READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 51: (2)
Still, Kaiyan couldn’t ignore the expectations of the uncles, so after organizing his thoughts briefly, he spoke up.
“Well… Maybe we should wait a few more days?”
“A few days? Are you talking about staying at Panielun?”
“Yes.”
“Why? It would be troublesome for us if we arrived in Gami-an later.”
Uncle Jeff was right. Normally, the Allied Forces wouldn’t care about the life or death of three soldiers, whether they were alive or dead. But if we return with only the three of us, having lost the commander, the other knights, and the remaining soldiers, the story would change.
“So, I suggest we wait. Until the commander comes out of the habitat.”
“Commander… You mean waiting for Tarien?”
It’s possible that the elderly knights and their group crossed paths while they were still struggling to escape the habitat. They might have come out faster than them and already joined the Gami-an support unit. However…
“At that time, we were short on provisions. Moreover, Tarien went without food for days.”
There are no animals to hunt in the monster habitat. The only things there are monsters.
It’s unlikely that they would have hunted toxic monsters for food.
“They would be lucky if they found some fruits.”
Unlike us, who supplied provisions from the store, the elderly knights must have spent a considerable amount of time looking for food. So, even if they were faster, it would have taken them at least four days or more.
“They haven’t… They haven’t come out yet. If they rescued Tarien, that is.”
“Hmm, if you say so.”
“Well, I agree. Walking any further is beyond my limit.”
Both uncles nodded in agreement with my suggestion and took a seat.
“Kaiyan, you should sit down and rest too.”
“Yeah, you’ve been through a lot, kid.”
‘…’
Kaiyan couldn’t respond immediately to their suggestion to sit down.
‘…I’ve done everything I can here.’
From the uncles’ perspective, it’s only fair to receive compensation and solve various problems by joining forces with the elderly knights. But when Kaiyan thought back to the boiling anger and resentment at that time, he have no desire to meet him again.
“I don’t want to go back to Gami-an.”
After a brief hesitation, Kaiyan spoke the words he had been thinking in his mind.
“Huh? What are you saying, Kaiyan?”
“Are you saying you’ll stay in Panielun?”
The uncles’ strong reactions were already expected. Kaiyan continued to speak the words he had been thinking.
“There’s nothing left for me to do if I go back to Gami-an. But that doesn’t mean I’ll stay in Panielun either. I plan to return to my hometown. After all, the war is over.”
“Well, still… it’s so sudden.”
Uncle Jeff closed his eyes, and Uncle Max continued to look at Kaiyan with a regretful expression.
Honestly, Kaiyan feels a sense of loss too. If the uncles leave, he’ll be alone again after losing his family.
However, it’s not like he can continue to stick with them even after the war is over. They have their own families.
‘If we have to part ways, it’s better for me to leave from here.’
“While I’m at it, I’ll go now.”
“Kid!”
They could have had a little more time to talk, but the longer the farewell dragged on, the more regretful it would become.
Besides, just because they say goodbye now doesn’t mean they’ll never see each other again.
“Kaiyan.”
Uncle Jeff, who had his eyes closed, softly called his name.
“I was worried when you first joined our unit.”
“Your eyes were filled with venom.”
“And most people like that die on the battlefield early.”
That was true at that time. Kaiyan was filled with venom in both his eyes and his heart, solely focused on revenge.
“I wanted to help you. But you became an admirable soldier, handling the intense battlefield without my help.”
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
If it weren’t for Uncle Jeff’s help, Kaiyan would have died a long time ago, whether he was already a player or not.
No matter what others say, Uncle Jeff is his benefactor and mentor.
“So, live with confidence from now on. If you have that determination, you can achieve anything.”
“Uncle Jeff…”
“Kaiyan, do you remember where I live?”
Kaiyan remembers hearing about it before. Uncle Jeff resides in Ellen Territory, one of the Arshia Kingdom’s provinces.
“Yes…”
“That’s all I needed to know. If you need rest, feel free to come visit me. Well, you can just drop by anytime.”
Pat, pat.
Uncle Jeff roughly patted Kaiyan’s head, and for a moment, he felt his emotions welling up. But the expression on Uncle Max’s face next to him helped calm his heart.
“Heh… This is ridiculous… I’m not a person who cries easily.”
“Uncle Max, why are you crying?”
“No, I’m not usually like this… Well… Kaiyan, make sure to visit me when you come to the Arshia Kingdom!”
“Haha, I got it. I’ll definitely come.”
Arshia Kingdom and Ellen Territory. Kaiyan has to visit both uncles again, no matter what.
“Well then, I’ll really go now.”
He turned his back to the uncles and walked away slowly.
Step by step.
“Take care, Kaiyan!”
“Kaiyan! Call me ‘big brother’ when we meet again!”
The uncles waved their hands vigorously.
Just as Kaiyan felt like stopping his steps immediately, the uncles would also feel regretful.
The time the three of them spent together on the intense battlefield was special and precious.
“Oh, if you look in the supply bags, I left a gift! Check it later!”
With those words, Kaiyan quickly walked away, leaving the uncles behind.
The gift he left for the uncles was four recovery potions that were stored in his inventory.
Potions are easy to sell, and they can be useful in various situations, so it would be a good gift for the uncles.
Crackle.
A burning heat was felt between his tightly clenched fingers.
He closed his eyes for a moment and organized his thoughts.
‘…Now, all that’s left is for me to grow.’
