"I'm not leaving!" The boy exclaimed.
'How annoying you are...!' Cursed Swordsman frowned.
"I know we're going to be attacked tomorrow, but I just can't do it." The boy lowered his head.
"Ah, so that's what you're talking about, but why? You're pretty strong for kids your age, but it'll be a while before you can stand up to the Azure Mantises."
"I understand that, but still... I can't do that. The Moon Lotus was found and planted by my mother! It's the last thing left of her..." The boy could hardly hold back the tears.
'So that's the thing... Damn, life is too unfair sometimes. Everyone in the village got a better life because of it, but this kid lost the most important person to him.'
"What happened to her?"
Cursed Swordsman didn't know how to communicate with children properly, so he decided to ask directly. He was sure this boy was strong enough in spirit to answer.
