Chapter 475: The Boy\'s Despair

-----

"Poor thing. Don\'t worry, we have come here with a special friend. You must already know of him, right, Lord Drake, the savior of our sect," said Mikohime.

"D-Drake? Ah! I-It is truly an honor to meet 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 Mikohime, 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 women" that the ice giant usually have.

"Don\'t worry about formalities. We have come to find your child, he\'ll come 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 me." 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 someone 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 Mikohime.

"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 something 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 Mikohime.

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!

<Shouta is approximately a kilometer away from this place, if you look at the floor, I\'ve marked in your vision his footsteps, they lead to the nearby forest inside the sect\'s walls, which is often used as a wild area.>

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 Mikohime.

"Okay then, let\'s take the stairs… Eh?!" cried Kokoro, as Benladann grabbed her with her arms.

"No time 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 me.

"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 member 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, Mikohime told me 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 Mikohime.

"Aghh…" Kokoro seemed 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 something was tormenting him, he could feel it, he had been feeling it with every inch of his body...

Since he did such an atrocity as killing someone 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 mental 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 meet wasn\'t a good person per say, he was offending him and bullying him when they meet, it was a small meeting 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…
