The next day after demon subjugation ended, there’s a mountain of works waiting lord Cederic and the others to be finished, like how much expenses during subjugation, how much rewards for high ranking adventurer who take part in the subjugation etcetera.

“Ugh… when all this works done? There are just never-ending documents flowing in waiting to be checked”

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

 “It’s Felipe my lord, sir Feliks and the others wished an audience”

“Let them in”

*CREEK*

“Excuse us lord Cederic”

“Feliks, didn’t I said to drop the formalities when we are alone?”

“You know very well what old Felix will said if he heard you said that, right?”

“*sigh* do as you wish, then, what you all want to say? As you can see, these documents is trying to drowned me”

“Well, it was Hector who will tell us about something”

“Yes, I have a hunch that it’ll be bad if I keep postpone the matter”

“Oh, is it that thing that you will tell to us after we get back to Corland? Then say it”

“As you all know that we fought a possessed bear the other day right?”

“Yes, and I can still remembered that I got injury on my chest that I passed out from the shock but…”

“Ah… right, we all remembered that but I can’t remembered what happened after that”

“I remembered that too, I’m trying to heal Franco injury but my memory hazy after that”

When others talk to each other about they can’t remembered memory from that day, lord Cederic staring sharply onto sir Hector.

“So, you must knew about something, right? Hector?”

“Yes, but before that, did it ring a bell when I said ‘sleep well and forget me, okay?’”

“I kinda remember it, but it still hazy”

“I remembered something! I remember there’s two explosion sounds not too far and somethings happened to the bear”

“Yes, all that happened because of a mysterious girl”

“Mysterious girl? What are you going to tell us Hector?”

Lord Cederic and the others confused by what sir Hector said but sir Hector explained everything to them, from help of defeating the possessed bear until they get to the forest entrance guard post.

“So that was what happened, did you try to free our memory from that day? Isn’t your skill at memories and stuff is excellent?”

“I try it at first but the memory from that day is sealed by such a complex magic and foreign language and symbols that I never know from where it is”

“Is that so? How about if we seek help from royal mages?”

“It’s all right but I can’t hope more since this magic seal language is not even ancient language like we usually use”

“If we can’t hope much even on royal mages then to what? That mysterious girl?”

“That’s right Feliks, we gonna search and find her”

“WHAT?! Are you already insane Hector?! How we can find her when we knows nothing about her?!”

“It’s easy Feliks, if you know rumors about explosion sounds from afar at Ursprung forest these 2 years, combined by the fact that we heard the same sounds twice from relatively short distances and she appeared after those sounds can means…”

“We can found her at the forest if we heard that sound, you read my mind my lord”

“Ugh…! You make it sounds like it was an easy task but for me it was hard and tricky task! I often heard from adventurers that they heard that sound but on random time like once in a few days, weeks, even once a month!”

“Then we must begin searching for her as fast as we can and… to avoid suspicion and maybe scare her, make it as minimal as possible”

“Wha-*sigh* aye aye, sir”

“And… because I’m still busy with these works for another days, I’ll give you full authority for the search Feliks, now dismiss!”

““Yes sir!””

With that, their plan to find Leony is settled but on the other hand, Agustina the Fenrir is troubled by her daughter that suddenly shutting herself inside her room and keep refusing meals since two days ago.

“Leony, open the door honey, you didn’t eat anything since yesterday”

“…”

“Hm... it’s strange, she never do this before, did something happened to her two days ago?”

“Nothing happened mother, she just said that she wanted to go home early and suddenly shutting herself inside”

“Hm...Let’s leave her be, maybe she’ll comes out sooner or later”

“Okay mother”

Agustina decided to leave her daughter as it is while hoping that she’ll comes out, that is what she’s wished but 5 days passed and no sign about Leony will come out any time soon, and there’s a rumors about lord Cederic from Corland searching someone with the same traits as her daughter Leony.

“It’s already 5 days but she’s not yet comes out from her room”

“Mm…yeah… I wonder why?”

“Auguste…? You know what happened to your sister right?”

“Mm…! Sorry mother for lying to you, there is something happened the day when you’re away”

Then Auguste telling his mother what happened to Leony the other day, he tell about people who called Leony a disguised demon and every events after that.

“So you and Leony meets lord Cederic and his group when trying to help them but she got misunderstood as a disguised demon”

“Yes, she’s got very upset after helped them and decided to hole up in her room after that”

“Don’t worry, I’ll go to tell him to come here and clear the problem”

That afternoon Agustina go out to the forest entrance and stopped two knights who searching her daughter, not long after that the two knights sped up their horse back to Corland with their face is white pale, when they arrived at Corland with cold sweat still running they makes their report to their commander, sir Feliks.

*TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

“Lord Cederic! I got a news!”

“Calm down Feliks and don’t banging the door, what’s news do you bring here that you’re this rowdy?”

“I got two news, the good news is, we found her!”

“What?! Really?”

“Yes, and the bad news is, she’s the daughter of Fenrir-sama”

“…what? Feliks please, don’t put off my enthusiasm this fast, did you said Fenrir-sama’s daughter?”

“Yes sir”

“*sigh*…*inhale*…prepare the carriage! This is really really bad problem!”

“Wait! Wait a minute sir! Fenrir-sama said for us to come see her at the forest entrance tomorrow morning”

“Oh, is that so? Then… prepare the carriage for tomorrow morning departure! And you Feliks, tell the others to prepare for tomorrow! Dismiss!”

“Yes sir!”

That evening, there’s some commotion in lord Cederic’s mansion because of Agustina request to meet up, lord Cederic and his friends succeeded in finding mysterious girl who helped them but it ended up in more problematic way.
