'It's great to be a baby. I can always watch this screenplay in front of me without getting involved. Also, I don't need subtitles for this.'

Claire entered the living room with Shin and unstrapped him from her back. Shin was sitting on the floor trying to find anything compelling to indulge himself into. Claire brought a big pot, more like a container to cook food. They had a fireplace in the living room for cooking purposes. All the firewood and leaves were already in their place, so without any further delay, Claire enchanted the spell.

*"Ignatius"*

The spell did its work and the flame was ignited in the fireplace. Meanwhile, Shin, agape in shock, was looking at the magic, her mother manifested.

'How alluring. Who knew that my mother also had a grasp of magic? Well, maybe everyone knew except me. Nonetheless, this was my first time seeing fire magic, it feels like-'

'How rude. I was about to speak a stunning paraphrase. Now that's it's more close to zero, I can hope to see something quirky soon.' Shin thought.

While Shin was having a controversy with himself regarding his future and the system inside him, one hour passed.

Shin's older brother returned after an intense practice. He was completely drenched in sweat. He had overworked himself and that made him more exhausted than usual.

*"Mom, where is the towel? I didn't find one in the cupboard."* He questioned Claire.

*"Ah, Wayne. I washed them today, so they are hanging outside. Go get it from there."* Claire answered.

*"I will be coming in a minute, so wait for me Shin okay?"* He went running towards the garden.

'Well, I didn't understand a single word you uttered, dear brother. But I don't have to worry since I am the invincible baby!!

...Okay, that was pure cringe.'

Meanwhile, in the garden. Wayne was searching for the towel.

*"I thought she said that it was hanging here, but I can't find it anywhere."* Wayne muttered to himself.

While Wayne was searching for the towel, he heard some sounds of cracking. He started running towards the sound and found one of the plants broken. He was frightened.

*"Is anyone hiding in there?"* Wayne uttered those words while panicking.

*"..."*

All of a sudden, someone grabbed his shoulder from the back, and Wayne collapsed in agitation.

*".....ne"*

*"Wayne"*

*"Wayne, open your eyes."* 

Wayne wakes up slowly, hearing Claire's worried voice.

*"Doctor, please wake him up."*

*"He is fine, right?"*

Adel's(Shin's father) face expressed sincere concern, anxiety, and unexpectedly anger.

*"Mom, Dad, I am fine now."* Wayne said while trying to get up from his stiffed position.

*"Thank goodness, you are awake."* Claire hugged Wayne tightly while crying.

*"Wayne, did you see the person's face or found anything related to that?"* Adel asked him in a panicked manner.

*"What are you doing? He has just woke up. Shouldn't you be asking about his health or how is he feeling right now?"* Claire shouted at Adel for his apathy.

Adel looked at Wayne and then let out a sigh as if trying to relax.

*"I am sorry Wayne. I shouldn't have barraged you with all those questions when you have just come to. It's just that something has happened at the office recently and today's incident seemed related to it so I panicked about it. I shouldn't fraternize my work and my family and stop overthinking."* Adel apologized sincerely.

*"You don't have to worry about his health. He just collapsed due to the fatigue with shock as an aftereffect. Since I have healed him, he is fine now. Just take care of him and contact me again if anything happens."* The nurse said while leaving the house.

'What happened here? The sweet family drama turned into a serious spectacle. I really want to learn their language because I am feeling totally out of the page right now.' Shin thought.

After Wayne relaxed a bit, he went to his father and filled him downright with the scenario. He told him that when Adel suddenly approached him from behind, he got scared and started losing consciousness. But before he fainted, he saw a black silhouette running away from the garden.

The next day, while everyone was sleeping, Adel woke up and went straight to his office. He entered the main office and saw Curtis(his colleague) sitting on the chair doing some paperwork with a cup of coffee in his other hand.

*"For what reason is our precious swordsman out here so early."*

*"Don't cage me up like some gem. I also have legs and hands like a normal human being."*

*"I know. I know. I was just kidding. Come on, sit here."*

Adel took one of the chairs near the table and sat in front of Curtis. He looked worried and vexed at the same time.

*"One of his men came to my house yesterday."*

As Curtis heard this, the coffee spilled out of his mouth on Adel.

*"Ewwww. What are you trying to do, damn it? You stained my precious sleepwear. I bought it for 100 dins."*

*"Sorry, sorry. Anyways, why did someone came to visit you from there."*

*"Shameless bastard, not even a thread of apology is being reflected from your face."*

*"Just tell me now. I said sorry right?"*

*"Ugh. He didn't exactly come to visit me, but my boy saw him last night hiding near my garden. Also, I found some of the remains of the black silhouette last night. That's clearly his sign."*

*"What will you do now?"*

*"I just have to be careful for now since nothing bad happened. But if he lays hands on my family, I will tear down his limbs and eradicate that insect."*

*"But you know that we don't have the permission to act like this, right?"*

*"I am aware of it and I won't be acting recklessly for now. Who knows what that Stagius is up to right now."*
