"Mashiro !!", Kay shouted as Mashiro ran away while holding his watch.
ROARS!!
Suddenly a wolf came towards them, it looked very hungry and ferocious. The wolf seems to have been possessed, infected by the lesser cell.
"Lesser cell!!", said Kay in his mind. "Why now?"
Mashiro stopped and was shocked to see the wolf, she slowly backed away.
"Mashiro, don't move", said Kay as he slowly walks towards her. "Just stay there and let me handle it."
But Mashiro started to get scared when the wolf started to approach her and without hesitation, Mashiro tried to run towards Kay, only causing the wolf to start to pounce on her.
ROARS!!
"Lightning Element, Time Zero..."
Time seemed to pause, no, it was moving very slowly, too slow for the others to match Kay and enough time for him to reach Mashiro.
He grabs Mashiro and activates his element, flowing at his fist and starts to punch the lesser cell.
BAPP!!
He then draws the unnamed sword followed up by a single slash which killed the lesser cell in one swing.
SLASH!
"Hahh...seems liked that still more of them", said Kay in his mind. "Even though I already make sure I cleaned all of them to make sure this place safe."
"I know what I'm missing here...a barrier..."
Kay sees Mashiro who is still scared, Kay embraces her and takes back his watch. He then activates his element, taking them to another place. The throne, garden of miracle.
"Are you alright, Mashiro?", asked Kay while pets her head.
"Mashiro... alright... Mashiro... sorry", said Mashiro, feels guilty.
Mashiro opened her eyes and saw how beautiful the garden was. She had never seen such beauty, her eyes sparkled, and all fears continued to disappear.
"Mashiro... beautiful...", said Mashiro as she runs towards the garden.
Kay sighed and continued to head towards Mashiro and hold her hand, telling her to listen to what he wanted to say.
"Listen to me, Mashiro", Kay asked. "I will never leave you, but it doesn't mean I will be forever with you."
"Sometimes, we must sacrifice something, for our own good as well. I still have unfinished duties that need to be done."
"I may go for quite some time, but I promise to come back here."
"As long as Mashiro is patiently waiting for me to come back here."
"Will you promise me that you will behave and take care of yourself, Mashiro?"
Mashiro reluctantly nodded her head at Kay, having to agree that Kay would leave her for a period that Mashiro wasn't even sure how long.
"Mashiro... promise... Mashiro... will... wait", said Mashiro.
Mashiro suddenly uses the power of the siren and makes the sword held by Kay float.
"What are you doing, Mashiro?", asked Kay, shocked.
She then gives some of her power and fuses with the sword. The sword changed shape and emitted an aura very different from Kay's. It's very cold.
The unnamed sword now has its own name, Blade of Frost.
"Mashiro... present...", said Mashiro while giving the blade of frost to Kay. "Mashiro... will... wait..."
"I see, then I have something for you too, Mashiro", Kay said. "The Guardian Sword, the sword that will protect this island. As long as the guardian sword is here, nothing will hurt you. "
"Now, be a good girl and take care of yourself..."

Sakura Empire, there are a number of children waiting for someone to come home. Bel-chan, Eugen-chan, Taihou-chan, Zuikaku-chan and Enty-chan are waiting for Kay to return at the port. It's been almost two weeks since Kay left the Sakura Empire, and many are starting to worry because they haven't heard from him yet.
"Nii-nii won't come back here again, right?", Eugen-chan asked.
"Papa will return home!", shouted Enty-chan angrily.
"Master-sam will return home! He never forgets about us!", shouted Bel-chan angrily.
"But it's been too long", said Zuikaku-chan. "Did something to him?"
The five of them were silent for a moment, the sun was about to set, and Kay still had not returned. Seeing that they refused to be scolded by Amagi for coming home late, they continued to prepare to return to their room.
However, before they could move, they heard a voice they knew very well.
"You shouldn't be here at this time, little one. Return to your room quickly before Amagi finds you..."
They looked at the voice and saw Kay heading towards them. Without wasting any time, they continued to run towards Kay and embraced him.
"Papa, you finally come home!!", shouted Enty-chan. "We missed you!"
"Welcome back, Master-sama", said Bel-chan happily. "We are happy to see you again."
"Ah... heavy", said Kay. "Can you stop jumping on my back, Eugen."
"Welcome back, Nii-nii", said Eugen-chan happily.
Kay smiled for a moment and pets Zuikaku and Taihou. He then, immediately goes to the sacred tree of Sakura Empire.
At the sacred tree, Amagi was there, waiting for Kay to return. When she saw some children still here, she tried to scold them. However, Amagi stopped when she saw Kay walking toward her.
"Long time no see, Amagi", said Kay. "It's been a while, isn't?"
"Yes...welcome back, Kay", said Amagi as she holds Kay's hands. "Welcome home."
The children who were still here surrounded Kay after seeing him, telling him to them some stories. Amagi tries to scold them and ask them to leave Kay alone because he just returned. But Kay doesn't mind at all.
He went to the sacred tree that was still growing and leaned on it.
"Let see...what kind of story, you want to hear", said Kay.
.......................
.......................
.......................
Liked a little memory, a sweet memory, a feint memory for these children. There are some little children are running happily towards Kay. He is currently leaned in front of the sacred tree, looking and staring at the tree that kind of normal and nothing extraordinary.
They are swarming at Kay, asking him to tell them a story. Someone can say this situation is kind of uncomfortable. However, Kay doesn't care about it.
"Master-sama! Master-sama! Please tell us a story! Master-sama!!", shouted Bel-chan
"Nii-sama! Nii-sama! Tell me a story! Tell me a story!", shouted Taihou-chan.
"....Can you play with us today, Nii-nii?', asked Eugen-chan.
"Nii-chan! Tell us a story! Hurry up, nii-chan!!", shouted Zuikaku-chan.
These little girls are surround him, asking him a favor. Either telling them a story or play some games with them. They are still kids, of course they are in high spirits, compared to that hooded man.
"Alright....alright....", said Kay calmly. "Everyone sits down, and I will tell you a story".
One of the little girls sits on his lap, making some of the little girls feeling jealous. They are asking her to get up, but she has a stone heart.
"You again!! It's always you that manage to sit on nii-sama's lap", said one of the little girls. "I want to sit too. It's very unfair!".
"Hehehe...first serve, first come", said Enty-chan.
"Ano...I think Master-sama is...is feeling very uncomfortable when you sit on his lap", said the little maid.
The energetic girl staring at the Kay, looking with cute eyes, begging for him to allow her to sit on his lap.
"I don't mind", said Kay. "You can..."
Before Kay manages to finish his sentences, the energetic girl hugs him. Shouting and thanking for his kindness.
"Yay...thank you, papa!!!", shouted the energetic girl.
"..........................."
Kay becomes quiet for a moment. After all, his realizes that nickname making him feels uneasy. Most of the little girls always called him 'big brother' or somewhat liked that. Only this energetic girl called him 'father'. Yet, he doesn't object it and accepted that calling. They are still young and pure, that's in his minds when thinking about these little girls.
Kay starts his story, mostly about his journey and experiences. All the girls who with him are listening to his stories happily.
And, the time past and goes on.
