Chapter 197: Zect's Side, Am I that bad?

Zect’s POV

My mother's left.

Marin and Luna are in separate rooms.

And I will wait here in this empty room for two hours.

Is that what people say?

That they feel so nervous.

But it looks like there's at least some consideration for me.

This room looks like a guest room...

There was a pot of tea on the table.

And there were cookies next to it.

Anyway, I should eat it, I guess. And the taste is...

'Delicious.'

Not very fancy.

Just flour, butter, eggs, and sugar.

The simple taste of the countryside.

It's my mother's taste... but Misaki-san, Haruka-san, and Sayo-san can all make the same thing, so I don't know exactly what it is.

Still, this is the taste of the village.

And that's correct.

Working a normal job. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

And sometimes eat something extravagant with my friends.

The house is just fine.

That's all to be truly happy.

Eating this reminds me of that.

Life in the village was happiness.

Now I have Marin and Luna, my family.

What's the point of me meeting them now?

The people I abandoned and the people I picked up...

I shouldn't have come now, should I?

Well... at least I get to pay for my sins.

'But, sins?'

What have I done?

When I fought the dragon, I lost but no one blamed me for being a bad loser.

'So... I'm still the party leader, I've decided to give you one order while I'm still the party leader... Maria, Lida, and Mel are to be expelled from this party in the near future! The other day in the fight with the dragon I thought... you used to be girls... you used to cry when you were little and Ceres and I used to help you... the other day, the three of you crying had the same faces as then... you should quit fighting now... You can go back to the village or you can go to Ceres.'

From there I felt what Ceres had done for me and sought to make the three of them happy.

Yes... they chose Ceres over me.

And then the three of them and my mother and the others started to argue.

In the end...

I got slapped by my mother and my face swelled up.

'Haa... haa... Zect... you are just like Sector... you think about girls so easily... you only think about yourself. Enough, you are really pathetic as my son, you should be free to live your life! In return, I'll cut off all ties with you, is that clear?'

'Ah... that's fine, I don't need you anymore... I've done my best so far in my own way... I've taken good care of you... please forgive me already...'

'You, you're still saying that...'

'Wait a minute... Lida, are you sure that's what you want?'

'I don't want to fight anymore... not about Zect... not anymore.'

'Maria, are you okay with that?'

'Mel, you're the same...?'

''...''

'Ah~ that's enough, Shizuko, it's not only Zect-kun who's to blame, it's my Maria too, please don't cut ties with him.'

'Yes, there's no need to go that far... it's just that in the end he didn't have a connection with our Mel... well then, thank you Zect-kun for everything.'

'If that's all right with everyone then I understand... Zect, I'll cancel the disownment... if everyone says it's all right, then it's all right... you're free to go! Just know that one day you will realize how much you have given up, and you will regret it... now get out of here!'

'Mother...'

'Zect...'

'Thank you for your help, Ceres... Goodbye.'

'Zect... we should have a drink again sometime...'

And so to Ceres, who looked me in the eye as I walked away...

I think I raised my right hand and waved away.

I'm sure of it.

* * *

Is this... really that bad?

Certainly I've done some bad things to Ceres, right?

I put him through a lot of trouble, and he had to wipe my ass.

But... now that I think about it... what did I do wrong to my three childhood friends?

Sure, I fought and lost.

But when I think about it... it's true that Ceres took care of it... but I was doing my best to keep Lida, Maria, and Mel from having to fight.

Well, it was my fault, but I had broken their hearts and as a result, their hearts had left me.

At least when I met mother and Ceres... Lida, Maria and Mel must have been completely off my mind.

I was saying harsh things, and I was saying 'I'm sorry', but that's it, isn't it?

I just left three people whose hearts had turned away from me and who fell in love with Ceres.

But... now that I think about it, I just didn't tell them because I was too harsh.

Is it my imagination or do I feel like I haven't done anything bad to anyone but Ceres?
