Chapter 39
Walking with a dejected look, Wendy was walking here and there, while her face was covered by a veil. It had been two days since her real identity had been discovered by Seryu and she was simply walking around town, not really knowing where to go.
If she returned to the Jaegers, she was certain that she would be killed by Esdeath. And if she returned to Night Raid, she would have the constant feeling of having to admit to them that she had not lived up to their expectations, when it was she who had insisted on doing this spy work. She knew she was at an impasse, but absolutely wanted to find a solution, other than that of going back to Natsu and the others.
"This time, I look even more pitiful than usual! "
Suddenly hearing her stomach manifest, Wendy put her hand on the latter before affirming.
" Calm yourself, I will feed you! "
Unfortunately, in addition to not having eaten anything for two days, she had nothing in her pocket that could be eaten or that could buy food.
"At this train, I will end up starving!" Wendy remarked, sighing.
Finally dropping against a wall, she took her head in her hands, before thinking about what had happened. Again, she wanted to stop thinking. She wanted to think of nothing. But nothing to do. His argument with Seryu and the death of Bols were impossible to forget. In truth, it made her depressed.
By joining the Jaegers, she had arrived with a determined and self-confident spirit, with the sole aim of changing the Empire from within. Today, she felt useless and incredible silly. What with her think you can do against Esdeath.
" Hey you, you seem to me to be suspicious! "
Turning around, Wendy saw two guards behind her, who walked towards her.
" What does this veil mean? Would you try to hide your identity? "
" If this is the case, go immediately! You are under arrest! "
Gritting teeth, hearing this, Wendy thought.
"For a simple veil wearing, are these guys ready to arrest anyone? But how hideous is the legal system? "
Having no choice, Wendy took her legs to her neck and started to run away.
" Hey, stop! "
Continuing on her way, Wendy ran lane after lane to try to sow her pursuers. However, when she turned into a small lane, she ended up stopping short, hitting someone.
Pulling back a little, the child saw an elderly man in front, whom she recognized almost immediately.
" Vice-captain Tero (chapter 6)? "
" Hum? wondered the man, seeing Wendy's veil falling! Wouldn't you be a member of the Jaegers? "
" Quick ! She left here! " Said a voice, a little further.
" They arrive ! " Wendy frightened, trying to flee.
Nevertheless, grabbing his throat, Tero decided to stop him from fleeing.
" That … ? "
" Hush! Play the game! " He whispered to her.
Arriving then, the two guards stopped as soon as they saw their target being strangled by one of their superiors.
" Vice-captain Tero? "
" Band of incapacitated! " Roared the man ! " Aren't you even up to the task of arresting a single person? "
" Our apologies, vice-captain! "The two guards apologized, making a military salute.
" I don't tolerate any failure! Know that next time, I will not be as demanding with you! I'm taking care of questioning this suspicious person! You will take back your guard! "
" Yes, vice-captain! "
And as soon as they were gone, Tero finally let go of Wendy, who looked at him in surprise.
" Why saved me? "
" Why ? I didn't have to ? "
" But … ! " Wendy began, looking down.
Seeing her do it, Tero cried out.
" Come with me ! "
" Hein? "
_I don't know why, but I have the impression that you need to sleep a little and eat something!
" For the last time, we are not members of Night Raid! " Assured a man.
Hands tied behind his back, like another man and a woman, the latter stared at Seryu, while he proclaimed his innocence vis-à-vis what the girl was accusing them of.
" We're just little thieves! We have to fly if we want to eat! "
" So, you admit to being evil! " Seryu noted, glaring at him.
" Tsss, the evil? How dare you say that when you have three meals a day insured? We don't all have this privilege! In truth, you don't care about the inhabitants of this city! So your morality, you can keep it! "
A powerful punch sprayed his nose, and knocked him to the ground. Afraid of this, the other two thieves backed off as best they could, while Seryu's gaze only showed hysteria.
" Never say again that I don't care about the people of the Empire! It's people like you who don't understand what I'm doing! "
Extending her arm, she let Koro bite him and replaced him with a long sword.
" I am the justice of this city! " She roared, directing the blade towards the thieves.
" No, please! "
Having no hesitation, Seryu was about to decapitate them, when a voice ordered him, in his head.
'' Don't kill them! ''
Taken immediately from a violent migraine, Seryu stopped her sword a few centimeters from the faces of the trio, and gritted her teeth, a sign that something was making her suffer.
"Wendy ?" The guard wondered, recognizing his voice. "
" Pity! " Again implored the thief at her feet! " We would just starve, that's all! We have not injured and killed anyone! "
" Understand us! The capital rejects beggars like us and we are forced to fend for ourselves! "
Listening to them, Seryu found it more and more difficult to fight his migraine, while his emotions fought against each other again.
As usual, upholding justice and eradicating evil was paramount, and came before anything else. However, after these last two months, realizing the situation of the capital, staying by Wendy's side, Seryu found it increasingly difficult to continue to establish absolute justice.
Finally lowering her sword, she cried out.
" Go to the eastern sector of the poor neighborhoods! "
" Hein? "
" There is a guy by the name of Niks who lives there and who has created a kind of HQ with many other inhabitants! It is generally there that a free food distribution is done! "
Turning their backs, she roars.
" Make sure you go before I decide to kill you! "
It did not take more for the trio to decamp. Hearing them leave, Seryu could only show frustration in his eyes, understanding very well what had just happened.
"Even when she was not there, Wendy managed to annoy me because of her beautiful words! I can no longer differentiate between good and bad! "
Remaining to think about it, Seryu jumped when a hand placed on his shoulder.
" Hey, Seryu, where are the guys we captured? " Wave asked him.
" Hum? Them? They took advantage of my lack of vigilance to run away! "
" What? Are you kidding me ? "
Suddenly grabbing Koro, Wave had no better idea than to open his jaws wide before half engulfing his head in it.
" Don't tell me that you let him devour them? "
" If it were, this area would be filled with blood! " Seryu retorted, snapping her fingers.
Starting to struggle, Koro managed to escape from Wave's hands and ran before jumping into Seryu's arms. Turning around, the latter was about to leave when Wave questioned her.
" Seryu… what happened with Wendy? "
" Hum? What do you mean ? I came back to her room when she wanted to leave us company, resigning like a coward! We then argued about it and we fought! She ran away and that's it! "
" And why would she suddenly resign? "
" What do I know? Maybe because she couldn't bear to see us kill people! "
" Seryu! I don't know why but I have the impression that you are hiding something from us! "
" Well, you've got it all wrong! roared Seryu, moving away from him! Stop bothering me with that!
Seeing her do it, Wave wondered.
"Does Wendy's departure have anything to do with the discussion I heard between Esdeath and the Prime Minister? What does Seryu know that I don't know? "
Sitting at a desk across from Tero, Wendy cried.
" I shouldn't be here! "
" And why that ? " Tero asked, pouring whiskey into two glasses.
Taking hers, while Wendy refused her glass, he drank it all at once, before asking.
" Good… what was a Jaeger like you doing in the street trying to hide his face, to the point of being chased by soldiers? "
" Don't ... pretend to ignore it! " Said Wendy! " You know very well that I am wanted! "
" Okay, ok! " Said Tero, while showing an amused face! " It is true that I am aware that you are wanted for desertion! "
" Why ? " Almost shouted Wendy. "
" Always know that leaving a letter of resignation behind you will not change much! Once in the army, you stay there until you retire! That's the downside! "
" Resignation ? " Wondered Wendy! " Esdeath think I quit? But ... But then Seryu didn't tell the others that I was part of Night Raid? But why ? "
" Wendy, why did you leave? "
" The army was not what I thought I was! simply stated Wendy, half lying! Killing people is impossible for me! I would even say that it repels me! We only have one life! So I don't understand why we have to kill each other! I refuse to do it! "
" On this point, I understand you! There is nothing worse than taking the life of someone you don't even know! In fact, the first time I did it, I vomited in front of my supervisor! Seeing me that way, Ogre was not happy! "
" Ogre? Were you on Captain Ogre's orders? "
" Yes ! And I bitterly regretted it! This man was a real monster! A bastard of the worst kind! He had no regard for me, he didn't even remember my name! Whenever he called me it was usually by "Tadpole"! Knowing that I was influenced by this guy makes me sick! And I was not the only one! Your friend Seryu is a good example! "
" I know ! And that annoys me too! I want to change this empire! And yet, I quickly realize that I cannot! I don't have the strength to do this! I feel ... I feel completely useless! "
" Wendy, to be honest! I wonder if trying to change the empire is a good idea! Know that people have died with the same goal as you! Like the former captain of our army! He was my former superior before Ogre replaced him! In an effort to bring justice, he arrested a number of criminals who corrupted the police with money in order to be quiet! Because of that, he ended up getting killed, along with his family! "
Then staring at Wendy, he said.
" Without wanting to upset you, can a little girl like you really change something? "
" I ... I ...! " Said Wendy.
Suddenly, opening suddenly, Tero's office door opened, to face a man.
" Well, as we meet, Wendy! "
Turning around then, Wendy could only be surprised, recognizing the face of her former superior: Lieutenant Furrick.
" Lieutenant? "
The man had a thinner figure than before, as if part of his muscles had melted, while he was holding a new club, thinner than the old one, making it lighter.
" I was surprised to know that you had left the Jaegers! I didn't know you were so cowardly! But OK … ! "
Staring at Wendy, he said.
" You and I are going to fight ... as before! "
Having the greatest need to sort through his mind, Seryu went to the church where his father was buried. But as soon as she arrived, she was immediately greeted by the troop of children, who cried out.
" Onee-san is here! "
" Onee-san, are you playing with us? "
" Can we have fun with Koro? "
Then, seeing that Seryu was alone, a little girl wanted to know.
" Nee-chan is not with you? "
" No ! " Replied Seryu dryly, not wanting to talk about Wendy at all.
" Why ? " Insisted the girl! " Where is she ? "
" But what do I know? " Roared Seryu, suddenly venting some of his frustration! " Do I have any questions for you? "
Noticing, too late, that she had just gotten angry at her, for no reason, Seryu saw the young child back away, before starting to sob.
" Oh, sorry Natachy! I didn't mean to be mean! I ... I ...! "
" To what I can see, you seem troubled! "
Advancing in turn, Mory was present in front of Seryu and asked him.
" Seryu! Tell me what is happening ! "
Finding themselves face to face, Wendy and Furrick were now in a deserted alley where nobody was going to disturb them.
" The rules of this fight are simple! " Affirmed the lieutenant! "You win and you can leave! I win and I take you back to the base! "
" We have already fought a good ten times! retorted Wendy! And I always won! "
" It was before ! Don't even dare think of taking me lightly! "
Then screaming, he ran towards Wendy before swinging his club. Dodging the latter without problem, Wendy nevertheless felt the gun brush her face, while a strong draft was felt in her hair.
"He's faster than before! "
Then closing his fist, Furrick swung him forward, and managed to strike Wendy, right in the stomach. Spitting saliva, the girl stepped back while holding her stomach. But she didn't even have time to moan in pain that Furrick attacked again. Can only retreat, Wendy tried to dodge one by one his blows while the man attacked with a rapid pace.
"Rather than just trusting his strength, he worked his speed as well as lightening his weapon in order to increase the number of his shots! He really does everything he can to beat me! "
Feeling her foot suddenly abut a pebble, the girl fell to the ground, and had to roll into a ball to dodge the club Furrick.
" No, but what is happening to you? " Roared the latter! " You are not at all focused! I feel like I'm fighting against a wimp! "
Raising his club again, he headed his summit towards Wendy's head.
" SKY DRAGON'S WINGS! "
Plating her two palms against Furrick's club, Wendy managed to stop the latter. Nevertheless, by putting all his strength into it, Furrick made equal play with it and threatened at all times to crush his club on his head.
Grinning at the effort, Wendy felt her arms bend little by little as Furrick's club advanced towards her head.
"I ... I'm not going to hold on!"
Finally, Furrick's club hit her in the face, causing it to fly to the wall behind her. Grinning immediately, Wendy put her hand on her forehead, only to find that she was bleeding.
" That … ? "
" Don't care about me! " Growled Furrick! " I know you are capable of much more than that! Do you want to change the Empire? Outperform the Jaegers? Surpass Esdeath with this strength? Don't make me laugh ! What could you do about it? "
Suddenly clenching her teeth as well as her fist, Wendy ends up fixing him with rage.
" Shut up ! Stop all of calling me weak! You annoy me ! You are all either corrupt or cowardly men! I have nothing to learn from you! "
Suddenly standing up, she let her hair turn pink, before heading straight for Furrick. However, before he could even touch it, his hair returned to its original color, while its strength diminished.
" That … ? "
Dodging his fists, Furrick then kicked him, hitting his stomach. Unable to grit his teeth, the child fell on his knees before him, while holding his stomach.
"What ... what is happening to me?" Why … ? Why ? "
" Where has your power gone? " Asked Furrick.
" Hein? "
" You weren't like that, the last time I saw you! " Asserted Furrick! " Before joining the Jaegers, you had confidence in yourself and that's what made your strength! You may be just a kid, you have endless determination! So, in this case…! "
Seeing him lower his club on his head, Wendy wrapped his hair in time in wind, to stop it.
" Where did the snot go that put me on the carpet in a few seconds? " Roared Furrick! " Where has the child I want to fight against gone? Where did the real Wendy go? "
Widening her eyes when she heard it, Wendy clenched her teeth again, while asserting.
" She… She is in front of you! "
" Stop lying! Wendy is not the wimp you are! Are you unable to defeat me? So what are you planning to do against Esdeath? Beg her on her knees to stop her crimes? The good joke! "
" I will ... beat her! " Wendy said suddenly.
Suddenly, Furrick felt like a strong breeze began to surround Wendy, as she ended up staring at the lieutenant.
" Yes ! I have no right to give up now! Because of me, Bols is dead! All because I was not there to protect it! And other people die every day, because I'm not strong enough to defeat Esdeath! But it will change! I will ... I will ...! In the name of Fairy Tail and Night Raid ... I WILL WIN ! "
Then increasing the force of the air currents surrounding her palms, she ends up amplifying their power to the point of projecting Furrick, in an instant. Stepping back several meters, Furrick rose to his feet, while wearing a smile.
" Yeah! There, it starts to be a real fight! "
Immediately running towards Wendy, he swung his club towards her while Wendy positioned her hands back.
"No more hesitating again!" I may have lost a friend! The fact remains that I still have a lot to protect! I'm Wendy, … fairy tail mage! "
Suddenly roaring, she let her hair turn pink again, as drafts hit the places all around her, before the currents began to darken.
" That … ? " Wondered Furrick.
" Anti-dragon magic, BLACK DESTROY TORNADE! "
Forming in her palms, a black tornado appeared, before she swung it toward Furrick. Wanting to stop first, the man ends up being hit by the last. Trying to resist against his power, he found himself completely imprisoned in the latter and was unable to get out of it. Then, little by little, the air currents began to hit his body, while starting to extract the energy from his body.
" That … ? What is this attack? It looks like it absorbs my energy! "
Finally being thrown into the air, Furrick felt a tornado when he was half unconscious. With a groan of pain, he then crashed to the ground.
As for her breath, Wendy looked at her hands in surprise.
" I created… a black tornado? "
Hearing Furrick moan in pain, she ran to him immediately, before placing his palms on his body. Beginning to treat him, she apologized.
" Sorry! I didn't want to go as hard! "
" Stop apologizing, little idiot! " Advised Furrick! " Taking pity on the opponent can be the worst form of insult for him! "
Nevertheless, then smiling, he said.
" Go ahead ! "
" Hein? "
" Go find the Jaegers! Do you want to change this empire? Then do it ! "
" But I … ! "
" You are capable, Wendy! " Assured Furrick.
Once healed, he got up, before recovering his club. Then leaving, he said.
" Show me what justice of your dreams is, Wendy! I would be there to see it with my own eyes! And if that interests you, know that the Jaegers must soon go to Kyoroch! If you want to meet them, go there! "
Walking through the poor areas of the city, Seryu continued his usual round. Since its sudden appearance in this part of the city, the crimes and others had suddenly decreased, these last weeks. With Wendy's help, the duo had no trouble enforcing the law here, capturing anyone who wanted to do whatever they wanted.
Since then, the way people looked at him had changed somewhat. Admittedly, it was far from great love. However, it had been a long time since any of them had insulted him. Instead, they preferred to ignore him, usually giving him no look, compared to the greetings they constantly gave Wendy.
As a result, even today, Seryu patrolled while a deep silence surrounded him. As usual, people strayed from her path without saying a word to her, only tolerating her presence by the fact that she was the only one who could protect them in the event of a problem.
Not really liking their altitude, Koro growled non-stop, forcing Seryu to hold him in his arms so that he would avoid getting them into trouble.
Even herself, far from appreciating the situation, wanted to speak to someone at the moment to change her mind. However, it didn't take long for her to remember that she was alone and no longer accompanied.
Sighing because of this, Seryu suddenly ends up listening when cries were uttered.
" Stay quiet, dirty sow ! "
" No, let go of me! " Begged a woman.
Attracted by the screams of the latter, Seryu went straight to the place where the screams came from to see three guards surrounding a young girl who was not unknown to her.
" Caruma? "
Kneeling on the ground, the young woman tried to protect a loaf of bread that she had in her arms, while the guards took malicious pleasure in tormenting her.
" Well, it's a pretty loaf that you have there! "
" Didn't you steal it, by any chance? "
" No ! I bought it honestly! " Caruma assured.
" And with what money, dirty beggar? " Chuckled a guard, gripping a large handful of his hair! " I rather think that you are a thief! "
" We should search her! " Assured one of his comrades, then tearing the top of the t-shirt worn by Caruma! " She must keep something else on her and even inside her body! "
But as he continued to rip his top, a voice cried behind him.
" Can I help you ? "
Barely having time to turn around, the guard received a powerful punch in the stomach, causing him to vomit his triples. Flying before crashing to the ground, he lay on it, under the frightened gaze of his companions. Still surprised by what had just happened, the two turned to Seryu to see the latter looking at them with contempt.
" Can I know what you were doing? "
Taking advantage of her arrival, Caruma immediately walked towards her, before hiding behind her back, while neither of the two soldiers dared to move.
" H… Hey, what's wrong with you? We were just questioning this dirty thief! Why did you attack us? "
" Trying to rape someone by force is a crime! " Said Seryu, snapping her fingers! " And when I see a crime ...! "
Growing up behind her, Koro assumed the aspect of a monster, causing the soldiers to cry out in fear.
" ... I let Koro take care of it! "
Continuing to shout, the two soldiers fled immediately, each grabbing a leg of their injured comrade, to take him with them. Seeing this, Koro began to squeak, while Seryu did not order him to pursue them to devour them.
" Don't worry ! I will buy you a lot of meat later! " Assured his mistress.
Then, a pair of arms wrapped around his neck, while Caruma's body pressed against his back.
" Oh, Seryu, thank you very much! "
" Tsss! I have already forbidden you to do this! "
Then taking an arm, she placed Caruma in front of her, before asking him.
" How did you get into this mess? "
" Today, I went to beg in richer neighborhoods and someone gave me a little money with which I bought myself this bread! However, I ran into these guys on the way and immediately accused me of stealing it! It's the truth ! "
Seeing sincerity in his eyes, Seryu ends up turning around and leaving while declaring.
" Yeah, in that case, be careful next time! "
However, as she resumed walking, Seryu had no trouble hearing the footsteps of Koro, behind her, as well as those of Caruma, having suddenly decided to go with her.
" By the way, Seryu, three new people arrived this morning at Niks HQ! They said it was you who advised them to come! "
" So what ? In poor neighborhoods, only the HQ that you established with Niks and the others is almost habitable! "
" Tell me, is it me or do you start to really pay attention to us? First, you protect us, then you feed us ... it looks like we are in the presence of Wendy! By the way, is she not with you? "
" No ! We are no longer a team! "
" Hum? However, I thought it stuck well between you! "
" It must be believed that this was not the case! "
" Why that ?" Caruma asked him.
" What does that concern you? "
" I'm curious, that's all! " Sneered Caruma.
Sighing in annoyance, Seryu noticed.
" Even if I tell you and you repeat it, nobody will believe a little thief like you! Therefore … ! "
Finally sitting on a sidewalk, she said.
" Wendy was not the person I thought she was! "
Caruma immediately sat down next to her, split her bread in half, before handing a piece to Seryu.
" Here ! "
" Why are you giving it to me? You almost got raped because of him! "
" Yeah, but I still have it thanks to you! " Sneered Caruma, biting into his own song! " Come on, keep going! "
Sighing again, Seryu confessed to him.
" Wendy was part of Night Raid! "
" No ? For real ? "
" Yeah! He was just a spy! She didn't care about me! "
" How did you find out? "
" One of his friends fought against Kurome and Bols and killed the latter! It didn't take me long to understand that they were in cahoots! "
" It's strange ! Why was this not written in the newspaper? Wendy should have had a bounty on her head, right? "
" I ... I lied to others! " Confessed to him Seryu! " For the moment, we are still discussing the fact of searching for Wendy for desertion! However, on learning that she was gone, the Prime Minister made no effort to have someone bring her back! He even seemed to be rather happy that she was no longer there! "
" Why did you lie about it? Is it because you hope it is a lie? Or do you still consider Wendy as your friend? "
" My friend ? In your dreams ! She was never my friend! She just manipulated me! I would never become a friend of evil! I … ! "
" Seryu! Here, there is no question of being in two different camps! Even if Wendy was a spy, I doubt she wanted your bad! Until proven otherwise, she always took her work to heart and did far more good deeds than most of the soldiers in this city! Honestly, I think she really liked you! "
" Don't say stupid things ! Anyway, I don't care about her! I just hate her! Yes, I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! "
Listening to her, while seeing her massacring her half of bread between her fingers, Caruma ends up placing her hands on her face before turning it towards hers.
" Seryu, be honest, damn it! What do you really want ?
" Make justice prevail! " Seryu assured, staring straight at Caruma.
However, the more seconds passed, the more several voices were heard in his head.
"I know that my presence will never be the same as that of your father or your master! However, as an assistant, I would do everything to comfort you, if necessary! ''
"Seryu, what are you talking about? You are not alone! I am there ! ''
'' Are we not partners? No ! We are not partners ! We are friends, right? ''
Suddenly gnashing of teeth, Seryu finally felt his eyesight become blurred, as tears filled his eyes.
" I ... I ...! "
" Finally burst into sobs, she cried.
" Wendy! I want Wendy! "
Suddenly hitting the ground with her fist, she roared.
" I hate her ! She betrayed me! She is a villain who is part of Night Raid! But yet ... yet ...! I want to continue to be with her! I still want to patrol with her! … I want us to be friends again! "
Smiling when she finally heard him admit what she had on her body, Caruma took the opportunity to hug her, while saying.
" In this case, you know what you have to do, right? Go reconcile with her and try to do what you can to help her, okay? "
" Y… yes! "
Trying to recover, Seryu suddenly stood up, before quickly passing the palm of his hand before his eyes. Regaining seriousness, she said.
" Shortly, I and the Jaegers will be leaving for a new mission! Once I come back here, I will do anything to find Wendy! And then I would persuade Esdeath-sama to take it back with us! I am sure that she will listen to my request and that she will simply punish Wendy before forgiving her! "
Continuing to smile, Caruma ended up putting his arm around his shoulders, before giggling.
" There, I find you, my great! The real Seryu is a real fighter! "
Feeling his face stick to hers, Seryu began to blush a little, before moving away from her.
" Yeah yeah ! Well ! Anyway, I have to go! "
" Seryu, wait! " Cried Caruma! " Just ... when you have resolved all your problems ... would you like to ... come and see me? "
" Hum? What do you mean ? "
" Uh ... I thought we could spend time .. both! Finally, if you don't mind, of course! "
Sighing again, Seryu said.
" Decidedly, you're really boring! "
Yet she ends up murmuring.
" I would find a way to have a day off to dedicate yourself! "
Smiling at this, Caruma was about to let out her joy, when Seryu removed her scarf to put it around his neck. Therefore, covering the place where his top had been torn, the piece of fabric covered, at the same time Caruma's mouth to prevent him from thanking Seryu.
" Well, keep that! It's been cool lately! "
Then, grabbing Koro by her collar, she fled quickly. Seeing her go, Caruma ends up delicately placing her hands on Seryu's scarf, before beginning to feel her.
" Seryu… Seryu… SERYU! " She whispered, as her cheeks turned red and her pupils took the shape of a heart.
Arriving in front of the church, hoping to find Seryu there, Wendy saw her looking in surprise, before asking him.
" Nee-chan, did you come? "
" You argued with Onee-san? "
" Why was she angry with you? "
" Uh ... I ... I ...! " Began Wendy, realizing that Seryu had already been here! " Are Seryu or Father Mory here? "
" Onee-san is gone! And Father Mory is in the church! "
" Thank you very much ! "
Entering the building immediately, Wendy made the man praying in front of a statue. Stepping towards him, Wendy got ready to speak, before Mory said.
" I'm yours I would have finished my prayer, Wendy! "
" Your prayer? "
Putting several seconds to answer him, Mory ends up turning to her, before affirming.
" Seryu has already left for a new mission! I just pray that she will come back unscathed from the latter! "
" Father Mory! I … ! "
" Honestly, Wendy, whether or not you are a member of Night Raid or the Jaegers does not change my opinion of you in any way! " Confessed Mory! " I would have preferred by far that you are the one who teaches all your knowledge to Seryu rather than this bastard of Ogre! "
" That … ? Did Seryu tell you everything? "
" No, but I guess! By dint of knowing you, I gradually came to understand why you joined the imperial army at a young age and how you could know so much about the dark part of the capital! Certainly, Wendy, you have not finished surprising me! You really are a very brave girl! "
" I ... I am by no means a courageous girl! I ... I let the people around me do nothing to be able to stop them! Nevertheless, ... Nevertheless ... I want to change all of this! "
Then staring at Mory, she cried.
" I will find Seryu and tell her everything I think about her justice and the like! And this time, I would make him understand! Understand that it is turning in the wrong direction! "
" Good ! I'm counting on you Wendy! "
Nodding, Wendy left the church. Then a few minutes later, sweeping people with a gust of wind, the child ends up grabbing a horse before getting on it. And, in the space of two minutes, she left the capital and headed for Kyoroch.
