Chapter 42 - Chapter 42:The Cracked Outskirts

​[ Enoyajo ] : No... no I apologize, I have matters I must perform, excuse me, but why do you want to go to there? I do not think that it is allowed for children to come.

​[ Kinojo ] : So that I prove to our arrogant colleague that I have a source of information larger than him.... and I have my own method in making the driver take me to there, do not worry.

​[ Kinojo ] shouting : O sir, my father contacted me and requested from me the coming... take me to the protection agency.

​Enoyajo looked at his companion with disdain, ridiculing, while the other winks to him.

​[ Enoyajo ] : Well, the important thing is that he does not forget to deliver me first to my house, for the protection agency is much, much farther than our city.

​Time passes and the civilian submarine cuts the long distances, but a formation of bubbles managed to precede them until it preceded it and became like a distant point relative to it. ​The gathering of bubbles arrived to the city built in the depths of the sea, traveling and touring in its quarters, and its inhabitants traveling with it in a semi-prosperous atmosphere, but the continuation of the movement of the bubbles delivered it to the destroyed part of the city, and the workers of the rescue agency are still continuing their work, but the formation of bubbles did not stop there, as it continued its movement until it entered into a certain alley of a small distance, and after it cut it, it clarifies and becomes clear that there are many dilapidated and old houses, among them what was destroyed completely as an effect of the incident, and some of them were destroyed in a partial manner, and most of who resides in the neighborhood are people it appears from their old, old clothes, which some of them are torn, that they are inhabitants of a poor neighborhood, an intense misery rising above their faces, their bodies are very thin, suggesting the lack of obtaining continuous nutrition. The movement of the formation of bubbles delivered it precisely near a worn-out and old house like the rest, and the house itself is of those which were subjected to destruction and partial dissolving by the shark, until those bubbles decided finally to pop near this house, and in the same seconds, the door of the house opened, there went out from it a young man with brown-gray hair, suffering from a relatively thin body, but he is better than the rest of the inhabitants of the neighborhood, and this young man did not go out alone, as there went out right after him another young female with long pink hair, she has the same eyes of the young man and the same thing, she has a thin body but better than the rest. These two young people walked far away from their house, their features do not differ from the rest in their carrying of the intense misery, until the young female smiled a light smile.

​[ The Young Female ] : This day might be our day, O my brother, we might get rid of the life of poverty and hunger finally, therefore cheer up at least a little.

​[ The Young Man ] : I cannot give to this life a smile of optimism, for I fear from it that it breaks my smile to it just like what it usually performs with everyone..... I will not smile except when the request of joining the ranks of human defense is approved in an official manner.

​The young female placed her hand upon his shoulder, and the smile has expanded in her.

​[ The Young Female ] : Do not worry, I am confident, and with merit, of the approval upon our joining, for we possess the required thing, and it is what is named as the Chigi, therefore do not be pessimistic.

​[ The Young Female ] : I hope, O my sister, that our hopes are realized, it will be finally, if we are accepted, that we have gotten rid of this profession of stealing, I became fed up with the hiding and the fleeing from the police, I indeed hope that we become with the rank of Kaijen, for according to what we heard, their salary is large, you can, after its gathering, obtain your personal submarine, with it we will get rid of poverty forever..... Because of poverty and our bodily weakness, we lost our mother because of it and the incident of New Year's Eve, and a large part of our house was destroyed, therefore.... therefore we must be stronger until we manage to protect ourselves from the evil and danger of this depth of the sea..... I hope that life does not let us down, for this reason I will not smile to it and be optimistic.

​His sister shook her head to him with affirmation with happiness that overwhelmed her. In these same times, the child Enoyajo passed beside them, his face was very serious, not carrying any childish smile, he walked and walked until he arrived in front of a house that was from among those which survived from the partial or complete destruction, until the child opened the door of the house, so he entered it. Close to 10 minutes passed and not any one entered or went out from this house, but instead of that, there approached from it a person wearing a pale brown cloak covering with its hood his head, until it became clear that the person is a matter of an animal, a donkey of the normal type. The donkey, above whose face serious features rise, approached from the door, and his hand worked on knocking the door itself, so that its opening was not delayed, as it was opened by Enoyajo, who looked to the donkey with all disdain.

​[ Enoyajo ] : What is it that brought you? And how did you know originally that I returned from the school?

​[ The Donkey ] : I came for an obvious reason, which is the work, its time has arrived, therefore prepare yourself for the going out.

​[ Enoyajo ] whispering : Wah, my god, I was certain that one of you will come.

​[ Enoyajo ] : But the strange thing is, how did you know that I went out early? You know that this is not the time of going out from the school, so how did you know?

​[ The Donkey ] : Hahaha, do you think yourself unmonitored? Indeed the eyes are upon you before, after, and during the work all the time, we will certainly know everything about you, therefore stop the chattering and come on.

​[ Enoyajo ] : Ah, well, but wait moments until I bring my ball.

​[ The Donkey ] : Set off and bring it quickly.

​Enoyajo returned to the inside, so that he did not close the door, which made a part of the inside appear and become clear that the inside is not like the outside, for while the outside is old with numerous cracks, the inside, its design is normal, its tiles are clean and shiny like the houses of the middle class. A minute passed until Enoyajo appeared anew, carrying between his hands the football, and upon his face are still looks of disdain, and he closed the door with a thundering force that made many bubbles form.

​[ The Donkey ] : Come on let us set off to the work.

​Finally they distanced from the place which houses with destroyed and poor states take possession over it, ...where the institution of the protection agency is, the point in which there resides no building other than it, the civilian submarine approached from it until it stopped, and there went out from it small child feet, which it becomes clear that it is Kinojo, and the submarine did not stay long, as it distanced from the place upon the state of his going out from it, and the latter looked to it while it distances, waving with his hand, bidding it farewell.

​[ Kinojo ] : I am sorry, O driver of the submarine, because I deceived you and said to you that my father requested from me the attendance to here, but a person sometimes needs lying to realize his goals.

​He set off running toward the entrance of the agency in a childish manner, ...after moments, he appears in front of the office of the president, and his hand touched the door knocking it.

​[ The President ] whispering : Ah, who is the knocker?

​[ The President ] : Welcome to enter.

​The president was sitting upon his desk, working on various documents one after the other, while the door opened so that his son Kinojo enters from it, which made him stop from the work, so features of intense astonishment appeared from what he saw.

​[ The President ] : Kinojo.... K, what is it that brought you to here, how did you arrive originally? This place is not for children.

​[ Kinojo ] : I am sorry, father, excuse me... I convinced all the adults that you are the one who requested from me the coming.

​The eyes of the president narrowed, grinding upon his teeth while he stares at his son.

​[ The President ] : What is the reason of your coming, in finality, to here?

​He approached from the desk more with an innocent smile.

​[ Kinojo ] : You know, O my father, sometimes there are present in your life arrogant people, and their arrogance must be broken if we possess the suitable weapon, but what if this weapon was of unknown use, in which a person is forced to request the help of its owner to know its secret.

​[ The President ] : What do you mean by your words?

​[ Kinojo ] : Oh, O my father, during the time in which I was kidnapped inside the silver caves, I saw several phenomena and wonders, like the child who appears in my age with the bright spring-green or fluorescent hair, claiming that he is an adult, taking advantage of his adult voice which he enjoys, just as I saw three of him, his lookalikes, how is that? In addition, when he wanted to get rid of them, they transformed into small green glowing balls, how is this also? And likewise, that my older brother Enyojo said that he heard from those who rescued us that one of the villains used fire, so how is this while we live in the depth of the water? Why from the base are there animals that have our same appearance? Inform me, O my father.

​[ The President ] : These questions clarify to me another meaning of the last sentence you said, you naughty one, .... this is the reason of your coming then.... since you came in any case, then I will answer you upon two questions only currently, and the rest you will know it later.

​[ The President ] : Firstly, the child whom you saw among the rescuers, and who is not a child in your age, but a adult man named Ahinkai Yoriki, he is indeed an adult and not a claim, and the age difference between me and him is not very large, for while I am in the thirties, he is in the twenties of age, therefore remove from your mind the idea that he is a child of your age, he only has a body and features of a person in the tenth but his mind and his age belong to any adult....

​[ The President ] : As for the answer of another question, which is why many of the animals, and a addition from me specially, the creatures of the sea, have come to have the appearance of the human, then the reason lies in that they were hybridized.... they received what is named the anthropomorphism serum...

​A sign of exclamation emerged in the face of Kinojo, and he approached more from the desk until he sat upon one of the two chairs.

​[ Kinojo ] : The anthropomorphism serum?..... Perhaps I know what the serum is, but this word 'anthropomorphism', what is its meaning?

​[ The President ] : Anthropomorphism, O naughty and curious son... is a biological or scientific upgrade according to your understanding....

​[ Kinojo ] : Wait, father, I must write down what you will say in my phone, it is from the impossible that I remember what you will say, I am not a computer.

​He indeed took out from his trousers pocket a modern-style phone to open the notes application, preparing his fingers to start the writing.

​[ Kinojo ] : Well, father, it became possible for you to continue the talk.

​[ The President ] : Naughty son..... I said that anthropomorphism is a scientific upgrade in all shortening, so that the animals transformed from mere raging creatures without a complete mind, walking on four limbs, to what resembles an alternative human race with their lack of losing to what suggests that they are animals, so they became possessing a complete mind and a greater strength, this means that their bodies have become erect, their limbs have come to resemble our limbs, we the humans, and the animals which were not possessing legs and hands like the vipers and the snakes for example, these limbs have come to be for them, this means that every anthropomorphized animal, its capabilities have come to resemble the capabilities of the human, so it became performing works that the humans alone were doing, among them the crimes, exactly like what the turtle brothers did to you, you and your two brothers, and like this you were subjected to the kidnapping.
