The entire car was silent, with Satoya looking over at the window, clutching onto a sheathed katana that Edward is constantly gazing toward. "Regulator licensed weapons are so badass!" Edward said in awe.
"Seems like a normal katana to me." Shizune sighed as she slumped over the seat from the trunk.
"Yeah because you are uncultured."
"What did you call me?" Shizune asked, offended.
"Regulator licensed weapons are properly made, or are designated to kill Wrehtcheds, Iyas or, other people." Rayna said calmly as she was in the middle of reading an article on the Official Regulators Committee website.
"Can't guns just annihilate anything?" Johnathan asked, finally shifting his headphones where one ear is out.
"Guns are ineffective towards anything that isn't human, it's like telling someone to kill a bear with 40 toothpicks."
Johnathan shrugged before putting his headphones back on.
"Isaac, can I have a piece." Shizune poked Isaac's shoulder. "No." He replied while grabbing a handful of chips and started eating them like a barbarian.
Rayna said something about Wrehtcheds and Iyas, what the hell were those again? Those monsters I keep seeing online?
"Satoya, I swear to God if you don't know what a Wrehtched or Iya is… I can read that expression very easily…" Rayna looked through the rear-view mirror.
"No duh he probably doesn't know, this guy zoned out for the entirety of middle and high school, yet somehow got above passing in every exam!" Shizune complained as she accidently dropped her phone and tried to reach for it.
"I actually do know.." Satoya sheepishly spoke.
"What!?" Everyone in the car made a loud gasp. "He remembered something!" Isaac held his head as if it was going to explode.
Wrehtcheds are creatures that are capable of self replicating. The actual origin of said creatures are unknown, some theorized it to be from a totally different world–reality maybe? But what the hell were Iyas again?
"Oh so you remembered that but not everything else?" Shizune teased.
While the roaring of the car ensued, Satoya felt a buzz from his pocket, and checked to see what it was.
There was a pop-up message on his phone.
Contract: Locate and subdue (or kill) the Alsaia Syndicate low ranker that is hiding inside Mt Kazoris mall.
Payment: 5000 Alikurs.
"5000 Alikurs…?"
"Dang, I could probably get paid more if I work at a fast food…" Shizune laughed.
Satoya blankly stared at his phone, simply debating whether this was truly worth it. He took a short glance at the sheathed katana that was disturbed by the presence of Edward who was still marvelling at the simple weapon.
Satoya took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and grabbed the sheathed katana.
"Can't turn back now, I guess?"
"Hey, if you are getting your ass beat, call me up, I'd love to punch whatever you are fighting." Isaac made a phone hand sign.
"You didn't even read the contract.."
"He can't help it, he's practically illiterate." Rayna glanced over the driver's seat drinking out of a canned drink labeled "caffeine overdrive." which is probably extremely unhealthy to even consume, especially in a can that is half a foot.
Satoya held out his phone, and showed the message he had received on his phone.
"Alsaia Syndicate? Why is the spelling of Alsaia familiar?" Rayna frowned, before shrugging it off. Meanwhile Edward seemed like he would once again have an outburst of excitement.
"It–"
Isaac urgently covered Edward's mouth, desperately trying to keep whatever he's going to say contained. "Holy f*** Not again! Who got the tape!?"
"Ooooh yeah, Alsaia Syndicate, it's like one of those criminal organizations, I forgot where though!" Rayna snapped her fingers.
Edward, who was getting practically strangled, finally calmed down, and was freed. "Always getting bullied, what is it because of my height?"
"No? It's because you won't shut up when you hear something you have an ungodly amount of knowledge on." Shizune exhaled.
Despite the fact Edward is getting downplayed quite often, the major reason is that yes, he will never shut up when he hears something that sounds like anything regarding 'Regulators, video games, all the criminal organizations,' He likely has more knowledge than that, however, it'll probably take 4 hours to get done with the tip of the iceberg.
Lastly, Rayna clapped her hands, placing the empty can of Caffeine overdrive, and yes, that's the drink name, and also yes, she drank all of it, somehow isn't getting a heart attack, but not as bad as Ailayn's caffeine problems back at the RC headquarter in the country.
"Well, let's drop off Satoya there then?"
