Chapter 94

Pops, Yōji and I got together to speak about what the villagers decided to do now that the Fire Dragon is dead, Pops hummed and then spoke "so most of the survivors are going to relatives nearby or take refuge at a village or town somewhere?".

Yōji nodded "I doubt they'd know anyone there, though, are they going to be all right".

I clapped Yōji in his shoulder "you did everything you could to help, most people would have left them to their fate, but you didn't and that's what matters".

Yōji smiled, Pops nodded but then continued on "they have bigger problems though".

Yōji's nodded "kids and old folk with no families and the casualties... thanks to Rean there weren't many, but they still left people behind".

The Mayor walked up to us and seemed to be aware of what we were speaking about, very impressive, given that he didn't understand Japanese but he could read the atmosphere "I'm sorry to be so cold... but we have to take care of our own, too".

We can't afford to take care of them, as well".

Yōji seemed to understand the gist of what the Mayor said and decided to ask "will you leave them?".

The Mayor, didn't answer Yōji's question, instead he took off his hat and said "we sincerely thank you".

Yōji undeterstood and nodded, the Mayor and the rest of the Villagers were going to leave the kids and old folk behind, a harsh and cold way of doing things, but it seems that they had their own issues to deal with.

I understood that, you can't always help everyone especially when you can't help yourself, Yōji just smiled knowing that the Mayor wasn't at fault here and that he was just thinking what was best for everyone.

So we decided to say goodbye, things might have not been perfect, and there were definitely things that we didn't like about all of this, but in the end, we all have to do what's best for us to survive.

So we all stood there and waved at the villagers as they left to find a new home, they all waved back while yelling their thanks to us, something the Recon Three Team appreciated.

Kuribayashi even cried a little, everyone noticed but we didn't say anything about it, while Glaceon just rubbed her face on her leg to cheer her up, we were all sincerely hoping that everyone would be alright.

Kurokawa then turned her head towards Yōji " so what do we do, Lieutenant Itami?".

Yōji turned his head towards to the side and stared at the short group of people left behind, five children, tow teen girls, an elderly couple.

We have decided to bring these people with us back to base as refugees, of course Lelei, the old Wizard, Tuka and Rory decided to tag along, Tuka because she had no where else to go.

While the old Wizard and Lelei were curious about us, Rory, I'm pretty sure she's following us to find out more about me and Serafall, but thats fine, she's very fun to hang out with.

Yōji smiled at them and then sighed "well in any case, don't worry, leave it to us"

Most of them smiled, even though they didn't understand any word, Yōji just said they sure felt the intent.

He even gave them a peace sign, though it made him look silly "dude, you look weird".

Yōji turned his head towards me "shut up! I'm trying to put them at ease!".

Everyone laughed which made Yōji turned his head away from everyone, but in the end he just sighed and began to laugh as well, Kurokawa smiled and then spoke "I knew you would say that".
