Chapter 40.5 – Sage's Fate
Rezald POV
My name is Rezald Insra well… at least not at first… my life seem insignificant compared to others but… I will still tell my past… this is a tale of a boy with great destiny… ahaha… its kind of funny if I start off like this considering my situation… destiny is harsh… being born, I thought because of my destiny… I would be living a happy life… I was wrong… I wish I wasn’t born in the first place… if only… then… Sirian wouldn’t have…
It all started when I was born…
???: Miss Tiun!! Push!!!
Tiun: UUuuuaaaggghhhhh!!!
???: I can see the head!!
Tiun: Aaaarrrggghhh!!!
???: Its… a boy!!!
???: Is it done?
???: My Lord, Nutos!
Nutos: I need to see him…
Tiun: Look… my dear… he has the same green hair and eyes as you do.
Nutos: Ohh! I can feel a lot of earth essence within him. You’re name shall be Maltran!
Maltran: Uuu… uwaaah!!! Uuuwwaaaahh!!!
???: Hehh… my little brother huh… then I guess I’ll have someone that I can trust once I am clan leader, hahaha!
Nutos: You’re not going to be leader, Galidus… it seems he was born with… sage potential!!
Galidus: What!? This runt! What is that sage potential!!??
Tiun: Don’t talk about you’re brother like that!
Nutos: I know normally the eldest will become the leader of the earth clan but… he is an exception… the sage potential comes at least once every ten thousand years…
Galidus: Tch! I won’t accept that!! I will be leader!
Nutos: No! It is decreed by his fate!
Galidus then grinded his teeth, his eyes bulged as he was completely furious he then left without saying a word.
Tiun: Dear…
Nutos: Don’t worry, nothing will happen to him.
Tiun: …
6 years passed and I was playing at the forest near our castle. As I walked further… I found a patch of flowers near a tree… as I approached it I found a girl with red hair with a long braid behind her and orange eyes. She was wearing red dress that is quite simple. As I got closer, she notices me.
???: Ah! I-I’m so sorry! My mother told me not to go here but… I just want to see the flowers that she told me about…
As she was going to run away, I chased her and shouted:
Maltran: Waaaiiittt!!! Don’t worry!! I won’t tell anyone!!
???: Really?
She said while slowing down… as for Maltran… he lost his footing as the girl catches him…
???: You should be a little more careful!
Maltran: Ehehe… sorry…
Sirian: My name is Sirian!
Maltran: I’m Maltran! Hey want to be friends?
Sirian: Sure!
Maltran: You can come visit me anytime!!
Sirian: B-but I’m not allowed to enter here…
Maltran: Don’t worry! If we find a spot where no one can find us then we’ll be okay.
I smiled as I rubbed my nose and grinned… I then noticed that my brother was in the forest too with some people so I dragged her around the forest until we found a cave. 3 years had passed and when I am not with her I was with mother…
Maltran: How about here?
Sirian: I guess here is okay.
Maltran: Then it’s settled! We will meet here tomorrow.
I still remember that time… haha… what a cliché way to meet… I REGRET IT… and when I am not with her, I was always with mother…I REGRET IT…
Maltran: Mother! I wish to be as strong as father then I promise to protect you and Sirian!
Tiun giggled as she smiled warmly at Maltran.
Tiun: I know you will! Also… I don’t think you should meet with her anymore…
Maltran: Why!?
Tiun: Wait till you’re older… if she is found… then…
I should have listened to her…
Maltran: No!! Mother I hate you!
I ran while crying… why did I say that?
Tiun: Maltran! My dear! Wait!
Maltran: Uuuu…
???: …Heh…
Tiun: …
Why did I leave her… Is the world really that cruel…?
A day has passed and it seems like they found mother’s severed hand on a pile of blood… I ran… I ran away from my helplessness again… I then went to the cave to meet with Sirian… I found her… her dress was unkempt…
Maltran: Siriaaan!!! Uuuwaaahhh!!! Mother… she… uuu-uuuu!!!!
Sirian stroke my head… as I look at her I notice a little blank expression on her face… why didn’t I realize back then… it then slowly fades as the light in her eyes came back as she smiled gently while comforting me… as I look at her… my heart starts beating faster… I need her… I want to be with her… she was the only one I had left… the only one… I fell for her since then…
4 years had passed and it had been the same routine as always… I was being trained to be the next leader… Galidus was ignoring me… and I was meeting with Sirian… everyday was fun with her… we always played and go around the forest. Then one day…
Maltran: Sirian…
Sirian: Hmm? What is it Maltran?
Maltran: I love you! Will you marry me when I am the clan leader?
Sirian then cried as tear flowed from her eyes she then smiled innocently as I then blushed…
Sirian: No matter what you’ll accept me?
Maltran: Yes!
She then hugs me tightly as a smile was showing on her face she then shoved something in my pocket I found it later and decided to keep it with me at all times… it was a crystal… she was extremely beautiful… every boy in the city wants her and knowing that she chose me… I felt like I was the happiest man on the world… suddenly that smile went dark as she frowns… the blank expression came back but I didn’t see it as I was still hugging her… my heart was beating so fast with joy… why… why… WHY!!!
A month has passed since then and it seems that father has died… I didn’t know about it much… at least until the next day came… my brother called me and it seems like he was sitting on father’s throne… with a group of mages beside him…
Maltran: U-uhm… I don’t think you should sit there… father will be angry…
Galidus: Father!? Didn’t you hear father is already dead! I killed him!!
Maltran: This can’t be… but why…?
It was obvious…
Galidus: Why? WHY!? It is because I wanted to be the leader! Everything was going smoothly until you came!
Maltran: Just because of that you killed him!?
I was clenching my fist while my rage was at his peak… even if father became ruthless and strict towards me since mother’s death… he and brother were the only family I had left… and now… as I was approaching brother… I felt a barrier blocking me… it was the group of mages besides him…
Maltran: Brother!!!
Galidus: Don’t call me that!! From now on we are not siblings!!
My mind went blank… I started crying… I didn’t know what was happening anymore… as I look towards his direction… another group came… they were holding Sirian… they were all looking at her with weird expression… I seem to notice that she was quite beaten up… she had a blank expression on her face but as she look towards me she smiled gently… why are you smiling at me like that at a time like this… what is happening… then I saw Galidus grin… I shivered as if a premonition was coming… My face went dark while crying… I hesitated to ask…
Maltran: Sirian… what are you doing here…?
Sirian: …
Sirian didn’t anwer… she just smiled as tears started to flow from her eyes… Galidus then signaled the group of men to give her to him… he then grabs her chest first and fondles it as he rips her top apart…
Maltran: What are you doing to her!!!!!
My eyes bulged in anger… my veins started pooping out from my face… I tried to smash the barrier with my fist until it was completely bleeding as some of my flesh got torn of as well as some of my bones in my hand was showing… but I ignored it all… trying to save her… I tried to use magic but it was no use… it was too weak… if only I was stronger…
After ripping her top he started licking all over her while looking provokingly at me… he played with her breast until there were marks as he even bite it at times… from the start Sirian was just shaking she tries to move her arms to push him away but it seems like she was paralyze and can’t do anything…
Maltran: I’ll kill you!!! I’ll kill you!!!! I”LL KKIIILLLL YYYOOUUUU!!!!!
Afterwards he rips of her bottom… as he looks at me… my expression became unsightly as it resembles a beast on a rampage… my brother then smiled further… he then slowly takes off his pants as he got closer to Sirian… Sirian trembled she started shouting and crying… this agitated me further and tried to smash the barrier again… I was starting to get dizzy… I was losing too much blood…as his person enters her… she cried as she helplessly didn’t struggle anymore…
Maltran: Si…rius…
Sirian: …
She looks at me and smiled… please don’t… please don’t look at me like that… I was going crazy…
Galidus: Do you see this Maltran!! Do you see thiisss!!! Did you know? I killed her parents!! I killed mother and father!! Then I am going to kill you! Hahahaahahah!!!!
Sirian’ expression went blank… I then realized that the expression she was making was quite familiar… it can’t be…
Galidus: Oh!! That face! So you finally realized! I have been doing this to her ever since the time you found that cave… it has been a wonder why she always return… don’t tell me… Sirian you love me?
Maltran: Lies!!!! Lies… Lies!!
Sirian then scowled at Galidus and tries to speak as some of the paralyzing effects were wearing off…
Sirian: The… one… I… love… is… Maltran…
Maltran: Sirian…
Galidus: Oh? Then I’ll give you a choice… become mine and leave this runt or I’ll kill you.
Sirian: Never…
Galidus: You really are stubborn, men you can have some fun with her.
???: Ohh!!
???: Finally!!
???: Boss is quite generous… huhuhu…
Maltran: Nnnooo!!! Let Sirian go!!!
???: Sorry boy, we have been holding back for quite a while.
???: Yeah, tasting a rare beauty like her is worth it…
???: Stop us if you can!! Hahaahah!
Galidus: Now, now…
Galidus snicked as he laughs at my helpless expression.
Galidus: Enough of that, I think she is waiting to taste you all. Right? Si-ri-an? Hahahaah!!
As the men kept having their way with her… I remain lifeless on the floor… hours passed and I was still lying on the floor with a blank expression… all my tears have dried up to the point that sometimes blood was flowing out of it… as they finish… all of them had satisfied faces as my brother stood up. He then unsheathes his sword and slowly approaches her…
Maltran: No… please… stop… why didn’t you… kill me instead… why…
Galidus: Why? It is because I despise you, I wanted to see that face all along. You deserve it, you tried to steal everything from me.
Maltran: …
I didn’t have any strength to talk further… I then look at her as our gazes met…she was looking at me as if saying goodbye… Sirian… don’t leave… me…
Sirian: Goodbye… Maltran… I love… you… tele… port…
My body started glowing as did the crystal she gave me as I disappeared from their sight…
Galidus: !!?? How did he get his hands on a teleport crystal!! The only place you can find one in this city is in our treasury…
Sirian: Hahaha…
Galidus: You!?
Sirian: I wish we had the chance to spend more time with you… my beloved fiancé… Maltran…
Raging with anger, Galidus closes in to Sirian and stabs her chest with his sword as she closes her eyes and smiled knowing that Maltran is safe… Galidus then burns her body to ashes and fed some of it their beasts and used them to find Maltran… Maltran didn't know that they were fated to be since the start.
I then woke up… I found that I was in the middle of nowhere… I was I a vast meadow with only grass as far as I can see… all around me was calm as if just moments ago I was within an endless nightmare…I took out the crystal with my severely injured hand… as I saw that its previous golden luster was gone… reality hit me… Sirian saved me… realizing this tears started flowing again with a mix of blood as I unsheathe a dagger that I always kept hidden for self defense…
I then tried to stab myself… but suddenly… my other arm moved to stop myself… why can’t I kill myself… please… just let me die… a little later I realized why I can’t do it… it is because Sirian… she chose to die then choose him… she sacrificed herself to help me… Sirian… if fate wanted me to live in agony then so be it… fate… I’ll let you choose…
It is because of this earth essence that this all started… then… I will change it… I’ll imbue myself with another element… mostly those who do this will have a 95% chance of dying… if I died then so be it… I started to imbue myself light element… I writhe in pain as it continued for hours until I fainted and as I woke up I felt that the pain wasn’t subsiding… it has continued for a month… I was starting to think it was weird for me to survive without food and water for a month but the thought was let go of as the overwhelming pain overtakes my whole body. Another week has passed and the pain was slowly subsiding… as the pain completely went away… I stood up… I seem to notice that my hair was golden with a few strands of green. My left eye became golden colored as my right remained the same.
Maltran: Why… I should have been dead… Gods!!! Why are you so cruel to let me live… this accursed earth essence is still within me… what is up with that!? Am I destined to be cursed!!?? TELL MEEEE!!!!
???: It is because I didn’t let you die.
Maltran: Wh-who are you?
Genbalt: I am known as Genbalt.
Maltran: G-Genbalt!? The God of the Earth and Sky?
Genbalt: That’s me.
Maltran asked as a mirror appeared out of nowhere… as Genbalt smiled gently at the boy.
Maltran: Why would someone like you talk to someone who curses his own earth essence…
Genbalt grinned as he mischievously says…
Genbalt: You tell me… what are you doing here in the infinite meadow?
Maltran: The infinite meadow… you mean the meadow that causes miracles?
I didn’t know if I were to laugh or cry… the infinite meadow is a place where all wished to find… just like other places called the “God’s Sanctuary”, where it is directly governed by a God, it is a place where you can get power beyond belief or miracles out of bounds from reality… only those with no thoughts of using it for their greed can enter.
Maltran: I should have died… why has fate prevented me so…
Genbalt: Maybe there is still something that you need to do… isn’t there something?
Maltran: I want to avenge Sirian… and kill my brother…
Genbalt: Well, if that is what you want to do then I won’t stop you…
Maltran: Wait… aren’t you one of the God’s that is against killing?
Genbalt: Yes.
Maltran: Then why…?
Genbalt: Because you will save more than you will kill.
Maltran: How do you know…!? Is it because your God!!??
Genbalt: Because I can see kindness within you.
Maltran: …
Genbalt: Speechless? Well all I can say is I trust your fate. Even if it is harsh now… that doesn’t mean that it will stay like that? Don’t you want to save the girl besides you?
Maltran: Eh? Wh-what did you say!?
Genbalt: Anyways… you’re time here is almost up…
Genbalt said as Maltran’s vision was slowly fading…
Maltran: Wait!! What did you mean!!??
Genbalt: I don’t know who it is but… I know one thing… you will meet someone amazing in the future and if you find him you must follow him by then your fate will slowly shift… we’ll need to hide your identity as it seems there are people trying to find you… hmm… ahh!! for now your name shall be… Rezald… Rezald Insra!! Thou have been renamed!!
Rezald: When will I meet that person!! Tell mmeeeeee!!!...
Everything went all white as my eyes forcibly closed… suddenly I felt that someone was poking my head… it was a girl… she had green hair and blue eyes…
???: What are you doing here sleeping near the river?
As I look around… I see trees everywhere… it seems like I was in a forest…
Rezald: I don’t know…
???: Did you lose your memories?
Rezald: No… who are you?
Mosie: My name is Mosie, how about you?
Rezald: My name is Mal… Rezald.
Mosie: I see… well we should head to my village… you seem severely wounded… lets have you patched up.
Rezald: Okay…
As we enter the village called Trajil everyone around us was quite active and joyous.
???: Mosie where have you been?
Mosie: Ah! Yora… I was in the forest trying to get water by the river.
Yora: I see… then who is this?
Nillie: Yeah! Tell us, who is your handsome friend?
Mosie: He is Rezald and it seems that he doesn’t have a home.
Nillie: Why don’t you stay with us?
Rezald: Thank you for your help but I should really be goi…
Yora: I don’t like him… he seems weak…
As I heard him, I then glared at him as it seems I have developed quite the hatred towards my helplessness… I want to be strong… to avenge everyone…
Yora: Hah! Are you looking for a fight!? Come at me!
Yora said as he unsheathes his sword and I unsheathe my dagger…
Nillie: Not this again…
Mosie: Hahh…
As we continue to trade blows time has passed and night came… we were both panting as we were lying on the ground.
Yora: You’re strong…
Rezald: You too…
Yora then grinned as well as Rezald. They both reached and shook their hands.
Yora: You’re strong so I’ll introduce myself to you… my name is Yora.
Rezald: My name is Rezald.
Yora: Nice to meet you Rezald.
Mosie: Are you boys done? It is time for dinner! Rezald come with us! I already asked my mother to let you stay at our inn.

Rezald: I-I can’t I don’t have any mon…
Mosie: You can just help us while your living there!
Yora: Yeah! Rezald, come with us!
Rezald: I-I… (Are they the people that Lord Genbalt mentioned to be amazing? If so then I will just go through with it…) alright…
Nillie: Yay! We have a new friend!
Time has passed and it was a year that had gone by. I was still helping out at Mosie’s inn… at first it was hard but I was slowly getting used to it while I was becoming more and more attached to her… until… I seem to notice that I like her... taking this chance I wanted to see if I can start anew and fall in love again… at least until… she calls me to talk privately… I was going to use this chance to confess…
Mosie: Oh! Rezald… I need to tell you something…
Rezald: I need to tell you something too…
Mosie: It seems that… I like Yora… and I would like to ask your opinion as you are closer to him… also what is it that you need to tell me?
Rezald: I wanted to tell you that it was quite obvious that you like him and I think someone like him should be told that directly as he is quite dense.
Mosie: Wha!? When did you notice?
Mosie blushed as she had a shocked expression on her face as mine became grim… of course this would happen… someone like me… doesn’t deserve to love…
Rezald: (Just now…) Ages ago.
Mosie: I-I see… so it was that obvious…
Rezald: (So it was ages ago…) Go… tell him that you like him…
Mosie: I will!
As Mosie left Nillie approached me…
Nillie: You’re quite the nice person… why didn’t you tell her that you like her?
Rezald: So you knew… no reason… if she really does like someone then I will root for her all the way.
Nillie: You’re weird…
Rezald: I guess I am…
On the next day… I was completely tuckered out from comforting Mosie… it seems that when she said that she likes him… he said that he like her too… she was quite happy when she heard that… at least before she heard Yora’s next words… “So lets be friends forever, okay Mosie…?”. Hahh… that Yora sure is a piece of work… Since then I was trying to help Mosie further their relationship until it became a habit… 2 years passed by in a flash and still no luck… I really got to admire her tenacity… also from my usual cold attitude… it seems like I had changed too… I have completely opened my heart to them… they are like family to me now… I started to go to school a year ago using the money I make… with helping out at Mosie’s… also for two years I have been having the same nightmare…
My nightmare was… that scene with the men and my brother doing things with Sirian until she looks at me with disgust.
Galidus: Hahahahaha!!! You’re so weak brother!
???: Yeah! Just die already!
???: You are just a worthless trash!
???: I think he is lower than that!
Sirian: Maltran… why didn’t you save me…?
Rezald: Aaahh!! Hah… hah… hah… it was all a dream…
Mosie: Whats wrong!?
Rezald: N-nothing…
Mosie: Hahh… Again? What is it that makes you scream every night?
Rezald: …
One day… as we were coming back to the village… a man stopped us…
Man: Get out of here! A plague has spread within the village… are you perhaps Mosie?
Mosie: Y-yes…
Man: You’re mother is also plagued with the virus, she said that you musn’t come back inside the village…
Mosie: B-But mother…
Mosie cried as Yora and Nillie had dark expressions on their faces… a plague means that all the people inside the village will be killed if someone doesn’t do anything within at least seven days… All of their family is within this village… I was then determined to do something… if it is a low class plague then we might have the chance to do something… so I asked…
Rezald: Wh-what kind of plague is it?
Man: Mind Corrosion Virus…
All of their expressions became worse… of all the plagues… why did it have to be Mind Corrosion Virus… it is an A to S class plague… it is near impossible to cure it…
Rezald: No I will not give up… there has to be a way…
Yora: Rezald… yes! We should try!
Nillie: Yora… Rezald…
Mosie: Can we really save them…?
Rezald: We won’t know unless we try right?
They all nodded as we tried to find clues on how to cure it… we headed south and within a day and made it to Wartis Village… while there, we then rested in an inn as we heard someone talking downstairs…
???: Eh? The village near here is plagued?
???: What plague is it?
???: Mind Corrosion…
???: Yikes… I kind of feel bad for them…
???: Then why don’t you help them?
???: Are you nuts!? I don’t even know how to cure them…
???: Hmm… I think there is a cave near here that has what you call Nawons… apparently their materials can be made into mind protection equipment…
???: Ohh!! That would be extremely helpful… I want an equipment with mind protection.
???: Well it won’t be easy… these magical beast always hunt in groups and are all S class magical beasts…
???: I changed my mind…
Rezald: Did you hear that!? There is a way!
Nillie: But they said that they’re all S class magical beasts…
Yora: I know… Nillie and Mosie… stay here… me and Rezald will go there…
Mosie: No! We will come with you!
Nille: You’ll need a cleric right? It will be tough without one?
Yora: Hahh… fine… tomorrow lets buy some equipment and stack up.
Nillie: Alright.
The next day, we headed towards the cave which seems to be called Domun cave… as we head inside we were swarmed by magical beasts… somehow we managed to get through…
Rezald: This will be tougher than I thought…
Yora: Yeah…
As we head down to the second floor as we were surrounded by magical beasts. While fighting back it seems like a strong one was mixed with them… it was a unique monster… we were completely helpless against it until…
Yora: Go… deeper… escape…
Mosie then grabs Nillie as Nillie struggles…
Nillie: Nooooooo!!!! Yoraaa!!
I gritted my teeth… it reminded me how helpless I was… it reminded me of Sirian…
Yora: Guuhh!!
Suddenly… a large explosion came from the sealed entrance… a blurry figure came and bested the magical beasts… it was like a fairy tale where the hero come just at the nick of time… it was a man with white hair and purple eyes… and he had lightning covering his arm… it was element equip… something that most mages wanted to attain… his name is Nelus…I then looked at him with reverence… I wanted to be like him… as we proceed further I looked at him with more and more admiration…
As we finally reached the seventh floor… I was surrounded in light as I collapse on the floor… everything went white and in front of me was that beast…
Domun: My name is Domun, welcome to my execution zone.
Rezald: What did you do to the others!!
Domun: They are all dead!!
Rezald: No… noo!!!!
My mind went blank as tears started to fall… I snapped… I went to a frenzy as I continued to slice him with a dagger and cast magic to deal with him.
Domun: So weak!!
Rezald: I am not weeeaaakkk!!!
A light appeared on my hand as a small stick appeared. I then dashed towards Domun and strike him with the stick.
Domun: Hahahaha!!! As if such a puny stick can… Guuaaahh!!!!
As the stick made contact with his body as high pitch whistling sound can be heard as a large banging sound occurred and sent Domun flying for a few meters… afterwards the stick disappeared as I collapse on the ground…
Domun: You brat you dared to… gaahhh!!!… that white haired man…
So Bro Nelus did it? I guess I can now sleep a little bit… as I then closed my eyes… as I awoke… Mosie kissed Yora… my chest started to hurt as I then laughed dryly…
Nillie: My! Quite bold of you Mosie!!
Rezald: Ahaa…
Mosie: Y-Yora I love y… Eh!!!???
Rezald: (Yora… hahh…)
Mosie: Yora is an idiot…
Nillie: There, there…
As we waited for Yora to wake up… Yora went to Mosie and said…
Yora: Will you give me time to think about it?
Mosie: Just don’t make me wait too long…
I then sighed in relief and suddenly remembered…
Rezald: Uhmm… sorry for ruining the moment but what about the Nawons?
Yora: Ahh!! I forgot… we can’t just return to that place… we are all too tired…
Nillie: No… now what do we do…?
Nelus: Look.
Rezald: H-how… (Bro Nelus… you’re truly amazing… you managed to get them in that situation… I-I want to be as strong as you! For me to do that… I need to follow you!)
Nelus: That is a secret…
Zala: Hahh… well at least we got what we came here for…
Rezald then gritted his teeth ad took a resolute look.
Nillie: Rezald? What’s wrong?
Rezald: I’m sorry for being selfish but… Big bro Nelus! Please make me your disciple!!
Yora: R-Rezald!? Why?
Rezald: If it is him who is teaching then I can truly become strong!!
Nelus: No.
Rezald the kneeled and prostrates himself.
Rezald: Please!
Mosie: For Rezald to go that far…
Nelus: No.
Zala: Nelus… I don’t think he will give up…
Rezald: Even if you say no, I will still follow you no matter what you say!!!
Nelus: I decli…
Suddenly something appeared in front of me…
You have pledged yourself to God King, Nebulus
Thou has chosen a God to follow. Your fate is now bound to that God.
Rezald: (Is this what Lord Genbalt meant?)Eh?... You have pledged yourself to Go… mpfh!
Nelus: Hahh… fine you can come with me…
Rezald: Really!? Also is this… real?
Nelus: What do you think?
Rezald: Ohh!! Master!
Nelus: Hahh… just call me Nelus.
Rezald: Bro Nelus it is!
Nillie: Are you really sure Rezald?
Rezald: I have made up my mind… also, I can trust Yora to protect you all, right?
Yora: Of course! You can count on me.
Yora said as they shook hands.
Mosie: We’ll miss you Rezald.
Rezald: Me too… by the time I get back, expect a super cool and powerful mage to appear!
Yora: Hahahah!! Will do… goodbye Rezald, you’ll see, I’ll become stronger too.
Rezald: So where are we headed?
Zala: You’ll see when we get there.
She giggled as if deliberately teasing me… I then found out about Nelus and Zala’s races and was shocked… no wonder Bro Nelus is strong… and afterwards while teasing Zala like what I usually do with Mosie… I witnessed a slaughter… I almost vomited due to the gory scene in front of me… it was too much… even for someone like me… I then decided to take a bath in the lake near here when suddenly… I was attacked… by a beautiful woman… honestly… I thought I was dreaming so I just went with is when… Bro Nelus approached us… so it wasn’t a dream… I was almost eaten… I thought as I shook it off… hahh… I’m saved… it seems that she was a blacksmith named Kousa…
As we head to the inn I decided to help Zala a little like with Mosie… I then booked two rooms instead of three and conspired with the innkeeper… as Zala seemed to notice me behind the corner, I ran away towardfs my room and locked it… phew… she isn’t following me anymore… I then notice that someone else is in the room it was Kousa… I panicked and tried to go outside as she then stops me.
Kousa: Wait. You have a strong concentration of earth essence within you right? Mind if you help me imbue this equipment? I will also pay you… it seems like you’re not the only one asking for mind protection equipment… another group came by… I guess they are your acquaintances?
Rezald: Yes…
Kousa: Also… it seems like Nelus already paid for theirs and told me to just say that I will do it for them for free…
Rezald: Bro Nelus… you really are kind…
Suddenly… she kisses me as I then shouts…
Rezald: Wha!! What are you doing!!
Kousa: Its just a kiss.
Rezald: It was my first!
I then pushed her as I accidentally hit her chest as we both fell backwards.
Kousa: Aaahh!!
Kousa moaned as I then became flustered…
Rezald: I-I’m so sorry!
I then felt that the next room to ours had some mana used… uh-oh… Bro Nelus!! I bet he’ll misunderstand… oh man…
Kousa: Hey! Aren’t you going to help me or what?
Rezald: …
As I continued imbue Yora’s bundle of equipment with earth essence or to be more precise… semi converted mana that is not completely turned to the earth element… I’ll just keep calling it earth essence as it is easier… we somehow finished as morning came… I was quite tired as Kousa was quite delighted… she then used a storage bag and kept the equipment as she went out of the door… as I soon followed… I then remembered the kiss as I said…
Rezald: I can’t get married anymore…
Nelus: …
Rezald: Sorry for the noise last night… did… it… bother both of you?
Nelus: Not at all…
Rezald: I-I see…
Nelus: What were you doing last night? Is it the so called mating?
Rezald: (H-he did misunderstood!!! Waaahhh!!! So embarrassing!!)
I then panicked and said…
Rezald: I did try to defend myself!! I really did!! She was just too strong as she forced herself on me…
Kousa seeing this had a mischievous grin and said…
Kousa: What about the time near the lake you seem to enjoy it?
Rezald: W-well it was the first time that a girl was on the offensive on me so… (What am I saying!?)
Seeing my reaction, Kousa giggled and then apologized…
Kousa: Ahh! I see… well sorry that I took your… first…
Rezald: I’m kind of glad that I’m not… anymore… I’ll save the next one for the one I love.
Kousa: Aww… you don’t love me…
Rezald: You wish!! Ahahaha!!
Kousa: You conceited little… Ahahaha!!!
Nelus: …
Seeing Bro Nelus walk away… I finally remember… I forgot to explain myself to him… nooo!!!!
As night came… I explained myself to them as they nodded believing me… good everything is settled… as I went to sleep… it was the same nightmare except…
Sirian: Maltran, why didn’t you save me…
???: Shut up fake!
I then look towards a familiar voice… it was her Sirian… and besides her was a purple haired woman…
Sirian: Maltran… I missed you…
Rezald: Sirian… is that really you?
Rezald then started to cry as Sirian approached him and hugged him tightly… as he felt the familiar warm sensation, he calms down…
Sirian: Thank you… for giving me this chance…
???: It is his request afterall…
Sirian: Maltran… you don’t need to keep tormenting yourself for that day… I forgive you… I am just glad you’re safe…
Sirian then started to cry with a gentle and warm smile on her face as I soon followed…
Sirian: Find someone else to love… do not let your heart be bound to a dirtied woman like me…
Rezald: Sirian… you are not dirty… I love you no matter what happens… and that will never change…
As I got close to her… I kissed her…
Sirian: Ehehe… Maltran kissed me…
She then pouted… and glared at me.
Sirian: Too bad it isn’t your first anymore…
Rezald: S-Sirian!?
Sirian: At least I gave mine to you…
Rezald: Sirian… I-I!!!
I suddenly notice that I was waking up… no… I want to stay like this forever…
Rezald: S-Siriaann!! Will I have the chance to meet you again?
Sirian: Who knows?
Sirian said mischievously as a smile was directed at me…
I then awoke with tears on my eyes… to calm myself I tried to go outside and noticed Zala also coming out so I asked their progress…
Rezald: Whaaattt!!??? Nothing happened… nothing?
Zala: Yes…
Rezald: Hahh… he really is like Yora… or maybe worse?
Then Bro Nelus came out afterwards…
Rezald: Ahh… good morning Bro Nelus…
Nelus: Good morning. I think that Kousa is finished by now. Let’s head to her blacksmith.
Rezald: …Okay.
As we then payed for the equipment… we continued on with our journey.
Nelus: I guess we should be going now.
Kousa: You’re all free to visit me anytime!
Kousa said as she waved at us.
Rezald: Are we really headed to the city of angels?
Nelus: Yes.
Zala: Look forward to it!
Rezald: I will!
I then started thinking… and so I asked Bro Nelus… and whispered… as Zala went ahead.
Rezald: J-just a reminder… you are a God right?
Nelus: Are you going to ask about that girl besides you?
Rezald: Eh!?
Nelus: Is she important to you?
Rezald: Yes…
I said unconsciously due the sudden questions...
Nelus: Do you want to be reincarnated?
???: Yes…
Rezald: Eh!? Sirian?
Nelus: Alright…
Suddenly a white sphere appeared on Nelus’ hand…
Rezald: I-is that Sirian?
Nelus: Yes…
Nelus’ eyes glowed as he let go of the sphere as it then vanishes…
Sirian… got reincarnated… is this really happening…?
Rezald: Will I have the chance to meet her again?
Sirian…
Nelus: It is up to you…
Rezald: Will she remember me?
Sirian!!
Nelus: It depends on how strong your bond is…
I smiled as tears started to fall… God… no… Bro Nelus… thank you… I will find her… and hope that we will one day meet… until then… I will… live!!!
