Chapter 269 - Conversation with Goddess Achalasia (1/2)
[Rean point of view]
”Brother Ash is...” [Elise]
”Ash. Ash was...” [Claude]
”Goddess!” [Filvisar]
”...” (Again, I failed to protect him again. Forgive me, Vincent, Maria.) [Mahsuri]
”No way. That Blondie wouldn't kick the bucket so easily!” [Calypso]
”You're joking right!” [Mara]
”I. I don't believe it!” [Kara]
”Kara, Mara...” [Aries]
””Dead”” [Lara, Nara]
”It couldn't be! This is a joke! A joke!” [Zerolith]
”He is here right? Waiting for the right moment to prank us all!” [Farhah]
”Zerolith, Farhah...” [Rafiah]
”...” [Karon]
”Dead. As in, no more, like my mother?” [Singa]
”So we couldn't play tag with him any longer?” [Savel]
”We, we couldn't see him? Just tell him to come back. I will even give him my favourite chocolate banana cake” [Charlotte]
”Charlotte, it isn't that...” [Seo Ah]
If only thing is that simple. If only a cake is all that is needed to make him come back to life. How I wish that statement is true, but no matter how you look at it, it wouldn't be that simple.
Looking back, he is always there for us. It isn't an exaggeration to say that our whole life are turn upside down, and for the better just because of him.
This warm house, the warm sensation of finally having a family. The stomach that rarely growls nowadays thank to his kindness. The power we got as we keep training day in and day out together with him. The time we spent together.
All living creature are bound to die, but that isn't a fact that most creature will think about, and when their closest loved one went back to meet their creator, no matter how prepared one is,
”Sob. Why. WHY!” [Rean]
”Why are you crying? Let just take a cake and Brother Ash will surely...” [Charlotte]
”Charlotte! He wouldn't come back!” [Rean]
”!” [Charlotte]
And now, Charlotte is throwing a tantrum. Keep cursing at me with all her might all the while stressing the point that Brother Ash will come back one day
”Charlotte. Please, stop it” [Diana]
”No! Brother Ash will come back! He wouldn't leave us behind! He promised! He promised to be there for us!” [Charlotte]
”True, he promised...Uwwaaahhhh” [Elise]
Elise suddenly let out a big cry. Usually, she will be the one that comfort the younger one, but now, she's the one getting comfort by them.
This feeling. I hate it. The orphanage should be a place filled with children laughter and joy, not a place where you will find a bunch of children crying
Then again, I had cried back then, when the Duchess suddenly attack us. Oh how I remember. We got blessed with The Holy Beast of Dark, Time Keeper Az and then, the dream...
The dream?
The dream?
The dream?
(Alright everyone! Stand on your ground! This is Brother Ash we are talking about, and we have to give everything we have got to take him down!) [Rean?]
(Right!) [Other]
”THAT DREAM! NO! The vision from the future!” [Rean]
”Rean? Are you alright?” [Rumia]
”Vision from the future?” [Saint Louis]
”Elise, Zerolith, remember that dream we got? Right after the battle with the old follower? We discussed it and...” [Rean]
”Of course! The Time Keeper Az is the one responsible for it!” [Elise]
”Then, that mean!” [Zerolith]
