Chapter:29
"Aramiya-kun, are you alright? What happened?"
Shigeru and Akiko Ryuu up, they didn't understand what was happening with Ryuu.
(What is happening? What happened to Aramiya-kun suddenly, i did noticed that something was not quite right before.
And of all, w-what is this strange flame on his forehead?)
Shigeru was worried about Ryuu. Ryuu was screaming loudly in pain and agony. It was painful for both Shigeru and Akiko to witness Ryuu in such pain.
"Akiko! Carry Aramiya-kun on your back, we have to get out of these cave as soon as possible."
Akiko carried Ryuu on her back, tears were flowing down from Ryuu's eyes.
"Aramiya-kun!! Stay strong, we will get out of the cave very soon."
Akiko tried to comfort Ryuu, they were dashing to the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, a voice came in Ryuu's mind.
"Stay strong, for me and for you..."
(W-what was that sound, w-why does it feel so familiar.)
Ryuu was deep in thoughts. He didn't know what was that voice that came to his mind. Suddenly a name came out of his mouth.
"R-ryoko-san..."
Shigeru and Akiko heard him mumbling. Suddenly Ryuu lost his consciousness.
Shigeru and Akiko became more worried about him.
"Honey, what did he just said?"
Akiko asked Shigeru
"It was the name of that mysterious yet powerful girl i told you about.
I had realized that there was some strange bond between the two of them. I had never felt a connection like that before.
Maybe, she can help Aramiya-kun to get better."
"So we should head to the training area as soon as possible"
They were near the entrance of the cave, suddenly the walls of the cave started to shake. The ground started to tremble.
Shigeru and Akiko were shocked.
"Akiko!! Come here."
Shigeru hold Akiko and pulled her and Ryuu towards him.
"H-honey! What is happening? Why does the wall of the cave suddenly started to shake.
This has never happened before."
Akiko was baffled.
"I don't know myself, this has never happened before when we came to the cave alone.
We should get out of the cave first or we will get stuck in the cave.
They were at the entrance of the cave, Akiko used her wind magic and all three of them got out of the cave.
The cave started to shatter and collapsed.
The flowing water of the waterfall covered the mysterious cave and the mysterious cave suddenly started to disappear.
Shigeru and Akiko were shocked, the mysterious cave which appeared ten years ago suddenly disappeared.
"Akiko, we can't stay here now, we have to reach the training area soon. I can feel it, Aramiya-kun's condition is becoming more futile"...
In the training area, Ryoko was sweating all over.
"R-ryuu-kun!! Ryuu-kun is in danger."
She stood up immediately. Masumi, who was sitting next to her was stunned by her sudden action.
"Ryoko-san!! What happened, do you have a fever? You're sweating heavily."
Masumi was worried about Ryoko, she touched her forehead to check her temperature.
"Masumi-san, i have to go!! Ryuu-kun is in danger."
Masumi was confused, Ryuu was at the mountain since the starting of the training session. So how could she tell that he was in danger.
Ryoko suddenly ran towards the mountain.
Masumi just saw her going from behind. She was worried about her.
Suddenly a voice came from her behind.
"Masumi-san!! Why are you standing there alone? Where is Ryoko-san, wasn't she with you?"
Seichii was standing there holding two cups of water. He could see worry in Masumi's eyes.
Masumi ran towards him and tears started to flow down her eyes, Seichii was startled by her sudden outburst.
"S-seichii-kun! Ryoko-san and i were sitting on the bench, staring at the sky. Suddenly Ryoko-san stood up. She was sweating heavily.
I got worried about her and asked what happened, but she just replied that Aramiya-kun was in danger.
The next moment she was gone. I haven't seen her like that before, it was so scary."
Seichii was stunned, the cups he was holding fell on the ground.
"R-ryuu is in danger? M-masumi-san, what are you saying?"
Seichii hold her arms tightly. She got startled.
"M-masumi-san, w-where did R-ryoko-san went. We need to follow her. We need to save Ryuu.
TELL ME WHERE DID SHE WENT!!"
Seichii suddenly snapped and started shaking Masumi tightly. It was hurting her.
"S-SEICHII-KUN!! I-IT HURTS PLEASE STOP"
Seichii realized what he was doing and loosened his grip.
"M-masumi san, I apologize for my harsh behaviour. But can you please tell me where Ryoko-san went. If she is saying then Ryuu is definitely in a huge danger.
I need to go help Ryuu, please tell me where she went."
Seichii broke down into tears. Masumi was shocked. She had never seen Seichii like this before, he was always smiling and was a cheerful person.
It was the first time that she saw an other side of Seichii. She was a little happy to know more about him, but she couldn't see him in this state.
"R-ryoko-san went towards the m-mountain on which Aramiya-kun went for his speacial training."
"Thankyou Masumi-san!!"
Masumi replied to him, Seichii suddenly started dash towards the mountain.
Masumi called out to him from behind.
"Seichii-kun wait!! I-i will come with you too. Aramiya-kun, is my friend too"
Seichii was happy to hear her. He came towards her.
"Masumi-san, I'm very happy that you started to open up to us and started thinking of us as your friends."
She took Masumi up and hold her in princess style. She was startled by him, her face was fully red.
"S-seichii-kun! W-what are you doing? I-i can walk by meyself."
Fumes were coming out of her head, Seichii was dumb founded. He couldn't understand why her face was becoming red.
"Masumi-san, I know that despite not being very physically strong. You want to help us out on your own strength.
But don't worry, i will carry you to the mountain. We can reach there quickly like this."
Masumi was embarrassed, but she felt a little happy in her heart.
(Ryuu, I'm coming! Last time you jumped in to save me from the demon but this time i will save you.
Just wait!)
Seichii used his wind magic and dashed towards the mountain....
