496 Army Assembled (1/2)
Gerken was quite surprised by Ange's reaction, but he decided to agree.
”Alright. I will meet with them on their planet first. You can come with me to that place, but you must return here after that.”
The mission of those following Yale was a secret one that the rest didn't know, so they needed to have a reunion before meeting with the rest.
Moreover, almost everyone in that group was living on that planet, so it wasn't surprising that they chose that planet.
”That is enough. I also have sweet memories of that planet.”
Although Ange had recovered her memories from her previous lives, the memories from her childhood with Yale and Lina were still extremely important to her.
She had lacked a proper family in her two first lives. In the first, Yale's past life went to reincarnate when Ange was too young, and given the situation, it couldn't be said that it was the best kind of family for a kid.
On the second one, everything turned weird due to the reincarnations, and since she lacked a mother because she died when Yale was born and she spent a lot of time just helping Yale, she didn't have a happy childhood either.
However, in her third life, she managed to live the childhood he had missed in her previous life. Although her parents were strict with training, she finally experienced what was having a family despite being only until she turned ten, but that had been enough for her.
”By the way, master. Since when do you know my parents? For your words, you aren't going to meet them for the first time.”
Ange needed to wait more than a hundred years to meet them again, so she was curious about how much time her master had been secretly in contact with them.
She knew that it was normal that Yale and Lina hadn't appeared before her before she recovered her memories, but she was still curious about the relationship between her parents and her master.
”Since the day you met Lily. That day I discovered that your father's identity, and he sent an incarnation to speak with me.”
Gerken didn't feel that the fact he had met Yale before was something he couldn't tell Ange since she had recovered her memories.
”As for your mother, I never met her before. With your father, we mainly spoke about you and the war. He also taught me a powerful Path that allowed me to become comparable to an Origin God.”
The only thing that Gerken wouldn't say was that he needed Yale's help to master the Ice Essence because that would be too shameful to admit in front of Ange.
After speaking, Ange and Gerken left. Lily remained behind because Ange didn't want that she had any interaction with Yale as that would harm her.
They teleported directly from one planet to the other thanks to a portal created by Yale in his last visit, so they didn't need to spend time traveling.
Yale and Lina were quite surprised when Ange appeared with Gerken, but before they could say anything, Ange went to hug them.
”How do you dare to go to war without telling me about it? I won't be joining the war, don't worry. However, you should have thought about how I would feel if you left to war without saying farewell to me. If I hadn't discovered it and any of you died there, I would have never able to forgive myself for having lost the chance to bid you farewell.”
Ange had matured a lot and wouldn't just throw her life for the sake of others. She was still good-natured and loved peace, but she wouldn't act like a fool.
She could understand why her parents didn't want to tell her because based on how she used to be, it wouldn't have been strange if she became a human shield in a moment of danger to protect someone else.
However, meeting Lily helped her to change her point of view. If Yale hadn't disappeared in Ange's previous life and turned overly powerful the next time they met, she would have probably matured in the same way.
For Lily's sake, she couldn't die. Lily needed her, so she would be there.
Ange's love for Lily was pure sisterly love; it was different from the feeling that Lily developed towards Ange, but that didn't mean that Ange didn't care about her.
She didn't truly understand romantic love, nor felt any need to understand it.
After she recovered her memories, Ange had noticed about Lily's feelings, but despite knowing about them, nothing changed between them. Ange didn't mind if Lily saw her only as a sister or was in love with her.
Lily had never made the intent to speak about it, nor she planned to do because she knew that Ange wasn't interested in those things and Lily was happy being Ange's little sister, so she didn't plan to confess her love.
