Not long after, Mansa turned his head and looked at a tree five meters away from them.

"It's no use hiding behind the tree...I can still see you."

Mansa was surprised to see a figure coming out from behind the tree. Cindy, who saw the small child, immediately approached him.

"What you doing here? Where the others?” Cindy reprimanded the child.

“You know him?” Mansa wanted to make sure that the two women they were helping knew the child.

"We know him," Cindy told Mansa the truth.

“Your name is Una, right? Are you an immigrant from another kingdom?” Erick is still very curious about Una, who is similar to Nia.

“I come from the village of Filn, and migrated to the city of Norf to become an adventurer,” Una told Erick.

"But, isn't Nia Aghture one of the people who disappeared?" Sara became curious about Erick's words.

“That's right, seeing Una caught a glimpse of Nia.”

They were surprised by a group of merchants, Cindy told them that she and Una were carrying out a request as bodyguards by the merchant.

Grit, the group of heroes, Una, Cindy, and the three small children rested in the village for three hours.

"This is payment for the two of you..." Grit handed a bag filled with coins as payment.

"Thank you, Mr. Grit," Una accepted it and was very happy.

"Okay...we have to continue our journey so that at the end of the afternoon we arrive at the city of Yuma."

Grit and his workers continued their journey without an escort because the route they were on was safe from threats.

"Then, we should also go back, thank you for letting us earlier." One of the children gave Cindy and the three of them immediately left.

“Hero, what is it? Why are you looking at those three children?” Erick was curious about Mansa, who suddenly seemed suspicious of the child.

“I just—“

"Is it true?!" Sara was surprised by the words of Cindy and Una, who accepted Nita and Sara's invitation to go to Norf city together.

Without wasting any time, they all agreed to go straight to the city of Norf. When they arrived at the city, the residents seemed to have been waiting for the arrival of the hero and his group.

“The plan to hinder them is progressing smoothly.”

"It's not in vain that when we got here we immediately informed them about this."

“I don't want to do it anymore…”

Vail, Rii, and Cini were very sweaty and also very tired, due to running non-stop from South Village to Norf City.

They did because Rii suspected, that the hero would immediately notice them if they used magic.

"It can't be helped... the hero is always watching us non-stop." Cini's voice was so heavy.

The doorbell sounds...

“Eli, we're back.” Una opened the guild door, but she didn't find Elia.

"She's not here..." With a heavy breath, Cini told Una.

“Why are you guys so tired?” Cindy wondered what made them so tired.

“We just defeated the monsters near the Laindorf River,” Rii told the two of them.

"Miss Cindy, do you know them?" Erick was curious.

"They are the people I talked about on the trip..." Cindy reminded and told Erick again.

“From the looks of it and from the stories you told, they seem tough.” Nita assesses Rii, Cini, and Vail from her perspective.

“We don't know what the friend said— ” Cini stopped talking, because the hero looked at him with the same gaze as before.

“Hero, don't stare at someone we just met like that,” Erick asked Mansa not to bother Cini, Rii, and Vail.

“I'm sorry, it's just…I feel like we've met before.”

"What do you say? We just met now.” Rii tried to remain as hidden as possible.

“Enough, hero...don't make a small problem a big one. Our goal here is just to stop by for a while." Nita intervened and reminded them of their purpose again.

"Your goal?"

“Our real goal—”

The sound of the doorbell rang again.

“Rii, Cini, Vail…I brought recovery potions--”

"Brother?!"

Elia was surprised to see Erick in this city, especially with his new friend. Thanks to that, Rii, Cini, and Vail felt like they had been helped by Elia for the second time.

“Long time no see, Elia.” Erick was happy to see that his younger brother was healthy.

“Elia, this person is your brother?” Cindy wanted to confirm this.

"Not by blood, I consider Erick an older brother because he was the oldest when we were in the same orphanage," Elia told Cindy that Erick and Elia were in the same orphanage.

"I thought you were the only child of the guild master..." Cini just realized this.

“The guild master is the one who nurtured and gave new names to the two of us.” Erick further told them all not to misunderstand.

“Elia, what is guild master here?” Erick wanted to greet his adoptive father.

"The guild master in his room," Elia told Erick.

“I almost forgot…”

“Elia, they are my new friends. Mr hero is called Mansa from another world. Then these two women are Nita and Sara, they are adventurers and they are both sisters."

After Erick introduced them to Elia. He also introduced Elia to Nita, Sara, and Mansa.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

In the middle of the conversation, a familiar voice began to be heard from Erick's ears from the stairs.

“Long time no see, guild master…or do I need to call you father?” Erick was very happy to see his adoptive father, who was still healthy even though he was so old.

“You still haven't changed from last time, Erick.”

“Guild master, he is hero Mansa.”

“Hero, he is the guild master of this city called Eblo. And he is my adoptive father.”

Erick introduced the two of them to each other, Eblo

“Regarding the hero's arrival, we guild masters already know about it. But it was unexpected that the person who became a hero was still so young, and the same age as Elia.” Eblo or Guild master praises the hero.

“I welcome you all, come up to my room…we will have a drink together.” Eblo invites the hero and his group to enjoy wine together.

“You can come too…”

"We're glad you invited us, but we don't drink wine..."

Not only Vail but also Cini and Rii refused Eblo's invitation to drink. The others went with Eblo to his room to discuss the past and turned their meeting into a father-and-son reunion.

"It's a shame, the three of them don't want to come..." Erick, who was already drunk, started to say what was on his mind.

"Even though wine is the best drink."

"Haa...he was already drunk, even though he only had one sip." Elia regrets her older brother who gets drunk easily.

"Cindy...Una, why do you only drink juice?" Sara was so curious.

“Vail asked us not to consume wine, he said it was for health,” Cindy told Sara.

"How could wine be destructive? If it was destructive, wine would have been banned a long time ago..." Erick, who was so drunk, responded to Cindy's words.

"Do you know the reason?" Nita was curious about Cindy's words.

"Vail said that wine contains ethanol or something he calls alcohol..." Cindy told Nita.

"What is alcohol?" Eblo was curious about the name which sounded foreign to his ears.

“If I'm not mistaken, Rii said. Alcohol is an organic chemical compound that has hydro, I forgot—"

“Hydroxyl or minus OH is attached to a carbon atom, and can be found in intoxicating drinks.”

They were impressed that Mansa knew this, and Eblo praised the hero's intelligence.

“The three of them said that to you?” Mansa wanted to confirm what he already suspected.

Mansa looked at Una, he realized. If Una could be the Nia Aghture that Erick told him about.

Mansa goes out looking for Vail, Rii, and Cini to ask them for clarity...

“For now, think of a way to avoid his suspicion.” Vail proposed a suggestion to Rii and Cini.

"Like--"

“It turns out I was right…”

They are surprised the hero was behind and caught them.

“What do you want a hero?” Rii tries to negotiate.

“Why are you hiding instead of helping?” Mansa says all his annoyance, and restrains himself from getting angry.

“What makes you so sure? We are called people?” Cini tried to make sure.

"Cindy and Una were the ones who said this, prohibiting you from drinking alcohol," Mansa tells him.

"People from this world don't know what alcohol is and its explanation, but Una and Cindy know that and that's from you."

"Then, is it true...Una is Nia Aghture?"

Mansa let out everything in his head, and his last words asked them for clarity to tell whether Nia was still alive, and whether it was Una.

Cini said that if what he said was true, Una was indeed Nia Aghture...

“What kind of people are you? As a result of your actions, thousands of lives are lost every day. Villages and farms, and other things were destroyed by the demon army."

"Are you only thinking about your interests and safety?!"

Mansa is disappointed and angry with the three of them, who do not have a sense of responsibility towards the world.

They were just left behind, because for now Mansa was disgusted by the three of them.

"Morning, you two..." Nita and her sister went downstairs to eat.

"Morning, Nita, Sarah."

"Did you sleep comfortably last night?" Una was so worried, because he was the one who offered to sleep in the same inn as her.

“So comfortable, I didn't realize was sleeping so soundly.” Sara expressed her satisfaction.

“You guys, can you not embarrass me?” Erick complained about Sara being outspoken.

"How— " Una stopped talking, because she saw Mansa sitting thinking about something.

"What happened to the hero?" Cindy and the others were so curious.

"I don't know the reason myself either..." Erick, who had seen the hero, seemed to be contemplating himself since last night and didn't know the reason.

"Are the three of them still not awake?" Sara was so curious.

"Impossible, expecting the three of them to wake up this early," Una tells them that they never wake up early.

After Una said that, Rii, Vail, and Cini went downstairs and seemed to want to leave. Una asks where they are going, Vail tells her that they have already taken Ronet's request to help.

On the other hand...in a Union. All the kings gathered got the message that King Ligt was asking for help in large numbers.
