v1c2 part4 (1/2)

“Have you calmed down?”

“Yeah….”

“Have you thought about what you’ve done?”

“I just lost it for a moment. I’m sorry.”

Lize was on her knees and apologized to Kyle, who was sitting right in front of him.

Lize almost strangled Kyle. It was a while before she calmed down; the sun was about to go down.

“Well. As long as you know that it was a misunderstanding. But why did you lose everything all of a sudden?”

Lize tends to overthink things, and sometimes she goes nuts, but today was especially bad.

A teary eyed Lize responded to Kyle.

“B..beacuse….Kyle…you can’t do anything without me…and all of a sudden..you being with someone is….just mortifying.”

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and the latter half of her response was drowned out.

(Was she this jealous? Maybe I never noticed it)

“It’s okay. I’m not angry anymore. Can you please cheer up.”

Kyle patted her head lightly to comfort her, and she turned red.

“Yeah, come to think of it, you don’t have the b.a.l.l.s to do something like that. Had I stayed calm, I would’ve totally realized that. I’m really sorry.”

“You hurt me as you’re apologizing.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Nothing. It’s done…I’m going to train a little more so just go home first. I need to focus.”

“Fine. I’ll make some food and wait for you.”

“Alright. Make sure you tell the two sitting over there.”

Kyle glared at Seran and Leila who were still looking this way.

A short while after Lize went to where the two were, Seran gave a big wave and left.

Kyle was slightly irritated at that, but he took a deep breath, and went back to training.

That night’s supper was luxurious, partly because Lize wanted to show her remorse.

“Mhmm, you came home at a great timing.”

“Not really.”

“Why are you two here?”

Kyle complains to Leila and Seran. He wanted to talk about what happened during the day.

“Why not? That rabbit you see there, that’s the one I caught.”

“I wanted to eat something tasty since it’s been a while. As if I would eat face to face with this loser after my journey.”

“Kyle-chan, the food will be tastier if you eat it with more people.”

Kyle sighed, but agreed. Over the past year, he hasn’t had much opportunity to eat with many people.

After a hearty meal, Kyle became formal and asked everyone a question.

“Mom and s.h.i.+shō,  I wanted to ask you two something.”

“whaaaawmmmtmt?”

“Mom, quit talking with your mouth full. I’ll ask you later.”

Once again, Kyle warned his mother.

“I don’t feel fully comfortable, but I don’t have anyone else I can ask, so I’ll ask you four.”

“That’s not how you ask for favors, but since the food’s bomb, I’ll let you go on this one. Ask away.”

Seran sounded pretentious.

“Who is someone that can say something and affect multiple countries?”

Today, Kyle was stronger than ever before, but he also realized his limitations.

No matter how strong he becomes, that alone cannot change the fate of the human race.
