KailaThe breeze whispered throughout the treetops; the tall grasses around them were dancing with them too. Counting dust, Alicia and I were sitting on the bench by the endless road."We've been waiting here for over an hour. Do you really think that the speedy man will go back here?" Alicia asked."Of course, I'm sure everyone wants to go back to where they came from, and even you. Have more patience because nothing will happen if you only complain there," I replied."Maybe nothing will happen also if we will just sat down here and won't move, we might caught the speedy man if we'd pursued him.""Still nothing will happen if we pursued that man, we'll just make ourselves fools of pursuing something we cannot catch.""But can't you see that it's more better to try and failed than not trying at all? Look, there's nothing happening, because we're sitting and loitering here for an hour, we will be bored, so if not now, when?""Alice, can't you just calm? Can't you see that even we're jus
The Search for Freedom 68 The Fan Girl
After killing the speedy man, I realized that being quick in every movement could make my mission be done quickly too. That kind of power was what I was attempting to master in the days that followed. With the help of my vision, it became easier than I thought. I could then move quickly like a speedy man. But it didn't mean that I could easily master this technique, as if I couldn't control this power, it might bring me into danger.I and Alicia were currently strolling anywhere, taking the road, which seemed endless. We seemed to be free from the curses, because we didn't mind anything. Meanwhile, I was also practicing some dark magic while taking a quiet road, as I used to grow a hundred plants around."Are you not tired of spreading plants anywhere?" Alicia asked."Of course I'm not, look! I cannot be tired anymore!" I replied."I know you cannot be tired easily, but I also know that your patience won't last longer. I noticed you can now move faster like the speedy man. I just want
The Search for Freedom 69 The Squashed Head
LilAs I expected, the bamboo woman attempted to prick me with her pointed bamboo hands. It was so dangerous if she could prick me. I was sure that her hands could inflict some wounds on me, though they didn't look that sharp in my eyes.I was doing everything I could to avoid her angry attacks. She was determined to prick me somewhere around my body, and she was so fast, but no one was faster than me; even her fastest moves were just a warm up for me, but she tried to prick me many times.Minutes elapsed, and she was panting right then. Her wet hair and body had turned sweaty. Unlike me, I wasn't panting. I knew I could not be tired easily as a normal human. I had the capability to not become tired, no matter what kind of fight I would be going through.I was glad and lucky that she hadn't pricked me; I had avoided all of her attacks. Then she stopped for a while and looked down at the ground filled with dead leaves of huge trees. Perhaps she was confused and wondering why she was was
The Search for Freedom 70 The Talkative Demon
It had been twenty-four hours since I had been here in a place where I expected to be with the third person who was destined to fight me. A weird and scary place, because of the prevailing silence and emptiness. Though I was used to living in silence, I felt something odd there. It was the emptiness, and I was scared for so many reasons. It had been two days of being here, in a place where there wasn't even a tiny ant, not even an air bubble, and I was curious if I could breathe.A question, "How did I get here?" was messing my mind. I only remembered that I was trying to teleport to the place of the third person who I needed to kill in order to get rid of the curse, and I brought myself here. I seemed to fail in controlling myself from transporting, and it brought me into nothingness. There were only three words I could say: I WAS LOST, and I didn't know how to get back to the real world.Right there, I realized: it was my mistake. I was thinking about the void while teleporting. At t
The Search for Freedom 71 The Debt
KailaI was interested in what Alicia wanted to tell me, but she was also right; we needed to do something in order to kill the fan girl. That girl was more important than anything else in this kind of situation. I should not let her escape; otherwise we would need to search for and fight her. I didn't want her to know there was someone going to kill her, or else she would have prepared for it and it would be difficult for me.There was nothing else we could do but wait for the fan girl to drop her fan and give up. This kind of fight was like the Cold War, in which we didn't need or use swords and strength. This fight mightn't have to come into ardor because if the fan girl dropped her fan, I didn't need to exert force in order to kill her. But I could not judge someone by their appearance. I should be prepared for the possibility that it will turn out differently than I expected.After a few moments of waiting, the fan girl stood up and walked again. Along the quiet, lonely road witho
The Search for Freedom 72 The Guitar Boy
As time elapsed that I'm always with Alicia, I was maybe influenced by her ways of doing anything. I seemed to laugh like a demon too. I didn't care about anything else anymore. Even my conscience became tired of telling me what was right and wrong.As usual, Alicia offered the spirit of the girl to her master. I didn't know how she did it, because she was just a normal spirit who could not touch a human when her power wouldn't work. Maybe she could still talk to her master, or maybe her power worked again?After a few moments, she stood up and asked, "We're done with what we needed to do in this place, so let's go to the other place where the next person would be.""No more words, bring me now to the fifth person, so that we can't waste our time doing anything else," I replied.Alicia said, "You're right, we have been wasting our time strolling like there were no curses in us, but you have even killed ten out of a hundred people who were destined to fight you.""I know that, but don'
The Search for Freedom 73 The Cigarette Boy
LilNot born taciturn and probably not verbose. If the topic wasn't really important, then there wasn't use talking about it. Therefore, I teleported to or behind the wall where the boy who was destined to fight me was. There he was. A tall boy wearing a printed, plain blue shirt, striped trousers, blue hat and black slippers. Sitting on the same bench beside him, was a girl wearing a printed plain white shirt, mauve pants and a green slippers. Her hair was tied together by a pink band. Except them, there was no more people here, maybe because it was already midday and the sunlight was so warm.The smoke from the cigarette of the boy which was the third person who should die was floating in the polluted air. I didn't know why there were many people wasting their money in insignificant things. Those people could not see themselves amidst the smoke in the morning, they chose to buy cigarettes rather than foods, clothes or significant things. In effect, it made me think if which was impo
The Search for Freedom 74 The Sun Man
I thought why Cain was just laughing when I asked him about the vesper. Eventually, I realized that we didn't want to talk, especially in unimportant matters. But because I was really determined and it was one of my manner that if I wanted to know something, I would really coerce someone. That wasn't truly my manner at all, because I wasn't an inquisitive boy. I just wanted to ask and I want an answer, because I didn't want it to mess my mind, and there was nothing would be gone if Cain would tell me about it. Consequently, I coerced him to tell me; he eventually started to talked too much words again. But throughout those thousands of words, there were just few I comprehended.Cain told me that the thing wasn't called "vesper." In the place where he came from, the place of spirits, they called it as simple as "offering." Because they offered someone's spirit into one who was powerful, as an exchanged in asking his or her help. He explained that in the law of spirits, there was no hel
