I haven't returned home yet. I'm typing this chapter on my phone in my hometown, lest you say I'm a eunuch.
Eossia was located in the northeastern part of the Valoran continent, in the eastern tropical monsoonal region. It was relatively low in altitude and was significantly affected by the ocean monsoons in summer. Every time it came to this season, it would be rainy for a long time, and this situation would usually last for several days.
However, today seemed to be an exception. In the long rainy season, it was rare to see such a sunny and cloudless day.
As the weather improved, the number of pedestrians on the streets of Ionia increased. People wanted to take advantage of the rare good weather to go out for a walk. The rainy season would eventually affect some of their normal lives.
"... Akari, it's already noon... lunch is ready.”
Shen, who was dressed in simple casual clothes, gently knocked on Akari's door. After waiting for a while, he did not hear any movement from inside. He could not help but sigh again and push the door open.
The room was very dark, without a trace of light. Compared to the bright sunlight outside, this room was a little scary.
"Akari…You haven't eaten for three days…I've already sent the food over. You should at least eat some…”
“……. Take it away.... I'm not hungry…"
Her messy hair was scattered on her increasingly thin shoulders. The originally dazzling fiery red hair seemed to have gradually lost its original luster because of its owner's dispirited appearance.
Without looking at who it was, Akari only responded with a dry and weak voice. Her empty eyes were staring at the broken green headband from the beginning to the end.
Clenching his fists tightly, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. It had been three days since she woke up. That emptiness and numbness, as if someone had dug out her soul, almost suffocated him.
There had never been a time like this. Even when Akari faced the failure of her first mission, she had never been like this. She still smiled like a flower every day, using her unique cheerfulness to infect everyone around her, as dazzling as the sun.
From then on, Shen swore to himself that he would always be by her side to protect her, to protect everything that she valued, to protect her smile…
"…Shen…you should go out…leave me alone.”
……. This was the first time he heard her take the initiative to speak, but there was no joy on Shen's face. This was not the Akari he wanted to protect. Right now, she was just a shell without a soul.
Without saying anything else, Shen gently closed the door and walked straight to a house in the Balance Sect. There was already a masked man in green waiting for him in the secret room.
"Sir…what are your orders?" Seeing Shen enter, the green-clothed man immediately half-knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted him in a humble tone.
"Stop all your intelligence gathering work now and order all members of Balance to find this person for me. No matter if he's dead or alive, even if he's turned into ashes, you have to find his whereabouts.”
Hearing Shen's order, the green-clothed man's expression was obviously stunned, but he did not dare to ask more. He was only a team leader of the Balance Organization. He had been trained to accept orders since he was young and never questioned them.
He took the photo from Shen. It was a dark-skinned youth. He was not old, probably around 17 or 18 years old.
"His name is Ye Feng. He was in Demacia a month ago. You can start from this.”
"Understood……However, Sir, if we send out all the members of Balance to search for this person and Master blames us…”
"Hmph…that's not what you need to consider. If Master asks, I'll take responsibility. Your mission is to carry it out, do you understand me?”
"Akari…Shen…Definitely…I'll definitely find your smile again...”
It's so tiring to write on my phone. Look at how hard I'm working. Can you save it for me?
