Because he heard that sort of story, it was only natural that Pam was disturbed.

For now, he would leave him alone... That's what Might thought.

Might
...Pam.

Since awhile ago Might was calling out Pam's name over and over... When he closed his eyes, he saw Pam's figure.

When they met, Pam was still much smaller than Might, and even though he was discriminated against and ill-treated, he faced the future honestly.

He didn't hold a grudge against anyone, and believed in the future. How many times was he energized by those sincere eyes?

Might
(I want to protect Pam... While I say that, Pam has always been there to help me. When I was heart-broken, I was able to hold out because Pam was near me...)

Might
(Even though, I... Right now I'm doing nothing for Pam.)

Regret swelled in Might's heart.

Pam
...Might.

When he heard his name called softly, Might lifted his head.

In front of him was Pam. Though he desperately forced a smile, his eyes were swollen red.

It seemed a very deep sadness attacked Pam... Now that all his were drained, was he free from that sadness...

When he considered Pam's feelings, it tore at Might's chest painfully.

Stirred up by all those emotions, Might embraced Pam gently.

Might
Pam... Are you ok?

Pam
Yeah, I've calmed down already. Ehehe... When I was told the truth, I needed to cry. But, when I was crying really hard, and you were calling, my feelings got lighter.

Pam
I'm ok already, Might!

Might
I always... want to be near you.

Might
(For now, that's all I can do for Pam. But, I definitely... Will become stronger. Then I can truly protect Pam...!)

Pam
Thanks... Might... I, love you!

Might
Me too, Pam.

They watched each other, and put their lips together.

Might
(I, will always be near him. I loved Pam's tender smiling face... If it's possible for him to smile, I'll always always be by his side...)

Pam
Well then, promise! We'll meet again for sure in grandpa's village!

Pam's Mom
Yes, I promise. I don't know when, but I'll definitely return to the village.

Pam
Yes, stay close to father now!

Pam
...But, don't forget that granpda wants to see you again too.

Pam's Mom
I know. And you are well. ...Might-san, please take care of Pam.

Might
...I will!

Pam's mother smiled tenderly, and Might answered with a smiling face.

Might
Well, Pam. Shall we return to our travels?

Pam
Yeah!

Pam
Not being with my mom again, I'll be lonely but... But when we meet again, I can tell you stories about all sorts of places in the world!

Pam's Mom
Yes, I'll enjoy it. Be well... Pam, Might-san.

Might
Well then... With this, we're going.

Pam
Mom, goodbye!

Pam
We'll meet again! Definitely, definitely~!!

He was reunited with his mother, and separated once again... Pam grew up a lot because of this incident too... At least that's what it seemed...

Pam
Aah~, Might, look look~! There's an enormous cake over here! It looks delicious! !

Might
Oh my... I get it. Shall we eat it?

Pam
Yaaaaaay!!! Might, I looove you~!!

He was still somewhere between an adult and a child... for the time being, seemed to be the type of feeling Pam showed. Hereafter, their journey continued. ..

The End
