Chapter 447 - Ten Centimeters Part 6 (2/2)

”Oh my, it appears as though your knight appeared at last.” Kei commented in a mocking tone.

Lethia glanced over and saw two people amongst the beasts. Her sister Lyn and Kazuya.

Although she saw him plenty of times since he came back.

Recently she took carefully steps to ensure that she wouldn't cross paths with him. ” Halt. We will not interfere,” Lethia said. Though she would love to take credit for saving the day in a place that's visible. Right now it would do her no good. Besides Lethia is curious to see them fight side by side one another.

”Very well.”

If Kazuya is here, she won't do anything. Or rather, there is no need to do anything with Kazuya her.

As she watched the two for awhile though, she noted something interesting.

”Tsk, there's no end to this.”

”Then use your magic.”

”Ha? Then why don't you?”

Despite the fact that the two were bickering away, Lethia could see it. That there was some sort of harmony between the two of them. When she saw them stand back to back and watching each others back's like that. Lethia felt nostagalic.

Ah, that's right. It's the same feeling as back then. Back then the two of them had been like that too. Watching each others back and protecting each other. Despite the harshness of her childhood, when she met Kazuya things changed drastically. Although he cared more about his sister than her, Lethia was just glad that she had a means of escape then.

When she first got her powers Kazuya taught her how to use them, he taught her how to use her powers. Back then the two of them fought of the monsters coming to the village; and everyone saw them as hero's. Whilst those days were peaceful, Lethia knew something had been missing. She knew it was far too good to be true.

So that time - that day when everything fell apart for the two of them. A part of her hadn't been surprised. That day everything ended. Those days that seemed so endless and repetitive..and yet fun came to a end. Lethia could not forget the voices from that day.

'It's your fault that everyone died.'

'Your the ones who brought the monsters here.'

'No that's not true Kazuya didn't...'

'Lethia it's fine.'

Kazuya is wrong. The one, the one who the monsters had been attracted too wasn't him or that person. In the first place the only target had been her. Desperate to prove him wrong and convince him to stay in the village, she did all kinds of research. And that was when her mother finally told her. The first conversation they truly exchanged revealed the truth; and the dark secrets of their family. After hearing it she understood right away that the ones they were after, the one that was to blame was her and not Kazuya.

When Lethia discovered the truth the night before his departure she made her mind up. ' The two of..us can no longer see each other, goodbye.'

Lethia continued to watch them with a dark gaze. Her sister and Kazuya. 'These two, even if they aren't a couple anymore..' Why do they look so perfect standing by each others side like this? Lyn shouldn't have any memories of what happened back then. The same goes for Kazuya and yet how come they are working side by side like this?

Back then, even though she trusted Kazuya as her partner. Kazuya never saw her as his partner. The one Kazuya was watching then was only Lyn.
