Chapter 49 The Gentle Giant
"Hey, check this out! The Kirks Republic was destroyed right after we left.”
Jean happily reported this after reading the information paper he had purchased in town.
“Did the Elysia Empire destroy them?”
When Alana asked this while reading a book, Jean replied with a big smile on his face.
"The strongest rider on the continent came from Elysia, Kirks didn't had a chance.”
“Yuto…….He's a real monster…….”
“Alana, do you know him?”
“I had a run-in with him before.”
"Even Yuta will lose?”
"I don't know……knowing Yuto's absolute strength, I'd think Yuta could handle him……I guess it's because I'm in love with him.”
I felt uncomfortable being there, so I decided to go towards Nanami and Farma, who were playing outside the ride carrier.
We were resting in a forest after a long journey. There is a beautiful spring in the forest, where Nanami and Farma are bathing and playing.
"Yikes!”
Suddenly, I heard a scream. That voice was Nanami……I hurriedly ran toward the voice. When I looked, I saw a large bear-like man standing right in front of Nanami and Farma……I jumped in between them.
“Stop!”
I shouted to the man, shaking a little.
"O……ode……go……sorry……I scared you……sorry……”
The man said so sadly……So, he's not a bad guy?
"Um……what can I do for you?”
I asked, and the guy looked like he wanted to say something.
"You won't understand unless I tell you.”contemporary romance
The man began to speak as if he had made up his mind.
"I was worried when I saw that you came into this……big box……where a lot of animals live…”
Apparently, he came to see if we would kill the animals in the forest.
"Don't worry, we don't kill animals.”
The man smiled happily as I said this.
"Ode……Lorgo…….”
“Okay, I'm Yuta, and they're Nanami and Farma.”
“Yuta……Nanami……Farma……remembered……Ode……I'm dumb, but I can remember people's names…….My mom taught me that I should at least remember people's names.”
Lorgo looked scary, like a bear, but the more I talked to him, the more I could tell he was a good guy.
“The animals in this forest……have been hurt badly before……and I couldn't……do anything for them…..That's why I rushed here today…… to protect the animals…….But……Yuta and the others are good people……thank goodness…….”
"Well, Lorgo is kind.”
"Me…… kind?”
“Yes, Lorgo is kind.”
" Kind……hehehe……Ode……is kind……?”
Lorgo was so happy with my words that he repeated the word "kind" over and over again, smiling.
“Why are you so happy?”
"My mother told me a long time ago to be a kind person…….I didn't know how to be a kind person…….Then……”
Lorgo was smiling as he said this, but now he began to shed tears……
“What's wrong with you all of a sudden? Did something sad happen to you?”
"Mom, I remembered……Ode's mom is gone……Ode……misses her……”
“I don't have a mom or dad…….”
“Farma, no mom, no dad…….Ode's dad died last month…….So no dad, no mom…….Farma and Ode…….the same…….”
“I see…….But I'm not lonely. I have Nanami and Yuta now.”
"Farma has both Yuta and Nanami?…..Ode has no one…….Ode….lonely……”
“Lorgo, how about you become friends with me so you won't be so lonely for a bit.”
“Really! You're going to be my friend? No one has ever made friends with me because I'm so ugly…….I'm glad……”
"Then be my friend too, even though I am so ugly…….”
"Farma is not ugly……and I'm happy……to be friends with Farma.”
"Oh, don't just leave Nanami out of this; let's be friends with her too.”
"It's……the best day of my life…….I've made more friends than I can……count.”
Lorgo's smile looked really happy when he said that.
