**CHAPTER 9**
"Akazuki, what's happening here??"
Akazuki was smiling, a wide, wide, smile.
"Look at me Kuromu. My dreams are finally turning into reality!"
He's giving off a murderer's vibe. He laughs hysterically like a madman. Yeah, he is. My memories are true after all. Miisaki, I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I'll end this now. Dad, this is it, I'm doing it.As I said those words, I try to lift my gun; but, I can't. My hand won't just move; I can't point my pistol to Akazuki; my body is shaking; I'm trembling with fear; the fear of facing the world's cruel truth. I'm sorry, Captain Yudai. I can't face the truth after all. I'm sorry for letting you down.
Suddenly, gunshots were fired from the rear direction. A bullet suddenly shot Akazuki's arm. He was knocked back to the bars of the rooftop.
"Go kid. Take the girl; I'll carry it from here."
"You saved me again. Thanks, and please make it through."
"Not happening kid. I'm already in the enemy's trap. Even though you can't hear this anymore, be brave; for the world; for the things you treasure and protect; and for your own. I was saved by your father in war. Even though you didn't know it. Your father is our former military captain. He also told me that he's been training you since childhood. So do your best and accept my help."
We ran and rode an armoured van to the bridge leading to the next city.
"You did come, Ku-chan."
"Yes, I did. And stop calling me by that nickname, it's lame."
"pffft~~"
"What's funny??"
"No. It was just; you sound the same as when we're kids."
"Oh, do I?"
"You always tells me not to call you by that lame nickname. But I'll never stop because that nickname sounds cute."
"Where's the cute part in it??"
"Maybe It's cute because-"
My head suddenly hit the car's roof. It hurts so much. But I managed to protect Miisaki's head with my hand. The impact made Miisaki fall asleep. The van was turned upside down by an explosion. It came from the rear side.
I crawled to the van's door and made it through.
