Chapter 9: Kai Ken’s Past
*Yoshida is speaking right now*
“He was 10 years old when his mother died. He told us
“My mother was having a fever that day, and in her place, I go to the job. I was just cleaning some books and after that, I was asked to serve food to the child of the village chief.
I did what I was told but accidentally I spilled the food over the child as he was playing around. The child was around 9 years old I guess.
The child/kid cried, and hearing him the village chief came downstairs and then saw the scene in front.
He got all red and enraged, took a stick, and started beating me with it.
It was my mistake, I accepted and didn’t say anything but when I was getting beaten, someone told this to my mother and then she came running towards the village chief’s house
She saw me getting beaten by sticks, and without wasting a second she jumped above me and protected me
But the chief didn’t stop there. He kept on beating my mother also.
Every time, the stick came in contact with my mother’s body, my heart trembled, every time my mother let out a voice filled with pain, my heart trembled and tears won’t stop.
The beating might be around, I guess a minute or so, or maybe just a few seconds, but to me, it was like billions of years.
After being done, the chief spit on my mother’s face and then left the place
My mother didn’t say anything except, “its ok my son”
Walking back to our home, the men’s on-road were giving weird gaze to my mother, as her clothes had holes and were tattered completely.
At that time, I wanted to burn down the whole village, but I know, I can’t do it because I am weak
And that night, I and my mother sleep without eating any food, which is normal for use but
But my mother was already so weak so, I was crying.
Crying at my weakness
That night, I held my mother’s hand tightly and said “Mother, believe me. One day I will be so strong that not even god would dare to stand against me
My mother smiled at me and said “Yes, you will be the strongest of all”
That time, was the most beautiful time for me as I could see my mother’s smile, one last time.
Next, the day I woke up and said “I will try to find some food” to my mother, which was still sleeping
I didn’t disturb her and left the place.
I begged for food, on one door to another, but I got nothing.
But I never lose hope, and after some long begging, I finally found some food.
I came back home, and said “Mother I am back” but,
But I didn’t hear any words.
I tried to wake my mother but she didn’t respond and when I checked her breath, that time I came to realize, My mother is dead.
For hours, I cried and cried.
And after that, I stood up and calmed myself, as I have to give my mother a proper burial
I walked to the graveyard and asked him if he could help me but he said “Either give me money or do it yourself”
I don’t remember how much money he asked but no matter how much, I didn’t have any.
I-
I carried my mother’s body on my back to the graveyard.
With my own hands, I dig the grave and put my mother in it.
I did it all with my own hands, and the people who were seeing this scene were just giving me a look of pity.
I fucking wanted to kill them all but that’s not what I wanted. I wanted to kill that person who was responsible for the death of my mother
I took a knife from my home and waited for that wonderful day when I will see him all alone.
And that day did come when he was all alone.
With revenge in my mind, I walked towards him and with a smile, I said “Hey, chief, want to die?”
And then, stabbed him in his stomach
Surely he won’t die from that right? So I kicked him and he falls down on the ground and then, I took the knife out of his stomach and then put it inside his mouth,
And with a smile, I said “I hope you won’t curse me”
And then I cut his mouth, left, right, up and down
Then, I stabbed him in his chest again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again
I stabbed him, till I was sure he is dead
After that, I ran away
Don’t know what happened, but who cares
I wandered here and there, hunted animals for food, and did magic practice all by myself. Learned how to fight by myself
Why? Remember what I said to my mother before she died?
And then passing my days and years, I met you 3 girls, and then here I am”
And that’s it’s all about Big brother”
Many people were silent for a while, as for Ide Kotone (princess) she cried after hearing the story of Kai Ken
But then a sudden question arises and an official asked “Wait, but how did he become strong?”
3 sisters smiled and said “Big brothers training were extreme; it was like near death-like experience.
He carried giant bolder and moved up and down on mountains, He literally put stones in his clothes and then jumped inside water.
And more things which we couldn’t even imagine, and I don’t know how, but big brother always pulled it through.
Not just that, big brother also knew healing magic, which we don’t know how he learned and when we asked he said “Magic is nothing more than imagination”
Big brother used to cover each and every part of his body with pure mana and also fill every cell of his body with mana.
And every day, he used to train his magic power to the point of exhaustion and then also he didn’t stop but rather continued on
One day, I (Miyazaki) asked big brother, if I could also increase my magic power, in which he said “Well yes, you may but the pain will make you beg for death”
And then also I tried and I begged him for death
The pain is extreme when all mana has been used and still trying to use more.
But after that one time, my mana or magic power didn’t increase. So the thing is, this workout may help you increase your strength or not
And that’s how big brother trained”
All officials had a confused expression and they said in unison “This is it? I mean, it may sound extreme but is this it?”
With a smiled Yoneda said “Yes that’s it, Big brother was a monster from the beginning. It’s just that, now he is something beyond words”
With this, the past of Kai Ken also ended
After this, they all had more talk and then finally the king said “I will do what I promised, I will announce it tomorrow morning”
And then everyone left the place, but before leaving the princess turned to look Yoneda and said “Thanks for telling us your past”
. . .
Next day the news spread throughout the kingdom that the king will make a huge announcement and in front of his palace many people came to hear it
Konda(Kai Ken) and Naoki (Natsumi) also came to hear the news and stand in between the crowd
Suddenly all people roared in joy, as the king showed his face but
But the moment the King showed his face and utter a word, Naoki, trembled in fear and closed her eyes and looked down
Konda noticed a change in her and held her hands. He asked, “What happened?”
Naoki held her master hand tightly and in a low voice she said “It’s him”
[Note: Why did she tremble in fear? What did she saw in the face of the King? Can you guess, what gonna come next?]
