Chapter 281: Idiots never learn.
Haru awoke to the sounds of his parents talking right outside his bedroom door. He couldn't quite make out what they were talking about, but as he turned his head to see the sun beaming in through his window, he figured that it was time to wake up and get out of bed.
He quickly got dressed and then approached the door, but as he did so, the door handle to his room twisted, and the door opened to reveal Luke standing with a smile on his face.
"Wakey wake- Oh, you're already awake? Well, that's no fun. I was hoping to wake you up like I did when you were a kid." Luke looked as though he had received mental trauma of some kind as he looked at Haru with pitiful eyes.
"You do realise that I am a full-grown adult, right?" Haru asked to confirm that his father knew how old he was, but as he looked at Luke for a moment, he sighed. He already knew the answer to his own question. Of course, he knew. Luke was just acting like a child again.
"Well, anyway, I have to take a trip to the cafe today to file some paperwork. Are you coming with me? I will have one of the employees give you some training while I get everything sorted." Luke asked with a smile. It had only been a day since he had requested Haru to work for help out at the cafe, and he was already trying to drag him along.
'Already? I thought that he was talking about the future. But I guess I could go. It's not like there is anything else that I have to do anyway.' Haru thought as he looked at his father with a smile.
"Sure, Why not?" Haru stated and then asked himself with a sigh. He was waiting to do something productive, and that had just given him a reason to.
Although he had been lounging around the house, Haru made sure that he wasn't wasting any of his time. He was still cultivating and trying to collect as much Qi. But he also didn't know what to do with his power now that he had gotten so strong.
He felt useless even though he held so much power, which was putting a lot of strain on him. If he reacted severely to anything or lost his temper at someone, he could very much end up killing them without meaning to.

So he thought that it would be good for him to stay at his parent's house for a while to reduce the amount of stress that he might feel while living in Japan again. But that was only something he could bear for so long. He quickly got bored but didn't have anything else to do, so he continued wasting his days.
'I have no friends here, so this might be a good chance to make a few.' Haru thought as he began to feel lonely being on his own again. But that was when he quickly realised something.
'What about Jake? He should still be in Japan. Right? He never replied to me, though.' He thought before quickly running to his laptop and opening his messages.
"What are you doing? I have to be there soon. You don't have time to play around on your computer." Luke said, sounding frustrated that Haru had suddenly run to his computer.
"It's nothing. I will be there in a few minutes. I'm just letting Jake know that I'm back in Japan. Maybe he will pay a visit sometime?" Haru said as he loaded up his message history with Jake to see a long list of new messages.
"Urm, Haru, how do I tell you this?" Luke asked himself as he saw how excited Haru looked as he looked through his laptop.
"Tell me what?" Haru asked before reading one of the messages on the screen.
"Hey bud, If you are reading this, then that means you woke up at last. Congratulations. I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person to congratulate you, but as soon as the whole Shanghai ordeal took place, I was stationed in Okinawa.
We have a force here that is ready to help out if the battleships decide to use power against the Chinese government, But for now, we are just hoping for the peace talks to go through.
None of us even know what the deal is, but the US has just decided to move ahead and threaten china even after knowing that we have a treaty signed with them.
The tension is high down here, and there are talks of a full-scale war breaking out if nothing is solved. But don't worry too much. I can still message people when I'm not on duty, so hit me up when you see this." Haru finished reading the first of many messages just as Luke began to talk.

"Well, Jake is currently stationed at a military base. After graduating, they shipped him all the way to Okinawa because of the current situation in China." Luke said with a look of regret on his face, almost as though he had previous;y been hiding the fact.
But Haru didn't care too much about it. He figured that his parents just didn't want to add to the stress that he felt now that he was back in Japan and just avoided mentioning it to him.
"Yeah, I know. I just opened his messages now. I didn't realise the situation was that bad, though. Apparently, most of the people there think that war will break out if the peace talks are dragged out for too long." Haru said with a serious expression on his face as he quoted what Jake had said in the message.
"They're talking about war!? Wait, when did that become an option? I thought that the whole thing would blow over soon enough. I thought that they would have gotten the message when the great mage destroyed their capital.
Who would have thought that they would have a president that didn't learn from the past and then try to attack other countries after knowing what happened to them in the last war?
What can I say? Idiots never learn." Luke smiled as he thought about how the last war ended. He was there to see the end of the war, so he knew better than anyone what had gone on.
But little did he know that his son and the person he was talking to was the person who ended the war. It was Haru who had ended the war between Japan and the US in the past, and he was most in disbelief by it.
He made it very clear what would happen to them if they tried anything else, so he didn't think that they would even begin to make a move.
"Or they have learnt from their mistakes, and they are confident that they will win?" Haru replied as Luke's eyes widened.
"You're right. It's been nearly forty years since then, and they have kept relatively quiet until now. So why would they do something like this if they were still living in fear?
Maybe they have managed to develop a new weapon or something?" Luke asked with a curious expression before it slowly fizzled out once again.
"Ah, who cares? I've done my part for the country. I'm not going back to fight if something does happen. I will just take it easy and watch everyone else make a fool out of themselves." Luke said with a smile and then looked over at Haru, who was now resting his cheek against his hand while his elbow was on the edge of his desk.
'He's right. There's no way that they would come out of hiding now if they thought that they would be defeated again. So that must mean that they have something up their sleeves. And if they know about the demon technology, then it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they have someone from the demon race helping them.
If that's the case, then I will slaughter them all. I will never forgive them for what happened. They took my two best friends away from me and killed my girlfriend, so I will kill all of them until I get revenge.' Haru thought as a sinister smile washed over his face.
He wasn't as bad as they were for sure and didn't plan to kill any innocent people, but if it was a demon that had come to earth, then that meant that they were up to no good.
Earth was so far out in the lower realm that no one in the middle realm had even heard of it. So how could they find it if they weren't looking for it? But as he concluded that the demon clan might be behind the US gaining strength and attempting to start another war, Luke laughed.
"Yeah, right, I doubt they could create knives after what the great mage did to them. Are you ready now? We should really get going." Luke said with a smile before walking outside and waiting in the car for Haru to catch up with him.
"Hey, I'm glad to hear you're doing okay. I am a little busy now, but I will reply when I get the chance. Be safe out there, my old friend." Haru smiled as he sent a message to Jake and then walked outside to join Luke in the car before driving to the cafe.
