Code: Infinity [Reboot]

Chapter 37 - Status Processing... (II)

Her mind began to grow foggy and blank. It was overwhelmingly excessive for her body. Her eyes began to grow heavier as the sight began to grow darker.

"Take a nap, Kurome.", A voice sounded as she finally decided to close her eyes. At the floating moment, she saw a woman with blue hair looking down toward her. "Rest assured that I have avenged your commemorates..."

"Father, what you mean I have to disband my group 'Wild Hunt'? Father, can you at least tell me why?", With a confused face, Syura asked back at his father, the prime minister of the Empire, the one who held the highest political power, Honest.

Syura was a bulky young man with tan skin, green eyes, and pale white. He had a noticeable X-shaped scar on his face and a crown-like headgear similar to his father's.

He was wearing a white, skintight shirt that revealed his stomach and white pants.

"Syura, oh Syura... It's an order from General Esdeath.", With a small smile, Honest stated. He looked at his son and placed both of his hands on his shoulders as he continued, "This may be the chance for you!"

Removing his hand, he walked up to the table, grabbed a fruit, and started to eat it as he looked out of the window, at the sunset from his fancy room. "The 'Three Beasts' were here. They told me that General Esdeath was interested in meeting you."

"This is great. If you get into the Jaegers, you can not only gain publicity and strength, but you will also get more experience without any real risk. Although it also means I will have to find someone else to do the dirty work, you should prepare for what Esdeath had ordered for you."

"Remember son, do not piss off Esdeath.", Finally looking back at Syura, Honest's smile turned into a sharp one, without any emotions. "General Esdeath sent the 'Three Beasts' just to fetch you to meet her? This is more of a political move. HAHAHA! To think our General is also knowledgeable about politics..."

"...", Syura stayed silent throughout the whole conversation.

"No! She will not do something so useless. Just a few hours ago, she left with Jaegers to fight off both Shadow Garden and Night Raid. We can expect some good news soon. But she knew that she needed someone to put checks and make sure the Empire was safe, so she left the 'Three Beasts' in the Empire."

"But them coming specially to fetch you? Ha! This was to make sure your little gang won't cause any problems when she's away. Now, just do what I told you. Stop all your dirty work, disband your group, enjoy your stay at her place, and enroll in her team."

"I will handle you little gang till you return. General Esdeath won't kill you or suppress you. You will get to fight on the battlefield, gain experience carefree, become my successor, and then take over my title."

A kind and carefree smile returned to his face as he looked at his son. All the while, his mind was thinking about how to either stop Esdeath from taking away his son or do something to gain more political power and expand the Empire.

But for some unknown reason, his eyebrows were twitching as if something was about to go down. As if something big, but bad was about to take place.

--[Esdeath Mansion]--

A small carriage passed by the gates of the Mansion as it finally reached the entrance. As soon as the carriage reached the gates, three people flashed in front of the carriage and kneeled in front of it.

"Welcome back general Esdeath. Sir Syura is waiting in the guest room. We stayed within the Empire in case Night Raid or Shadow Garden tried to attack the capital. We will soon begin our mission to hunt the previous prime minister as soon as you order."

Have exams and am super busy. Might release the next chapter in mid-August.

Note: As Seryuu doesn't have [Hekatonkheires], she does not have any wish to damage Wave's body. Along with her psychology of how Wave acted around her, and Esdeath's 'warrior' mentality for her own soldiers; Wave's body was left unscratched, albeit frozen in an ice block.

Through, even if they decide to damage Wave's body, it won't affect the plot much.
