"Sister Ash, do you know how to go to the demon world?"
Ash was stunned when he heard Rafa's question. Tonight, they're in the basement of his house. A place Katly doesn't know about and is a training ground.
"Why did you suddenly ask?"
Rafa slightly lowered his face, "Em.. I'm just curious. If demons could go to the human world through the dimensional gap, then would humans be able to enter the demon world through that gap as well?
All this time.. They can go to the human world too because of the gap that accidentally opens randomly. Then what about the humans who went to the demon world? Can they do that too?"
Ash paused for a moment, then replied, "If you can, what would you like to do? Dimensional gaps that accidentally open appear can not be predicted location or number."
"But.. Isn't the end of this many demons enter the human world? Doesn't that mean a lot of gaps are open? That means a lot of opportunities to get in there, right?"
"Even so, finding it will be difficult. It could be very far away. Searching for it without information, just wasting time."
Rafa raised his head with a precise look at Ash, "Then.., does Ash's sister know how to open the dimensional gap?"
Now Ash can see Rafa's hopeful gaze. I don't know what the young man wanted. He became curious, "If I knew, what would you do?"
"I... Mn.. Wanted to meet my father. He hasn't picked me up in 6 years. I want to meet him and find out how he is."
Ash gasped when he heard Rafa's words. Open a dimensional gap to meet with.. Her dad?
Rafa recalls that Ash is a demon hunter even though he is a doctor. If Ash knew his identity, perhaps Ash would antagonize him and even eliminate him. It's not that he doesn't believe Ash. It's just, it's a reasonable possibility. If the devil is already in front of him, of course it is being fought right? That's why he became a demon hunter. "Ah, no. Forget what I said."
"She's hiding something from me and won't say it. But I'm sure he wants to go to the demon world. But to meet his father? Wh why? Why was his father in the demon world? Is his father also a blizt? Did his father invade the demon world and have not returned after a few years?" inner Ash. He has a lot of questions in his head, but he can't reveal them all and forces Rafa to tell a story.
"Then, practice gets here only. You've made a lot of progress."
Rafa smiled faintly when he heard the praise from Ash. It seemed like the compliment was excessive for him. Because during today's practice, he couldn't touch and beat Ash. His strength is not enough now. But what if..
"Sister Ash.. Did you know about the history of 'absolute influence'?"
Ash who had just poured water into an empty glass immediately looked at Rafa when he heard the question, "Where do you know that name from? I never said it."
Rafa's expression now became shabby. He was confused how to answer. Naturally, if Ash suspects him, he suddenly asks what he has never said to him.
"What... Is there someone you know and is a hunter? You know 'absolute influence' from him?" guess Ash.
Even without Rafa saying it, Ash could guess right, "B-that's how. I just found out she was blizt after she revealed it to me not long ago."
"Then what do you want to know from 'absolute influence'? You're asking me that because there's something that makes you curious, right?"
Rafa nodded slowly, "There is. Does brother Ash know what kind of power 'absolute influence' has'? Blizt's mixed-blood creature and the devil."

*POV Need
After dark, he and I moved into King Stev's palace. I don't know where Radolf is. He was Leon's right-hand man, unlikely to be placed in an ordinary prison.
Leon and I hid our presence in order to find him freely. He must be in this palace. I'm sure about that. That's why we came here to free him.
If it wasn't for Leon's will, then I would never have been willing to help him. I'll let him die, even if it's for being tortured by King Stev.
And it must have been 'he' who had spread the history of ancient power to another King some time after Leon had hidden Radolf's guilt.
Radolf always pisses me off. Being close to Leon, he also put him in danger. He better be dead.
"Better we split up."
The words from Leon broke my daydream. Hearing his words, it immediately made me gasp, "You don't know the way in this kingdom. You're gonna get lost. Meanwhile, I know a place here. It's safer if we're together."
I don't want him to leave. I was able to be with him for 24 hours, but how could we part like this? I don't want to.
"If you knew the whole room in this place, wouldn't you know where he's being held?"
The question from Leon instantly jolted me. I didn't think he would say that. But what he said didn't hurt, "B-but..."
"You look that way, then I go this way. If you meet him, you wait outside and give him a signal like an explosion or something."
Apparently Leon didn't listen to my words and still chose his plan. I scratched my face in annoyance. He just went in the opposite direction.
If that's what he wants, then I have no other choice. I'll follow his will.
I went in the other direction and looked around. It is more difficult to go in silent than to attack brightly.
It's so quiet around here. Not even many guards were in their places. He understood it, because in this area there are only a few guards.
A hallway that is only straight and sometimes slightly veered with several rooms to the right of his left, is not so striking. This room is ordinary. But if there are intruders who enter this area, they will definitely be easier to catch because there are not many hiding places.
But for me, who is the commander, they should not attack me. So why should I hide like this? Wouldn't it be better to show it plainly? After all, they're not gonna catch me.
I started walking around occasionally. I haven't found any guards in the area around this place. But if it goes deeper, I will find it. Because I know this place well.
"Master Need? W-what are you doing here?"
I found two guards. Just now that I thought of their whereabouts, they had already appeared to see me first.
"I just want to check around this area. Because I feel a strange aura from here," I replied with a flat look. I never showed any feelings to any other demon, except Leon.
"Well, but shouldn't you still be in the human world? We heard, all the commanders of each King sent him there to find King Leon."
"Yes, I hear you're off to the human world. How can you be here?"
The two guards looked at me suspiciously. It seems like they think I'm a demon in disguise.
Even I, who did not answer, made them even more suspicious. Before they call another guard, I have to shut him up.

I appeared behind them and directly thrust my hands at the two at once.
"If you shut up and let me go straight away, you will be safe and still breathe in this air" I said flatly.
The bodies of the two of them immediately collapsed onto the floor after I plucked my hand from them. It's annoying. Looks like I can't meet the other guards this way.
