Lumein city....
"I have a bad feeling about that old woman, and that assassin...i know she needs the money but she should be careful with who she complies with," Yubashi's mother sighs as she fiddles with her spear, catching her husband's attention as he puts her hand around her shoulder for comfort.
"Come on honey, you worry over minimal things. Who cares about what that old woman's intentions are? The important thing is that our son is in the right hands of the healer."
She scoffs as she heard her husband's words. Even though she loves him she has the right to disagree with him on matters.
"My intentions of worrying are not only on minimal things. Its just that Ren might be a highly skilled healer, but that doesn't make her flawless. There are a lot of creatures out there that easily overwhelm many healers, and sure our son can give her some support but...i am her parent and doesn't want anything bad happening to him, not again."
Yubashi's mom worryingly said as her husband gave her a confused glare.
"Rose...do you not want Yubashi to be an adventurer?"
Kuri asked her, causing her to immediately snap his head at him, surprised.
"W-what? No that's not it at all. I want him to do what he wants but.....he really doesn't talk a lot about the guilt he is in, as well as the people in it except for Ren. Its...i-i don't know...."
She shakingly says as she takes a deep sigh. Kuri tries to respond but hesitates as he lets go of her, sighing as well.
Suddenly they hear a loud strike, which shook the ground aggressively, as well as the great gate catching them off guard.
The residents of the city murmur in fear and shock as some buildings slightly shake, some equipment, items and food falling off some stands.
"Danny! Grab the items, one of the civilians shout out as she picks up some equipment that fell off her stand. Some guilt members get out to investigate the scene as the gate keepers look at each other in confusion.
Meanwhile at the advanced fire clan, one of the members bursts in, voice quick and nervous, finding Magenta and the others chatting.
"Magenta! there's some kind of earth quake outside," he addresses him but Magenta just smirks at he glances at him.
"Don't worry about it, this is just temporary. Now..... i don't how long it will it take for our members to return from their expedition at the beast lands." Magneta insures him as he returns to chatting with other members.
"I am not sure, they should have been done with it by now considering that they could deal with the creatures from of the beast land easily," one of the members responds as some nod in agreement.
"To be honest it would have been easier if Yubashi was part of the expedition as his taming would put the creatures to rest," another member lazily says as he took a sip of water.
"Where even is he?" the member continues as he looks around the guilt, not seeing any trace of Yubashi as he takes a sigh.
Everyone stops their chatter as they hear some murmuring with a hint of rage from outside. Out of nowhere someone kicks the entrance wide open as they get in, revealing Liora and Juda.
"That damn idiot!" Liora shouts in anger as Juda flinches, causing herself to hit a table as she adjusted her glasses. They all look at her in surprise while others in amusement. Liora has always had her anger issues since joining the guilt. Others argue that he might be consistently angry but can be easily fixed, frequently said by those perving over her. Because of this she is feared by nearly every member of the guilt.
"Is there something wrong Liora, Magenta asks as he approaches her, intrigued by her mood.
"That so called summoner Yubashi just left the hospital and Ren is nowhere to be seen. I wouldn't be surprised if Ren was with him.
"Well i saw them leaving the city through the great gate. I don't know why but the guardians just let them out like that, i mean sure they may be able to survive by themselves out there but still.....,"One of the members immediately addresses her as he sighs.
The room falls silent as Liora takes the information in, Jade tapping her feet on the ground nervously. "Tell me your joking," she lets out a whisper under her breath, startling the member.
"Unfortunately i am not, you can ask the gate keepers if you doubt me," he responded as some members murmured between themselves.
Liora clenches her fist as she grins angrily as she hears his statement." I am going to kill him if anything happens to Ren."
Magneta gives no attention to the scene as he approaches the entrance. "Lets go Liora, he commands Liora sternly as he exits the guilt. Liora bites her teeth in anger for a bit before leaving as the 'earth quake' stops. Everyone sighs as they leave, happy that the raging woman left.
**********************************************************************************
Ren lets out a cough as she approaches the energy field she created, stepping out of it effortlessly as it shatters. As the dust clears she takes notice of the scene around her. She finds the two figures in black robes on the ground unconscious as well as Yubashi having lost consciousness, leaning against the tree he was hit into.
Ren rushes over him worryingly, leaning against him on places her head on her chest in search of a heart beat.
"Pls don't be dead, pls don't be dead," she repeats the lines in her mind as she focuses on hearing his beat. She hears his heart beat increasing and decreasing at an alarming rate. She peeps her head up and looks around nervously in search of any sign of help. She finds the cage the slime was held captive in torn to pieces as she wounders where the slime would have gone to. As she turns around she finds a green blob staring back at her as it blinks, causing her to scream in surprise as she finds out that its the slime that was caged.
The green slime just tilts its head slightly as it continued to stare at her..
