[Small Village In The West Empire]

When Kaido answered Lily flatly like that the atmosphere became awkward as Lily kept on staring at Kaido

"No! I'm sure you have one so... If you have any problem just please tell me so that I can help you" she pleaded

In face of that plea Kaido remained indifferent as he said to her

"I already told you... I don't have any!!! And if I have one... I'm pretty sure that my problem won't be solved by some little girls frog in the well knowledge!!!... You and your group have yet to know the cruelty of the reality" stated Kaido

After hearing that Mia who is behind Lily twitched indifferently as she was told by someone whom she haven't even to talked much that reality is much cruel than she thought

Even though she wants to retort, she kept it all inside as she let her friend Lily confront Kaido

"If that is the case then... Won't you at least tell me so that I would have a glimpse of reality?" Pointed out Lily

With Lily's persistence Kaido became annoyed of it as he answered

"No!"

At that Kaido quickly shuts the door tightly as he headed out to bath leaving Mia and Lily standing in the hallway slightly in a daze as they didn't expect Kaido to suddenly close the door on them

"Well that ungrateful....."

Before Mia could finish what she said Lily stopped her as she muttered dejectedly

"Don't... It's our fault for being hasty... Let's give him some time" suggested Lily

As Lily suggested that Mia gave up on retorting back and sigh as she said

"Alright.... Let's just head inside the bathhouse"

At that both of them went inside the girls section of the bathhouse

When both of them got inside and took off their clothes they headed straight inside the bath and met up with Melfina and Anna who are already inside the bath

"Looks like someone is already here" stated Mia

As they settled inside the Onsen Lily begun to wonder that maybe perhaps Kaido's group could tell her about him, as she thought about this Kaido on the other hand was just about to enter the bath

When he got inside he was met with Jack, Alda, Luke, and Hibiki who are already in the bath

"Oi! Kid! What took you so long?" Asks Jack

"Something came up so I was occupied" replied Kaido

After washing himself he dipped down to the Onsen and breath out in relaxation

When Kaido entered the Onsen the girls on the other side heard his voice especially Lily so she kept quiet and listened in wished that maybe Kaido would spill something

Few minutes passed and silence permeated the boys section which made Lily a little bit unsettled when suddenly Jack spoke up

"Gahahaha! This is the best!!! I can feel my muscles softening for a bit because of this Onsen.... Whooohooo!!! I never felt relaxed like this before" he stated loudly

At his comment Luke couldn't help to agree more to what he said

"Your right.... This really helps one to relax" said Luke

"I know right? Maybe this can help me become more handsome in front of the girls..." Said Alda

"Girls? Don't tell me that your trying to pick up girls in this small village? Alda you...you never change" commented Hibiki

"Hahahaha change? Why would I change if there's no problem on anything?" Laughed aside by Alda

At Alda's reply Jack couldn't help it but laugh too

"Hahaha! Such bold words... Your arrogance is really on par with the kid here" stated Jack

"Kid? You mean Kaido? Of course he's like my soulmate" claimed Alda proudly

When Kaido heard Alda's claim about soulmate again he twitched slightly as he opens one of his eye and replied

"We're not soulmate... Don't take my going along attitude in the wrong way... In my opinion you guys are far away to be called my comrades" corrected Kaido

As Kaido corrected Alda the latter himself just smiled wryly in reply to his words

"Hehehe.... Fine! Fine!" Said Alda

At that proclamation Jack suddenly asked Kaido which made the latter not expecting his words

"So do you have a story about your past? Kid? A short story is alright" said Jack

As Jack asked that, Lily who is in the other side and listening quietly blinked as she trying to focus in listening more

This was further noticed by the other girls who also couldn't help themselves but listen to the other side

As Jack asked Kaido for a short story in his past, the latter was so shocked that he didn't expected the question but nonetheless in order to ease their curiosity he told a short story

"Alright... I'll tell you one"

As he said that everyone kept silent and listened to him

"This is a story about a young boy who only wants to live a normal life... But because that boy has a special trait quite different than the others he couldn't help but live in hiding in fear of others noticing his peculiarity... The world however was quite cruel to people like him that when they found people like him, they won't hesitate to experiment on them in the reason of research"

As Kaido continued on with his story he tries to remember his dark past as he told them more

"One day due to some circumstances the boys peculiarity was found out and the moment it found out, everything went South for that boy... He was left behind, rejected, captured, experimented until he become almost crazy to the point that is so gruesome that one can't even stomach"

When he said that the listeners begun to imagine all the gruesome torture they could imagine that is happening to the boy which made them feel bitter about it

"With all those torture and stuff in the name of research they even played with his mind which almost made him crazy.... Until.... One day due to to the laziness of one of its personnel the boy took this chance and retaliated against this certain group" he said

"He was so angry that he went crazy about it... He destroyed their facilities and freed some other people like him... Of course the organization didn't let him get away with it so they retaliated against him which made everything turn to bloodbath as boy struggled to survive and the only way to survive is to kill his opponent..... But the boy made one mistake..."

When Kaido said that all of them turned their attention to him as they listened carefully to his words about it

"The boy hesitated for a moment when he was met upon a small girl trying to protect a woman... If only that boy didn't hesitate then perhaps things would have ended differently... But since he hesitated his pursuers took this chance to kill him when his guard is down completely killing the boy on the spot... He didn't even have a chance to return back to the surface and face his past to know why would his own parent abandon him and why did the world abandon him when he did nothing wrong in the beginning"

As he ended the story in that sentence he proceeded to stand up as he was about to leave the bath and said in contempt

"I... I don't feel alright at the moment... I need to take some fresh air.... You guys can have some fun in here"

As Kaido said that bitterly he left the room and headed elsewhere

Because of Kaido's story the atmosphere inside the room became awkward as the group felt a little unease about the story left behind by Kaido

As Jack sigh dejectedly the other guys remained silent and as for the other girls

As Lily became silent and trying to process the information for some reason Melfina was tearing up, even the person herself didn't know why her body seems to be affected by the story

As melfina wipes her tears Anna patted her back and breaths out to relief her feelings

As silence continued to permeated the place Jack suddenly uttered some words

"Well... That's one hell of a story"
