Chapter 30: Wait for me, Nii-san! I will save you!
The next morning, Issei woke up groggily and wiped his eyes. He woke up even before his alarm rang and stopped it before he forgot.
With red eyes, he looked around his room and yawned. After he fully woke up, he remembered that he went to bed rather early yesterday due to an unexpected truth that his older twin brother, Jin, revealed.
He also felt that his eyes were hurting. It seemed like the truth was too hurt for him that he cried in his sleep.
"Hahaha. Who am I kidding? My girlfriend being something called Fallen Angel and only got close to me to target me was something really unexpected." He let out a dry laugh.
The truth was too hard for him. He tried to run away from reality.
However, he couldn't stay like this.
Slap!
"It hurts!
A loud slap and scream of pain filled his room. He slapped his cheeks without even holding back, not taking account of his strength. As a result, both his cheeks were red from being slapped.
But Issei didn't really mind.
"Yosh! I am okay!"
He got off of his bed with a face full of energy. He immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face. Feeling fresh, he looked at his face in the mirror. At that moment, he raised the corner of his mouth forcibly.
As expected, he hadn't recovered yet from yesterday. But, he should try his best not to worry his family. That was the last thing to do. Making them worried about him was something that Issei didn't want and liked to avoid.
'You must be strong, Issei. You can't let your mother and father worry over you. You know how sad they felt when you cried and looked weak when you were a child. They didn't want to see their fourth child feel burdened.'
Since he was a child, he knew something. Or rather, his brother told him about it, that their father and mother allowed them almost anything because they didn't want to lose them. They wanted them to love them, as they loved the brothers so much.
The reason for that would be the loss of their first two unborn children, the first and second child. Although Issei was a bit lost due to puberty, meaning that he went uncontrolled, he blamed it on his grandfather, who showed him porn magazines when he was a child.
Thankfully, his brother stopped him as always and made him sane again. He owed one to his older brother.
His girlfriend was also a part of that, but then getting told by his trusted brother that his girlfriend only got close to him because she wanted to target him never crossed his mind before. He trusted his brother, Jin, more than his girlfriend.
On top of that, his brother was also attacked by Amano Yuuma's friend. Such was the reason for the band-aid on his cheek.
'Speaking of which, I should wake him up early today. I need to talk more about the details of this supernatural world he spoke of.'
Exiting the bathroom, he strode toward Jin's room and slammed it open like always.
"Morning, Nii-san!"
With a loud voice, Issei greeted him full of energy and with a big smile to show that his older brother didn't need to worry about him.
However, the upset voice that always followed suit from his older brother didn't answer like usual.
"Huh?"
It was only at that time Issei realized that his brother wasn't in his room.
'Could he be already downstairs?'
Thinking that his brother was already downstairs, eating breakfast with his parents, made Issei look at the clock in Jin's room. Maybe the clock in his room was broken and it was already pretty late? That was the only case as Jin never woke up before him.
But no, the clock showed the same time. So the only possibility was Jin actually woke earlier than Issei and left his room already.
"Well, that's good then." Issei smiled as he closed the door and then walked downstairs to join the family.
His legs were bringing him downstairs swiftly. A new normal morning, or not so normal considering he knew the Supernatural World's existence now. But still a normal morning nonetheless.
But as he arrived in the dining room, his hope was crushed. No one was there, only a note on the table. Every kind of bad thing flashed in his head.
'Huh? Where is everyone? A note? Wait. No no no no. There is no way. Right? No way that people from the Supernatural World kidnap them, right? Then why am I safe?'
He approached the note slowly. Fear began to well up in his mind. His body shivered, thinking about every bad probability that could happen. He had seen enough horror movies to know what would happen next if he took the note.
When he was right in front of the table, he could finally read the notes. Gulping nervously, Issei took the note and read what was written on it. He read it loudly but slowly.
"Issei… I have taken your mother with me… please don't try to find… us. Because I took her on vacation! Hyoudou Goro!" He shouted the last bit while sighing in relief.
"What is this? I am too paranoid." He smiled. His body was light because he was relieved. "So mom and dad are on vacation today? If that's so, where is Nii-san?"
He looked around the room, but there was no sign of Jin anywhere. At that moment, the phone near the living room rang loudly.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Yeah, wait!" Issei shouted loudly as he ran toward the phone.
Once he arrived, he immediately answered the phone.
"Yes! Hyoudou Residence here." He answered with a warm, happy voice.
"Ah, is this Hyoudou-kun?" The woman on the other side asked. Her voice was sweet, and Issei knew who it belonged to even without the woman introducing herself next. "I am sorry. My name is Tsubaki Shinra, the student council vice-president under Kaichou."
"Tsubaki-senpai, alright. Is there something that matters?" Issei asked, a bit cautious because the other side introduced themselves that she was under the student council president.
In other words… 'She's a Devil too.' Issei thought.
"Right. I just want to inform you that Hyoudou Jin-kun is currently in the student council room. If he's not in the house, then please don't worry about it."
"Huh?" Issei's mind went blank at the information. The phone fell from his hand and hit the ground.
Thud!
"Hyoudou-kun? Hyoudou-kun!" Tsubaki Shinra's voice sounded worried because of the loud thud that rang.
However, Issei ignored it and ran out of his house frantically. His expression was twisted in horror.
Jin was in the hand of the Devil! The creature from hell that was famous for being vicious and cunning! He could not stay in his house when he heard that!
"Wait for me, Nii-san! I will save you!" He ran at a fast speed toward the Kuoh Academy, ignoring that he was still in his pajamas. He didn't even care about the danger that he was about to face.
"Don't worry! Your little brother is coming for you!"
His desire was burning brightly. As he ran, he wished for power to save his brother from the hand of the Devil. Without him realizing, something inside him answered with a growl, not that he noticed because his mind was solely focused on saving his brother.
