I had to admit the sight of a young girl, closer to my age in those ragged clothes consoling her mother who seed too exhausted to even speak struck a cord inside my heart.
Sensing that soone had entered, both of them looked at who was standing by the door.
Maybe they saw the high-quality clothes that I was wearing or maybe it was because of my handso face.
Whatever the reason was, upon seeing the young girl got scared,
"M-Mister, you must be from the electricity departnt."
"It's only one day more since the deadline passed."
"I have already got a job and will surely pay the bills."
"Please don't cut off our electricity. My mother is sick and needs constant warmth. We can live without light and fan but if there is no electricity, the heater won't be able to turn on and mother will feel cold."
"Please Mister."
-the young girl hurriedly kneeled over and begged in her most desperate tone.
'Oof, from Claire I knew Shouta's family was in poor condition, but this does not seem poor, this seems a dire situation.'
'Does she mistake for soone who ca to collect the electricity bill?'
I too kneeled down and held the trembling shoulders of the crying girl.
"Radhika, I am not here to collect so bills."
"I am a friend of your brother."
Yes, from Claire's investigations I already knew the na of Shouta's younger sister was Radhika and his mother's na was Michelle.
Radhika's eyes widened upon hearing my words.
"Fr-Friend of brother?"
"Yes", I spoke in an assuring tone.
It was ti for my world-class acting skills to play its role~
I sighed deeply~
My tone beca emotional…heck, to seem real I even shed so tears.
"Yes Radhika, I am your brother's friend Elandor."
Hearing speaking with such an emotion, I successfully caught the attention of both Radhika as well as Michelle lying on the bed.
Both of them were earnestly looking to what I was to say.
"I don't know if I should say it but seeing you I could no longer hide it… and Shouta had a fight so days back. I overheard him saying that he had a younger sister nad Radhika and a sick mother, Michelle."
"He got angry when he realized that I eavesdropped on him. I don't know why he wanted to keep a secret about you guys. I said I wanted to help you since my friend's sister and mother are like my own sister and mother. My dad used to teach that if we have the ability we must help the one who is related to us. But sadly, Shouta didn't agree with my logic and instead got angry when I talked about it."
There were slight tears falling from my eyes, the acting must be flawless~
Life is like a play, one must act as everything depends on the act. Only when everything is impeccable from our side can we expect the best outco.
"I can understand that I must have hurt Shouta's self-esteem, he must himself want to earn and help his sister and mother. Therefore, it was only reasonable for him to get angry and quarrel with . Haha, he even said we are not friends and he will never talk to again."
"But, I couldn't watch it and sneakily got his family's address and details from the admission office."
"And, when I ca here and saw such a sight I froze at the door."
"Y-You guys have been through so much."
Hearing my words both Radhika and Michelle were silent.
A friend visits his friend's house but instead of seeing a happy picture and being served tea and sweets, he sees the sister and mother crying.
The mood only beca more gloomy~
This was what I wanted to get inside the picture I needed to arouse their emotions. It's said one can only connect better while sharing sadness. The effect was already visible as both of them had stopped crying.
I knew it was ti to force a climax.
Their agitated and hopeless hearts needed a ray of light,
…A ray of hope~
No, they did not need it, their hearts sought it.
Patting Radhika's trembling back I got up and walked closer to Michelle lying on the bed.
I looked for a few seconds.
"I can cure your mother, Radhika."
Bang~~
Like sothing burst open in their head, it was like a sun which forced open in their darkest nights to spread its rays, giving hope that there can be light again.
Both of them forgot about all the sad things they were thinking and looked at , not even blinking once.
Under their bewildered eyes, I held Michelle's hand and closed my eyes.
After forty seconds I released her hands.
"Indeed, it is as I expected."
"I can really cure you, Miss."
"Re-Really?" - the lips of Michelle which had not been opened for so ti because of sadness and depression that she could not get up again finally parted.
"Yes, since I have said so much I will be honest with both of you."
"I have lots of secrets and I can indeed cure you."
Not believing what I said, Radhika got up and hurriedly rushed to and held my hands.
"The doctor said if we need to cure my Mother's illness we need at least soone with a Mortal God level of strength but how poor people like us afford to see such a strong person. Can you really do it?"
I had already checked Michelle's condition using my dragon eyes. Actually, the problem was quite simple, she had a special physique and as a result, various ridians in her body were blocked. All she needed was soone to channel their internal energy inside them and let the energy flow through the ridians, unblocking them.
Because of the knowledge that I inherited in the last world, I knew due to various hereditary reasons- there were various innate physiques in the world which needed their ridians to be unblocked via external help, only after unblocking the ridians with internal energy can their body beco stronger. Otherwise, they would end up getting sick due to clogging of their inner strength and will thus, eventually end up only falling sick.
