Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: A Bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup

The couples eyes fill with tears as the female says,

"Belliel! And Marco too! We've been worried sick! Where have you two been!?"

Marco joins the group hug and replies,

"We missed you too Mama!"

Belliel says,

"It's okay Mama! We got help from a hero person! I think he said he was the 'Legendary Hero of Estrelia'..."

The parents eyes fill with shock as they shouts,

"The Hero!?"

They stare at Saiba as he awkwardly waves back. They grow stiff the mother suggests,

"Y-You all should be quite hungry, right? Come inside, you three can eat dinner with us."

Saiba replies,

"No, no! It's okay! We can handle ourselves and I wouldn't want to get in the way of your reunion!"

The father butts in and says,

"It's the least we could do in return for you saving our children..."

Saiba gives in and agrees with their request.

All of them walk into the a village house. The inside is very cozy, but also quite cramped and the smell of a home-cooked meal fills the air. Belliel clings onto her father as she says,

"Hey, hey, papa! I have a story to tell you!"

Her father replies,

"Alright Bell... You can tell me and Mama over a bowl of your favorite, chicken noodle soup!"

Belliel's eyes light up as her, Marco, and their parents take a seat at the dinner table. There doesn't seem to be enough seats for Saiba, Lily, and Lazaro, so they take a seat on a set of stairs instead.

The mom serves everyone a bowl of soup as they dig in. Their father asks,

"So Bell, what was the story you wanted to tell us?"

She answers,

"Oh! Oh! We found big-brother Razier!"

The parents' mood seems to darken after hearing Razier's name. Belliel continues,

"He was hiding under the scary graveyard! But you know, he turned into a skeleton! I don't know how!"

Her father replies,

"H-Hey Bell... You didn't forget, did you... Your big-brother Razier is already dead... He went missing two years ago and we found his dead body a year later..."

Belliel insists,

"But he's alive! We heard his voice! Right, big-brother?"

Marco, holding back a little, answers,

"Bell, I don't think that was him... We probably forgot what big-brother sounded like and assumed they sounded the same... And the name was probably just a coincidence... There's no way big-brother would do something like that..."

Belliel shouts,

"But... But... He's alive! Why won't you believe me!?"

Saiba sits on the stairs and thinks,

"Razier's supposed to be dead!? But that was definitely a living human under all that bone! He even knew that he was human, even though he kept denying it..."

Belliel pouts in her chair while continuing to feast on the soup. The father changes the subject and says,

"Thank you once again for rescuing our children, Hero."

Saiba replies,

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Rosso! It's a hero's job after all!"

They finish their meal as Lily whispers,

"Hey Hero, we should probably get out of here soon..."

Saiba nods and says,

"Mr. and Mrs. Rosso, I think we'll be going on ahead now. We still have a long adventure to get to!"

Mrs. Rosso replies,

"Oh, is that so? Well, I wish you good fortune in your adventure and if you ever come back to Cambross Town, make sure to visit us!"

Saiba gives her a thumbs up as they leave the house and get back on their rides. Saiba says,

"Hey Lily, what do you think? Do you think the skeleton Razier the same one as their brother?"

Lily answers,

"You saw it too, right? He was definitely a human under all that bone. Under that monstrous aura, there was a beating, human heart. The question is, how did he do it?"

Saiba scratches his chin and shouts,

"I don't know!"

He changes the topic by saying,

"Anyways, where are we heading now?"

Lily replies,

"To a small city called Calderon. That's the closest place to us."

Lazaro says,

"Calderon City? I remember going there when I was young! They're a big supporter of Alberoth Electric!"

Saiba replies,

"Perfect! Since we're allied, we should have no problems right?"

The three nod at one another they begin to depart Cambross Town.

As they pass the gate, a loud scream breaks the silence and alerts them of incoming danger. They turn around as they see a blur of white in the distance. Some villagers begins shouting,

"Skeletons! Everyone get in your houses! It's not safe outside!"

The town falls into anarchy as the villagers scramble to get to safety. Saiba thinks,

"Skeletons again?"
