A Link Between Lives

Akasan and his group were already leaving the town.

Mark looked back. "Is what you did okay? You'll be hunted along with us."

"I'm already hunted wherever the Seventh Order is. It was only a matter of time."

When they got a good distance away, Fuu broke the silence. He ran ahead of the group, faced Akasan, and got down on one knee, bowing his head. "I apologize!!"

Akasan was confused. "Huh?"

"I told you to abandon us! I doubted your skill! Even after all you've done for us, I was wrong!"

Akasan chuckled. "It's no big deal. You don't have to feel bad. You did nothing wrong." He tapped him on the back as he walked ahead. "Come on, let's keep going."

"Yeah." Fuu walked a few steps behind Akasan.

"Why would he go so far..." Ren said quietly.

Vera, who was next to her, heard her. "You mean Fuu?"

Ren nodded.
