The Past

Hans followed Ryouma to find that he was actually hunting some monster around the lake, he kills any monster that he finds without any exception he just takes the monster core before looking for his next victim.

He counted that Ryouma had killed more than 30 monsters since the beginning, in the end, he rested on a tree.

"Come out Hans, you suck at playing hide and seek to remember?" Ryouma suddenly said toward a tree, Hans come out behind that tree realizing that he had been found out.

"You just good at it!" Hans shouted at him, he may not the best in playing hide and seek but he know that he does not suck at it. It just that whenever he played with him, he could find him from his sensitivity.

'Damn, he has two skill and never tell me about it and what with that talent he had'

Ryouma smiled at him and beckon him to sit in front of him and said, " Sit down in front of me and tell me what do you want to talk about?

"I just worried that you will do something crazy so I ended up following you, it seems to be a waste of time though" Hans scratched his neck clearly embarrassed to say it.

"Thank you I appreciate it." He patted the back of Hans' shoulder. "Sometimes you need to let someone spent their time alone, it will better for them that way."

"Someone once told me that when you sad and choose to spent time alone, it will not help at all instead you will feel lonely and that make you think you are alone in this world without anyone that you can share your burden with." The one told him that was the most important person for him on earth that not part of his family, he remembers her sweet voice of her clearly on his heart.

He laughed a little and said with a teasing tone. "Who is this girl? You never tell me about her."

"It's a secret, anyway when will you told sister Eva about your feeling?" Hans just raises his shoulder and look at him before returning the favor by teasing him back.

He only laughs it off, in the end, both of them have their conversation through the night before they return back toward their camp.

Hans looks at Ryouma's back as he enters his tent that was built by his subordinate, he shakes his head before entered his own tent.

He knows Ryouma since he was young not only that he also knows that he loves Eva but he has a problem with his heart that makes him unable to show his feeling to her, he truly loves him and Eva also love him.

The problem is that his heart still wounded by his past when he saw his parents killed in front of him he grows fear of losing his loved one. He thinks that he wasn't ready yet and need more power to protect his love.

A human feeling is the most unpredictable thing in the world, their feeling may influence them to do something without thinking and only followed their feeling. No matter where you are or who are you, your feeling will be able to decide the course of your action.

It could be said that it had become a heart demon for him that he needs to fight before he is able to mend his wounded heart, its, not something easy but he believes that Ryouma can do it one day and finally able to let go of his past and greet the future in front of him.

'Now that I think about it, did I already let go of the past?' He still remembers all the thing that had happened in his past life like growing up with his parent, meeting all of his friends, share laugh and joy. The sweet smile of the girl that changes his life also something that he can't forget, the care she gives to him and her love for him.

He remembered all of the regrets he has to win his life on earth and all of the wrong things that he had done without even able to have a chance to fix it up.

'I am sorry.' Without him knowing tear had rolled down over his face without a sign of stopping, he falls down on his sleeping bed and fallen asleep.

The next morning all of the members of the team had wake up and start making breakfast, their camp hadn't get attacked by any of monsters through the night which is must be because of the presence of the dragon and crane that drive them off.

Near the lake Hans submerged his legs while sitting on a stone in the side of the lake, he looks at the scenery in front of him with a relieved face as if a large burden had gone from him.

"My past will always be with me, but it won't decide anything that I do in this life." When he talks with his brother last night, he realized that he himself hadn't let go of his own past and still have it covering his heart and mind.

Now he had calmed his mind and accepted that his past is the past while the present is his current life where he needs to be better than his previous life.

He gets up from his spot, joining the rest of the team for a breakfast there he surprisedly sees that the crane is actually joining them. It eats some roasted fish that the team made and seems to enjoy it with great relish.

The Flood dragon also rise up from the lake and joined them too, the team roasted a whole body of a bear that they caught for it. Everyone seems to enjoy themselves too, even Hans enjoy their breakfast that seems to be a camping event.
