Chapter 45 - All Roads Lead to Family

"Your senses are coming back."

"Yeah, I can finally start walking again and hope to hit the gym."

"If there's any open.", Himari laughs.

"You'll see how good of a husband I can be." I start laughing.

"What do you mean?"

"What?"

"How will I see you being a good husband?"

"Huh?"

Don't tell me she meant...

"We should search for your family. I prepared a devorce letter as well." She says.

A flash back comes to me when she sayed she had to be my wife to be my nurse. So that's what she meant, huh. So all of these... Just duty huh. I guess for my part I should have thought it was my necessity rather than... Anyway, not like I was looking forward to have a family with her. She is just another side charecter, lending aid to the hero. Or should I say, I'm the side charecter taking the main character's blessing. Was I expecting.... How could I! Ain't I supposed to be only in love with Aiko. Come to think of it, when did I thought of her last? What was I even thinking?! What now? And... I stop asking questions to me. It'll just keep burning me if I keep feeding it wood. The biggest Irony is it's not sadness nor sorrow what I'm feeling, it's not even regret, it's.. It's the same as loosing a game, you feel anger, you feel like world is unfair, you feel like why did I invest so much when I was about to loose, you feel like you were supposed to win, but the truth is you only dug your own grave, slowly falling for the fascination, attraction, addiction. You only have yourself to blame, you can't blame the dungeon to be situated there, it's you who walked in it.

"Time to say goodbye.", She says while I walk by her shutting the door. I didn't even look back.

"Hey!? Say something?", She says as I close the door on her face.

It's just her duty huh? You never say goodbye to your doctor, nor does a doc break a patient's heart. Nah, I shouldn't really blame her. Maybe, I should say sorry. I stop while thinking what excuse can I make for leaving like that. As I turn back.. the house.. it blows up. The rebels again. I keep walking away. I don't want to go back there. It's too complicated for me to get involved in. Where to now? The mansion maybe. My eyes fall on the hills. Maybe I should go there. Yeah, it's better to leave this place, memories behind.
