Chapter 11: Memory Loss? (2/2)

Arion felt flattered hearing Mei's words as it made him seem like a saint who couldn't bear to watch any living beings suffer.

Shun looked at Arion with a surprised look as he never thought that Arion was the type to save a stranger by going to such lengths. He could only imagine the trouble it took for a disabled person like Arion to drag him out from the river.

Even though he didn't want to say thanks to him again, he seemed like he felt bad for not properly appreciating what he did, and so, he said in a sincere tone, ”Thank you, Arion.”

Arion was a bit taken aback as he didn't expect someone like Shun to switch his colors and thank him so sincerely quickly.

Arion coughed and said, ”You are welcome.”

”But do you really not remember where you are coming from?” Mei asked with a thoughtful expression.

Shun shook his head and said, ”Sadly, no. I wish I could see so that I could find my way back home. Is there a way out of this island?”

Arion narrowed his eyes, ”Why do you want to get out of this island? How do you know that your home isn't on this island if you don't remember anything?”

Shun said with an unfocused gaze, ”Ah, that's because my home could not be on this island as well, right? I just wanted to know if there was a way just in case it turned out that my home isn't on this island.”

Mei chimed in, ”It's highly impossible for you to come from another island since you suddenly fell from the sky. I think only when you remember how you ended up falling from the sky will we be able to find out where you are really coming from or for you to recover all your memories. Maybe once your body completely heals, those memories might come back. Till then, you may rest here since you don't have anywhere to go.”

Shun had a happy expression, ”Really? Thank you, Miss Mei!”

”Hey! Sister Mei, is it really necessary for him to stay here? Won't it be troublesome for this poor guy? I mean, he would recover his memories faster if he were to wander alone outside instead of cozying up here, right?” Arion asked since he didn't want Shun to hole up in this house and irk him.

Mei let out a soft laugh seeing through Arion, and said, ”He is in an injured state. If he goes out, his condition would only worsen. And besides, I heard how you two seemed to get familiar with each other. I believe you two would make good friends, right?”

She then looked at Shun, ”Arion never had a close friend before. So, I hope you can be good to him and don't bully him, okay?” She said with a pose of a big sister looking out for her little brother.

Shun said with a polite smile as he looked at Arion, ”Of course, Miss Mei. I will look after Arion as if he was my brother.”

Arion saw Shun's eyes flashing with certain light and said, ”Hmph, I can take care of myself. Don't look down on me just because I am disabled. Soon, things won't be the same,” His tone sounded confident since he knew that he finally was able to connect with Prana.

So, it would only be a matter of time before he walks the path of a Defier and becomes one finally!

Shun inwardly rolled his eyes, but on the outward, he gave an encouraging smile while Mei seemed a little surprised that Arion seemed to sound really confident.

”Okay, Shun, right? You can rest here and call any of us if you need anything. Come Arion, let's leave Shun to rest,” Mei said as she went outside the room.

Arion made an 'I am watching you' gesture at Shun by making a V-sign with two of his fingers over his eyes. Shun only stuck out his tongue in reply before Arion left the room.
