Chapter 240 Side Quest Complete!
Out of the mountain pass now as our four royal siblings and the band of children that they saved are safe, journeying not to long as they stumble upon a quaint little village to the east.
Coming through the entrance of the rather peaceful village as not many people are flooding the area, not all that damaged after fighting against the bandit leader that Dante slew, standing in front of the group of children with his brothers as they look around with wandering eyes to make sure the village is safe to leave the kids. Behind Dante as Hio and Pira and their older brother gaze at the new environment, Pira says in a soft voice, this village seems nice.
Glancing back at Pira, turning his body around as Dante faces both Pira and Hio who are next to one another, getting down on one knee to be eye level with the little tykes, Dante says with compassion in his tone, it is nice. And this will be you guys' new home. So, this is goodbye you to.
Showing sad expressions on their faces as they look at Dante straight in his eyes, speaking this time as Hio has something to express, you're leaving already? Aren't you hurting? And don't you need some rest?
Smiling serenely as he looks at only Hio as he responds to his three-part question, Dante says, I have no major injuries, and my energy levels are fine, but thanks for your concern Hio.
Still on the topic of not wanting the four brave warriors to go just yet, Hio vocalizes once more and says as he does an unexpected action and hugs the still knelt Dante with tears coming down his cheeks, please don't leave us just yet.
Caught off by the suddenness of emotion and gesture, but accepting it, opening his mouth to utter a word, Dante is cut off by the always so outspoken Muha and he says, sorry kid the side quest is complete, but it was fun hanging with you shrimps.
Now able to speak after Muha said his peace, Dante says as he is done reciprocating the hug, rising on his two feet, as he gazes at both of the siblings, Muha is correct that our mission is accomplished, like you guys and the rest of the children, your free to live happy lives now, even though this is good by right now, who knows our paths might cross in the future.
Moving past the bundle of children as the four Charmons siblings walk outside the entrance of the village, with all four of their backs turned the four warriors continue on their path.
