As the five youths went in, they the bowed to the clan heads.
"Arthur Lightbringer, Amari Haruhiro, Iruka Sven, Qin Fei and Anna Nishima. Why do you want to be a part in this?" Alan asked them all.
"To reply! This one has the grudge against Kazein the blind devil. I made a vow that I will kill him myself." Iruka replied.
"I as well! Kazein the blind devil has cut off my limbs, to that I accept it was his revenge for me damaging his soul. But the matter of my master, late elder Joseph, is yet to be resolved!" Arthur followed shortly after.
"I see, how about Qin Fei, Amari and Anna?" Hañan asked them.
Qin Fri stepped forward "I believe everyone knows this, but Kazein exorcised the demon that has possessed me in the moment of despair. I believe he didn't contract the demon and was also only possessed after Arthur has damaged his soul. Therefore, I want to find out if he is innocent or not!"
"So you're saying, the root of this." Absolute paused, then looked at Arthur, and continued "Is Arthur Lightbringer. Is it?"
"Yes!" She blurted out.
"Wha! But I!" Arthur tried to defend himself.
"Silence! In this case, you are both the culprit and the victim! You reaped what you sow!" Yan Zhi silenced Arthur. Arthur just kept quiet and didn't speak any further. "You! Amari, why are you here?"
"Orders from father. He says it is to be my punishment for disgracing the family, and also, as training." He said while standing up.
"Anna Nishima, why do you want to go? I believe you are still injured from his attacks that day?" Aquarius asked her own disciple.
"I have always talked to you about him, and he is never the one to contract a demon. He knows what is right from wrong, he is smart and is also kind. I know because I've been with him. And if he does something, he'd balance the consequences and the benefits. Therefore I agree to Qin Fei's reasoning. Kazein the blind swordsman has only been possessed, and did not contract a demon in any way!" Anna said fiercely to everyone listening.
After thinking for a while, they reached a decision. "All right, the five of you may go. Anna Nishima, you know Kazein, perhaps you can talk to him. And it'll leave a bad taste in our mouths if we really did kill him and not just exercise the demon." Alan gave his decision. "However, let us hear something from someone whose clan specializes in hunting demons. Sheena of the second homage of the Arrowhead clan."
Then, Sheena who was behind a wall came out. [Kazein, that letter you gave me. I'm happy it made it in time.]
Yesterday, Hanna arrived to where Sheena was.
There, Hanna wondered where to go, she sat at the village gate wondering "Big brother didn't tell me where to find her. He's just too vague, ah! I know, big brother said that if I'm lost, I should always ask older men." She then went in the village, and saw the two old men plowing the fields. "Hi~! Is it okay if I ask for something?" She waved at the old men, the two, who were kind by nature, stopped plowing the fields and approached.
"Sure little angle, what is it you wish to know?" One asked.
Hanna smiled and said "A big brother sent me here and said I should live with his wife. But I don't know where big brother's wife is. Can you help me?"
The two looked at each other, then one asked. "Well we're going to need much more than that. What does this sister your talking about look like? Do you know her name?"
"En! Big brother said her name is Sheena! He says he owes her a lot. He said nothing about what she looks like though."
"Ah, Sheena. She's a bright girl, I never thought she had a husband. Well, her home is just nearby. If you'd like, we'd take you there." One old man offered their help.
"Mm-mm. It's fine old grandpa! I don't want to bother you."
"Oh? Then, just-"
Then, a figure appeared behind her.
"Ah, Sheena. This little girl here was looking for you. Said your husband sent her."
And, as Hanna looked back, she saw a beautiful girl with long white hair and a slender body. "Are you big brother Kazein's wife? Big brother said I should find you and live with you." She sweetly asked.
There, Sheena was flushed, [What?! What?! It's been two years since he left! And yet he's taken me for a wife? He hasn't forgotten? He even sent me a child. Is it his? It's possible, but she calls him big brother. How?] She couldn't reply back in time.
"Hi~. Are you big sister Sheena?"
"Umm, Sheena. You should talk to this child here. I believe it's a shock your husband sent you a child he got while he was away, but, the child did nothing wrong." The old man was worried, but Sheena laughed. This just aroused his worries. But soon, it was quelled when Sheena said.
"He, Kazein recognizes me as a wife. It's all I'd ever hope for." She smiled and hugged Hanna. "Yes, I am Sheena, big brother Kazein's wife."
"Yahay! Then big brother wanted me to give you this!" As she reached for her pocket.
"Oh? What is it?" She asked.
Then, Hanna bringed out a letter. As she gave it to Sheena, she then hugged her.
"This letter, is it from husband?"
"Yes. He said he wanted big sister to read it. Ah, also, this money is what is left of what he left me for my travel here. I don't know what to do with it, so please keep it." She handed the bag full of gold coins.
"Oh? Then, are you here to live with big sister?"
"Yes! So please, just take it as my rent. Big brother said I should live with you!"
[Husband, to send a child this young for me to take care off. Is this to say, you want me to be ready for our child? If so, I shall raise her well as I would our child.]
As she thanked the two old men for keeping her company. "Little child, what is your name?"
"Hanna! Just Hanna!" She replied. This manner of talking, it reminded her off Kazein.
"Then, Hanna, would you like to go to big sister's house and rest?" She asked while wearing a smile.
"En!"
As they went off to Sheena's house, Hanna was amazed, and suddenly went off on her own to explore. "Now, be at home, Hanna, I will make us some dinner."
As Sheena was about to go to her kitchen, Hanna tugged on her sleeve, "Ah! Big brother said I shouldn't eat what you cook! He says it's bad!"
This made Sheena lose her spirit and went pale white.
"I should cook! Please just sit down and relax." Before Sheena could stop Hanna, she was already at her kitchen.
[Sigh, even a child knows how to cook. I should read husband's letter.] As she took out the letter, she opened it, then read. And after a short while, she cried.
