Chapter 169: Time is Running Out

『....What is this?!!! What is this!!!!! What's going on!!!!! No...No...this has to be a nightmare....you don't...why...sir...』

Hiro had in front of him that man who made a massacre recently, the little Hero didn't think that when he wanted to solve the problems of that good grandfather, he would meet that tragic event, first he saw when he arrived how the leader had died from a bullet in the skull, then he heard the multiple screams of the people being killed.

Hiro was still bleeding from the blades that the father stabbed through their arms and legs, instead of feeling pain Hiro was furious and confused.

『Why!!!! Why did you do all this!!!! You are a good father.... you have a big and good family, you have a wonderful son...but now your clothes are stained with blood.... you killed several men..... I believed in you!!! You were one of the few adults that I thought was different!!!! Your family....I thought your family was the most important thing....Answer me why!!!!』

It was an eternal night where those were having a big argument, Hiro was screaming with anger, with fear, confused, he wanted to shed tears, he was about to shed them but he shouldn't.....no....he doesn't know what to do in this kind of situations.....The father seeing Hiro like this, weakened his whole body and lowered his head.

『I did it for my family...I did it because I was afraid.....I did it because someone asked me to.....that voice.....that voice kept echoing inside me....but.....hahahahaha why did I do it?』

The father seemed to be paranoid, the little Hero noticing that it was the father and that he no longer showed signs of forcing, only the arms he had broken, this one let him go, the father sat on the ground, he showed no signs of even pain, it was just like he didn't care about anything anymore. Hiro did not understand anything he did not seem to feel anything either, the blades would still be there in his body.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The father would start to tell what happened to bring him to this situation, where Hiro would listen to try to understand.

The place where the father worked was a small company at the beginning, where he specialized in nothing more than taking advantage of other people to grow, the same companies that Hiro has been destroying these days. The father was the right hand of the leader of his organization, they have been at it for years and like a seed that bears fruit over time, here was a vine growing in the field choking the others. All these years he had lied to his wife that he worked in any company, they bought a house that would become this, at first there was nothing to fill it with, but little by little with the income they would get things to fill this new place with life, and in a short time they had a son. The father and mother were happy, here was where the father began to think, he could no longer do what he was doing and he had to leave this. He went to his leader to let him leave but the leader replied.

『We are friends and I have known you for a long time, but work is work, if you leave now what you love the most may disappear with a few simple orders』.

The father on hearing this was very worried, cornered between a rock and a hard place he had no way out of this and thought he could never escape this fate he put himself in.

『All right, I can't refuse such a good friend like you, you will be here for one more term and then you can leave, you are an important piece so let me squeeze you a little more, you just had a child right? that I don't discover your dark past big friend』

They were able to come to an agreement where the father was leaving happy at the end of the day, he will be able to leave this evil that has helped him all these years to start one where he can see his baby smile and to him respond with the same innocence and purity. Everything was going well, he was getting along well with his family, Hiro was coming to visit which made the place much happier, time went by and the term was about to end, the father was happy for this, he would finally leave this darkness of this well.....

But things are not as one wants, another company like them, much bigger decided to get into the same business, it was the company where those young people that Hiro interrogated work, besides exporting goods, also had more areas involved, and the most dangerous was that he could decide who lives and who dies, he reached such a point his power that he could control the small businesses of all, and as if it were a massacre, one by one from nowhere began to snatch their business.

『I have to finish them off...If not they will finish me off..... I must be the only one at the top...they won't let me down from here...This is the right thing to do..... I want to stop listening to that voice every day..... if I do what it says everything will be fixed..... die!!! die for my sake!!!』

They were the shouts of the leader of that company that was taking everything, this company was the same one who took his grandfather's job and many others that were growing. The father and his leader were worried, if this continues like this their organization will decay and dark times will come with them, their organization could also be destroyed by the same, they had already taken measures so that the young man with brute force would not discover them, they did not expect that someone of their own means would end up killing them.

The leader and the father were in a meeting thinking what they could do, it seems that from here the father was already starting to enter little by little into paranoid, out of nowhere he was starting from days ago to hear a voice in his mind that drowned him thousands and thousands of times.

『Kill.....If I kill him everything will be over...I don't want to listen to him anymore.....whose voice is this...but killing is the solution.....they say it is better to solve the problem at the root....so I can be with my family in a new life....Don't worry leader, this will be my last task, and then I can return to my family and smile as it always should have been』.

This meeting was the last of the many they had, it was held recently where the father had already made a decision, that voice was inciting him that if he did what he said all his problems would be solved and he would reach happiness, he was already fed up with that voice, it was not abrupt, nor was it shouting at him, it was a voice with nothing, you could not feel anything, if it was an annoying voice, it was a happy voice or it was as if they were giving you an order, that voice was null and that was the strangest thing of all. I wanted this to stop once and for all.

He infiltrated the organization in a way, he did not know where it was, only he was already there, he entered stealthily and killed the leader without hesitation, the father was confused, where did he learn this? how did he know about murder? Only he already knew, from one moment to another the father was already killing thousands and thousands of men, while he made his massacre the man was in nothingness, but it was a feeling of having taken a great weight off his shoulders. He felt happy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

『I finally did it.....at last that voice no longer heard him....my body feels light.....it makes me want to smile....』

The father finished telling what happened, just as he said, the father let out a warm smile that he gave to Hiro, the little Hero listening to this did not understand anything, he was more confused than before, but seeing the father smiling and the blood from the broken arms dripping it was as if he already knew what he had to do.

『....(Voice...another person saying I hear a voice.....I don't understand...this man I have in front of someone good or someone bad? I don't know...he fought for what he wants the most and ended up like this, I can feel it....his acting has evil....pero....he's smiling.....he's dripping blood....』

¡¡¡!!! Hiro was shocked to see what was happening, the father started to cry just like that with that warm smile, Hiro's mouth was trembling and he clenched his fist, seeing this he knew what he had to do, he hates himself for not doing it before, he has to help this person.

He silently decided to help this person, he did bad things, he thought things through but it didn't work, but he is a good person who didn't take the right path from the beginning and now he wanted to do it, he realized that it was wrong and for Hiro it is enough, the father has a chance to improve with this, but someone who has no chance to improve and who doesn't show him, or who is just a threat, then he will finish him for the good of everyone.

Hiro prepares to be able to carry him and take him to a hospital to recover, but he didn't expect this, a man on the floor who was stabbed in the stomach pulled himself together, in a pool of blood and with his last strength he would take his gun and shoot without further ado.

『I don't think!!! I'm not going to die like this!!!! You will go to hell with me!!!!!』

That guy fired his gun without further ado, the sound of the bullet approaching was imminent, Hiro was alerted as the bullet was directed towards the father, the little Hero without hesitation opposed it by placing himself in the middle, the bullet wouldn't do anything to him so everything is fine, or so it should have been.....The ashes rising from his foot fluttered madly.

.....Sin more the bullet went through Hiro's body without him hurting him, but the bullet ended up hitting the father in the chest somehow, Hiro couldn't react, the man who shot ended up passing away right there, where he would soon be joined by his killer.

『I did a good job.....now my family.....my wife and son will be fine...what a happiness.....thanks for all the good times you gave me.....thanks to you too Hiro, keep being a good boy...』

With a smile that gradually faded, he was already making the corpse of the father who died in a strange way. Hiro was shocked, he didn't understand what was going on, he didn't like this....because again he is the only one standing.....because he is the only one again that nothing was taken away from him.

『Why..... why...why can't I save anyone..... am I not a Hero anymore?...』

Hiro without further ado left the place jumping from building to building, again leaving the people alone and abandoned without giving them a hand of hope. He did not realize it, but someone was listening and stealthily hid in all this, it was Rikao who was passing by and did not avoid to see what was happening, he could witness the truth of all this.

Hiro, without further ado, touched his head in confusion, stopped at a building and screamed with all his strength, the black ashes on his feet grew bigger and fluttered madly.

『I have to find the answer fast.....I have to find the answer fast.....then everything will be all right....I don't want to....I don't want to not know what I have to do...』

He just rolled into a ball with all the worry on his mind, just like that after all this time and days kept passing. For sure this is why his Hiro activities increased much more than he imagined, he ends up with more organizations in record time, one after another, clandestine and bad bosses taking advantage of others.

That was where he could finally reach the organization where the father worked, he destroyed it without further ado and Hiro had the leader in front of him, Hiro's appearance was terrible, his dark circles were more present and could be seen in those gray eyes of explosion, like squiggles of black lines moving wildly without control.

『Hey....tell me.....for you I'm already a Hero.....for you I am what I am.....』

Those were the words of Hiro who was staring at the leader, the leader knew that this was it, that finally his time had come, without further ado he gave himself to Hiro, the little Hero gave him a small blow on the neck that left him unconscious, when he woke up the leader realized that he was in prison ready for a trial, he noticed that all his workers were with him.

『I wonder what happened to my friend..... he left at a good time, right now he must be with his family on his way to a new life』.

The leader was looking at the ceiling smiling happily for his friend. Hiro was passing by to buy some food with the hood already on its last legs, where on the way either because he was careless or because he didn't care about anything anymore, he ran into the mother who was carrying her son in a cart.

『Eh? Hiro, is that you? It's good to see you again』

The mother addressed him, Hiro was surprised by this, in his look again you could see these moving scribbles. They had a little conversation or something, for as the mother asked him, Hiro just shook his head yes or no.

『Our son misses you a lot, you haven't been coming home lately, he's been a bit bored these days, besides the last thing my husband told me is that he's going on a business trip, so this will take a long time 』

Hiro hearing this was a little surprised that he wiggled his fingers, maybe the father before he did what he did ,he knew that this could not end and in case it goes wrong tell his family a little lie. To give his family a little moment of happiness that he would have been happy to be present for. The baby was in his stroller making gestures and moving his hands, Hiro seeing this smiled and with his fingers he played with the baby.

The mother noticed that Hiro was in a not very good state, she could see that he was tired, that he had not rested since that time he passed by her house, but she could not notice the blades he had nailed because the cloak covered them.

『Tomorrow is finally the day, the Band Festival, you should go Hiro, so I hope your attitude will improve and always show that dynamic smile you have, fist up!!!! Right? hahahaha』 -『You should know it very well Hiro, you have experienced it yourself, music makes you regain happiness』.

The mother worried about Hiro, it was the words of a mother worrying about her son , she gave him a ticket that originally would be for the father, but since he won't be there she gives it to Hiro, it was time to say goodbye where Hiro waved his hand saying goodbye to the baby, the mother caresses Hiro's head where she also says goodbye.

『See you later』.

!!!.....The voice he heard was the father's, Hiro raised his head and for seconds he could see the image of the father next to his family, he was smiling and his happiness was noticeable, where little by little the image ended up disappearing. Hiro wanted to raise his hand and go to tell him what really happened, but he could not, he could only see how that family was leaving on their way home.

"Excuse me, but I need to talk to you』.

A policeman arrived who after many days of searching was finally able to find the person to notify her of what had just happened to her husband. The baby turned around as he felt Hiro would walk to him, but there was no one in that place. Again Rikao who was passing by could see everything, see the truth of what was happening.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the beginning of the next day, Hiro was coming out of a building with a mountain of downed men and the leader of this organization. But he didn't expect that when he came out, the men behind him had set a trap for him.

A barrier, a huge dome enclosed Hiro, where several patrolmen, officers and armored cars and even tanks had appeared to stop Hiro

『Let those men go!!!』

An officer was talking on the horn, Hiro hearing this was perfect for him, he threw the men towards them, so in a faster way they could arrest him, but Hiro didn't understand why the officers after helping those men were pointing their guns at him.

『Eh? At me? But they are the bad guys.... I am...huh? What am I?....A Hero should always be with a smile but I right now.....even if I want to I can't get it out.....』-『Tell me what I am.....I need to know, so everything will be all right』.

Hiro without further ado would start whispering to raise his voice higher, amidst the sight of all the police and armaments, the officer with the horn would give the order.

『In the name of the law, Ishigami Hiro is arrested, in short you have broken so many laws that it would take us a day if I told them, don't resist----- 』

The officer kept talking where Hiro didn't understand what was going on, but every officer was on the lookout for Hiro's action, the little Hero had his eyes down, but this one was surprised to see a young officer who was trembling, his gun kept shaking, he was afraid, he was afraid of Hiro.

『Eh?.....Espera....am I scary to you? No, this shouldn't be like this, when people see me they should be happy, they should show a smile, why don't you show a smile? Is it because .... I'm not a Hero?』

As he was talking Hiro was watching the young officer, who out of fear missed a bullet firing without further ado, Hiro's appearance was scary, besides with those blades stuck in his arm and legs were still there.

The bullet did not do anything to Hiro, the little hero kept walking slowly towards the young officer who was uncontrollably afraid.

『Don't cry anymore, I'm here, I will destroy the one who makes you cry, smile, yes, it's easy, you just have to do this .....』

Hiro when he could no longer move his muscles to smile as he always does, with the help of his fingers he opened his mouth and smiled, instantly the young man screamed in fear, his scream flooded the place, the smile that Hiro showed was gloomy, trying to imitate his own smile that was already a long time ago.

All this time the officer on the horn was telling Hiro to stop or they will open fire, but Hiro was not paying attention as usual.

『Open fire!!!!!!』

Without further ado everyone who was equipped fired at Hiro with open fire, the sound of ammunition could be heard, but Hiro without further ado kept walking, nothing would stop him from helping that officer in fear.

POMM!!!!!

Hiro was confused and looked up to see who it was, he was a bit surprised because the guy in front of him seemed to be someone from the future, who wielded his hand like a sword.

『So you're the one causing trouble, if you're a problem in the future then we should also eliminate you』.

The guy who appeared was Arashi from Ninjinrot, where his companions also appeared surrounding Hiro.

『But he's just a little kid, how can he cause so much havoc』.

A girl with a tall stature appeared, carrying a weapon from the future appeared, she was Arashi's partner from the same organization, Rin.

『She may be a child, but what she does is on a universal level, she might even be worse than the Queen of Darkness』....』

A boy who carried a katana from the future also showed up, he was Oboro from the same group and organization.

These 3 are the boys from the future who warning of the impending chaos and destruction that will be in the future at the hands of the Queen of Darkness, being warned that there is someone worse than that threat they did not hesitate and would go to eliminate that.

『Being a threat, in the name of Ninjinrot and for a better place we will have to eliminate you!!!!! Attack!!!』

Arashi gave the order and without further ado they attacked Hiro, Oboro with his katana and Arashi with his hands would attack up close, while in support would be Rin who would be from afar.

Hiro didn't oppose, better said he didn't walk, he stayed still in the same place, Arashi and Oboro without further ado attacked Hiro from different parts of detecting.

POMM!!!! The attack hit him squarely, but Hiro showed no signs of discomfort, without further ado both of the close attackers decided to get serious and it's better to finish fast, they decided to use their best techniques.

『Lights 1000% Attack!!!』

Arashi shouted without further ado, from the wings of the future he had built in came out multiple lightning bolts that would go after Hiro, hitting each one directly.

『Jade Hologram!!!』

Oboro shouted without further ado, a hologram bigger than him appeared above him as his sword got bigger, without further ado he attacked Hiro where again the attack made a direct hit, dust and explosions were present.

『MegaLacer Impact!!! 』

Rin who was far away had time to arm a much larger weapon, thus creating a large cannon of the future who would attack with everything. Without further ado there was a big flash where again the attack would hit Hiro without further ado. But this time Hiro reacted, he stretched his arms to receive the attack.

The trio waited for the smoke to disappear to see if they succeeded or not, where each one was surprised to see the little boy standing without any scratch. They could not believe what they were seeing.

『Hoygan, there are innocents here..... if you really care about the future, a better place, you should look around!!!』

Hiro shouted without further ado, he stretched his arms so that the attack would not go past him and attack those present, the officers were left with nothing to say, at Hiro's words,Rin apologized in all sincerity.

『I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry!!! I didn't mean to!!!』

After the apology, Arashi seeing how strong Hiro is and that lately he has been causing havoc, he had to stop him anyway, he is a threat that we have to be prepared for, he gave the order where he attacked Hiro without further ado.

『They already did a lot, I'll be the one to bring a promising tomorrow....』

Without further Hiro with an incredible speed and a light punch knocked out each of them, the trio of the future could not against the little Hero. Without further Hiro seeing that he no longer had to do here, he left taking a great leap and in the process destroying with great ease the energy barrier that was placed on him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiro went from building to building, thinking about what he should do today, since the day has finally arrived and he still doesn't have an answer. Hiro was frustrated by all this, but he would not back down and go to be with him anyway.

Hiro without further ado knocked on the door of Rikao's house, even though he knocked and knocked there was no sign of him being there, but that's normal, he's a busy man and is rarely home, the little Hero was already about to leave when he bumped into Rikao as he turned around.

『.....Rikao』

Hiro was confused but at the same time happy, but at the same time sad, Rikao just looked at him and with his gaze gave him a little check on his appearance, where the adult sighed without further ado.

『Damn, what have you been doing all this time? you should take care of yourself, I'm always telling you, look, you even have blades stuck in your body *sigh* come in, come in, you're really hopeless, do you want a candy? yes?』

Rikao worried but knowing how to handle the situation went to Hiro, who acted as he normally is even offered him a candy, Hiro didn't know what to say, but for some strange reason being close to Rikao, the little Hero felt good about himself.
