Poorstag gave a map to Balam, the map he gave was a map containing the entire territory of the Mirilim Kingdom. It is nothing new for Balam, but he is still happy with Poorstag's gift. He saw the direction pointed by the Poorstag which was in the northern region while they were in the south, the place pointed to by the Poorstag was one of the cities owned by the Mirilim Kingdom, namely the City of Archon.
"Hmm ... what do you mean designating this city? Is there an uproar incident in the city or is there something interesting there?" asked Balam, he was quite taken aback by the place Poorstag was pointing. At first, he thought Poorstag would show him a place not far from the Ashmoss Forest. But the place Poorstag pointed at completely shocked her and confused her.
The city of Archon itself is one of the cities in the Mirilim Kingdom and is one of the cities that has many similarities with the City of Morshore, where this city is on the border of the kingdom which directly borders one of the other kingdoms.
"You want to go on an adventure and explore places that we haven't visited before, right? Instead of going to visit a place that doesn't know what the conditions are, you better visit this city. I heard there is a battle going on, whether it's fighting monsters or fighting. kingdom !!! " Poorstag tries to direct Balam to visit Archon City.
In that city there was indeed a battle between the Mirilim Kingdom and the Weldian Kingdom, which was the fourth ranked kingdom, but their strength was equivalent to the Mirilim Kingdom so small scale battles always took place.
"Battle? You want me to go back to that time? Maybe, I also miss the atmosphere on the battlefield. However, I don't know what to do if Pino finds out. It's hard to say, I don't want to involve my son in this business, he hasn't. Deserves to be there, "replied Balam, he did miss the battlefield, whether he had to fight humans or monsters, he really missed the battlefield where all his feelings were.
"Pino? What's the link with him, Balam? You're the one who decides everything, do you think he won't be on the battlefield later? Don't act stupid, you're just in your delusions. He's so much tougher than you, I don't want to say this... but Balam!!! You've been so miserable since you lost Valerie, you've completely lost your way!!! " Murmured Poorstag, she no longer understands Balam, a figure who should be much tougher and more powerful starting to weaken because of one thing he only believes when it's not the truth.
"What do you mean Poorstag? Am I wrong to worry about my son? I know very well how she is, she would have been looking for me if I had been on the battlefield, she lost her mother at a young age, and she was always with me!!! Am I weak because of that? Don't joke with me!!! You're unmarried and haven't had children, how can you understand what I'm feeling!!!" shouts Balam, he uses his aura and everywhere to suppress poorstag and it makes the table in front of them destroyed.
"You got it wrong to capture what I meant, Balam. Don't overdo it!!! Clear your mind!!! Your emotions are, Balam!!! Pino does need you but not forever he'll be in your hands, you'll have to let him go from this moment on and allow him to feel firsthand what's on the battlefield. Don't just inedible your delusions, he's no longer the little boy you should always protect, there will come a time when he's the one who protects you!!!" Poorstag replied aloud. He did not hold back his words or his emotions, he knew what he said might hurt Balam, but he kept saying it so that Balam understood the points he meant.
"Shut up!!! Even so, I still can't just let go. He's my only son, seeing him get hurt like this... I... I... don't know what to do? What if I lose him? I'll never be able to forgive myself, i'd rather be dead and miserable than him, Poorstag. The battlefield is not for him, I am not... Argh... Forget it!!!" murmured Balam, he didn't want to say what he imagined when discussing the battlefield.
"Balam... You're not just a warrior leader, you're not just a tough figure, you're so much better than all that, I can say you're the best. No matter where you are, no one will dare you, but your courage and strength disappear because you're worried about your beloved son who is actually twice as tough as you are, you... You're not protecting him but you're underestimating his potential!!!" Poorstag stares sharply at Balam and he gives everything he has to his gaze and makes Balam falter as he sits down.
Balam fell silent and could not retaliate because he was reminded of his youth where he was not given the freedom by his parents to participate in the battlefield, but because of his unanimous determination he fought and left his parents only to live on the battlefield, and he felt all the bitterness of the battle.
While remembering that, Balam bowed his head and began shedding tears, he knew that what he was doing was not protecting his son instead of making him the doll he controlled. Slowly he realized that what he was doing was not entirely true, setting his breath, Balam stared at Poorstag.
"I don't know!!! Whether this is true or not, but all I want is happiness for my son, if he does want to be on the battlefield, I will support him and I will accompany him if I can. Banning him will only make him do one act that I will regret later, I completely forgot that, thank you, Poorstag. You really helped me this time," balam exclaims weakly, his voice loud and not very powerful, he doesn't look like a deadly fighter but looks like an ordinary middle-aged man who loves his son very much.
"I know that, you've always been like this. Since Valerie wasn't around, you've turned into a very different figure, it's not bad but you've completely lost your identity, forgotten what happened and you're constrained by your own thoughts. Now you have to explore again and let Pino at Coasthaven Academy, even though he has to fight on the battlefield... That's the path he has to go," Poorstag replied.
Pino, who did not know about the conversation between Balam and Poorstag, began to open his eyes and felt the flow all over his body, and he also felt something book-shaped inside him. That form became more apparent, as he followed which stream went into the book, Pino began to gain an understanding of the book he felt.
