A Magic to Melt A Heart (TinCan)

Chapter 36 - Sudden Confession

(unedited)

When Tin's father and Old Man Khang came back to Tin's room, the two were already awake and seemed to be lively. The other one was smiling while the other was blushing. It made Old Man Khang's mouth twitch. Do these two know how serious the problem that they have caused at all?

Sensing the presence of his father and Can's master, Tin returned to his normal serious expression and faced them. When Tin's eyes met his father's gaze, the two of them just nodded to one another. Even though Tin's father seemed to have changed after meeting Mrs. Phiravich for the last time, it did not mean that their father-and-son relationship would also easily change just like that. The two of them needed time to adjust, but they do not need to rush at all. As of now, they knew that they understood one another to a certain degree and that was good enough.

"How are you feeling?" Tri asked while still maintaining his serious expression.

"Better," Tin replied although he knew that his spiritual core was destroyed since he cannot feel any flow of spiritual energy throughout his body at all. Now he is what the society calls 'trash'. Without any power, he is no one. 

Looking at the situation, Tin knew more or less what happened. Still, he did not hesitate to ask his father what happened. Without wasting any time, his father retold only the information that was necessary for him to know.

"Can will try to retrieve the soul fire from the Beast Gods' Dimension in order to restore my spiritual core?" Tin looked at Can as he formed a fist with his hand as it shook with intensity. He did not want Can to suffer and to sacrifice himself for him. If only he was not weak, then this whole thing would not happen at all.

On the other hand, after learning what happened to Tin, Can was more determined to save him. It is now his turn to return the favor. He will sacrifice himself, even if there is a small chance of the soul fire actually existing. He will do it for Tin.

Old Man Khang nodded. "The Beast Gods' Dimension will open next week. This is the perfect opportunity for us to check whether the soul fire truly exists."

"I'll do it," Can said with a determined expression.

Tin wanted to stop Can, but he knew that the little beast summoner has already decided to go. There was no way to change his mind.

"As for the enemies who are involved in this case, we'll have to make sure to expose them where they would not be able to fight back," Old Man Khang continued as he rubbed his nose.

Taking the ancient scroll that contains the map of the Beast Gods' Dimension from his storage ring, Old Man Khang gestured his desciple to come with him to another room to talk about the place where the soul fire could be found. In any case, this kind of information is unnecessary for both Tri and Tin. The father and son seemed to also have something to discuss privately.

Before the two left the room, Can turned around to look at Tin.

"I'll do my best," Can said with a serious tone.

Tin smiled and said, "I know you will."

Can nodded and his expression relaxed a bit as he smiled. As long as Tin believes in him, he felt that he would be able to accomplish anything. He was more fired up than before.

As the two left to discuss their plan, the room became silent.

"How was your mother when you saw her?" Tri asked as he broke the silence.

"She was still the same. Cheerful, funny, and a loving mother," Tin said as a small smile was plastered on his face. There was a mixture of happiness and sadness in his smile.
