He never cared for the background mobs as he was too busy reading the adventures the MC takes and his righteousness that is mixed with his ruthless character. He cared for the villains, but he only hates them.

In the story Sword of Heaven, no, rather in every story that he reads, he only ever sees the perspective of the hero.

The villains are considered as bad and could never be redeemed. He was swayed by the ideology of killing everyone the hero sees.

Though in most cases, that ideology is the correct approach, seeing a villain cry in front of him was something that managed to break the misconception.

Though he already realized this point before, that mobs and background characters are people, seeing the humanity of every villain made Colt think things through,

Their drive and their lost, there are reasons why they are trying to get revenge, why they are slaughtering people, and why they have gone insane. In other words, there is no one born evil, there are only those who are swallowed by darkness.

'No one needs to die if there is no need. Asking to take the lives of others is not so easy to accomplish. Sigh, was I a maniac by wis.h.i.+ng such things to happen? Well, at least I can cheer their love life now.'

Colt could only watch as Jin calmed down Vyra. That is not the job of Colt, but her future husband.

Married life is supposed to be supporting one another, as one makes a decision one would support it and tread that road together. When the other is pain, one would come for support; and when one is in trouble would be there to help.

The one before him was not a married couple, but they are starting to look like a family…

'Though I don't know what that actually means.'

Colt laughed as he drank his tea. While sipping the tea and reminiscing over the past of the original together with Filla, Colt inadvertently smiled.

'You too were a good parent, also.' Colt's silent laughter was kept to himself.

While he was busy keeping things to himself the army sensed the atmosphere and returned to the open paG.o.da. While each of them carried a plate with food in it, Colt watched Fluff make the ten cats line up.

"Nya!"

The cats lined up and waited for the next command to be issued. Their backs were straight, all of them looked dignified, despite some having scars that proved their battles in the streets, all of them seemed dignified.

"Meo!"

The cats began to eat as Fluff gave the command. As Fluff smirked at this accomplishment it turned to Colt as if to say, 'Heh, that's my army.' It was really proud of what it had accomplished.

Colt just laughed it off with as he nodded his head. He was going to ignore its antics for a while but then, something, or more appropriately someone caught his eyes.

With tears still running down her face, Vyra sniffled as she bent her knees to crouch down and watched the cats eat while Jin comments.

"Come here, come here…kitty, come here."

Vyra had her hands stretched out as if she was hoping the cats would notice and give her some form of comfort. She noticed Fluff and the ten cats coming to the open paG.o.da while her head was lowered.

Seeing them made her somewhat calmer than before.

Jin turned to Colt, and with mysterious methods, only two men with a deep understanding of hards.h.i.+p could do, the two conversed with their eyes. Though their connection is not that strong, Colt still managed to get the gist of the words he wishes to convey.

"She really likes cats, um, can you help me with this, Young Master?"

Being someone who is also faced with the challenge of facing his own woman, Colt could understand Jin. He may look like a woman but he is also a man who deals with his own girl, thus he can sympathize with him.

So, Colt secretly called upon Fluff, and this time, through the connection he had with his partner a full and unbroken conversation was held.

"Help the guy, use the full power of your army!"

Colt's urgent cries for help resonated with Fluff's desire to show off his army. As the cat began to eat, Fluff made a discreet meow, sending its ten soldiers the signal to commence the strongest tactic they can take.

"The ten cats slowly raised their heads, as they ate. They noticed Vyra's outreaching hands. As if by chance, a chubby orange cat walked to her hand and licked it before placing its paws to Vyra's hands.

With such a thing happening, Vyra began caressing its head as gently as she could. A soft smile blossomed as Vyra and the cats a.s.sociated. She turned to her lover with a puffy eyes and a smile, "Jin, aren't they cute?"

"Yes, they are."

Seeing Vyra act like that made Jin smile in contentment.

'She is slowly coming back to her cheerful self.'

Thought Vyra is kind and helps other people when she can, it was rare to see her smile. Only when she is with either Sera or Jin does she actually shows a smile.

Most of the time, she shows a melancholic expression or a somewhat irritated one.

Jin thought that it will take a long time to see her smiling again, but it seems like she too is trying to find ways to smile.

"I'm glad." Vyra looked at Jin was a smile as she held his hand.

Jin was caught off guard. Vyra rested her head to Jin.

"I'm glad you're the one I met." Vyra said in a soft voice.

Colt would want usually find such words cringeworthy, but he is letting it go this time as he finds her words rather suitable for the occasion.

After this scene, one war or the other, Colt was left to watch the two play with the cats with a smile on his face. On his side was Fluff who looked proud at what he had accomplished.

He sighed in relief as he commented, "This is such a treat for the eyes."

However, from behind, someone grabbed his shoulders from behind. A soft and sweet-sounding voice echoed.

"Hooooh, so, the husband invited two girls while the wife is away?"

Colt's heart sunk as his eyes widen and his mouth gape. Fluff too had the same expression as Colt because the bloodl.u.s.t coming from behind made even him stupefied. Colt turned his head slowly and saw a smiling Mina.

He didn't even have the time to say a word when she continued her questions.

"Who are these two lovely girls?"
