The next morning.

The boy was heading to the reception to pick up the correspondence he was supposed to take and then he was approached by a man and a woman, both had brown hair, the man lighter and the woman darker.

Hey kid, we heard at reception that you're leaving for the South, is that true? (Man)

A man who appeared to be older than the boy approached him along with a woman who appeared to be the same age as him.

Yes. I'm. (Boy)

We're also going south, we could go halfway together until we split up, since it's your first delivery, it's better than going alone, right? (Man)

''Well, if it's really okay for you to have someone with no experience like me along, I'll be happy to have you with me during the trip'' (Boy)

''Of course that's fine, the more people traveling together the better, it's too risky to travel alone and we don't usually do that, but here there are no caravans going south in the next few months, the more we hear there will be a caravan departing from Ello City to the South and one of her stops is going to be where we have to make our delivery, so it will be perfect, and you will still be able to continue traveling with her as long as she is going in the same direction as you right? And just for the record we are not that experienced, we have been working for 2 years as Deliverers but we only take jobs when our reservations are running low, so we have made little more than 10 deliveries together to date.'' (Man)

''Serious? For me, this amount already seems to be impressive by itself.'' (Boy)

[Of course, if we are taking into account the death rate that couriers have, it really is.] (Boy)

''Same? Thank you, ah yes, my name is Evan." (Evan)

The woman takes a step forward towards the boy.

''I'm Leilani, it's a pleasure Nameless boy.'' (Leilani)

''Well, I guess someone with no memories living in the Post Office's doctor's office really draws attention, doesn't it?'' (Boy)

''A little bit, haha.'' (Evan)

''But that saves me explanations, you can just call me Garoto.'' (Garoto)

''All right.'' (Leilani)

''Right. Well what about our proposal? Will you want to join us to Ello Garoto City?'' (Evan)

''It's better than traveling to the South all alone isn't it? You're not missing anything!'' (Leilani)

''Well, it's like you said, and I'm already heading south anyway, a little detour to Ello City to ease my travels later on would be most welcome. So, yes, I agree to accompany you there." (Boy)

' ' Oh boy! It's good that you decided to come with us, the more people, the safer it is, it's always like that, since monsters avoid attacking large groups of people.'' (Evan)

''That's true, so I'm glad you're coming with us.'' (Leilani)

''I see, that's why you wanted me to go with you.'' (Boy)

''That's it!'' (Evan)

[Well, I found it strange that they called a newbie like me to accompany them without asking anything in return, even though the books are saying that it was always best to travel in caravans, I didn't think that small groups of people would also have a similar effect, I really still have a lot what to learn apart from what was in the books, the knowledge gained from experience is something that I will only get in person.] (Boy)

The boy smiles at them as he puts his hand on his hip.

''So let's go?'' (Boy)

With that, the boy, Evan and Leilani, leave the Postal Headquarters and go to buy groceries to go, while talking during these occasions.

As they leave the city, the boy says goodbye to the guards at the gate who helped him earlier, they seemed to be happy that he was better and although they appeared to be worried about what he decided to do after he recovered.

The three are traveling towards the City of Ello, as it was not a very distant city they would only take about 2 weeks walking.

That night while they ate and talked in front of the bonfire.

''So always having someone else with you increases your chances of not being attacked, no matter the size of the group, well, that's not something you'll find in the books, as they only suggest that you travel with caravans.'' (Leilani)

''Yes it's true.'' (Evan)

''And even though you were planning to go alone, you're totally crazy'' (Leilani)

''Maybe a little.. Haha'' (Boy)

They laugh along with the boy.

''But maybe you can give me some tips and teach me what you learned during your travels'' (Garoto)

Evan and Leilani look at each other and smile.

''Of course!'' (Evan and Leilani)

''Ask whatever you want, we'll teach you as much as we can during our journey together.'' (Evan)

''Right! Thank you very much!'' (Boy)

''Well then, about longer trips, what types of groceries do you recommend the most?'' (Boy)

And the conversation continued from there for a long time until they started taking shifts during the night to sleep.

As the days passed, they interacted and talked more and more and became closer and closer with each stop they made and each night they spent together talking around the campfire.

At the same time, the boy also took every opportunity to ask about his travels and learn more about the job and how to avoid the dangers of it.

The days go by, and then 4 days into the journey from Ello Town, the Kid learns something.

' ' Ehhhh? Are you going to get married?" (Boy)

''Yes, we've been wanting to get married for a while and we've decided to do it in our hometown, so we're heading south now.'' (Leilani)

''Leilani and I met a long time ago at the bar where we worked before and ironically we decided to get into this line of work because we wanted to help our families and we've been together in this ever since.'' (Evan)

'' I see, over time the friendship ended up becoming something more, until they fell in love with each other and got to where they are now.'' (Boy)

''It was fine for that haha.'' (Leilani)

''I should have seen when he went to confess to me, he was all nervous and awkward with words, he didn't even know what he was saying haha.'' (Leilani)

'''Hey, I didn't need to tell him that.'' (Evan)

''Why not? I thought it was cute haha." (Leilani)

''But I don't like to remember that, I feel very ashamed.'' (Evan)

'' But that's the fun haha. '' (Leilani)

The Kid smiles as he watches them play with each other and the night goes on with all of them laughing and having a good time.

The days passed without much problem, with them finding and seeing wolves and other monsters always at a distance and managing to avoid them without much problem, their experience was really helping the trip.

With that, they were only 2 days and one night away from Ello City, their fate was right before them.

''This will be our last night together outdoors, it went by much faster than I expected.'' (Leilani)

''It's true, honestly I was very worried at first, but now I'm very calm and I even got used to traveling like this, but I'm still very scared haha.'' (Boy)

''I understand you, but it's good to be afraid, it means that you didn't get full of yourself and forget about the dangers, honestly it wasn't just luck and experience that made us avoid monsters until here, plus the fact that this region is much less dangerous and there were rarely any attacks or deaths from it, so we decided to come this way.'' (Evan)

''I see, so it was an accumulation of all these factors that contributed to our safety so far, I'll keep that in mind in my travels from now on as well.'' (Boy)

''You'll do fine if you don't forget anything you learned during these days we spent together, I'm sure you'll manage to survive and recover your memories.'' (Leilani)

''She's right, we already know enough to be sure of that, you'll get it Boy.'' (Evan)

''Thank you, Evan, Leilani. If we weren't going to travel together in a caravan for a while longer would this be looking like a farewell in? haha'' (Boy)

''That's right haha'' (Leilani)

''True hahaha'' (Evan)

''I'm going for a walk around here and I'll be back in a little while.'' (Leilani)

''Do you need me to go with you? To keep you company?'' (Evan)

''No, your idiot! I don't want anyone near me while I'm doing these things." (Leilani)

''Ha, you wanted to use the bathroom.'' (Evan)

''Don't say that out loud! Serious!! Have you not an ounce of delicacy in you? I could learn a thing or two from the kid." (Leilani)

''Ah, sorry.'' (Evan)

Leilani gets up and walks off by herself.

''This time it was really your fault Evan haha.'' (Boy)

''I never know the difference between when she is talking about the so-called nature or just walking a little.'' (Evan)

''But it's obvious haha, if she didn't ask you to go along, she just needs to go do her needs. '' (Boy)

''Damn, I had never stopped to notice these details, but now that you said it, it's true! Is this serious? haha..'' (Evan)

''It's very serious! hahaha'' (Boy)

''You are amazing boy! Being able to notice these small details and also remember everything that we have been teaching you so quickly, maybe you have the talent to be a mage." (Evan)

''Seriously Evan, instead of acting like an idiot, you could just tell her directly that you're so worried about her all the time and that you can't leave her alone for this or anything else. Because this whole pretense is too ridiculous to watch." (Boy)

''Eh? Did you notice that I was faking it? (Evan)

The better question would be, who wouldn't notice, right?'' (Boy)

''So you think she noticed too?'' (Evan)

''With all the times you've done something like this during the trip? Absolutely.. And if you do this on all your trips... Even more so.. haha'' (Boy)

Evan sighs.

''She must think I'm a big idiot in?'' (Evan)

'' I don't think so after all.. She gave a little smile as she turned around before walking away.'' (Boy)

''Damn it!! She is too good a woman for me!! (Evan)

''Surely! haha…'' (Boy)

But look what I said there! Small details!! Small details, boy!! Maybe you have the talent to be a mage!" (Evan)

''A mage? Evan does not exaggerate!! haha, but thanks, it's funny we talk about it, but not that I'm conceited or anything, but I'm really good at remembering details, even the ones I saw in the books I read at Post Office I can still remember them well, and yet I can't remember anything from my past yet… Ironic isn't it? haha.'' (Boy)

''Maybe a little haha.'' (Evan)

The Kid and Evan stop laughing, take a deep breath and both think.

[I touched on a subject that I shouldn't have, right? And now I've spoiled the mood] (Boy and Evan)

''You know Boy? You..'' (Evan)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Before Evan could finish talking they heard a scream.

''Leilani?'' (Boy)

''That was her!'' (Evan)

They go pale for a moment.

''Shit, this is not good, let's go Boy'' (Evan)

''Let's go.'' (Boy)

They run towards the scream

When they arrive at the place they see Leilani standing in a clearing, but apparently well, so they calm down.

''Evan! Boy!'' (Leilani)

They start to get closer and she screams.

''Stop, don't approach!'' (Leilani)

''Don't approach? Leilani are you alright? We heard you scream." (Evan)

''Yeah, we came running because we were worried.'' (Boy)

''I... I'm fine, but don't come closer, I'm stuck in something and I can't get out of here.'' (Leilani)

''Prey?'' (Boy)

' ' What do you mean trapped? On what? I don't see anything holding you back." (Evan)

The boy starts to observe the area around her without approaching while they talk.

''I don't know, I can't see anything from here either, but my arm definitely got caught in something and the more I try to distance myself the more I'm pulled back and I feel like I'm even more trapped.'' (Leilani)

''Pulled back?'' (Boy)

The Kid puts his hand on his chin and starts to look thoughtful.

''Even if you say that, I'm really not seeing anything no matter how I look..'' (Evan)

''At first it was just my hand, but now it's my whole arm.'' (Leilani)

Hearing this, the Boy finally seems to have thought of something, but before he could say anything, he saw that Evan was pulling Leilani. Evan was pulling with all his strength.

''Stop! Don't do that Evan!!'' (Boy)

''There is? Why?" (Evan)

But then it slips out of their hands and goes back to where it was initially.

''No, no, no.. Leilani are you okay? How are you now? Do you feel that you are looser than before?'' (Boy)

''No, actually I feel like I'm stuck up to my neck now and my face too.'' (Leilani)

  Eh? Your face too? no I didn't mean to do that I'm sorry! I'm sorry Leilani!'' (Evan)

''It's okay, I know Evan.'' (Leilani)

''This is not good at all, before it would be easier.. But now..'' (Boy)

''What are you talking about Boy? Calm down Leilani, I'll wipe that off your face.'' (Evan)

''Don't touch her! You will get stuck too!" (Boy)

They are startled by the boy screaming, the boy approaches with a torch and moves it close to Leilani, until they can see something.

'' See, they are wires. '' (Boy)

''Threads?'' (Evan and Leilani)

''To be more exact, they're strands of web from a spider, but not just any spider, they're probably from man-eating spiders, they're practically invisible at night with the naked eye, and they're only visible with a certain level of light to cause a reflection effect on them, and once trapped the more you try to get out the more trapped you are.'' (Boy)

''Man-eating spiders, you're kidding, right?'' (Leilani)

''How do you know all this?'' (Evan)

''I remembered reading about them in one of the books in the library at the Postal Headquarters.'' (Garoto)

''So you know how to remove them?'' (Evan)

' ' How do I get them out of me?? Is there any way to get rid of them?" (Leilani)

''Yes, there are some shapes.'' (Boy)

Oh, great, don't scare us like that, tell us to get out of here soon then.'' (Evan)

''But in our current situation only one will work.'' (Boy)

''Only one?'' (Evan)

''Well, it's better than nothing, right? What is it?'' (Leilani)

''Set fire to the wires, they are highly flammable and will burn quickly.'' (Boy)

''But she has wires all over her arm up to her neck and face... Like this... She will be burned together.'' (Evan)

''Not! Not! Not! No, I do not want! I don't want to be burned! I don't want to get my face burned! If it burns for a long time on my face and the burns get really bad, I might end up dying... And even if I survive... My face... A lot of it will remain... a lot of it..'' (Leilani)

''A good part of it will be disfigured by the burns.'' (Boy)

AHHHHHHHHHH!!! ''Not! Not! Not! No, I do not want! I do not want it! I don't want to be burned!'' (Leilani)

  Leilani despairs and begins to struggle.

''Leilani, if you keep struggling, it will only make your situation worse!'' (Boy)

Leilani then, hearing this and looking around her and realizing her situation in the face of despair, stops sketching any resistance or even saying anything.
