kaito?"

Kaito startled out of his thoughts and turned around to see who had called him.

"What are you doing here so late at night?" Aima asked him.

Kaito was silent for a moment, then replied that he could ask her the same thing.

Aima sat down next to him. "Memories," was all she said. She looked down into the gorge. It was quiet for while, so quiet you could think everything was dead.

Then Kaito asked, "Memories of what?"

"Of all people I loved and still lost," came the answer. "So, what about you?"

Kaito dodged the question. "Have you ever thought about how everything in the world seems to be connected to one another?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did you ever experience that something completely bad happens to you, but a week or even years later this event helps you against something even more important?"

"I don't think anything could ever be more important than my already lost friends. But I know what you mean, it happened to me in smaller events."

"Isn't it weird, how every event in the world is built up on each other.. As if someone had programmed it.."

"Are you religious?"

Kaito laughed out loud. "Why does it have to be a supernatural being? Humans themselves have already created countless digital worlds like video games. Just not as complex as our world, if we assume my theory as correct."

"You think that people could be gods of worlds? Jus don't let Shūkyō hear that, he'd stamp you out for blasphemy right away," she grinned.

"Shūkyō...why is he here? And what about the others?"

Shūkyō is here because he got the rights for his holy church on land in these worlds. He wants to create a kind of small colony for the church in the world with the best living conditions. The others... I know absolutely nothing about Mukanshin, but Chariti was arrested during one of her "Robin Hood actions" and is now working off her debt for the Psia. Don'yoku is, as you may have already noticed, very greedy. He had committed several murders and assassination, he had manipulated, altered and stolen datas of the Japanese secret service and resold them at high prices. He was very lucky to avoid execution by accepting the offer to participate in this operation"

"And you?"

"I.. I hacked into several government servers to find out if my mother was still alive. One day she was just gone while I was playing happily. She never came back, I was 8 at that time. That is 7 years ago now.. But what about you?"

"I was one of the most wanted hackers, 263 successful attacks until I was ran over recently.. I still don't know how they could find out anything about me," Kaito replied emotionless.

"Ok"

There was silence for a while, then Aima went back to her straw hut in order to sleep. "See you tomorrow," she said. "You should also rest soon, tomorrow will be a long journey"

Then Kaito was alone. 10 minutes later, or were it 100, he left the brilliant view of the entire valley which could be seen from the stone cliff. After Aima had informed him about the team members, he now knew who to take out as first.
