Event Story – Other Side Heroes -Good Bye- ch.15

[kozvme]

 

Gast: The place's a mess.

Akira: Right...
But anyway! Leave those guys be for now, okay? I know we gotta do something about them, but this ain't the timeー

Gast: I know. Besides, I wasn't planning to.
I was just... thinking that I probably can't come to play darts or eat bagel sandwiches anymore.

Akira: What's the somber face for?
Shouldn't it make you happy you got to eat it yesterday? It's not... like this is gonna be your last time, but you got to have it before all this happened.

Gast: ... I guess.

Oscar: Akira.
You did great earlier.

Akira: Wh... What's gotten into you, Oscar?

Oscar: Nothing. I thought I should tell you right now.
I felt like you didn’t fully understand it since you've been sulking a lot, but considering what happened yesterday, you've taken yet another step forward.

Akira: ......

Oscar: You're growing into an admirable hero. I can say that with confidence.

Akira: T- That so...
Ghaaaaaa! Not now! You can't say that right now!

Oscar: No?

Gast: ......

Victor: Gast.



Gast: Doctor... My bad, should I come back?

Victor: No, there is not much left to do right now, so it's okay.
I came to inform you that I shall head back first.

Gast: ? Alright...

Victor: A hero involved in the explosion has been taken back to the tower, so Nova contacted me asking if we could check on him together.

Akira: !! That's Sage, right? How is he?

Victor: He seems to be in a stable condition. There are no obvious wounds, either... He is simply asleep and won't wake up.
Nova said he is in a temporary state of shock. However, for the sake of regularity, we will be checking whether he was affected by a substance.

Akira: I see... Take care of Sage, then.

Victor: Fufu, of course, I shall put all my effort into it. Now, please excuse me.

Oscar: A state of shock, huh...

Akira: What the heck happened on that bridge...?



Oscar: Victor-san.

Victor: ...? Is something the matter?

Oscar: No, well... sorry to bother you when you're in a hurry. It's just that, I wanted to thank you again for the other day.

Victor: I see...
Are you feeling better? As far as I can see from your expression, you got what you needed out of your system.

Oscar: Yes, that's right. I found my answer or... it may be more correct to say that it was all just groundless fears.

Victor: Hoh...

Oscar: Akira figured things out for himself without me doing anything. He has matured yet again.

Victor: I am delighted to hear that. As his mentor, you must be very proud.

Oscar: Yes...
Gast is also keeping an eye on Akira, he definitely is having a positive impact on him.

Victor: Gast?
