642 Thank you, my dear knigh (2/2)

'Maybe I should load back in time.' Seiji suddenly had such a thought.

But, he then sighed after recalling what Hoshi had said back then.

'Let's try to have my idiot junior recover his memories first before deciding what to do.'

Hoshi was sitting down under a tree, observing beautiful flowers while watching tiny butterflies dance among the flowers.

A light breeze blew past which slightly shook the flowers. There was a sweet aroma and bright red leaves were falling… This scene and atmosphere were so beautiful as to be addictive.

An ethereal song sounded. When Hoshi looked to find the source, he noticed that the golden-haired girl was already standing next to him since an unknown time.

Hoshi silently looked at her and listened to her song. He felt as if his very soul was being cleansed. He had no idle thoughts whatsoever, and his heart was completely calm.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded.

Hoshi turned around and saw a squadron of people in various types of clothing. They were all holding blood-red weapons or guns.

All of them had black, gray, or red misty auras around them which gave Hoshi an ominous impression. He felt that they didn't belong in such a beautiful location at all.

The golden-haired girl also looked at this squadron and stopped her singing.

These people then did something that caused a dense gray mist to arrive. The air speedily became chilly.

The flowers started losing their color as they wilted in large patches. All the butterflies dropped on the ground and turned into dust.

Even the tall red-leafed tree was speedily losing its life force at a visible rate. Its bark dimmed in color as its leaves kept dropping… it finally became rather ugly and scary with how dried out it appeared.

This squadron of people then left this area.

They destroyed the beauty and calmness of this location and then left just like that.

A feeling of anger arose within Hoshi's heart.

He looked at the golden-haired girl. Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, he could sense her sadness.

Hoshi then witnessed this scene repeating itself countless times.

At first, the golden-haired girl didn't do anything at all. But as her sadness increased, she started hiding her garden's presence.

Yet, those people still kept finding and destroying her garden. Evidently, they had a method of locating her garden.

After that, she was forced to start fighting off those people.

But even if she chased them away, they would soon return with even more and stronger companions!

The golden-haired girl was having a bitter and difficult time fighting against those people.

All she wanted was to maintain her garden. Yet, those people always brought along destruction and turned the entire world to grayness.

Hoshi's anger reached its peak after witnessing all of this.

Just chasing those people away would be insufficient. They needed to be killed!

Only by killing them would they never return.

As if she sensed his anger, the golden-haired girl looked at him and slowly reached out with her tiny hand.

Hoshi stretched out his hand and lightly held her hand in his.

Her hand was cool, soft, and smooth… a subtly wondrous sensation.

But, that wasn't the important part. The important part was that this was the first time that he was finally able to touch her.

Hoshi tightly gripped her hand, transmitting his own will.

'I will help you.

'I will protect your garden, your home! I shall make those people that bring destruction pay a fitting price!!'

The girl sensed his feelings. Her mouth arced upwards slightly as she smiled movingly.

She then spoke one sentence.

Hoshi didn't recognize the language she spoke in. Yet, he was mystically able to understand the meaning...
