13. Is revenge justice ?
Sorry guys, for not uploading recently. I had some family issues going on, plus I had to focus on exams. From today I will update it daily.
Thank you so much for all your support.
Oh one more thing that I should mention, please guys don't take this story too seriously. It's just a horny guy's blabbering about his fantasies which he lives in his dreams.

After walking through some suspicious looking alleyways, finally we stopped at a building which looked like the backside of a bar or restaurant.
The boy who looked like a leader of this ragtag bunch, looked at me with slight pity mixed with determination. Well for a 11-12 year old to have such mature expressions, this world was sure fucked up.
He pushed me inside the room, with a dim light in a corner I could make out the shapes of some 7-8 guys present in the small room. Some were leaning on the wall, huddled together in a group of 2-3, some were watching two guys playing something on the only table available in the room.
All in all this was a proper hangout station for delinquents and robbers.
Everyone focused on us as we entered the room, even the guys playing stopped and looked at us or more precisely looked at me.
The burly looking guy with somewhat decent clothes then the rest stood up with expressions that screamed, 'ohh I am gonna enjoy this'.
Burly guy - Oh ! My my look at this..... Who has graced us with his presence today..!!
Everyone Snickered, and looked at me scornfully like I was a lamb ready to be slaughtered.
The burly guy walked in the middle of the room and gestured the guys in the back. Two ruffians came towards me and one of them punche me in the stomach without any warning. It almost made me throw my lunch.
' Fuck ! Who the hell are these shitheads, I was planning to just scare them and rob them but now they gonna fucking pay. '
The burly man took a seat in the middle of the room and said,
" So...Where were you past these days you filthy rat? "
Hikaru - I passed out due to the hunger and a kind shop lady looked after me.
Hikaru - Why don't the city guards capture you then ?
Gin - We...uhmm..paid the captain of the city guard.
Hikaru - Ahh of course.
The kids had gathered behind me in the middle of it, looking at their leader with a gaze that did not have even a hint of pity.
I looked at them once and their faces were firm and grim, but not hesitant at all. So I finished my job by piercing the most black heart of them all.
We left the slaughter house and reached the river near the outer skirts of the town. I washed myself and cooled down a bit.
I had killed a group of humans and the only thing I felt was a little aching pain in my right hand. I knew that by no means was I a good person but I would have never done something like this in my old world.
I guess Justice is the luxury of the powerful. Maybe I could do it because I was just simply able to. What a meaningless discovery.
I looked back at the kids and the leader was looking at me like he wanted to say something.
Hikaru - Why don't you guys run away?
Leader - What about you ? I don't know what happened to you out there, but we promised we will not betray each other long ago, if you still remember.
Hikaru - I am not the boy who was your friend, he is long dead.
Leader - Still, you saved us. You can come with us even if you are not him.
Hikaru - Where will you go ?
Leader - We will go somewhere where no one remembers us, Star a new life.
Hikaru - Good, I was thinking about heading north too. Meet me tomorrow at the city gate, where passenger carriages stand.
Leader - We..uhm... okay. We will be there.
