The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 11's

"Recovery."

A quiet voice caught Kene's attention. And there was a child in black clothes, black hair, and black eyes with a hint of red light in the middle of his iris.

Kene who saw the figure widened his eyes in disbelief.

The thing he saw, the momentum he gave off, was so terrifying and marvelous it was like a predator in the darkness.

Kene continued to look at the figure, he was astonished and scared, the mixed expression was hard to describe.

The green light suddenly shone brightly beside his right and near his feet which made Kene wake up from his sight.

It was seen that the man and woman who were enveloped in the bright green light were slowly beginning to open her eyes and move her body until the light faded away.

The people around him who saw that his face changed from a worried face to a happy and relieved face.

Enveloped in a smile and accompanied by a red-haired woman's cry, she is Elsa the second child of a newly awakened person from her stupor.

Elsa hugs her mother and occasionally sees her father, crying bitterly.

Kene and Laura also smiled with relief from this improved situation, people were also happy to see that this friend and hero of Larkxa city was okay.

"What about the duel, Kene?." Kenneth asked Kene with a puzzled face.

"On that..," answered Kene somewhat doubtfully.

"...I see, I lost to the boy. Hahaha...., if you remember again I lost in a short time right?." Kenneth said with his awkward laugh.

And without warning, no, two women immediately embraced Kenneth with strong hugs and cries of relief.

"Darling, hyx, hyx, hyx,."

"Dad, thank goodness you're okay. Hix, hyx, hyx."

The cries of the loli and the 17-year-old child were heard. But, the loli was crying firmer and very hard to deafen the people around.

Kenneth, who was aware of the pain of the people, began to hug and calm the two women.

"It's okay Angela.., Elsa." Kenneth hugged them.

The people around who saw the family reunion, took notice of it and let them be like that for some time.

Including a child who stood quietly not far from the crowd.

#POV Zyden's

'Haah..!' this breath in my little heart.

'After the battle with Kenneth, this scene happened. It seems like defeating the city hero by a landslide was a mistake.' I thought that seeing people hugging and some people sniffling at him.

'is this going to go well?. Seeing that scary loli crying so hard made me doubt she would let me just like that. I have to find another way so that I can become a high rank adventurer quickly.'

After thinking about the next thing that was going to happen and my next plan, Kenneth looked at me.

He seemed to know if I was thinking about our agreement before the duel.

A big, firm voice sounded typical of parents, making people aware around.

The crying woman stopped crying, the people standing started to look at the person the old man was staring at. The atmosphere became awkward now.

Everyone looked at me with a strange look, I didn't know how to describe their gaze other than the word 'strange'.

I who became the spectacle material can only be silent to let everything happen.

'I hate to be watched and again they look at me with their stupid faces. Haaah.., I want to get drunk drinking beer immediately.' That's what I think is the situation right now.

"So what about our deal?. You didn't forget that, did you?." I asked with my usual flat tone.

"You brat. Don't you feel guilty for hurting someone valuable to us." Cried Kene with a high tone.

While everyone looked at me with anger and annoyance including the mother and the child. I was silent for a while and I started talking again in my cold voice.

"Why should I feel a sense of guilt when I have done nothing wrong?." Stupid answer. "Isn't getting hurt the risk of a fight in this world?. Reasonable right?." My next.

"You were so mean to say that after hurting my father. Don't you have feelings?." Elsa said with a slight shout.

I was a little surprised he spoke like that, when he was a quiet kid. I steadied myself and answered his words.

"I have, I feel more than yours!. Don't argue with me about feelings, I know better than most people." I cried a little to raise my voice at the last sentence.

That's right, I've seen all kinds of feelings.

The feelings of the person who begged me not to kill, the envy of my comrades-in-arms either at the headquarters or school, and the feelings when dealing with family members.

And there are still many things I haven't told you as someone who has two lifestyles.

Everyone was shocked by my words, including Kenneth himself. Elsa doesn't believe what I said, she's silent now.

Again the situation began to be awkwardly silent. I who realized it started asking back, to eliminate this situation.

"Forget what I said. So old man, did you forget our agreement?." Nyolot.

The silent Kenneth began to wake up. "Ah. about the deal, I didn't forget about it son. Just relax!" Kenneth. "Let's talk about this in Kene's office. Angela.., Elsa.., can you let me go? I want to talk to the boy!." Further.

Angela and Elsa who heard the old man's words began to let go of his embrace, and they stood up from their seats.

Kenneth, who was already standing, looked at me and Kene, giving the code to leave. As for Laura she was still silent just like the others.

"Darling, you two better get some rest now. I'll talk to the three in Kene's office, don't wait for me. I'll probably take a long time so just take a break, just close the inn for the night." Kenneth said to the mother and the child.

"Well baby.., come on Elsa!." Angela answered with a smile.

"But mother.." Said Elsa doubtfully.

"Come on, don't make your father bother anymore." Persuade angela with the tone of a mother.

"...Good ma'am" cried Elsa resigned.

The mother and son went through the door to the adventurer guild. As for me, Kenneth, Laura and a few people still at the training ground.
