"Miss, there ... wait, what are you doing?"
His view became clear again. He also saw Fa'I who was nailed at the door staring at him. He looked at his body and realized. He is not wearing a single sheet. He immediately picked up the fallen towel and threw it at Fa'I.
"What are you doing idiot?"
"ah sorry!" he said then closed her door with a bang.
He came out and saw Fa'I there. He stared, but fa'i just grinning.
"What ?"
"ah, there are people in front, look for ya"
"who ?"
"I don't know, said Jes'ka he was from the city security council."
"City Security Council? What are they doing?"
Fa'I only shrugged his shoulders. I don't know.
They went to the front door of the residence. And found two people standing there. One of them was wearing a mage uniform, and one of them was standing nonchalantly behind him.
"We're from the city security council. Is this really Mer's house?" he said while showing his identity card
Nar'u saw it and nodded.
"Yes I own. Nar'u Mer. What happened early in the morning to the residence Mer?"
"We found a body which is thought to be the body of Rose Mer," he said
Nar'u suddenly looked at Fa'I next to him. Fa'i drew roughly collar and shout.
"What do you mean? What's this joke?"
"Okay, kid, I know this is tough, but we've confirmed it. She was Rose Mer"
"Where is she now?" asked Fa'I
"At the downtown hospital. We are waiting for the decision of the family concerned, whether you will bury or cremate you." Fa'I sat on the floor in disbelief.
"We will bury it ourselves, I will take it. And I want this case closed. Regardless of any party. Without exception" said Nar'u firmly. Fa'i was staring at him in disbelief
"but..."
"no buts. Whatever it is!" cut Nar'u firmly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SIS? WHY DO YOU SHUT THE CASE? WHAT IF SHE IS KILLED?
"Calm was fa'i. Not only are you depressed here. Both my father is also your mother, they were both killed. And I'm looking for him"
"uh, sorry but you can't -"
"Can't what? I also have a witch license, don't bother me," he said sharply
"But it will violate the protocol"
"Who cares about that lousy protocol. Don't get in my way or you will know the consequences yourself. Give me the address of the hospital. I'll be there in a minute."
The man gave him the address and even then the hospital where her mother's body lay. And they went afterwards.
Two days later.
During the burial of his mother's body, Fa'I was silent. No tears are falling. A blank stare on her face painted. Jes'ka who was by his side tried to cheer him up. However, not even Fa'I looked at him. And after that incident, Fa'I began to shut himself up. Not eating, not drinking.
On the other hand, Nar'u is confused by the shards of the mystery she has collected. Natural poison from flowers that did not thrive on this continent. The black shadow that attacked her. Rose Mer's obscure death. She knew very well who Rose Mer was. She was her idol. He was so strong in the fight, so stately, so ... extraordinary. But who would have people over Rose Mer died by drowning. She felt like he was missing one important piece in this case. Then, he remembered something ...
"Wait a minute. Could it be-
He immediately rushed away. there is one important point that he had forgotten. And point it leads only to one person.

"Ah, it was the middle of the night" said fa'i so watch the clock. He hasn't eaten all day, making his stomach rumble. He tried to walk, but his weak strength made it difficult for him to walk. He cursed himself for refusing all the food that was sent. He forced himself to walk, with the wall as a handle. Accidentally, he kicked his sword. Cause noise.
Then Jes'ka and another servant came into his room. Surprised because suddenly heard a noise. "Are you okay sir?" she asked as she approached trying to help fa'i to stand. Fa'i small smile so aware that there are still people who care for him. "I'm hungry" he said with a limp and a little laugh.
"We've been waiting for you sir" they said with a smile.
Shortly after, they served food that was far from fancy. They serve simple fried rice. Fa'I saw it and asked "why did you guys make this?". and one of the servants answered "sir, just try it first.". As a result, Fa'I started scooping up the fried rice and eating it. As soon as he felt the fried rice, the tears began to flow.
"What is this? How did you make it? It's ..."
"This is the recipe that the madam taught us. She said you really like her homemade fried rice. Is it delicious?"
"delicious ... this is so delicious. This is so delicious" he said with his mouth full and cheeks flooded with tears.
"Fa'I, let me say something" said Jes'ka.
"just say it"
"Alone" she said firmly.
"Can you get out?" he said to the waiter with a smile.
The waiter nodded slowly then came out. The relief in her out knowing master had begun to improve. She shut the door from the outside and stood beside him, waiting for another command from him.
"I know who killed your mother, who killed Uncle Shi'ka" said Jes'ka

"What are you doing here ?"
"ah the butler? I am waiting for Fa'I here"
"Where's Jes'ka?"
"She's inside, he's like she's about to say something. I don't know what"
Mr. Christ started to frown. He then knocked on the door, asking permission to enter. However, he received no answer. He also knocked on the door a second time with different permission. Then, he opened the door and found Jes'ka was kissed Fa'I.
"What are you doing ?" his words surprised Jes'ka.
"That should be my question. What are you doing?"
"Ah sorry for my impudence sir, I thought something happened to you. That's why I opened the door without permission. I apologize, sir."
"Okay, what do you need?"
"I need to be with Jes'ka"
For a moment, Fa'I looked at Jes'ka before letting her go.
"Well, please"
Jes'ka began to obey and left his place. For a moment he looked at Fa'I then left his room.
