Bang!


    [Fatal Damage]


    Hiro kicked the yer who was working as a guard in that ce, making them fall backwards and destroying people’s stalls with their bare hands.


    They were helpless and fell with one kick. They didn’t expect that the yer they had just cursed at was such a powerful yer. Even with one kick to the chest, their health points were reduced by 50%.


    “I had already warned you.” Noah only watched the free show, which was enough to keep him entertained.


    Liberty was still shocked by themotion. However, after the girl was able to adapt to the current situation, she quickly grabbed Hiro’s arm and pulled him away from the ce.


    The girl even had time to snatch the item she had been after from the start forcibly. A flower-shaped item with a purple crown that sparkled beautifully as if it were a stic flower.


    “You haven’t paid!” eximed the woman who had been having an argument with Liberty. As she was about to walk out of her stall, Noah swiftly stood in front of her, blocking her path._.


    “Don’t disturb them. You’d better let that item go. You won’t win. You don’t know who that girl is, do you?” Noah sneered. He squinted his eyes and spoke in a half whisper.


    The woman looked at Noah with her eyes wide open. He was more distracted by Noah’s handsome face than what the man just said. She even gulped nervously, forgetting the flower, and her lost LSC.


    “Uhm wee, Young master. What are you looking for in my shop? I have all kinds of nts that aren’t even registered in the system yet.” That woman, even though her body was muscr, she was still a gentle woman when she was in front of a man like Noah.


    “Nope.” Noah frowned, then looked around to see where Hiro and Liberty were. Actually, he was very curious to hear what they were going to talk about.


    …


    “Hiro, finally I found you!” Liberty pulled Hiro upstairs and led him to the corner of the Hellfire Tavern.


    Her obvious appearance, which had a pair of wolf’s ears on top of her head, made the guest in the tavern stare at her with displeasure. Some even whispered openly because they knew who the girl was through television and all currentmunication media.


    “Libe, what are you doing in a dirty ce like this? It doesn’t really suit you,” he half snapped.


    Hiro felt a little annoyed that he saw Liberty almost getting hurt because of the highly paid market guard yer. He felt that Liberty was too reckless, and he didn’t want to imagine what would happen to her if he didn’te at the right time.


    However, Liberty looked at Hiro’s eyes keenly, making Hiro lose the will to scold or me her.


    The girl grabbed Hiro’s right hand and opened his fist before cing a flower that she had been holding nervously on top of Hiro’s palm.


    Ding!


    [You have obtained Lily of The Midnight]


    Getting the notification, Hiro looked back at Liberty in confusion. The girl’s face had changed. The tip of her nose was red and her eyes were staring at Hiro with tears in her eyes.


    “Hiro, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know that Yuujin was your brother. I didn’t know anything. I—my words at that time were too harsh. I shouldn’t say anything like that. I—I can’t stop ming myself after I saw it on your live broadcast.”


    Hiro let Liberty touch his face with her warm and soft fingers.


    “I’m sorry. It must be really hard for you to lose him. He’s such a big brother. I remember the first time I met him. Wearing those sses made him look so different from you. But now, I realize that you really looked like him.”


    Hiro didn’t know how to respond to the girl. However, he knew that his heart felt a sense of relief. The tightness in his chest disappeared in an instant. His hand moved to caress Liberty’s hair gently. The girl was unable to hold back her tears.


    “No, it’s not your fault. You didn’t know about it. I should have told you about it from the beginning. I am the one who needed to me. I yelled at you and told you that your father was a murderer.”


    Hiro felt that it would be better not to say that to Liberty. After all, without what his father did, perhaps his meeting with Liberty would never have happened either. And he couldn’t brush off that fact.


    Liberty hugged Hiro tightly, and she pressed her ear to Hiro’s chest, hearing and feeling his heart beating with a gentle rhythm.


    “I didn’t have the courage to meet you. You know that I missed you very much, and I wanted to go see you immediately after the live broadcast, Hiro. I had many stories to share with you. However, every time I wanted to do it, I felt guilty, and I thought it was inappropriate for me to meet you empty-handed.”


    Hiro let the girl let out all her feelings into words. Her soft and sweet voiceforted Hiro, and he reflexively smiled. He hugged Liberty back, ignoring the people staring at them.


    “That’s why I went to look for the flower in the forest. A very rare flower, Lily of The Midnight. I read the encyclopedia and found interesting details about the flower.”


    Liberty pulled her body from Hiro’s embrace, then looked back at the man.


    “It said that Lily of The Midnight is a flower for the forgiving. The person who gives the flower to someone to apologize can see if that person is really sincere when she apologizes.”


    “What happens when the person sincerely asks for forgiveness?” Hiro asked curiously, one of his eyebrows arched.


    Liberty smiled, not answering. A beautiful smile that made Hiro hypnotized to kiss her lips gently.


    Ding!

    Hiro blinked in disbelief at what he was seeing.
