199 It's better to destroy this vile thing.

Purgatory is always busy. Today is not any different. 

There's a long queue in front of the help desk. Aren and Ai ignore the queue and go straight to the helpdesk. Aren hides the boy under his cloak as he moves closer to the helpdesk. While Ai blocks the confused ghost with a smile, Aren goes to the help desk woman and asks, "Lady, I have a query."

"You are breaking the queue." The woman eyes him darkly. "And you are alive."

Not just him, the boy who is blocking the ghost is also alive.

"Can you tell me if someone named Takayama Ari died or not?" Aren inquires with a polite voice. "It's quite urgent. She was born on Iravan too. Her name was… Well, it's still Ari."

"Just tell me your name." The woman clicks her tongue. "Ari is a common name. I will do the contact tracing."

"I am Arenyr Starfire." Aren tells her, "Also, I am from Iravan."
