It was getting light when Garou woke up again. He hadn't slept much since he got out of there. Nightmares kept him awake most of the time. It wasn't because he was sleeping on that floor, he just fainted from pain or fatigue. He was sleeping so comfortably for the first time since that incident happened, he looked around, where the hell is the old man, seriously, he thought, he sighed, he wasn't planning to stay for too long, he would probably say goodbye to the bomb and leave after getting scolded. It might seem ridiculous to people, but he had been taught to respect his masters since his childhood, and he would respect this teaching even if he was no longer his students. Just like the old apprentice obeying his decision when he said he was not allowed in. He did what he had to do when he attacked back then, some things had to be done. It was what he had to do as his master's student, even if he didn't tell anyone the truth.

When the door of the dojo opened, he didn't go back there. Charanko probably came to look at him again, but it wasn't him. When I said I was starting to think he was dead, a voice froze and he turned his head there. said the old man in surprise. Bang was looking at her with his arms crossed in front of the door, looking angry. Garou's first thought was that he was probably angry that I came here. But he knew his master very well, and his facial expression showed concern as well as anger. Garou thought *ah, I'm in so much trouble*. He immediately stood up, leaned his left hand over his heart, bowed slightly and said, "He pays his respects to the former student Silver Fang." Bang sighed, examined her, "you can verify," he said. Garou obeyed the order.

Bang asked, "Did you forget to eat again? When was the last time you ate?" Garou scratched the back of his neck with his left hand and said, "Oh, I haven't had much opportunity lately." He thought to himself *for the last year*, of course he wasn't going to say this out loud, at least not yet. He seemed to have lost his temper, then his gaze fell on his bloody clothes on his arm, which were fixed to his body with some fabric. His aura pulsed and increased. "Old man, calm down," Garou said. Bang said, "What happened?" Garou looked away and remained silent. Bang took a deep breath and said, "Follow me." Garou nodded silently. Bang walked into the dojo and called out "Charanko". Charanko came, "hai shisho," he said, coming quickly. Bang said, "Call my brother and tell him that he needs to come here as soon as possible. Garou has arrived and it looks like the reason he is not around is not running away. And then prepare something to eat immediately." Charanko said "understood" and left immediately.

Garou silently followed Bang into Bang's private area. He sat on his knees on the cushion in front of the cushion on which Bang was sitting. Bang said, "Which one to eat or shower first?" Garou said, "There was no need for that, old man, and besides, you don't want to question him." Bang said, "I'm pretty sure you won't want to tell the same thing twice, so we'll wait for my brother for that." "Okay," Garou said quietly. "Also, it's absolutely necessary. When was the last time you ate something decent, or anything at all?" Bang asked. "Oh, I ate cookies with Tareo when I went to see him 2 days ago," Garou said after thinking for a while. "This is not a meal," said Bang angrily. "But you asked when was the last time you ate anything," Garou said innocently. Bang's eye twitched "when was the last time you had a proper meal?" he asked. Garou thought, leaning his left hand on his chin and tilting his head to the side, then squinted his eyes and muttered "hmm" thoughtfully, then said "Ah! I don't remember" honestly. Bang was pretty angry. Garou tensed as the powerful aura suddenly rose. Bang froze with this reaction and thought, "Damn, Charanko is right, let's start over again." It directly calms the aura it emits. Then he said calmly, "garou, look at me." Garou hesitantly raised his lowered head. He looked at her, the expression in his eyes completely dull and full of exhaustion. Bang sighed, let's get you cleaned up, then take care of your wounds and eat. Okay?" He said. Garoi sighed in resignation and shook his head. He got up. He followed his old master to the bathroom. Bang took him to the bathroom.

Garou was silent when they went to the bathroom. Bang sighed. He pulled out a stool. He helped Garou take off his clothes. His eyebrows were knitting more and more with the new and old wounds he saw. An intense aura began to rise from him. “shisho,” Garou said startled. Bang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then “who? What son of a bitch did this?” he said angrily. Garou remained silent.

 

Bang sighed and said, "Okay, I won't ask anything until I'm ready." Garou was relieved. Bang put his hand to his head. Garou relaxed, closing his eyes and leaning on his hand. Bang helped him sit on the stool. Bang “Do you want me to cut your hair? "It can be cleaned more easily that way," he said. Garou nodded silently. Bang took scissors and started cutting her hair short.

 

When he was done, he walked in front of him, squatted in front of him and said, "Now let's take off those things he used as bandages." Garou nodded silently. His right arm was tense. Bang said, “No problem, son, everything is fine.” Garou nodded. Bang started cutting the scraps of fabric with scissors. When he took it all off, his eyebrows were furrowed as he saw the hole in his shoulder. The wound looked pretty bad. There was a hole of the same size in the same line on the back. Bang took a deep breath to calm himself. He wasn't going to ask how the wound was. Garou began to tremble before he even lifted the fabric. It was obvious that this issue was traumatic for him.

 

After looking at the wound for a while, I asked, "Isn't the wound healing?" he said, knowing very well his body's regeneration rate. Garou shook his head "regeneration has stopped working for a while." He said quietly. Bang cursed angrily and said, "How bad is the damage?" Garou: “My arm doesn't work, it's just pain. "Some of the bones and nerves in that area are missing," he said. Bang cursed angrily. Garou remained silent. Bang sighed and said, "We will have to call a doctor for treatment." “Shisho,” Garou said nervously. Bang said, “Don't worry, you are an acquaintance, you will be safe.” Garou silently shakes his head, giving up.

 

 Bang started to wash it. He was as gentle as possible, trying to make sure she didn't suffer. Even though Garou was in pain, he was used to it; even though he was shaking slightly, he did not make a sound. When it was finally finished, Bang dried it. He wrapped her in a towel and sat her in a dry place, then said, "Wait here for a while, I'll bring clean clothes and a first aid kit." Garou nodded silently.

 

Bang left the room. Garou began to wait for him silently, his gaze becoming dull again. He was looking at the floor absently. She was so distracted that she didn't even hear Bomb, who entered the bathroom, until he spoke.

 

"We were starting to think the kid was dead," said Bomb. Garou was startled by the sound, he looked at it and said "Master Bomb" with respect. "You had us all worried," said Bomb. Garou bowed his head and said quietly, "I'm sorry." Bomb patted his head, “You forgot to eat again. When was the last time you ate?” he said with a sigh.

 

Garou looked away. His master and his master's brother definitely looked alike. Even the first thing they asked was the same. Bomb sighed as he looked away. Bang came in with clothes and a first aid kit in his hand and said, "We will bandage your wounds until the doctor arranges for you, and I brought clothes to keep you warm." Garou nodded silently.

 

Bang and Bomb took care of him and helped him get dressed. They wore a medical sling to provide more solid support for his arm, both wrapping his arm and fixing his arm to his body. His arm was now outside his clothing, but his arm was completely wrapped by the strap, which was like a sheath, so he stayed warm. They only had to administer basic first aid, but it was obvious that he was definitely in need of serious treatment. Garou looked tired.

 

When they came out of the bathroom, the smell of food permeated the dojo. Garou's stomach rumbled. “Looks like Charanko prepared the meal,” Bang said. They went to the kitchen. He was supporting Bang Garou. After a small check-up, they realized that there was a problem with his leg: it was broken in several places and the bones were fused incorrectly over and over again. Garou received a smack on the head from Bang Bomb for not saying anything about it.

 

Garou quietly said, “I'm fine, Shisho. “I can walk on my own.” Said. Bang said, "This won't happen, brat, so don't bother." He took him to the kosatsu and helped him sit down. He positioned his leg so that it was comfortable. He covered himself with the blanket. This way he would make sure he was warm. Charanko was glaring at Garou "what a stupid thing you did again" he said. Garou just rolled his eyes. “Stop being a brat, brat,” Charanko said. Garou grumbled and muttered "whatever" but didn't protest his shout. Charanko put food for him.

 

Garou started eating. Bang “don't eat too much or too fast. You've obviously been malnourished for a very long time. "If you suddenly eat heavy things and eat too much, it will have a worse effect on your well-being." Said. Garou nodded silently. Of course he was aware of this. He continued to silently drink the broth made by Charanko. The other three were watching him. Garou was aware of the eyes on him and muttered, "You should eat too." He thought that maybe if they ate, they would at least reduce the stares on him a little. They sat under the kosatsu for a long time while they finally ate.

Garou felt more peaceful and safe than he had in a long time. Charanko brought them tea after the meal was over. Bang “When you said Tareo, you were talking about that kid you saved just now, right?” asked. Garou nodded silently. Charanko laughed and said, “Does he really call you uncle? Does he not realize his age at all? said. "I already told him not to call me that because I'm not that old," Garou said. Bomb “did you tell him your age?” said. Garou remained silent. “Or not an adult,” Bang asked. Garou said, “The tea is nice.” All 3 of them muttered "idiot" at the same time. Garou “I was a wanted person. "If even one person found out the truth, I would be in trouble," he said. “They would have seen it if they had tried,” Bang said. Garou decided to act logically and remain silent.

Finally, after leaving the kitchen, they went to Bang's study. The three of them sat down. When Bang Charanko served tea and came out, he said "tell me". Garou hesitated and remained silent. "You can tell me later if you want," said Bomb. Garou shook his head and said, "It would be better if I explain and get rid of him." Bang and Bomb sighed and shook their heads. "So, after making sure that Tareo was in a safe place after the incident, I found a place to hide and passed out until my regenerative powers could fix my body even a little bit, at least until I could recover a little bit," Garou said. Bang and Bomb sighed when they heard that he had fainted. They should have gone after him and picked him up at that moment. If they had done that, maybe at least this wouldn't have happened to him. But they knew that if they went after him, the hero squad would also learn his location and capture him. That's why they only went after Garou after ensuring his safety first. But Garou was completely lost.

Garou paused for a moment and then continued, “Well, as you can imagine, after going against the league of monsters and villains, saving them, and attacking them, they were very angry, and they weren't very happy that I rejected their offer. I wasn't myself anyway, and even if I was myself, I don't think I could object much in that situation. "When I come to," he said, pausing.

 

His body was extremely tense, he clenched his fist, “I wasn't in the place where I fainted. I was in a cell. As I said, the Union was not very happy with what I did. "They were very angry. Frankly, I won't talk about what they did to me," he said, shaking. Bang clenched his fists angrily and was very angry. Garou “Honestly, I'm not sure how long it took them to find me, I was kept there for months, there was nothing left they didn't do to me bbb-I can't explain them, I just got rid of them, I'm not ready for this, I don't think I will ever be ready, there was only darkness and pain. The light was so low that it was not for me, but for those who came there. There was no food, no water, just the same cycle every day. Knowing my power of regeneration, they knew I would survive. That's why they didn't hold back. After a while, they stopped caring about the possibility of dying. After a while, my body gradually reduced regeneration until it stopped completely. "At least they stopped tearing off things that won't grow back after a while," he said, shaking. Bang and Bomb were furious. Garou: “It's been a few days since I escaped from there. They probably thought I was dead. "That's why they threw me out, I'm not sure what happened because I was unconscious at the time," he said. He wrapped his left arm around himself and was shaking. Even telling this had shaken him so much that he was shaking.

 

Bang hugged him tightly and said, "You are safe, you are safe, you are not there anymore." Garou had his head buried in his shoulder. He put the bomb in his hand. Garou was shaking, but with the support of the two of them, he relaxed a little. He was extremely exhausted. Bang said, “Let's take you to your room, get some rest.” Garou nodded silently.

 

***

When he woke up, Garou paused for a moment when he realized that he was in his old room. *everything is the same* he thought, looking around, the room was as if he had never left here, even the candles in the corner were still standing. There were 4 main directions and a candle in the center, each of them was a different color; yellow, red, blue green and purple. There was an incense on the table with the purple candle in the center. Everything was as if it had never been touched, except for the incense burner, it was obvious that it had been used constantly, and there was a smell of healing incense in the room. He had a severe psychological collapse yesterday and couldn't even remember how he got to the room. He looked out the window.

 

It was like the sun was just rising. He tried to sit up, but he froze in pain and groaned .  He thought , "I think it would be better if I lay down a little more." He reached back. He went back to looking out the window. His gaze became dull again as he looked outside. When the door opened, Bang came in. He was relieved to see that she was awake and came to her and said, "You're finally awake." Garou was startled by the voice and turned there, when he saw him he relaxed and said "shisho".

 

Bang patted his head and said "good morning". Garou “how long have I been sleeping?” asked. Bang rubbed his temples and said, “More than 1 day.” Garou groaned. Bang patted his head "How are you feeling?" said. “same, I'm exhausted and sore,” Garou said. Bang “you will be fine. "I promise," he said. Garou remained silent. Bang: “I talked to someone about the doctor. "they will come tomorrow," he said. Garou nodded silently.
