Supernatural Beings: Strive Survivors Vol. 2

Strive 185: A Time And Place For Everything

Narrator's POV

Back in H.U.M.A.N.I.T.Y...

Mato's Room...

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Mato was pressing some keyboards on his computer with bags under his eyes. He slowly stretched out his arms to get his muscles moving. Mato sighed deeply and turned to look at his notes on top of his desk.

Mato turned a page and had a drawing of the Grim Reaper and the angel.

"These two are something else. It's far more different than I originally thought. Not to mention that Taoreta's techniques are more advanced than our old models and advanced with metal that is cut and wiped clean. The craft Taoreta does with her knowledge is fantastic!" Mato says to himself.

Ding!

"Hmm? What's this?" Mato asked himself as he saw his phone getting a notification.

Mato unlocks his phone, putting a password, and reveals a picture of himself with longer hair and glasses. And a girl who has white hair and white clothing. Mato froze at the photo and then closed his eyes. "Don't worry, you're almost there...."

Mato looks at the notes that he got from Kibishi's dresser.

"The Supernaturals are key to your returning. I need to be patient and do my task quietly and let no one know about this." Mato whispers.

Mato looked at his phone and saw the person who texted him. He smiles as the person sends a photo of Kibishi and Taoreta on the roof.

"Akuma and Kurjira's work, I assume." Mato shook his head and was about to delete the photo until he noticed something. "Wait," Mato says, then zooms into Taoreta's eyes. "Taoreta's eyes. It's glowing sliver!" Mato says with a big smile.

Slam!

"The emotion of the supernaturals changes its eye color!" Mato says excitedly.  "Wait. No, they don't.  Well, yeah, they do, but not so often. It's tricky..."

Mato thinks to himself. He then closes his eyes and shakes his head. "Ah well, this is better than nothing, I suppose."

Click!

Mato turns off his phone. 

"Well, back to my little project of mine!" Mato says excitedly.

Kibishi's POV

"Mm..." I groan as I slowly open my eyelid. I held my head with my left hand and then shook it. As soon as this headache lifted, something made me look up straight. I saw Tao, Kuma, and Jir still asleep, but I saw Yosei sitting alone. From my perspective, it seems sad. But if I go up and ask, I'm sure Yosei will reject mu questions, so I won't ask them. 

I use this time to look around my surroundings.

Firstly, 

Jir looks peaceful asleep. Her green hair shines through the room. I can tell that she took care of it every day. Her skin and clothes match her personality as well. The way the clothes were designed, I could tell it worked for the fighting style. Now that I get a good look at her, Jir looks cute. If anything, I would want to get to know her more if the situation was a bit different. 

Next, 

Yosei looks frightened yet calm. It is as if she knows everything will be okay, yet she is not holding her breath. Her yellow hair isn't bad either since it brightens the room even more than Jir's. The clothing Yosei wears is based on her fighting style, too. As the group leader, Yosei must've had changes a lot for her dress. I wouldn't be surprised if her weapon chances as well.
