Ares: Never Grow Up
End of Boni's and Safa's memories.

FLASHBACK END

POV: Safa

Of course, after that .. all my hopes were smashed like sand castles swept away by the waves. Boni began to form a small group and began to take control of the city. I who tried to stop him was now considered a fugitive.

I stared silently at Boni's slowly disappearing hand, like dust in the rain. After Boni's body disappeared, the dark clouds here also started to vanish in the wind. But this city no longer looks like a city. All that was left here was an empty furnace stretching for hundreds of kilometers.

"Hiks .. hiks ..."

I stared at the crying boy, if not mistaken, his name was Ken. He was still sitting in a row while bowing his head, his tears did not stop flowing.

I wanted to cry too, but it felt too empty. I felt my tears stop me from leaving her place.

Puk.

I looked to my right side.

"Aster's Aunt?"

He then hugged me with a sincere smile, a warm embrace, which felt like it was making people melt inside this warmth.

A hug? I didn't even shake his hand last time.

"Sorry ... Auntie," I said in a very limp tone. My head began to twitch, my vision gradually blurred.

I don't know what's going on, but .. It looks like I'm about to faint.

POV: Ares

I was still silent where I stood. My eyes did not stop staring at the empty sky before me. The sound of Ken's cry that somehow stopped, the voice of the townspeople who were panicking because Safa fainted. And many people are saddened by the loss of their closest people.

Eng's? The doll ... is there?

I walked slowly toward the eagle doll that was almost out of shape. The body of the doll was already filled with flowers and leaves, only the head was left.

I picked up the doll, and took it with me.

"Whoops!" Vani's voice made me realize and turned towards her. Vani's moving brown hair was blown away, as well as her bright red eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked without taking my eyes off her.

"It's okay, it's just .. What should we do now?" ask Vani while looking around. I came to think, in war there is no one who will not die, unless there are people who have the ability to change destiny.

But if that person really existed, then he should have already changed the destiny of this world.

"I thought ... How about we help them build some more houses?" I replied with doubt. Because this city is different from the city of Riot before, here there are still people alive, there are still people who will inhabit this place.

"ah! That's a great idea!" Vani said excitedly, I just returned with a smile.

If we do not want to lose many more lives, we can support their lives by providing assistance to make temporary residence.

Or maybe permanent? I don't think it's impossible with my abilities.

Hmmm, tomorrow I have to try to make a house.

The cring!

The cring!

The cring!

"Is this still good?" I asked while pointing at the apartment with 25 floors in front. The residents applauded with amazed looks. Of course I feel relieved, but ...

IT CONSUMES A LOT OF CHAST?! I JUST MADE ONE APARTMENT AND IT'S BEEN FILLED IN HALF?!

But if I make them raw materials, I think it will consume more and more chast, and make one apartment directly so this will be more efficient.

"It seems that at first I prefer to make some raw materials and some construction equipment that can be operated in the body of a 12-year-old child. But ... The problem is I don't know how to make the machine." I nodded slowly while continuing to think.

"Do you really need to understand the engine?" Ken suddenly came and shocked me with his voice.

"If I don't understand the arrangement, isn't it the same as making an empty shell without contents?" I asked Ken with a little emotion because of the shock earlier. Ken looks sullen because I slightly snapped at him.

His eyes are still swollen, I'm sure he's been crying all night.

"Wouldn't it be time to make a car you didn't need to know the arrangement?" ask Ken again.

Lah .. yes too. I used to make cars directly. Why should I bother thinking about the engine?

Yes, I made cement and wire first now.

Cring!

This is the 2nd day since Boni was defeated. Not much has changed except the ongoing development. Of course each city needs a leader to lead them, at first they point to me, but I immediately refuse because we won't be here long either.

If I remember, it looks like they offered Safa to be the temporary leader of the city. But ... I don't know, it looks like he rejected it too?

For sure, I want to enjoy my own time now.

Right now I am sitting quietly on a tree that is lucky not to have fallen. While enjoying the setting sun, I muttered some strange songs that suddenly appeared in my head.

Vani is busy talking to the townspeople, Ken is still busy driving away accompanied by Riot, maybe Riot is worried that Ken will do something idiot later.

If Safa-

"What are you doing here?" Safa suddenly appeared from above my head.

"YYYYYYYY!" I screamed in surprise.

"YYYYYYYYYYYY!" Safa shouted as well.

"Why are you yelling?!" I asked while touching Safa's forehead.

"You're surprising me!" Safa retorted my ears.

"What?! What surprised me first was that you knew!" I pulled Safa's blonde hair from below. Finally, there was an act of attraction between us.

And we forgot .. that we were on a tree.

Whungs.

Eh?

BRUCK!

"Of ..." I tried to stand up, while massaging my waist which was in pain half to death. I'm only 12, I don't want to be a nursing child.

"Ugh .. This is because of you!" Safa also immediately got up and tidied up her long blonde hair that covered her face.

I chose not to reply to her words and sat leaning against the tree trunk, unexpectedly, Safa also leaned back with me, looking at the sunset that had stayed a little.

"After this ... Where are you going?" asked Safa suddenly.

"So, we still haven't decided. To be sure, maybe we'll stay here a little longer." I answered without looking at him.

Actually I wanted to invite him to join our team, but. Safa needs a lot of people here, she is an important figure that everyone needs. He was also the protector of this city because he was also strong.

"Hey ... Can I come with you?"

"Well?!"

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
