Finding A Reason

It's been almost 3 days since the fight between Naota and Pistom. Naota's eyes open for the first time in the 3 days he has been asleep.

Naota opens his eyes and finds that he is sleeping on a comfortable and a decorative bed that would be considered to be a king or queen's bed.

(Where am I?)

Was the first that Naota thought as he turned his neck right and found out a girl sleeping next to him holding him tightly. She has long purple hair with a ribbon on it. She also seems to be wearing a short black night dress and has breasts almost that of a C cup.

Naota seems to be confused about what is happening around him. "It seems you're awake." The girl says and gets up with a smile. She yawns as she gets up stretching both her arms. "You must be confused about who I am right?" The girl asks Naota. "I am the person who treated your wounds, the name is Livonia Jackolin." The girl gives a huge smile and chuckles a little.

"And what were you doing sleeping next to me?" Naota asks the Livonia. "Well, you are sleeping on my bed you know." Livonia says as she removes her tongue out teasing Naota. Naota looks outside. "This is..."

"The castle you saved the castle of Bluemoon." Livonia says with a smile. "You said this is your room, what does that mean?" Naota asks Livonia. "Well, this is the guest room and there were no other rooms I thought would be better than this room...." Livonia looks away. "They all smelled bad..." Livonia says. "So I had to treat you within this room, hence why, you and I were sleeping together since the last 3 days." Livonia says with a smile.

"I see..." Naota says as he looks outside. "Would like to know what's been going on in the outside world?" Livonia asks Naota with her hands on the back and her face right in his. "Sure..." Naota says as he looks away.

(What is she? My assistant or some shit like that?)

"To begin with, the king has declared that the city of Bluemoon will be under his protection and the old ruler Adana Itrix will re-rule the city but he needed trusted advisors for her so he gave that position to Maria and Rochelle as he believes they are the most suited for the job."Livonia says.

(Rochelle I can understand but Maria as an advisor, that's some news for me.)

"Rochelle will be moving her guild over here and the adventurers from Clance can move here if they want to on their own accordance." Livonia says.

(Does that mean that Tia will be moving here too?)

"As for the prostitution circle, it is still available but no one is forced to do it anymore. Whoever feels like they want to do it can do it." Livonia says.

(At least something improved.)

"There are some new laws that Adana has created and is passing onto the king. He will decide what to do with those laws and that enact them to Bluemoon." Livonia says.

(I wonder what kind of new laws Adana has created...)

"I should let the others know that your finally awake, they were damn worried about you especially that couple and that little girl of yours." Livonia gives Naota a smile.

Livonia leaves the room.

Naota looks outside the window of the room.

(This city...I can see that they have not enacted new laws but also I see people working...Working to rebuild it. I don't know why, I feel so happy to have helped all of these people yet sad...Sad that I had to fight and kill someone to do it.)

Naota begins wearing his attire.

(Did I do the right thing mom? I killed a person to save a lot of people from their disastrous lives. Would you have done the same? I have nothing else to do here. I have saved Bluemoon.)

Naota stands in front of the window and smiles.

(Maybe someday I will be back to this place but right now...I need to find a reason to live. The reason for me to live in this world, for now, I have no reason to live here but when I do, I will be back and when I am back...I will be sure there will be a reason for me to be back...Until that, goodbye, everyone...)

Adana reaches the room, "His gone..." Adana gives a smile. "Are you not sad about him leaving?" Livonia asks Adana. "Not at all because I am sure...He will be back someday. Until then, I will just have to wait and do my job." Adana says having complete faith in Naota.

"WHAT?! HE LEFT?! THAT BASTARD LEFT WITHOUT EVEN SPEAKING TO ME?!!!" Maria seems to be shocked. Grafali doesn't know what to say. Lily is crying out loud, "BIG BROTHER NAOTA!!!!!" Everyone seems to be screaming.

"Thank you...Takaki Naota." Skar and Prenci smile as they hold each other together and look out of the window remembering Naota.

Rochelle prays in front of a stone and looks at the direction Naota went in with a smile. "Thank you, Naota...Be sure to be back, the guild will be waiting for you but first she will be waiting for you outside Bluemoon with a mission." Rochelle chuckles.

Naota walks out of Bluemoon. "Tsch! SERIOUSLY?! YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE ME TOO?!" Tia asks Naota. "What?" Naota looks confused. "Whatever! I am coming with you, you understand?!" Tia screams at Naota. "Sure but I have no idea where I will be going next..." Naota says to Tia with an uncertain tone.

"Really? You want a job or something?" Tia asks Naota. "Why do you ask?" Naota questions Tia. Tia grins. "Because there is a job in the Golden City, so what do you say?" Tia asks with a grin. "I guess we can make our way there..." Naota says with an uncertain look. "Let's go then!" Tia says with a smile.

"And can you please smile, your cold face really makes me think you're unhappy about this job." Tia says to Naota. Naota starts laughing. "HEY! WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THAT?!" Tia asks Naota. "It's funny because you're the first one to make a comment like that on my facial expression." Naota says. "WHATEVER!" Tia folds her hands and starts walking straight forwards.

Naota and Tia make their way towards the Golden City where a new adventure awaits them.
