(A/N : Hey! It's me! Author-san! I missed a weekly upload because of course (My laziness is agonizingly annoying), and I was busy getting ready for the 'big' school trip (It was mid)

I returned the day before yesterday and slept for like 30 hours

And now I'm sick. Just what I fucking needed

And because of that, this is only half the length of a normal chapter

Hopefully I'll have the other half out in a few days

Fuuuuuuuck)

(3rd Person Perspective)

The sun shone brightly, it's rays of light raining down on the earth, as a cold wind ruffled the leaves of the trees

*Tap* *Tap*

The sound of footsteps echoed, as a platinum haired girl with crimson red eyes advanced forwards, filled with determination

An inexplicable silence fell upon the place, as the ogres were waiting with baited breath for what would happen next

"You people, do you even know what you are doing?" A cold voice reverberated through their eardrums, causing them to freeze on the spot

"Do you know why you are doing this?  Why are you angry? And why are you directing that anger at us?" the girl said, causing the ogres to be left at a loss for words. Especially the red haired one

The red haired one snarled, frowning his eyebrows deeply

How dare this despicable majin, who knows nothing of the pain they went through, try to lecture them

Seething with rage, his fear was overpowered by his sheer anger, causing him to put force on his knees, dashing towards the girl with platinum hair, with a hint of freshwater, a few violet purple strands peeking out from her dense locks

Before the red haired ogre even had a chance to notice, the clang of swords clashing together entered his ears, as something left his hands

His sword flew through the air, lodging itself in the bark of a tree in the distance

The red haired's eyes widened as he looked at his hands

But before he could even realize what was going on, a familiar voice echoed in his ears

"I've told you time and time again to not get swallowed up by anger. I wonder if your habit of discarding any advice given to you by your elders was inherited from me"

In an instant, the red haired ogre looked upwards, coming face to face with with deep crimson eyes, the same as his

His eyes widened even more that before, as he almost couldn't believe what he was seeing

"...Father" he mumbled in sheer shock

The other ogres behind him were just as surprised, mouths agape

Before the old Chief of the ogres had any chance to say anything, the red haired one spoke up

"Why did you just stop my strike?" The ogre hissed

The Chief of the ogres seemed a little hurt about the fact that the first thing his son did after their reunion is to suspect him

Sighing, the Chief looked at his son while shaking his head

"Put two and two together will you? How am I standing here in front of you right now?"

Something seemed to click within the red haired ogre
