Chapter 171: What Zero Wants

Ruth left quickly to get Zero's orders. There weren't many customers now that it was close to late afternoon. Whatever Zero and King Yama were chatting about sounded important. He didn't want to seem like he was meddling or spying on them so he brought heir orders up quickly.

Before Ruth could open the door, he heard his name being mentioned. Curiosity made him stay outside the door to listen in on their conversation.

"What are you going to do about Ruth? He isn't some kind of stray animal you can rescue and raise."

Zero made a weird noise. "I know... I didn't think that he would be so resistant against my help. Have you seen him? He's only a child yet he's been through so much! I can heal his body but I can't heal his heart and mind... it's frustrating."

Although Ruth couldn't see it, he could imagine Enma rolling his eyes.

"Zero, you can't possibly save everyone. The world is too big."
