Feeling the wind breeze, Little Blue notice a figure on top of the crater coming down with a worried expression.

"Mom!"

"Aunty!!"

The blue haired woman caught both of the little girls in her embrace while looking around the crater, only than Nodus laying on the floor in the middle of the hole she could not find else.

"Lur-Ahem, Little Blue, what happened here?!"

After making sure that the little girls had no injuries, Little Blue's mother asked her daughter. Little Blue explained everything from the falling star till the savages appearance.

"That person saved us... I am sure of it."

Little Blue pointed toward Nodus.

"Aunty I am... sorry it's all my fault Wahhhhh."

Ali cried as she apologized, but the blue-haired woman only replied with a smile while gently stroking the little girl's cheeks.

"The star disappeared, leaving only that person ...?"

The blue haired woman confidently walks toward Nodus without any hesitation a magic graph appeared quickly and shot a huge ice spear that easily pierced the savage who was laying beside Nodus.

After a quick peek through his visor." What a beautiful child. " murmured the woman.

The blue haired woman lift up Nodus, one arm under his legs while the other is supporting his back , she carried him like a princess toward the two little girls who were still holding each other hands , If his subordinates knew that their elite legion commander was being carried by a woman, like a princess no less, they would probably lose their mind just for picturing it.

"Let's go back home and Ali, do you want to stay for the night?"

Ali nodded furiously as she started at Nodus. As they arrive in front of the hut, a middle-aged man wearing a brown bear skin who was sitting in front of the door quickly stood up and walk toward the girls.

"Senior Lati is everything alright? Is Senior Naire not with you?"

Aren worriedly inquires the blue haired woman as she carries Nodus to the hut, ignoring the hunter.

Noticed her mom cold personality with the stranger, Little Blue and Ali hurriedly explained to the hunter and told him that everything was taken care of.

"I am sorry Uncle Aren, my mom doesn't like to interact with people.."

Aren nodded with a shy smile and walked back toward the village.

"Don't worry Ali, uncle will let your family know that you are fine."

Little Blue and Ali waved at the hunter as he returns to the village, as soon he vanished into the forest, Little Blue and her friend ran inside the wooden hut. The wooden cabin was small and compact, square shaped with an upper floor that has two small bedrooms, the one slightly bigger than the other belonged the parents.

Lati gently laid Nodus onto a small wooden bed covered with stacks of fur, seeing the two girls by the door frame that had no door, Lati lifted her finger close to her lips, giving them the silence sign.

"Shhh.. come here and help me remove the clothes."

The woman and the little girls sat around the low bed, slowly patting around the black fiber suit. Little Blue felt like she touched something hard in the middle of the chest, as she fiddle around, Little Blue pressed a small circle button by accident.

"Fingerprints invalid.....Due to low energy-"

The girls were shocked at the robotic voice that faded away slowly due to the lack of energy, the black suit slowly melted away into his wrist, leaving Nodus only with a pair of gray boxer shorts and a white tank top.

"Wooooow.."

Said, Ali, as she quickly noticed her mistake and covered her mouth while Little Blue also felt a sense of praise for the sleeping beauty.

"Ali, could you go downstairs and boil a pot of hot water? And Lur-Little Blue, bring me a set of pajamas from my room."

Ali nodded and went downstairs right away while Little Blue went into her parent's bedroom's storage chest.

" Here mom, I got one of yours. "

Little Blue was holding onto a white nightgown toward her mother who was sitting on the floor beside the low bed.

" Ai...Little Blue .. Get one of your dad's pajamas, not mine... thi..this person is a boy..."

Little Blue was shocked at the revelation but quickly went back to her parent's room.

"Silly girl..."

After the blue-haired woman changed Nodus into a looser pair of clothes and making sure he wasn't wounded anywhere, she walked out of the room and led the girls back down to prepare a late night meal. Sitting around a small table filled with food on ceramic plates, the girls enjoyed the food until Ali quickly recalled something important.

" I envy you so much Little Blue, you can easily use magic..."

The mother and daughter pair halted their forks and looked at each other after a slight nod from the mother Little Blue then looked at Ali.

"Ali... Could you keep it a secret please..my family life depends on it.."

"Ah... I am sorry Little Blue...Aunty... I will keep it with my life on the line!"

Lati and Little Blue smiled while also feeling a sense of relief.

" Then since I can trust Ali..." After taking a long breath of air, Little Blue finally explained to her.

" My real name is actually Luru... Luru Bellia, we came from the Blue Deer kingdom.."

Ali was surprised and eagerly asked her friend about the life in a kingdom.

Little Blue who kept her identity from her only friend in this village felt a sense of guilt that grew over these past 6 months. Now that she did not need to hold back anymore, she told Ali everything.
