The Hidden Mission Reappears

Lein felt frustrated, so he said to the old man behind the boy, "Sorry sir, but we really don't want to form a team right now."

The old man looked at Lein calmly, staying silent.

"Little brother... what is your purpose, and why did you choose us out of so many people?" Nita asked kindly.

"Well... it's like this, sister. I'm looking for something like this." The boy showed a picture of a purple plant with wide flowers. "I need this flower to heal my mother. She hasn't left her room for a long time..." The boy's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke.

"Sister, you and your brother are the brightest lights here," the boy said, looking at Lein and Nita with hopeful eyes.

"Young master, remember your promise... otherwise, I will have to take you back," the old man, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up when the boy explained his vision.
