Scene – Guild lobby
Yatrans is sitting at a table, with Suzu beside him.

Yatrans – I’m leaving tomorrow. (serious tone)
Suzu – Where to?
Yatrans – I told you about my revenge. The time has come to take the first step. I’ll be leaving this city and country for a few days, going on an adventure.
Suzu – Then let me come with you.
Yatrans – But you have guild duties. How can you leave?
Suzu – I’ll take some days off.
Yatrans – Still no. This revenge is mine. I can’t put you in danger unnecessarily.
Suzu – But—
Yatrans – No more. I leave tomorrow morning, early.

Yatrans walks away, leaving Suzu sitting sadly.

Scene – Yatrans’ room
Yatrans lies on his bed.

Yatrans – Tomorrow… it’s the day. I’m ready. Zil is ready too.

Zil is sleeping beside him. Hours pass. The sky is still dark but morning has arrived. Yatrans packs what he needs, wakes Zil, and quietly slips out. The guild is silent—everyone is still asleep. As he steps down the stairs, he notices someone waiting by the guild wall.

Yatrans – Suzu! (whispering, shocked) What are you doing here?!
Suzu – I’m coming with you.
Yatrans – But I said—
Suzu – If your revenge can be mine, then why can’t my revenge be yours?! (angry face)
Yatrans – Still… it’s dangerous there.
Suzu – I don’t care. Even the Primordial Black was dangerous.
Yatrans – !
Suzu – Besides, I’ve been standing here for 2 hours. I thought you either left already or changed your mind.
Yatrans – Two hours?! (shocked) In this dark and cold?!
Suzu – Hmm… yes, it’s cold, but it’s fine.
Yatrans – …Okay, I give up. You can come with us.
Zil – Ku! (happy smile)
Suzu – Yaay. (whispering happily)

Suzu then notices it’s only Yatrans and Zil.

Suzu – How are we traveling?

Yatrans takes out a small bike from his pocket, places it on the ground, and it expands into a normal-sized bike.

Yatrans – On this.
Suzu – Woah..! (shocked) What is that?!
Yatrans – It’s called a bike. I made it using my skills. Now, let’s go.

Yatrans sits on the bike, Zil sits in front, and Suzu behind. Zil’s size and tails make it hard to ride.

Yatrans – Next time I’ll make a bigger one. This was only meant for me and Zil.
Suzu – Sorry.
Yatrans – It’s okay. Just… hold on to me.
Suzu – Wh-what?! (shy, flustered)

The bike speeds forward, almost making them fall, and Suzu quickly grabs Yatrans.

Yatrans – Told you to hold on.

The bike rides fast, Suzu holding tightly while Zil enjoys the wind from the front.

Yatrans – Zil, watch your tail! I can’t see properly!
Zil – Ku ku (ya ya).

They reach the city border, pay a bronze coin, and exit.

Scene – At the country border, sunrise
They stop, far from the city now.

Yatrans – Okay, before we cross, Suzu, let me explain my plan.
Suzu – Hmm.

They sit on the ground. Yatrans shows his tablet with a map.

Yatrans – Here’s our kingdom. And this—this island is our destination. It’ll take many days to reach. That’s why I said I’ll be gone for a while.
Suzu – Fine, but how will you even reach that island?
Yatrans – What do you mean?
Suzu – …Nothing. Continue.
Yatrans – Okay… on that island, there’s something I need. With it, I can complete my revenge. It will increase my power. I don’t know how much, but it will.
Suzu – What?!
Yatrans – And I don’t know how dangerous the island is. But I do know this—another group left, or is leaving today, for the same thing. So we may have to fight them.
Suzu – I see. That’s going to be dangerous.
Yatrans – I told you already. Okay, let’s move.

They reach the country border.

Suzu – We’re leaving the country for a mission.
Guard – Okay. Two bronze coins.
Yatrans – But in the city, it’s only one.
Guard – That’s city entry/exit fee. This is country entry/exit fee.
Yatrans – Ah, okay.

Yatrans pays two coins and they continue.

Yatrans (thinking) – This bike has two boosters, that’s why I reached the border so quickly. It runs on mana energy, and I use Zil to power it. It’s 5 to 10 times faster than a normal bike. The best part—it won’t explode like normal vehicles during gunfire, since it doesn’t use fuel.

Scene – Open field
The skies are clear, the sun shining. Gentle monsters play, rest, and graze on the grass nearby.

Suzu – By the way, what’s the name of the thing you’re after?
Yatrans – Umm… I don’t remember the full name. Something tough to pronounce… but it had “ball” in it.
Suzu – I see. Okay.

Meanwhile – Tosu’s group also departs from their mansion. Around 12 mana cars roll out of the gates.
