Chapter 51 - I want to Save The World (1/2)

The question startled her.

Kyou was one of the few people who knew about her feelings regarding her fiance.

While she feigned ignorance this whole time, Lyn wasn't clueless when it came to love, or maybe she was. But she knew what it meant to be in love with another person. To be exact, somebody was occupying her heart. A deep sigh passed her lips, ”Honestly, I don't understand anymore,” Lyn muttered. She loved Allen; she did for the longest time, but lately, it didn't bother her so much that they couldn't meet.

And yet, could she let him go? Lyn knew she couldn't. What's more, she still felt so strongly towards Allen. It's not a simple matter of letting him go or not.

”How about that, man? Kazuya is it? I feel like the gap between the two of you should be a lot larger.”

”Kazuya and I may not be the same. But I realized it now, how we are so different and yet drawn to each other. I think love is funny. One day you're just walking through life minding your own business. Then the next you're in love. It's confusing, it really is. It's hard to comprehend, and you end up getting dragged into tense situations. However, none of that matters in the end. The feelings I have for Kazuya aren't something I can describe right now. I can say I like him - but love? I wonder if love is this suffocating, this painful - I'm still not sure.”

That's right; those feelings only keep on growing even till now. ”Suffocating, huh. Then are those feelings real, I wonder?” Kyou questioned. Even without him saying it, Lyn understood where he was coming from because she shared a similar thought process.

”It's real; I realize that love isn't all fun and games. A relationship can't be filled with happiness alone.”

”Your learning, huh? That's right.”

Lyn sighed, so he knew and was just stringing her along? Well, she supposes it's better that she came to a conclusion herself, ”In the first place I'm not that kind of person, anyway. I come across as negative, and I don't trust people easily. Even now, I have little confidence in myself. I don't have confidence that I can keep on loving someone for long. The feelings I have for that person grow stronger as each day goes by. At times I feel it isn't enough.”

That's right something is missing even now. What she is missing; Lyn wanted to find it.

If it's the present her, Lyn knew she would be able to. Meeting Kazuya gave her strength.

A strong gust of wind blew before them. Since it was approaching winter, the brief wind left her trembling. She should have brought a cloak with her.

”That's fine, though. Because in the end, your being true to yourself,” Kyou said.

Kyou?

He suddenly seemed strange.

”My dream is the same as yours,” Kyou started, which caused her eyes to go wide.

”Don't tell me....”

”I want to save the world,” Kyou declared.

Is his dream like hers? She didn't think there would be anyone like her. She never thought this was possible. Even though both of them took separate paths, even though... even though, she was so upset when it happened. She was so confused when he left, and she cried endlessly for days. After all, Lyn considered him as an important friend.

”I want to save the world after all. I want to save the world. But as expected I can't do it on my own. So will you help me?”

Despite being completely stunned, Lyn got some words out, ”H...how, do you plan on doing it?”

”That's up to you. Rather, we can decide this together, can't we.”

This is too good to be true? It felt like a dream? No, there's no way she would ever have such a good dream like this one. She's never had such pleasant dreams before so there's no way it would happen now.
