"No, I'm serious, look! This is the most popular romance drama right now in Null Dimension." said Sky, while showing them the content on his tablet.
"Actually, you don't really need to explain it, even if it's not romance drama, it would not be a wrong thing." said Ben, in a casual tone.
"Ben, I found it's disturbing that you can say such a thing with a casual straight face, while I clearly know what is in your head right now." said Sky.
Ben smirked without saying anything.
"Anyway, Maria, aren't you supposed to be going back to Quill Town now? Don't forget you still have the mission of protecting and taking care of that angel." said Ben, he is referring to Dominic.
"Ah! I totally forgot about Uncle Dominic! But how about Marco-chan?" said Maria, in a dilemma.
"Don't worry about the lady boss, she would survive. But from the attack to that town, I have a feeling that someone is targeting that angel, so you should get back to Quill Town as soon as possible." said Ben.
"Ah! Okay! I shall take my leave now! Make sure you take good care of Marco - chan!... Oh! And don't overwork yourself, let Hoshe-chan assist you." said Maria while rushed out through the main entrance.
"Well... It's not like he would be helpful though." Ben murmured as he watching Maria summon Suzaku and fly away from his sight.
After a short while, Hoshe is back from gathering herbs and some 'special medicine's ingredients' for Ben. Ben passed him a to-do list along with Marco's health report.
"Maria said I should seek for your assistance so here you have it." said Ben before headed to the cafeteria for some coffee and snack.
Hoshe is still a bit confused, he looks at his brother's back, rather speechless, he doesn't know how his humble and timid little brother turned into this mean, heartless and dark tyrant. He wonders just what he had gone through all these years to change him into such a person.

Quill Town. In the cathedral. Dominic is fighting against a big batch of deformed Kirin Demon-like creatures while protecting Nathan, some mutilated dead bodies of the cathedral guard can be seen on the floor. After a short while, Dominic starts showing signs of fatigue due to his sickness.
"Your Grace..." Nathan is very worried about Dominic.
"Don't worry about me, just stay inside the barrier, it would stay firm even when I'm down..." said Dominic while beheaded one of the Kirin Demon in front of him.
However, Dominic is already at his limit, after he eliminates three more of those deformed Kirin Demon, he falls on his knees as he suddenly lost all of his strength due to his sickness.
"Your Grace!" Nathan shouted as he ran out of the barrier and guarded Dominic with his tiny body.
Suddenly, all the deformed Kirin Demons stopped moving, and start burning in fire on their own. However, only the Kirin Demons are burned in fire, the surrounding and the building are totally not affected by the fire, Dominic and Nathan can't even feel the heat despite the burning Kirin Demons are very near to them. In less than five seconds, all the Kirin Demons had burned into ashes.
"Uncle Dominic! Little Nathan! Are you guys alright." said Maria as he ran into the cathedral, burn injuries can be seen clearly on both of his hands.
"Brother Maria! You are back! Ah... Your hands are injured." said Nathan, rather surprised.
"Don't worry about me, get Uncle Dominic into the room, I will prepare the incense." said Maria, in a worried tone, Nathan nodded and did as instructed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A while, Maria and Nathan had settled down everything, the incense had been burned and Dominic is slowly recovering. Nathan is now applying some ointment on Maria's injured hands before neatly bandaged them.
"This ointment is made by His Grace. I remember when I was really young, someone pours a pot of piping hot soup on me, His Grace saved me and apply this ointment all over me, and I recovered from the burn." said Nathan.
"Oh my! How would someone actually did that to our Little Nathan?" said Maria.
"Well, I guess it's because I was sold by my family to pay the debt, and that's how you use to treat the thing that you bought?" said Nathan, in a rather innocent manner.
"Ah... That's really sad. I'm glad that Uncle Dominic actually found you... Wow! This bandaging is really neat. I can hardly imagine a little child like you would be able to do this." said Maria.
"Well, I did it for His Grace all the time, so I'm very good at doing this." said Nathan, rather proud of himself.
"Heh? Do you mean that Uncle Dominic gets injured very frequently?" Maria asked, a bit shocked and concerned.
"Mhmm... Whenever there are other angels from Heavenly Realm came to visit, he will get injured." said Nathan, who doesn't notice anything wrong with that statement.
"What? Do you know the reason behind that?" Maria asked, even more shocked than before.
Nathan shook his head.
However, for anyone who has rational thinking, this whole thing sounds extremely weird, Maria can't help but wonder if Dominic's injuries have anything to do with the Heavenly Realm, if it is as what he thought, then why would they do so?
"If you are that curious, it's not wrong for me to tell you about that." said Dominic, who had been awake and listening to their conversation since the beginning.
