After spending a few hours in the cell, I never expected Mayu to show up at the precinct. She walked straight to the front of my cell, standing right before me with visible disappointment etched on her face. "I don’t know whether to admire or pity your recklessness, but this is no longer a laughing matter," she said coldly. "Hehehe, believe me, Miss Mayu, I wasn't looking for trouble. I was just helping the person they were beating up. I had no choice—" Before I could finish, she cut me off. "Your reasons don't matter. You are just an ordinary person, and you need to know your place," she snapped. "I owe you a debt of gratitude, which is why I can’t just let you rot here. However, I will not help you again if you break the law," she added angrily. I didn't bother making excuses and just apologized. I could tell she was in a bad mood, and I didn't want to provoke her any further. A few minutes later, thanks to Mayu’s intervention, I was released. Since it was already night, she

As the festivities continued in the hall, I did not expect to encounter a mysterious old man. He explained that, unlike the ordinary abilities of others, he possesses the power to perceive the energy emitted by any individual. He noted that a celestial item radiates a potent energy distinct from that of any other living creature—much like how fire varies in color and intensity. "Can you see this?" he asked. He pointed to his eyes and admitted that they were a special spirit item capable of perceiving the energies of various objects. He boasted that it was a Class A spirit item, a rarity in Zeron. "I can also discern the identity and nature of the person standing before me simply based on the color of their energy," he continued. "And I am pleased with you, for your energy remains a shade of blue, which is proof that you are a good person." He leaned over the ledge, looking down at everyone in the hall, and gestured for me to come closer. "Come here. See for yourself what is happ

A few minutes after the commotion, I continued my work outside the mansion. I used Time Heal to treat the bruises and wounds I sustained from the punches and kicks of the Poi family’s men. I wanted to find Mayu to thank her again for helping me—no, that’s not it. I wanted to know more about her situation. I know she resents the illegal activities and anomalies occurring in Baldona, and the Poi Company is one of the entities running these illicit businesses. I am certain she does not want to be married to someone like Bernard, who destroys the lives of Baldona’s citizens. Honestly, she has gone through so many terrible things and is constantly trapped in situations she never asked for. It is not impossible that her potential future as a "Destroyer" and her involvement with the Black Scorpion are rooted in the hardships she is enduring right now. I need to help her; if I do nothing to alleviate her anger and suffering, she will surely continue to push herself down the path of becomin

The next day, because I am assigned to the night shift as a mansion guard, I had free time from morning until noon to sleep. The governor is staying at the baldona for three days, and the entire mansion has been in a state of chaos. As I was walking from the mansion’s kitchen, carrying food back to my room, but someone suddenly pulled me into a room. I was startled, and because of the force of the pull, all the food I was carrying fell to the floor. "My breakfast!" I exclaimed, feeling regretful. When I turned around, Mayu grabbed me by the collar and shoved me against the wall. "Miss Mayu?" I didn't know why she was doing this, but from her reaction, I could tell she was furious. She just stared at me, asking what I did last night. "Tell me, what did you do last night?" "Miss Mayu, I don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean?" I asked, panicked. She immediately drew her sword and pointed it at my neck. I pleaded with her to calm down so we could

A few minutes had passed since the argument in the mayor's office. Because Bernard had stormed out in a rage, the mayor was deeply worried and visibly shaken. "You’ve angered Bernard Poi. Have you even considered what he might do?" the mayor asked, trembling. Mayu immediately stepped in to defend me, telling the mayor that I was acting on my own and that he shouldn’t be held responsible. She made it clear that I was now her subordinate, and that was the only perspective Bernard would be concerned with. "I just hope I’m not dragged down by what you’ve done," the mayor muttered. "You know how valuable the poi family is to the baldona—you know that better than anyone." "Don't worry, Uncle. I know exactly what I’m doing," Mayu replied coolly. Then, she added, "Oh, and by the way, from now on, Aren works for me. You are not to give him any more orders, or Bernard will surely take his anger out on you." The mayor could only sigh, telling Mayu to do as she pleased, provided she k
