"Comforting Words"

⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶.•°☆°•.⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶

Cor Hoshino was not adept at consoling others.

However, watching the teenager in front of her looking so lost, she feared he might suddenly burst into tears.

Please don't, she dreaded boys crying, even if the young man was a year younger than her younger brother.

Luckily, he didn't actually shed tears.

Perhaps realizing he had been neglecting his duties for too long, spending time here staring at her with big eyes instead of discussing military strategies at the encampment, he sighed lightly, picked up the katana stabbed in the grass, and prepared to leave.

"Sephiroth……" She finally called out to him, at the same time trying to recall every comforting word she had ever heard in her nearly 20 years of life.

Yet, she discovered that, to him, all the comforting words she had ever heard were like suggesting to someone starving and unable to afford plain noodles: "Let them eat Taiyaki."

Those uplifting and melodious words of comfort for everyone were, for him, shackles he desperately wanted to escape, yet were innate, acknowledging his powerlessness.

She watched the silver-haired youth turn around, his increasingly chiseled and defined face, his more and more broadening and strengthening shoulders, already burdened with greater responsibilities and weight than someone of his age and physique could bear.

"Anyway, you will live a long and healthy life until you become an old man and enjoy your retirement……"

She awkwardly, yet unhesitatingly, expressed her heartily wish.

Well, at this point, she felt she had been merciful to this enemy.

Showing kindness to an enemy as a Wutaian soldier deducted ten points from her merits.

However, as a confidante, she believed her merits for the day had already been achieved.

Therefore, she weaved one of her curly temples and prepared to turn around and leave in the opposite direction.

Out of the blue, she fell into a broad embrace……

Words of gratitude need not be spoken, but the world's mightiest "Hero" often expresses gratitude in his own way when pulled out of a vulnerable moment.

Reflexively, she hugged back, gently patting his back.

As if brushing away some of the cruelty and weight of war, and the awkward position of two people who were enemies yet cherished each other.
