125 What I Want 2 (1/2)

Near a clear lake of the spatial world, Ri sat next to a handsome boy on a rock as they watched the kids play.

The kids had long since cleaned themselves, and Dyon had even sent each of them a new set of clothes to the point where he even included swimming suits. It had already been a week since Dyon had sent them in here. In fact, he sent another 'week's worth' set of food they wouldn't be able to finish for months.

Ri could only sigh. She knew Dyon thought this was his fault. She remembered very clearly how he had said Little Lyla's name at the coliseum. And, when she asked the kids what had happened, they told her that bad men had come looking for their sister Lyla. And now, Dyon was cutting himself off from them as his way of protecting them all.

If Ri knew that Dyon was also an orphan, she'd understand that his pain right now was even deeper than what she assumed.

”Dummy,” she muttered.

Arios, who was sitting beside Ri smiled, ”you're worried about him… I am too, honestly…”

Although Arios didn't voice it to Ri, he was well aware that Dyon had absorbed the demon sage's blood. If he lost control of his emotions, no one would know how long it would take for him to return to himself.

Dyon himself might not even be aware he was slipping. To the point where he hadn't even read any of Madeleine's messages for the past week.

Ri sent a glance towards Arios, ”you sure you can't tell me about all of you?”

Arios shook his head, ”if Dyon hasn't told you yet, he must have a reason for it.”

Ri nodded. She understood and wasn't too bothered. In fact, although she was worried for Dyon, she often disappeared for weeks if not months at a time without seeing her father, so she wasn't worried about headmaster Acacia worrying.

Ri sighed, ”I hope he's alright…”

Outside of the spatial world, Dyon was immersed in his reading. It was an odd sight. He had hundreds of books stacked around him as he closed his eyes in meditation.
