"Near here..." Eros walked in front of everyone with his hand holding Eriu, trying to remember the path he and the three men had taken.

The village chief didn't allow it, because he was afraid that these people might have dangerous weapons. But the villagers, seeing that the fragile child wanted to help, immediately sided with Eros, all of them seeming to forget that they didn't want Eros to go back there either and wanted to look for him themselves. 

They were a little worried about Eros, who was suddenly crying, but as long as the child asked, everything would be granted.

And since magic could not be used, the villagers became bolder, thinking that they were stronger than the two people who carried weapons but did not use magic.

Eriu didn't want to come, preferring to go back with Ariadne, but because Eros wouldn't let go of his hand, he was dragged here.

"Here! They and I were here!" 

With confidence, Eros pointed to the large cave at the end of the forest. Near the cave grew red roses that smelled like blood to Louise. Even he, who had lived here for 17 years, had never noticed the existence of roses with such a smell.

Everyone who followed the quest felt creeped out just looking at the front of the cave. One of them seemed to remember something and turned to the person next to him, "Isn't this the cave where that woman died?"

"They definitely won't be able to get out, I'm sure they're cursed to death by that woman for disturbing her resting place..."

There is an urban legend in this village that tells the story of a Nameless Woman. 

Before the village became as peaceful as it is today, there was a story in it.

Te Amo village is a village in the middle of two kingdoms there were 4 other villages but they chose to follow each kingdom and one of the kingdoms wanted to brand this village as belonging to their kingdom. They came and immediately kidnapped women and children to be used as prisoners and promised the villagers that if they signed a treaty and recognized that their village belonged to the kingdom, they would release the kidnapped people.

One of those women was of course her, the woman who would be the 'hope' for this village. 

The kingdom didn't care about the women and children, they let the prison guards do as they pleased. The women were having their nightmares while the children could only watch their mother being treated indecently by all of them.

The nameless woman cried and prayed, hoping that 'hope' would come to her. One day the woman prayed again and God answered her prayers. 

The woman became the incarnation of 'Ramiel' at which time 'Ramiel' broke her connection with the world. 

The woman immediately rescued all the kidnapped people and freed them from prison. With her fierce lightning, she destroyed the prison along with the guards who had committed crimes against them. No one dared to approach her, not even magic could be used against her.

The rebels, who were also fighting the royal knights, were shocked by the arrival of a woman who suddenly burned all the knights. 

The kidnapped prisoners immediately ran to their families, crying with hope. The woman immediately shouted and raised her hand.

[I promise you, I will destroy this kingdom and make it never appear on the map again!]

After that, the kingdom became an ocean where sinners were thrown by the villagers of Te Amo. 

As time passed, the woman grew older and older. One day she cleaned out her house and took all her belongings with her. The villagers were naturally surprised and tried to stop her, but the woman threatened that no one should follow her or attempt to enter the cave where she rested.

If no one heeded her words, they would die by her hand. 

And that was the end of the story of the nameless woman.

Because after she disappeared, no one remembered her name. Yet they all remember her. Her story and her existence.

The story of the Nameless Woman became a story that would always be told by their grandmother or grandfather. Because they were the last to see her.

Eriu looked back at the 'X' mark on the nearby tree and convinced himself that this was the secret place he and Eros had visited 3 years ago! 

But where is the big tree and the river? Why is there a dark cave in front of me now?

"What are you thinking about?" Eros tapped him on the shoulder, waking Eriu from his reverie. Eriu was a little hesitant to ask Eros. 

Only Eros knew that he was a person with a bad memory, especially when it came to directions.

Eriu was sure that he had taken Eros to a 'secret place' in the summer of August. Even Eros was aware of the alphabet signs he had made to mark the way there.

After Reliun talked to the villagers, he walked up to the three of them where they were not far from the villagers.

"Mr. Grith, it looks like we have to wait for the people inside to come out, and the villagers said they would still help, but since this cave itself is forbidden they only want to stay here for 5 days in a row to wait."

Louise nodded in response to Reliun's statement, "That's okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Village Chief. Otherwise, my wife and I would find it difficult to seek help."

As Eriu could hear, everything would only last 5 days, and this was his chance to find out more about this suspicious place. Several months before Eros appeared, he had often searched for various famous stories in this village, including The Cave and The Sea.

In the past, he thought that the god this village worshipped was a small god who symbolized hope, but after looking deeper, he discovered several oddities, he was lucky because he was able to meet someone who knew about the Nameless Women.

The grandmother, who knew that I was interested in this story, was happy and immediately told the story, but the grandmother clearly said that "Ramiel" was the god who helped the nameless woman. But the problem is, why do the people in this village never mention the name of their God and only call him the God of Hope? 

It's as if they have forgotten their God.

They even considered this cave to be cursed, and for that reason, no one dared go near it.

And it is possible that if Eros dies or gets a death ending, that 'secret place' will be the place where he 'gets revived' and starts from the beginning.

Before the day he almost died, he took Eros there, but Eros seemed to dislike that idea, even after that day Eros often reminded him not to go there again.

Since that day, Eros has become even more honest.

Eros more and more resembles the characteristics of the protagonist who has a sharp mouth.

I'm even sure that the person next to me has been reincarnated many times!

"Eri, go back with Eros." Louise called to Eriu who was standing right next to him with a stick in his hand that he was tapping on the ground. "What about you, dad? I think I should go with you."

"Go home and listen to your father. It's dangerous for children here." Reliun nodded beside him, "Let Uncle take care of your father, if anything happens, Uncle will send someone to inform you about it immediately."

"Okay, let's go back, Eriu." Without further ado, Eros pulled Eriu away from there. Waving to everyone there, Eros thanked them, "Bye, uncle, aunt! Thank you for helping me!"

They were immediately touched to see Eros cheering them on, "Eros doesn't want us to worry by being cheerful in trouble, he's a good boy."

"I would be the happiest mother-in-law in the world if my daughter could marry him."

Reliun laughed after hearing the gossip, "Your son, Eri, is very lucky!"

"Of course!" Louise replied with a big smile on his face, "The two of them are as inseparable as fire and smoke."

"Haha, just watch, I will introduce Linda to Eros." Not wanting to be outdone by the residents who wanted Eros as their son-in-law, Reliun immediately pulled out his trump card.

"No way, my son will win. By the way, how is your first child? Has your wife heard from him lately?"

"Unfortunately no. That kid didn't even send a single letter to us! It must be because he feels comfortable living in the middle of the city." Reliun sighed and looked up at the sky which still showed gloomy clouds.
