Grimm uses all of her strength to tell Mashiro about her past.

-That's my past. It's the past which was painted with blood. (Grimm)

Mashiro nods.

-I...understand. (Mashiro)

Grimm closes her eyes to avoid looking directly. Grimm is too scared to look at Mashiro directly now. She expects Mashiro will look at her with hatred eyes.

-You...know. (Mashiro)

Unlike what Grimm imagined, Mashiro came close to her side and hugged her.

-You...can't...change...the...past. (Mashiro)

-But I... (Grimm)

Tears come out from the eyes of Grimm again.

-You...can't...forget...it. Since...past...a...part...you. (Mashiro)

-But what can I do? I don't have enough courage to confront it. (Grimm)

Mashiro lightly pushes Grimm out. She smiles at Grimm to ease her uneasiness.

-Are...you...sure? (Mashiro)

-What do you mean? (Grimm)

Mashiro holds her breath and tries to express what she wants to say to Grimm.

-If...you only want to...run...away from your past, you...would never tell me about your past. (Mashiro)

-I... (Grimm)

Grimm lowers her head and thinks about what Mashiro said.

-You are right... (Grimm)

The image of the first time she met her new master in human form once appeared in her head. Even their appearances are different, they still carry the same caring atmosphere.

And the moment her new master gave her the name "Grimm", she felt so happy about it. She places her hand on the chest and thinks about it.

-It may be a coincidence, but she has the same name as her first master. (Grimm)

The name also gives her a sense of security since it feels like her new master recognizes her existence.

-I want someone to accept me as I am, but not some kind of tool. (Grimm)

Grimm's face darkened as she remembered what that man had done to her in those years.

-But what can I do to redeem all the mistakes? (Grimm)

Grimm becomes shy and turns to look at Mashiro again. She was embarrassed, since she had shown Mashiro her weak self. And now, she even seeks advice from Mashiro.

-You...knows...the...answer. (Mashiro)

Grimm tilts her head.

-Me? (Grimm)

Mashiro nods.

-Confront...the...past...and...aim...toward...future. (Mashiro)

-... (Grimm)

Grimm knew she couldn't change the thing that I had done in the past. For all lives she had taken so far, the only way to overcome it was to save even more lives. Grimm inhales and exhales deeply.

-I will no longer run away. (Grimm)

Grimm can no longer look away from her past. Now she has taken a step toward the future.

-Are you here, Grimm? Mashiro? Anyone? (Farah)

At the same time, she could hear a voice come from below her.

-It...seems...someone...looking for you. (Mashiro)

Grimm nods and asks Mashiro to show her the way. So she can meet the owner of the voice to take one step forward in her future.

Farah's POV

You are reading story Faraway Survivor at novel35.com

I am so worried that Grimm ran into the forest alone. I have no choice but to follow her.

Hana, who stands by my side, sneers.

-That girl isn't worth your effort, master. (Hana)

-Moh, Hana! She is not a bad girl, you know? (Farah)

Hana immediately denies it.

-I am not talking about her behaviour, master. (Hana)

-Then what are you talking about? (Farah)

-I can feel a hint of madness deep inside that girl. I feel like something is burying it and sealing it from coming out. (Hana)

Hana continues.

-Do you remember the black monster we fought along with Hina, master? (Hana)

-Yes? (Farah)

Hana tells me in a serious tone.

-They have the same smell, master. (Hana)

-Eh? (Farah)

-Terrible madness comes along with destructive power. That girl is like a timed bomb for me. (Hana)

-... (Farah)

-I know my master is the kindest person in the world. (Hana)

Hana stares me in my eyes.

-But once that girl becomes like that monster, do you have the courage to kill her? (Hana)

I bite my lips while thinking about Hana's question.

-There is always a price for everything, master. (Hana)

What Hana said may be the truth, but I won't accept it. I answer Hana with determination.

-I will save everyone! (Farah)

-But what cost? (Hana)

I can see Hana become angry at me.

-You almost kill yourself by saving a snake goddess that you never knew, master. Do you think everyone will be happy to be saved at the cost of your life? (Hana)

In the last fight, I was too naive to fall for a trick like that. Everyone would be sad if I died.

-... (Farah)

-Do you understand, master? You can't save everyone. (Hana)

I shake my head.

-No, Hana. I can do it. (Farah)

Hana glares coldly at me. I am scared at the current Hana, but I can't back down now.

-I will save everyone and even me. So you guys don't have to worry about my safety anymore. (Farah)

Hana slowly walks to my side.

-A naive answer, as always, master. (Hana)

I thought Hana would scold me again. However, I can feel her soft hand on my head.

-Your naive part is one thing that makes me fall in love with you, master. (Hana)

Hana bends down.

-But you must know one thing, master. Even if this universe was destroyed and other people died. (Hana)

Hana kisses me lightly on the lips.

-I don't care about that. Screw the universe and screw everyone else. Because I only need you, my dear master. (Hana)
