Chapter 50:

Chapter 51 — An Anti Climatic End

My New Home


Psyche gasped in surprise and excitement at Sycnal's monologue.​Sycnal chuckled. 「Keep it to thyself!」​Psyche nodded excitedly in agreement.​Sycnal looked at Akuma. 「Alright, Mellow, focus.」
​Psyche also looked toward Akuma.
​Akuma stood up, visibly enraged, with blood streaming from his nose. 「YOU DAUGHTER OF A WHORE!!!」
​Sycnal and Psyche froze, looking genuinely appalled at the insult.
​Akuma laughed mockingly. Did that hurt your feelings?​Psyche looked at Sycnal, her eyes wide with mock horror. 「Woooooow. Now,」 she raised her hands in a mock surrender, 「I wouldn’t let someone talk about the parent of my child like that, though.」​Sycnal took his revolver from his holster and, without a word, shot Akuma's lower leg off. The fight ended with a deafening bang, anticlimactically, as Akuma screamed in searing pain.
​Akuma: 【THE FUCK! I S'POSE TO BE BULLETPROOF!】​Psyche was surprised. 「You had that all this time?!」​Sycnal: 「Aye, I am of African descent; of course, I carry a piece of weaponry!」​Psyche looked at Sycnal and sighed playfully. 「Want a piece of chicken and watermelon, plus grape soda, with that?」​Sycnal: 「Bring Shizuko hither, immediately!」​Psyche: 「Tch.」 She instantly switched back to Shizuko.​Shizuko: 「Um... Papa, I’m sorry for what Psyche said.」 Sycnal patted her on the head.​Sycnal: 「‘Tis acceptable, fair maiden. Besides, thou lovest chicken and watermelon more than do I, surprisingly!」​Shizuko: 「Huh?」​Sycnal chuckled. 「Ask Haruka; she shall tell thee!」 He walked over to Akuma.​Akuma: Tch, you bastard!​Sycnal shrugged. 「Is that the utmost insult thou possesseth?」​Akuma spat on Sycnal.​Sycnal sighed. 「Now I am obliged to uphold the remainder of the stereotypes.」
​Sycnal started stomping on Akuma and did not stop until he knocked him out.
​Hana, who was being freed by Shizuko and Sora along with the others, commented. 「Huh? Well, this last part is anti-climactic.​Miyeon: 「I know what you mean.」​Jiyeon blushed slightly. 「He was more handsome than usual!」​Mei nodded in agreement. 「If only that idiot didn't call Shizuko that, maybe we could've seen... more.」​Emiko giggled. 「Watching him made me realize something: I'm not better than a man!」​Hana, Mei, Jiyeon, Miyeon simultaneously. 「I know right!」​Sycnal was still stomping out Akuma. 「Be gone from me, Satan!」​Miyeon was slightly surprised. 「Oh, you can hear us?」​Sycnal: 「Aye, I can! Hast thou ne’er heard of whispering?」​Miyeon giggled. 「Oh, that we can do, but we prefer you being able to hear us.」​Sycnal: 「For what reason?」​Miyeon: 「'Cause,」 she looked at Sycnal with sinister and aroused focus, 「you'll be working overtime! There’ll be friction, no moisture, no oils, heck, not even Vaseline—just friction and a lot of force!」​Sycnal stopped stomping Akuma. 「What sayest thou?」​Miyeon drooling over Sycnal.「Yah. I never did demand thy opinion upon this matter, did I now?」​Sycnal went back to stomping out the now unconscious Akuma.​Shizuko: 「Um... Papa, he’s knocked out now. You can stop.」​Sycnal: 「Nay, this is most restful.」 He then called Kikio, his therapist.​Kikio sighed. ⟦You know the whole city is watching you right now, right?⟧​Sycnal: 「I care not. May I book a consultation immediately?」​Kikio: ⟦Regular English, not everyone is Shakespeare.⟧​Sycnal switched to Nikolai. ​Nikolai sighed. 「I’d like to book a consultation right now.」​Kikio yawned. ⟦You going to pay me double for this? No, triple!⟧​Nikolai: 「But me and your dad Itadori are friends. Why don't I get a discount?」​Kikio looked at Nikolai with a deadpan expression. ⟦My dad's name—what is it?⟧​Nikolai evaded the question. 「So, yeah, four times the normal price.」​Kikio giggled. ⟦Wow, aren't you truly generous?⟧​Nikolai rolled his eyes. 「Well, I do try. Alright, I'll be there in an hour or two.」​Kikio: ⟦Alright, bye.⟧ She hung up.​Shizuko looked at Nikolai, a bit worried. 「You are okay, right?」​Nikolai: 「Yah, I'm fine. C’mon, let’s go home.」​Shizuko smiled. 「Alright.」 They went over to the others.
​Nikolai looked at Miyeon suspiciously.​Miyeon: 「What? I’m currently drier than the Sahara desert!」 She gave a teasing smirk. 「I need your downfall as you rain on me!」​Nikolai looked away from her, then looked at Sora and Shizuko. 「I know you two are young, but don't be like Miyeon, okay?」
The two girls nodded in agreement.
​Miyeon rolled her eyes playfully. 「Anyway, Hana, don’t you have anything to say?」 They began walking out of the building.​Hana sighed. 「I’m too occupied to care about y’all banter right now.」​Miyeon giggled. 「Fair enough.」 She stretched her body. 「Now that’s crazy!」​They were suddenly surrounded by soldiers in unmarked uniforms.
​Miyeon glanced toward Nikolai. 「You know who they are?」​Nikolai: 「Tch. No, but they do smell Japanese, so it must be some secret ops. Who sent you guys!」​JSO#01 {Japanese Secret Ops}: 「Stand where you are! Don't move!」
​Jiyeon whispered. 「Do they know Akuma’s broadcast is still on?」​Miyeon whispered back. 「No, let's not mention it.」
​Hana sighed. 「And what will happen if we don't?」 JSO#02 shot a bullet in front of her. 「You shot at me!」 she said, annoyed.​JSO#02 laughed. 「So what?」​Hana: 「When I get that mask off your face, I’ll sue you through hell and no return trip!」​JSO#02 scoffed. 「If you want that to happen, then you'll have to talk it up with the Prime Minister, who's clearly not on your side!」
​Before the JSO troops could take a step forward, guns were placed on their backs by Militian troops.
​Sergei stepped out of the crowd. 「Starshiy brat, ty v poryadke? (Older brother, you good?)」​Nikolai: 「Da, ya v poryadke. Spasibo, chto prishël. (Yes, I am. Thanks for showing up.)」​Sergei chuckled. 「Horosho, tak chto, my ikh ubivaem? (Alright, so do we kill them?)」​Nikolai: 「Net, eto slishkom bol'shaya politicheskaya volokita. (No, it's too much of a political hassle.)」 He and the others walked toward his car and drove off.​Sergei: 「Horosho. (Okay.)」​JSO#03 was shocked. 【How did they get behind us without us being warned or noticing?】​Sergei, holding JSO#03 at gunpoint, said. 「Listen well, slabyy chelovek (weak man). This is the reason why fighting Militia would be unfair: you'll die without knowing it!」
​JSO#03 felt the gun pulled away from him. When he finally turned to look behind him, Sergei and his troops were gone.
​JSO#04 was confused and a bit scared. 「Where did they go?」
