บท 23: Going back with Ur, Gray, and Lyon

Ur immediately left the village with Gray while carrying the unconscious Souta. She knew that news travel fast and many people know that Deliora was dead.

After a few days Souta woke up.

He slowly sat up in the bed. He felt pain all over his body.

"Where is this?" He murmured while looking around at the unfamiliar house.

"You're in that woman's house"

A voice entered Souta's ears. He turned around and saw old man Ryan appeared out of nowhere.

"Hey!! You mean this is Ur's house" Souta said to old man Ryan.

Old man Ryan nodded at him before he said, "well, she do not believe that I'm your master and there she took you"

"So that's what happen" Souta said and he slowly stood up from the bed.

"Ouch!!" Souta cried out in pain as he felt a stinging sensation all over his body.

"That's what you get for over using you're dragon force" old man Ryan said.

Souta walked out of the door. In the outside, he saw Ur in the bikini with Gray and Lyon who were only wearing their trunks.

Ur sense him and she turned around. She saw Souta was standing there in front of the door looking at them.

"You woke up boy" Ur said as she walked towards him.

Souta just smile at her.

"How are you're body?" Ur asked worriedly.

"Well, there's nothing wrong except for the slight pain" Souta replied to her.

Ur then saw old man Ryan walked out of the door.

"What are doing here?" Ur asked as she glared at old man Ryan. She didn't notice how this old man entered her house without her noticing.

She then remembered something that old man Ryan said when they met after they killed Deliora.

She turned her head to Souta and asked, "Is that really you're master?"

"No, he just thought me how to fight that's all" Souta replied to him.

She breathe a sighed of relief after she heard his words. She then lifted up her fist and brought it down to Souta's head.

"Ouch!! What was that for?" Souta cried out in pain.

"If he thought you that then he is your master" Ur said. She too have a student and it kinda hurts when your student doesn't acknowledge as one.

"Hahaha" old man Ryan laughed.

"Don't laugh old man" Souta said.

****

Souta said to Ur that they will continuing their journey. Ur decided to follow them with her student as this will be a good experience for her two students.

In their journey the rest of them got to know each other. Gray and Lyon admire Souta for his strength and began to called him big brother, this made Souta happy.

They traveled for a month until they reached the mountain where Souta first met the old man Ryan.

This month was like hell for Souta. Old man Ryan would trained him until he passed out from exhaustion. Gray and Lyon too as Ur's train became harder after she saw how Souta trained everyday.

'I wonder how's Mira, Lisanna, and Elfman' Souta thought as they were near the village. He suddenly remembered that he was away for a few months.

"I'm going ahead first" He said to the rest before he run at full speed at the village direction.

Souta arrived in the village only to saw, the villagers were shouting and accusing the Strauss sibling for being a demon. Mira stood in front of her two siblings trying to protect them from the villagers.

They were like that for a while the villagers were accusing the siblings and Mira was defending them trying to convinced them that she was not possessed by a demon.

Then one of the villager pick up a huge stone and throw it at the siblings. Mira turned her back to the villager trying to protect Lisanna and Elfman.

Souta then out of nowhere appeared in front of them and deflected the stone with the back of his palm. The villagers were shocked by the appearance of this boy and when they where about to say something, Souta opened his mouth.

"I'm going to say this once, go back now before I burn this place to ashes"

His cold voice resonated around the surroundings as his aura started to flare up. The surrounding fell into silence as the only thing they could heard was the gulping sound of the villagers and the sobbings of the siblings.
