Chapter 475: The war isn't over
"I know that you want to solve all problems by yourself, but it is important to trust your friends and let them do their job," Terra said. "When they think that they need help, they will ask for it."
"You have a point," Rain said while stretching his body. "I guess I was just thinking too much since nothing happened as of late. It was about time for something to happen, I guess."
"I am going to the orphanage again, call me if something happens," Terra said and then approached Rain and forced him to smile with her fingers. "If you keep scowling too much, you will have wrinkles in your twenties."
In the end, Rain spent the day in the garden looking after his kids. He didn't want to leave Seara behind and let her wake up in an empty home, after all. Still, while she told him to wake her up for dinner, she woke up at noon and had lunch with them.
"I am going to talk with Branden and Esmeralda for a bit," Seara declared.
"I guess we are going too," Rain said.
"Some room to breathe, please?" Seara sighed.
"Even at night as well?" Rain asked.
"You are so unfair..." Seara said while showing a troubled expression.
"Sorry... I went too far," Rain said. "I will stop insisting on that, just make sure to inform me if something big happens."
"... I guess that is the downside of letting Rain be responsible for our security, the golems work for him and they wouldn't inform us of his approach," Branden said.
In the end, Rain put Danny on Branden's shoulder and Annie on Esmeralda's before he had a good chance to study the map. There were several red points on the map of the whole country, some were big, others were small, there was some numbers near them as well... the math said that in total, it was around two thousand.
"Let me guess, two thousand disappearances in the last month?" Rain asked.
"Yes..." Seara said and then sighed. "You can call us incompetent for not finding a single one of them."
"Not at all, I have a lot of time to think about it in the last month and it makes sense that you didn't find them," Rain said. "Do you know why?"
"No idea," Seara said.
"Well, let me study the map for a moment, and then I will be able to say something smart," Rain said.
Actually, Rain wasn't able to understand anything since he didn't have enough information, but after studying the map and seeing that there were no markings on the capital, he was able to come up with some possibilities.
"There are no soldiers of that war in the capital at the moment? Why?" Rain asked.
"Because you solved most of the problems that we had with magic, so we sent them where you wouldn't be able to go," Branden explained.
"It seems that you ended up sending them to troublesome areas without noticing..." Rain said while pointing to the cities that had the most disappearances around. "These places were under Joanis control before."
