Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 12: Zanku

Zanku

Days passed since Garou's revenge against Nightraid, Garou made a routine for himself to go out every day to the forests surrounding the capital. He would look for any possible clues about the purple light, he even interacted with people and some of the nearby villages to know if they heard or came in contact with this light. Unluckily for him, his efforts didn't fruit any results. He couldn't find any information, but he still learns a lot about this world and how it works.

The thing that got Garou's attention more than anything else was the corruption running through the empire and the constant state of war. He was disgusted by such actions and those who held authorities, but he still didn't care much about it, he was not a hero. Moreover, he disliked the politics, even more, the people should stand for themselves and rebel against the corrupted authorities and ask for their future and the future of their children, as for him? Unless they take the initiative in pissing him off, Garou won't go out of his way to deal with them.

At the same time, Garou continued his hunt while moving around. Every day, he would bring all kinds of animals and beasts back to the orphanage, sometimes he got even some fruits. Thanks to his work, the food quality and quantity provided to the children has increased considerably. In addition, Himiko had lost all her fears toward Garou, as she interacted more with him and saw the children being close to him. She still considered him quite scary, but she knew he was not an evil person.

Currently, Garou was meditating under a tree in front of the orphanage, he was re-imagining his various battles against all the s class heroes, dragon level monsters and against the baldy hero. He might not be able to fight them here, but their memory lives in his mind. The various choices he could have taken during these battles, the many possibilities and outcomes, he was studying them, reliving them and learning for them. He was so immersed in these memories that his body was stimulated as well. He was sweating as if he was really fighting.

"Garou !"

The voice of Ari calling him woke him up from mediating, Garou looked at Ari who was looking curiously at him.

"What are you doing?" Ari asked

"Training" Garou answered.

"I have never heard of someone training like this, shouldn't you be moving or carrying heavyweights" Ari asked.

"This is another way of training... What do you want? You are not here to ask me about my training, right?" Garou replied

"Oh, right! Himiko asked me to call you. The lunch is ready !" Ari said happily

Garou nodded and stood up while Ari turned around and ran to the inside. Garou followed her at his own slow pace.

Once he stepped inside the orphanage, the pleasant smell of the cooked food drifted in the air, Garou licked his lips and walked toward the dining room, he always had a huge appetite and liked to eat meat. It was especially when Himiko making it. He wasn't sure if Himiko was a great cook or the meat in this world is more tasty than his world, and he didn't care much, as long as he ate a delicious meal he was satisfied.

Garou sat on his chair and started wolfing food alongside the children, while he was eating, he noticed Himiko wasn't eating and didn't look like her usual self. He didn't say anything and continued eating.

After everyone finished eating, the children started leaving the room while Garou remained sitting with Himiko. Once everyone left, he spoke to Himiko "What is wrong with?"
