Hero System! Transported to Another World - Chapter 182: Heartwarming
“Hmm, That’s fine. But once you get back, call me. I’m glad that you’re safe. That was all, good bye.” Hana ended the phone call.
Alex looked a bit surprised but she laughed a bit as well, ‘She’s always been this way.’ He said to himself before putting down the phone. Midnight looked at Alex and asked, “Did you get yelled at?” She seemed to be enjoying this.
Alex sighed and spoke, “She just wanted to check up after finding out that I woke up… I think there is a mission as well because she wants me to call her once I’m home.”
Hearing Alex’s Words, Buster commented, “Well, It might be late night by the time you get back. It’ll still take some time for us to reach the other city but It’s a fun ride and you can relax till then. I guess we should have asked Hana to join this time as well. I have a feeling she might have accepted this time for some reason.” He smiled.
Midnight smiled as well when she heard Buster’s words, “That’s a pretty fun trip, I’d say. I can clearly see her being a bit different with Alex around so imagining her touring with us without completely being uninterested is actually something that would be a rare occasion…”
Her eyes suddenly grew bigger as she looked at Alex and continued in a serious tone, “Alex… Next time, We will call Hana. I know you want to explore more so after you finish the mission that Ryan has planned out for you, I want you to tell us some place that you want to visit. I want to drag along Hana as well…” Her eyes seemed more serious, “Maybe a beach would be fun.” She laughed to herself.
Buster took a deep breath and sighed, “Midnight, I bet that your eyes are scary right now.” He could guess without even looking at Midnight.
Alex laughed when he Saw midnight’s embarrassed reaction to Buster’s words. The three continued on their way to the city.

Hana was sitting on a chair next to a bed. The room was clean and seemed very quiet. A voice spoke, “It’s fine… I wanted to spend time with you today anyway. I was just curious the boy who you talked about so much… but before you could even talk to him, he was taken away by a few other people… Didn’t know my sister would fall for such popular guys…” The voice weakly laughed.
Hana’s face looked very different from normal. She was happy and smiling brightly and after hearing the woman’s words, she turned red and smiled. “Lian… Please don’t tease me like that… He’s just been very helpful to many people and became friends with them. I was just the first one to meet him so I might have grown fond of him…” She looked at the woman on the bed.
Lina, Hana’s sister was lying on the bed. Her body looked frail but there was a bright look on her face. She has light-Grey hair, almost like Hana’s. If one were to look at her and Hana, they would instantly notice that Lian has a Brighter and a more happy expression all the time and Hana, normally would look very dead and cold.
Lian laughed and continued, “Hana… Thank you for visiting me so often, even though you were so busy… We’re sisters so I know more than the others… I know about the stories that you told me even when I was unconscious and I know about the emotions you felt. I’m more than happy to be here for you but you need to let others in… I might have been away for some time and you stuck with me all the way but you need to understand that you have to let others in… I’m ecstatic that the first person you let in would actually be a boy. I truly hope you continue to bond with him… Next time, I would love to meet him but for you, I’m happy just talking with my sister…” Lian slowly spoke.
Every word that Lian spoke, Hana’s face became more red. She was happy, extremely happy. Her eyes gave away warm tears as she hugged Lian. “I missed you so much…”
Lian smiled and patted Hana’s back as they hugged, “You don’t need to worry about me anymore… I’m here now, I will always be.” Lian smiled as tears fell.
The heartwarming scene continued for some more time. Before long, Hana noticed that a few hours had passed while the two sisters caught up with one another. She looked at her phone and then asked, “Lian, When will you be discharged?”
Lian looked at Hana and shrugged, “That’s not a question for me… I just woke up from everything this morning. You should ask the nurse…” She smiled.
Hana nodded and said her goodbyes. As she walked out of the room, the warmness on her face also stuck. Hana walked up to the doctor’s office.

Alex looked outside with awe as he stared at the large Temples. He looked around and it felt a bit like he was home. The place seemed to have less technology everywhere and looked very similar to his own world. “These temples… They’re almost the same as what we had.” Alex looked very happy.
He always saw similarities between this world and his own, and he was even more happy to see that this city had temples that were almost the same as the ones in his world. But actually seeing them in front of him in the real world, Alex couldn’t help but be happy.
‘I never thought that I would actually feel sad seeing a place close to that of my world…’ Alex took a deep breath and spoke, “I lived a poor life… only because of an old woman’s help I could afford a run down room to live in. The place that I lived in was also in a run down area, but very close to the temples… I was never religious but I always appreciated those temples because they would provide for those less fortunate than me… So seeing something so similar to the ones I saw before but in this world is just a heartwarming feeling.”
