Faraway Survivor

Chapter 54: To Protect The One You Love-3



A few hours before the battle started.

Humilitas is facing with Yua and Avaritia and interrogates them:

-What are the real purpose of you guys?  (Humilitas)

Yua wants to say something but being stoped by Avaritia.

-We want to produce an origin. Specifically, we want to produce a pseudo-Humility origin. (Avaritia)

Humilitas can't conceal her surprise on her face.

-Why? What do you want my "origin" for? (Humilitas)

Avaritia points at the tentacle.

-We desire it to seal those tentacles. (Avaritia)

Humilitas is angry at Avaritia's response.

-Is it all your fault that little girl becomes like that? If you guys don't hold the ceremony in the first place, there is no way things like that will happen. (Humilitas)

Avaritia shakes her head:

-My master already predicts that things will come out sooner or later. So we need to get the origin to seal them.

-Tchh, why do you target me anyway? (Humilitas)

-Because you are the only one not using the "origin".(Avaritia)

-Tchh.(Humilitas)

Sora interrupts our conversations:

-We need healing Aya with other first. (Sora)

-Fine, Let me do it. (Humilitas)

Humilitas tries to heal Aya and others with her divine power.

-What's the situation? (Sora)

Humilitas utter a deep sigh and said:

-Aya and Wisd will be back to normal soon. However, Himari and "Mind" require more time to recover. (Humilitas)

-Is that so? (Sora)

Humilitas glare at Avaritia.

-Shall we continue what we left? (Humilitas)

-Fine. (Avaritia)

Wisd has overheard the conversation and try asking:

-What is the origin? (Wisd)

-Hey, Wisd you need to take a break. (Humilitas)

-No, this is more important. Others are also awake, Let us heard about it together. (Wisd)

Avaritia talks with a solemn voice:

-A source of our power, a thing that makes people become a goddess. (Avaritia)

-So as long as you have the "origin", you can become the goddess? (Wisd)

Humilitas shakes her head.

-No, you must fit with the origin's characteristic to able to use it in the first place. (Humilitas)

Humilitas points at Avaritia.

-That's one possess an abnormal amount of greed. Therefore, she can use greed origin and become a goddess. Furthermore, the synchronization rate of your must be over 50% to become a goddess. (Humilitas)

-The more you synchronize with the origin, the stronger you will become. And the goddess of your only has around 5% synchronization rate. (Avaritia)

Avaritia continue:

-She becomes that weak because she distributes her power with others and stops using origin. (Avaritia)

Sora is surprised at the fact and asks.

-That fairy tale. Is that genuine? (Sora)

-Yes, she gives the power to your people consist of "The Mind", "The Body" and "The Wisdom."And our ultimate goal is to gather those power inside them and create a pseudo "origin". (Avaritia)

-That's bull shit, why do we even need "origin" to seal that thing? (Humilitas)

Avaritia questioned Humilitas.

-You can't exercise the divine power when you are confronting her, don't you Humilitas? (Avaritia)

-So what? (Humilitas)

-Do you recall the only time that we goddesses can't utilize the divine power? (Avaritia)

Humilitas make a frightened face.

-"Primordial Chaos" has returned? (Humilitas)

Avaritia shakes her head.

-Only a part of "him."(Avaritia)

Avaritia kneels before Humilitas.

-Could you give me the origin of yours? I want to save the princess? (Avaritia)

Humilitas immediately decline the Avaritia offer.

-Why don't you use your "origin"? Do you want to save your loved one while still desire more power? You sure live up to your name, don't you? (Humilitas)

Avaritia speaks with a low-pitched voice.

-I lost it 40,000 years ago...(Avaritia)

-Hah, You think I will believe in that lie. One of the goddesses who desire power most loses her "origin".(Humilitas)

-Hey, Humilitas. (Himari)

Humilitas turn back and see Aya and Himari.

-I think you should use the "origin" to save Farah. (Himari)

Humilitas become angry.

-Have you hit your head somewhere since you wake up, Himari? (Humilitas)

-You don't use it anyway, right? (Himari)

-Hah, but if it falls in the hand of the wicked people. It will become a disaster. (Humilitas)

Himari looks into Humilitas's eyes.

-In these months, you have witnessed Farah's kindness with your eyes. You even ask me to hurriedly recruit her to your idol band. I think she will make your dream come true in the future. (Himari)

Himari scratches her head.

-There is give and take in this world. You must help her first before you want her to do something for you. (Himari)

Humilitas shouts out loud.

-Fine, I will use my "origin" to save her. (Humilitas)

Himari comes near Humilitas and caresses her head.

-Stop, I'm not a kid. (Humilitas)

-Ahahaha. (Himari)

Sora turns to Avaritia and asks.

-How could we use the origin to save her? (Sora)

-We need to make the origin come in contact with Farah. (Humilitas)

-How could we even do that with many tentacles? (Wisd)

Sora starts thinking seriously.

-We need a small person, so she can easily avoid tentacles. (Sora)

Aya raises her hand.

-I will do it. (Aya)

-You are small, But how can you make origin come in contact with Farah? (Avaritia)

Aya shows out a bullet.

-Can you make the "origin" small as this? (Aya)

-It's possible, Ah! (Humilitas)

-Yup, I want to use it like a bullet. (Aya)

-That's a brilliant idea, Aya. (Wisd)

-Now we have a proper plan. We need to take a rest before go and rescue Farah. However, Himari and Mind, you guys can't come with us. (Humilitas)

-Eh? (Himari)

-You need to take a rest. You and Mind's wounds are much terrible than Aya and Wisd. (Humilitas)

-All right... (Himari)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aya is looking at the castle with anxious eyes.

-It's the first time I see you worried about someone, Aya. (Sora)

Sora gradually comes close and stands next to Aya.

-I merely think It's my time to grow up, sister. (Aya)

-...(Sora)

-I'm sorry, sister. (Aya)

-What? (Sora)

-I know you are always worried about me, sister. (Aya)

Aya looks at Sora's eyes.

-Thanks for supporting me from the shadow, sister. (Aya)

Tear start flowing out from Sora's eyes.

-What's wrong, sister? (Aya)

-Ehem, there is some dust come into my eyes. Don't worry about it. (Sora)

-My indifferent sister can make a mistake sometimes. (Aya)

Sora can't suppress her curiosity and asks.

-Why do you... act differently from normal, Aya? (Sora)

Aya points at the castle.

-Over there, a person teaches me about love. The moment I saw her cried at the castle, I have promised myself not to lie anymore. (Aya)

-From this incident, I know I will never know when I will die. I could die suddenly because of an accident or disease. (Aya)

Aya looks at Sora.

-I don't want to die before telling her how much I love her. (Aya)

-...(Sora)

-Therefore as long as I live, I will treat her like a "true princess". I will be loyal to her and be a person that she can rely on. If she vows to protect the world, then I will spend the rest of my life protecting her. (Aya)

>Title received: Knight of Love.

A loud cry can be heard from the castle interrupt their conversation.

-Farah! We need going now, sister. (Aya)

-Okay, Let me summon others. (Sora)
