The Magician of Sound

Chapter 528 - Departure

After explaining what had happened to Haruko's Family, Kai proceeded to another important talk with her parents.

He asked her hand of marriage and told them the circumstances.

Knowing that he was her childhood sweetheart and someone who had enough strength to protect her, they finally let her go, wishing Kai and Haruko a happy life.

Unfortunately, Kai could only promise them the marriage for the time being, but he was going to make it a reality as soon as possible.

The parents didn't really care about the date because they knew Kai was someone who held his promise, so they chose to believe in him and asked him to inform them a month before it happened so they could make some preparations.

They also apologized for what they did, which was denied by Kai because he knew what they did was to protect Haruko.

In the end, they had dinner together since Kai also told them he would be spending a night here before returning the next day.

After the discussion, Haruko dragged him to her room. Kai also planned to do this since he slipped a bottle of medicine into his luggage.

A few hours later.

On the bed, Kai was staring at the ceiling, thinking about something.

Haruko rolled once and looked into his eyes, "What are you thinking?"

"I am planning to return to the EU Base after this. The plane is ready to pick me up, so I want to ask you to come with me."

"I am sorry, but I don't think I can." Haruko closed her eyes in disappointment. It wasn't that she didn't wish to be together with him. She had her own matters that she needed to handle in order to help him.

"I will settle every matter you have in United Asia. That's why I can't go with you. Maybe after everything is done, I can finally live together with you." Haruko sighed and rested her head on his chest.

"Sorry for making you do all this." Kai sighed.

"You didn't make me do this. It's me who wants to do it. My family can also survive this ordeal thanks to you." Haruko smiled. "In any case, I am already the happiest after the talk about our marriage. I am the farthest away from you and I have never been on your side for so long unlike the others. I am afraid that you don't like me…"

"It's not possible. You have been a great help this whole time. Without you, I won't be returning to this place this fast." Kai shook his head, denying it almost immediately. "Still, I think I haven't said this to you… I love you."

She made a big smile. "I love you too."

…

The next day, Kai bid goodbye to Haruko and her parents and returned to the hotel where they all gathered.

Without wasting any more time, they checked out of the hotel and teleported to the beach before going straight to North Korea by using the Teleportation Magic.

The pilot quickly contacted him about his position and adjusted accordingly. With Kai's hearing range, as long as they flew low enough, he could easily find them.

As soon as they returned to the EU Base, Marsha and Kai met again and staged Evan's arrival.

Obviously, it was the time Evan healed the rest of the S Rank Magicians, including Kai, who was supposed to be laying down on the hospital bed.

After getting covered by the media, Marsha continued her diplomatic discussion before the Union joined hands with the US Base.

It was shown to the whole world that the Union had given all the people affected by Oliver to be cured of their curse.

Even Ria Ross needed to make her appearance, promising them to handle the case with extreme caution. At the same time, that promise also ignited the desire to live again because she showed proof that she managed to make a breakthrough about the cure.

For the duration of one year, she would treat them and send back all those people completely normal.

With the support of the citizens, the entire process ended smoothly and Oliver's name had become the thing in the past.

His replacement was also someone picked by Marsha.

Kai also thanked her for her continuous support by helping her with some additional support on the battlefield.

After a long stay, Kai finally returned to the airport together with Sofia.

He walked with a smile on his face and muttered, "It's been six months."

"Haha, I don't have much memory for half of it though." Sofia chuckled, teasing him.

"I am sorry, but at least you got strength. Nothing happened during that time either." Kai shrugged.

"I was joking. No need to take it to your heart."

Kai smiled and walked together before finding a group of people waiting for him.

"Big Brother Kai!"

All the kids from the orphanage quickly jumped to him, trying to hug him. Although it was a short period of time, most of the kids had begun to idolize Kai. Not only his strength but his kindness had melted their hearts after all.

Kai greeted the kids with a warm smile, hugging them one by one.

After that, Marsha and her butler came to him.

"Thank you for the help this whole time. The Union has become clear right now. Although it's impossible to deal with all the corruption inside, we are happy to eliminate the potential threat to humanity." She smiled.

"It was my problem to begin with." Kai shrugged. "I'm glad that I don't need to worry about United Asia and this base in the future."

"Haha. If you need my help, just call me. I will try to do it for you… Of course, with some compensation." She chuckled.

"You never forgot that last part…" Kai laughed and shook her hands.

After that, he bid goodbye to Rena and Leisa. Leisa was thankful for the opportunity to settle a few things with Evan, while Rena thanked Kai for all the things he had done for the base.

Arnaud and Roselyn also saw him off without many words because they had been saying their thanks since they accompanied him most of the time.

Still, there was one problem. Jules truly came.

"Please take care of my daughter." Bastien shook his hand.

"Yes, I will do my best."

"My daughter must have been annoying you at the start, so I apologize for her behavior back then."

"It's a thing in the past. People can grow." Kai chuckled.

"Mother!" Sofia pouted and looked away before seeing Jules' expression. "I wonder what will happen when Grandfather meets with Sir Nathan and Sir Tarou…"

"Don't… Don't give him the idea." Kai quickly stopped her helplessly before knowing that Jules would certainly do that from his expression alone. "Look! His expression tells you that it's a good idea. It's going to be a mess."

"Hahaha." All of them laughed.

Last but not least, Kai met Felice alone. "Felice, will you be okay alone?"

"Of course. I am going to prove to you that I am worthy of being your student." Felice pumped her chest proudly. "I have several tasks to do, so you will be surprised after another six months."

"I am looking forward to it." Kai patted her head for a while before finally leaving together with Sofia.

While waving their hands, the pair finally entered the gate and departed.
