Chapter 508

Gakane often said that Yuder had shared his light with him, but the truth was that Yuder hadn't helped him out of any extraordinary benevolence. It was merely his first attempt to take a different path from his previous life, and the presence of past experiences and memories gave him a bit more certainty in his decision. That was all there was to it.

'And yet...'

Yuder glanced at his loosely held hand, collected his thoughts, and opened his mouth.

He wasn't gifted in offering comforting words, so he felt he should take another approach.

"Gakane, I didn't help you out of some grand intention, contrary to what you think."

"I know. To you, there's no great difference between helping Kanna and the others, and helping me."

"No, what I want to say is that my being strong and my personality are two different issues."

Yuder replied firmly, locking eyes with him.

"I'm someone who doesn't care what others say as long as it doesn't interfere with what I have to do. It's not because I'm strong; I've been like this even before my Awakening. I've suffered losses due to this trait, but it hasn't changed and probably never will." Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com

He had even faced execution due to this personality. A fact Gakane was likely unaware of.

"..."

"This isn't strength. It's just having an incredibly stubborn and unpleasant personality. If you were like me, I think it would be difficult for us to get along."

Gakane Bolunwald, being stubborn and having an unpleasant personality, was an unimaginable combination.

"You say you're embarrassed for not being of any help and about your past. But if we're measuring shame, shouldn't I be the more ashamed one? I nearly ruined the party's atmosphere, and one person even fainted and had to be carried away."

"That's not...

"Yet, I'm not particularly ashamed. I did what I wanted to do, and if I could go back, I would do it again."

Upon hearing Yuder's unsettlingly calm words, Gakane blinked a few times.

"Think about it. If you could go back in time to earlier, wouldn't you still come forward to help me, surrounded as I was?"

"..."

Gakane, who had said he was embarrassed for stepping in even though he knew Yuder could handle it himself, couldn't readily answer. Yuder felt a faint strength enter the fingers of the hand Gakane was holding and asked again.

"So, what will it be?"

"If I could go back to earlier, I think I would still step forward to help you. But... I wouldn't be as foolish as I was. Like that gentleman earlier, I would try to do it more... skillfully."

The words that finally came from Gakane were not unexpected for Yuder. He was a person of such nature: considerate, attentive, and in some ways, inexhaustibly persevering.

There was no need for someone already endowed with his own strengths to become just like Yuder.

Yuder nodded and the corners of his lips faintly rose.

"Good. Then do it like that next time."

"Next time?"

"It doesn't seem like these kinds of situations will end with this one event."

"Do you think I could step forward again, even after what happened today?"

Gakane remained silent for a while. When he finally spoke, there was a slight flush around his eyes.

"Does that mean you consider me a good friend as well, Yuder?"

Instead of replying, Yuder simply nodded.

Suddenly, a strange feeling crept in, oddly stirring his insides.

Back then, he had no idea that Gakane would become such an important and close comrade, nor did he foresee doing something he'd never done beforecomforting anotherfor the sake of Gakane, even after achieving his initial goal of saving him.

'I probably wouldn't have kept hearing such words in the first place.'

From the moment he decided to save Gakane right after coming back to life, up to now, many things had happened. Yuder had always been focused on the changes in others, but for the first time, he partially realized that there had been changes in himself too, excluding areas related to Kishiar.

Odd as it was, the feeling wasn't unpleasant.

"Gakane. I'm not good with words, so I don't know what to say, but I know one thing. Whatever happened today won't affect your growing skills or the things you'll be capable of doing in the future. Just remember that."

Whatever rumors Baron Durmand spread about Gakane, whether he was born into a fallen noble family or had tried to sell his honornone of it had any bearing on what he had achieved so far. The future would be no different.

"Understood. Thank you."

With Gakane's brief response, the conversation came to an end.
