THAT DAY I BECAME A STAR

I use physical Angas as well and our fists collide, creating an explosion. Just like with Farner, we are pushed back. So I thought, his physical Angas is a bit stronger than it seems. Though I didn't have the time to go all out so I can't really compare.

"Argh!!!" Only that this time, I am the winner, his gauntlet is broken everywhere and some droplets of blood are pouring out of it. On my side, my fingers are broken…again. Oh well, I suppose it is better than last time.

"I already said enough!"

Suddenly, an unknown force pins me on the floor.

"Hm!!" What is that? What is happening?!!

"Saintess?!"

"I told you two to stop.. I don't want unnecessary bloodshed here. Besides this is a bad example you are showing to the heroes."

William is pinned down as well? When I look at Rebecca, she has her hand raised and it is shining a little. She is the one doing that? Only by raising her hand?! That's some crazy power she got. Killing her might be more difficult than I thought.

Seeing as we have both calmed down, Rebecca lowers her hand and the pressure disappears.

"I…I am sorry. My behavior was unbefitting of a commander and your protector. I hope you will forgive me."

"Don't worry about it."

"As for you…"

"Don't look at me, scum!"

"You!..."

"Are you perhaps a survivor of Tatradum?"

Rebecca, you would really ask that? so you guys don't even recognize your own son?

"As I thought, you guys are really scums. No, even scumbags are be-"

"Stop insulting her!!!"

This time, it is Roxcia that intervenes and stands up in front of Rebecca.

"Do you know how much pain and suffering she went through?!! Do you have any idea how many tears she shed because of the death and pain people endure every day? Who are you to judge her?!!"

"Yeah, she is right on that one."

"You are a nobody and you dare even speak to her like this. Prosperous!"

So, she even managed to fool the heroes, huh…

"Saintess, I don't think he is from Tatradum. I remember pretty much everybody that was from my village. And I don't think I ever saw him there." So, I was right, you don't recognize me. You, my own father…

"Is that so? Then perhaps…An old acquaintance of ours. He seems to particularly hate us."

"I will have to investigate and find-"

"Why are you crying?" Farner is the one who tells me that I am crying. My vision did blurry a bit.

"I thought…No, I didn't think indeed. It was too much to ask of lowlifes like you after all."

"I told you to stop insulting her!" Roxcia jumps on me and pins me down, blocking my throat with her forearm. "Stop insulting her. That's an order."

"Fuck you." I spit on Roxcia's face.

"You!"

"Roxcia, stop." Rebecca orders and she obeys. She really did fool them.

Oh well, sooner or later, when she will betray them as well, they will understand, though it will be too late.

Roxcia stands up and joins them back. When I stand up as well, I can finally, see it. Roxcia, Farner, all of them, encircling Rebecca, together with William. They look exactly like us before. A happy family, with tight and solid bounds. So, I wasn't just that forgot, they completely discarded me from their life to create a new cocoon of happiness.

"What did I even survive for all this time?"

This…This is not how I imagined it would be. No, in the first place, I didn't imagine anything. I just wished you were both dead somewhere and that was that. But now…

"Don't forget your purpose!"

"Cissa?"

"Don't forget why you have to become stronger! You are more than just a human, don't forget that."

"All this time, you didn't even say anything and this is what you came with now? Ah…You dragons are really something else. But…Thank you. I won't forget my purpose. I don't really have the choice anyway."

Yeah, those two can have their happy family for all I care! I have my revenge to take, on Veronica and Demether. Those who killed the ones who really loved me and the Longinus. You guys can play the happy-go-crazy all you want. I will see until when it will last.
