VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"Miu! Don't run around on your own!"

"Muuuu~!"

"And you! How can you play around with her when you're supposed to stop her!"

"Chirp…"

"Haaa. That's right Miss Sera. They are a headache!"

It was difficult for her to understand what he was asking when he asked her if she wanted to come with them. But, then she looked at her mom, and the look she had was a familiar look that she had seen before.

She could tell it was time for them to leave as well.

"She's working hard."

"I've never seen her that happy at the moment of departure."

They had not stayed in the same place for as long as they had stayed in this town.

They had always traveled… from one town to another, from one village to the other, from one city to the next and from one kingdom to the other state.

As long as she could remember, in her fifteen years of life, she had moved places more than twenty times.

They did not stay in the same state for more than a few months, sometimes, if the place they were staying at was small, they only stayed there for a fortnight or a month.

She knew they did not have a set home for some reason, and her mother had always told her how it had something to do with her past.

She never said too much, but the smart daughter knew it was not easy for her to talk about her past, about her father, about why they don't stay in the same place, and why she was so different from the other children.

"Madam Rin. Do not worry at all. We will maintain this place for you so that you can come back here whenever you want to."

"I'm thankful for your help, Lord Mayor, guard captain."

Growing up, she had accepted the fact that they might never stay in the same place for long enough to call it a home, so the young girl never made any friends.

She was a soft hearted, friendly child, yet she did not make any friends and stayed detached from most of the things.

She lived by herself, helping her mom who was doing everything for their sake, and found happiness in things that weren't for the children.

She grew up learning a lot of things from her and the people around her.

But then… when they came to this town, they met a person that somehow understood the specialness of the young child.

"Take care of her."

"Fancy coming from you, Connie."

Librarian knew at a glance how special this child was more than the rest of the children. And he also knew the circumstances of the mother of this pitiful child.

"Since when do you care about children? Or is it because she is special?"

He could not offer them much, but he offered to teach the young girl whenever he had the chance if she stayed here.

He was also someone well known for his neutrality so Miss Rin knew she would not have to worry about this person.

If he was offering them something that she had never been able to provide to her child, she would have been cruel to reject that genuine offer.

She had already become a bad mother to her child, so she did not want to rob that child of this special opportunity as well.

"Rinny! I know you were planning to sneak away without telling us! How could you do that!"

"People come and go in our lives. But those who we have been with at least deserve a proper send off."

"You will have people you can be with going forward, we can see that, but you should at least thank us for looking after you two all these years!"

Elders of the town, her neighbors, the people that had become her regulars… all the people that she was going to leave behind in the Moongold, even the mayor and the guard captain that she had not been close with… she did not tell any of them, but as they were leaving, all of them had gathered to send her off.

And she did not know what to feel about this.

"Yes… I'm sorry… I don't know how to-."

"You ungrateful woman. Don't be all emotional now."

They all knew the two that they were going with. And, they already knew the two will leave one day.

She had told them how she liked to move around, they had heard from the young girl multiple times how they had been to many places all this time.

She was not Nomadic through her choice. She had her circumstances, they all knew that much.

Yet, somehow, they spent years together.

She became a part of their lives, and they became a little part of their lives.

For them, she was more than a good neighbor. She was a good person that rarely came around.

All of them including the child and her mother thought they could make this place a home, but that was never an option.

Even with all these people looking after her, even with the Librarian being there, now that she had exposed her powers, it was not possible to stay in this place anymore.

She would only put the people around her in danger. And she did not want that.

"Haaa… sister! They are teasing me!"

"They are just playing dear~. Wait for your big brother~. When he is done with his prayers, they will stop on their own~!"

They were on the edge of the town, in the graveyard, to offer their last prayers to the people who departed before them, people that the four of them somehow knew as well.

Elio was still offering his prayers and his thanks to all those that he had met and lost in this town, including the family of his little gecko friend.

They were waiting for him, and when he was done, they would depart.

"Miu~!"

"Muuuuu!"

"Chirp…"

"Yes… they are a headache."

Misha was leaving the place that had almost made home in her heart.

She did not know if she would ever come back, or if these people and this place that she knew would still be here when she does come back in the future.

But, she was not leaving this house alone this time.

"Did you teach her anything useful Connie?"

"Sadly, no. All she knows is how to erase her presence. Her Mana channels aren't open yet so most of her powers haven't bloomed yet.

I was hoping it naturally happens and so that I can officially take her in as a disciple. But, it seems like that won't be possible anymore."

There were people here sending them off.

There was a house of hers that might still be here when she comes back.

She was not alone this time either.

She was leaving with her special friends and big brother and sister.

"Alex, Miss Rin. I'm done."

There were people here that would remember her, remember them.

She did not want anything more than that, actually.

Just this much was more than enough for her.

"That's why… Please look after her when she understands the kind of powers she possesses."

He did not want this child to suffer more than she already had.

Not because of her amazing powers. Especially not because of her beautiful potential.

"Both of them deserve happiness."

They were taking them on a difficult journey.

Both of them will be Elio and Alex's responsibilities going forward.

So, at least as someone who had crossed paths with these two unique people, he wanted them to find happiness wherever they go.

"Don't worry."

And Elio wanted the same.

"We will look after them."

So, Alex will have to do her best to keep all her companions safe going forward.
