I wiped off the sweat and blood on my forehead as I survey the pile of corpses on the ground and see if there are still stragglers on the ground. Whenever I see one, I would immediately stomp them in the head and bring down the cleaver to their heads. They might be still under the effects of night rage but because they are reduced to crawl on the floor, they are nothing but slow and weak creatures.

The soldiers were now celebrating after wiping out all of the undead currently trying to breach the gate. I was honestly surprised that even before the Night Rage ended, we wiped out most of the undead swarming over. I did most of the work though but this weapon I am holding right now is just too strong and I can’t easily describe the monstrosity power of the Piyavka weapons.

As for the horde, I don’t see any upcoming undead coming through or any backups left. It would be safe to say that the horde attack ended up too early. Looking at my watch, it is still 4 am. Still too early to say since it usually stops when the time reaches 6 in the morning. This is the first time it ended too early.

”Strange that the Night Rage ended too early. Did you just do something Kyosei?” the pickup truck pulled over beside me and brought down the windshield and revealed Chie’s confused face.

”Don’t ask me, I don’t specialize in theory and explanation so spare me the questions.”

”Still, that would help us get some breather. We usually have too much trouble on the Night Rage that I don’t think we have any kind of break ever since it started. At least today, it was different,” Souichi said.

”Let’s go back inside the base, I am quite exhausted throwing the Gae Bolg many times. I bey Kyosei would want to take a bath too. Just look at him covered in blood.

Indeed I needed a bath. My whole body felt so sticky that it feels awkward moving around. It would be nice to take a good shower and sip some coffee if there are still a few cans available.

We headed back to the base and the soldiers happily let us in. The soldiers are looking at me weirdly while smiling. I don’t know what happened to them.

At the entrance, I saw the others waiting with smiles on their mouths. Before I can even step into the entrance, everyone who is a member of the blood battalion stomped both of their feet and made a salute before they shouted, ” Welcome back! Leader!”

I don’t know what to say about it. It’s kind of awkward and all but I don’t dislike it. I sighed and nodded at them while passing through.

”Sheesh, that is too much for a welcome. But anyway, I am back.”

And after that, I head straight inside without looking back. I shook my head, normally, you can smile with that welcome but I don’t think I will be able to. And I guess that won’t happen anytime soon.

I felt so relieved that Kyosei safely returned the base without sacrificing himself for the sake of us soldiers to escape and get back to the base safely.

No wonder he is supported and loved by his group even with his bad attitude towards others, especially his condescending and cold stares. But honestly, he might be like that but he never abandons anyone.

I felt so guilty I left him behind against the freak that attacked us and I still haven’t asked for an apology on him. He might still be a teenager and he is still far from being an adult like me who already finished training in JSDF but his abilities to fight, to think rationally in a hopeless situation is something you have to commend.

”Man, even with that welcome didn’t faze him much. Not even a hint of a smile break from his face! Seriously what is wrong with him?” Cindy pouted.

”Ahahaha... Don’t bother too much on it. He can show other emotions but he can never smile. We can’t force him to do it though. But maybe if he has already moved on and allowed to do so, then we will see it in the future,” Miyuki smiled.

Now that they mention it,  he hasn’t shown any smile at all. I see others smile whenever they are in break time or talking with others but Kyosei doesn’t even show one. He usually shows a serious look on his face and nothing else registered much. He also keeps on showing his pissed off reaction too. Just what is really running in his mind for him to shut himself from smiling though?

I have to ask twins to wash my clothes due to the blood in my clothes, even my beanie is not safe which ends up for me to have no beanie in my head. I looked into the mirror a few times and due to my long hair, the scar in my head is not that obvious. After donning a hoddie shirt, jeans, and my headphones, I headed straight to the Commander’s Office while holding a can of iced coffee.

Haru asked me to report straight to him after cleaning myself up. I also have to go to him to say my proposal in reclaiming Osaka too so it was good timing.

Opening the door, I lazily walked inside and saw Haru busy on papers. When he raised his head, he looked at me in surprise and frowned.

”Who are you? What business do you have here?”
