"Poor thing. Don't worry, we have co here with a special friend. You must already know of him, right, Lord Drake, the savior of our sect," said Mikohi.
"D-Drake? Ah! I-It is truly an honor to et you! Thanks for your aid…" she said, bowing her head very Japanese-like. Her beauty was apparent due to her bloodline, she looked like a younger and even more angelic? version of Mikohi, with soft skin, pale, blue-colored skin, long snow white hair, beautiful pink eyes, and a slender and refined figure, breaking the norm of the "burly and muscular won" that the ice giant usually have.
"Don't worry about formalities. We have co to find your child, he'll co back with us to the Jade Snake Sect and I will present him to the people there, he will ask for forgiveness." I said.
"Eh? But that will get Shouta killed! Please reconsider!" she cried.
"He won't die on my watch. Anyone that dares to touch the young prince will be taught a lesson by ." I said.
"S-So confident… will you protect Shouta-kun?" asked Kokoro.
"I will. I won't let him die. I will only bring him there so everyone can hear his apology. Apologizing for killing soone would never amount to anything but… he has to do it as a proof of respect." I said.
"V-Very true… I guess… As long as you don't kill my only son…" sighed Kokoro.
"Don't worry, dear, we'll take good care of him, I promise you I will also protect him with my powers." Said Mikohi.
"Auntie… Thanks…" she sighed.
We quickly entered the building, and we slowly made our way towards Shouta's room.
Knock, knock.
"Shouta? Are you there? Dear, we got guests… It is sothing very important." said Kokoro.
"…"
However, nobody answered.
I had a bad feeling about this.
I quickly opened the door, only to find nobody.
"Huh? There's nobody here?" asked Mikohi.
The window was open, Shouta had escaped?
Did he sensed us and escaped, thinking we were going to kill him?
"Ah, Shouta-kun! W-Where are you?!" asked Kokoro, looking everywhere.
I expanded my Mana Sense and quickly found several living beings all around, all the people of the sect.
I walked near the window and looked around, analyzing each living person using the System's ability.
Ding!
Oh, the plaza.
"I can sense him, he's not too far away from us, let's go." I said.
"Oh? Y-You can sense him?!" asked Kokoro.
"He knows his stuff." Said Mikohi.
"Okay then, let's take the stairs… Eh?!" cried Kokoro, as Benladann grabbed her with her arms.
"No ti for that dear." She said, as we jumped out of the window and I used my Wind Magic to lift everyone up into the air, we flew directly towards where Shouta was, everyone followed .
"Uwaaaaaaaaahh! W-We are flying! Ahhh! I-I am going to die! Nooooo!" Kokoro began to cry like? a baby… I can already tell she's not a fighter at all and simply lives comfortably as a mber of royalty… being afraid of heights as an ice giant is very… disappointing.
Oh well, there's always people like this. I suppose we must use our own strength to protect those that don't grow stronger but grow more intelligent and are in charge of other things. After all, Mikohi told before that Kokoro takes care of finances and does a crap load of paperwork for the sect at her young age, so she's like the office worker of the sect…
Due to that, I can see in her status that she had developed abilities such as [High-Speed Writing], [Concentration], and even things such as [Fatigue Resistance]… She's really dedicated to her work.
They're the perfect Skills for writers… now that I think about it.
"Uwaaahh… I am going to throw up… Gueeeghhh…" Kokoro began to vomit over the ground, Benladann felt a bit disgusted…
"Ugh, did you had to do that?" she sighed.
"Kokoro! Sigh…" sighed Mikohi.
"Aghh…" Kokoro seed sickly, but her Fatigue Resistance kicked in and made her more comfortable out of nowhere.
"Agh, I think I am better now…" she sighed.
She was really quite the handful.
And I just detected Shouta.
He was in the middle of the forest…
-----
Shouta knew that sothing was tornting him, he could feel it, he had been feeling it with every inch of his body...
Since he did such an atrocity as killing soone by accident after he responded badly to him that things had gone horrendously wrong all the way down.
But it could be said that things started when his father died back then…
All his life had begun to be torn apart, breaking into pieces, and never truly recovering back to how it was.
His father was his greatest emotional pillar, without him, he felt broken.
His mother was a nice woman, a gentle and strong-willed girl, but without his father figure, he felt like that was not enough support for his ntal instability.
Since he was young that he was born weaker than other kids, as a boy with only a single lotus petal in the family, he was often looked down by many, even while being the grandson of the sect master's brother.
To make things worse, his grandpa was missing, and the sister of his grandpa was angered at him for the thing he had done.
He recalled that day quite clearly, the man he had et wasn't a good person per say, he was offending him and bullying him when they et, it was a small eting between the two sects, as they were growing more friendly with one another.
Shouta was being constantly picked up by this young man, until he had tried to go outside of the party but ended being followed by him and his thugs…
