I'm awfully aware of what it's like

"BIg Bwother, Big Bwother"

She kept shouting while jumping around me.

Really, what is this creature.

What the hell is this cute creature, and why does she like me so much?

I occasionally couldn't hold myself and grab her and cuddle with her while rubbing my face over hers.

Damn, seeing her. I can't hold myself. She's so fkin adorable.

"Hehehe"

She giggled while I did that. This little sister of mine is named Mella Kayler and she's 4 years old.

She's old enough to start walking and talking but not old enough to really walk properly or talk properly.

But, she's the most adorable creature I've ever seen.

Like, can such an adorable creature even exist? Shouldn't it be against the law to be someone this adorable?

While there's my mother, her name was Milia Kayler. She had Black hair and Blue eyes and she looked extremely beautiful.

"So, son how academy life going. Did you make any friends?"

"As a matter of fact I did actually... I even created a club with them... It's called the union."

"Ara, that makes me so happy. That you finally made friends. But, you seem like a different person now. Is that what the academy does to someone?"

"Ahahaha that may be the case."

Shit, I know nothing about the real Ron's personality so I just acted the way I usually do. Shit, why didn't I think of it.

According to reports by other people, he seems like a timid and introverted person but the character in showing right now is completely different.

"So that really is the case, I would have never imagined that an academy can change a person so much. But, still I'm really glad you changed. So glad."

She said while her eyes were watering.

Damn man, how could you make such a loving person cry like that. You really should repent in the afterlife ya dumbass Ron.

I ain't ganna let this shit slide.

Why were you so desperate to leave the tournament, did that guy really make an offer with you?

I can't think of any other reason, That has to be the case.

This shit ain't even crazy man. I who's never had a family and had to scrape my life on and on until I got sick of it and died all alone.

You who has a family would never understand my loneliness. But, I guess you felt pressured because what was going on and had no other reason but to make such a decision.

It's alright though, I'll make sure I save every last one of them, I don't know if it's your emotions or mine but I've already gotten close enough with them to give my life for them.

So I wouldn't abandon them no matter what.

I'll protect them until the end so don't worry, I know you are there somewhere inside me hearing what I'm saying. So rest, rest well.

Leave everything else to me.

[Thank you]

Huh? Heh, no worries.

...

I always felt heavy inside but now, I don't feel that way anymore. It's like a big burden has been lifted off of my mind.

So, he's been here all this time haa? That guy, I wonder what happened to him.

Is he someone of the past or is he someone from the future?

I can't really be sure but what I do know is that this guy really cares about his family.

So much so that even his left over fragments ended up crying.

"I'm sorry mom, I made you worry."

"Well, what son wouldn't worth his mother? All is forgiven."

She really is a sweet person, there's no point thinking over stuff. I have to protect them and to do that I have to get these people out of the town.

To do that, I have to pay a non existant debt that was nothing more than an illusion created by the damn king of this nation to chain these villagers down.

So until I pay the insane amount of debt, they won't be able to get out of this accused place alive.

Afterall, it's just a ploy to use these villagers as livestock for the demon Commandor that's about to awaken in about 10 years.

Afterall, this king is a puppet of the demon Commandor with puppeting and Memory tampering skills.

He is a scumbag who controls people with Mind Tampering and Puppetry skill.

He is irredeemable, just thinking about him makes my blood boil. That was also the reason why I decided to come to my village and not participate in the Cricket Tournament.

I realised that shit is about to go down in that castle after the end of the 5th tournament.

That's precisely why it was important for me to come to Ron's hometown.

It's too bad, I thought that The MC and Noelle will take care of the King now that Noelle was alright right now.

But, I was wrong. They both were in the worst of relations and cannot even hold a proper conversation together.

It shouldn't be a problem for the MC to take care of the King but while doing so half of the towns people were killed because of the aftermath of the Battle.

The entire City was in ruins and everything was in shambles.

The original reason why The MC fought the king was because he'd provoked the MC by stating that he sold Noelle to the Slave traders.

This made The MC's blood boil and that was the reason why he decided to kill the King after he went on a rampage.

That resulted in half of the towns folks turning into ash and the entire village was in shambles.

That was pretty much when The MC turned into a Killing machine and killed people left and right.

He became a heartless killer and even abandoned his team mates who he thought were of no use anymore.

I can't let that happen, even if he thought those people were useless at that time. I know the amount of potential they hold.

I felt like it was pretty heartless of the MC to just up and abandon people when they were having problems.

It's just that, I usually wouldn't myself care about doing heroic things, but looking at the people and what they were going through.

I couldn't help but wanna help them. Helping people you know nothing about is one thing but ignoring people who you know are suffering and know a way to help them.

You shouldn't abandon such people, especially when you have a way to help them.

That's my motto of sorts I guess. I've suffered a lot in my life, and no one has ever really helped me out in such situations and so I know how it's like to be lonely and not have anyone to help you out.

I'm far too familiar with those emotions of rotting in a hospital bed and there was no one present even on my deathbed.

It was the shittiest and most lonely feeling and I hope nobody goes through something like that.
