More than a year passed by.
At the main headquarters of the Sword of Sufferings, Lisa came out of the house. The girl looked more mature than before. He immediately went to the spacious courtyard to look for someone.
“Is the Chairman not there?”
Hearing Lisa's question, Draco, Leon, Darin, and thousands of troops shook their heads.
Urging in dissatisfaction, the girl heads to the office to meet Natasha, Abigail, Roxanne, and the people in charge of the task there to look for Ark. However, in the end they also shook their heads.
As if realizing something, Lisa immediately went to Jay's house.
“Is the Chairman here, Brother Jay?”
Hearing Lisa's question, Jay who was teasing her son with Mona shook her head. Chris and Lara who were laughing at the funny behavior of their granddaughter also shook their heads.
As if realizing something, Lisa went to the research site. If his conjecture was correct, the hateful man must have been researching new weapons and potions. Neglecting his piled up duties.
Once there, Lisa meets Frank's grandfather, Stein, and her sister. Looking at them, the girl looked confused.
“Is the Chairman not here? Not researching weapons or potions?”
“No!” Old Franky shook his head. “She is not here.”
Hearing that answer, Lisa fell silent for a moment. Searching here and there but unable to meet her, the girl began to feel suspicious.
Gnashing her teeth, Lisa finally went to the secret training ground. Once there, someone suddenly patted him from behind.
“What's up?”
“What the ..”
Lisa turned to look at Saito who suddenly appeared like a ghost with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Stripping her foot, the girl said.
“Where's the Chair?”
Hearing the question, Saito tilted his head.
Hearing that, Lisa was stunned. The girl then covered her face with a depressed expression.
“He really went to that place even though the work piled up like a hill. I really want to get angry, but can't do it!”
Looking at the emotion-looking Lisa, Saito shook his head lightly with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, in the former Mental Hospital that has been demolished and built as a resting place.
The figure of the little girl ran agilely. She wears a princess-like dress and wears a sapphire pendant around her neck. The little girl carried a large basket containing many colorful flowers. It looked a bit awkward as it was several times about to fall.
“Don't run, Eira.”
“WELL!”
Hearing a voice from behind her, little Eira replied with a smile on her face.
After a while, the little girl stopped under a giant rose tree the size of a house. On the tree, there were a lot of roses blooming, spreading their fragrance in all directions.
Under the tree, there were three gravestones that looked striking.
The little girl wiped off the sweat on her forehead while looking at the headstone with a smile on her face.
“Eira come to visit, Mama! Aunt Anya! Aunt Aisha!”
Seeing little Eira putting colorful flowers on top of each headstone and then starting to tell them her daily life, Ark who was standing not far behind the little girl smiled gently.
Gazing towards the three tombstones, a gentle expression appeared on Ark's face. Totally different from its usual cold appearance.
‘When we try to protect something, sometimes we also lose something. Passing all obstacles is not easy, even painful. However, we cannot stop here ..’
The wind gushed gently, blowing away thousands of red flower petals. Closing his eyes while trying to be grateful for what he had, a gentle smile appeared on Ark's face.
‘Again, life will go on.’
