Chapter 35 - Pretty Trouble

I thought the man lost his mind. He had seen us come out of a staircase that leads underground and thinks we could have killed everyone? Red was unfazed, he calmly asked the man how long had it been since they received a notice of a ARC M coming to kill the Nemesis. It was obvious that the man had no intention of telling us anything, as he gripped his fist and shouted "I AM NOT TELLING YOU MURDERS ANYTHING, NOT UNTIL YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION, HOW DID YOU KILL ALL THESE PEOPLE IN ONE NIGHT?!?!" I could tell that the man still misunderstood who we are, I was about to tell the man that we didn't kill anyone but Red replied to the man in a serious tone. "I said HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF AN ARC M COMING TO KILL THE NEMESIS!!!!!" Red's tone had frightened me, I have seen him mad before but never to this extent. The man was now frightened, he looked as though he had seen a ghost. He replied with 1 month. I looked at Red to see if he had calmed down but he looked even more upset. He yelled at the man "AND YOU GUYS NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE THE HECK THIS ARC M COULD BE?!?!?!?" The man was even more frightened then he already was as he replied with "W-w-wh-what do you m-me-mean? T-th-the ARC M had already arrived and s-sa-said that there was nothing to w-wor-worry about." Red and I were both confused, did Ochitsuita come after his mission in Mini Fort and kill them all? Red finally seemed calm as he asked the man what the name of the ARC M was that came here. The man replied with "Red, the fire swordsman, of the Gifire clan." Red looked at him in disbelief and said "But I am Red Gifire, and I have been stuck in this here underground Lab for a month." The man, now starting to laugh looked at Red and said "You are a funny guy, at first I thought you were a member of the Gifire clan and even got scared of you, but now I know you are just a Lying Mass Murderer who thinks he can fool people, BUT not me, I have seen Red and even spoke to him, you two are nothing alike. So what are you going to do? I have already reported to the neighboring town that there was a Killer here and that he killed everyone, they have sent many people here. And if I die then so be it. I will bring you two killers down as well." Red is trying to make sense of this situation when a faint yelling is heard. The man now smiling looks at us and says " They're here, hope you two rot in hell where you belong." As the man starts walking away I finally step in "Sir I think you met someone impersonating Red, the person right next to me is Red, and I'm Grey, the Chosen sword user. I came here looking for Red after someone told me that Red had never made it to Roseville and that he went missing. Can we please talk this out?" The yelling was getting closer, telling me we didn't have much time left to convince the man to talk to us. He looked at me and replied with "Grey? Who is that? Is he some kind of idol? Well whoever he is he obviously isn't important, and if you want to talk you can ask later when you and him are dead on the ground." The yelling was incredibly close, but then a louder sound came from right next to me. Red had used #3 Flame wheel(Flame wheel is a move where the person summons a ring of fire, powerful enough to carry them.) Me and the man were both stunned until Red started speaking "This is the 3rd move of my sword, and the 3rd move of Red's sword. Do you believe I am Red now?" The yelling finally reached close enough for us to see the source which was a group of soilders who were ready for a fight. Me and Red both prepared to fight until the man spoke up "These people aren't the killers, but the real killers are still on the loose. So could you stay in the village for a little while?" A man walked foward, the only one wearing something different then the others. "Yes Mayor Zero we can stay as long as you like. And you weren't kidding about everyone being dead. Anyways who are these people?" The Man replied with "Some people who might know who the killer is." Red spoke to the man in a surprised tone "You are Mayor Zero? I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." The man raised his hand and looked at Red "No I should be the one who is sorry. I accused you of being a killer when you weren't. Shall we shake hands? As a sign that there is no hostility anymore?" Red grabs his hand for the handshake. "Red I would like to take you to my office. Oh and you can also bring your friend with you." Red looked at me and replied with "I will go to the office with you, I want to find out more about what happened here. And also this person here is Grey, he already introduced himself but he is the new ARC M member so I would like if you treated him with respect." The man looked at me and raised his hand up again with a smile "Sorry I didn't know there was a new member, hi Grey I am Zero, Zero Bore the mayor of Roseville and I am sorry about earlier. But are you also here to deal with the Nemesis?" I shake his hand and reply with "Nice to meet you Zero. I am here to kill the Nemesis but I was originally here to find out what happened to Red, but now that this situation has gotten out of hand I will have to join in." He looks at the sky and whispers "Thank the goddess." He turns around and says "Follow me everyone we are going to my office, when we get there we will figure something out." He starts walking away and everyone starts following him.
