Chapter 7 - Father

The one standing in front of me was my father. But I was mistaken. I noticed that the one standing in front of me was just a hologram of him. My father had great creativity, but the creativity could only be brought to life through magic. I guess his dreams were fulfilled as soon as he was summoned here."Haru! How have you been?"As soon as I heard him say this, my blood started to boil. I started lashing out at him."You bastard! Do you know a speck of what I had to when you left? I became the bread bringer in a month. I had to work at 16. Not only that, but I had to quit school because I simply could not afford it. After 2 years, mom's cancer resurfaced. Thanks for not giving a heads-up, dad. After I lost my wage job, I turned to criminal activities. Due to this, I could not meet Meiko. Her family broke our relationships. We went broke, and I got caught during a small robbery."I berated him on and on. For minutes, I berated him. I fell to my knees as I cried and let out my emotions built up for years after his disappearance. Then I felt a hand patting down my back as to comfort me. I sit there in a fetal position, sobbing. After I gain my senses, I started apologizing"I know you had no choice over returning to your own world. Your own family. But I still berated you for no reason. I am sorry. I am really sorry.", I said."No. I am sorry. To not have had told you anything about your mom. You do not have the need to apologize.", He said as he hugged me.Suddenly, the wall through which I passed now was being thrashed. There was thump after thump. I knew who it was. It was Alisha. This side of the building was forbidden to be entered, even for Alisha's attendants. I quickly hid myself behind the study table, which was a few meters away from me. In a split second after I hid, the wall came crashing down. My heart was beating faster than ever."I know you are there Haru"I started to panic. "Open the drawer in the middle.", my father said. After I stare at him questioningly, I relented. After fumbling for a second or two, the study table broke. Or should I say broken."So you were hiding here. I am thankful that you found this room. It was really difficult to find this room, you know? I did not know where your father hid himself all those years. Now you have given me the answer to that question.", she said, looking around.As I look for an escape, I see an orb. It was dense yet magical. I reach out to it. I realize it was what I was searching for. I inject my mana and set the magic in motion. I heard my father yell, "Yes continu-"Thump! I was blasted. Specifically, the top left quarter of my body. I fall to my knees... Again. But I won again. The magic spell was completed. It was a teleportation device.I casted -[Rattle]-, the magic device activation spell. I was teleporting.
