"well if you live long enought like me, there a something that i hope i will never see it again"

"But since The knight already kill that thing, i hope that thing wont came out."

"I see."

Suddenly something comes to mind.

"I wonder what Brother Hekal Is doing right now"

Meanwhile, Hekal and his Comrade finally reach their Destination. 

"So this is it"

"ah home sweet home"

As the Vice Captain leads the Way, Hekal begins his Mission. 

"So where is his house.? "

"No need to rush my friend, we need to find something for our stomach first. I'm starving right now"

"yes sir"

As they enter the cafe. they start to order their meal.

"Aah it's been a while since I ate here, today is my treat"

When they are busy having their meal, Hekal starts to have goosebumps. 

"vice-captain, I think we have been followed"

The vice captain seems to notice it Let me guess, the Woman At that window? "

As the Vice-captain Starts making That Unalive expression, Hekal begins to question who's that woman. 

"do you know her?"

The Vice-captain tries to stay calm and reply normally 

"no, no I don't "

Even though the vice-captain Denied it, Hekal Still didn't believe him. But he tries to get along with it and just ignores that woman and Continues eating.

Finally, that woman go away.

It can be seen that the Vice-captain Is gazing at where the woman goes.

After that time, they begin their Mission,

The Vice-captain gives The Bag to Hekal. 

"Make sure to find his House, if you still can't find it, just ask people nearby"

"yes sir, I will keep that in mind"

"well good luck, I have some other thing to settle while I'm here"

Without asking more questions. The Time finally comes to Night and We can see Harith And other Merc Moving Very Slowly In the Forest, with the limited Light source, they stay on high alert. 

"Stay Alert, Everyone, they might be anywhere, be sure to not fall for their trap."

As the Merc Captain Give that motivation speech. we can see Harith shaking on his horse while Praying that he will come out alive. While his left hand is holding the gun that his father gave him before. 

Suddenly, the Front squad stop moving, 

"Why are we stopping?"

"There, someone still alive, you go check him, "

In front of them is a destroyed carriage, which looks like it is being raided and left no one alive except that single man who looks unconscious on the ground. 

"yes sir"

One of the front Squad guards went to check that man if he was still alive or not. Meanwhile at the town. Hekal still looks for Tedric Nogumo's house but no one seems to know where he lives like He didn't even exist to them. 

"what's wrong with them, didn't even remember where he lived."

Unaware he encounters the Old man who is just about to close his shop. 

"well here goes nothing, Excuse me, Sir! "

"huh, me? 

"yes you"

Hekal just hopes it is worth trying.

"did you by any chance know a guy named Eric nogumo? "

"oh, You mean that beggar?

"beggar? "

yeah, I know him, it's been months since he joined The volunteer Ranger Force, are you perhaps his comrade?"

Hekal becomes confused as to why that old man calls his comrade a Beggar, but he still needs to fulfill the mission. 

"don't you dare to call my comrade a beggar, you old man,"

As Hekal was about to reach his limit, he tried to calm himself down before he made a fuss there. 

"what? it's a fact. But why do you want to more about him? "

"I want to send this letter to someone he used to know, maybe you know where they live"

"ugh whatever, let me see it"

Even though Hekal feels furious and annoyed with this old man's mindset about Eric, he at least feels grateful that at least someone knows about him even though this old man's attitude is below rock bottom. He begins to take out the letter. 

"wait, where is it? "

As he searched that back again he noticed that the letter was gone

"it can't be, where is it? 

"I'm still waiting, that"

"you not helping, that letter is important to someone he cared about, and if he didn't receive that letter, how supposed he knows that his friend is already DEAD?!"

As Hekal just makes a Hell of a voice, the situation is filled with dead silence. 

"it's She, and She just lives not far from here"

After the old man Gave the address of that to-be Receiver, he started dashing with his magic to reach the house, 

"Finally, I made it. As he was about to knock on the Door, He heard someone crying inside. 

He starts to go to the side of the house to have a look from the window for a better view. 

What he saw inside was an unimaginable thing that he saw right inside the house, the woman who stalked them when they ate earlier sitting on the chair crying, and in front of her, The Vice Captain who cried a little bit on his kneels. 

"why, why didn't you save him"

"I'm sorry, it was My fault, he died Protecting The other Knight, especially me, I'm sorry"

As they were still moaning about the death of Eric, and Hekal just watching them from outside the window,

"What The fk was that"

The scene changed to Harith and Hobs at the Back Squad, They were curious about what happened at the front. 

"they were here recently,"

"I don't get it, why they just don't Kill that man but leave him alive like that instead? "
