"Charlotte! W-Where are you going!?"
…
(Orion POV)
Cy's house, which was really his mother's house, was very far away, and I guess it made sense since it was practically in the slums.
The slums weren't very slummy as the houses weren't made of scrap wood, but I guess they were still very dilapidated and unkempt.
Most of the roads were actually roads but just like the houses, very unkempt, most having tons of large cracks in them.
As soon as we arrived at his street, we noticed a convenience store nearby, so we bought so gifts for his sweet family who could warm the heart of anybody.
I an, if we were going to et angels, we might as well give them a gift, right?
Anyway, after buying so snacks, we exited the store and saw three n who exuded powerful auras.
They were definitely users of a weapon rather than magic as no magic-user could exude such a strong pressure.
And as we didn't feel like getting into deep trouble today, we waited a bit before… going in the direction that they were going.
What a terrible coincidence for us.
And yes, we found him… but he was a little different.
He looked as if he was about to break down crying as it seed the three n we saw earlier were bullying his angelic mother.
"Doesn't she look like she's about to leave?" Findir asked as we peeked around the corner of a broken house.
"Yeah, what's *sniff* up with that suitcase?" Aisa added, and all of a sudden, Cy's grandmother ca rushing out of their houses, tears dripping from her face.
"Charlotte! W-Where are you going!?" She cried out before falling to the ground.
She winced in pain, but Cy quickly rushed over to her in order to check up on her as she was very fragile and old.
"Grandma, are you okay?" He asked before shooting a glare at the three n who just cackled at the sight before them.
All of this was happening while the mother faced the opposite direction of the two as if she didn't even have a shred of love for them anymore.
"Wait… Ah, I see… So that's already begun as well, huh?" I muttered as I noticed the slightly furled eyebrows on the woman's face, indicating her frustration and sadness mingling into one suppressed expression.
"What do you see? You can't just talk to yourself in front of us," Findir said, and I then slowly turned towards him.
"Sorry, I completely forgot you were here," I muttered, and Aisa giggled to herself a bit.
"Bastard…"
Seemingly nothing else was happening in the exchange between the group and as the three continued to laugh.
"Let's go. We have nothing to do with them anymore," The mother said, and Cy's expression practically collapsed with his body.
"Kekekekeke… Well, kids like these end up becoming strong for the sake of revenge, so I think we should just eliminate him now, right? I an, you wouldn't care since you have nothing to do with them anymore," One of the n said with a sadistic smile, and my eyes turned cold.
"Let's fucking go! The boss isn't going to wait long!" Cy's mother shouted again with a face brimming with anger.
All of a sudden, one of the n stepped up to her with cold eyes and then grabbed her throat before pulling her towards him.
"We got a hierarchy here, and you're just a lowly soldier that gave up everything for money, so shut the hell up and stay out of our way. We do what we want," He said before pushing her to the ground.
The other two n then slowly walked towards the innocent grandma and Cy, but before they could kick them, a fiery blast exploded in both of their faces.
"Hah… Hah… Hah… I might be a geezer, but that doesn't an I can't fight for the sake of my daughter!" Cy's grandfather said as he rushed out of the house and conjured another two fireballs.
Shit, this is bad!
As I went to stand up, a shadowy figure appeared before , and though I felt barely any fear, my body was frozen in place.
It was the sa for Aisa and Findir, as they were right next to .
I could only move my eyes, and just as I tried to get a better look at the shadowy figure, it had disappeared in an instant.
BAM
The sound of a fist colliding with flesh rung through the air, and the grandpa who had stood up to protect his family was sent to the ground.
The punch had just enough strength to cause severe pain, but it also had just enough so it wouldn't knock him out.
Fuck, this is bad. Cy will completely crumble if his grandpa ends up dying here… MOVE BODY! MOVE!
Even when I tried activating so skills, I only got errors within my system, but it wasn't an interference by a god.
If it really was, then it would've said interference by a higher being, but that was nowhere to be seen in sight.
All that there was to see was,
[Error] [Error] [Error] [Error] [Error] [Error] [Error] [Error] [Error]
Everything was an error, and what was even more strange, the shadowy figure didn't even kill us as if he wanted us to watch the despair and fall of Cy.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
The two n kicked the old man joyfully as he cried out in pain.
Cy tried to save him, but he was just thrown away as if he was nothing more than a bug in their eyes.
"Hick… Hick… Hick… Stop! STOP!" Cy shouted, and for the first ti ever, I saw him cry.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM
Soon, the grandfather lost consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, they moved on to the grandmother, who was practically shivering in fear.
"STOP!" Cy shouted, but he was held back by the third guy, who continued to cackle like a goblin.
