章 603: The guilt of failing

"Vincent, her death was not your fault. I can judge from what I heard that Shana's mother was stalling for time. I think she felt her daughter was going to be in good hands and offered her passing grade to her daughter before stalling for time."

Sakura said, hoping to comfort Vincent. However, she could see Vincent express the expression of regret and self-blame.

"Vincent. I heard from Kazumi how she would feel her life as a soul would be in danger if she continued using mana. Could Shana's mother have also felt her life nearing its end?" Sakura suggested.

[What Sakura is saying does make sense.] Kazumi agreed with the theory.

"But if you are a special existence to the lizardman race, could it also mean she didn't want to hurt you after explaining using the retainer skill at the expanse of your health?" Sakura questioned while hoping her words could help Vincent stop allowing his guilt to torment him.
