Chapter 200 - Somebody Important (1/2)

After the picnic, Kazuya brought her to the cemetery. When Kazuya stopped by the edge, Lyn immediately understood and helped him pay his respects in each row. To think that he knows so many people who died, how much pain has Kazuya gone through?

It really isn't any good.

Lyn felt her gaze darkening, and a sudden chill inside her appear, as she recalled that time. At that time, she should have stopped him. Or she should have stayed with him - no, she shouldn't have brought him with her in the first place. Though it was that person who dragged Kazuya into it, it's only because he realized she didn't want to be left alone. If she stopped him, however, if she had said that, then Kazuya would have said ' Don't worry about that stuff.'

So she didn't say it. Or Kazuya would have even made some sort of remark about her face breaking out into wrinkles if she worries or something. He's already made such a comment before, even though she didn't say it. Perhaps Kazuya was watching her when she was looking...

”I think this is my penalty,” Lyn turned to face him, who was holding onto his injured arm with his left.

”A penalty?” Lyn repeated.

”Yeah,” Kazuya paused. ” But it doesn't mean many things are forgiven just because I can tolerate this. But maybe I should think like this. Now I can only try harder, that's what I will do.”

Ah...

Lyn feels the coldness leave her body, as expected from Kazuya. He always looks straight ahead at the future optimistically. Even though his expression always remains blunt and curt the majority of the time. It somehow sends a light feeling across her body.

Lyn smiled, 'That's more like him,' she thought. Earlier it looked like he was brooding about something.

”That's what I like about you.”

However, whenever Lyn saw this attitude from him. It makes her want to do the same too. Alright, she's going to try harder in secret too.

”Though working hard when your young doesn't count....”

”Maybe I'll get some good vibes.”

”Let's hope so.”

Kazuya suddenly stopped walking, ”Hey, didn't you say you wanted to pay your respects to some people too?”

Ah... She almost got wrapped up in conversation. Lyn closed her eyes, ” It's a little far from here. But can we still go?”

Kazuya nodded, ”Anything for you.”

...

On the outskirts of the city, there's a tower that is said to be taller than any statue. A tower that's supposed to be more beautiful than anything else in this world. However, said tower was said to have collapsed to such a degree that the beauty that it once held was no longer evident. Despite the numerous repairs done to it, the natural glow it seemed to emit has long disappeared. Lyn has never been here before, at least not in person. She only ever saw this place through a spiritual connection.

Lyn spies Kazuya's expression, he should already know everything right?

”It was so beautiful here too...” she murmurs. She may not have been here before. But, Lyn saw everything back then during that small war that broke out. She saw it when she was connected with that person.

”Ah, careful stepping there.”
