Elana''s POV
With the help of the unknown little girl, we can pass this danger this time. After we take the little girl back to our underground shelter, I am surprised at the news. With the little girl''s help, all the patient has been cured.
-Incredible... (Elana)
This little girl can do many things that adults like me can''t.
-Hah... (Elana)
I sigh helplessly and leave the shelter to take some fresh air. I feel helpless as I can''t protect sister Theresa and let her get injured. This incident really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
-How long do I have to stay like this...? (Elana)
I look at the clear sky while waiting for an answer.
-42 years since her disappearance...And I still haven''t found a single clue about her. (Elana)
I take out a bottle containing green liquids and drink all of it.
-Urgh...It''s disgusting as always. (Elana)
I throw the bottle away and let out another sigh.
-How come only sister Theresa and I haven''t awakened? (Elana)
I close my hand and focus on my right hand.
-Urghh... (Elana)
I can feel a sharp pain on the tip of my right hand. I open my eyes and find my fingers have turned into claws.
-More... (Elana)
But they quickly disappear after a few seconds.
-I can''t maintain it again...Why do I still remain human after all those times? (Elana)
Once I can transform, my overall strength will rise sharply.
-What is so good about saving others? (Elana)
I walk around the church aimlessly while thinking about what sister Theresa told me.
-I''m grateful that sister Theresa saves us...Though, I don''t want to spend more time staying here. (Elana)
To track down "her" is my ultimate purpose.
-Hey, sister...
-Huh? (Elana)
While I''m thinking hard about this problem, an aged man appears from behind and calls out to me.
-You are...? (Elana)
-The sister mays forget about me...
He puts the hand on his chest and gives Elana a polite greeting.
-I am one of the people that was saved by you guys.
-Hah, is that so? (Elana)
-I am also at the scene while you guys are fighting...
I shrug since I don''t pay much attention to him in that chaos.
-What are you doing here? Should you relax down there with your comrade? It hasn''t been a long time since you recover, though. (Elana)
-Ahahah! This old man is still strong...
He shows off his muscle and laughs out loud.
-Whew, okay... (Elana)
I give him a sharp glance and ask him with a considerate voice.
-Then what are you going to do? (Elana)
The man thinks a little before he gives me his answer.
-...I don''t know.
-Then you guys should take the shelter here for the time being. (Elana)
The man scratches his head as he hears my answer.
-Miss doesn''t seem to like us...
-... (Elana)
The man laughs out loud as he waves his hand.
-It''s understandable...
-What do you mean by that? (Elana)
-I overheard miss monologue, so I came to understand why you behave like that.
-... (Elana)
-After all, family is the most important thing to us. You better treasure it.
-Why do you give me some advice like that? (Elana)
-I don''t want others to experience the same pain as me.
-You...? (Elana)
The man looks down with a sad face.
-Because of my pride, I didn''t care about my boy when he ran away. I ignored him and didn''t find him until the end.
-Why did you do that in the first place? (Elana)
-Because he is a mage...
-Hah...You are a true idiot. (Elana)
-You are right...
The man doesn''t tear up and forms a serious face.
-That''s why I don''t want to this war last any longer. Both sides are wrong in this war.
-Hmmm... (Elana)
I turn around and try to get away from the man.
-This may be a bit of old news for you. But a third force has emerged while you were injured. w
-Huh?
-It may be wise to join that force since you may get what you want there. w
I turn away without waiting for him to speak any further.
-Thank you...
