Today it was snowing heavily and at the same time someone was calling for help a person wakes up to that voice rising from bed the voice says it's in a lot of pain and the child who woke up looks towards the direction of the voice they wonder if it's coming from the window with an unded gaze the child steps outside heading towards the voice looking at their hands a magical bubble lands on them then they drift away the Child runs after them the bubbles lead to an animal that looks like a cat approaching it standing
face to face admiring the animal with a smile on their face the animal seems to be getting ready to spit something out katchup then comes out of its mouth the boy extends his hands towards the cat which accepts being held then the boy carries it in his arms saying everything will be all right and it won't hurt anymore while a voice tells him not to Cry and to sleep well for good dreams in a room the supposed protagonist is waking up complaining about the cold s knocks on the door calling out for ESO it was
his brother named teret who's furious with him he berates him saying if he wants to sleep so much he might as well pass away on the other hand the boy remains silent looking at the door then he gets up and opens the door with a forlorn look terot calls him a sleepy head asking if he forgot what day it is Esio looks at his brother's clothes and responds that hell be right there teret looks at him silently then suddenly removes his blanket revealing his clothes and throws the blanket at him he tells him to at
least wash his clothes because he was smelling while calling him a curse esio doesn't respond just smells his clothes to see if they were that bad looking out the window he says today is the coming of age ceremony it's an event held on the first Sunday of the Year for those who turn 19 he goes downstairs looking at a girl who immediately screams because of his appearance saying she thought he was a ghost asking why he smells so bad that's his sister rosette complaining about the bad smell and offending him while their father says today
is his ceremony day however they don't care since they know the boy's ways rosette scolds him saying it's shameful to be seen with him since a certain L will be there today saying Goodbye she tells him they'll go ahead and instructs him to take a bath then ESO wonders where he will bathe looking at a well outside he looks at the well silently then pulls the Rope throwing a bucket of water on him self soaking everything around him shaking his hair he Shivers from the cold suddenly he hears a cat mewing and recognizes the cat
named Suki suddenly clothes fall on his face Suki was that cat that appeared when he was a child the protagonist asks The cat what it is and it replies it's a gift looking at the clothes he asks where it got them again it replies it's a gift silently putting on the clothes he looks at Suki and asks where it got them and it just tells him it was given to them Suki climbs down from the well telling ESO it was given to him and now he's giving it as a gift to him looking at him
who returns the Gaze the two stare at each other suddenly he sees a girl about to be hit by a cart and supie Jumps on her saving her life the girl's mother asks Suki what she can offer as thanks Suki seems curious the girl then hands the clothes to him at that moment the boy realizes in size saying he bets the cat insisted they give it to him but soon he pets it praising it for saving the girl he quickly puts on the clothes which feel comfortable and cozy asio remembers that the cat always brings
things he needs and there's no way to know the frequency or reason it does What it wants a bird calls out to the boy who recognizes it as Furia at the same time various animals start interacting with ESO something catches his attention looking back he calls for susuki while something unknown Peaks his curiosity then a person appears the protagonist watches her recognizing her as Bella but unlike him she doesn't recognize him asking who he is the smelly one says it was expected that she would remember him however she Recognizes his voice and calls in by
his name she asks if he's also going to the ceremony and the boy says yes Bella then offers them to go together elsewhere a party is happening it's a bustling restaurant with many people celebrating two people are also drinking asking about the protagonist just hearing his name two others are disappointed the woman next to them responds that he's a lazy one and that she sent him to take a bath but the boy is taking too long then Someone suggests starting without him the others agree an elder prepares to speak saying that since it's too cold
to wait they should start a toast a blonde man asks them to wait saying Bella hasn't arrived yet everyone agrees to wait as they can't start without a beautiful lady tell Bella arrives with the protagonist the blond-haired guy thought the girl wouldn't come but she just says she had a delay then the guy gets worried asking her if she fell in That hurt somewhere she just replies that she's fine and that she met ESO on her way he's confused asking who that person is ESO introduces himself saying it's been a long time calling him Lewis
Lewis responds awkwardly questioning if he really is ESO the protagonist shows no reaction Bella watches this with a smile on her face suddenly she grabs the boy's arm and everyone around is surprised as she takes his arm inviting him to go with her looking at the Protagonist blushing in a flashback a girl is left behind by her mother a gentleman says he likes Bella and she smiles back saying she likes him too another asks if they will marry after the coming of age ceremony and she replies yes then a wave of voices calls her name
and she yells saying she's tired of all this she just wanted a love like in a soap opera Bella calls for ESO who seems overwhelmed by Bella's thoughts while she asks if he's okay Approaching him touching him then he becomes terrified and slaps her hand away he quickly realizes what he did and apologizes to the girl Bella is taken AB back she apologizes for touching him without permission he replies that wasn't for that this leaves the guru confused wondering why ESO calms down telling himself not to have seen anything the party continues with people congratulating
the children who have become adults the protagonist holding a Glass calls for Bella thanking her for some reason she replies it's nothing and that if it weren't for him she would be the butt of jokes for being late but he accompanied her willingly while the blond-haired guy watches the two of them calling esio a scoundrel and wondering where he got that outfit then he goes outside suddenly he hears someone asking if it was the person in front of them who bought that new outfit he replies no and the woman asks where ESO got it and
The man says You must have borrowed it the woman says there's no one with that kind of outfit around there the blond-haired one listens to the whole conversation and looks malicious slamming his glass on the table he calls for the boy saying he's never seen the design of that outfit before and asks where he got it esto looks at him and replies that was a gift the guy approaches while questioning if it really was a gift already asking who Gave it to him aser just replies it was from a friend the blonde insists asking who
this friend is since they must be rich enough to give that to him the others watch the situation he then demands the protagonist tell the truth asking if he stole the outfit ASU is incredulous at that question a memory is triggered with several people appearing in it with the young protagonist bloodied on the ground while the town's people call him curse for hearing those Things on the ground nearly dying he says no a woman appears asking not to kill him and takes him to a place saying he will stay in the Attic from now on
the protagonist then disperses from his thoughts and the blond-haired guy continues saying that he stole that outfit to look nice today the people hearing this agree with him calling ESO crazy he becomes desperate denying everything Bella looks at him with a look of disgust which he notices Becoming desolate a child throws a tomato while calling him a monster and a voice tells him to dodge hearing this he lowers his head dodging the Tomato VES towards the lamp above him hitting it and spilling the Tomato on the boy stunned he realized es the situation people start
calling him a monster cleaning his face he looks forward seeing his father mother and brother walking away without even looking at him he thinks he kept hope says there's no Place for him there then he goes home and stays in the corner stad he starts laughing madly out of nowhere and sometime after his Madness passes he starts crying saying he's going to leave off picking up a weapon and that no matter where he goes he just wants to stay alive outside he stops wondering where he will go now covering his face he continues on his
way the carriage stops in front of him with a voice asking if he's traveling on foot in this Cold looking at the carriage he sees an old man asking him to get in seeing this he's surprised but then accepts inside the moving Carriage esio observes a bridge looking up something catches his attention an animal is on top of the carriage which is Suki seeing him the protagonist with a smile on his face is Happy thinking that he left his hometown at the coming of age ceremony the moving Carriage suddenly stops abruptly and with that the
protagonist wakes up a Voice then calls him interesting which quickly makes him get up the Knight says he managed to sleep in this cold laughing asking why he's so surprised already recognizing him as a country boy calling him cute sjo looks at the weapons behind him wondering if he is the carriage guard the Knight says he's making him embarrassed for being such a quiet person telling him to respond since they had a lot of trouble for letting him into the carriage giving him A wink leaving him speechless then the protagonist Reveals His Name to him
who doesn't understand the name right away and confuses it with esto instead of eso which embarrasses the boy the Knight introduces himself as Lena Lena ran a cander asking if it isn't funny the boy is confused responding if it was supposed to be funny Lena is surprised by the unexpected response while calling him by the wrong name and saying he liked him again leaving him speechless While Lena Smiles asking why ESO is going to the city looking for a job while saying he doesn't think he'll be lucky in the city hearing this ESO says he
hasn't fought that far ahead as he has no goals and even less talent to protect himself let alone others like him Lena asks what he's good at looking at him he doesn't seem to be good at lifting weights esio replies that he's good at dealing with animals Lena says if he wants to try to join his circus he Better give up because he won't make it the protagonist replies that's not it and then he knows what animals think hearing this Lena laughs asking if he can read minds at the same time asking the boy to
read his too seeing Lena laugh the protagonist concludes that there's no one else with his ability and that the power to read the mind and thoughts of others even seeing them unintentionally is something a human shouldn't have already remembering Bella's memories and suddenly The Carriage starts to shake Lena becomes alert and stands up ASA just looks at him as he exits the Carriage drawing his sword in the carriage Lena calls for the protagonist who immediately goes to see what it is Lina returns and says the horses aren't moving complaining he's sad that they're tired time
passes asjo says it's been 3 hours the others ask why they've been in that cold for so long and suggest killing the horses and Getting a new Carriage Lena doesn't know what to do saying he wishes he could read their minds he thinks a bit about what he said and has an idea shouting the protagonist's name he grabs him by the arm saying they're ready to go esto then asks where to Lena holding his arm says if he really can read mindes he should read the horses responding he doesn't know if it will work since
he's not hearing them Lena is confident with this idea and ESO gets a little angry But the merchant starts yelling at the horses telling them to move or they'll die the protagonist sigh and heads towards the carriage asking the merchant to wait because he'll take a look at the horses hearing this the merchant is a bit confused while esier says it will only take a second the merchant sze and puts away his Whip and the protagonist approaches the horses that have a strange look he approaches and touches the horse asking what what's wrong then He
goes into the horse's thoughts which replies that it's scared and that there's danger ahead esio asks what's scary and dangerous the same replies that there's something big and sharp that will kill all those who took care of them and a frightening Beast is then revealed to the protagonist who immediately returns to the real world scared Lena desperate asks him what he heard then esio points in a Direction saying there's a large monster with White fur and sharp claws Lena thinks that if they're attacked they'll suffer great losses sharing that information with everyone the merchant doubts
the situation and asks if they really should believe in something like that leaving the protagonist desolate who is about to leave when Lena grabs him on his shoulder and says he knows a large creature on a snow covered Mountain saying its name is Kamia a white furred monkey the merchant says it's hard to Find rare species but there might be one around here someone says that because it's cold having a white monkey around isn't a surprise and that it's enough to attract the attention of any hunter the merchant says it's jestic beast and that's no
reason for the horses to be so scared L replies that it's reason enough for them to take a look since the horses won't move he asks ESO to wait a bit asking him to follow him since everyone is ready saying they sent half of the Hired personnel and that they're all very skilled looking at the protagonist who is confused he grabs him by the arm saying they should go esto is confused wondering why he's going along laner replies that you never know when you'll meet a translator and ESO is shocked by his response thinking that
the monster is much worse than the white monkey and that he didn't give details of his ability on purpose so they must think he only understands the emotions of animals The prot Agonist just looks at the man's back and then ESO thinks that everyone who knows he can read minds changes their attitude towards him he decided not to be interested in other people even those who seem to trust him the soldiers are heading towards the beast when someone yells for them to stop everyone stops and starts looking around there's a strong wind and lightning around
them a soldier then uses a lantern spell Conjuring Fireballs around Them while the protagonist is happy to see this for the first time suddenly a strong wind blows from behind them and a terrifying voice calls them cursed humans warning that it will kill them all hearing this the protagonist is in shock to understand the feelings of a creature without touching it requires strong willpower esio freezes upon realizing they are in grave danger and the monster continues repeating that it will kill them all the protagonist tells Lena that they must return now Lena asks what he's
talking about since fighting is the only way he asks if there's another monster besides that one but esier replies no Lena draws his two weapons from his back while the others prepare for battle they wonder how it could be a monkey with white fur the monster hearing this starts to scream beating chest emitting a very strong shock wave asio struges to stay on his feet receiving that wave Lena says it's Not a monkey but it does have white fur and the girl asks if white fur is enough to consider it a monkey while Lita moves
towards the monster to attack it which hits him with numerous blows and stealthily the Mage conjures a fire power launching it at the monster along with a bald man throwing an arrow at it the protagonist is surprised by everything however the monster gets even more irritated and starts to scream moving towards the bald man while Lena Can only watch this happen the monster strikes the bald man making him fly and fall to the ground about to be crushed by the monster esio runs in his Direction stopping in front of the monster asking it to stop
while he tells it to calm down that everything will be okay the monster begins to calm down staring intently at our bilingual animal hero however Lena couldn't wait and yells at the monster saying he told it to be careful attacking it suddenly from Behind the monkey screams desperately while the others attack it non-stop overcome with despair it starts to run and the others go after it saying they won't let it Escape esio wonders why he did that and Falls Seated on the ground questioning himself about his actions but remembers that for a moment the monster
stopped and thinks that it could die because of this until suddenly a wave of thoughts of something calling for its mother saying it's scared fills The boy's head he recognizes that they are the thoughts of the monster and that he has to find it he sees a cave with large steps observing it he approaches it looking from outside he says it's quiet and that probably the Warriors didn't enter there entering the cave he smells a strong scent of blood as he gets closer he sees the white furred monkey with its back turned then he is
pulled into the monkey's mind which confronts him with a memory showing There were two other monkeys in the past one of the monkeys finds something it was a woman lying injured on the ground then he picks up the woman and takes her to his cave the woman wakes up disoriented the monkey seeing that she woke up offers her a piece of meat using a stone as a plate sometime later the two of them had a child yes that's right all the monkeys were happy with that and the woman named him NRA for being beautiful and
white as snow but some Human Hunters appear the the woman then tells NRA to hide while she goes towards the humans who show disgust at seeing her a shot is fired taking the life of NRA's mother in front of him then a hatred for humans swept his heart to this day after the memory ends the protagonist calls for neura who asks if it's his mommy ESO replies that it's not his mother and NRA then asks who he is the boy just says his name ner asks if ESO will also want to kill him but this
Was not the boy's intention this makes the monkey ask why he came to this place he replies that he doesn't know saying just felt he needed to come there suddenly NRA becomes sad and says that humans killed his family the monkey not understanding questions why humans killed his mother since she was also human esio says it might be because of money NRA says he doesn't know what money is and the protagonist explains that it's something used by humans to Get what they want then the monkey asks if with money he can bring his mother and
family back the protagonist replies no that it's impossible NRA then asks if he can take revenge the bilingual animal says that would be possible but the monkey realizing that he can only do that with money bursts into tears suo just watches without saying anything drying his tears n says he's very nervous and really thought about killing everyone but when the protagonist Appeared he didn't think about doing anything else ESO says it's his own fault since he interfered with his emotions mear is surprised and asks if he has such an ability but esio isn't sure suddenly
the monkey says he understands but doesn't care since he now feels much better hearing this the bilingual is confused and NRA explains that if Revenge can be achieved with money he doesn't need it while saying it's enough and turn turns to rest ESO Wishes him good dreams and soon turns to leave the cave outside the cave he feels a great cold looking to the side he sees Suki who throws a bag on top of him calling him annoying he then descends to the ground esio says he's happy to see him and Suki replies that he
wouldn't be hurt by a boy so easily the protagonist asks if he wants to be carried with the c replies no seeing Suki leaving ESO asks where he's going Bo replies he's going to the carriage and says that as For menura esio should just leave him alone while walking to the carriage tells susuk that he's in pain and will die if they find him the cat asks if he intends to stay here even if he freezes to death hearing this ESO is silent for a moment and says it's better to return to the cave while
sui just agrees the cat suddenly says he's smart but he had no idea that the boy would abandon himself ESO is confused asking for explanations Suki then replies that ESO Thinks everyone will abandon him anyway so he has no expectations as he enters the cave Suki says that anyway it was annoying the protagonist going deeper sees Nera sleeping then he takes what's in the bag and wears it revealing it to be that outfit that Suki gave at the beginning he lies down in Niner's fur and says it's cold and that makes sense since he lives
in a cold place his temperature is barely finishing speaking he falls asleep Suki then appears saying That he definitely told them they should return to the carriage and that they should simply abandon the monkey looking at the two he stops and a light emanates from his body and suddenly a huge Shadow emerges transforming into his original form the cat says that him being sick is his own fault then he crouches down and lies next to him and slowly his eyes close the protagonist wakes up and stands up then he sees a memory of Suki revealing
him to be the result of an Experiment the people in charge call him number 1251 and say that he doesn't obey humans because his instincts are good but it's useless if the experiment isn't submissive so they order him to be killed however he manages to escape and after being severely injured he starts asking for help saying he doesn't want to die transforming into a black cat lying Gravely injured on the ground someone approaches him and holds him in their arms this was SEO saying that the Cat was very cute thus naming him sukii the one
who was considered a failure gain a name the cat then wakes up with ESO calling his name he says that sui finally woke up the Bing wolf thanks him because thanks to Suki he could sleep without getting a cold suddenly the animal questions if he is injured asio is confus and replies that he is not injured Suki just transforms back into a cat when NRA appears looking at him Suki seems not to like this and asks the Protagonist how long he will take care of nin esto replies that he should be safe now and looks
at the wounds on mra's back saying that the wound seems to have also healed and that it's been a while so there shouldn't be any group hunting him then he begins to say goodbye to ninera and suddenly he speaks the protagonist's name seeing this supi was surprised n asked to go along with them ESO asks if he wants to follow them then nerus suddenly caresses the boy's Head implying that he would like to go along esier says he doesn't mind but it could be dangerous because he doesn't have the strength to protect him nerel all
cute says he can protect him since he is strong besides there is no one in this place and he doesn't want to be alone alone the protagonist tells him that where he is going there are many humans and asks if when he sees them he won't get angry NRA thinks for a moment and has an idea saying to ESO that he Will get angry if he sees the enemy who killed his family but that he won't get angry with the other humans saying that it was ESO himself who taught him that however the boy says
that someone might try to kill him which again leaves the monkey thoughtful then he says that in that case you can get angry stuki looks at the protagonist and asks what he's going to do now but he gets no answer in the city of gasia eso and n look at it the monkey comments that they ared Before Dawn then he looks at ESO and asks if he is tired from The Long Walk The bilingual thinks that Suki has gone away again when a voice catches his attention there are two guards saying that it is forbidden
for medium-sized animals not to wear a collar the guard also recognizes NRA as a beast and that he can get into trouble but he tells him to wait saying that he seems to be from the countryside while taking something from the other guard's hand handing a Collar to esio the guard says it's illegal to be without a collar telling him to remember that the protagonist is silent looking anguish at the collar nura noticing this calls his name and says it's okay asking him to use it esto is going to question but NRA interrupts him with
a smile on his face saying it's okay and that it's not as if it's going to stop him if he wants to break it ESO is reluctant but he puts the collar around his neck NRA continues with a Smile on his face while the guards say that since he came to town without knowing anything they will treat this as a service going away they tell him to take good care of it and that it seems to be a useful thing the protagonist looks at him apologizing for making him be treated that way Nedra replies that
ESO is like his mother she just kept saying she was sorry to him every day and that at first he asked her why she was sorry since he was curious but every Time he asked she didn't answer but after hearing it so often he understood that the Sorry's mother said man I love you then the two smile in the middle of that street esio then goes to the streets looking for a job but everyone refuses him and one even says that he is not suitable because he seems very weak and it's also because ESO is
carrying a beast around advising the boy to go to the 's Guild in search him a job he asks what the guild is the guy replies that At ESS they will have a suitable job for him and that it is in the city center esio and nerus stop walking while looking at the Guild's location commenting that it's not hard to find the boy holds the door knob and opens the door a voice greets him cheerfully the woman says that for questions about orders the window to the right is where to go and tells him to
take a waiting ticket esio says he heard they are hiring she indicates where to apply and Says if he can't read then the protagonist interrupts her saying he learned to read then he goes up the stairs from a distance someone watches him expressing curiosity the person approaches esio already asking who he is while thinking if he's an applicant saying that he is a complete country bunkin the protagonist replies that he is there because he heard they are recruiting new members the person asks him if he knows what the guild does he Answers yes and that
they take orders and solve them the man a bit angrily says he's not wrong and introduces himself as Hawk the manager of the galazia branch of the ignis guild the protagonist also introduces himself to him Hawk then calls him to sit down while saying that normally he would decide whether to interview or not after looking at the documents but in this case he wouldn't mind having a little monkey to help him nura and esio of them Understand Hawk asks him his hometown the protagonist replies it's in the river region Hawk tries to remember the name
River and asks ESO if he means that the entire river is his hometown asking him to specify which part of river he is talking about the boy just replies it's in selia and Hawk seems to remember it asking ESO what his specialty is and if it's dealing with animals the protagonist replies it's more or less that doesn't like it much and says he Shouldn't use phrases like that from now on and that he needs to know properly what the boy is good so that he can find a suitable job for him ESO replies that he
can read the hearts of animals hearing this Hawk is quite surprised and thinks that the protagonist is an ability user but he has never heard before of a power to read the hearts of animals there are classes with various abilities that use Mana or contracts with Spirits however according to what Esser said his ability is strange not fitting into any class and it's not with people but with animals and that's strange the protagonist looks at him waiting for an answer Hawk apologizes for not realizing that ESO was an ability user thinking that he has potential
and maybe he should invest a little in him giving an address to the protagonist saying that there will be an animal Merchant there Hawk explains that he is a collector with rare species and Needs help while he is very quiet listening Hawk promises a guild coin from the merchant as a reward for successful work handing the address paper to ESO he says that if he succeeds he should return to the guild then he takes a paper from his hand on the street the protagonist is heading to the local with nraa looking at the paper he
seems a bit lost but n senses something pointing in a direction and ESO thanks him Neu is happy with a smile on his Face towards the location they see a cabin something catches the protagonist's attention being two dogs that start growling at him esio just crouches down and Meo looks at them with a deadly gaze the dogs tremble with fear Mau and ESO are somewhat confused then the bilingual approaches and says they shouldn't be afraid because he won't attack them ESO explains that they are only there to find the owner of that place and one
of the dogs asks if it's True the protagonist then starts petting the black dog and answers yes to the dog's question one of them starts saying it's strange because suddenly he wasn't afraid anymore asking who he was the boy introduces himself saying his name and asks if NAU is a com but someone interrupts them neera and the protagonist look at him he tells the person that he was sent by The ignis Guild the man says the dogs were aggressive and didn't obey implying that He might really have this strange ability telling the protagonist to follow
him the two enter a tent and walk towards a cage the man asks ESO if he knows why this animal keeps turned away like this the bald man explains that the Cub is from a rare and expensive crosy but now is acting strangely calling it curse because he doesn't eat but the protagonist reading the man's mind sees him showing concern for the animal he stares at the man but quickly turns back To look at the animal Ester says it's just a cub the bald man gets irritated saying the protagonist is just stating the obvious esio
remains calm and doesn't respond the man is surprised that he isn't intimidated and also because the boy said the Cub is in pain but didn't say where esio is about to see his mind suddenly everything starts to turn red and the protagonist screams feeling unbearable pain in his chest seeing this the man asks what's Happening but esio replies that it's not him who's feeling it distressed he looks at the Cub opening its eye and says that's the pain of this drae the man sweating becomes confused asking what he's talking about the protagonist finds himself in
the animal's mind and says he's seeing a memory of the animal the bald man yells asking if he died standing up and why he stopped talking out of nowhere ESO replies that this child's heart is melting hearing this The man is confused the old man questions the situation while ESO replies that this species normally lives in cold Waters and if the man leaves it in these dirty lands it will dry out and suffocate to death he responds yelling calling him an idiot and questioning what ESO is saying since draes are desert monsters our protagonist very
calmly says that its heart is made of ice and is melting the man calls the bilingual crazy asking what kind of Animal needs an ice heart to live but the animal appears to be suffering greatly the man looking at it has a memory of when he said winter is coming and that he will prepare a desert-like environment to put the cub in then he leaves the cage towards the environment and the man is surprised the adorable animal looks at him the bald man sigh calling the bilingual a cursed boy and the man grabs a shovel
and throws it to ESO looking at him confidently while the Protagonist is confused seeing this the man asks if he didn't understand and tells him to get snow from outside the man insists that the protagonist is younger so he should do this job and if he's late it will be the end for the problematic dry while he picks it up in his hands throwing it into a container with water the Cub shows rapid Improvement after that seeing this the man with a smile on his face is happy but soon yell is asking ESO what he's
Waiting for the boy immediately leaves there running to get snow outside ESO is gathering snow the bald man tells him to dump what he gathers into the water tank seu asks if more is needed but the man orders him to keep Gathering until told otherwise ESO continues to gather the snow and put it in the water box the ice drakey looks at the snow fascinated while looking at the two adorably it's explained that draes are a rare species and yet there are some ice variants that Are not well known the adorable Cub Smiles at the
protagonist but the bald man puts the shovel in front of him and says not to start relaxing hearing this estu is taken aack and the man says it's not time to rest and tells them to follow him they go through a horse and suu says it has a thorn in its foot asking to separate them because they are very territorial the old man smiles and says the protagonist's ability is very good and gives him a bag telling him not To lose it the two then say goodbye esio seems to be bothered by something and Med
notices it the voices of the animals echo in his head and the protagonist says he can hear them clearly medra then asks if he's tired and esio replies it's nothing on the way he thinks about what will happen already remembering people calling him cursed he starts to tremble and crouches down Mau seeing this becomes worried asking if he's okay and if it's because of the cold Suki then Appears calling for ESO asking what he's doing because he doesn't seem to be injured Suki tells him to get up because otherwise he'll get sick from being in
the coal for for too long esio just says thank you and Suki asks for what the protagonist replies it's for not avoiding him Suki asks why he would avoid him the bilingual replies it's because the cat doesn't like to be touched Suki says it's obvious and that he hates being touched by people but Esio says that right now he was touching him however Suki interrupts him saying he's talking about the bilingual being different from other people and the S is surprised to hear this while Suki is walking away saying that no matter what he will
never avoid him NRA then calls for ESO saying it's that house from before from the bag that the old man gave to ESO Hawk takes out two coins and is surprised that the man gave not just one but two while thinking that the Protagonist really is good at what he does Hawk calls him and cheerfully welcomes him for being a member of idus and that he will give him a guild identification badge and a uniform telling him to wear it when making an order he turns around and says he'll get them already handing the clothes
to ESO Hawk explains that from the third floor onwards are the Guild's dormitories and suggests he check it out if he has nowhere to go NIU happily says it seems Good while the protagonist thinks that lying down that way seems nostalgic and some memories appear in his mind saying that it's no different from before looking to the side esio asks if n has already slept the sing replies no the protagonist asks if he regrets it and N responds what exactly ESO says it's for having followed him saying that he has a collar around his neck
with his freedom restricted and people stare at him and that it might be harder to move forward While thinking that of course NIU would answer yes and considers releasing him in the mountains tomorrow but NRA interrupts his thoughts saying that he's happy to be able to follow him and that he was so relieved not to be alone instead of hating others he can live while liking them hearing this esier Falls silent and then thanks him the protagonist learned to read on his own so he didn't know the meanings of some words but he understood one
that he Believes is the true meaning of bond the next day inside Aus in a room ESO is dressing in the Guild's clothes going down the stairs a voice calls him Hawk says he didn't recognize him and that the uniform suits him very well a woman appears and asks Hawk who the protagonist is and if he's a new employee calling her Rosalie he introduces esio to her Hawk explains that he joined the guild yesterday and will work in the support department but It won't be magic or combat support Rosalie is confused and questions since he
is an ability user and won't be in either of those Hawk replies that his ability is kind of special and therefore has not yet been decided so they will have to wait another day to get the answer while picking up a cup he asks ESO if he likes sweets he doesn't know how to answer so he does nothing then he takes one and Hawk says the protagonist knows how to have fun ESO doesn't Understand what Hawk meant he comments that most people don't recognize the taste but agrees that the ball-shaped site is the best as
he starts to show him how it's done and clearly the thing is sour rosaly asks esio not to mind because he is always like that he then looks at the suite and puts it in his mouth Hawk says he has a good feeling about this and at the bilingual will bring good luck to the guild while chewing he thinks that instead of being Tasty it just hurts swallowing the sweet a voice asks him if that isn't incredible it was Hawk saying that currently they don't know to which department the protagonist will be assigned so he
asked him to help them with the work a little Rosalie tells him to just go through the door the bilingual enters a busy room with lots of paperwork Rosalie asks if he saw a black rubber band because she's been looking for it for some time esio Replies no and she says it would be good to have one now he replies that he understands and the two are left in an awkward silence Rosalie says that since he has nothing to do she sends him to buy something Rosalie offers the guild stamp instructing him to stamp the
receipt instead of paying it should be a black rubber band and a unicorn feather outside esio is quite reaction after that while Niner reminds him of the things to buy Rosalie says they will Find these things at the General Store in that square and the protagonist thans her inside the store someone is on a ladder doing something esio asks for permission and the person seems to be looking for something telling him to look for himself and that she's a bit busy right now the person seems to find it and reveals herself to be a girl
with pink hair while hayo found what she was looking for upon noticing the presence of our bilingual she is surprised asking If he is a customer and why he is still there she upon seeing Mau panc screaming calling him a monster the girl then slits from the ladder opening her eyes she realizes she was saved by the protagonist and thanks him he tells her that it's not a monster and introduces him she's embarrassed to hear this in the arms of our bilingual she apologizes and says she's afraid of animals but it just seems to be
the pet of a dear customer ESO corrects her and says it's Not a pet automatically the girl apologizes then she asks if the name of his friend was NAU introducing herself with a smile on her face is Sil our bilingual very coldly asks for a black rubber band Kiss kit and a unicorn feather after that Sy is embarrassed and replies that she will fetch it while he looks at the item she was trying so hard to find Sy then asks for a second which makes him turn his attention back to her then she puts everything

can read your heart the protagonist asks if she refers to emotions she confirms saying yes it can be seen in the form of colors and questions if that isn't romantic he then turns around and says he doesn't need it and she doesn't believe and asks why the boy says he doesn't have anyone who wants to see someone else's heart and that the ability to read other people's minds is the most useless in the world hearing this she's a little surprised Saying that it even seems like he has that power while she looks at the item
in her hand leaving with Mau he arrives at the Imus Guild and Rosalie starts guiding him in the work the next morning hul calls for the boy saying that as he thought now he is part of the special support department and hands him a paper asking him to read it on the paper is written a request from a child saying that her puppy doesn't listen to her eser seems a bit disappointed with that Hawk explains that in the support department they deal with requests since it's not necessary to have combat skills or experience because the
main requesters are members of the nobility arbing will talks about the detail of the requests and and Hawk replies that it seems a bit vague it's also possible to bribe him with a gold coin and in this way it's possible to avoid the guild members cancellation request the protagonist wonders if it's normal for The level of request to be so low Hawk warns that it's difficult to please the Nobles and that if they don't like it they can end your life as esio says you will remember that Hawk tells him not to be deceived by
the girl's appearance wishing him good luck and offering that site thinking that maybe his first request for a dog will work out the protagonist reaches out to take the sweet and eats it saying The Taste is still the same in front of the Mansion Neu and ESO are found then they approach the guards and say they come through a request from The ignis Guild and the guard asks for the request form the guards quickly look at it and ask them to follow inside the Mansion a noise Echoes through his mind he thinks that compared to
other dogs this sound is different than heru appears the dog starts questioning him about why he came there and tells him to disappear the girl who made the request calls for the Dog and runs towards him about to touch him heru starts barking the girl becomes sad seeing her dog act that that way the protagonist just watches and says he is from IM miss her looking up the girl asks if he really is from the IM Miss Guild and esio replies yes in her thoughts she thought an old and muscular man would come and wonders
how weakling like the protagonist works in the guild then she asks his age as she stands up esio replies that he turns 17 this year And the girl seems to like hearing that but suddenly the dog starts barking looking scary NIU just stares at him with that deadly gaze and in an instant hero quiets down the girl is fascinated by the monkey and talks about his size the protagonist introduces Neu to her the monkey looks at her adorably which immediately charms her she then approaches and introduces herself as serin but everyone calls her Sarah however
the maids pull her away saying It's very dangerous since white fur monkeys are the Beast among beasts and tell her to only look at him from afar sarn doesn't like it but just obeys then she looks at our bilingual who doesn't understand and asks her what she is doing sarn says she heard he can read the hearts of animals and she orders him to find out why her dog is so hostile immediately arbing will looks at the dog and sees that he is scared because of muu realizing this essio asks him to Step back a
little opening his eyes heru sees the protagonist in front of him as he slowly approaches the two stare at each other and esio stretches out his hand towards him saying he needs to touch him because the ability will be Amplified he then takes off his glove and tells heru it will be all right and that he won't hurt him while the dog remains silent then he approaches and rests his head on the hand of our bilingual after touching him he manages To enter Hero's mind a dark memory is shown with a voice commanding OB saying
it doesn't care about the mother and just orders to get rid of her then someone takes heru's mother and he becomes desperate asking where she's going begging her not to leave him behind while the mother is being carried away someone stands in front of him while saying that small size is the trend among Nobles and that he needs to be small to be sold for a high price Ordering to feed him enough so that he doesn't die the mysterious person asks if he has Viscount fabine and asks him to wait a second because he will
wash him and bring him in an instant in a container they are drowning him while heru begs for salvation saying that the world is a cold and scary place and that humans took his mother and made him suffer suddenly a voice calls for sarn giving hiru as a birthday present telling her to take good care of him and She thanks taking him from the basket she spins him around calling him cute while calling him a precious little angel but her remembers the humans mistreating him and suddenly bites serin her father kicks the dog telling her
to get rid of him while she begs him not to do that because she will take good care of him the father says that a dog that bites its owner is just a wild beast and asks her how she will raise him and tells her to make a request to the guild And if even that doesn't solve it you will get rid of him himself the protagonist is speechless after seeing all this sarn then asks what he found and if hiru doesn't like something SJ replies everything and the girl doesn't understand the protagonist says that
hiru is afraid of all the affection she's giving him and that this puppy thinks that they never gave him love because people will one day kill him like they killed his mother hearing this Surum starts to become distressed saying that she is the person who likes hero the most and that if she had the ability to read Hearts she would have treated him better but estu says that just reading the heart isn't everything explaining that hu's mother was killed by humans and he was forced to starve to increase his value and a protagonist asks if
she ever thought about how to calm his fears sarn is incredulous that his mother is dead and esio explains That she was old and could no longer have puppies so they considered her useless and killed her SN says she didn't know and starts to cry she asks what she should do since she didn't know any of this Ester sees in her mind that she only had good intentions for hiru the protagonist then begins to activate his ability the protagonist puts sn's mind inside hu's and she doesn't understand it first hiru says it's kind of confusing

voice then says that he has an incredible ability the voice was Viscount feine sn's father and runs towards him when she sees him the protagonist remains unresponsive as usual the discount says he wasn't trying to spy on her and that he was just coming home but they could hear her crying from afar he says this while one of his sons stares at ESO and he stares Back seln embarrassed says she didn't cry that loud the Viscount says that unfortunately for her her older brother Jerian also heard fine says he's talking too much since they have
a visitor at the moment patting SN he asks the protagonist if he came from the imis guild he replies yes and introduces himself as being from the special support Court department for some reason Vince goat is not very happy hearing this and says that from his observations The ability Su used was quite unusual asking him what kind of ability it is exactly our bilingual replies it's the ability to read the hearts of animals febian asks if it's only animals and estu replies yes but the Viscount doesn't like that answer and calls him Reckless and he
asks if he doesn't know what happens if he lies in front of a noble the protagonist panics thinking he was careless while fabine says he's interested in what he considers an Animal asking what the limit is whether it's feelings or the soul and even about hybrids like Monsters and humans approaching he says that if the protagonist can't answer that his ability would be nothing more than reading Hearts sarin and Jerian appear surprised by everything the viscon is leaving when a thought from Jerian says that if ESO really can read minds he's a monster making the
protagonist anguish to hear that fabine then says that Reading the hearts of others is a fascinating ability and that he has met various ability users and many stories but none were as special as his while he asks if he understood what the term special suggests the VIS asks ESO if he understands what he's talking about the protagonist then panics imagining what this man might do the Viscount says that our Bing W has a job that only he can do in this world he was going to respond to something when he lets go of his Shoulder
and says he will send a request to the guild soon as he leaves our Bing will looks back and SN is coming towards him stopping in front of him she's about to say something sarn asks what his name is the protagonist introduces himself again and she says she almost sent him away without knowing his name but anyway she thanks him and says she will call him next time Jian walks towards the two and stands in front of sarin asking the protagonist if his ability has no limits He replies that he can't read everything and tells

was called gripping his gloves tightly he was lost in thought Neu watches him then they walk back to the guild and on the way the protagonist starts looking at the coin nju then says that humans are strange and SEO doesn't understand what he means the monkey explains that he is happy when our bilingual reads his heart because he knows his thoughts without Having to say anything the protagonist replies that this is probably the reason why they hate him NIU says that's why humans are strange and that ESO is not someone scary but rather the most
considerate of others NIU says what's scary is not him but the thoughts that humans hide AR bilingual stretches out his hand towards him and says that anyone who gets angry with him also gets scared or thinks he's a monster but esio says he doesn't care about any of that And that compared to when he was locked in the Attic now he feels truly alive a few days later our bilingual is getting ready already putting on his uniform he walks to the window and looks at the view going down the stairs a voice shouts at him
Hawk and Rosalie suddenly start applauding him then Hawk explains that the protagonist did good job and caught the attention of the Vince Cod from before Rosalie says that Nobles like special things and since ESO has a Special ability it was expected however this was faster than she expected already congratulating him with a big smile on her face our biling will remains unresponsive knowing what that Viscount might have planned asio picks up the letter left by him opening the envelope the information is then read it states that the Jefferson company which holds most of the gym
trade in this city is closing for some reason causing difficulties in the jewelry business Ordering the protagonist to look for the head of the company and find out the reason and that due to the resolution of the first request a guild coin will be delivered but if the second request is completed an additional three coins will be added esto seems uncomfortable with this but he calls Mau telling them to go he smiles saying he'll be right back outside arbing will wonders what to do when Neu calls his name and asks which way they should go
esio replies that They just follow the Main Street and that is from The Guild to the southern tip and muu asks if it's far the protagonist replies it's an hour's walk Neu thinks of something and calls him and asks if he should carry him NIU says he runs very fast and if our Bing will walks for too long he will get tired esto says no and that he will be fine but nuu is a little disappointed in his thoughts he says he just wanted to help but isn't good enough the protagonist Hearing this asks if
he should accept automatically magu is Happy already crouching down for him to get on ESO gets on and says he's in his care now and suddenly they start running at high speed Neu is happy and proud saying he's very fast and our bilingual agrees that it was a very good run looking at a place he gets off meu while the two see a shelf of various jewels and ESO says it's like the shiny stone and he doesn't understand why people go so crazy for it Knocking on a door he asks if anyone is home but
there is no response NIU asks what they will do now and the protagonist replies that the head of the company lives in that building so he must not have gone anywhere but he's not sure since there's a possibility he left there NAU is confused and esio then sits down seeing that it might take a while for the door to be answered esto sits in front of it worried nuu asks if he isn't cold and if he will continue waiting Confirming he says he is fine he Pats niu's head the sun is already set giving way
to a cold night his face looks terrible from waiting outside for so long he and Neu kept warming each other UPS suddenly the door opens and the man speaks to ESO shouting that he's crazy for waiting so long in this cold he thought ESO would give up and go back to where he came from ESO asks if he is Thompson the head of the Jefferson company arrogantly he tells ESO to leave Thinking he is sent by some Noble he about to go back inside but stops before doing so saying it's the first time he's seen
someone like ESO you could tell he was suffering from hypothermia just by looking at his face est's hand was trembling involuntarily concerned Thompson asks if he isn't trying to kill himself not wanting the front of his house to become a suicide spot he tells ESO to go to a lake two blocks away because it was warm and a better place To die ESO says he is not trying to kill himself making Thompson curious he abruptly grabs esu's hand magu thinks it's some dangerous action so she runs to hold on on to ESO Thompson shouts at
her for being dangerous by grabbing others suddenly like she did then ESO starts recalling information about Thompson he had a beautiful wife named teal having fallen in love at first sight with her when she agreed to marry him it seemed like a dream come true However after their marriage only painful things awaited teal their first child died on their first anniversary and then the second and third were a cycle of pregnancies and miscarriages Leia was the name of their daughter she cried energetically with the baby in his arms Thompson said that this child was was
born healthy but teal said she would die soon these words silenced Thompson and left a bitter taste in his mouth under extreme stress and depression teal Did not care for her daughter even after her first birthday and soon cracks began to appear in her marriage kneeling on the ground in front of his wife Thompson questions what she wants him to do crying he asks if she will let their daughter die too but he received no response after Thompson closed his company he gave his all to take care of his young daughter Thompson asks why he's
walking around with the creature like Ma you then esio speaks to Thompson And tell him that if his wife doesn't want to talk he just has to ignore her this phrase left him incredulous and scared he couldn't find the words to finish his sentence ASU advises Thompson saying that if someone doesn't want understand the truth they won't listen even if you force on them he had discovered the reason why the Jefferson company had closed but at this rate something bad could happen Thompson grabs ESO by the collar with both hands And throws him inside the
house with muu he locks the doors with a piece of wood then turns and walks slowly towards him threatening ESO he asks who he is and how he knows his wife Thomson's house fell silent once again he asks how he knows his wife esio introduces himself as a member of The igis Guild annoyed with the Nobles Thomson thinks they made a request for the guild to investigate him but looking at ESO he thinks he might be the worst member of their Guild Esio asks if NAU is okay siing Thompson says the Nobles are blind with
Greed for Jewels apologizing he offers his hand to help estu up he confirms he is the head of the Jefferson company esio looks at him expressionlessly and gets up from the ground on his own timidly Thompson asks what request he accepted to come to his door esio remains quiet for a moment but decides to speak he explains that his request was to help him reopen his doors Crossing his arms Thompson says The Nobles are becoming increasingly impatient he walks a bit around the house but stops and he turns asking if his name was esta and
asks him to wait a moment seeing that he got his name wrong esto corrects him and follows him they went to the dining room Thompson lights the candle on the table and asks if ESO would like a drink to apologize he supposes that young people like esio prefer sweet drinks like tequila with fruit or things of the same kind then he Grabs a bottle of wine from the table and drinks from the bottle after quenching his thirst he speaks to ESO and says he seems to lack manners in situations like this he should ask for
a drink to match the mood and progress with his mission but Thompson realizes that ESO doesn't need his friendship hesitant ESO says it's true Thompson says he mentioned his wife when he least expected it and advises him not to talk about people's personal lives like that Saying he needs context before speaking to others the mistake he made esio apologizes to Thompson for the way he acted then he asks why the guild sent him after saying he has no intention of returning to business ESO says so that's it seeing him being so passive Thompson feels apprehensive
he asks if ESO isn't going to ask his reason following what Thompson said esio asks why he doesn't want to return to business Thompson sees that he isn't even interested in him he Offers him a drink again esio remembers the previous advice and this time he accepts the offer Thompson notices what esto is doing suddenly he starts to laugh and says he's a funny guy leaving esio a bit confused Thompson begins to say that he loves his wife and daughter more than anything and wouldn't trade them for anything he hands a drink to ESO continuing
the story he says that years ago his wife's condition worsened and the death of their first child made Her never smile again slowly she stopped talking and after giving birth to Leah she never left the room once he tried to force her out of the room but she bit her own tongue but fortunately she didn't die Thompson drinks a glass before continuing and says his wife prefers to die than to meet their daughter after telling his story Thompson uses his hands to cover his eyes and starts to cry for his wife Miju watches Thompson's deplorable
situation With a sad face esto listens attentively to him crying without disturbing him and realizes that unintentionally his ability activated on its own Thompson stops crying and says he only came to see esio after putting his daughter to sleep and feels the story flowed feeling he made esio fail his first request he apologizes and says that at least for this year he doesn't intend to reopen his business and tells them to look for other product companies Thompson walks Past ESO but he decides to ask him a sensitive question esio asks if he will reopen his
company if his wife's condition improves this makes him hesitate and he stops walking esio says there is a chance he can help him Thompson turns to look at esio behind him as the two look into each other's eyes seio says he can complete this Mission he begins to remember the job they said only he could do in this world clenching his hand to gather Courage Asjo says he can make his wife leave her room disbelieving Thompson asks if he can really make his wife leave the room and asks how he will manage to do that
esio opens his mouth to speak but he extends his arm towards Thompson NAU realizes what he's going to do esto places two fingers on his forehead now understanding Thompson does nothing to interrupt esto concentrates to use his ability and eso's voice speaks in Thompson's head saying this is the Ability he has his cold eyes stare at his reaction not understanding what just happened Thompson is slightly scared he swats away eso's hand again he hears a voice asking him not to be afraid Thompson looks at ESO and begins to understand the kind of ability he possesses
he turns his gaze to Neu she asks him to believe that ESO is not a bad person with a pleading look on her face Thompson begins to feel bad about what he heard and he falls on his back To the ground looking at Neu he stammers saying the voice in his head was hers during the fall he spilled the wine he was holding on the ground asio looks at Thompson with a thoughtful expression he raises his hand to help him up and asks if he would let him help his wife speechless Thompson looks at ESO
and Mau in silence but he raises his hand to him and confidently holds his hand the two climb the stairs of the house the upstairs hallway is silent stopping in Front of his wife's bedroom door esio and NIU followed right behind him Thompson knocks a few times on the door and tells his wife that they have a guest but no one answers the door he places his hand on the door knob to open it and they enter the room the curtains Move With the Wind from the open window teal is sitting in a rocking chair
by the window she only had a dead fish look and a sad face ESO recognizes it as a vacant expression Thompson goes to the Window and closes it asking if teal isn't cold turning to look at her her weak hand was resting on the chair taking her hand he feels that they are freezing seeing his approach Thompson looks in his Direction esio asks for permission to start the treatment Thompson nods giving his permission raising his hands slowly to Teal's head taking the utmost care not to hurt someone as fragile as her concentrating on his power
seio closes his eyes Feeling that her mind is excessively silent he decides to go deeper into her head he begins to feel apprehensive because he has never had to adjust his strength before ASA starts to remember the past when he was younger and looked at other richer people he realizes it's the first time he will use his power this way the tips of his fingers begin to emanate his spiral energy the mind's strength begins to expand strongly esto feels a disturbance in the force the Interference in the physical world reaches the air a blinding light
appears then a dark swirling Aura spreads through the room Thompson Shields his face from the blinding light slowly he opens his tearful eyes and watches a new scene unfold before his eyes the Dark Mist begins to rise and the three find themselves in a forest they look ahead seeing where's around a fallen bucket with spilled wheat the axe stuck in the log and chopped firewood eser feels a Different vibration coming from behind Thompson notices his movement of turning around behind them there is a house a woman steps out the door to work on this hot
day the three were surprised by who they saw T was leaving the house desperately shouting for her Thompson was the most surprised person he says she looks like she did in the past teal doesn't seem to have reacted to his voice and continues walking through them esio says it wasn't his intention but They were inside her memories humming teal heads to work she wonders if she should go to the lake with Juan and relax instead of working teal was the daughter of a poor farmer her mother died before she could remember and her father died
after she had grown a bit the only ones left were her two younger sisters who needed her teal single-handedly supported her two sisters she worked in the garden every morning so toys for them on their Birthdays made crafts like pearl necklaces and others one day while she was working in the garden the Two Sisters brought branches for firewood and edible grass to eat Tila stands up to praise her lovely little sisters one of them givs her a white flower she found the youngest asks her to crouch down to put the flower in her hair these
were some of Teal's best memories then she fell in love with a guy named Juan he was also a farmer turning around Cheerful E's teal walking towards him they both talk about their days the moments they shared together were precious but poverty grabbed their hopes and threw them into the mud with only five coins in hand even having increased her workload teal was saddened that it wasn't enough to buy food and medicine for her sisters her sister calls her saying she heard that onean proposed to her teal responds that she has no intention of marrying
yet and tells her She has already rejected him three times and because of that they decided to break up wanting to make it clear to him that she has no intention of marrying before it's too late and so teal and dwan went their separate ways in a city larger than the village in the forest teal runs to make a delivery still having five more deliveries to finish by the end of the day she thought about skipping lunch to finish before the end of the day maybe then she could support Her family until the end of
the month suddenly a man falls dropping boxes on the ground seeing this teal decided that helping him was more important running to check his condition that man was Thompson he was very sick seeing these memories he remembers that this is the first time he saw teal she saved him back day and took care of him until he woke up slowly opening his eyes as he woke up he is startled by the person in front of him in his eyes she was the Most beautiful and kind woman he had ever met a Time junk shows them
the moment when Thompson proposed to her he had bought a very expensive ruby ring one day Juan ran to her in the forest he said he heard about her marriage seeing the ring on her hand his world collaps he shouts that he can't bear it if she abandons him taking a vial from his pocket te is frightened by the idea of him doing this because of her continuing the threat he says he can't imagine Living a life without her and keeps begging teal to come back with him her expression of fear is horrendous she tells
him to do what he wants because she won't go back with him turning to leave she says she has no more connection with him confused to see his threat not work and he tries to go after her but teal pays him no more attention she says she hopes he finds a good girl is happy with her unwilling to accept the rejection he takes the poison Hearing the sound of swallowing teal is startled she quickly turns to see Wan he had fainted after drinking the poison Thompson and ESO saw the scene of Jan drinking the poison
he had no idea that another man loved his wife esio says she didn't want him to know because she felt cursed by danan Thompson clenches his hand tightly and in the end he realizes that the reason his wife married him was for money asio says that it might be true because she rejected the poor Farmer and chose the man who gave her an expensive jewel he asks if his decision would change if she really chose him for that reason confused Thompson looks at him sideways esio asks if her decisions were influenced by money and poverty
would he exclude his wife from the two most precious people in his world answering no he also adds that his wife is the most precious to him he asks what has changed then Thompson says nothing has changed teal is still this precious Wife but thinking about the fact that she is still trapped in this memory it irritates him that she gave up the chance to had a happy life tearing up Thompson thinks that teal won't feel anything even if they're daughter dies and the memory of his daughter's birth is the next to follow from Thompson
asking her to hold her in her arms at least once esio says it's not that she won't feel anything but that she is already suffering Thompson confused asks What he means returning to the real world he explains that his wife thinks that losing her children in the same way every time is a way to atone for her own sins Thompson is in disbelief hearing this logic but he remains silent seeing that it was his wife's Choice slowly approaching his wife he kneels and says it's not her fault holding her hand he says that their daughter
will live well in the future that she won't die and we'll be waiting for her and Thompson Asks her to stop blaming herself and come back to them she has no reason to hurt herself and he wishes to Bear the same wounds as she does still with her vacant face Thompson doesn't stop talking to teal he repeats the same phrase saying that if anything happens they can both be hurt together suddenly the window glass shatters Thompson immediately protects teal from the glass shards he sees that his wife has finally return with her original expression his
Face fills with joy but Leia's loud crying interrupts this moment teal gets up to go see her daughter rushing to her room going downstairs to see her taking her daughter from her crib teal apologizes to her daughter for not being close to her when she was born Thompson places his hand on her shoulder from the sound of her daughter crying he recognizes that she is hungry and hands her a bottle feeding their daughter he asks if teal is also hungry finally they Had become a true family ESO leaned against the wall in the hallway but
his arm lacked strength and he fell to the floor startling everyone in this quiet City there weren't many people who could help Thompson ran through the city to the doctor half asleep thect doctor walked to answer the door upon opening the door he was surprised Thompson was carrying esto in his arms accompanied by teal and Mau esio was placed in a hospital bed a lamp was placed in front Of him the doctor opened his eye to see his reaction after examining him thoroughly the doctor thought for a moment he asked if ESO was an ability
user Thompson replied that he was and that he ended up like this after using his ability to help his wife given this the doctor said it was a problem with his ability and Beyond his expertise est's fever Rose higher with the doctor unable to treat treat him Thompson asked where they should go the doctor Responded that there weren't many medical facilities in gasia that could treat him his diagnosis was that using the ability had made him like this in most cases resting enough is sufficient they would observe until tomorrow but depending on the situation they
might need to ask for help from the Affiliated Guild Thompson sighed in relief and teal touched his shoulder turning his head out of curiosity he saw Neu beside the bed worriedly looking ATO the two Exchanged glances and thought for a moment cofy cleared his throat before speaking Mau held eso's hand on the bed they remembered how Neu had appeared in their daughter's room saying that Esa was hurt the two were shocked to see that she knew how to speak the human language concerned he looked at her crying with worry and Neu continued to stay by
his side Thompson said that since Leo was at home the two of them would go back first and would cover his Costs so they could contact him if they needed anything hearing this Neu calmed down she asked about the Guild's request that ESO had to complete looking at his wife Thompson thought T looked back with a smile on her face he said that for his benefactor he would reopen his business to cover his mission thanking him major nodded Thompson and teal left to return home in the hospital there were wheelchairs on a table there were
already medical devices Mau spoke to the Sleeping ESO saying that he had managed to fulfill the request the human he helped to return to normal as well she sat on the floor near the bed resting her head on her knees she made a wish that he would wake up and return home together with Mau the sun rose giving rise to another day the light passing through the window woke him up slowly esto opened his eyes he seemed recovered from his previous week Ness he sat up in bed still groggy from Recently waking up He looked
to the side to see Neu with tearful eyes she was very happy to see him waking up she suddenly jumped into eso's arms knocking him back onto the bed as soon as his condition improved the two left the doctor's infirmary he asked if he didn't want to stay another day to stabilize better he said it was enough since he had already been lying down for more than 2 days they returned home leaving footprints in the snow they arrived back at the ESS Guild reporting The success of the mission they were paid the senior said he

than her hiru only barked in response darten she said she still couldn't win against ESO then she asked why he was there seeing an envelope in his hand she realized that her father had called him there she said it was great to see him again and agreeing ESO only said yes Making her ask what he thought confused esio said it was not bad but this response made her curious if not bad meant good or bad as she pinched his cheeks curiously ESO asks if she isn't worried that he might read someone else's heart without thinking
she says she isn't worried he adds that he could discover secrets she doesn't want to reveal to others if she's not careful thoughtfully she says that could be embarrassing he says that maybe he could Even control her emotions but instead of being scared and she seems impressed as you questions if she isn't frightened she looks thoughtfully at his face then she asks why she would be scared as she knows ESO wouldn't do that her response surprises him leaving him speechless then the buter arrives apologizing to the young lady saying her master is waiting the young
lady looks displeased and the butler tries to calm her down she then bids farewell and tells esio That he cannot leave without seeing her before he goes raising her pinky finger she asked him to promise being led to the viscount's room the butler knocks on the door signaling his arrival permission is given to enter and estu appears while he is presenting to make the request the Viscount interrupts him asking if he understands cacti he was looking directly at one while asking this question it was a small Cactus and a pot in the middle of the
table Replying esio says he does not then the Viscount starts to explain that he finds it fascinating how a green plant grows in the desert where it's hard to find water since they are plants it's not like they'd help me to drink water to live but if you give them the same amount as a normal plant they can rot depending on who cultivates it its size and condition can vary greatly is a much more unstable plant than you think he concludes by saying that an owner who Doesn't know its value can easily kill it remaining
silent ESO listens attentively to the Viscount then he turns back to look ESO he asks him if he can read the interior of plants like he does with humans and animals taking the cactus in his hand and showing it esto observes intently towards the cactus the Viscount approaches with the cactus in his hand using his pow to the cactus mind suddenly a voice shouts that it is hearing too much noise ester's body Becomes very rigid upon hearing this voice on reaching his side he says it's hard to say that plants also have desires the discount
says this phrase while looking at the cactus in his hand he just didn't expect the cactus to actually have thoughts and kept saying that the Viscount talked too much feeling very uncomfortable estu just looks at the cactus in Silence the Viscount says he has no choice but that he has the right to choose who he will Serve as his master then he asks ESO to become his subordinate he's not just offering him a job the Viscount will also make him a member of the Fabian family curious he asks if he will become a soldier under
his Comm man the Viscount says he has no intention of using him as a mere soldier with a smile he opens his mouth to speak he intends to appoint him as an adviser gting a position where no one in this house can disrespect him and the only person he Would have to answer to would be Viscount Lemo Defan himself asio asks what he would have to do the viscot replies that it is something only he can do he places his hand on eso's shoulder and says that he only has to read the mind of the
person of his choice the cactus responds that these are the words of a manipulator and that it is surely a trap thanking him for the offer esio says he is already satisfied as a member of his current Guild the Viscount says There has been a misunderstanding this was not an offer but an order suu asks what he will do if he does not obey calmly limel says that nothing immediate will happen but that eventually he will get him sarcastically the cactus says that he could be a prophet with a confidence in those words bowing esto
says that if he wants him to change organizations he will have to discuss it with the guild seeing that he will not come on his own to this count starts to Think since he is not someone who would be easily influenced then decides to give him a little more time to choose he hands his Cactus to the butler saying he will put a prettier flower in its place desperate the cactus orders him to let it go but has no control over it the butler then asks esio to follow him to the exit as they walk
down the hallway lamenting the cactus said it had never pricked anyone before esio then asks the butler about the cactus and asks that if They are going to throw it away he would like to keep it the butler said that it was a difficult species to care for with many thorns and no flowers he asks if it's still not confirmed that the cactus doesn't flower due to his insistence the butler hands him the cactus the two arrive at a door and he asks ESO to wait while he calls miss serin the cactus kept saying it
would die of cold before being burned to death and even wondered if freezing to death was less painful Esio tells it that he will not kill it the cactus thanks him after hearing the human speak it needed a moment to process then ESO spoke to the cactus once more he wouldn't burn it or freeze it but since it was his first time seeing one he didn't know what the ideal environment was and he asked it to let him know directly when it's thirsty since it can hear his voice esio asks a favor to let him
know if it finds anything uncomfortable hearing eso's Kind words the cactus calls him God but he corrects it saying his name is esto the cactus says its name was a hakaru Haku plants usually have names that long esio gives it the nickname a heru Neu is impressed that ESO can even talk to plants he hears niu's praise and is pleased with her smile then he introduces her to aaru NIU says it's cute aaru thanks her for calling it cute and greets her as well with this Ham on a haru's head ESO says it's not as
Prickly as he expected it says it's being nice because it's ESO normally it hurts if pricked properly esio asks if that's really possible auru says yes but it still can't fully move its body curious about its words esio asks what it means by still a Haru says that if plants live long enough or if their will is strong enough they can move as they wish it is still young but its will is strong so it can control whether it's Thorn's prick or not while they were Talking someone arrives asking if he didn't tell him not
to return as turns his head to see who it is the viscount's other son is staring at him he approaches ESO asking if his memory is bad or if he took his words as a joke ESO was about to say that the Viscount had called him but he interrupts asking if he can also teach animals to speak besides reading hearts and calls him a monster in front of migu eso doesn't seem to like the way he is speaking to Them then he continues saying that besides raising talking beasts he wonders if ESO is also trying
to teach plants to speak his gaze turns to Neu analyzing her white body and red eyes saying that an animal that learned to speak could be very valuable he asks how much nuu costs esio remains Silent not responding even without a response the young man continues his provocation saying he will buy her from him thinking that with such a big body it would be Difficult for him to feed her hearing what the young man says auru becomes very upset and asks if he is stupid s says that naer was not for sale the young man
said the negotiation was over since he could be his mind then he hands over the 10 gold coins he had with him again he says that na was not forsake but the young man interrupts saying it's not good to be too greedy he asks how much he really wants for her expressionless SEO rejects his offer Saying he won't sell her this attitude irritates the young man he shouts asking how a commoner can refuse a Noble's offer and that he has been holding back from hitting him after ignoring his warning not to return ma was uncomfortable
with a shouting esio says he only came to the Mansion at the viscount's call the young man retorts saying he's quick to talk nonsense lifting him by the collar the young man shouts at ESO asking if he wouldn't have His eel heart this action irritated Neu so much that she shouted for him not to insult him startled by her shouting the young man releases esto he falls to the ground off balance nuu asks if he is okay asio lifts himself saying he is fine a small smile appears on the young man's face he says that
for the monkey's loyalty he will offer 30 gold coins the young man calls the three nearby guards and orders them to take Mau to the breeding field immediately esto shouts Saying for the last time that he will not sell Neo the young man becomes completely Furious and shouts saying saying he has gone mad for raising his voice in front of a noble esj remains silent because he could only stay silent in this situation he was surrounded by four Mansion guards thinking about what to do now that had come to this point one of the guards
orders him to hand over Mau but his arm is injured in an instant he hardly had time to react as It was so fast you couldn't see his screens are hurted throughout the house it was NIU who attacked him her hand was red and the carpet was stained the others were frightened to see this the young man clenches his hand in Anger saying he had the audacity to hurt a servant in the fa an house more guards arve to try to help pointing at ESO he says that he tried to kill him and to arrest
him immediately immediately the Trap is activated a net is thrown over Nuu capturing her next an electric current is activated paralyzing her she says that they were the ones who called her a monster before and asks how they can act more like Monsters than real monsters the guards raise their swords to attack her she Roars furiously to intimidate them the young man is frightened by the roar then the discount arrives at the scene and asks his son Jerian what he was doing irritated he looks at his son and says that he caused Something that would
naturally be under his control if he hadn't interfered his son tries to explain but he tells him to shut up then he tries to calm himself by taking a deep breath he orders the knights to capture esio alive but says he doesn't care what happens to Neu the knights position themselves to obey his command they activate Fire magic with their hands magu is frightened and warns esio about the magic the Viscount and his son look at them expressionlessly ESO tries to remove the net from magu she apologizes to ESO because she just wanted to stay
by his side then he tells her that she doesn't need to apologize major says that this seems to be her end and then she lowers her head accepting her fate all the guards had finished preparing their attack magic and released it the Fire magic caused a great explosion in the hall the Viscount and Jerian Shield their eyes from the smoke and in jian's mind he thinks that Nothing would have happened if ESO had accepted the money then a shadow appears in the Smoke esio says that the one who needs to apologize is not Neu but
rather the Viscount and his family both are surprised to see him survive the explosive magic he orders them to get rid of esio the guard behind him prepares he tries to use his magic again this time his body is strengthened increasing the size of his muscles with his power in his body he attacks ESO From behind however our protagonist's eyes shine he makes eye contact with the attacking guard an inexplicable source of fear begins to arise in him he slowly backs away from ESO and points his sword at his own heart this got limel asks
what his Soldier is doing but is too late and he goes for the kill strawberry juice splashes on eso's face he turns to look at the others the soldiers beside him start to feel fear this time he doesn't use his power to attack the Soldiers feel an emptiness inside them and immediately drop their weapons falling at esu's feet everyone around him fed on the ground esu's face hardens as he looks at the floor terrified Jerian falls to the ground he looks at the Viscount and Jerian then lady sarin arrives descending the stairs and sees the
entire scene indifferent ESO stands among the bodies of the soldiers she raises her hand to cover her face but the shock was so strong that she faints On the stairs LEL immedi medely runs to save her from the fall holding his daughter in his arms he tries to make ESU feel guilty asking if he is satisfied then he asks if he wants more blood to be shed ESU wonders why he should hold back even with the suffering in his childhood and up to this moment when NIU was mistreated the reason to hold back never existed
he clenches his hand even now if he wanted to he could kill him then he tells the Viscount that He will stop saying that it is good that he has a friend who understands and in return asks him to pretend that nothing happened here frightened the Viscount looks at him doubtfully Jan calls ESO a murderer and complains that after everything he did he still wants them to pretend that nothing happened turning to look at Jerian ESO tells him that he is not asking but that he is ordering them to forget with Terror in his eyes
dreian goes into shock then he also faints the Ground all the members of the Fabian family are unconscious at this moment someone calls ESO from behind it was a black cat named Suki the cat starts to transform and grows in size as well becoming a magnificent black tiger he asks why ESO is standing still since he cannot carry nuu alone immediately ESO removes the net from her and places nuu on Suki's back he also tells ESO to get on his back but esio says that sukii will only get more tired and prefers to Walk sukii
says that carrying him along is not a problem so esio says he will be in his care then they start running out of the Mansion running in the middle of the night out of the Fabian territory esta catches Suki's attention along the way he responds by asking what it is this sad look he says that it seems he really is a monster besides reading people's hearts he can also control them and even make people die but despite this he didn't feel any remorse in his Heart he knew what he was doing was wrong but he
didn't feel fear or sadness stuki asks so what if he didn't feel anything and says that if it were him he would have killed them all he says there is no reason to feel fear or sadness for those who hurt someone important to him and even calls him soft esio says that in the end the one who was hurting others was him Suki says he might have felt a little sad because he didn't want to hurt anyone heruru asks to say Something too saying that there's no way someone can be a monster if he cares
so much about being a normal person or not and even if he's not so what there's nothing wrong with being a monster if he likes a talking monkey and a cat that transforms into a tiger then heru realizes he said more than one thing and apologizes for talking too much at the idus guild the manager is shouting a person with bird wings apologizes saying that it was an order from the superiors And he curses the messenger calling him a pigeon the messenger corrects him saying he is an Aven and not a pigeon as an Aven
is a birdman species the secretary arrives to calm the manager down then she takes a look at the letter he received it's a summons order from The Guild requesting eso's presence she wonders if the royal family pressured them or if someone from HQ thinks ESO is a dangerous ability user but he had been missing for almost 10 days and there Were still rumors about Viscount Fabian the manager says that ESO is not someone who would hurt another person the secretary speaks to the manager and he calms down to listen to her she says that SEO
had returned he apologizes for taking so long to come back his clothes were dirty and wrinkled the manager tries to gather words to say something but looking at eso's face he realizes something May may have happened then he raises his arm towards him and puts his Hand on his shoulder saying he did a good job seio asks if he won't question him about the details of what he did obviously the manager sends that he will have to submit a mission report he has no idea how worried they were when they couldn't contact him anymore the
messenger clears his throat with a cough then the manager says is a relief he returned since this job was a bit complicated and they have had many cases where they lost valuable people in vain Curious the manager asks where esu's partner had gone he asks which partner he is referring to and the manager says need you esto says she got a bit hurt so she is resting she is almost fully healed but they are taking it slow relieved the manager is happy that he wasn't hurt much he tells ESO to go back and says he
can submit the report in up to 3 days but the messenger calls their attention again and says it will be a complicated situation the manager asks What is so complicated he just asked a guild member to rest after completing a request the messenger opens his wings inside the room ESO confuses him with an angel upon seeing's pair of wings the messenger that announces that ESO must go with him to headquarters still admiring those wings esio is left speechless then the messenger says they have to go right now without wasting any time they get into a
carriage ESO is being taken to the headquarters on the Way he remembers the conversation he had with manager gayian he responds that he cannot refuse the decisions of the headquarters while he is still part of the organization sing the manager says that this is true eser feels very grateful and also feels sorry for the manager but he is happy to found another place to go while he is resting a Haru says he has understood something SU opens his eyes and looks at him clarifying auru says that he understands What is wrong with ESO he doesn't
know how to say no and is always obedient to the will of others a heru advises him to always say no when he doesn't want or hate something the messenger asks what's wrong with ESO since he can't hear a heru certainly has reason to be concerned and while ignoring the huru our protagonist responds that it's nothing even after thinking so much without sleeping ESO ignores his advice making him irritated asio speaks curtly Telling a huru to be quiet after seeing him talking to a plant the messenger becomes curious he asks if ESO can talk to
plants and he says yes impressed the messenger asks ESO to demonstrate his powers by reading his mind but our protagonist finds the messenger irritating while resting Neu adjusts herself on the carries sofa she grunted a little while she slept asio looks at the messenger and starts reading his mind having been startled by nuu The Birdman with THS he looks at nuu feeling both admiration and fear being devoured while esio reads his thoughts and speaks aloud Amazed by our protagonist the Birdman thinks he should have asked before having his feelings of embarrassment revealed the messenger screams
and apologizes to him asio asks if he is still curious and the messenger says no and that he can stop NAU had woken up from the Birdman's scream noticing this ESO tells NAU she can Still sleep more because they have a long way to go she then asks our protagonist if he has already slept esto replies that he slept a little seeing his tired face Neu tells him to sleep with her as his pillow when he refuses NIU grabs him and she puts him on her shoulder ESO thanks nuu for her comfortable shoulder seeing that
the messenger was curious he asks him what he wants to say without hesitation he says that the three of them seem like a Family they were suffering from rain on the way because it was night he asks if ESO is not cold and says he can raise the temperature if he prefers even with all the messenger generosity and offering another blanket or something to eat ESO says he is already very comfortable he starts comparing it to the attic he used to live in and thinks that this Carriage is much more comfortable suddenly he misses the
suits in the manager's office the rain Continues to fall without stopping the carriage protect Ed them from all the rain AO watches the raindrops dripping on the glass auru realizes that this is the perfect weather for telling ghost stories still awake asio sees a huru wanting to tell stories he pokes one of his spines while thinking that humans are scarier than ghosts suddenly the messenger moves during his sleep and starts snoring very loudly perplexed ESO cannot believe what he is seeing then Neu's ears hear something she wakes up immediately after hearing the noise noticing Miju
wake up ESO tells her that if she woke up from the snoring she can go back to sleep Mau say she heard something approaching the carriage but it wasn't human or animal and she had a strong bad feeling she immediately opens the carriage door and warns that a horde of Monsters has appeared and they are completely surrounded as he wakes up the messenger asks how many enemies there Are the soldier says they are harpies with high compatibility harpies are monsters that should not appear in Winter which surprises the messenger when hearing about the monsters a
soldier says he doesn't know why the harpies have awakened but they cannot Escape because the horses are not fast enough Neu says she will help fight these monsters ESO was going to tell her to wait but she quickly leaves the carriage before that she tells ESO to Stay and wait in the carriage but he doesn't know what to say being left behind like that the rain seems to have stopped but the sky is still cloudy apprehensive the guard is still nervous even with eso's partner going to fight the harpies alone the Birdman says he is
just a mailman and has no combat ability ESO gets up from the carriage and says he will help the mailman says that ESO is not the fighting type either he agrees but says he has no intention of Fighting the harpies eso's cold gaze makes his body tremble noticing that I's gaze is different from before he becomes a bit worried if ESO had no intention of fighting he thinks that ESO wanted to become Harpy food along with his friend after realizing his intentions he goes after ESO to inform him harpies are wild beasts that move in
groups unlike avens like him harpies are not enemies that can be defeated with Brute Force alone he asked esio to listen to this and not Get himself killed after dealing with a few harpies meanwhile Neu was fighting the harpies alone He suggests they flee while they are not being massacred but something from above alerts him he sees a flying above them she looks down and sees her prey heading directly for the Aven frightened he can't think of dodging he prepares for the collision with the harpy but not feeling the pain of the blow he opens
his eyes to see esio had jumped in front of him blocking The monster's attack the harp was attacking eso's shoulder it seemed like she was biting his shoulder instead of pecking worried about him the messenger screams in horror the blood from eso's wound was Dripping the fragrance entered the Harpy's nostrils even the other harpies that were not fighting looked more closely then all the monsters gathered the harpy attacked in fiercely again Miju punches the same one that was attacking ESO with all her strength her Attack easily disoriented it sending it flying with mayu's strength worried
she asks if ESO is okay even while bleeding he responds that he is she asks about the blood he is losing compared to his life he says is nothing the messenger thanks him for saving his life the other harpies begin to attack magu warns that more of them are coming thoughtfully ESO wonders if he can handle this against several monsters then he activates his power his blue eyes shine and he orders The heartbeast to stop moving the activation of his power even affected the trees the harbe stopped moving in the air and he questions whether
he should kill them but he decides to send them away they all start flying back to their nest the messenger wonders how he did that it was the first time he saw a monster obey a human's orders esto tells them to return to the carriage Neu says he is as kind as ever that'll bit apprehensive the messenger decides to go Too they ignor leaving behind an unconscious Harpy after that the mic became quiet Again The Messengers still questioned how the group of harpies had left so quickly seeing 's Feats he wondered why the headquarters was
looking for him getting into the carriage he asks NE you to be careful esio asks if she was hurt in the fight while looking at ESO the messenger thought he was a dangerous being it was still night but the sky was clearer The Carriage could be seen under the Moonlight stupy says that ESO is annoying he woke up in the middle of his sleep and sees Suki and his cat form on top of him he tells ESO to go back to sleep and not wander around getting bitten by monsters again he apologizes for being careless
Suki tells esio not to apologize and to stay out of trouble so he doesn't feel the need to apologize to him while dozing off ESO looks at Suki on his lap with his back turned Suki asks him not to hurt anyone the next day the carriage was moving again aaru was happy with another beautiful morning he wakes up esio who was lying on the sofa then it is noticed that ruds had grown under uhuru's pot standing up ESO asks if he knows how to walk now jokingly auru asks if he is shocked to see a
cactus walking out of nowhere right after waking up he says he was also surprised then a shadow covers him it was na who was excited to see auru Walking she congratulates the two and they greet each other still quite sleepy a messenger wakes up he sees auru and meu playing together and says that eso's friends are quite peculiar even seeing a cactus walking doesn't surprise him as much after all scaring off a flock of harpies is more impressive to him then he remembers the events of the previous night staring at ESO he imagines that it
wouldn't be so surprising if he had a dragon as his ally the messenger Stretches as he gets up seeing the messenger's Wings U says they are cool this comment embarrassed him but also makes him a little happy they continued on their way on the dirt road they were having breakfast when ESO thought of a Haru he was walking around the carriage enjoying being able to move ESO asks if he needs water to feed himself but he replies that he doesn't because he's already full curious ESO asks if he has already eaten then auru starts Explaining
asking our protagonist about the injury from the previous night esio listens attentively to what he will say auru asks if he wasn't bleeding a lot since the wound on his shoulder was very large remembering he says he was indeed bleeding a lot lot the blood was running down eso's body until it splashed on a heru then he says he drank some of the blood he shed the atmosphere becomes a bit too quiet when ESO hears this he lists a huru from the ground and asks to Confirm if he really drank his blood huru says yes
meu and the messenger only hear ESO talking to himself since they can't hear a huru agitated a huru asks ESO not to get things confused as he didn't drink his blood on purpose besides being able to move more freely a flower also grew on his head expressionless ESO looks at him and asks if the flower grew after he drank his blood in his mind the messenger says that ESO should be more worried about The fact that a normal plant drank his blood and learned to walk because of it then auru gives the flower that grew
to esto as a gift happily he thanks him for the flower he received araru says that he should be the one thanking him suddenly the flower begins to Glow with a golden light then a flower disintegrates on his arm and starts to disappear with its traces the two become extremely sad with a gift that vanished surprise auru starts looking at eso's Arm now the flower light started to shine on his arm everyone began to look at the glowing arm slowly the light starts to fade and esto touches his wound to check it he removes the
dressings and bandages and discovers that the flower had healing properties very happy auru begins to boast ESO asks Neu if she saw Suki visiting them the previous night she replies that Suki had been with them since last night in the carriage now he seems to be lying on top Of the carriage esio begins to reflect that the event of the previous night was not a dream he puts his clothes back on and opens the moving carriage door he leans out and stands outside worried the messenger says it's dangerous to do that with a moving Carriage
ESO tries to talk to Suki as he knows he's up there then Suki appears when called because is dangerous to stay on top of the carriage iio asks him to come inside unconcerned sukii sits looking at him he starts by Saying that esio is more dangerous than he is now then he jumps into the carriage esio closes the door and the messenger is surprised to see a cat confused he asks if ESO is Raising this cat denying his question ESO says that Suki is not a cat with an owner but he is also mastay cat
the messenger thinks to himself that it must be another of U's friends sui asks who the man is and our protagonist introduces him by the name of Parker resting his head on eso's Leg he asks if his wound is better he replies that thanks tooru's help he was healed curious Suki asks what Cactus can do esio says it was a healing ability when he was about to say something about Suki following him he says he wasn't following him and just saw him injured while he was traveling given the situation iio asked the cat to travel
with him from now on his tail stops out of hesitation he begins to remember when esio held him in his arms and he felt a Warm embrace because of this supi says he will continue following him only because he asked knowing his emotions ESO thanks him Suki realizes that he has changed but says to himself that this change is not bad finally The Carriage stops and everyone arrives at their destination Parker calls ESO to look at the portal that connects to the headquarters it had a golden Border in its inside was a mix of red
violet and purple colors the guard identified their Identity and says that for security reasons the portal can only be used three times a day asio didn't hear the side effects of the portal Crossing as he looked at one for the first time in front of him he walked slowly towards it and begins to cross it without speaking to Parker he closes his eyes due to the sudden light on his face and opens them again as he gets used to the light he was in front of the headquarters the others followed behind after he entered Parker
welcomes ESO to the headquarters he climbed a spiral staircase in the middle ESO felt as if he were walking to the sky on an infinite staircase as he climbed he began to wonder if Paradise was really in the sky the people with power and wealth and the people who help them he wonders if things will get better if he keeps climbing shaking his head he pushes those thoughts away finally they reach the top of the staircase esio says it was quite quick Parker responds that the staircase is like a portal and also says that esio
should meet the Guild Master but he has been absent for almost 3 months instead it was decided that he would meet the vice master in his place when he finally reached the office door Parker presses its doorbell there are a few moments of Silence while they wait then he realizes why it is Tak so long Parker says the vice Master is sleeping again confused seio asks if he is really sleeping Impatiently Parker starts pressing the doorbell repeatedly the door opens abruptly from the inside nearly hitting luru but esio pulls him away carefully they are stunned
by the door opening a horu starts to react realizing that his head could have been taken off by the door curious ESO wonders where a cactus's head is the vice Master appears holding a sword yawning he asks who's interrupting his sleep noticing Parker in front of him he looks at him saying He didn't order chicken from room service Parker repeats to the vice master that he is not food auru mocks in for not denying the chicken part Parker gives up on him and finally says he brought a guest the vice Master is curious about what
guest he has he doesn't remember inviting anyone and asks if no one is working downstairs saying he will cut his salary for waking him up Parker becomes very irritated with him the vice Master tells him to Leave so he can go back to sleep but amow catches his attention then he seized Suki mean he in heals to take a closer look praising the cat's cuteness when he's about to pet the cat's head it turns away and walks over to ESO who was waiting Parker introduces ESO as the member of their gasia Branch the vice Master
stands up upon seeing him he says that Parker called him a guest but actually brought the leader of his Guild when leki introduces himself to ESO as The vice Master they shake hands and leski says he's finally meeting the leader from the rumors asio is curious why he is being called leader leki then invites them into his room a completely disorganized Place despite the beautiful Furniture incredulous auru calls this place a pigsty major worries that if he enters he will end up stepping on things leski enters and tells him not to worry since he doesn't
mind if they step on his things noticing that Neu speaks very Well he asks if he is also half human surprised ninu asks how he knew but leski says it was a guess he kneels to n's height and says that it was actually a joke Lei says that supposing he were an animal he would want to learn to speak the human language to converse with other humans esio consents that leki is a very different person inside and out he offers a coffee but U politely declines and apologizing to our prot an Agonist lesi thinks he
might be At the age where he doesn't like bitter things and thinks chocolate might be better in his mind ESO says he didn't refuse because of the bitterness the coffee and chocolate are ready after a while on the table there were also some cookies to accompany them he receives a mug of hot chocolate Ley comments that the leader is still quite young esier says he has already had his Coming of Age ceremony but lesi responds that a true adult doesn't retort when called Young but thanks Parker catches the vice Master's attention curious Lei asks what
it is he responds that he seems like an old pervert who likes to play with children so it would be better to stop that behavior shaken by this comment he starts talking seriously and says it was the guild Master's decision to summon the leader to the headquarters esio understands but is still in doubt why is he called leader leski says it was the master's decision to name him that and He is just passing on what he was told he doesn't know the exact requirements to become one either these words don't provide answers to Parker and
eso's confusion esto begins to wonder if the guild is a trustworthy place they act overly secretive and their stance on things changes constantly but despite all this they still haven't lied esok can use his powers to notice this and feels a bit more relieved leki warns him that he will be in charge of different Missions than before Su asks how different they will be he responds that they will be special missions that only the leader can do then a smile appears on his face after explaining that the special missions can only be completed if the
leader does them ESO becomes thoughtful about the origin of this new nickname something is thrown onto the table between them a pouch containing a gift for his promotion the tag has had esu's name on it leki says that inside Are his new uniform emblem and other things like supplies and coins Mau starts to peek inside the pouch then he says there's something else but it's just out of his curiosity it has nothing to do with the gild master leaving ESO confused leski says he was curious about the power that made the leader so famous and
he asks for a demonstration ESO remains quiet for a moment he picks up his sword that was next to the sofa in another moment leki is feeling powerless Kneeling on the ground he can only laugh at his situation asu's hot chocolate was put back on the table The Other M had fallen to the ground spilling coffee leki considers himself a fool for having considered fighting esio the moment he picked up his sword to test his strength he launches surprise attack on him surprised ESO did not react to his attack confused Lei wonders why he is
not defending himself suddenly a sword appears with its blade at his neck but Esio had not even moved from his place then he realizes that he himself was holding his sword to his own neck he couldn't move esio says he heard leki wanting to see his power with his eyes glowing he asks if that demonstration was sufficient losing his strength leski falls to his knees on the ground dropping his sword Crossing his legs on the table feeling awful just remembering that he lost without even fighting he curses The Guild Master for not Explaining better to
him esto is more of a dictator than a leader wondering how the master expects him to contain someone stronger than him lesi feels that not being devoured will already be a blessing but a smile appears on his face he becomes excited to see that a new era has begun after walking through the gild building's corridors auru becomes was extremely happy to see a new pot quickly he jumps into the new pot changing homes esto says it's great that A Kuru liked his new gift he starts looking around the room it was a very chick room
belonging to a noble they even had cat houses for Suki and a bed for Neu and the porcelain decorations in the room were very beautiful ESO thought they didn't need to prepare all this for him excited Neu shows esio the new clothes he had received besides boots and other clean sets of clothes Neu tells him that they are not just clothes according to the paper he is reading They were coated with magic possessing self-cleaning properties temperature control shock absorption and among many other things esio begins to wonder if Miju wants to start wearing clothes too
he asked Neu to wait a bit saying he will go out to see if he can find clothes that fit him in Suki Neu and Suki say they don't need clothes but suu says they might get cold or feel embarrassed to walk around naked Suki says nowan he's driving him crazy Suki Explains that since they have fur and only clothes major starts to explain that people need to wear good clothes to receive good treatment that's what humans call status this was the first time ESO heard of this word he wondered if it would be better
if he had status responding to him muu says that people will like him more if he has status as you questions if having a high status will make others like someone more after all not Everyone likes the king magor Responds that at least people won't be able to attack him publicly he says he will protect ESO but it will be a problem if people stronger than n you threaten him NAU remembers when he lost his mother esio remains silent in response he needes and raises his hands to him placing his hands on 's collar removing
the collar he says he will leave it off while no one is around because being chained all the time must be uncomfortable Neu says the chains Don't bother him when he walks so he wasn't bothered but esio says he feels uncomfortable seeing him wear that supi jumps down for eso's shoulder esio thanks needu for bringing him the clothes and for being happy for him and he says that she doesn't need to worry anymore realizing that his ability is getting stronger esio discovers that he can now make anyone meal before him even that strengthened soldier from
the Fabian house was no match for him and Even had no control of their bodies ESO feels that is quite convenient clenching his hand he realizes he is a more selfish human being than he thought Parker appears in the dining hall announcing that ESO has a request he hands him a letter with the guild seal interrupting his meal ESO thanks Parker a Feather Falls into his soup Parker says he is paid to make deliveries and asks if he has gotten used to the headquarters he was getting bored with The Comfort but now SEO feels relieved
to have received a request emotionally Parker begins to call ESO by his new nickname leader and says he is very diligent esio invites him to have lunch with him and Parker accepts even though they call him leader ESO doesn't exactly know what he has to do so he opens the request information and reads the name Hager in the letter aaru says he recognizes that name it's from a new family of Dukes in the nation the head Of the muan family is the son of the current Emperor and possesses incredible physical abilities esio asks if aaru
has met him and he has answered yes curious nuu asks what auru said to him ESO says that auru has already met their next client nuu begins to praise the cactus saying it is an amazing plant aaru thanks her and also says that nii was amazing then he says that the muan he knows is a bit crazy aaru says he doesn't know much but he knows his Swordsmanship is very good es asks if he is just strong but huru says no muban is very strong after all before becoming the head of the family he defeated
a well-known swordsman with a single blow moreover he also triumphed against many monsters and defeated everyone assimilating the information ESO realizes that even someone as strong as this makes requests to the guild Parker returned with his plate of food to have lunch with ESO our protagonist says that He will like it but auru notices feathers in the soup and warns ESO he Pats the cactus's head and Parker looks confused a while after they finish eating esio starts reading the request description as he expected there weren't many specific details ESO asks if Parker is done he
says yes then gets up and leaves apprehensively Parker looks at ESO he comments that he has noticed esio is a very reserved person esio asks him what he meant by that memories of people Calling him a monster and expelling him returned to his mind then esio begins to remember that it's been a while since the last time he AE with someone else walking through the guild corridors ESO walks at a calm pace and Parker follows right behind apprehensive esio stops moving he turns to look at Parker and asks if he still has work at the
headquarters Parker replies that the letter he had just delivered was his last request and he has nothing else to Deliver for now suu asks if he was given it break Parker says no this confuses him noticing that seio seems not to have been informed yet yet Parker asks to be sure if he knew what the superiors had told him he asks what they said Parker replies that he has now been transferred to his team confused esio asks about the team proudly Parker says that he will now be part of the leader support team this means
that he is now eso's subordinate and Parker raises his hand For a handshake hesitating s says he understands what he said they shake hands as he thinks about the unexpected way he gained a team member and a subordinate simultaneously sjo begins to see himself as a leader as his nickname suggests Parker worries he might have overwhelmed him too much then esto says that first they need to pack their bags curious Parker asks where they are going esto says they are going to meet the client mubbi and R Hagar they appear Again at the teleportation portal
Parker arrives at the portal and says it's just as he thought while carrying a huge suitcase on his back he asks if camping equipment will be necessary esio and Neu stare at him uncomfortably for carrying such a heavy suitcase esio says they won't be camping but Parker says he brought snacks he shows salted crackers and baked lemon baguettes those were limited editions snacks that he bought with his own money and he was willing to Share them with suu because he is the leader but our protagonist politely declines this leaves Parker tearing up the sadness then
the portal guard informs them that haer's territory is out of their reach so he will have to send them to the reox underground cave Parker is concerned about the part about being an underground cave the guard activates the portal and wishes them a good trip ESO and the others walk to the portal and cross it already used to it He just walks to the portal Parker can't help but feel scared of Going Underground like that afraid of being left behind he runs after them asking them to wait for him they exit safely inside the cave
he keeps looking around in fear then a voice comes from behind Parker scaring him a lot he opens his wings to fly but hits his head on the cave sealing knocking himself out everyone looks at the Fallen Parker the bump on his head was making him see Stars the older man says that Parker is quite an energetic pigeon then he introduces himself as the poral manager Su asks if they are in the Reno's underground cave surprised by eso's politeness he comments aloud he says that no one has visited this cave for a long time so
he asks what they are doing there esio replies that they are heading to haer's territory the portal manager warns that there are hardly any adventurers who go to that land of death Intrigued by this comment esio asks why haer's territory is called that answering him he says that the emperor did not want to keep his talented cousin close to him since he was someone who surpassed him in everything the manager asks a rhetorical question about how much of a Nuance he would be to the emperor then he points to a path in the dark cave
he says that even though it is the only base connected to Hagar no one knows what is there Parker curious asks Why no one knew the manager says that means he will let them pass but will not guarantee their safety leaving Parker scared the territory that the emperor gave to the Duke was a land full of deadly monsters summarizing the emperor's Story the manager says that the kitty was just scared and very afraid of his own cousin while hiding behind ESO he sees the manager laughing at his own joke esio starts looking around and then
looks back at the Manager he realizes that he is neither scared nor Disturbed then esio begins to use his powers the manager approaches them warning ESO to be careful and tells him to do his best not to attract the attention of the fearful King unless he wants to be devoured before even cracking the shell of his egg esio asks him to pass a message to the emperor he will gladly accept his welcome and that when the time comes he can speak freely with him without the need to hide then He walks straight disappearing into the
Cave's Shadows the manager stood silent then he starts laughing uncontrollably he repeats eso's words speak freely without the need to hide the old man begins to peel off his skin mask and yon appearance is revealed magic lamps light up and illuminate the cave esio and his friends walk cautiously Parker shakes his head showing that he is very nervous seeing the frightened look on his companion's face ESO timidly apologizes For not knowing he was afraid of underground caves Parker asks how he knew but then he remembers that esio can read his mind esio apologizes for doing
so without asking for permission but Parker reassures him saying that it's not a problem since he is the leader Parker says it's not fear but a racial trait this information intrigues ESO who wants to know more avens are a race that normally lives in high mountains and Hills because of this they feel Uncomfortable in places where their freedom to fly is taken away that's why Parker's reaction was that of a scared person in a narrow place like this his race has difficulties since this tunnel is directly connected to the Hager territory sdo says it shouldn't
take more than half a day of walking to reach their destination he took the liberty of choosing the path through the cave due to the Daily limitations of using the portal this method is certainly more Efficient but esio says it's his fault for choosing a loone without consulting and his team members Parker disagrees saying that he is the leader and the leader only needs to give orders upon hearing the word orders ESO hesitates he asks if Parker will follow his orders regardless of his will hearing Parker's confirmation seio thinks this is no different from controlling
his mind unconcerned Parker says it's not against his will he's here because he wanted to Follow ESO after all not only is ESO his superior but he was also the one who saved his life asio responds that he only did it because his life was in danger tooo but even so Parker thanks him as he would have died if it weren't for ESO while they were talking NAU sense something ahead his growl made Parker afraid the sound of monsters could be heard from the dark front of the cave esio asks Neu to confirm and he
responds that there are several monsters And they are fast hearing this conversation Parker gets scared he asks how close the monsters are Neu says they are right below and the ground begins to crack at that very moment the yellow creature reveals its form recognizing that silhouette Parker stammers as he says the monster's name finally discovered by the Earth it is revealed to be earthworms confused ESO wonders if they are giant worms horo gets excited because it's the first time he has seen These monsters he says that as long as they don't attack first the worms
won't be aggressive using his two little arms to gesture auro points at them saying they are just watching the earth worms remain in the same hole they came out of without attacking and to add aoru says they have no reason to attack they are neither carnivores nor herbivores curious ESO asks what they eat and he responds that it's dirt with its mouth open the worm puts some dirt into its Mouth then it starts chewing the dirt esio and Miju watch this scene disinterestedly but Parker's reaction is still out of a scared person huru teases him
calling him a little crying chicken even though he cannot be heard after some time observing the worms esio says they are letting them pass crying Parker asks if they aren't going to eat them but they respond that the worms probably don't eat humans without fear he walks in a straight line and to calm his Companions he says they were just curious because it had been a long time since someone crossed this path surprised seio says he heard them say they were responsible for the construction of this cave after passing he calls Parker come to his
side too but Parker was still very afraid of being swallowed by the worms they still squirm without having any idea of the young Evan's thoughts his body trembled just by being close to them seeing his Friend's difficulty ESO thought of helping him but Parker says he doesn't need help he was just going to ask the little monsters to move to the side but it seems he missed that chance Crossing that bed of worms proved to be a difficult task in the end Parker and Neu got completely dirty with dirt and monster dropping esio says it
doesn't smell that bad but Parker disagrees seeing Parker's lying face he realizes that even a powerful ability user like ESO cannot lie after passing the earthworms Parker realizes he misinterpreted the information about the rinox underground cave the story is that there aren't many visitors because there are monsters that attack people but even though the worms smell bad and were strange they still behaved nicely ESU asks if he is still afraid even knowing they won't attack Parker responds that they are so disgusting that they are scary unlike Parker he says he found the Worms cute climbing
up to where they were just to see them and wriggling their large bodies has been 3 hours since they entered the cave Parker supposes they must be close to their destination and says he wants to get rid of the bad smell as quickly as possible sensing a freshwat scent nuu says there is water nearby he points in a direction where he can feel clean water and hear the sound of a waterfall at the end of the cave there is a bright opening Entering deeper into it they can see a waterfall inside the cave when they
encounter the waterfall in front of them they are fascinated by the place and decide to approach it esio needles taking some of that water in his hands and confirming that it is clean he warns his companions to be careful just in case completely ignored by Miju who then jumps into the water without a second thought the group who were apprehensive because they didn't know if there was Any danger there now breathes a sigh of relief seeing that they really seem to be safe Mau calls esio to join him in the water and Parker reminds him
that he should take this moment to bathe the cat as well who doesn't seem very happy with the idea because he doesn't like water but since he might even get sick Parker keeps insisting on the idea of a bath while Suki listens to everything and curses the boy calling him a damn pigeon with no choice Suki decides to bathe on His own even against his will but before he could put his paws in the water he is suddenly grabbed by something that pulls him up making him end up in Parker's arms ready for a dive
he uses his super flying di technique and plunges into the waterfall with the cat in his arms ESO who was also entering the water notices that after diving his cat is now perched on top of Parker's head with his face submerged in the water quickly he he runs out of the water and hides behind ESO near the entrance of the waterfall the cat furious with a pigeon for what he had done starts complaining and esio says that at least his fur is clean now and begins to dry him off meanwhile Parker gets up and asks
Suki if he like the surprise which spread in his life while being held in the protagonist's arms sgo warns that Suki was startled by his behavior and that he needs to apologize to him because of that promising not to do that again without The cat's consent Parker awkwardly apologizes putting his hand on his head saying that next time he will warn him about the super dive before doing it and SEO reminds the group that they should get back on the road because they have no time to lose at that moment a Hu tries to draw
attention to himself saying he's thirsty and the boy responds by saying there's water right next to him but apparently that doesn't please the little Cactus who seems to want Something else to feed on sgo then asks what it could be and auru explains that it's something stronger with a unique and delicious texture making the boy wonder how the cactus's diet had changed in recent days while he thinks about it auru then decides to place his hand on his companion asking him to raise his spines the cactus doesn't quite understand at first but he follows his
orders anyway and pricking the boy's hand blood begins to drip into his pot Parker who was approaching esio bringing his cloak asks what he was doing when he sees the scene in front of him ESO informs him that he's just feeding the cactus and that His companion doesn't need to worry about the bleeding in his hand with the huru satisfied they head out while talking about who might have made that waterfall Parker assumes that the place wasn't created by the worms but by another being that once lived there SEO asks why he thinks that and
Parker explains that caves like that usually already have owners living inside for example Tigers wolves or even dragons the protagonist not knowing much about the subject asks curiously if Dragons also live in caves and Parker continues giving details also informing that the body of a dragon is much larger than the cave making it unlikely that one of these creatures lived there before he also mentions the two forms that the strongest dragons among the Draconic beings possess one being the creature's known form and the other that of an ordinary human and is surprised asks if Parker
was really saying that dragons liveed transformed as humans in the past unable to believe it and Parker continues his explanation saying that it was as if these creatures had two bodies being a race truly loved by God as the Sacred Scriptures said that the form of man was the form of God dragons also had a second form that was created based on The Divine form but to truly confirm all of this they first needed to find one esio was unaware of all this because he had never been to a religious Temple before which surprises Parker
because in his view all illers should have a small place of worship in their homes the protagonist explains that he lived in a very poor place in a mountain town and even though the inhabitants of his city were loved by God in the end they didn't really matter because no matter how Strong they were they all ended up being extinct without leaving a single trace behind Parker corrects the boy saying he seems to have misunderstood the information explaining that it was actually the opposite the dragons themselves had abandoned this world and gone to another place
and although they were called Guardians these creatures were the top predators of the food chain with no one powerful enough to subjugate them ESO asks if they hadn't been killed By humans feeling confused with all the new information and Parker replies that it wasn't possible the real reason was actually the Unstoppable progress that humans possessed leading to many subsequent Wars because of it the dragons who observe everything wept as they watch their world become corrupted until God decided to give them one last Choice the creatures could either stay as guardians or leave this planet and
go to another home by their own will which Ended up being their choice none of this was truly proven only told through the sacred scripture that he knew the only thing truly proven was the love that God had for Dragons possibly even greater than his love for humans and suddenly NAU interrupts the two saying that something was coming towards the group clenching his teeth he says that the new creatures weren't as friendly as the worms having bad intentions in the darkness of the cave they see something Moving and some Paw start to appear revealing a
pack of cave wolves in front of them who seemed irritated Parker scared says that they were probably just passing by but auru without lowering his guard informs esio that the creatures seemed more sensitive at the moment due to the hunger they felt while they were talking trying to analyze the situation for a possible confrontation one of the Wolves appears above them already making the first move nju knocks out some Wolves holding the cactus in his hands while the rest of them had already surrounded the group from all sides then one of them charges aiming for
his blind spot but with his instincts awakened he perceives the wolf's movement behind him and turns ready swinging his left arm towards the animal's head he hits it squarely and ends up with blood on his claws the wol wolves stare at him seeing what had happened to one of their own an SEO takes advantage of this moment of Distraction to Counterattack with his power the Wolves then sit by his side while Miju runs towards him pleased with his Leader's action Ester seems unwilling to sacrifice the Wolves there for nothing discovering that they lived in a
pack instead he takes possession of the Pack's leadership causing the Wolves to howl towards their new Commander after a long sign of respect from the Wolves they bow to the group accepting them as their superiors who then decide To head towards their destination right after finally cleaning themselves in the waterfall nuu was already dirty again because of all that but he didn't care because to solve the problem he just needed to clean himself again Parker and nuu introduce themselves to each other to get to know one another better while esio a bit further ahead finally
seems to have found the exit a small opening in the cave shows some trees on the other side in an open grassy field Looking ahead Parker is Amazed by what he sees a giant White Castle with blue details at its tips and an entrance gate in the center pointing towards the adventurers they wonder if they've arrived in the territory of Hagar the place which was so large that it almost looked like a small City also had some guards armed with Spears spread across its walls seeing some cannons ready to be used resting on the ground
ESO wonders if that place was really the Territory of hgar the ground suddenly begins to tremble making Parker think that an earthquake might be happening but Mau familiar with the situation asked them to observe a detail turning his head to the left as if pointing in a direction a March of soldiers on Horseback of flag's raay hide was advancing towards them many of them were soldiers and man who seemed to be the commander of that group approached leading all the others Parker surprised By the number of soldiers in front of them comments on the situation
as they draw closer asking ESO if he is the leader of the ignis guild to which he then responds the man informs that the Lord is expecting the boy to enter the city while being escorted by the guards the workers who lived in the area on seing this unfold are astonished by the situation and noticing that a member of the Idis Guild was present they are impressed with the group which at first Glance appears to be very strong they then wonder why they had suddenly appeared appeared if it were for a battle they would be
ready to help the group immediately and they begin to show how much they love the place they live in by raising their fists in the air ready to fight to protect their City this catches eso's attention for some reason he comments that the territory is wonderful and the soldier questions what makes him feel that way about the place To which he responds that it is because of the hearts of the people around him concluding his statement he continues thinking and shares a bit about how he feels seeing the residents react in that way it was
something he would never do because he had never felt the desire to protect his homeland in inside the palace we finally see some chandeliers hanging from a ceiling far above them of the staircase below and some windows with artwork of people forming a Three-dimensional image from the protagonist perspective as they climb the stairs the guard in front of them suddenly apologizes to the group then says that from this point on only their leader is allowed to continue describing the rules of the place and how things work with no choice ESO decides to go alone to
the meeting which makes NAU uneasy about the situation not wanting the group to be separated but the boy tries to calm His companion saying that He would try to be as as quick as possible asking them to wait for him just for a few moments and nothing more NAU agrees but makes it clear to ESO that if anything happens he only needs to call out staying alert for anything that might occur Parker also chimes in saying that he would take care of everything there but before he can finish his sentence ESO closes the entrance completely
leaving the pigeon literally talking to the door not caring About his words this makes Parker sad and major now has to take care of him even worried about his companions being alone for the first time he continues walking thinking about the situation he starts deciding what to do when out of nowhere is surprised by a huru who appears right in front of him jumping Non-Stop and seeing the cactus he remembers that nuu used to hold his companion most of the time but for some reason at a specific moment he had Disappeared from his hands while
pondering this he interrupted by a man sitting at a table in front of him wearing glasses who was holding something in his hands and asking if he didn't already know the boy ESO approaches him and they begin to converse until the cactus also catches the man's attention appearing right beside him introducing himself saying his name and then he was a real Cactus the man disturbed by the scene tries to Scream but his desperation is so great that he chokes on his own voice the first time and the second time he lets out all his despair
with a scream that could be heard throughout the entire city akuru also starts screaming back at the man because he ends up getting scared by his reaction together turning the place into a complete mess seeing all of this SEO closes his eyes and puts his hand on his head due to the situation that had suddenly gotten Completely out of control some guards enter the place running asking their Lord with a the problem was which makes him regain his concentration as he looks at them surprised he then calms down and explains that nothing actually happened asking
them to return to their posts the soldiers not understanding anything ignore the screams and obey the Lord's order returning to their places and closing the door of the place as they leave the man then begins to talk to the Cactus thinking that the leader was actually him and tries to start a conversation with a huru still impressed by what he could do even though it was just a plan the cactus indignant with the man in front of him asks if the man was stupid who simply ignores his insults calling him rude and seeing this person
in front of him huru declares with full certainty that the idiot talking to him definitely couldn't be a Duke esio interrupts the two and Introduces himself as the true leader of the guild asking about what he had mentioned earlier regarding already knowing him the man then looks at him and claims that it was actually nothing continuing the conversation the man says he wasn't aware that esio could disguise himself as a cactus esio explains that in fact he hadn't done that but is suddenly confronted as the Man reveals his real doubt asking random questions the man
seemed to be trying to gather Some information from the boy without him realizing it at first showing himself to be quite intelligent because of this ESO is surprise and questions how much the man already knows about his life the man tries to change the subject saying that it was just a guess while analyzing the boy and noticing that his presence in the place was indeed significant he then finally decides to introduce himself as muan AR haar after introducing himself he extends his hand To greet him with a small black sword hanging at his waist ESO
also introduces himself on behalf of his Guild shaking shaking mubi's hand who then mentions that he is curious about one thing turning his gaze toward a Haru he is intrigued by the cactus wanting to understand better what he inadvertently calls a monster hearing this aaru gets irritated and starts chasing the man around the table which leaves muan even more confused by the small creature esio Calls His companion closer extending his hand and the cactus immediately runs towards him obeying his command he asks the Duke if he could also hear what heru was saying at that
moment to which muan naturally replies yes then counters his question by asking why he wouldn't be able to do that esio with this presumes that muan has a similar ability to his own but muan informs him that he doesn't actually have such an ability adding that he doesn't even know what the boy Is talking about and that if he had heard it his sword might have been understandable because he had carried it for a long time asio not understanding the reason for this becomes curious about the information the Duke explains that some connections grow stronger
Through Blood and he considers the possibility that the cactus might have ingested his leader esu's blood earlier finally deducing what happened there he then begins to explain that it was Definitely eso's power that allowed the plant to be heard by others and these abilities could be activated in various ways but if enough blood was consumed you wouldn't even need to ask a cactus to do anything surprised by all of this ESO responds to the man who seemed to know more about him than ESO himself who now tries to clear up the misunderstanding by saying that
he only had some information about the boy that had been gathered over the years with This new information ESO begins to wonder if other people might also have that ability registered and muban promptly responds that they're actually worth saying that it was all just a hypothesis giving some information about traits that were passed down through his family over Generations esio is confused by what he hears from the Duke and suddenly muban draws his sword pointing it at ESO and then mentioning two specific characteristics black eyes and A monstrous ability with the speculation among the people
in the place it was rumored that the Hagar family might be direct descendants of the black dragons hu upon hearing the man's words isn't surprise at all saying that it was actually the man's ego that was too big the man hearing this tries to say something but ends up putting his hand on his head as if he was starting to feel unwell seeing this ESO asks what happened to the Duke who responds that He could feel the essence of the black dragon Awakening in his veins the scene leaves the huru still uncertain about the man
urging them to leave quickly muan then apologizes saying that it was just a joke and that he wasn't a black dragon with everything being just old rumors that existed he explains that these rumors were also related to his request to the guilt Su asks what that request was and the Duke hands him a blue bag informing that he would like ESO to find a true descendant of these dragons the protagonist is taken by surprise by this request while Nubian points his finger and continues his speech saying that if the boy helped him for a month
that request would be considered fulfilled regardless of the final outcome and then asking him to follow without worry esio was confused about the Duke embarking on an adventure leaving his duties behind but it seemed that he had already planned everything In advance he also mentions that he isn't a combatant leading estu and ask if he would take a guard with them on the journey the dup responds that he doesn't need one while highlighting setting the sword at his waist because if they consider only swordsmanship he was the best fighter in the entire Empire the more
time muru spends near the Duke the more disgusted he feels calling the man cringe with every phrase that comes out of his mouth the Duke Concludes his speech by warning that if anyone dared to interrupt his work it would be they he should worry about their own safety no matter who they were he heads toward the door and as he touches the doorknob ESO hearing his thoughts where the man even shows a willingness to face the Supreme Emperor questions him asking the real reason for that that specific quest of his and guessing that the boy
had read his mind excited by the idea the Duke explains That the request wasn't from the Duke of that Nation but rather a more personal request from him ESO now seems to understand his objectives better as the man reaffirms that his family wasn't of draconic lineage but that there was indeed Black Dragon Blood mixed in his family's DNA because one of his ancestors had ingested it before gaining such Powers he then opens the door he was holding finding eso's group waiting on the other side conversing among Themselves commenting on the similar ities between the group
and a cactus which irritates auru once again esio begins walking towards them ready to start the journey and asks the Duke what their first destination would be upon leaving but confusingly the man seems not to have a place in mind saying that over the next month he would actually just be observing ESO he then reveals that he is in fact the person from the black dragon lineage that he was Searching for the protagonist is surprised by that claim and Everyone Falls silent for a moment upon hearing the Duke say that he continues his story stating
that the natural powers of black dragons with shadow attributes are based on mental energy that dominates the desire for life he explains that ester's abilities were too similar to be mere coincidences esier finds it hard to believe what he is hearing while the Duke admits that he only called him There because he assumed the connection he might have with the dragons and with that said he informs them that he will be accompanying their group for a month cutting the scene we enter another location we see someone searching for muan who turns out to be a
woman in a blue dress with long red hair in what seems to be an image from mubi's mind we see someone approaching him to conver warmly the person who turns out to be the same woman from before appears to be Caring for the boy who seems to trust her quite a bit with the child in her arms she begins to tell a story about the blood of Drivin flowing in the boy's veins which immediately piques his curiosity excited to share this she explains that it was a gift from the black dragon known to be the
most noble and beautiful in the world the boy confronts the woman saying that his grandfather had told him a different story about dragons no longer existing On that planet she contradicts this Theory explaining that dragons could indeed have disappeared from there due to all the problems and complications that arose but it was said that the dragon who shared its blood with their family had not yet completely left that world and the proof of this was their family lineage which had always possessed great strength because of it the boy with all his innocence is fascinated to
learn all this and asks if The dragon hadn't died at old age and she explains that being the Guardians of that place they would neither age nor fall ill making it impossible for one of them to die and as she bids farewell to her son who is getting ready for bed she concludes the story by saying that he was certainly protecting every everyone they're from somewhere muan doesn't believe her because he doesn't want to accept the fact that the drive-in was really protecting them personally Because that would mean they were weak in the end compared
to a dragon humans were indeed too fragile but if they lived diligently continuing the Legacy and history of their family they would be the last evidence of a dragon's existence in this world curious since he was a child muban then asks why the dragon decided to stay while all the others chose to leave smiling she responds that it was because the creature's love for humans was too great Nubian suddenly wakes from his sleep and rises in the camp realizing that he was just experiencing a memory he places his hand on his head esio who is
also awake asks about the dream muan had as if he knew something the Duke is startled that the boy was still awake at that hour and ESO tells him that he had also just woken up like him not understanding how ESO had seen his dream Nubian asks if he was talking in his sleep or something similar but ESO explains that he had Slept normally seeing the protagonist standing by the camp fire they continue to converse until Nubian begins to recall jera again for some reason although the woman in ESO were completely different they still shared
some similarities in their personalities as could be noted they resume their conversation and ESO explains a bit more about his basic ability which is the power to read the hearts of others he mentions that when someone starts having A dream due to a significant memory sometimes even against his will he invades that person's dream knowing this muan then connects the dots realizing that esio had witnessed everything he had imagined while asleep esio then compliments mian's mother on her incredible beauty which seems to please the Duke who appreciates the compliment for someone dear him he says
that she was a very wise person even though she was no longer present in this world he Had asked the boy if he wasn't going to go back to sleep since he had only rested for an hour Esa responds that he suffers from insomnia and recalling some disturbing scenes that troubled his mind nuan also says that he had slept enough deciding not to close his eyes again that day everyone in the group except for the two of them is sprawled on the ground asleep around the campfire muan continues talking a bit more with ESO about
his dream and then about his Stepmother named cheria she was his father's second wife but he thought of her as his true mother since his biological mother had died shortly after giving birth to him he refers to Jia as his beloved Little Star just as she used to Callin when he was a child remembering this dear person he seems to recall things he failed to accomplish in the past he tells the story of the day when a monster Invasion occurred they suddenly appeared in the city with the Fall of night and while muan was searching
for his stepmother a bloodstained claw could be seen he then says that everyone had died that night except for him after that he lies down on the ground feeling dejected and comments that if the dragon really exists he would ask it what he needs to protect now that there's nothing left wishing he didn't have all that power he seems to lament his life saying that if Everything was going to end like that he would prefer the Hagar family lineage to disappear esio noticing that mubi's mind was full of thoughts interrupts his train of thought by
simply telling him to rest after all since there was nothing left to protect he could at least take the opportunity to sleep peacefully from now on and that if a person didn't sleep well many F thoughts like the ones muban was having would invade their mind hearing all this muban Begins to question a few things about the boy beside him saying that the day's nightmares had finally ended and trusting him he recalls that the boy could hear the hearts of others falling asleep shortly after and gaining even more understanding of what he had already discovered
about ESO the night passes and a new day Dawn as a meal is being prepared at the camp muan wakes up again after managing to rest and he is surprised by the boy's mental abilities Having slept for so many hours straight after a long period of his life in which that wasn't possible a heru approaches him upon noticing that muan had woken up and without wasting much time starts insulting the Duke as he hadn't taken a liking to him before they exchange a few quick words while Parker approaches from the background calling everyone to eat
bringing some bowls of food in his hands he informs them that today's dish would be corn soup with cheese and ham but When Nubian receives his meal he doesn't see any of the ingredients mentioned by the pigeon and asks what it really is Parker then tells him that it's actually milk soup with potatoes cheese and broccoli changing the description entirely leaving the Duke confused about Parker's cooking abilities he asked Parker if what he was just some kind of mush with whatever was left in his bag but the pigeon denies it saying that his 20 years
as a cook wouldn't allow him to Make something like that mban seeing the boy's appearance curiously asks how old Parker is since he has 20 years of experience in the Kitchen Parker responds that he is 21 years old Having learned to cook in his first year of Life starting with making his own baby food the cactus contradicting nuan's doubts says that it makes total sense because by Oney old it could already fly around on their own this prompts Parker to share a few more details about Himself while proud boasting about all his skills mub Cuts
him off and then asks where the group's leader is Parker looking away and pretending not to know the answer awkwardly avoids the question he tries again to get information from Parker who responds that there's no problem with the leader wanting to be alone especially after hearing the story about his abilities being similar to a dragon's mubin asks when ESO disappeared from the camp and Parker replies that It's been a while but since ESO is the leader nothing bad would happen to him the Duke starts trembling with fear explaining that the area is still not a
safe place regretting not having worn ESO to be careful Parker is surprised by this information while muan explains some details about the surroundings of Hagar containing various types of potential enemies and because of that without a guard accompanying the group only muan would be able to ensure Everyone's safety focusing his vision he tries to see through the trees of the forest to locate ESO fortunately spotting him within moments relieved that nothing bad had happened Parker suggests that they should go find their leader as soon as possible but muban volunteers to do it telling them to
wait there he takes a giant deep into the air surprising the pigeon he advances carrying his sword in his right hand until he begins to smell blood in the Area he then approaches ESO asking if the boy is okay esio turns to see who had arrived the Duke finds some cave wolves that were not common in that area and asks why those creatures were with ESO not understanding the situation he imagines that it might be the result of eso's mental domination and asks simply if ESO was ready to leave the Duke mentions that they were
still having lunch and esio decides to return to the camp however curious about the boy m Questions what he was doing isolated there esto shows him an injured wolf in his lap that he had found earlier inside the caves it's pack lived in the cave but after they left with the group they had suffered greatly at the hands of humans muan says that it makes sense because for the Hager territory wild animals would be considered a problem and thus they had to be eliminated the renox cave system was the only route linked to the outside
world that hgra Territory had and to ensure the safety of the area it was necessary to remove the beasts and monsters after all if no one did this defenseless people trying to is that the territory would be devoured by them ignoring eso's situation muan simply advises him to leave them there to live or die as it wouldn't make any difference in the end but then noticing a strange smell muan realizes something different and asks ESO if he'd have fed the injured wolf Pup with his blood asio responds that he did saying that in a previous
case his blood had helped another injured animal hearing this the dukee tries to warn him that it wouldn't be a good idea to give his own blood so easily because if he really was a dragon descendant his blood would have the power to tame living creatures and turn them into the black dragon's personal Guardians realizing that he was saying too much muban advises him once again to not help the Wolves and let the pack fend for themselves from now on although he agrees with the Duke's words ESO seems to find a solution to the problem
on both sides suggesting the possibility that the Wolves could promise not to harm the people of Hagar anymore and then questioning the Duke asking what the animals would gain in return for respecting this agreement mugan recalls that long ago the black dragon would intervene in disputes between humans and Non-humans perhaps bringing him closer to his real objective Nubian explains that merely promising that the Wolves wouldn't attack the citizens wouldn't be enough instead he offers them shelter and food in his kingdom in exchange for their strength after sealing the agreement everyone returns to the camp at
last Parker is startled by the Wolves now following ESO and muan as they return together esio informs the group that the Wolves would be her new companions from now on along with the Duke but Parker seems hesitant to trust the pack and is reluctant to share his food with them while the pigeon complains need you approach is the wolves with a cheerful expression he speaks to ESO noting that the animal in his arms is just a pup to which ESO agrees adding that the poor creature was also injured with a bad feeling the boy had
taken the pup from its mother to try to save its life Worried about its condition he asked Parker if he could help by checking on the wolf Parker agrees to help as long as no surgery is required and laying out his materials on a cloth spread on the ground he begins the treatment within moments Parker notices that the wolf had no visible wounds on its body if a pup of that size had really been struck by an arrow it would pierced right through the animal But the spot where the wound should have been showed something
so Minor that it didn't seem serious at all the wolf's body temperature was also normal indicating that it was just resting to regain its energy with this diagnosis Parker asks ESO if he was really sure that the wolf had been hit by an arrow and ESO responds that he wasn't certain as he hides the arrow behind his back ESO stands up saying that he might have been mistaken or confused it with another wolf he tries to conceal what had really happened so That his companions wouldn't know about his abilities while newbie in silent ly observes
everything noticing that muan was aware of the arrow he was hiding beneath his cloak iio asked the Duke to remain silent Nubian not understanding why the boy didn't want his companions to know that he was indeed special stays quiet time passes at the camp and as the fire dies down we see Suki sleeping in the trees someone then wakes the cat by calling his name informing him that they Would be leaving soon as he turns to his companions he now sees a group of wolves staring directly at him Suki upon seeing this ask why those
Vermin were present as well as explains that they would be their new traveling companions the cat jumps on eso's head not fully understanding the situation asking him if those wolves were new comrades esio replies that the wolves are the new residents of hiber who could now legally live there licking his paws supi calms His instincts and asks the boy what their next destination would be mub interrupts the conversation saying that he had already decided on the next destination though he hadn't informed the group feeling a bit awkward about it Parker asks when he made that
decision and muban responds that it was at that very moment turning to sgo of muan asked a few questions about his homeland already knowing some details about his life sgo says that his village is called Selia and the Duke upon hearing this declares that it would be their next destination everyone is shocked by this and a heru who already disliked the man becomes even more displeased calling the duke it pervert after trying to figure out his intentions esio asks why muan would want to visit his homeland and muan begins to explain that at first he
only intended to observe the boy but from what he had noticed ESO didn't know enough about himself yet knowing this Muan wanted to meet the people who raised esto believing he could discover more about him that way esio begins to recall moments from his childhood remembering that in fact the people who raised him weren't his real parents but that wasn't the real issue the real reason was that he didn't want to meet those people again closing his eyes with a fearful expression showing no empathy the Duke approaches the boy who seemed more emotional and tells
him that he Should follow the client's request without complaining asio regains control of his mind and agrees that the man was right setting off towards their next objective time passes and they arrive at a branch of the ESS Guild called cayia upon entering an establishment they are greeted by the guild manager named Hawk who asks his leader if he had been eating well recently seeing all the formality in Hawk's tone when addressing him seio asks his old acquaintance to Speak to him as he used to before hawk tries to explain that since ESO had become
his new leader he was now his subordinate but ESO interrupts asking him kindly to drop the formalities with that Hawk feels more at ease and asks the boy how he's been doing apparently happy to be visited by him unexpected they begin to chat as they walk and Hawk mentions that he always knew ESO would become a star because he had a good eye for such things now treating his friend Normally the guild manager starts jokingly asking ESO for a raise or some rewards for his highquality service a girl suddenly appears covering Hawk's mouth to stop
him from saying those things in front of the guild leader and introduces herself to ESO the girl asks ESO if he is indeed planning to go to selia in the river region she reminds him that the mountain is quite far from their current location and the group actually has a challenging journey ahead If they were to to walk it would take a long time to get there so she and Hawk offer him a carriage the boy thanks them for the help and they decide to spend the rest of the day resting there as night approaches
estu is seen sitting on his bed thinking about how everything there is exactly the same as it was the day he left suddenly there's a knock at the door the boy asks who it is but receives no answer ESO wasn't expecting any visitors so he approaches the door Cautiously wondering who it could be but the person opens the door suddenly revealing it to be the girl from earlier named Rosalyn she asks ES if she interrupted his rest and he responds that she didn't rosaly then asks if seio knows how to ride a horse he admits
that he has never learned which is unfortunate since the guild doesn't have any carriages available having already rented out all they had with only horses left she could provide some for the Group but since he doesn't know how to ride they would need to consider another option esio informs her that it wouldn't be a problem since the duration of the request is a month giving them time to travel on foot rosalin still wanting to help offers to gather some guards to accompany him but estu declines the girl doesn't quite understand his refusal so ESO explains
that even though he isn't skilled in combat he is accompanied by his client who has self-proclaimed Himself the strongest swordsman and can rely on him for safety during the journey muan who is e dropping on their conversation becomes irritated at esu's use of the words self-proclaimed feeling mocked rosalin on the other hand is pleased to hear this and says that if he needs anything else he just has to ask Parker then raises his hand taking advantage of the conversation and mentions that he has something to share with them he points out that the group's Food
Supplies are running low and their utensils are also too worn out to be used again suggesting that it would be a good idea to replace everything with new items Rosalyn asked Parker to accompany her to the office so she can explain the Guild's procedure for obtaining those supplies the two leave chatting and muban takes the opportunity to announce that he's going to visit the weapon shop the group bids farewell to the Duke who remains standing in front of them then Admits that he doesn't really want to go there alone glancing at ESO the boy tries
to explain that he doesn't know anything about the weapon shop even though he's familiar with the people and places there this makes M being curious prompting him to ask ESO more questions about it ESO explains that he was never a member of the combat Guild having only worked in the support Department's special division so he had never needed to hold a sword or anything similar Understanding esio better the Duke asks if the boy has no idea how to use a weapon to which ESO responds that he doesn't still curious muan asks more questions about eso's
childhood noting that it wasn't spent in a rural village where hunting would be a common activity esio informs him that he never had the desire to go out and Hunt beasts muan seizes the opportunity to ask if esio had ever killed anyone before causing the boy to avert his gaze and recall Some moments from his past with soldiers and bloodstained Blaze on the ground esio responds to the Duke that yes he has killed humans before hearing the boy's response muan realizes that even though ESO presents himself as peaceful he still possesses a certain resolve for
someone who claimed never to have broken a chicken's neck he shows himself to be capable of taking a human life if necessary even though he isn't a combatant newbi acknowledges that the Boy has great power but but insists that it would still be better for him to carry a weapon during a journey humans are more fragile than they seem muan says adding that this should be considered a client's request which should be followed as an order resigned to go to the weapon shop estos siiz and asks Neu and auru to wait for Parker to return
right where they are Mau expresses a desire to go to the shop as well but esio declines telling him to Rest a bit there as they part ways huru looking at Suki asks why the tiger is coming along esio explains to the cactus that Suki would follow him regardless so it would be pointless to try and stop him sui pleased that his leader knows him so well confidently joins them with no one daring to interfere with his actions the two of them walk to the shop when they arrive Nubian opens the door looking for someone
inside a man appears surprised to see someone in the shop and Asks who had entered the Duke responds that it's just a customer the man then stands up and realizes that he had forgotten to lock the door before starting to clean the place he then says that he wouldn't be selling anything that day and ask them to leave The Establishment as usual Nubian begins questioning the man asking why he wasn't selling anything the merchant explains that Viscount Fabian had swept through the shop recently and even after taking Everything he had it still wasn't enough for
the man the Viscount seemed to be recruiting soldiers which left him short une equipment because of this finding weapons in that City could become difficult due to his actions ESO asks if the man was indeed recruiting soldiers and the merchant recognizes him as a guild member by his clothing he begins explaining surprise that ESO didn't already know that a young lady from a certain family had recently contracted a Severe illness with the three three of them indulging in some gossip about the latest news in town the merchant mentions that he had heard it was a
heart condition causing the girl to freak out whenever she saw blood and suffer nightmares every night some time ago the soldiers of that family had been massacred leaving the girl terrified of the emptiness left behind in the Mansion because of this the Viscount was recruiting new soldiers to fill the Place again hoping to find a way to calm the young lady hearing this essio remains quiet until the merchant finishes sharing what he knows then asks if there's anything else they could help with muan asks the man if he could at least sharpen his sword while
asio recalls which girl the merchant was talking about as if he already knew her but interrupting his thoughts mubin hands him one of his weapons a small knife esio asks why he's doing that and The Duke responds that although it isn't much it's better to be as prepared as possible he adds that ESO is too careless with his own safety and needs to take better care of himself as they leave the shop ESO thanks the man and the two of them continue walking through the city streets together Suki suddenly appears behind ESO Who memes his
presence and asks the cat if he remembers a girl named Sarah Suki responds that he doesn't recall all the Humans he encounters along the way esio says that it might be better if the cat doesn't remember her the cat then questions ESO about why those people had made his life difficult and yet ESO was still upset they talk a bit more about the matter until Suki asks what he plans to do about the whole situation but with a melancholic look ESO decides that he won't do anything returning to the guild Branch a commotion is brewing
a ftic blonde man appears at the counter Complaining that the guild had rejected his request as he rants ESO enters the place and recog recognizes the person as Viscount Fabian apparently the man had been trying to speak with the guild leader for several days but still hadn't had his request accepted using all the status of his position as a Viscount he treats the receptionist terribly as she tries to explain this situation to him calmly Nubian also realizes that this was the Viscount from the rumors they Had uncovered earlier in comments that it seems the one
truly going mad is the Viscount himself not his daughter as he observes the man's attire and demeanor muban adds that this Behavior was nothing like how a noble should conduct himself in such a situ situation He suggests that it might be best to Simply ignore the Viscount and walk past him without engaging esio agrees with mubi's thoughts but as they walk towards their destination the Viscount notices the Boy's presence in the room he becomes pleased to see ESO and rushes towards him adopting a friendlier tone and grabbing the boy by the arms the Viscount asks
if ESO will stay there from now on but without answering any of his questions ESO simply orders the man to release him the Viscount who seems a harbor slight fear of eso formally reintroduces himself and explains his daughter situation asking if ESO would help with her problem but ESO Uninterested in the man's issues coldly asks why he should do so the Viscount tries to explain that only esio might be able to help perhaps by erasing her memories or at least improving her sleep esio refuses stating that he's already occupied with a task for someone else
Fabian indifferent to whoever ESO might be helping insists that it doesn't matter ESO should just cancel his current Mission and come to his Aid immediately muan standing beside ESO Catches fabian's attention prompting the Viscount to ask who this man was muban introduces himself as the client and mentions that he has no intention of canceling his request to cater to the viscount's wishes this causes Fabian to curse esio silently in his thoughts calling him a little brat without realizing that esio could hear him in response esio decides to reveal his name to Fabian who's shocked to
learn who he really is everyone in the room is Stunned to see the Duke being served by the guild leader reflecting on what might have caused ESO to refuse his plea Fabian remembers the last time they met desperate to win the bo help he brings up the incident but ESO calmly replies that he no longer cares about what happened in the past focusing on the present is more important now he recalls that Fabian was exactly the same back then unchanged in his personality he still couldn't recognize his own Mistakes or apologize one last time the
Viscount pleads with ESO showing genuine desperation but without being able to provide a plausible reason for ESO to help him Fabian Falls silent with that ESO turns away and leaves the area with muan by his side with no other ideas Fabian suddenly shouts out his daughter's name Sarah telling ESO that she wanted to see him he then falls to his knees begging ESO to save his daughter shocking everyone present with His humble posture seeing this iio asks the man to listen carefully telling him that he won't accept any reward from him he then states that
from this point on all decisions will be made by him alone until the end even as the Viscount begs on his knees his forehead press to the floor iio realizes that this man despite everything would never apologize to him not even once in a new scene we see the Mansion of the girl Sarah who gazes melancholic ly out the window her dog Tries to catch her attention by tugging on her clothes but she seems uninterested in the animal suddenly a black cat lands on her window sill surprising her she looks closely into the cat's eyes
and for some reason asks if he is ESO because his gaze resembles esio so much she then comments that at first she thought ESO was rather foolish for being so thin and quiet with a sorrowful expression she notes how his ability to read others Hearts gave him An emptiness that was difficult to ignore she Muses that if she had that power she would love it as she could talk to her dog heru all day without complaint but despite all this as she looked at ESO the girl realized that his eyes were in fact very beautiful
capable of caling her heart and as she starts to understand why the boy uses those blue eyes to kill she admits that she couldn't think of anything else even witnessing such a scene before her she Feels a sense of relief even though all those people had died ESO hadn't harmed her family to Sarah's surprise as she lamented ESO suddenly appeared in her room telling her not to blame herself for something that wasn't wrong she was shocked unable to believe he was really there and ESO greeted her saying hello miss sarn he extended his hand to
her and when Sarah realized it was real she be with joy reminding him that she had already told him to just call her Sarah Sarah asked if he had come to see her at her father's request but Asia replied that it had nothing to do with the Viscount he explained that he came because of what she had said earlier about them being friends she was delighted saying they were secret friends and she was thrilled that he had remembered ESO told her that as her friend he had no reason to harm her or her family he
then mentioned that he would only erase her memories terrified Sarah asked what her friend meant by that ESO explained that she didn't need to worry because it was actually necessary he placed his hand on her head but she pushed it away slapping his hand and demanding to know what he was talking about still not understanding the situation asio then asked Sarah if she would prefer to Simply die to which she responded Frozen in shock that she wouldn't he explained that if she for about everything related to him she Would be able to smile again when
she saw her family Sarah lowered her head clenching her fists in frustration unable to understand why all of this was necessary she then asked ESO if ignorance was Bliss suggesting it was easier to just avoid everything one didn't like challenging everything he had said she asked if adults dealt with situations like this by simply ignoring the things they experienced esier replied that it wasn't exactly like that But Sarah cursed him saying she was afraid of forgetting the emotions she felt at that moment she was also scared of forgetting her mistakes and repeating them just like
her father she clutched her dog hugging the animal tightly saying that if she forgot she would also forget him something she never wanted to happen hearing his friend layment seio asked her what she wanted to do and she responded by saying she only wanted to continue being his friend he asked Sarah If that would be enough and she agreed saying it would be fine if that were the case after all she was seraphin at Fabian so he should never erase her memories with an understanding reach between them we see ESO leaving the place with Suki
Sarah hesitated wondering if she could really do things right as ESO leaned on the window sill he reassured her that she would definitely succeed then jumped into the yard leaving a few magical feathers Floating in the air the scene in Chan Ed Sarah who watched eso's group realizing that he had made many friends along the way they walked together in silence for a while until ESO decided to break the ice confronting his companions who seemed to know his whereabouts Parker explained that muan had dragged him there saying he was looking for ESO muan then appeared
asking what seio meant by his question he explained what had happened earlier at the guild Branch When they arrived at the dorms seio had asked the dupe to rest a bit while he quickly headed up the stairs realizing that ESO was heading to meet his old friend muan understood what was happening and remarked that ESO still acted like a child deciding to follow him to the location muban claimed he already knew everything the only thing he had known was that the young lady was Lov struck over the boy to which Esa responded that it wasn't
like that at All seeing the situation muan decided to stop talking before he complicated things further Mau then wave from the window cheerful about his friend's return as dinner was just ready muing commented that he was starting to feel hungry indeed and Parker reminded them that they would be leaving the next day so it was best to eat well now as SEO entered the room he reflected on the following day which would finally bring him face to face with his Hometown Village meanwhile muban and Parker began arguing over the pigeon's confusing menu as Parker seemed
unsure of his own ingredients the next day the group began their Ascent up the mountain with a huru making some comments about his experience with climbing nuu noticing that his friend wouldn't be able to walk much longer picks up the small cactus in his hands bringing joy to a Hu Parker struggling with the heat complains about the rough terrain mentioning that even With a carriage the ride would have been full of jolts Mo Ian also weary from the journey remarks that they had been walking for a long time and asks if there was still much
further to go esio reassures him that they just needed to walk a little more and muan comments that considering how deep they had to venture into the Mountain eso's Village must be quite isolated for the first time esio pauses to think about this and even agrees with movian Parker walking a Bit behind the two comments on how the area is so secluded that there wouldn't even be any thieves as there were no people to steal from he had asked esio how long it had been since he left his hometown to which ESO replies that he
left at the beginning of the year the pigeon asks how his departure was which prompts ESO to recall memories of people driving in away calling him cursed as Parker continues talking he mentions that the boy's sense of responsibility Must be enormous seeing as he left to work at the first opportunity he got lost in his thoughts ESO doesn't quite grasp what his friend means by responsibility Parker clarifies that leaving one's Hometown is something even adults find difficult even if it's to pursue their dreams ESO who had a very unpleasant experience explains that it wasn't for
something virtuous like responsibility turning his back he recalls that the real reason for his Departure was simply the desire to survive the group sensing the shift in eso's mood exchanged glances trying to understand what had happened while Parker continues to ask ESO questions discovering that eso's family still lived in the same place mbbi and starts recalling the information he had gathered as a Duke he then asks if his family would be happy to see him return once again ESO remains Silent not answering and Parker starts to find it All rather strange since despite all their
progress ESO still didn't seem happy remembering that ESO had never spoken about his family before Parker notices the boy's darker expression and wonders why it seemed impossible for instance that they could have mistreated someone as powerful as him as Parker Ponders he spots something ahead that looks like smoke realizing there might be a fire nearby he decides to fly ahead to check the situation nuia notices the Smoke and asks if the mountain was actually on fire but ESO calmly explains that the smoke was coming from where the village was located surprised that this was the
location of eso's Village muan asks if this meant that the village was on fire at that very moment esio with a smile replies who knows showing a surprising amount of cheerfulness at the possibility muan confused by eso's calm demeanor asks why he seems so unbothered while NIU expresses concern for the Villagers and asks what they should do muan analyzing the situation explains that when a fire reaches such proportions in a Mountain Village it's not an easy task to deal with especially without a water manipulator in their group it would be practically helpless nuu in becomes
fascinated by the existence of people who can manipulate water mubin adds that there are Sorcerers who can use nearby water sources and elementalists who can even Create rain clouds Parker returns to the group after investigating and reports that for the moment the mountain wasn't on fire sgo disappointed asks what he meant by for the moment Parker explains that the villagers had built an altar with a pillar and set it on fire but as he struggles to describe what he saw he starts thinking of a way to continue explaining auru anxious to hear everything complains about
Parker's delay while Parker still unsure of what His eyes had seen continues esio now curious presses him to explain Parker then reveals that there was a person tied to the burning pillar esio in disbelief asks Parker to confirm what he just said Parker affirms that he really did see exactly what he described adding that the person tied to the pillar also seemed to still be alive hearing this ESO runs ahead of everyone towards his village knowing that what Parker saw couldn't be wrong no matter how cruel The villagers of selia had been ESO couldn't believe
they were now spreading such evil s recalls that if the villagers were truly cruel to that extent he would have been the first person tied to the pillar arriving at the scene out of breath from running as fast as he could he has met with the exact sight his friend had described a girl was screaming for help tied to the pillar and Esa recognized her it was his friend Bella she pleaded for help from What appeared to be her siblings and parents but a woman harshly scolded her cursing her desperate Bella began to recall moments
from her life how her parents never played with her because they were too busy telling her to go outside and not b them while they worked due to the lack of attention from her parents she became lonely until she found a group of friends while walking alone through the streets which made her happy thinking she had finally Understood what it meant to be loved as she Grew Older everyone in the town seemed to like her because of her beauty but this desire for love stemming from her parents' neglect led to her developing a deep-seated need
for the affection of those around her which eventually brought her trouble with other women's husbands all of this driven by her obsession with being loved by others led her to be labeled a witch by the town's people crying out out to Those who had once said they loved her Bella wept in despair as she was bombarded with insults out of options she began begging for help from anyone spotting a black cat perched at top of the pillar staring at her the town's people noticing the Black Cat's appearance declared it a sign of danger affirming that
Bella must truly be a witch as Bella locked eyes with Suki she suddenly remembered ESO noting the similarity in their gazes and started Blaming him for her situation but just as she was cursing ESO the ropes binding her body were suddenly cut the crowd stood in disbelief as ESO appeared seemingly out of nowhere holding a small knife having saved Bella he caught her in his arms and she confused asked if it was really him while an older villager also noticed the insia of the ignis Guild on ESO ESO leaped from the pillar calming the situation
and demanded to know what on Earth they were doing there The Elder who had appeared earlier explained that the girl was a sinner who had angered the gods and was now paying for her sins esio asked what sin she had committed and a woman responded by saying that the wretch had Bewitched a man from another town and killed him his older sister Ros stepped forward remarking that it seemed he had become someone of importance but it didn't matter much she asserted that the girl he had saved was a murderer Bella tried To protest but rosette
continued explaining to her brother that Bella was a witch who had committed adultery with all the men in the town killed them and eating their livers performing rituals with their bodies the crowd horrified by what they were hearing listened as rosette spoke ASO challenged rosette accusations asking if she had any proof of these claims rosette scoffed saying they didn't need such things in their town a man who also seemed to know ESO Accused him of being a cursed child for protecting a sinner this man was his older brother teret teret asked his brother why he
had crawled back to their Village like a rat SJ responded calmly stating that Bella had never killed anyone as he had seen all her memories at that very moment he informed them that there was no memory of her taking anyone's life Bella standing beside him agreed with eso's version of events while the crowd began to debate whether To trust his ability or not but before they could decide someone threw a stone at esu's face injuring the old man who had spoken earlier as the rain began to fall blood splattered from est's face where the stone
had hit him Bella informed him of the injury on his face to which esio smiled remarking that the place really hadn't changed at all he then ordered everyone to stop immediately the crowd meal before the boy without being able to move the Villagers began to murmur that ESO had cursed them his brother teret appeared also cursing ESO for doing this even to the people who had raised him just then as magical feathers floated in the air the rest of eso's group finally caught up to him Nubian stepped in attempting to diffuse the conflict by explaining
that the villagers should show more respect to the leader of the ignis guild questioning where Their Manners were rosette his sister asked if this was the Famous Guild she had heard about while the Elder helped to calm the situation urging everyone to return to their homes he invited the members of The ignis Guild to follow him to his house to escape the rain that had started to fall Bella having nowhere else to go tried to speak with ESO tubbing on his cloak to get his attention she thanked him for saving her but ESO bluntly explained
that he hadn't really intended to save her hearing this Bella insisted that Despite his cold words she knew he was a kind person but ESO brush off her words aware that she still harbored hatred towards him even at that moment he reminded her that she had wished for him to be the one tied to the pillar and burned alive just moments earlier Bella screamed in denial but asio pushed her hand away from his cloak telling her that he wasn't kind enough to tolerate someone who thought of him as disgusting as she did he warned her
that once he Completed the request he had received at the guild he never wanted to see her again because she in the town exhausted him Bella continued to speak trying to hold his attention but muan who had been listening asked what esio was doing noting the nonsense Bella was spouting esio moved forward leaving Bella behind who then called him brother reminding him of their childhood friendship but ESO uninterested asked when they had become close enough to use such terms as ESO walked away Bella felt her knees the rain soaking her as it poured down unwilling
to accept her new reality she began to scream at the sky asking why this was happening to her so the video ends here if you don't want to miss the next part activate the notification Bell and see you next time on to's Channel
