To Become Stronger

Yinying Village was severely damaged from the events that just occurred.

Carl was called to take Han into intensive care.

Akasan and Gida sat next to each other on the ground, still processing what happened.

"We almost died, didn't we?" Gida asked.

"Yeah."

"Akasan... my family was a part of the Resistance. Our house was raided by people who sided with the Republic. They sacrificed themselves to save me, the youngest. We haven't been here long but... I don't wanna lose this family too. I want to get stronger."

"Yeah. We all will. I have to catch up to the past."

Ren sat some feet away, looking down at the ground. "U-Um...! A-Akasan?"

He looked. It was the first time she called him by name.

"I want to be stronger too." She bowed with her head to the ground. "Please help me."

Naozumi stood with his arms crossed. "Britannia has the strongest humans out of everyone in the world. But if we're gonna defend against monsters like that, then we'd all better train harder."
