It was a dark night in the royal town of Claric. Everyone hid inside the house, while the royal soldiers went around looking for Izuru and comrades.
"We need to find them tonight!" Shouted one of the soldiers.
Several soldiers inspected the seemingly uninhabited house. They entered a room with a pile of things in the middle of the room. The soldiers then removed the items and found a door to Tana's basement.
"They must be hiding here. Let's go in!" Said one of the soldiers. Then they went down one by one with an oil lantern.
They searched the whole dark basement, but found no one there. "This place is empty." Said one of the soldiers then walked out of the basement.
Under the stairs to descend into the basement, there is a wooden cover that was not seen by the soldiers. "Hey, why aren't we on top?" A voice sounded from under the wood.
"Didn't you hear that?" Rin asked sitting on the ground, with the others sitting around a small lantern.
"Sound what?" Ask Izuru.
"There's someone up there, it's a good thing we're here." Answer Rin.
"Well... But it's stuffy in here." Izuru said as she fanned herself by tugging at her frame.
"We'll leave after the royal soldiers stop touring the city." Rin.
Asura was wrapping the wound on Karin's shoulder with a white cloth, then tied it when it was all covered. "Thank you." Karin. Asura then left and then sat down near Izuru.
"We're lucky that Asura came here." Rin.
"Oh yeah, you haven't told me why you came here?" Ask Izuru.
"It's just a coincidence. Earlier this morning..." Asura replied and then imagined what had happened this morning.
...*****...
"Hmm...♪ hmm...♪" Asura hummed in the middle of the journey through the streets of the city that was still quiet.
He then arrived in front of the Izuru installment house. Asura looked towards the puddle below and slightly tidied up her hair. Smiling Asura knocked on the door while calling inside. "Izuru! Are you awake?" Call Asura. But there's no answer at all.
"Is he still sleeping? Was it maybe that exhausting yesterday?" Asura asked putting her index finger on the chin.
Asura then looked towards the carpet in front of the door. Asura then lifted some of the carpet and underneath it was seen a spare key. Asura took the spare key, then put it into the keyhole. "Excuse me!" Asura said then opened the door and entered.
Inside the house seemed to be desolate. "Well, can no one get up in the morning?" Asura asked then opened the door of Izuru's room.
"Izuru's? There ain't?" Asura asked as he looked at Izuru's well-organized room with no one inside.
"Don't tell me they left again...!? Huaawww.... Why didn't Izuru ever say a word to me!? He always left without telling me!" said Asura whining over Izuru's bed.
"Cannot be accepted...! It really cannot be accepted..! They must be a bad influence on Izuru! The three of them, Rin, that guy, and Iona! I will definitely teach them a lesson!" As Asura raised his face, he saw a paper on the bed. Asura immediately took the paper and read it.
"Sorry we haven't been able to pay the installments today, please give it a few more days. We're in the Kingdom of Claric, we promise we'll pay it off." Said Asura reading the writing.
"So Izuru went to Claric Kingdom!? Look, I'll see what they're doing there. Good thing I have contacts there."
Asura then returned home, he walked by stomping his feet like he was angry.
"You why?" Fiel asked who was cleaning the window in front of the house.
"I want to go a few days." Answer Asura opening the front door.
"You go every day to see Izuru, and now you want to go again? Your work for today isn't done either, is it?"
"Please, just this time!" Said Asura pleading in front of Fiel.
"Well... Where are you going?" Fiel asked sighing.
"Yes... Claric kingdom."
"Kingdom of Claric?"
"Why? Yes can!"
"Miss Reshieka definitely won't allow that! But, if I had already left, maybe I would have been forgiven." Said Asura smiling while playing her hair.
"I'll get angry for letting you go."
"But... I want to see Izuru there."
"Why did you meet him? Don't you meet every day?"
"Yes.no, I just want to."
"What kind of reason is that? Never mind, it's up to you." Fiel said and went inside.
"Yey! Thank you!" Asura said excitedly, then went inside.
...*****...
"Then I flew here. So the story." Said Asura finished telling the story this morning.
"Your woes were too detailed." Izuru.
"It's been a long time, have they stopped looking?" Ask Iona.
"Hopefully. I can't stand it, it's stuffy in here!" Izuru said getting sweaty.
"Maybe we can get out now?" Ask Rin.
"Hurry way!" The sound of screaming was heard from above.
"What's that sound?" Ask Iona.
"I'll check it out!" Rin said, then he climbed to the surface and peered out through the gap of the old house door.
It was seen that the Royal soldiers were herding many citizens towards the palace. They were treated harshly as if they were forced.
"Great!" Rin said jumping down from the top stairs. "The Royal Soldiers are bringing the citizens to the palace!" Connect Rin.
"They must be threatening us with the citizens." Queen Says.
"Don't-don't...." Asura's face suddenly became panicked and instantly stood up, then rose to the surface.
"Asura, where are you going!?" Izuru asked following Asura.
Asura was running in a desolate alley, suddenly someone pulled his hand from behind. "Asura, what are you doing!? It's still not safe!" Said Izuru behind Asura.
"I have to find someone!" Said Asura.
"But what if the soldiers see us?" Ask Izuru.
"They won't recognize me, because I was a dragon before." Answer Asura.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Justu you must be careful Izuru. Some soldier must have known your face." Said Asura.
"Yes, let's get your business done. I'll go with you!"
...*****...
Asura knocked on the door of a house with Izuru who was watching the surroundings. The door opened and behind the door was a woman. "Asura!? Quick in!" Said the woman quietly, then told Asura to come in.
"Come Izuru!" Asura Whispers. Then they both went into the woman's house. Asura and the woman hugged in front of Izuru.
"Thank God you're okay! I thought those soldiers also brought you to the palace." Said Asura.
"Usually if two women are chatting, I will definitely not understand their conversation." Izuru said in his heart.
Seriate...
