Chapter 581: , Aponia
Back when the Ice Herrscher was blasted to death by Bai Ge and Kalpas.
Kalpas, whose village was destroyed and who lost his place to stay, became a wanderer. He didn't know where he was going, just simply walking on and on.
Eventually, he walked an unknown distance.
Kalpas arrived at this place called Dusk Street.
At that time, the exhausted Kalpas was sitting by the street, and then he was discovered by the children of Aponia's nursing home. Perhaps because of the Tiga mask on his face, the children not only weren't afraid of him but even took the initiative to talk to him.
Kalpas, who had nowhere else to go, was taken in by the nursing home and became a porter... as well as a gatekeeper and bodyguard.
Thus, after a long journey, he found a new place to stay. However, the peace didn't last long.
At this moment!
Kalpas had to face the torture called 'loss' once again.
"A! Po! Ni! A!"
Inside the nursing home, the furious Kalpas roared at the nun in front of him, as if he would rise up and kill someone in the next second.
But Aponia didn't have any fear, and didn't even have much emotional fluctuation. The nun looked at Kalpas as if she were looking at a child throwing a tantrum.
"Kalpas, 【please】 calm down."
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down! Tsk!"
Kalpas clicked his tongue unhappily. Aponia's words had an incredible power that could make people subconsciously obey, which indeed weakened his fire of anger a bit.
But this instead made Kalpas feel even more unhappy and angry. His fists clenched; if he swung this punch with full force, it would definitely be able to destroy the street, or even kill a Herrscher.
However, the situation at hand couldn't be solved with violence.
"Three more little brats are dying today. If this continues, it won't be long before they all die."
"... I know."
Aponia's eyes were compassionate.
After the Honkai broke out in Dusk Street in the past, she created this nursing home to take in those infected with Honkai disease, but Aponia could only take them in.
Although she possesses the ability to "persuade" others and the ability of threads that see through others' fates, she doesn't have the power to change fate or cure Honkai disease.
Now, after the Sixth Honkai occurred, the global Honkai energy concentration rose significantly, and the young patients in the nursing home who could originally hold on for a while were now unable to persist.
"You know, and you still don't think of a way to save these little brats! What's the use of just praying every day! Isn't that Fire Moth already making medicine that can cure it!"
Kalpas growled. Although he unceremoniously called those children little brats, looking at the children who were in unbearable pain from Honkai energy erosion, he was so anxious he couldn't endure it.
"Thank you for caring about them, Kalpas."
Aponia showed a gratified expression.
"Ha? Who cares about those little brats! I'm just... Damn! Don't look at me with that expression. If you have time to do those meaningless prayers, you might as well hurry up and buy that serum! The crying of these guys every day is too noisy, too annoying!"
Kalpas gritted his teeth and really wanted to flip the table. Everything in this nursing home made him feel comfortable, except for Aponia!
"... Sorry, I'm powerless."
"Ah?"
"Kalpas, Fire Moth didn't allocate Honkai disease serum to our Dusk Street. We can't buy medicine to treat the children here, and besides..."
Aponia's gaze dimmed.
She had confirmed countless times that the threads of fate of the Honkai disease patients in the nursing home were coming to an end, which meant that unavoidable death was approaching them.
"Enough! I already know your incompetence. Since that's the case, I'll do it my own way!"
Kalpas seemed to have had enough of her pessimism. Like an angry lion, he turned around and was about to leave.
Aponia knew what he wanted to do, and she frowned.
"You can't do that, Kalpas."
"Hmph! You don't need to worry about what I do!"
Kalpas's idea was very simple.
Since Dusk Street doesn't have medicine that can cure them, he'll go find it elsewhere. Kalpas doesn't mind robbing Fire Moth with violence, and he has never cared about the word "consequences."
However, what no one knew was that at this moment, there was an emotion called regret in the bottom of Kalpas's heart.
Back then, Bai Ge gave him a communication terminal that could contact him, but Kalpas crushed it without a second thought.
Thinking about this now, he wished he could go back in time and break the hand that crushed the terminal.
(If I could contact that guy, I could get the medicine to treat them... Ahhhhhhh! Damn! Damn! Bastard!)
Behind the mask, Kalpas's expression twisted, as if in anger, as if in pain.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the heart-burning anger.
Kalpas had already decided to go to the nearest Fire Moth base immediately to find medicine for Honkai disease. No matter what consequences arise, he must cure the children in the nursing home first.
This is the second 【home】 he finally arrived at.
It is the new 【family】 he finally found after much difficulty.
So this time, no matter what, Kalpas will never repeat the same mistakes. No matter what price he has to pay, he will definitely protect everything he cherishes!
"Kalpas, you won't make it in time."
As if stating a fact that was destined to happen, Aponia sighed. Even if Kalpas made such a decision, the established fate didn't change in the slightest.
Aponia didn't have the ability to foresee the future yet, but she could already imagine that perhaps before Kalpas finished robbing Fire Moth and rushed back, the people would already be dead.
"Aponia, shut your mouth!"
Kalpas couldn't endure it anymore. He swung a punch, directly hitting a big hole in the nursing home wall... or rather, a small half of the nursing home was about to collapse at this moment.
And just at this moment, a panicked voice came. ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
