Chapter 37 - Danger

"From that moment I believe in miracles, and that is why he told you not to worry, I will be fine, you will see that I will be able to defeat this disease."

"I don't know, this is different, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

"The thing is, maybe he saved you because he was close to where you were, and, furthermore, that person was strong, but maybe he can't save someone sick, right?"

"Hm, it may be, but still, don't worry, I ..." - Don Armando stopped talking. - "Ah!"

"Don Armando!"

Don Armando screamed in pain, while squirming a bit until he passed out from the pain.

"Nerd!" - Luciel yelled who ran out of there.

"Luciel?" – Mrs. Julieta saw Luciel worried who was running out of Don Armando's room, she entered and saw her husband unconscious, in her face, you could see that she had cried, and it is that, these days she cried a lot when she saw her dear sick husband.

"No." - in the rain, Luciel saw the only entrance and exit to the town. There was doubt, uncertainty, fear, and confusion on his face.

He did not know if what he would do was fine, but he could not take it anymore.

"If I don't do something, he will die." Luciel thought. - 'I won't allow it.'

Luciel steeled himself, and then he ran to the outskirts of town, and a person who knew Luciel saw him run.

At Dr. Aris's clinic.

"Take care." - Aris said as he watched a patient leave.

"Thank you, Doctor." - Said the lady who took his young son home.

"Hm, this day it has rained a lot." - Aris said when he saw the rain fall, because as he said, it had rained all day.

At that moment, a person entered the clinic.

"Liz, you are back."

"Yes." - She said meanwhile she left the things she bought on a table.

"Take." – said Aris who gave a towel to Liz to dry her hair and clothes that got wet by the rain.

"Thank you."

"Seriously, if it still rains like this every day, I wouldn't be surprised if this place gets flooded, don't you think?"

"..."

"Hm, everything okay?"

"..."

"Liz." - Aris approached Liz, he was worried, because, although according to what Luciel thought was true, that Liz was a very quiet person, that was only with almost all the people, except those she loved, and one of the people she always talked to were Aris. - "Liz?"

"I saw him run." - Liz said.

"Hm?"

"I saw Luciel running outside of town." - Liz replied.

"How? Luciel leaving town? But why?"

"I don't know, he just looked very worried."

"Got damn! It must be Don Armando; he must be getting worse. " - said Aris. - "And with this rain, no adventurer would dare to go to the Great Dark Forest to look for the Thousand Year Grass."

"Yes…"

"..." - Aris stopped for a moment. - "Ah ..."

"..."

"Close the clinic." - said Aris.

"Where are you going?"

"Go for Luciel, it's very dangerous out there right now, and if he plans to go to the Great Dark Forest ... he can ..."

"Die."

"Yes ..." - said Aris, who at that moment was about to go after Luciel.

"Wait." - Liz grabbed Aris's right arm. - "Do not go."

"Hey? Liz, let me go. "

"No." - Liz said firmly.

"..."

Liz put more strength into her grip, not letting Aris go.

"Liz, I am serious, let me go."

"No."

"Liz, what are you trying to do? Let go of me now, if you didn't rush me, something could happen to Luciel. "

"What happens?" Asked Liz.

"What do you mean?"

"Why do you care so much about that brat? He is a simple ... "

"Liz."

"..."

"Luciel is not an inhabitant of this world, and not only that, he is a child ... and to add something else, he is someone weak who every day must take care not to get hurt." – said Alec. – "He is an innocent boy who is not like them, understand?"

"Still, he is not your responsibility."

"I know." - said Aris. - "But, the person responsible for taking care of him right now is sick, and my duty as a doctor is to take care of my patients, and one of my most important and usual patients is now in danger, so I will not wait."

"Please, you can stop the charade Aris, you are not a doctor, and we know it."

"..."

"You know what we are traveling for, we do not come to care and be friends with the people of this place ..."

"Liz, I know why we are traveling, but still, I will not let a friend of mine suffer."

"..."

"And I consider Luciel a friend, so you'd better let me go and let me go now! stay here and wait, I won't be long."

"No."

"No what?"

"You will not go alone; I will accompany you."

"Liz?"

"It's my fault for not stopping him ... sorry." - Liz said, releasing Aris.

"..."

"Let's go." - she said.

"Yes."

And, like that, the two of them went after Luciel.
