Adopted Soldier Chapter 406 I'm home

Chapter 406 I“m home

After saying sorry a few more times to the members of the Mercenary club, Rika led them inside the former capital of Berdonia, which was now in the form of a medieval fortress. She then let them stay at one of the empty houses and told them to wait while she calls their relatives.
A few minutes later a bunch of people arrived.
"Onii-sama!"
"Nii-nii!"
"Emily! Kyle!"
"My beautiful son!"
"My son!"
"..."
"Rachel!"
"Little sis!"
Different voices shouted at the same time, as Lilitth and Niki jumped onto their respective brothers. Sarah was crying as she saw Kyle no longer had eyes. Niel's parents surrounded him with their bright smiles. Michel holding the twins smiled happily as she greeted Alex. One of Sayaka's uncles came to greet her.
"Kyle, what happened to you?" Sarah held onto Kyle's hands as she wept. In response to this Kyle gently caressed Sarah's face as he showed her a smile.
"I'm sorry Sarah, it doesn't look like I'll be able to see your beautiful paintings again." Hearing what Kyle said Sarah could no longer hold it in as she cried even louder and hugged Kyle as tightly as she could.
"It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you're safe. Both of you are." Sarah signaled Emily to join in their hug. Emily shrugged her shoulders and happily joined in.
...
"Onii-sama! I've missed you Onii-sama!" Lilitth hugged Alex not wanting to let go. Michel holding the twins stood in front of Alex, and said: "welcome home."
"I'm home." Alex, Lilitth, Michel and the twins went for a group hug happy to see each other again.
"Where's Carlo?" Michel asked, "yeah where's tou-chan?" Lilitth looked around confused. When Alex heard their question he knelt down and started tearing up. "Onii-sama why are you crying? It's alright now."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Michel seeing Alex like this could figure out what happened to Carlo. She was sad inside, no she was devasted, but she was now tasked with the job of comforting Alex as his mother, so she couldn't show her weakness now.
"Alex stop crying... There's no need to apologize... I understand... Just tell us how it happened." Alex looked at Michel and saw the resolve in her eyes. Alex bit his lip and stood up and he started telling Michel and Lilitth the final moments of Carlo.
When Lilitth heard that Carlo had died, she wailed. "Tou-chan you liar! You told me you'll come back with Onii-sama!"
As Lilitth was crying the silent twins started crying as well. Michel tried comforting her children, even though she wanted someone to comfort her as well.
'This is going to be hard Carlo. The world is changing and you're no longer here with me and I have four kids to take care of... You really gave me the hardest mission of them all... But I will complete it no matter what.'
...
Rachel's reunion was met with a lot of questions, her mother Kumiko and her brothers all asked if she met Dan on the way. Rachel told them everything she saw, she explained how Dan did everything in his power to protect her. She told them that his body was nowhere to be found, but he did promise to return.
"I bet he's out there somewhere having the time of his life fighting the mutated animals," Gabby said in which all of Rachel's brothers agreed. Kumiko smiled as well hearing what her son said and knowing her husband that would most likely be the case.
'So you're going to make me wait again. You're seriously something else Dan Regius. Fine, I'll wait for you no matter how long.' Kumiko giggled as she covered her eyes.
...
While everyone was having their dramatic reunion, Oliver and Matthew looked at everyone and showed a relieved smile. Even though they had no one left, they still felt happy that the others were able to reunite with their families. On the other hand, Kei and Evangeline looked around confused.
"Um, Ms. Rika where are my parents?" Evangeline asked, "mine as well." Kei raised his hand asking the same thing. When the two of them asked that question, Rika looked at them with eyes of pity. Kei who was good at reading people was able to understand what that look meant. Evangeline was also quite perceptive and knew what Rika's look meant.
Evangeline's body began to tremble, while Kei clenched his fist trying to calm himself down.
"Ms. Rika where are our parents? Please tell us." Evangeline spoke her voice was trembling along with her body.
"..."
"Ms. Rika... Please..." Kei who was trying his best not to break down asked Rika with a shaky voice.
Rika seeing the determination in Kei and Evangeline's faced, sighed. She didn't want to be the one to tell this, but she was the only one who should tell them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kain died at the hands of mutated animals, eaten alive alongside their servants." When Evangeline heard what Rika said she fell onto her knees and had a blank look on her face.
"As for Mr. and Mrs. Kaido, they both died in a car accident. The car they were in was flattened by a telephone pole."
Kei's face distorted as he heard this and he kept on nodding, trying his very best not to cry.
