Outside World and Bandits.

Oh yeah! Another late chapter that is nearly made in a single day! My bad, really. I'm trying to catch up but it was getting harder and harder to write, which causes the chapter delays.

Anyways, this chapter has 5383 word-count and I hope you all enjoy this!

And another thing, comment on the paragraph if you see something wrong with it, grammatically, since Google Docs-dono is quite lacking in that department.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yeah… Though we haven't seen whatever sceneries are there in that world, seeing it up above is indeed a little captivating…" Garam nodded in a daze.

Urek smiled wryly as they ignored him and listened to Hazuki's introduction. It's his home-planet, why are they listening to my Bro, who's an outsider, for introductions?

"So yeah, that's it. I barely know anything in Urek's world and everything I said was common sense in the outside world. Let's leave the further explanations for later since we have a local here with us." Hazuki said as he finished his explanations.

"By the way Hazuki, when are we going to go to your world?" Ying Yueru couldn't help but ask. She was curious about the world where his lover grew up and made friends. Though that's not the main reason….

Ying Yueru's voice was heard by everyone since the place remained silent after Hazuki ended his speech.

And indeed, the matter about Hazuki's world roused up everyone's attention. Though all of them remained silent, waiting for Hazuki to talk about it himself. After all, Ying Yueru, Hazuki's lover, asked it herself.

They couldn't just barge into a lovers conversation like side-wheels, right?

Well, even though they are silent, their ears are all perked up, alert for Hazuki's reply? After all, everyone here is almost dependent on Hazuki as they are currently on the outside world. Though that's not the main reason for Yuri and Garam…

After all, they would rather be in Hazuki's home-world than to be in Urek's Home-world. Who knows what would happen if they stayed with that freak?

Their stares are very obvious, causing Hazuki to chuckle wryly. Their gazes are almost piercing his body so how could Hazuki not notice it?

"Soon, Ying'er. Maybe after we leave this realm." Hazuki replied to Ying Yueru while his hand lightly patted her head.

Then he looked at them, causing Yuri and the others to avert their gaze almost instinctively. "Don't worry, folks. If you want, I can also take you to my home-world."

Hearing Hazuki's words, Yuri immediately celebrated. "Yay! Sis Garam, we might not have to go to Urek's world after all!"

Garam was happy, but she was calmer than Yuri's response. "Yeah, good thing Ying Yueru-san mentioned this thing. It's actually nerve-wracking to endure asking about it…"

"Well, either way you go, Princess." Evan muttered. He doesn't really mind where he goes. Being Yuri��s guide was all it matters. He felt like he couldn't just leave Yuri alone because he's worried something might happen to her without him by her side.

Urek became downcast as they immediately agreed to Hazuki. That's because he wants to show them around his world and showcase his 'generous' personality. Urek thought that he might impress Garam by that and might finally change her mind about him.

Thinking about this, Urek felt that he shouldn't just give it all up. So he went beside Hazuki and snatched him from Ying Yueru for a second. Then Urek dragged Hazuki away from them, hoping to have a conversation with Hazuki alone.

With his right arm hooked at Hazuki's neck, Urek whispered to Hazuki. "Bro! Please stay with me for a while! I want to spend time with Garam, Bro! This is the only chance I have into changing her mind about me! Will you please help me just this time, Bro?!"

Hearing Urek's voice, which is filled with pleading, Hazuki chuckled. "Don't worry too much. I said 'later', right? We will still go to your world and stay with you for quite some time before we leave. And, why the heck are you so nervous? If I can take them with me, then surely I can take you with us too."

"Oh, I see… Ehehe… My bad, Bro. I was so nervous I didn't even take time to analyze your words... " Urek embarrassedly chuckled while scratching his head. His face was nearly twisted into the embodiment of embarrassment.

Hazuki smiled and said. "Well, I should've expected your response. After all, you are always like that as long as it concerns Garam."

Urek became even more embarrassed. "Don't put it like that, Bro… You know that Garam's been on my mind since I saw her, right? I tried many things just to forget her but I just can't. For me, her existence is irreplaceable."

"If that's the case, then you should stop acting like a hooligan in front of her. Also, stop flirting with every girl you see. That would only worsen your image in her mind." Hazuki said with a teasing smile.

Hearing this, Urek chuckled embarrassedly once more. "E-er… I might be in trouble, Bro… I developed this personality as a way to forget Garam. But now, I can't stop myself from doing those things! It's like what I am doing is instinct. I couldn't stop myself from flirting with beautiful girls! Bro, help me, will you!?"

Hazuki just laughed at his misfortune since he wouldn't help him about this matter at all. After all, if he removed it, then one of his sources of entertainment would be gone, wouldn't it?

"That's for yourself to solve, Bro. I wouldn't be able to do anything about it since it concerns your consciousness."

Urek made a pitiful face once he heard Hazuki's response.

Hazuki then extricated himself from Urek's grasp and he turned towards everyone once again. "As I said, we would go to my home-world 'later'. For now, we will proceed to Urek's world and let him reunite with his family first. During that time, everyone can enjoy themselves by trying everything Urek's world can offer. Watch beautiful sceneries and explore, eat different kinds of foods, satisfy your desire to know about the outside world, everything."

"Well… I guess that could also work…?" Yuri muttered. Looks like she was really excited about Hazuki's home-world.

"Don't be like that, Yuri. You will surely enjoy it after you get in there."

"Stay in my personal space since it will be troublesome to bring you in the vacuum. You will not be able to breathe once we leave the area around the Tower's door." Hazuki said as he opened a portal heading towards his Kamui dimension.

"Understood." Baek Ryun nodded and entered Kamui once more. Out of all of them, Baek Ryun was the calmest and obeys Hazuki's recommendations almost unconditionally.

After Baek Ryun entered, each of them followed and entered Kamui.

A few seconds later, Hazuki was left alone in the vast asteroid where the Tower's door is located.

"I should be able to fly here…" Hazuki jumped and tried to fly. And indeed, he can.

Just like how he was able to fly in the World of Void in the Dragon Ball Universe through his Six Path Powers, Hazuki is also able to use the same method here.

Confirming his ability to fly, Hazuki didn't dawdle around and immediately shot to outer space, heading towards Urek's planet.

He couldn't teleport there since he didn't know the exact location of the planet. And even though he could ask the lady goddess for help, Hazuki didn't do it since he himself wants to experience traveling in the vacuum.

But after half an hour of flight, Hazuki was nearly regretting not asking the lady goddess about it.

'Why the heck was it so far?! Does the area around the Tower's door have a goddamned telescopic barrier?!' Hazuki swore while staring at Urek's world, which is still fist sized in his sight.

'Ah fuck it!' Hazuki swore as he used Kamui to teleport vast distances ahead of him. He only estimated the distance so he wasn't sure if he would end up on Urek's planet or not.

*Woosh* Hazuki's figure was twisted as a vortex appeared and swallowed his body.

The next moment, Hazuki looked ahead of him and saw Urek's planet. Right now, the planet wasn't fist-sized as before, but plate-sized. (Lol, the comparison. Haha.)

'Ah, another one.' Once again, Hazuki teleported with his Kamui. After the second teleportation, Hazuki finally arrived near Urek's planet.

Though it wasn't that near, technically, because of how big Urek's planet was. Hazuki estimates that he's still a few million kilometers away from Urek's planet, yet the planet was already covering Hazuki's sight.

'Huge! This should be multiple the size of Jupiter… No! This is nearly as big as the fucking sun! What the heck?! A planet as big as the sun?! Wait, I shouldn't be surprised anymore after seeing the Realms in Primal Chaos!' Hazuki thought, remembering the God Burying Inferno Prison which is Five Hundred Thousand Kilometers wide. Furthermore, the fricking place is only a part of the Flame God Realm!

'Interesting…' Then Hazuki flew towards the planet. A few minutes later, Hazuki could finally feel the laws of Urek's world.

He could finally feel the pull of Gravity dragging him into the planet. Though it is weak, it is still there nonetheless.

Other than that, Hazuki could also feel the unique energy from this planet. It is similar to Heavenly Energy but not quite since this energy is mostly concerned with physical energy. Heavenly Energy has Spiritual Energy as the dominant force.

'Hmmm… This should be the reason why Urek is powerful, Physically, other than the fact that he had that accursed bloodline and bloodline skill.'

By now, Hazuki could clearly feel the aura of the residents of the Planet. Some have more powerful presence while others are nearly negligible due to their number. (Talking about aura. For example, people always tend to notice bigger stuff among the numerous smaller ones.)

As he was falling from the skies, Hazuki was thinking. 'I should teleport to somewhere populous. That way, we can find where Urek's empire is immediately.'

*Woosh* A portal appeared in front of Hazuki. As he was falling downwards, he directly shot towards it.

*Bang* The stone road beneath Hazuki was smashed as he directly fell on it. The portal was above him, and his feet were planted on the smashed road.

'Ah, shit. I forgot to soften my landing!'

Almost all of the people around were looking at him weirdly. They even talked among themselves while pointing at Hazuki.

And although Hazuki couldn't understand a word they said, he could somewhat guess what they meant.

"Look, who is that weirdo? How did he suddenly appear there? Furthermore, who the heck smashes the ground unreasonably? Was he tryna get our attention?" This is how their looks meant to Hazuki.

Seeing that he gathered too much attention to himself, Hazuki sped away and went to a place where there are only a few people.

Though Hazuki only ran away, the same could not be seen by the bystanders. For them, it seemed like Hazuki disappeared like a mirage.

"!@#$% ^&*()!"

--------------------------

Hazuki then reappeared outside of the city. Literally outside of the city since he can touch the city walls, which is just beside him. Well, the area is secluded because it was quite a distance away from the gates.

*Woosh* Hazuki then proceeded to take out Ying Yueru and the others from the Kamui Dimension.

As soon as they came out, Yuri and the others observed their surroundings with great ardor. That's because they knew that they would be in Urek's world once they were summoned out of Hazuki's dimension.

And of course, even though Yuri wants to go to Hazuki's home-world more, she would still be excited seeing the 'real' outside world.

*Inhales* Garam took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the wind blowing to their faces. The fresh smell of the plants and the soil were taken into her body and she couldn't feel more alive.

'This is it… The smell of the outside world..' Garam thought. The Tower has a unique fragrance due to the different species of plants and animals living there. Also, due to the Shinsu, there's almost no place in the Tower that has a naturally bad fragrance. (Shinsu is omnipresent in the Tower. You can say that the Tower is filled with water, Shinsu, and everything inside are fishes that rely on it to breathe. As a source of life, would Shinsu have a bad odor?)

For Garam, the Tower is too unnatural to the point it seemed to be scripted. The environment was almost too perfect, there's nothing in there that will earn the scorn of the inhabitants.

It's as if the inhabitants were forced to focus on climbing and the Tower and nothing else.

And for Garam, this new world is different from the Tower. Just with the unique fragrance in the air, Garam could tell that there's no omnipresent energy like the Shinsu. Everything here is natural and people had to breathe air to live. Though she could notice a subtle energy in the air, which is not omnipresent because it was quite thin.

'Wait... ' Garam suddenly stopped and turned towards Hazuki. "Uhmm… Hazuki-san? Did you do something to allow us to breathe in the air here?"

Hearing the matter, the Tower locals' ears were perked. 'Indeed… There's no Shinsu here so how can we breathe so naturally?'

"What are you talking about? Of course you can naturally breathe here since this world has an atmosphere!" Hazuki said with a chuckle. 'These Tower locals' common sense were quite weird since they came from a quite weird world… Haha..'

"Actually, the Tower is the one unusual here. That place would be plain vacuum if the Shinsu disappeared. So naturally, the inhabitants wouldn't be able to breathe if the Shinsu disappeared. Did you actually think that the lungs of a human were only decorations?" Hazuki added.

��Oh, so that's how it is…" Baek Ryun muttered while nodding repeatedly to himself. "Hmm… Hmm…"

"E-eh…" Garam embarrassedly chuckled. Such a simple explanation and we didn't know it?! That's a shame considering her three millenia lifespan…

"Now, now! We shouldn't care about those things for now! Right now, what we need is to explore!" Yuri said with sparkling eyes. Though she was more excited about Hazuki's home-world, it doesn't change the fact that she was excited seeing another world.

While the Tower locals are talking amongst themselves, Urek, the only inhabitant of the planet among them was pondering.

With his hand below his chin, Urek was thinking. 'Hm… Where could this be? It's been nearly a century since I left this place and I'm not familiar with the place…' (IUrek's stay in the Tower isn't made clear. The only thing known about this matter is that he cleared the Tower in 50 years. I don't know how much time has passed since he cleared the Tower so I made a rough estimation.)

Hazuki then suddenly came beside him. "So are we near your empire?"

Urek scratched his head and smiled wryly. Then he replied. "Bro, I can't answer that for now. I can't recognize the place since it's been quite a while since I left this world."

"But don't worry, I would surely know where to go once I found out the name of this city." He added confidently.

"Yeah, we're relying on you this time." Hazuki said then he used Kamui to teleport them inside the city. After all, it would be troublesome to enter the city through the gates since they don't have proper identification.

The alley where he teleported was a place he passed by earlier. The alley was quite secluded since it's covered by tall structures from opposite sides. And almost no people were passing by due to unknown reasons.

"Oh… It's not a skyscraper…" Yuri muttered. Well, that's because almost all of the normal buildings in the Tower were skyscrapers. For example, the hotel rooms for Regulars

"Okay, listen to me, everyone. After we get out of here, I want everyone to remain silent and leave the talking to Urek and me. Are we clear?" Hazuki said.

"Uhm." Everyone nodded since even if they wanted to do it, they won't be able to since they couldn't speak the language here.

"Then, Urek, lead the way!" Hazuki said to Urek, who's already raring to go.

"Alright!" Urek led the way out of the alley followed by Hazuki and the others.

As they went out of the alley, the people's eyes were immediately drawn towards them.

"Hey… They just came out from 'that' alley, didn't they?" A random male bystander said.

His friend, beside him, nodded. "Yeah… Who are they? Don't they know that it's forbidden to just enter that alley? Aren't they afraid of inciting the wrath of the Bloodhound gang?"

"Gus… Their clothes… They seem to be foreigners, aren't they?"

The person named Gus just shook his head. "Even if they are outsiders and don't know anything about it, they still wouldn't be spared. Furthermore, don't you see the women among them? Even if they hadn't entered that alley, those beasts from the Bloodhound Gang would still find trouble with them…"

His friend also just closed his eyes and shook his head too. Then he looked at them with pity. "You're right… Those bastards definitely wouldn't let those girls go… It's such a pity… Why would they even go to a goddamned city like this? They are just wasting their lives…"

His friend Gus wanted to reply to him, but shut his mouth as he saw something in the corner of his vision. His face immediately turned pale and he pulled his friend towards him and walked away without looking back.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Shhh! The Bloodhounds arrived! We better get away here or we might get involved!" Gus said.

Looking back, Gus' friend saw burly men with tattoos on the side of their faces. That tattoo is a unique marking for the Bloodhounds. His face immediately turned white and he walked even faster than his friend Gus.

That's because the Bloodhounds are tyrants of this city. They are able to do this because of just a person. Their leader.

Their leader is a powerful and vicious combatant that can beat even the whole authoritative force in this city. Even the City lord couldn't go against the man since he wasn't powerful enough to do so and because of the underlying background of the man.

That alley was something forbidden to the people of the City since most of the Bloodhounds frequent the area while dragging people.

The residents unanimously thought that this place holds the Bloodhound Gang's secrets and some people even braved it, trying to investigate the place.

They thought that they might be able to free themselves from the Tyrants, the Bloodhounds, as long as they inform those secrets to another powerful city.

But all of those people who tried to investigate died without knowing anything. Since then, the residents of the city treated that alley as a forbidden area.

---------------

The man leading the Bloodhounds is a tall, tanned man carrying a machete on his hip. His face was twisted into a savage grin as he stared at Urek.

The Bloodhounds behind him were also staring at Urek savagely, like lions playing with their prey.

The leader of the group continued forwards without saying anything. And in just a few seconds of walking, he's already in front of Urek.

The man stared at Urek with a downward gaze that seems to belittle Urek. But after the leader saw that Urek's eyes didn't contain fear but only amusement, he was irked.

"Quite a brave one, aren't you?" The man said with his low, grating voice. The men behind him roared in laughter as they understood that their leader.

Their leader is the type of villain that likes to break brave people. He relishes at the sight of the people begging him for mercy while bawling their guts out.

"Oh! Leader! Look at the women among the bastards!" One of the underlings shouted. His face was twisted into a lust-filled grin while scanning Yuri and the others.

Every Bloodhound turned their heads behind and their gazes were immediately filled with desire.

"Leader." All of them called and the bandits looked at each other before laughing intensely. It seems like they agreed upon something with just their gazes.

The leader, in the front, looked at Urek with a nasty grin. "Looks like I have to thank you for bringing these snacks for us, kid."

*Intense Laughter* The bandits were staring at Urek with a nasty gaze.

Urek was remaining calm as he stared at the bastards in front of him. He's a man, and he clearly understood the implicit message between these bandits. Heck, even a child would find out about their bad intention just by seeing their faces.

With his hands in his pockets, Urek replied, sporting his own nasty grin. "Dregs like you are still present everywhere, huh. Looks like I didn't miss the opportunity to erase you bastards from existence."

Hearing Urek's words, the Bloodhounds were surprised. Then their laughter once again reverberated on the surroundings.

"Boss, this guy is a treasure! I like to torture arrogant pricks like him the most!" An unknown underling said.

Sporting his sadistic grin, the leader replied. "Yeah. So we have to make sure to let him experience every trauma he can later on!"

"Yeah!"

Then the leader unsheathed his machete that's placed on his hip. The sharp edge of the blade reflected the light, causing a normal person to be crippled with fear just by seeing it.

The leader then placed the dull edge of it on his shoulders. "Tie these bastards!"

His underlings were more than willing to do it. Heck, they practically scrambled on who would tie up the girls, causing chaos among their group before they could even get near Urek and the others.

"Fuck off and tie those men! Leave this task to your senpais!"

Yuri and the girls were already enraged just by seeing their expressions. Though they couldn't understand anything the Bloodhounds said, only a dumbass wouldn't understand what they meant!

As they saw those men scrambling towards them, their gazes became ice-cold and a sadistic Grin also presented themselves on their faces.

Although they couldn't use any of their Shinsu techniques because of the lack of Shinsu in the air, that doesn't mean they are weak.

After all, they can still use their brute strength, which was naturally tempered through time, to slaughter these bandits!

*Bang* *Crack* The unlucky one, who went towards Yuri, was immediately blown backwards with his bones emitting a crushed sound.

Well, that's because Yuri targeted the bastard's chest, and Yuri purposely used that much strength to teach the bandit a life-long lesson.

As for the one who went for Garam, he was also unfortunate since Garam was merciless about creeps like him. The Underling's throat was sliced and blood immediately spurted out from the wound. Soon, the bandit collapsed in his own pool of blood.

The others who went for Garam and Yuri received the same treatment thereon.

As for the men who tried to tie Ying Yueru? They immediately collapsed on the ground, never to wake up as they have already been broken by a vicious mental torture through the Tsukuyomi.

Hazuki actually hates the guts of people like these. Acting like kings at places where no one could defy them and live off of someone else just doesn't sit right with him.

It would be better to rid them for the betterment of the place.

While these are happening, the Leader is also on the move. The machete on his right shoulder was immediately slashed diagonally towards Urek's left shoulder, planning to dismember Urek in half.

*Clink* But his attempt was unsuccessful as Urek simply raised his left arm to block the strike. Only a metal crashing onto another metal rung out as Urek's arm was struck by the machete.

The Bloodhound's group leader was shocked. Not only because Urek blocked his strike with his body but also because his Machete was deformed in the process!

'F*ck! I'm seriously f*cked right now! I messed with the wrong people…!' The Bloodhound group leader swore inwardly. Then he plans to escape since just from that strike, he already knew that he would be no match against Urek.

"Gah!" Then the sounds of his underlings getting smashed and toyed on rang in his ears. The women, who he thought would be powerless against him and his group, was currently slaughtering their ranks.

A chill crept up the leader's spine. 'Monsters…! They might already be as strong as the Head…! Not good! I need to escape and report this matter to the Head!'

The leader immediately abandoned his machete and ran with all his might. He didn't even look back and prioritized his life over anything else.

Seeing this, Urek's slips curved into a sadistic grin. He directly appeared behind the escaping group leader then grabbed his neck.

"And where the f*ck do you think you think you're going, ant?" Urek said directly beside the group leader's ear.

The group leader trembled and the sense of death crept up to him. His whole back, up to the back of his head, was numb and he could feel cold sweat dripping on his back.

"P-please… s-spare me…" Said the group leader with a trembling voice. His life was more important than anything else. And even though he loves to take the lives of others the most, he doesn't want that happening to him.

"Heh. Just another trash." Urek muttered as he crushed the man's neck.

*Crack* The group leader's head lay hanging as his neck was literally flattened by Urek's grip.

Looking behind him, Urek saw that everything was already done. No Bandit was left standing and the place was littered by their bodies.

Some eyes were peeking from a distance and from some buildings. Those people should've been celebrating because of the death of the Tyrants, yet they remained silent as a new unknown group entered the fray.

Of course, these stares weren't left unnoticed by Hazuki and the others. But they don't really care about it since they were only passing by this place.

Hazuki then pressed his hand on the leader's head and extracted the bandit's memories through the use of the Human Path.

The result? He couldn't understand anything at all!

Hazuki gritted his teeth. 'Ah, f*ck it! It's just some cheap exchange anyways!'

'System A.I, how much does it cost to buy this world's language?' Hazuki said to the system in his mind.

He really doesn't want to resort to this and he doesn't know why. He thought that: although it would hasten the time he needs to spend in this world, that would also mean that Yuri and Garam would rely on him most of the time.

And he didn't want that since he's also trying to have Garam rely on Urek. Even if it consumes more time than it should, it's still fine since he could spend that much time at least.

[The cost of learning the Zygxal language would be; Amateur: 2,000 SP. Proficient: 5,000 SP. Native: 10,000 SP.]

'... Buy that Native proficiency…' Hazuki could just shake his head while smiling wryly. 'I still wouldn't help Urek even though I already knew their language. That way, I can help Urek get slightly closer to Garam.'

Then he smiled. 'And, wouldn't it be more interesting that way?'

Hazuki then analyzed the memories that he read. They are currently in Spost City within the borders of Krigst Empire.

Now, Hazuki doesn't know how to convey this message to Urek. Should he outright say the name of the City? But that wouldn't make sense since Urek would find out that he knows the language.

It's like a Japanese translating the word 'Spost City' in perfect Mandarin then saying he doesn't know how to speak Mandarin.

As he was thinking about his predicament, Baek Ryun suddenly crouched beside him and placed his forefinger and Middlefinger to the group leader's forehead.

Suddenly, Baek Ryun's fingers that were pressed on the group leader's forehead glowed.

"Urek, come here!" Baek Ryun shouted with his eyes closed.

Seeing his actions, Urek immediately knew what Baek Ryun was doing. He was extracting the memories of the group leader.

Well, this skill is a must for a person like Baek Ryun, who runs an organization. After all, gathering information is the greatest weapon of a leader.

In an instant, Urek crouched beside Baek Ryun.

Seeing Baek Ryun's forehead filled with sweat, Urek was puzzled. 'Why does Baek Ryun seem like he's having a hard time? Didn't he already master this skill ages ago?'

Suddenly, Baek Ryun raised his free hand and pressed it into Urek's forehead. Memories of the group leader then flowed to Urek's mind.

A few seconds later, Baek Ryun placed his hands down while gasping for breath.

Urek also opened his eyes and looked at Baek Ryun puzzledly. Now, he already knows where they are and based on this, they can already move towards his home.

"Baek Ryun, what is happening? Didn't you already master that skill a long time ago? Why are you gasping for breath even though you have only used it for a few seconds?" Urek asked.

Baek Ryun glared at Urek like the latter's an idiot. "Urek, are you seriously dumb? This place has no Shinsu and that man also has no Shinsu. I have to painstakingly transfer some of mine to his mind just to allow me to meddle with it! And I have to be very careful about the process since his consciousness would explode once I input too much Shinsu! Do you seriously not know?!"

Urek scratched his head and replied. "Well… My bad, I guess? I forgot that this place actually has no Shinsu since I could manipulate this place's energy system just fine… Just like I'm manipulating Shinsu…"

Baek Ryun just sighed since Urek was originally like this. He forgets things quite easily and sometimes treats his 'standards' as common sense. "Forget it. This is how you are."

"Ehehe." Urek chuckled embarrassedly. And in order to escape the atmosphere, Urek stood up and announced what he found out. "Okay! Based on the memories that Baek Ryun extracted from that guy, we are currently on Spost City within the Krigst Kingdom."

"There's good news and bad news. What do you all want to know first?" Urek asked.

"Stop acting like a goddamned doctor, shit-face! Just say whatever it is!" Garam replied.

Urek looked a little downcast that he was shot down by Garam. "Okay, bad news first. The bad news is: I don't remember this city existing at all."

"What?! What did you say?!" Garam shouted.

"I don't remember this place existing at all."

"I mean, what is your use?!" Garam said, piercing onto Urek's confidence.

Urek went to Hazuki and Baek Ryun before he tackled his Bro's. With his Bro's head on both his arms, Urek said. "Bro, Garam's so mean!"

Hazuki laughed because Garam's words really cracked him up. 'Looks like my decision is right! Good job, Baek Ryun!'

While Hazuki was amused, Baek Ryun was sighing exasperatedly. "How else is she supposed to act? Did you forget that she has always been like that to you?"

"But.. but…"

"Don't worry too much about it, Urek. Just continue your explanation." Hazuki said.

"Okay." Urek replied as he removed his arms from his Bros.

Then he turned his gaze back to Garam, who's nearly beating him up with her gaze causing him to flinch.

"*Cough* Okay, as I said, that's the bad news. The good news is that: this place is a part of an Empire which I could recognize!" Urek announced.

"Good! Then are we near your home now?! Just hurry up so we can drop you off and continue with our ways!" Garam said, like the harsh woman she is, to Urek.

Urek nearly went back to his Bros, if not for Hazuki and Baek Ryun forcing him to face forwards by holding Urek's shoulders side by side.

"You're so mean, Garam." Urek said with a pout.

"Humph." Garam ust harrumphed and turned her gaze away with her arms crossed under her chest.

Yuri and Ying Yueru were conversing with Garam and the three of them looked like they already formed their own bonds.
