The battle that Arnold started ended in a bloodbath that had casualties of nearly 1500 people, killing less than 80% of the total.
That battle, was Arnold's absolute defeat.
Nel was in critical condition and was immediately rushed to the Shinrin Kingdom healing center along with other members of the army and the people who were in a dying condition.
Zack has been found on the edge of the forest in a state of blood loss deep in the border of the Arnold attack site.
Marsyal is still unconscious. He is taken with Tsuha and Arthur by Nox to a refugee camp.
Naver comes to Arthur after seeing Nox back.
There were sobs heard everywhere. Especially the loudest cry issued by Tsuki who saw the condition of his mother's body that was not in normal circumstances.
Glashya's bones were crushed with a hollow chest.
"MOMUUUU!!!!" Tsuki is hysterical at her mother's condition. Tsuki hugged her mother's blood-soaked body. Tsuha pensive in place.
"My parents, all dead. What about Tsuki and I? Our house is also destroyed"
BRUK!
Tsuki hits Tsuha's stomach hard. He cried and looked at Tsuha with a hateful look. "TZUHA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING FUCKING!!!! WHY IS MOM LIKE THIS!?"
Tsuki beats Tsuha's body brutally. Tears dripped from Tsuha's eyes. "DAGHHHH!" Tsuha kicked Tsuki in the stomach until she slammed into the back.
"I DON'T KNOW DAMN IT MYSELF! DON'T BLAME ME ANYWAY!!! YEP!!!" Tsuha rebelled against Tsuki and she immediately pulled Tsuki's t-shirt monkey.
"I'm alone! Don't want this to happen! Me! Still want to feel the affection of mom and dad!" Tsuha's strictness to Tsuki.
The quarrel of the two children, made all the views of the people focused on them.
Arthur finished talking to Naver and walked straight to Tsuha and Tsuki.
Naver comes towards Nox who is busy helping medical personnel transport the injured.
"Nox, do you still hate kids?" Naver threw a question at Nox.
Nox looked towards Naver with his flat look.
"Tell me the point, Sire" Nox said.
"Tsuha and her sister"
Nox expected it. He took a deep breath and threw away his gaze.
"Naver, do you know the difference in caring for a child? My adopted son, is now dying. Why should I think of those two boys?" Nox.
Naver held Nox's shoulder.
"Nox, those two are...." Naver whispered something to Nox's left ear. Nox's eyes, widened upon hearing the whisper.
"Don't joke!"
"I'm not kidding. It's a fact. I hope you can take care of those two kids. No need to confuse their living costs. I will prepare their living expenses until they finish their education. At least until they were 19 years old. This is Arthur's request" Naver said with a faint smile at Nox.
Nox brushed off Naver's hand.
"Naver's. You're the only Aosora I can't hate"
Naver chuckled lightly.
"Again, please don't be like that. Let Tsuha and her sister stay alone in the ASJ dormitory. The cost matters, let me take care of it myself. That tsuha, my best student. He has the ability to perfect rudimentary magic" Nox replied.
...****************...
"SSSTHHHH"
Arthur clings his index finger to his own lips in front of Tsuki who is about to attack Tsuha.
"People like you, will only be a burden to others in their fight. Now, remember what I said. Your mother and father died because of the devil. The tep!" Arthur directly attached the tip of his index finger to Tsuki's forehead.
"Huh? BRUCK!"
Tsuki's body immediately fell down after Arthur put his thumb on Tsuki's forehead. Arthur holds Tsuki's body bigger than his.
"Ugh, Tsuhla. Can't you help me?" Arthur let out a voice like a person holding weight.
"Just make him sleep. From today on, act like you and I have never met. Act like a stranger if you don't want to be bothered by the Devil Nation. I hope you understand what I'm saying, Estelle Tsuha"
Ever since Arthur said that to Tsuha. Tsuha never sees Arthur and always goes away when Arthur and the rest of the Aosoras visit the Shinrin.
Tsuha, keep Arthur's words at that time for her and Tsuki's sake so as not to be disturbed by the Devil nation.
...****************...
Back in the present day at the Demon Eradication Headquarters.
"However, suddenly you show up with Tsuki. I heard you saved him from the magic wolf. I was really happy at the time. But I remember things that have passed. It worries me about you and the people around me"
Tsuha said softly while looking at Arthur who was hearing his story.
"Perhaps, apologies alone are not enough to make up for my negligence as your little servant and partner learned your magic" Tsuha's tone of voice sounded subtle than usual. Arthur was confused by this situation. He was confused what to say.
"Prince Aosora, I am very grateful to you for helping Tsuki. You don't have to hide yourself in front of me. When you're in trouble, I'll help you as much as I can" Tsuha walked up to Arthur's bed and sat next to him.
"Tsuha. Actually, I feel uncomfortable because you suddenly turned out like this. Did your head hit?"
Arthur showed his teeth and grimaced widely while holding his own head.
Tsuha bowed her seat next to Arthur.
"Do you prefer my stupid nature to you?" Tsuha asked and chuckled lightly while lying on Arthur's bed.
Arthur widened his eyes and immediately dodged.
"No! That's not what I meant! You are now this! Doesn't match your character and your face model!" Arthur stood up.
"Why doesn't it fit?" Tsuha glanced at Arthur who was sitting in the study chair.
"Yes, the point is so! Besides, I don't believe your story! You don't match the character of a cowardly child!" Firmly Arthur while pointing at Tsuha.
Tsuha took a deep breath and sat down.
"You yourself, do not fit the model of a submissive prince. You are the annoying prince I've met" Tsuha said, folding both hands.
"Then, about De luce Arnold. I'm sure she's alive" Tsuha has an argument about Arnold.
Arthur became interested in this conversation.
"Why do you think that?"
Arthur continues Archie's question that Archie asked.
"Yes, because he can easily get into people's bodies. De luce Arnold with Archie has a lot of differences"
"BHAT! OF COURSE IT'S DIFFERENT! DON'T EQUATE ME WITH THAT DAMN DEVIL!" Firmly satisfied Archie.
Arthur's ears buzzed because of Archie's echoing voice.
"First difference, De luce Arnold has an abstract mana flow. He's still a descendant of the drip. If Archie, the flow of mana is relatively strong but not as intimidating as De luce Arnold's. Mana belongs to De luce Arnold is difficult in predicting its existence which is different from that of Archie's thick. From 1 KM away, I can tell where you are when you disappear Archie" Tsuha said.
"Well, it's worth it that he found me in the woods" Lirih Archie in Arthur.
Arthur is quite interested in Tsuha's words.
"What do you mean by which flow is abstract? What about which stream is mine?" Arthur pointed to himself while grimacing at Tsuha.
Tsuha scratched her nape.
"I don't know. Manamu weird. Almost like Nao's. If you can be honest, if you're missing from here. I won't be able to find you"
