After a period of the accident in the same cave

Liz awakens after previously losing consciousness

“Oh, You finally woke up, Liz,” Bennett

Un

"Huh, I'm still confused. What happened here? Why are you alone? Where is Mei? I don't see him anywhere" Liza

Bennett turned his face to mask his grief

“Liz looks like you're still confused. You have to rest,” Bennett said

Liz was amazed at the situation, then smiled anxiously

"Where is Mei, Ben? Tell me now he's okay, isn't he? He's gone to get something right?" Liza

He comes to her and tears stream from his eyes

“Take care, please, please, it's nice to meet you. Goodbye,” Bennett

“What ... what does?!!”Liza 

“These were the last words our friend”Bennett 

She was totally shocked

“No way that can't happen,” Liza

Then I started crying, grabbing Bennett's shoulder and yelling at him

“Enough, Ben, if this is one of your games, stop it now. This is no time to joke” Liza

He also grabbed her shoulders and dropped her to the ground, then cried out in tears

"As I told you, Liz, Mei sacrificed himself to save both of us. We are alive thanks to him so stop talking and accept it. Mei is gone. It's hard for me to talk about him because I saw him in front of me so that's enough" Bennett

In a low voice

"Why didn't you protect him?"

“What?” Bennett

Lisa is stark

"I said why you didn't you protect him like his older brother. You must protect him, not let him sacrifice himself for us" Liza

"If I could, I would have!! He acted on his own. When he realized that we had no chance in front of the monster or even to escape, he decided to keep it away from us." Bennett

"But despite that, I am ashamed to call myself his older brother. At the moment when I had to protect him, he was the one who protected me." Bennett

At the moment, as Bennett blamed himself, Liza stood up and reached for her hand

"You do not have to regret it, and you could not do anything while he was a behavior. We must feel proud that we were able to be his friends, and I must protect his will by continuing to live" Liza

Bennett wiped the tears from his eyes, smiling

“Yes, we will never forget it no matter what,” Bennett 

“Let's go home,” Bennett

Then the two returned to their favorite tree

“I think this would be an ideal place for Mei’s grave,” Liza

“Yes, I agree with you,” Bennett

Then they built a small grave to recite their prayers

"Mei watch me become a better user of the element of fire, I may learn the element of wind as well, and I may become a better user of the wind than you "laughs" "Bennett

"A fool you would never match him in wind. Mei, may you see me become the best healer on the continent and find a magic that can bring you back to life." Liza

They both screamed in the same moment

 "Mei just watch us get better than everyone "

Then both of them went out and there was no remorse on their faces

“What's our next destination,” Bennett 

“We have to tell his parents what happened,”Lisa.

He answered her with a great responsibility on his face

“Yes we must do” Bennett

“Let's go,”Liza

The boys headed towards Mei's house to tell his parents what had happened and as they approached his doorstep.

They felt guilty, but nonetheless insisted on continuing

Lisa hits the door

“Who's there,” Mizuki 

His mother opened the door

“Oh wow !!! dear look who’s visiting us today” Mizuki

“Huh, they’re Friends of  Mei, as I remember Ben and…” Kaen

“I'm Lisa, sir. You can call me Liz. We've met before,” Liza

"Oh sorry! Sorry !!! It's my fault for not remembering a pretty girl like you" Kaen

“Thank you, sir, and excuse me for the bothering you,” Liza

"No, no problem, by the way, if you're looking for Mei, he's not yet home."

“Yes, I thought he went to the mountain with you,” Mizuki 

“That child he even runs away from me wait until I capture you” Mizuki

"Yeah about that," Liza

“Hmm” Mizuki

Lisa bowed her head and started shivering, trying to hold back her tears

After seeing her like this, Bennett decided to intervene

"Ma'am, can we come in to discuss something with you," Bennett 

Mizuki was astonished at the situation

“Of course, come on,” Mizuki

Kaen remained silent, as though he already knew what happened

They all got in and sat at a table full of food

"Eat whatever you desire and then let's talk," Mizuki

“Thank you, ma'am, but we'd like  to speak first,” Bennett

“Okay, but I thought if ...” Mizuki

“Mizuki let the kids say what they have,” Kaen

“H ... Okay”, Mizuki

Bennett began shivering as well as Kaen sensed him

“Hey kid, don't be afraid and honestly say everything you have.” Kaen

“Well,” Bennett

take courage

"Ma'am and sir, I have something to tell you. First, Liz and Mei and I went to the mountain, each one went on a different path and we had some problems, but then we met inside a cave and when we discovered there was a strange stone inside that cave." Bennett

Suddenly he started crying, but he continued his speech

“Son, has anything happened to you,”Mizuki

"Let him continue" Kaen

"And as we tried to take that stone, a monster appeared out of nowhere, it was clear to everyone that we could not overcome it so I decided to fight it while Mei and Liz fled, but Mei understand the situation and knew that there was no chance to escape as well. He was a monster outside our power, so he asked me to distracted him while he deals with him. I asked him why?! But he shouted at me and told me to hurry after I distracted him. Mei made a hole in the ground to drop himself and the beast also into the hole. "

“He did it to save me and Liz,” Bennett 

Then he bowed his head in regret

“I'm so sorry I had to sacrifice myself for him,” Bennett said

“It was my fault,” Bennett 

“It wasn't anyone’s fault,” Kaen

"Huh ?!" Bennett

"Everyone has to take responsibility for his own decisions. It was Mei's decision to go to that cave, and it was also his decision to sacrifice himself to save you and your regret now. You make fun of his decisions and I do not like those who make fun of my son's decisions and I will never forgive anyone that would do such a thing so gather your courage, boy instead of regret. Try To be better so nothing happens to you again. ”Kaen

Mizuki turned to him, with an inner sadness visible on her, but she smiled anyway

“Son, it was a tough day for you two, why don't you take a break,” Mizuki

“Can I ask you one last question please,” Mizuki

"Yes, of course." Bennett

“What were his last words,” Mizuki 

Liza hurriedly left the house, crying

"Please take care of Liz, I'm glad that I was able to meet you. Goodbye” Bennett

Mizuki fell to the ground and started crying

Then Bennett and Liza left

Kaen patted his wife's shoulder and smiled sadly

“He was really a kind and amazing kid,” Kaen

"Sure he was" Mizuki

Then Bennett and Liza told the villagers what had happened and asked for a funeral for Mei

The majority agreed to this resolution and thus allowed it to be implemented

A few days later, during the funeral

“Did we make the right decision,” Bennett 

"I don’t know, we are in the same situation, but I think he is watching us now and he is happy," Liza

“Yes, as his father said, we have to get stronger,” Bennett 

"Otherwise, we will not be able to face the next challenges," Liza
