When treating Miran’s wound, he said. "I actually really want to help you guys in the battle area... But when Billy said that my job is here and he forbid me to go there, then I have to really work to the maximum when you need my help here."
"But don't push yourself too hard, Otto." Miran said in a low tone, because he was still feeling weak.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Just Worry about your body condition Miran."
Meanwhile in one of a room, Ryuji seemed to be standing facing a patient bed, on the bed there was Billy who was in lying condition, and he still hadn't woken up after being defeated by Jefirros.
While looking at Billy, Ryuji said. "Hmm ...Now you're the one lying there. I'm sorry, Billy... Even though we managed to destroy the Sword of Freedom group, Jefirros still managed to escape and even he already has the power of a Demon King."
Then Ryuji looked down for a moment because he felt disappointed. And he looked back at Billy while saying. "Now what do we have to do? We're all waiting for your decision... Get well soon, Billy." Ryuji said.
Meanwhile in another place, or rather in Alex's house front yard. That night, on orders from Ryuji, Alex decided to go home, so his mother wouldn't worry. Then after standing for a long time in front of the door, Alex immediately entered and walked to his room.
As he passed the living room, he saw his mother watching television while eating snacks. And seeing that, Alex couldn't help but sigh, then he continued walking up the stairs.
However, his mother, who noticed Alex's arrival, immediately looked back and stood up, she walked over to him.
She said, "Alex, you have come home? ... Henry said you'd be staying at his house again tonight. Hey, why don't you ever answer mom's phone calls?"
But Alex ignoring his mother's words, he continued to walk up the stairs, with a gloomy expression on his face.
"Hey Alex! Answer me!"
And suddenly Alex turned around while screaming. "What do you care about me??! You don't need to know about my business! Mind your own business and everything about your workplace!" said Alex.
Then as he walked away, Alex opened and closed the door to his room quite hard.
So after seeing this, Alex's mother suddenly felt shocked, so she could only be silent with a dumbfounded expression on her face. And she start crying.
"A- Alex...."
After two days of not seeing each other, Alex's mother did not expect that suddenly her son would come home while feeling gloomy, plus Alex surprisingly yelled at her. So that finally the mother was in tears, and she could only crouch while covering her face, because she realized that all this time, her attention to Alex had always been lacking, and surely there was currently a problem faced by Alex but she as a parent could not attend to help her son. Therefore the mother felt very sad and sorry for everything she not did to Alex. And all she could do now was cry as loud as she could, while covering her face, so that Alex wouldn't hear her cries.
While upstairs, or rather in Alex's room, at this time Alex was also crying over his regrets towards the wind faction group, also towards Ren, as well as the attitude he had given to his mother.
That night became a night full of sorrow for all parties, both from the enemy side, and the Wind Faction group, especially also for Alex and his mother. The sadness and regret they experience may not be able to heal quickly, but they must remain strong so they can live the tomorrow, and solve the various problems that are happening.
Long story short, the next day, Alex woke up when he heard a knock on his bedroom door, then with a sleepy face, he got up and sat on his bed. At the same time, he heard his mother's voice speaking from outside.
"Alex, are you awake?"
Then Alex answered curtly. "Yes."
After that, his mother started to open the door and she came into Alex's room carrying a tray of breakfast. Without saying much, Alex's mother put the tray on the study table, then she immediately sat down next to Alex, because there seemed to be something to talk about between the both of them as mother and son.
"Alex, I want to apologize to you."
"No need mom, I should be the one apologizing for yelling at you yesterday night." Alex replied.
"I really deserve that, because I realize that all this time I have never paid more attention to you ... I am too busy working and never even invites you to chat or listening to your problem."
"It's okay mom, I don't mind about it anymore."
"But I still want to apologize to you Alex."
"All right, I forgive you mom."
"Hmm."
The mother smiled, after which she continued to say. "Oh yeah, how about tomorrow we go to the mall to do some shopping? It's been a long time since I took you shopping."
"N- no, i won't ... Right now I'm not in the mood to go anywhere."
"Alright then, now i have something to ask you... Alex, did something happen to you at school?" asked the mother.
"N- no, I'm fine mom."
"Hmm, tomorrow i will come to your school to ask the teachers about the problem you are currently facing." Said the mother.
"Don't mom! I told you I'm fine... Please don't come to school. I'm serious!" Alex said in a slightly snarled tone.
"O- okay I understand, but from now on if there's something you want to tell me or if you're having a problem, please tell me about it"
"Yes, of course."
"Now, is there anything you need?"
"No mom."
"Anyway, What do you want to buy when i gets home from work?"
"No mom, i don't need anything for now."
"If there's anything I can help you with..."
But before the mother could finish her sentence, Alex said. "I'm fine mom, period."
After hearing Alex's words, then the mother sighed and she answered.
"Hmm, fine... Then now i will going to work, if you don't feel like going to school yet, then you can stay at home, but don't wander around."
"Y-yes." Alex replied.
