《Mana Odyssey》Chapter 154 :Alice way too cheer up
Advertisement
Dad tries to cheer me up, but I ignore him, seeing this Lune tries to talk me, but I told her I wanted to be alone for a while. I lay on the bed not moving an inch.
I don't know how much time pasted as I start to curse.
"GODDAMMIT!!!! DAMM IT !!! WHY AM I SO WEAK!!!!"(Forvish)
This room is soundproofed so no one will hear me! These ten years were wasted just like that. I can't protect myself from my parents even now including Luna.
Someone knocks at the door. I wanted to be alone for a while, but it didn't stop so I went to open the door. It was Alice she must be worried about me.
"Can I come in?"(Alice)
I nod, I can't think of anything to get her to leave. So this is fine, but I didn't let her in.
"Forvish.."(Alice)
"Alice, I know this rude of me, but can you please leave me alone for a while."(Forvish)
"No.....I can't, I can't leave you alone I want to comfort you. Please let me!! "(Alice)
She grabs my hands as I was hesitant to reject her, I let her in. Then she says to me.
"Forvish, please don't blame yourself."(Alice)
"Why are you saying stuff like what dad was saying? It is clearly my fault!"(Forvish)
Dad said the same things to me, but from every point of view it is clearly my fault. It is because me being weak.
"It is because I am weak!! I can't protect anyone!! I am just a failure!!"(Forvish)
As alice tried to say something. I continue talking.
"I train everyday! I study!! All of that because I want to protect what is important to me!! I want to make them happy!! But in the end I can't make even one girl happy!"(Forvish)
Alice stays silent, she must be surprised.
"But no matter what I do, I can't even protect one girl! I am failure."(Forvish)
"NO, you aren't!!!"(Alice)
This is the first time that Alice is angry at me.
"Forvish, you are strong, far stronger than me! Living with you already shows me that."(Alice)
"It is because you are suppo-"(Forvish)
"No it isn't!!"(Alice)
She cuts me off from finishing my line. Then she suddenly hugged me.
"Forvish, you aren't weak at all!!! Maybe compared to your parents you are weak, but to us you aren't!! You are stronger than anyone I know."(Alice)
......I can't answer her, my mind is blank.
"Maybe you failed to protect her! But you protected me! Remember? You defeated the crazy stalker that wanted me. It is the same for everyone! You saved us all!!"(Alice)
"Maybe you fail to make her happy right now, but you make us happy!!! You give us a nice life, unforgetable memorys and many, many things."(Alice)

"Still..."(Forvish)
I try to hold back my tears.
"Forvish, please cheer up already!! I know you are sad, but you should know as long she lives you still got chance to help her!!! Don't run from the truth, don't curse yourself."(Alice)
"But..."(Forvish)
"Your efforts aren't wasted, our happiness is already proof of that! Please cheer up!!"(Alice)
I fell on my knees, I cry bitterly. Alice comforts me, as she was crying also. I cry for a long time, it is the first time I cry this much. I promised myself, no matter what I must keep strong. To protect my family...No every person I love.
Then I fall to sleep.
(Narator POV)
Before he fell asleep, she lead Forvish to bed. After he was sleeping, Alice went outside. When she is outside she noticed that everyone is waiting for her.
"Kind mom. Is dad fine?"(Lune)
"Yes. He has finally calm down."(Alice)
Lune was worried the most, at the most important time she can't be with him. If only she was with him he maybe could have stood a chance. Suddenly Ken smacked the wall.
"Shit, If only I can help him."(Ken)
"No, if Forvish didn't stand a chance there is no way we would be of any help, we will only be burden."(Iris)
"Then what should we do!!"(Melina)
Hearing this everyone can only accept it. What Iris says is true. They are weaker than him, how could they stand a chance?
"I will train. I want to stay by his side."(Riese)
"Looks like my research will be stop, but for the person I love it is worth it."(Jessica)
They need to develop their strength further.
"Onee-chan, please help Onii-chan!!"(Celin)
Celin, begs her sister, but there is no reason to ask her, she already plan to be with him forever.
"I will show him the power of the little sister."(Miyuri)
"Even if I become a monster, I will be fine because he will love me no matter what I am."(Aulia)
Shiroyuki still is silent, but she already knows what she must do.
"I will help him....I want to repay him."(Shiroyuki)
Seeing this Lumiere becomes distant from everyone else. She just recently got to know him. For saving his mother she wants to help him. But how? And why?
She knows even if she repaid him. She still is willing to help him. The reason she won't know is until the future.
(Forvish POV)
?????(unknown place)
I woke up in this place again, but today Lune isn't here. So I woke up, I try to see noire again. She is still cudled up.
".......pa..pa..."(Noire)
I heard her voice, immediately i tried to ask her.

"Noire!"'(Forvish)
"Please .....cheer....p
..i ...kn..o...w....yo...u ...c.a...n...he...lp..mom."(Noire)
Then I tried to ask her again, but she doesn't answer....I am so pathetic. Even If I failed I can still try. Alice even get angry at me. Now I must stand up .
"Noire, I will unseal you and I will save your mother. I promise!!"(Forvish)
"So you are here dad."(Lune)
Lune came she must be worried.
"Sorry, Lune."(Forvish)
"No humans are perfect, so it is ok. Dad..please cheer up, I believe in you."(Lune)
She cheer me up, I pat her head. Really, I have a nice family. I am an idiot not to notice it sooner.
"Okay, let's wake up. I promised you ice cream right? Let's make everyone happy"(Forvish)
"Nn!"(Lune)
(Narator POV)
While Forvish was in his dream realm . Leon, Helia and Sirrus wanted to ask them. They are too much.
"Kyle, Claire....Why you can let Luna be with him?"(Leon)
"Isn't it clear? Because Forvish is to dangerous."(Kyle)
Kyle is still same as ever, he stated a fact like it is nothing. But his eyes contain sadness.
"Leon, we can't let him hurt our daughter."(Claire)
This of is a course lie. They don't want Forvish to know. No matter what they tried to kill him because they are scared of him.
"Such a thing is a lie, If you really wanted that, you would have killed him already without Luna noticing. The truth is you love him don"t you."(Sirrus)
Sirrus can read people easily because he needs this kind of ability to protect his friends also his daughter because he doesn't really have any firepower at all.
"......."(Kyle)
"If it is that true then why?"(Helia)
Helia asked them with worries.
"I will give you a hint."(Claire)
"Hey, Claire!!"(Kyle)
"Forvish's ability is too control Dark Energy."(Claire)
She told her lie. It is far beyond that if they fought they will fail to kill Kyle's brother. That's why she told lies. With this at least they will gone.
"Don't lie to me. Claire what you are hiding."(Leon)
......Leon noticed.
"Leon, I will say one thing when he awakens his mana, you better call us. If you don't want anyone to be killed.(Kyle)
"Are you crazy? Why shoud I call you so you can kill him?"(Leon)
Leon mock hims for the first time he didn't understand his best friend's thinking at all.
"I am sane, Leon looks like you think of Forvish too lightly. You don't know anything."(Kyle)
Hearing this Sirrus is a bit suspicious about their real reason. If he is that dangerous why haven't you killed him? If you love him why do you try to kill him?
"Let me tell you one thing, Leon 5 years before he was sealed he already defeated 10 mercenarys by himself."(Kyle)
"Are you crazy? There is no way that is possible?"(Leon)
What crap is he spouting? Such a thing is impossible. Even if he awakens his mana such a thing is impossible. To awaken mana that early you already genius.
"This is real story but I still remember the battlefield, White sword piercing all the men, all of them ain't dead, but they can't move. Some of them even passed out."(Kyle)
"So, you choose to kill him?"(Leon)
" ......Yeah, because we are scared."(Kyle)
.....They are scared not because of that, power is just power, but they are more scared because they found a corpse. What's more it was burned so they never knew its identity. They were afraid...Forvish killed him..
"I don't believe you, you are never afraid anything before. You are hiding something from us, right kyle."(Sirrus)
Kyle didn't answer, Leon is an idiot, but Sirrus is the problem here. A normal lie can't get pass him.
"Well, even if we ask bit further we can't get anymore useful information. So how about a deal?"(Sirrus)
At first Sirrus didn't want to have anything to do with it, because kyle is tight lipped. So asking him by talking is impossible, but he already done so much for her daughter and his family. He will return a persons kindness with kindness and humiliation with humiliation. It is his motto.
"Kyle, I know you came here because your brother escaped."(Sirrus)
"Really? Why don't I know?"(Leon)
"........"(Helia)
Everyone is speechless.
Helia thought...He is so stupid.
"Then don't just read pornbooks, watch tv or just read the newspaper, don't just sleep or read pornbooks."(Sirrus)
"........."(Leon)
"Well Kyle, the terms are we will capture him for you. The criminal probably is hiding in Princess Staff Academy because Forvish is there you can't move freely. To begin with you don't plan to let Forvish know right? So let us capture him for you."(Sirrus)
"What's in it for me?"(Kyle)
"You tell us everything about Forvish. About his mana, the reason to kill him and his real birthday. Everything you know about him."(Sirrus)
Hearing that everyone gives him a blatant look....His real birthday?
"What?"(Sirrus)
Sirrus is embarassed, at least he wanted to celebrate his birthday because he is his future son in law.
"Heh, so that boy is pretty much a lady killer huh. Must be from Leon."(Kyle)
"No, it is clearly from you."(Claire)
"Are you crazy? There is no way it is from me. Right?(Kyle)
As he jokes
Everyone nods their head...Kyle can only facepalm.
"I will accept, but he needs to be captured alive. If he is dead then forget about it."(Kyle)
"Deal."(Sirrus)

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky.

The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
