"So..." Qantas' recollection was cut off by Nix's brain dead question. "You call me here...exactly for what?"
Qantas sighed deeply. Wrath ranks fourth within his 'Sins Chart', and with pride sitting on top of his chart. However, right now Qantas felt that his wrath was slowly building up, and if this goes on, it might climb the third rank in his chart if he continues to talk to this fool.
Nix's 'Sins Chart' has sloth at the second. Maybe that's why like his stupid Zyair, who doesn't like to use his brain, this mentally retarded person completely forget that he also have a brain after not using it for so long.
He sighed again and finally decided to end this conversation. This fool might already be hungry and was itching to eat him any moment.
"Later, when you receive a mission alert from the system as a guide, protect–no, I think helping him is a more appropriate word. The person with golden hair and eyes is the person who used the game, so he didn't enter the Grimm Wold in the normal method. You will spot him immediately, after all that person have fiery temper."
The hideous pink bear scratched the back of its head after hearing Qantas words. It nodded it's head, then after a while, it looked at Qantas with its deep dark eyes. Red light gleamed from the depths of those eyes, then it's mouth grinned widely and evilly again.
"Hehehe."
Qantas raised one of his eyebrows and stared at the pink bear on the floor. "Oho", he expressed his realization. "You've used your brain for the first time. It's surprising."
"Are you giving it to me? Are you giving it to me?"
Qantas clicked his tongue quite annoyed at Nix's reaction. Then suddenly the amethyst brooch on his chest glowed. A single key appeared in his palm out of thin air. The key was a simple metal key with a little rust on them. At glance, no one will suspect this key has something special on it.
Qantas threw the key towards the pink bear, and the pink bear excitedly rushed to catch it with its mouth.
Clank.
Crisp sound rang as the key went inside the pink bear stomach.
After swallowing the old key, the pink bear caressed and patted it's stomach and excitedly smiled at Qantas.
"Hahaha. I could finally go to a normal instance after having this key!" A while later the pink bear finally quieted down after its initial excitement.
"Really?" With doubts in it's dark eyes, Nix questions Qantas. "Are you still worried about what happened that day? Is that why you wanted me to protect– no, no, it's help right? Qantas, you should remember that your little wife didn't accidentally open the Door of Life, but he went inside it himself. And if you're worried about those peop–"
"Don't forget that the reason why that greedy cat was missing was because of those people as well! I know it's not an accident, but if those people didn't plant that idea to Zyair, he wouldn't have opened that door!"
Nix was startled at Qantas' sudden burst of anger. The pink bear scratched its head, then hesitantly said: "Don't be angry. I noticed that since Zyair went to reincarnate by himself, you have been very irritable."
Qantas sneered and rebutted: "Well, I noticed that since earlier, you've gotten smarter and speak more cleverly. What? Finally, willing to use your brain?"
"You know that I rarely become sober like this without eating anything. Maybe, I'm just too excited. This is the first time I'm going in an instance after becoming Gluttony. Speaking of Gluttony. The previous Gluttony, Gula, was the most delicious thing I've tasted, second to Yayoi. But Yayoi is still the best of the best! Gula has eaten so many things that his taste was mixed with many kinds of flavor that I didn't even need to use any condiments when eating him. I've tasted Avaritia too. But it was just a little bit. When Yayoi defeated her, Yayoi didn't immediately kill her. Yayoi imprisoned her in the basement for infinite resources. Thanks to her, I didn't feel hungry after a long time. You know, there's also..."
"Enough." Qantas took up his glasses, and strongly massaged the middle of his brows. "You only got sober for a few minutes. Now, you're back to being a fool again."
Sighing, Qantas dismissed all the words he was going to say to the other party. He waved his hand and said: "Nevermind. Just go. This world won't be able to tolerate you if you go crazy and eat everything."
Bewildered, the pink bear looked blankly at Qantas before reacting: "Oh."
Qantas ignored him and reminded: "But remember, don't let Zyair away from your eyes. I snipped out some rumors about that group. They were on the move again. But I'm not sure if it was still that man's hand writing. So...you should be careful too...this favor, I will repay you someday."
"Oh. Okay." Then the bear fell like a broken marionette on the floor.
Qantas sighed in relief after seeing that Nix already left. He removed his glasses and pitched the bridge of his nose.
What he didn't tell Nix was that, not only did he find some news about that group, he already knew what happened to that greedy cat.
That greedy cat, Yayoi Farrah, the former Seven deadly sin– the sin of Greed– was currently imprisoned somewhere inside of an instance as an NPC.
The Grimm World was infinitely vast, with over millions of instances in it. Finding that greedy cat was like finding the Sun over millions of stars in the universe.
Ah...he hasn't even started yet but he already feels tired.
'Just want to hug my little sun.'

Plop!
The broken bear vomited it's master. With a "ha-a~", the young man hugged the broken bear with a sigh of relief.
He looked at the surroundings slowly with a confused face, then lowered his head to look at his bear. He scratched his cheeks, then asked, "Break, where are we?"
Hearing it's master's question, the broken bear scratched its head with a deep sigh. It's master had turned stupid again, ah. It get out of its master embrace, then climbed up to his shoulders. It patted and stroked the young man's silver hair, and then opened it's mouth wide.
It's thorny mouth looked terrifying no matter how you look at it, but the young man just looked at his bear with a huge question mark floating on top of his head.
Then the bear pulled out something from its mouth.
Click.
A simple rusted key fell on the young man's palm. The young man looked at it dazedly, his scarlet eyes were blank, but after a moment, it suddenly cleared up. His scarlet eyes lit up as he stared at the key. He clenched his fit, holding the key tightly, afraid of it being lost. Then he looked at the broken bear on his shoulder. "Break, let's go."
The broken smiled widely, looking a bit creepy.
Then Young man hummed a song, and at the same time his stomach grumbled loudly as well.
"Mmnn~♪ Break, I'm hungry~ It's been a while since my mind has been this clear. Ha-a~ But this won't take long...I should it more in the future." He patted the bear's head and asked pleadingly. "Don't do what Yayoi orders, okay? With this body of mine, no matter how much I control my appetite, I won't be able to train my eating habits. Anyway, we don't need that kind of etiquette here in Grimm World. So forget about it okay?"
The bear hmph! and didn't respond to him. The young man knew that he was ignored and could only compromise.
"Nevermind. How about you give me those souls now, so I could eat?" The young man sighed again. "Gluttony is such a tough job. How about I migrate to the Sloth faction and defeat that sleeping demon."
As he said this, the bear couldn't take it anymore and stuffed his mouth directly with a slice of cake.
The young man immediately closed his mouth and concentrated on chewing his food. Then as he chewed, he looked at the distance. His Ruby eyes were clear with hint of emotions.
He just needs to wait for a while longer. He has waited for so many years, waiting for a short time is nothing.
Not long after, the young man's beautiful eyes dimmed. It's clarity was extinguished, then his eyelids drooped a little. This obvious change was clearly seen by the broken bear. It saw its master went quiet, as he mechanically ate again.
