"..."
Sitting alone in the room, Hans naturally heard Kael's words clearly.
But, as the protagonist had said, he decided not to forgive Kael so quickly.
But then, when Kael mentioned that he would leave this place and go to a village called Olive for a while, Hans couldn't help but frown.
What was this?
Had Kael decided to give up?
But that wasn't his personality.
But that tone… didn't sound fake at all.
It belonged to someone who was completely helpless, who had no intention of trying anymore, who had accepted giving up on everything.
Had Hans gone too far?
"No, I'm not wrong."
Shaking those thoughts from his mind, the protagonist shook his head.
Kael needed to learn a lesson.
And if he didn't even try, then Hans might have to reconsider this friendship.
But…
Were those Hans' true feelings?
"…As expected, I have another weakness. And this… seems to have been around for quite some time."
***
In the days that followed, Kael had truly disappeared from Hans's life.
