couldn’t disappoint a Kinzu warrior Millie; I just didn’t want to disappoint you either. I really want you to keep being my friend.”
“I’ll always be your friend no matter what,” Mildred said with a gentle smile. “Bob, I just want you to be happy. Meet a nice girl, settle down. I would love to see your children running around the estate. You have your belt; you have nothing more to prove. I just want you to stop fighting things that could easily kill you.”
“I can’t promise that Millie. If you had seen the way the Kinzu looked at me. If you had heard them cheer.”
“What if next time your ability doesn’t take over and save you?” Mildred asked me.
“I know quitting would be the smart thing to do. I just don’t know if I can. I liked people thinking I was a hero, even if I was just watching myself kill those monsters.”
She gave me an understanding smile. “All I ask is that you be as careful as you can and once in a while let me introduce you to a nice girl. A girl who can convince you how much more fun it would be to stay on Cocuru and raise a family.”
Mildred gave me a hug that was the best part of the adventure. I was finally home again.
