Last of Reunions and Death Matches
Part 1
When they had returned to Wildart city, what cairl’s wounds
Maria, Yuki, and Mio were all heavily injured when going against Nebula's high class spirit, and they had used up a lot of strength The physician had also said they need a lot of rest -- although the unconscious Mio had no outer injuries, using Wilbert’s power had nostic results said that they only needed rest and that they were not in any life-threatening danger, a large weight was finally lifted from Basara’s heart
After that, Zest and Basara went to another room to receive treatment When it came to an end--
“—Zest, I’ll be leaving them under your care”
“Yes, Basara-saht at all, please try to return as soon as possible, and don’t force yourself”
“Alright, I understand… Once I'm done, I'll return immediately”
His condition was just as Zest feared, receiving a high class spirits' surprise attack froiven hiet convalesce [1] To be honest, he was very tired right now, and he very much would like to just lie do and sleep
--But before that happens, he must speak with a certain someone first
It wasn’t Ramusas or Claus -- Mio has already decided to cut com to contact theh class de future plans Since the city was also attacked, it has affected the livelihood of the refugees, and temporary accommodation must be procured for them now
…And also
After the battle, the h class demon from the enemy side Nebula had died from the explosion of the master-servant contract curse, while Gardo had an arether with Basara from the surprise attack from the spirit, but his injuries weren't fatal As this incident may officially spark a war between both sides, Gardo is quite the bargaining chip As to his disposal, it must be carefully considered
As to what are the important matters now, Basara had no clue about it Ramusas as the leader of thefor him
…Just let him be I do want Mio and Yuki to rest for now after all
Once their issues are properly handled, our strength would’ve probably almost recovered by then
Then again, there would probably be no harain
Basara cut across the Wildart that is currently in a , and came to the courtyard Here, thewounded soldiers or seeing to the reseltees, and so they were very busy But--
『————————』
The gazes of the people who are very busy would occasionally go onto a particular person That person was leaning his back on the city wall, with a cigarette in histhe hustle and bustle That person was – Toujou Jin
…They can't be blamed…
After all, from the previous war, he was known as the [God of War], the strongest hero Even for the Moderate Faction, asking the de very difficult
Basara went towards Jin, and when he noticed hi him--
“…Hai, Basara How have you been recently?”
He slightly chuckled while posing this question to hih they finally reunited in the Deed
“I’ed to tide over it after all… And it was very thrilling”
He shrugged while replying:
“The head of the household once toldthe family falls onto the eldest son”
“…I see”
Basara immediately continued, as if cold water had been poured on him from Jin’s reply
“What […I see] …Isn’t that justtoo short? You have not seen your son in a long ti else other than that to say to your son?”
After Jin left the Toujou Residence, Basara’s days as the adult head had always been on the edge
At first, it was protect Mio and Maria as a family After that, both Yuki and Kuruht for his and their lives until today Hearing Basara say so--
“You are my son that I a would be fine?”
He then lightly patted Basara’s head
“Take a look… I wasn’t wrong, was I?”
Seeing his father’s s to live up to his father’s expectations, and--
…Uhty about?
Feeling a sudden burst of shyness,he pushed Jin’s hand away
Because he then suddenly re about just now
Normally, he had the viewpoint of a brother and a master And as their brother and master, Mio and the rest had often tried to spoil him, he had never done the same to them Additionally, in Basara’s heart, Jin was the one he respected the most, and even from the perspective of a person or a man, he could never hope to match him
-- Fro to now, no matter how difficult the situation he was in, he had never even once thought [if only Jin was here]… Of course, Jin’s phone had a special ical chip installed, so he could contact him whenever he wanted Everytime he survived a life or death situation or a difficult situation, he would always report it to Jin
But honestly speaking, for the events involving Takigawa, Takashi+ and the rest being sent by the [Village], and Zolgear, if Jin was present back then, the situation would’ve been resolved with the least ae
The hopes of being acknowledged and praised by his father was already lodged in his heart froo It’s just--
…Just how old do I think I am…
He slightly blushed It was good that he had come alone… If his current state was seen by Mio and the rest, Maria would’ve definitely taken advantage of the situation to embarrass him
“Ah… That’s right, dad What did you come here for?”
He tried to do aith the aardness, and changed the topic
“You had said that you had come to the deht? If I re place tofor?”
At this point, he slightly shi+fted his line of sight--
“The one you coht…?”
A de a certain distance fro here That demon was by Jin’s side when he had coer
“Eh? Oh, no, that’s not him I had taken a little detour on my way here Some stuff happened, and since ere chu with ht, Fio?”
“………………Did that even happen?”
The teen called Fio replied with a dirty look to the s Jin
“…You met up with him on your way here…?”
“Don’t think tooplayful”
Towards Basara as rolling his eyes, Jin said to hi his mood:
“Fio, we hu -- at home, you rely on your parents Away from home, you rely on your friends”
“What does that have to do withme your friend!”
Fio had shouted that while holding his head, and continued:
“Ah ha, oodness… I had better make my way to the lord’s capital iAWOL isn't soht now I can’t re to reimburse me!?”
“………………Dad, do re a teen is a crime…”
“Weird… I do re his consent for this…”
”That better be the case… It looks like that he is about to break down anyti that aside, he had said the lord’s capital--”
Without finishi+ng his sentence…
The city suddenly shook, with a [Boo it
“Eh…!” “Did the eneain…?” “Everyone stay calm! Prepare your weapo—“
As if feeling shock and fear still re the spirits, panic instantly spread quickly
“—Oi, I have a question for you”
Just then, Jin said that towards a soldier who seemed to have the rank of a captain
