Ieyasu slowly stood up after the event of everything that just happened so suddenly. He should be ashamed? It was no wonder why the Leaf was failing because of this alone?

'''No, no this is just what this village needs. It needs to be strong, strong for Keldran.'''

This thought boldly stood out even against his anger as he turned around to face Ranta. Ieyasu's fists grew tight as he looked ahead to this stranger, his teeth gritting as he began to walk closer.

"I have no cause for shame. A lesson to not run like a coward after he killed the VIP of the mission, my punishment is worthy to even bring him along the road of redemption. This village can not stand for cowardice like that, it needs to be strong so we can fight... fight against these mons—"

It was almost as though he began to choke on something, Ieyasu realizing what he had just said. This blinding hatred, like a fire that always seemed to blind him and burned off the ties to rationality and morality. First was Kaylee Kedōin, then came those bandits he brutally killed without even offering mercy, and now... this.

The blazes began to dull as he knew none of this wasn't what Keldran wanted. This was the rage he saw in his father... and now it was in him. He began to breathe deeply before turning around, offering a hand to Shinra to get him off the ground. He stood there paused for a moment, seemingly out of words before his voice came out. It was bold and confident in what it said, but if full attention to detail was made to then the slight waves and nuances of melancholy could be heard.

"Thank you for saving Mushi... I don't deserve to be where I'm at," Ieyasu sighed before picking up the old man's body again and looking down to where no one could see his face, "She should head back to the village because of the indirect injuries she sustained from Shin's mistake. Maybe he should too, but I need to bring back this old man's body to the village and help his people if there are any problems. I don't care if it's not a mission anymore, I'll just travel on my own and act accordingly. I don't think that would be cutting any rules, I'm not assigned to any other mission at the moment so my day is free."

He turned to Shin and O, looking at them with regretful eyes, "I've been your sensei for what... three weeks now? I'm sorry we haven't trained together as a team, only separately. I'm at fault because if I acted like an actual leader, and even to Mushi: None of this would have happened. Mushi, head back to the village and get patched up. I can't protect you. Shin if you're still so concerned, just head back too. You can do the same too, O. Just if you're hurt and think you'll be a liability, don't follow me."

Ieyasu bit own on his lip. He began to walk towards the road leading to the village just as he had intended before, Ieyasu couldn't fuck up this one little task he could do for good.
