[Don't you think it's rude to left just like that?]
'Primis: I paid for the food before leaving.'
[That's not what I mean. I mean you left without even saying goodbye to them. You didn't even tell them your name.]
'Primis: We talked for mere 2-3 mins. So, we are still strangers.'
Hearing Primis, Twilight became silent. She can't deny that. Primis then looked down.
Right now, He was sitting on the top the Babel Tower and looking down at all Orario. Babel Tower has total of 50 floors, so its height was very high. No matter who looked down they will only see everyone at the size of ants. But with Primis eyesight he could see everything perfectly.
It was a very beautiful view up there. Everyone had started to close their shops. Many Adventurers had returned to their inn or Familia to rest for the day. Many merchants and shopkeepers who placed their stalls were moving away their carts and stalls to return home.
Lights were being turned off one-by-one from every building. Once all the houses turned their lights off, the moonlight fell on Orario making it very sacred. Looking at the beautiful Orario right now, Primis took out his Painting board and painting materials one-by-one from his inventory and started painting.
As he started painting a smile appeared of his face. Next, he opened his mouth and started singing.
(*A/N: If anyone wants to know what this song is it is "Ashes Remain – Right here": https://youtu.be/_MvhmPc_0dM. Song is up ahead.)

{
I can see every tear you've cried
Like an ocean in your eyes
All the pain and the scars have left you cold
I can see all the fears you face
Through a storm that never goes away
Don't believe all the lies that you've been told
I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here
I will show you the way back home
Never leave you all alone
I will stay until the morning comes
I'll show you how to live again
And heal the brokenness within
Let me love you when you come undone
I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here
When daybreak seems so far away
Reach for my hand
When hope and peace begin to fray
Still I will stand
Right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here}

SOMETIMES BEFORE PRIMIS STARTED TO SING.
Since Primis had reached Grandmaster in all skills, everyone in Orario started to hear his song. They all felt like someone was singing right by their ear. But when they turned, they can't see anyone there.
Everyone started to wake up one-by-one, but no one made any commotion. The voice was so good that it felt like it was soothing their hearts. They all felt very calm and happy. They all just closed their eyes and started to enjoy it. They had never heard anything like this before.
Civilians are not the only ones, every Adventurer present in the Orario woke up and started to listen. Freya Familia, Loki Familia, Hephaestus Familia, Ganesha Familia, Ishtar Familia, Hermes Familia and every Familia in the Orario alongside their Gods and Goddess all wake up.
At this moment, in the Room of Prayer under the Guild a person opened his eyes. He had white hair and blue eyes. He wore a white robe with a black hooded cloak and sandals. He is Ouranos. The head of the Guild and one of the first Gods to descend from heaven. He uses his divinity to keep monsters from coming out of the dungeon.
Fels hadn't reported him about Primis yet. He just like any other people present in the Orario tried to locate the source of voice. But to his astonishment he couldn't. No matter how much he tried he always failed.
After sometimes, he muttered.
Ouranos: Looks like changes are going to happen in Orario soon.
After that he smiled and closed his eyes started to enjoy the song.

In an Inn faraway from Babel tower, inside a room there is Pallum. She has a petite body with chestnut-colored hair and eyes. She was wearing a slightly torn red and white hooded top, a red skirt, black tights, and light brown boots.
She had just returned after selling the stuffs she got in dungeon today. Just as she was about to change, she heard the song. She looked out of the windows. A tear falls from one of her eyes because of soothing effect that the song had on her heart.
???: What a beautiful song. *sob*
After that, she fell and sat on the floor with her back on the door of the room. She closed her eyes and just enjoyed the song.

At the south-east of the Orario, where Entertainment District was. In one of the rooms of the brothel there is a Renard. She had long blonde hair, green eyes, and fox ears and a tail. She was wearing a red kimono. She woke up from her sleep because of the song.
As she kept on listening the song, she started to tear up too. Tears started to fall from her eyes like a stream. She hugged her shivering body and tried her best to keep her voice down so that others won't listen.
???: *sniff* please *sniff* help me *sob*.
She started crying but no one heard her.
**
**
Everyone was listening to the song, but no one knows who was singing. God, Goddess, Adventurers everyone tried to find the source but to no vail. Even Ottar, the Level 7 Adventurer with Alias 'King' can't pinpoint the location.
Except for few people. Even though they don't know where the source was, but they knew whose voice is it.
In a pub, where the city gate guards were enjoying themselves stopped after hearing the song. All guards become silent and started to enjoy it. But in between them there were two people who had shocked expression on their face. Chief guard and his attendant.
These two were those who stopped Primis at the Gate and talked to him. They both looked at each other and nodded.
'Chief and Guard 3: This voice belongs to "The Black Swordsman". And he can sing?'
**
**
Eina who had already returned to her apartment and was sleeping, also woke up. At first, she was confused and thought it was just a dream but soon she snapped back from her half-sleep when she realizes whose voice it belongs too.
'Eina: Primis'
Since the voice appeared near her ear she looked around and found out that there was no one beside her. So, she got up from her bed and checked up her parents and younger sister. Only to know that she was not the only one who can hear the song. They were also awake and enjoying the song. She then returned to her room and sat at the corner of her bed and smiled.
'Eina: I didn't know you can sing Primis and this beautifully. Now I really want to know what's more you are hiding. I can't wait to meet you tomorrow.'
After that she also closed her eyes and indulged herself in the song.
**
**
Fels had just returned to guild after completing some business. He was making his way towards Ouranos but stopped all the sudden because of song. He can't believe what he was hearing.
'Fels: How can someone with such dreadful killing intent sing this beautifully. This "The Black Swordsman" is shrouded in mist that even I can't see through. I must hurry told Ouranos about him.'
After that Fels increased his pace and go to the Room of Prayer where Ouranos resides.

In Hostess of Fertility, Mia has already closed the shop for today. And other already cleaned the place so they were going to their dormitory for rest. They were talking in the way.
Syr: I still can't believe I forget to ask his name. Ahhhhh. I am so frustrated right now.
Ryuu: *sigh* Forget it. We will ask him when we meet him in future.
Syr: How can I forget it. I am very angry. He should have told us his name when we were telling him ours. It's common manners.
Ryuu remained quiet and didn't answer. But in her mind, she was also thinking about Primis. The man that touched her hand.
Chole: What's happen, meow~?
Anya: You both have been slacking out during closing time just now, meow~.
Syr: Chloe and Anya do you know, a very rude customer came today. That's why I am angry.
Ryuu: R-Rude? How?
Chloe: Rude, meow~?
Anya: Who, meow~?
Syr: That person was wearing Black Coat and was carrying Black Sword on his back.
Lunoire: Black Coat? Black Sword? Oh. You are talking about him.
Chloe: You know, meow~.
Lunoire: Yes. I am the one who received him at the entrance.
After that Lunoire glanced at Syr and spoke.
Lunoire: But he didn't appear to be a rude person to me. What did he do?
Syr: He didn't tell me his name.
Ryuu: ...
Chloe: ...
Anya: ...
Lunoire: ...
Hearing Syr reply, they turned to her and started giving her weird look. Seeing their expressions Syr pout.
Syr: HEY. What's with that look.
Chloe: He is rude because he didn't tell you his name, meow~?
Anya: Seriously, meow~?
Lunoire: Syr. *sigh*
Syr: Stop giving me that look. He even touched Ryuu's hand.
This time they all turned to Ryuu. When she saw that everyone was looking at her, Ryuu turned her gaze away. With a slight blush on her face, she responds.
Ryuu: I-I don't m-mind.
They all become shocked by Ryuu expressions and respond. They all thought.
'All Four: This isn't dream, right? Ryuu, who always have stoic expression on her face is actually blushing.'
Chloe: Nyayaya. Now even I want to meet this...…" The Black Swordsman", meow~.
Anya: "The Black Swordsman", meow~?
Chloe: Well, we can't just call him 'you' or 'him' after he stoles the heart of our Ryuu. And since he wears Blackcoat with black sword, Let's call him "The Black Swordsman", meow~.
Ryuu: H-He d-didn't stole my h-heart o-or anything.
Ryuu tried to rebuke but no one believed her after seeing her face which turned as red as tomato after hearing Chloe words.
'Ryuu: But still, "The Black Swordsman". It's a great name.'
Ryuu thought that and smiled. Seeing her smile, they all become shocked again. But before anyone could say anything they all heard a song and stopped all their movements.
I hope you guys give me power stones. It’s a little thing to you but it does a lot for me, and I will greatly appreciate it by writing and releasing more chapters at the end of each month.
