Chapter 6: The Peace

Everyone is so busy preparing to leave the village...some of them are still trying to think if they're going to leave this place...some are muttering about [is this really the right decision?] [what if were going to be safe in here if we just stay]....

even me, i still think that leave this place is the best decision for everyone's safety...but it's really weird that the heroes that has been sent here is having a hard time to defeat and defend the fort, shouldn't they have some kind of special powers? and one more weird thing in this world is... they have churches and something like called the Holy church at the Capital of the three countries...but that's not my concern, this world have some kind of profession system because not everyone can use mana...and people who gave up on using mana goes into the path of practicing aura...this world have heroes, sage, and other professions but they don't have Saints and other than saint there's no other unique professions here in this world.

as usual im with henry and jane but on the past few day we've been just having time together for a short time because they plan to leave this place as well...after that i was about to go home but then i saw some familiar guy ahead... it's tom the fat guy who beat me up and henry back then...as i was walking straight and not even looking at him, because i don't want to have some trouble with this guy again, he's annoying, but the he called out my name and i flinch

[oi, blank]

just ignore him, ignore him... that's what im thinking, but then he put his hand on my shoulder and called out my name again

[blank, hear me out for a bit...]

i let out a sigh and tried to talk to him...but when i saw his face, i feel like he's kinda different right now...is he...blushing? Holy shit...

[y-yes? what can i do for you...tom]

[w-well can i talk with you for a bit?]

°

i dont know why but i agreed...he take me infront of their butcher shop, and then we sat down...the sun is about to set for the night...it's already late if i stay here for more arisha might be worried for me for sure...

[you...you're friends with jane right?]

[eh?]

...i see, so this kid...he likes jane huh

[yeah, i guess?....no were friends]

as i was smiling saying those words it's giving me a happiness just thinking about having friends, the experience that i never have before...i can experience them now

[well, i know I've been so bad to you, but back then...i want to apologize...i'm sorry]

there's some time from my previous life where someone who apologize to me as well...but i didnt expect to just be betrayed again, but seeing tom's face right now, he seem so down, and really confident on his apology, i don't know why but since the time arisha and balimor show me their love for me...it feels like i was saved by a light from my dark world...since then my world have been full of light and no darkness...it's a warm feeling that made me take back my emotions that i lost on my previous world...i patted tom's back and smiled at him even if you did something not good to me...seeing his face with full of confident just to apologize to me...im sure he's been thinking about this for awhile now...he's doing this to get close to jane, but he seems wanted to really wanted to apologize to me, im sure he's thinking the same about henry as well....I've experience so many things in my previous world and those experience make me judge people if they're lying or not just by looking at them.

[you know...as long as you regret what you did...and ready to change to atone...you'll be forgiven]

i blurted out those words and smiled at him...he look at me and it's as if like he's glad and tear are started pouring out from his eyes but he tried not to cry

[thank you blank]

even tho he really did a bad thing back then...kids are really just a kids afterall huh...they're innocence are still there no matter how you look at it, on this life...i dont want to have enemies anymore i will just going to live peacefully...

°

i made it back home, im glad that it's not that late when i made it back so arisha isn't mad or worried at me but as i enter the house i saw them on the table talking to each other...it's seems like a serious talk so i didnt tried to butt in...

°

Arisha and balimor is talking at the table, they notice that blank is back from outside but he just go straight to his room after greeting each other a welcome back

[what if i...tried talking to them?]

[balimor are you an idiot...they're traitors]

arisha and balimor made a frustrated expression on their conversation

[more than that...about blank..]

[yeah...he doesn't have any talent for mana]

[what if i just trained him on using aura?]

[no...i dont want him...i want him to be the one to choose if he wants to learn or not...and even if he doesn't want to learn how to use aura, let's just do our best to give him a happy life...because that's our promise to them]

balimor grab arisha's hand gave them a kiss, he smiled at arisha who's trying to hold back her tears, and arisha was cheered up for a bit by that

[i will always support you arisha, and blank even tho were not related by blood to him, he's always going to be our son, and i will protect both of you in every situation]

[i know that balimor...were going to live happily, the three of us and it's for them as well]

[but it's weird, even blank is their son, but blank doesn't have any talent on mana, and i seem to cant see either if he have a talent for aura...]

[but blank is so smart, just like them]

[yeah...he really resemble them afterall]

[after two days, were going to leave this place, and lets try to look for the others]

[but we dont even have any clue where they are...]

the conversation between the two of them ended with a moment of silence, and arisha called out blank from his room for them start their dinner for tonight.

°

as i was done eating my dinner i notice arisha and balimor seem to be kind of gloomy...and i hear some of their conversation...

it seems like i dont have any talent for mana...i actually dont care but me having no talent at aura as well will be kinda sad to think, after hearing those words from then i quickly go back to my room and i didnt heared any more of their conversation, because i dont want to butt in...but it's so funny to think that even on this world...

[i'm really so useless huh]

no i shouldn't be thinking about this thing, i slap my cheeks with both my hand to left and right, it hurts but...it wakes me up my spirit

[alright! even if im going to be useless, having mana or aura isn't the only thing on this world, i can be a successful merchant or anything, i will do my best for arisha and balimor]

it's been a while since i was so fired up on a one thing...yeah if it's for them...if it's for my peace, for my family, for my friends, i will do my best...
