[Vol. 3] [Chapter 22: Decision] {22}

The current time is 3:30 pm. Elsewhere, Suga is in his class, with an architecture similar to Ken's classroom, this room has a modern classic style. With a stage in front for teaching. There are 42 tables and chairs here, with 6 columns and 7 rows of tables. The floor of this classroom is glossy marble. The bell had just rung, indicating that the teaching and learning activities were over, and the activities continued to club activities. Suga packed the things on his desk, groping his desk. Suga previously received a voice message during class, Suga then took out a single headphone, which he then put in his left ear, he pressed a button here, then heard a voice note from the leader of the East, the one that sit on the throne in front of Suga before

"I have something important to talk to you about, call me when you're free"

Suga's expression appeared to realize something. Suga took off his single headset again, then he started packing his things, it appears that a Nellson key chain the size of an adult human grip is hanging from his school tote bag. One of his female friends in his class walks up to him

“Today we will discuss the practice schedule of our music club activities for the upcoming competition, Hisoka San”

Hisoka appeared to have just remembered it, his mind divided on the Association's affairs from the message he got from the leader

"Oh yeah, I'll be right there, you go first"

This female friend gave a smile and nod, even though she knows Suga can't see it, she replied

“All right, see you later”

She then walked away from here. After Hisoka finished packing his things, he then gets up from his desk, and he also walked out of the classroom using his cane.

As Hisoka walked outside the classroom, he appeared to have memorized the direction he needed to go. Hisoka runs into several students from other classes, it appears that if the students who pass him there are watching Hisoka in surprise, some appear curious, some appear to feel strange, and some appear to feel pity. One of the male students looked at Suga in surprise

"I still can't understand how can a blind person be accepted in this school?"

Another male student nearby answered

"I don't know, maybe his parents are rich enough to pay more for this school so they don't mind it"

It appears that because Hisoka is blind but he is allowed to attend the regular classes at this school, resulting in various responses from the students of this school.

The time now shows 5:00 pm. The sky looks cloudy and starts to turn yellow. Outside the school, the building where Suga attends school has a classic modern style. An elite private school that is still the same owner as Ken's school, Aragi High School. It appears that this school is next to Ken's school building complex. After completing club activities, Suga is now walking using his cane, tracing the concrete pedestrian road in front of him that connects the main school building, to a detour road for cars to pick up and drop passengers. The pedestrian's road divides a neatly arranged garden of shady trees. Suga arrived at the detour road after this pedestrian walkway, it appears that there is a bus stop, and in the middle of this detour road is a park with a stone nameplate bearing the name of this school. Suga carried his school tote bag in his left hand, on this bag hung the Nellson statue keychain. Cars appear to come and go to pick up the students here, some also continue to walk towards the highway, to take other public buses.

The black sedan that used to take Suga is have been waiting here, with the driver standing outside the car. Seeing Suga's arrival, the driver immediately walked towards him, helping Suga to get into the car. In the car, Suga then removed the Nellson statue keychain from his bag, he then said

“Come Nellson”

Immediately after that, black smoke began to evaporate enveloping this keychain, eventually enveloping it completely. This smoke grew, and from within this black smoke, Nellson appeared, with only the size of an ordinary owl.

Suga and Nellson then whispered to each other, and soon after, Suga was able to see again. Suga smiled happily and looked at Nellson, then stroked his head. Not long after, Suga's smartphone rang, he then immediately took it out of his pants pocket. The name that appeared on Suga's smartphone screen was "East" Suga's expression looked a little surprised, and he then immediately picked it up. On the other end of the call, a man wearing a vest, trousers, and long sleeve shirt, standing on a veranda on the 4th floor of the main building of the Yokai Controllers Association headquarter Suga had previously visited, with a classic Japanese sliding door entrance. This man appears to be standing facing the view of the forest area and the buildings that stretch out in front of him. This man was holding a scroll from Makoto, and his right hand was holding a smartphone that was calling Suga. From his voice, this man was the leader who was in front of Suga, when he met the leaders. The Eastern Leader said

“As we expected, they refused”

Suga appeared to immediately understand what the eastern leader meant

“Yeah, I just didn't expect them to turn it down so soon. Maybe we should tell them about the Flame Crow and Black Deer…”

Eastern leader replied

“The Association has agreed not to share the details of our mission with non-Association members. So now we move on to plan B”

Suga's expression turned serious

"Understood sir"

They then ended the call.

The current time is 6:00 pm. Ken is sitting in a single chair with the standing lamp next to him, in his room, looking at the glove puppet Asanuma that he puts on his left hand. The shape of this glove puppet is like Asanuma's chibi version. Ken looked at the glove puppet Asanuma whose expression was frowning, with an astonished expression

"Asanuma when he's in this form is kind of cute..."

Ken rested his cheek while moving his hand wearing the glove puppet Asanuma. Not long after, there was a knock at the entrance, Ken then got up from his seat, and walked towards the entrance. In front of the door, a female stood up, she is one of the butlers of this house

“Mr. Makoto invites you to dinner, sir”

Ken replied

"Okay, I'll be right there"

The butler gave a respectful bow and smile, then walked away from here.

Ken headed to the dining room, he walked down the corridor of the house which was lit by the wall lamps dimly. Ken walked while playing with the glove puppet Asanuma in his left hand. When Ken arrived in the dining room, Makoto was already sitting at the end of the long dining table here. The large dining room with a long table that was previously busy during the honor ceremony, now looks quiet, with only Makoto and Ken. Ken thought to himself

“This room feels big because it's quiet…”

Ken walked over to where Makoto was sitting. Makoto said

"Welcome Ken, come on, have a seat"

Ken smiled, he then sat on the side chair near Makoto. Makoto said

"I see you brought Asanuma with you?"

Ken replied

"Yeah, I feel like taking him with me. Even though he is in the form of a glove puppet like this, he is actually a living being”

Makoto smiled

"Yes, you have a point in your words"

They started eating their dinner, Ken removed Asanuma from his hand, and put it next to him, on the table. While eating, Ken remembered something, and his expression turned curious. After swallowing his food, Ken said

“Grandpa previously said that this Yokai cannot be released. But, what happens if the glove puppet is tampered with?”

Makoto stopped eating, then answered

"Oh yeah, I haven't told you yet. Don't worry, this glove puppet of Yokai medium won't be damaged by any factors”

Ken looked surprised

"Impossible…"

Makoto smiled

“Then, you can try to destroy it”

With some hesitation, Ken tried to tear the glove puppet, but there was not even the slightest tear

“It's so strong, but is it really can't be broken? For example, being burned though?”

Makoto replied

"Yeah, it won't break. You want to try to burn it?”

Ken's expression turned astonished

"I guess there's no need to be tested again, Grandpa… I believe it"
