Chapter 36 - Vermillion Bird's Night 7.5, Cha 35

Shino is sitting beside an old man who is sleeping on the table. "Man.... how long has it been? Anybody know what time it is? I've got kid to take care of." He said while staring blankly into the dark corner. Party is still on though and children are now eating cake and stuff. "Kid to take care of? But didn't you said you aren't married? Do you young people are having kids even before marriage??" A 35 year old man came asking.

"You can say adoption. And oh I was wondering if you guys are really connected to the mainstream of the church." , "hm? Mainstream? Then we aren't. We don't even get much of a funding." , "So this is like a orphanage? Doesn't this City's people psyco as well?" , "I don't know, knowing that this is a church formally, no one really comes here. Just cuple of people come on their birthdays and festivals." Shino is now in deep thinking. This church is really weird but the most normal one out there. They take children, have parties, and actually does all the formal things that a church should does. For now he has decided, and have another plan now.

"By the way have you done what i asked you to do? Considering you are not in mainstream it must have been difficult." He said, "Oh no, not at all. If we can help that is. Yes, we were able to contact the main headquarter of the church in this country. And as soon as they heard your name, I guess it's time we should get on the work." Archbishop said. And then checked the time and started gathering all the childrena nd staff to go underground. "Come on people, party is over, take food with you."

Shino started walking, coming out of the church after damn 10 minutes. Madreka and little boy rushed to him, "Hey what happened exactly!!" She asked hurriedly. Shino picked up the little boy and then looked around, "there's a change in plans. In summary, this one church was not that type and agreed to help out, though there aren't much power holder people here. Besides this is more like a orphanage. For now I've let them call the mainstream of churches to let everyone know that we are hunting." , "YOU DID WHAT?!!" Madreka almost gone unconscious but Shino held her, "what's the problem?" , "you don't see a problem? There's a big chance that they will all come togther to get us!!" , "yeah that's one hell of a probability but maybe they will do something stupid while being in hurry?", Madreka looked at him with pity. "Shino. We are totally screwed." Then Shino just laughed in awkwardness and putted little boy back in car and Madreka sat as well. "Let Arnes know about all this." , "And what about this church? Should we let children be here? And how are they exactly going to help us?" Shino rushed off car to some certain direction. "It's totally safe for kids there. Let them be. Right now they must be making some traps. ....Traps against any kind of power." Shino grinned and little boy looked at both of their faces, "I'll be fighting too! My power is no joke!" Shino again rubbed his hand over his head, Madreka seems jealous, "No kiddo. You sure are exhausted from before and you can't realy control that power. We will be fine by ourself." , "We? Aunt Madreka also know how to fight?" , "Aunt?!!" Madreka has a strong urge to smack him a bit. "Yeah My darling is much more skilled than me. While I just use force and depends entirely on stamina and raw feats, She got her tricks up." , "S-stop it!" She is embarrassed and quickly looked outside. Little kid just laughed it off. "But then why wasn't she helping you previously? Is the reason is Stamina?" , "yep, though her stamina still much greater than a normal human, but still gets exhausted easily anyway. You can say that's the toll of using those tricks." Madreka is face is burning hot for some reasons. "Then why is it that you get no toll on youself for using that much raw power?" , "hm? Simple, it's just training."

Little boy leaned back, he is sitting on Madreka's lap and is really confused about all of this. Powers are like aeroplane pilot room system that needs constant check up. What's the fundamental of all of this? He has learned his technique by purely inheritance so he has no idea how exactly all of this workd but seeing his new dad beating these powers by raw strength, one thing is clear, whatever fundamentals might be, in the end, they take form of some physical thing even if its mental or hybrid and whatever type, it can still be conquered by raw strength, meaning the force of kinetic energy still affect these power formations for some reason. But then it must come with some toll on that force for hitting such a formation. What's the recoil here for dad?

But before he could think any furtgern two light beams distracted them on sideways, and car struck something really bright in this nighttime. Car crashed into a nearby shop, upside-down, struck by a truck. Then Shino opened his eyes, "my.... my legs ow." He looked towards Madreka. She is still conscious but little kid got hit on the head and went unconscious."Madreka. I'm going outside. Go into this shop and treat him." , "got it." She said and and pushed herself out of the car towards the shop. There car is half into the shop so Madreka and little boy went inside the shop while Shino stepped outside.

"That truck, it's still here but noone inside it." He looked around and can tell even though his enemies are hiding somewhere but they are surrounded by almost more than 70 people here. All of them are power holders. Shino cracked his neck and spine a bit, stretching his body for what's to come.

"Ok come out now." And suddenly he can see 5 people floating in the sky. 10 people coming out of the alleyway. 20 people somehow emerged in front of him out of nowhere. "Only this much came out? Half? Still.... I'm glad that you people think that I'm a country level threat. To bring this many power holders.... just against one man.... you all are just trying to make this match fair, I guess." , "Don't be so overconfident!" One of those floating 5 person said.

Shino took his stance. "If you all are here for surrender, I'll gladly take you in without any beating. So come on." He grined once again.

This is so fair.
