Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 8: First day in capital ended peacefull

Garou watched Ogre's men carry the injured and taking them away, Ogre apologized again for what happened before retreating alongside his men while Seryu walked right behind him. She remained silent after Garou let go of her, she didn't even look at Garou again.

"Mister, thank you !"

Garou looked toward the two children who spoke at the same time, he didn't reply as his eyes moved to the woman standing behind them. She was pale and shaking slightly as she looked warily at Garou. She wasn't especially ugly nor beautiful, she was an average looking woman.

The woman moved closer to the children while watching Garou, she put her hands on their shoulders and pulled them closer to her. She said with a shaking voice "Thank you very much, If there is anything we could help you with, please ask."

Despite her saying this, Garou knew she was too afraid and barely able to speak. Probably the only reason she managed to talk was in fear of Garou getting a wrong impression of her, she didn't know who he was, but all the strong people usually are evil, and Garou looked like a typical evil man. However, her fear didn't bother Garou he replied "Good, I have a few questions I would like you to answer."

"Yes sir" The woman replied

"Call me Garou" Garou said

"Yes, sir- I mean, Garou..... My name is Himiko"

"I'm Eren, and this is my twin sister Ari" The boy didn't want to be left out, so he introduced himself and his sister.

Garou looked at the boy and nodded before looking back at Himiko, who was flinching uncomfortably, he said, "We need a place to sit first as I have many questions for you."

Himiko tried her best not to cry or scream, she said fearfully "I'm sorry, please follow me."

Garou followed Himiko alongside the children, she led him inside the orphanage.

In Ogre's office inside the police station, Ogre sat on his chair tiredly. After the whole parade with Garou, his first action after arriving at the police station was to punish those who followed his vice captain, as for the man himself, he was kicked out of the police. Considering his injuries, even if he didn't kick him now, he would have to stop working as he was a cripple now. Ogre followed the laws this time because of the possibility of Garou knowing about how he handled the men. Every time he remembered Garou's eyes, his heart would shudder, it was genuinely terrifying experience.

"Teacher" Seryu entered the office and called Ogre waking him up from his thoughts.

"Oh, Seryu, How are your injuries?" Ogre asked her

Seryu put her hand on her neck, where bandages where covering it. Garou didn't hit Seryu. However, his iron grip left her neck bruised badly.

"I'm fine, Garou didn't harm me.... Not like the others" Seryu replied weakly

"What about Koru?" Ogre asked her again

"Koru is fine as well, berserk mode and the Garou's damage caused it to overheat and slow its regeneration rate significantly. I won't be able to use Koru for 3-5 days" Seryu answered bitterly, her teigu and partner got damaged badly because of her foolishness.

"I'm sorry, I acted foolishly without waiting for your orders, I almost got myself and Koru killed. On top of that, I might have angered Garou to the point where he attacked you and the rest of the police. I'm really sorry" Seryu spoke in a weak voice and lowered head to Ogre.

Ogre didn't respond immediately, he didn't even think of blaming or lecturing Seryu previously. Garou's strength was something far exceeded all his expectations. If someone told Ogre an injured man and bandaged like a mummy can do all that damage to berserk Koru, then Ogre would have laughed at him and called him crazy.
