Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 97: Frozen lands

It's been a week of traveling from the second mansion all the way towards the borders of Gusteko and Lugnica. 

As they were still a few miles away from crossing into another kingdom, the group could feel the intense cold the country's in from such a long distance. 

This prompted everyone to switch into their winter attire just to be prepared for the intense cold the kingdom's in.

"So, this is the type of environment the Bowel Hunter was raised in. Starts to make sense." Ram said all the while Kishida turned towards Yabuto. He could tell that he wasn't happy being back to the kingdom he was born in.

"You alright?"

"...yeah. I'll be fine. It's been a while since I've felt this cold." Yabuto says this with a blank expression, something rare for Kishida since he rarely sees his friend like this. Sora also noticed that, prompting him to ask Yabuto:

"Do you not like the cold?"

Yabuto had snapped out of his serious expression when he heard Sora's question.

"...It's not that per say. Let's just put it like this, it's a place that reminds me too much on why I never come here."

"I understand." Sora nodded when saying this. Roswaal couldn't help but overhear this and end up chamming into the conversation.

"Interesting. I wooooonder why you would join us wheeeeen you clearly hate being here."

Yabuto turned towards Roswaal with an annoyed expression, not liking him being involved in this conversations.

"I have my reasons, Margrave." Right before he could say something to insult him, he noticed on the corner of his eye Ram looking at him, giving a warning look to choose his next words very carefully. Normally he wouldn't care though out of all the maids, Ram does make him a bit nervous. This prompted him to calm himself before continuing to speak, "It's not something I like to discuss, Roswaal-sama."

"I understaaaaand that, I'm mainly curious on what could've convinced you to come here with us. You cooooould've stayed with Emilia-sama's group and gave your strength to them."

"Let's just say that I don't want the Bowel Hunter to die, especially in a place like Gusteko."

"Understandable." Roswaal said in a respectful manner before turning towards the front. "I wonder, will you be our guiiiide?"

Yabuto paused for a moment when hearing this, not really having crossed his mind since finding Elsa won't be easy at all.

"Maybe if we are by the place I was born...but even if I knew Gusteko, finding the Bowel Hunter won't be easy at all."

"Sora, was there some kind of plan in finding the Bowel Hunter?"

As the green haired knight asked this, everyone turned their attention towards the keyblade master since this was a question they were all wondering. 

Sora could feel everyone turning their attention towards him and yet he wasn't fazed by the attention. 

He took a moment as he took a deep breath before looking at Louis Arneb first, seeing her curious expression. 

He patted her head before responding to Yabuto's question with:

"I'll find her. Our hearts are connected. That connection will lead me to her."

Although everyone at this point has a little bit of an understanding on what the keyblade master was saying, Rem still didn't like the phrasing of that since it sounds like something else.
