Chapter 26: Chapter 26
Hyogo: "Didn't expect you to come and visit me. What's the matter, did you need me for something ."
Zeke: "Stop messing around, I'm sure you know why I came here. I came to see that you aren't doing anything to bother the village."
Hyogo: "I see it must be tough protecting a village from other people involved in the war. Especially when you're being forced to, I pity you."
Zeke: Furrowed his eyebrows after hearing Hyogo. "What are you talking about? I protect the village because I love the people here."
Hyogo: "Oh don't get me wrong I'm sure you love the people here that you don't consider it a burden to protect them. I'm saying that you're not protecting them from people like me that are in the war because you hate all of us. I'm sure you are wary of us but not to a strong extent. What I mean is that it must suck being lied to when you admired that group. You met them at the capitol didn't you or at least on the way there. From what your sister told me about you before she left this is the conclusion I came to. You met the ones you looked up to when they came to your village years ago at the capital or at least on your way to it. They must have treated you differently, didn't they? After all, they didn't need to be nice to you anymore because they had no use for you anymore like they did back then. When they came I bet they were all kind smiles in your hospitality. While they rested and just left and you thought they were admirable fighting for something they wished for. You faced the reality when you met them again. That they were just using you for what you were worth at the time. I bet they treated you coldly when you met them again. After all that's how a lot of the people from the war are two sided doing whatever they need to win this war. Oh excuse me maybe I went too far once I start rambling I usually can't stop. But let's get back on track shall we. It must stress you that I'm at your village right since I can guess that they forced you to make sure others didn't occupy this area by threatening to hurt the people in the village. People from the war sure do love to have territory under their control for whenever they need it."
Zeke couldn't say anything back; he just stood there with his head down clenching his fist.
Zeke: "If you know so much why didn't you leave. Do you want to kill us by staying here when there's a chance they might come back during your stay."
Hyogo: "I don't want any of you to die but I can't exactly leave yet with my arms like this. I have to wait until they get healed because it would be dangerous for me to leave without being in top shape. If I cross paths with another person of the war I might get taken out as an easy target and I wouldn't want that. But once I do get it healed I'll leave immediately."
Zeke: "Good until then stay out of trouble and don't go near the other villagers, it will just make them more anxious."
Hyogo: "Understood."
Zeke: "I'll be leaving now."
Zeke steps outside the storage but before he gets to close the door Hyogo calls out to him.
Hyogo: "Hey, is it true that admiration easily turns into hate? I'm curious if what they say is true."
Zeke: "I'm sure it is for some but at the time it happened to me I didn't feel much hatred I felt more confused and scared more than anything else. But in the end I did feel hate but it wasn't at them but at myself for believing everything they had said to me as a child without having seen proof if it was true. Blindly trusting someone is something I'll never do again."
Hyogo: " I see, by the way do you look up to God."
Zeke gives Hyogo a cold stare when he hears his question.
Zeke: "No, what's there to look up to when he doesn't do anything only fools look up to him."
Hyogo: "I see that's a shame after all God wouldn't betray and lie to you. He's worthy of respect if you ask me."
Zeke: "Sure keep staying delusional and leave me out of it."
Hyogo: "That's a shame."
Zeke closes the door and leaves.
