My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 211: Fate?

Chapter 211: Fate?

"So are you not going to give me a child?" Jin-ah asked again.

"Didn't we just go over it?" Kanae said with an angry tone.

"Jin-ah how about we talk about it after marriage, you know Jin-woo and uncle might really try to kill me if you get pregnant before marriage," Haru joked and Jin-ah nodded she could already see it happening.

"So I want complete Demon Slayer manga I wanna see this Yoriichi Tsugikuni since he looks like you, Plus I want another manga and a completed one," Jin-ah said as she folded her arms. Haru simply nodded and let her sate her curiosity.

"Ok, which one do you want?" Haru asked.

"Hmmmmm, Naruto you told me it is a great series," Jin-ah spoke after thinking a bit.

"Alright then but you better not start slacking on your training just to finish it," Haru said seriously and Jin-ah nodded quickly since she could feel Kanae's glare on the back of her head.

After relaxing in the living room for a while everyone went to have dinner which was made by Kanae since Queresha was busy working in the basement with Zenobia, She has been staying over more frequently after joining them for training.

Everyone went to train at Relictombs at night like usual and Haru saw the girls off as they entered the Relictombs individually.

'Looks like Resha is staying at home with Zenobia to focus on their research,' Haru thought Queresha loved her research she had turned the whole left side of the mansion into her own filling rooms with her research papers and material.

Haru who was about to enter the Relictombs to train stopped as he got an unexpected message from his clone.

'Damn it, is this what it meant,' Haru quickly used Flying Raijin and appeared where the clone was and he was met with a devastating scene.

Blood ran through the cave like a river with mutilated bodies impaled on metal spikes.

Haru look over and saw a clone of his standing in front of a passed-out man, The man's height was well over two meters with a hunched posture. He has long, thin arms that dangle by his sides as though his arm had popped out of their sockets. He wears thick dark bandages underneath a shabby black mantle that perches on his shoulders and a tattered hood with his messy bangs peeking out from it. Underneath his hood are two obsidian horns with the left one missing along with his left arm.

Haru looked at his clone who was in front of the man, The clone muttered 'About damn time,'

Haru was about to turn and look for Alea since the clone said that he found her in critical condition.

"Haru…..ugh…..Run…..Away….Please…..Are…You...Ugh..there….Not…you…. Please….." Haru was about to ask his clone about the matter and heard a pained voice that spoke with difficulty.

Haru looked back at his clone, The clone sighed and sent him what he saw when he arrived.

Haru stood there for a minute and then looked at the unconscious man named Uto. Haru could hear Alea crying worrying if he was alright or not. She had the heart to think about others even in her situation.

"Ha…ru...Are…..You…..There….?" Alea called out again, her voice growing more anxious than before.

Haru turned after throwing Uto in his Training space telling the clone to go in and 'Take care' of Uto for a bit before walking towards Alea.

Alea was impaled through the chest destroying her mana core completely, with her right arm along with her legs missing, and her eyes were gouged out with blood and tears running out.

'How did she hold on in this state?' Haru thought as he looked at the Sobbing Alea, she wasn't crying because of the pain she was in but rather thinking that Haru was hurt trying to save her.

"I am here don't worry nothing is going to happen to me," Haru spoke to Alea who lifted her head to face Haru.

"Thank….God…." Alea spoke with difficulty trying to reach out to Haru with her left hand.

"How did this happen to you?" Haru asked since he only saw got a little from the clone and didn't know what happened here.

"Even…..with... a…. shattered mana core....I should be able to show you.….. Come…..Close..." Alea asked slowly to ease her pain while calling Haru near.

Haru went closer and Alea touched her forehead to his.

The moment it did a stream of memory passed into Haru's head, He saw all the things that happened in this room from start to the end when his clone came in and knocked out Uto.

"I am Sorry for... show you such things….." Alea said.

"It is fine, So he was trying to take revenge by torturing you," Haru asked Alea his expression hasn't changed even after seeing how Uto tortured everyone from Alea's squad including her. His face was calm but his eyes were burning red like magma he could see the dark aura around Alea thicken with each passing moment and it tried to engulf her whole body in it.

Seeing this Haru was able to confirm that what he saw before was almost like peeking into a person's fate. Although vague it was still something that he couldn't understand before and it resulted in this.

"Yes, It is because I took his arm, if it wasn't for Zenobia's sword I wouldn't have been able to do that either," Alea said in a self-deprecating manner.

"You are pretty strong yourself you know," Haru said slowly because he knew that at the moment Alea's hearing was heightened because of the loss of her eyes and a loud sound can be painful for her.

"But I wasn't strong enough, if only I was as strong as you then maybe I could've saved my squad from meeting such a fate," Alea spoke in pain the painful voices of her squad members still rung in her ears.

Haru didn't say anything while looking at her.

"You know….Even at death's door, I feel calm somehow…..I was scared before but maybe it is because you are here…That I can feel so calm….." Alea was trying to be calm but her body trembled like a leaf showing how scared she was.

"It is ok, let it all out," Haru said while hugging her lightly.

After a short silence, Alea hugged Haru back and started crying like a child.

"Hic* I Don't want to die, Ugh Hic*...I am scared, Please Haru save me," Alea said while crying hugging Haru tightly with her left hand. She didn't know why she asked him to save her since it would be impossible given her current situation.

'Did I start depending on him without knowing it? Or is it because I am in a helpless situation like this?' Alea thought while crying in Haru's arms, She was thinking about how she said something so out of her own expectations to someone she had met only about half a month ago.

'I was going to heal her, so it would be if she lets out then let it become a mental scar on her, What she went through will definitely leave some problems for her, But I believe she can overcome them,' Haru thought while he patted Alea's back.

"Don't worry It will be ok," Haru said slowly patting her back to calm her down.

'His voice is really soothing to listen, If only I had more time maybe I would've….' Alea thought as her consciousness was drifting away and her body felt weightless.

***

Haru came into his Training room after he left the Healed Alea in the care of Queresha and Zenobia.

Zenobia was quite shocked when she heard what happened to her and dropped everything to take care of Alea while Queresha helped her as well.

He told them to talk about it to the others when they come back and he also sent the news to the Elven Royal Family or more Precisely Merial since he had a direct communication scroll that would connect to her, Don't ask about why he has that.

[E/N: Another one,]

Now that everything on the outside had been taken care of, Haru put his attention on the task that is remaining.

Haru walked in the dense forest and came to a clearing where he told his Clone to look after Uto.

Seeing Haru come his clone smacked the shit out of Uto to wake him up.

"Geez, Well that is one way to wake someone up," Uto spoke groggily as he looked up at Haru and then looked back at his Clone.

"There are two of you now? You sure hit hard man you are making me see things here," Uto spoke sarcastically.

"We have a sassy one on our hands, don't we?" The Clone spoke with a chuckle.

"Did you do something yet?" Haru asked.

"Nah, But I was tempted Haru you know the sassy ones always break easily but if done correctly it is quite satisfying," The clone spoke with a creepy smile.
