Chapter 59 - 59 Returning Home

After a lot of preparations and training, his time in Japan regretfully had to come to an end. He had finished his training with Chisato-san and Akira-san. Both of them shared all the knowledge they could and Zou Yue soaked it all up like a wet sponge.

"You have everything? Oh, don't forget these" Chisato-san handed him a bag full of snacks and sweets.

Zou Yue poked his head in. Inside there were varieties of mochi and other snacks. "I will get fat after eating all these,"

"Hey It's not for you, it's for your parents," Chisato gently smacked his forearm.

"So mean, you didn't even get me a parting gift," Yue grumbled as he placed all these inside his carry on.

"Who said so?"

Suddenly, a small wooden box was shoved to his face. "Here it's for you,"

"What's in it?" Yue curiously opened it. Inside there were ten sharp swords, all with their decorated sheaths. "Oh, my god!!!! This is too much," he gave it back to him.

Akira-san's family was the only known samurai descendant who was knowledgeable in sword art and in forging authentic japans Katana. They were sharp n both sides and can slice though things as if they were butter.

Some of these swords were the ones Akira-san had treasured so much. It was placed on a display shelf in their dojo. Every day during training, he would look at them and awe at their beauty.

But he did not expect Chisato-san to gift to all to him so easily.

"Oi, don't be a stranger. Take it, it's my parting gift," Chisato gently smiled. "All the bottom ones were forged by me as for the top five, my grandpa specially made it for you. It fits your arms' strength much better that that sword you carry. It won't cause you arm pain even if you swing it thousand times."

Zou Yue carefully closed the box and placed it on the trolley. Immediately after, he jumped on Chisato-san, giving him a tight hug. "Thank you, so much... for everything."

"Ah, you are like my little brother kid, I will do anything for you," he pulled away from the hug and gently caressed Yue's long shoulder length hair. "Well, I guess little sister might fit the bill,"

Zou Yue smacked him once more.

"ow…. easy on the punches,"

Chisato goofed around for a bit, but afterwards an expression set on his face. "It's been a pleasure meeting you, Yue-san. I hope we can meet again," he slowly moved back.

"Wait," Zou Yue pulled him to a corner. "I have to tell you something,"

"okaaaay?... is it about the time you broke the wooden sword and super glued it. It's okay, Grandpa found out earlier, but he did not say much."

"What?!!! he found out... shit I did a good job... wait don't distract me. I have something else to say. But Chisato-san you have to believe every word I say," he peered up at him.

"Hmmm now you have intrigued me,"

"In a month, the world we came to know is going to end. Countless humans will die and rise as undead, who in turn will carve Human flesh,"

"Is this a plot to the new zombie movie? What was it train to Busan something...." Chisato-san confusedly glanced at him.

"No, no, it is the truth. In a month, all this is going to happen," Yue explained with a dire expression on his face.

"You have to stock up. Anything that is sustainable should be kept close. Minimise human contact as much as you can. Fortify your house; I mean, make the doors out of iron or something because sliding doors are going to be very unsafe. And....quarantine your family... stay away from any unrelated person that includes mister rain."

"Whoa wait, you are talking smack here. Why do we have to quarantine ourselves?" he looked really confused by the dump of information. 

"In just a month, there is going to be a meteor shower. This will bring about a deadly virus that will infect all. Everyone gets sick. Some scrape though but some... they turn.. they turn into nasty flesh devouring undead. So it's better to stay in separate rooms that day. Please.... trust me."

Zou Yue desperately glanced at him. He really wanted him to believe this information. "Chisato-san..."

"Just give a minute let me take all that in." He leaned back against the wall behind him and sighed loudly. "How do I prevent it?"

"There is no prevention, no cure.... nothing.... it's incurable. Please... please make sure to stay safe because once they turn there is no bringing them back. Even our loving family member can become our greatest enemy."

Chisato-san nodded. He gently patted his shoulders. "I believe you, brother. I will make all the predations but I will not be sending rain-san away he is family,"

"Good, quarantine yourselves. Make sure that you stock up on adequate water and food." He hugged him once again.

"Tell me, when will it end?"

Zou Yue let go of him and glanced at him with a sad smile. "There is no end to this....."

Chisato trembled a bit. "o—okay.....you take care as well. Take good care of your family. Survive."

"I will," Zou Yue walked back to his trolley and rolled it close to the gates. He took one last glance back. "I hope you and family will survive."

"yes.... I hope so too..."

Zou Yue waved at him and walked in. One hand he was pushing his trolley and on the other hand he gently caressed Trexa gran who was sleeping in his pocket.

Telling the truth to Chisato-san made him extremely nervous. 'He believed me, right? I hope he did. I hope they all will survive,'

He got his boarding pass. "Oh wait, I have a pet." He took out Trexa gran.

"You need a pet carrier, sir,"

"I have one," he placed Trexa inside of it. The little rat instantly woke up. She tried getting out. "Baby, it's just for a while.,"

"Squeak!!!" she protested, squeaking loudly at him.

"You can't travel like you did, that was illegal,"'

The little rat rolled her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes missy; you have to travel like this. It's just for a while and you will be free later on,"

To appease her, Zou Yue handed her a small choco chip cookie.

Trexa gran reluctantly accepted the cookie he passed into the cage and laid on the small bed.

"Good girl," Zou Yue handed the health check documents to the counter. "Can I take her in the cabin?"

"Yes, sir, it is allowed. Please place your pet on the weighing machine. Only five kg is allowed and only one pet per person is allowed to travel in a cabin."

The pet carrier came up to 0.5 kg. Trexa gran was okayed for flight.

They both got in and their journey to G city began.
