67 Chapter 64 - This Isn't a Proper World!

Sakda couldn't help himself but smile. The old world he used to live was no longer alive, but there's a secret to every Inheritor alive known except for Touma. Given by the True Emperor, the powerful skill that allowed them to grow faster.

"When shall you re-appear Zhong Yuan? When we cross paths again, judge us with compassion..."

"How the hell will a world this weak help me fight Zhong Yuan?" said Touma pissed.

"It will help you learn my curse: Solitude," Sakda responded thinking I was brainless.

'A world like this!?' screamed Touma inside his head.

Touma could only give up and sigh, "So? Let's get this over with, what should I do?"

"Just learn by understanding," said Sakda confused.

The reason Sakda didn't know how to teach was simply because he only learned his curse only. Never having a chance to learn other's curses because he was one of the first to die, he didn't have much experience.

'It should be easy... Zhong Yuan did it in a flash...' thought Sakda inside his mind.

Touma, unlike Zhong Yuan, was different. His curse only started taking form and it wasn't completely finished. If we were to compare both of their curses, one was a ocean while the other was a puddle.

Looking around, Touma finally realized he was in the middle of a street. It seemed that he was being stared by passing strangers who seemed weirded out.

"Wait... Sakda, are you invisible?" Touma asked silently.

"Yeah, however, you aren't since you're still alive."

"You told me to learn, but what do I do first?" asked Touma tiredly. It seemed that Touma will pass out from just talking to Sakda.

"Uhhh, what did I do?" Sakda wondered.

"You don't remember?" Touma responded angrily.

"Yeah... Good luck. I'll be inside the dimension so good luck finding your way!" Sakda made a portal and waved his hands.

Leaving Touma behind, Touma was just baffled.

"Why are the other I's so careless!" I yelled.

"Are you okay there young boy? Please stop screaming, you are making the pedestrians very uncomfortable," pleaded someone.

I turned to see a police man with a worried look on his face.

"Ah, you see..."

A long discussion was taken place after.

*****

I was given some help by some kind police guys. It kind of reminded me of my home planet and human compassion made me glad. Showing my ID and everything, they helped me find my way home.

"I'm home..." I muttered as I entered my house.

I entered the residency called the Hikigaya residency and see the lights to be turned on. On the living room was a body laying down on the couch.

"Hey, did you come back Sakda?" he asked while covering his face with a book.

'Sakda?' I thought.

"I'm going to my room," I said to the boy.

"Don't forget Sakda, today you have cooking duties!" he yelled.

"I got it!" I talked back.

I didn't know why my body responded so naturally. It felt that the Touma I used to be was stuck, inside a container. Did Sakda do something strange to me or was I just reliving some memories?

Not being able to come up a solution, I just went up stairs to my room. What greeted me was four rooms with plaques. One was Komachi, one was Hachiman, another had nothing. However, on the furthest door, it simply wrote Sakda.

I entered to see a simple room. Just a bed, a computer, and a mirror. Inside the closet of course had some clothing and a small table to bring out for guests. Looking at the mirror, I could see a different body. It was Sakda's body that seemed to be around his 30's, but his body seemed less stronger and his eyes didn't carry his weird gaze.

"No way... That's how it works?"

*****

After a while of contemplation, I went down to cook a meal for that guy. Wearing an apron an cooking a simple dish of fried rice, I asked him to eat dinner.

"So? How were you today?" he asked.

"Hmmm... The usual."

"Do you know where Komachi went?" he asked while looking down on his food.

"No clue. She probably went to have fun with her friends."

"True, it's still the middle of vacation..."

A sense of awkwardness surrounded the dining room. However, it seemed the boy found it normal.

"Brother," he spoke up.

"What?"

"I decided, I'm starting a new life. Next year, I'll go to the same school you've went before."

"A restart? Huhh, why are you going to my old school?" I asked curious.

Silence came out of his mouth. However, in his eyes I could see a rotten yet sad soul.

"I see... were you bullied and that's why you are changing school?" I said, testing my hypothesis.

"Yes. However, this time I'm going to actually make friends."

I could feel his resolution, yet I couldn't help but stare back at his eyes. It seemed like Kazuma's, yet it degraded to the point I could actually consider him rotten.

"Sure, tell me anytime when you need help." I said and lightly chuckled.

This was different from my previous interactions. Everyone I met were slightly just normal with a unique taste, but Hachiman felt like a twisted philosophy with a kind soul.

"Also, tell me quick thing Sakda..." Hachiman asked.

"Ok, go on."

"Why did you quit your job?"

It seemed there was more to Sakda than I thought.

'Hopefully Sakda kept a diary or something, or this will be a pain.'
