Chapter 3
Hostage
“ Here. “
I passed over the money to Aunt Sun by which I was supposed to buy a pot, spatula and an electric solar so-so stove.
“ Be sure to explain it to Grandma. “
I reminded her.
“ Ya, now let’s go! “
She seemed very enthusiastic.
“ Ugh, go? I . . . . Am going to the market section and you are to fashion section . . . . Let’s part here. “
“ Hua?! If I go alone, it won’t be a date!? “
“ I don’t remember saying it’s a date .”
I answered with a forced smile.
“ What if this defenseless lady got molest buy some guys there?? “
Aunt made that erotic pose again. It would have worked if it was someone else but I guess big sizable woman are not my type.
“ I think the guys would be the one at problem. “
Aunt started laughing and patted my back out of blue. It startled me so did others.
“ Not enough to seduce ya hua?! “
“ Ugh . . . . I don’t think you should be shouting that aloud. “
Others in the mall were already glaring as if I’m some molesting pervert.
“ You did it knowingly, did you not? “
I whispered her to which she turned a blind eye saying, What you mean.
She was already on her way to the fashion department.
I hope others put a blind eye on what she said too.
“ . . . . Alright, What’s next? . . . . Mushrooms, all right! “
Non-veg in not on the list but I am talking it anyway as I told in previous chapter.
Just casually breaking the 4th wall.
The more the non-veg, the better the dish becomes. Mother told me this when I was a kid.
Well, there are lots of big suspicious looking guys almost everywhere in the Mall.
Who wears a mask with sunglasses along with a cap. Every character in movie who wants to hide themselves or is doing something fishy has this get up. I saw around six of them in last 30 minutes, definitely something fishy.
( “ What if this defenseless lady got molest buy some guys there?? “ )
I took a deep sigh again.
I hope these guys don’t do anything to Aunt for their own safety. She would beat them till death if she gets pissed off.
I took three packets of packed mushrooms and went towards the non-veg section.
It's not like I was interested in it but I saw a blond girl with a ponytail glaring all over the meat. She wore some kind of Chinese martial arts uniform.

“ –Which meat would be best for the hot pot? “
I heard when I was close enough. She had packed pork belly in her hand and it kind of disturbed me.
I am no chef but I don’t like the idea of pork belly being boiled in the hot pot. It’ll be too greasy don’t you think Soo ?Definitely a bad choice.
“ –I’d rather buy Tuna for the hot pot. “
I mistakenly spilled it out. She turned behind in a surprise but thanked me for my advice.
“ Thank you. “
“ Ugh, it’s nothing. “
Later she took two packets of packed tuna and went away with a gush of wind.
“ Wind? . . . . In the mall ?”
I took Tuna, Pork shoulder and chicken breasts along with me each packet.
It coasted me alone nice amount of cash compared to vegetables.
Nothing important but I saw the blond ponytail girl in the counter again. She had Tuna with her as I recommended. It’ll be better then pork belly at least.
I completed the groceries in half an hour but Aunt Sun was yet to come.
I sat down on the bench closest to me.
There was a lady with a kid in her hands on the other side of the bench. The kid seemed rather small. Like a year or two.
It somewhat felt wholesome to see parental love which already is out of my reach.
“ UGH!! Should I just head home? Aunt should be fine on her own . . . . “
Right on the moment the kid across started screaming as if his life was in danger.
“ DON’T MOVE! OR THIS WOMEN AND KID WILL NEVER BREATH AGAIN!! “
A male voice screamed.
It gathered everyone’s attention including me.
“ What’s . . . . That? “
I saw a man with familiar cap, sunglasses and mask but this time . . . . With a How’s type 20! I
It's a type 5.56mm rifle develop for Japan Ground Defense Force by Howa corporation. It's used by Japanese defense force but it itself is hard to get your hands on one unless you pay a high amount of money . . . . Or if you work JGDF.
“ P-PLEASE DON’T MOV– “
“ SCREAM HARDER BITCH! “
The man with Howa type 20 kicked the lady down and putted a gun behind her head.
The lady protected her kid under herself while getting kicked by the man.
“ P-PLEASE . . . . LEAVE US— “
“ DON’T GIVE ME A DAMN!! “
The man shoot one of the lady’s leg while she screamed in pain along with her kid.
The man kicked her and she fell down still holding her kid tight in her arms.
“ TELL THEM TO KNEEL ON THEIR PLACE BITCH! “
He kicked her hard on her thighs to which only scream of pain came up.
Everyone was already kneeling down on their place with hands behind their head.
“ E-EV–ERYONE . . . . PLEASE . . . . “
The lady’s cry amee out as if asking for help.
“ . . . . PLEASE . . . . STAY AT YOUR PLACE . . . . “
It’s not nice. We are being held as hostages. What . . . . Should I do?!
“ Everyone is already settled. Good. “
I noticed just now, the guy has a very dark aura like void coming out of him which was very huge or rather increasing itself.
“ BE OBIDENT AND WE MAY KEEP YOU AS O-U-R S-*-X T-O-Y—”
“ I . . . . Have to save her . . . . I-am immortal but why! . . . . “
WHY!! WHY . . . . I FEEL SCARED TO SAVE HER . . . . HER KID . . . . MYSELF . . . .
I was in tears by my own pathetic self knowing if I don’t do something that kid would be like me . . . .
On very moment I felt the gush of winds past again.
The blonde ponytail girl leaped straight towards the lady past me in a blink of an eye.
I saw her face for a brief moment but there was a determination in her face which even I was able to tell.
Determination to save someone.
Determination to face pain.
Determination to give your all.
No . . . . Sign of fear.
On the contras I . . . .
A coward crying on his faith.
Swallowed by his fear.
Fearing his past . . . . A total failure.
If only she was immortal not me . . . . Or Aunt Sun or even Nino was immortal . . . . Lots of people would be saved . . . .!!
Why me?
Why only me!?
