As hotaka and koto begun to head towards the town, Koto begun to pick up the fallen pieces of his now broken white blade. The pieces he picked up where shattered due to their battle, but Koto didn't seem to mind much, as he placed them onto the ground into the original swords pattern. "Okay! Let's see if I still have the hang of this!" Koto advocated, his hands now glowing a glooming shade of silver as in a hot flash of light, the shards of the blade begun to become reconstructed back together. The before broken blade was now a shining, beautiful piece of work like it was when it was first shown.
"That's amazing! What did you do!?!"Hotaka would ask, astonished by how well build it was. Koto, who was clearly embarrassed from being complimented, would pat his stealth on his side as he slid the blade into it, the blade making a slight ringing sound as it entered. "It's nothing more then simply reconstructing the blade with Spiritual and mental energy! It's just common work!" He said flustered, as he begun to calm himself down.
"Well anyway, we need to start heading towards the town, we got people for you to meet." Koto recoiled with his response, as he stood up and begun to walk, with Hotaka following close behind, walking down the Meadow of flowers towards the town. Hotakas heart began to race in anticipation to see the town folk that he has saved.

Reaching the town, Koto and Hotaka would reach the inside of the rural town where a crowd of people awaited for them. Hotaka would see that with his {analysis}, there was about only 400 or so people in the crowd of this, making this a rather small town over all.
The crowd seemed silent to me, until Koto pushed my shoulder ever so slightly, whispering into my ear. "They are awaiting a speech from you. They apparently see you as a overseer from the look in their eye."
He would say to me, as I looked at them with a deep smile. Even though I did not know them, and they I, they trusted me enough to. All me a overseer of a small town.
I would gather up my wits before quickly coming up with a small speech.
"Well hello everyone...it's uh, nice to meet you all..my name is Hotaka Takahiro, your new uh overseer?" I would announce, my voice shaking in the crowd of people.
The crowd was silent before bursting into a massive cheer, seeing some even cry with apparent relief and joy.
Koto would smile at me, likely my speech even though I thought of it off the spot.
I would now feel a massive rush of energy surge through my body, my being aching now with excess of power as my headed pounded.
I would hear inside of my consciousness [Analysis Upgraded. Two new Balances has been automatically set. Investigation and Breakdown has been added to The Xenous.]
It would seem the two new powers would grant me two other Abilities, which is odd. From what I can automatically tell from the power of Investigation, it allows me to research an past or a ongoing event and figure out the best possible outcome.
For Breakdown, it is basically a heightened version of analysis, which should allow me to understand the object or person which Is in my line of sight.
Now the Xenous....that seems to be a new one, so let's test out {BreakDown}.
{BreakDown} The Xenous is the amalgamation of spiritual, mental and physical energy tied into a conceptual ball inside the soul. It is used to Store Balances. For further details, The Xenous is still alive even after =Full Death= so any Entity with a Balance can obtain said Xenous.
Ok....that was a little more than I expected from the power...
But from what I can tell, the lizard I fought was told to have the power of analysis....but what voice instructed me to do so? Let's ask once more.
{Investigation} The Thought that occurred into the mind was the Clothing of a Seraphim. The Clothes have the ability upon death to a nearby victim, to asorb the Xenous into it until the user wishes to put it into their own Xenous.
"This is freaking me out! What's with all this magic and babbling!?! It's all nonsensical!!" I would say, until I saw two children up to my sides.
From the looks of it, one was a small girl and the other, was a boy. The girl being rather small, would stand at around 4'3 feet and was covered in a rough cloth dress. Her Messy Brown hair was covering her Emerald colored eyes as she seemed to be timid. The boy on the other hand was the exact opposite besides hight, with him only standing 4'4 feet. He had on a brownish rough looking shirt with the same colored pants. His raggedy short Blue hair was cut nearly as he had the exact colored eyes as the girl.

"We are here to thank you for saving us back there!" They would say in unison.
Hearing at what they said, it was the two children I saved when the Kakaygin Lizard attacked the village.
"Oh! No need to thank me, I was only doing what any ordinary person would do. " I would reply to their thanks, with the boy being the more assertive of the two.
"Yes there is need to thank you! Without you, we would of been devoured by the Kakaygin! And no! No ordinary person "Here" would attempt to even save two kids like us!" He groaned, motioning to the red clouds above us.
It was very clear he was talking about the hell we were in, and was implying no one in hell helps one another, which seems the case in other works of literature.
I would be a little saddened to see kids in this kind of world, where suffering is virtually endless, may it be Physical or mental torture.
I would bend down and took a look at them via my {BreakDown}.
{BreakDown}"The boy is called Kotaru Hayaki, brother of Azumi. He is eight year old and is sent to hell via first degree murder. Ruler of Judgment [Sharriwan, the Left.] Innocence level 1-10: 8. The girls name is Azumi Hayaki, Sister of Kotaru. She is seven years old and was sent to hell via first degree murder. Ruler of Judgment [Sharriwan, The Left]. Innocence level 1-10 : 10.
I would begin to think --"It seems from the looks of it, they had the same dilemma as me... They were sent here even after having this innocence in them. I gotta help them out, it'll be the least I can do."--
"Well, it seems like I am no ordinary person here. I may be a bit clumsy, a nerd and a all time loser, but I won't just stand back and watch people get bullied by those that pose the title of the strong." I would remark, seeing Kotaru stunned in his place along with his sister.
A few moments passed before Kotaru would mumble over his words, saying "w-well, if you can keep that promise of hope...then do. People down here, along with us, need that.." he would say, clearly taken back by my proposal.
I would smile before ruffling his hair, as he reminded me of my little brother Tajima Takahiro, who used to always get scared when in bad situations. Ruffling his hair allways seemed to make him calm and beamed with happiness, so trying it on him would probably work.
I would open my eyes, seeing Kotaru , unlike his bombastic personality from earlier, he was more timid and open. I could see under his demeanor, a small smile creeping up his mouth.
His sister would wait patiently for Kotaro to leave as I would remark as they begun to leave" don't worry, if anything bad comes, I'll beat them up!" I would Smugly remark. Kotaro would laugh a bit as he ran away with his sister, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
It would see a inn I was walking into gave away a free bed for me to rest my head on.
I would lay my head down upon the soft feather filled pillow, as my mind would lay to rest.
Quite, dark and peaceful. Rolling off until a comfortable dream like state.
