With the glare of the sword coming towards him, thanks to his reflexes Noah managed to dodge the attack by very little. And while he was doing that he said "N N No, wait!"
As he dodged the sword attack, Noah felt he had hit something in his side, but before he could turn to see what it had been, he suddenly felt his body lighten. And with his light body, Noah, who hadn't even tried to change position again, saw that for some reason in front of his eyes was the moon.
A perfect glowing blue sphere high in the sky, and moments after he had this incredible vision, Noah barely felt the beat, but when he saw the light brown eyes of the woman just below the moon, who was now pointing another sword at him. , Noah immediately understood what had happened.
And after turning the blade of the sword a little, the woman said "Wait? Whereby?" she walked calmly to Noah's side, and standing with the blade of the sword at her neck she continued "Do you happen to know where the missus is?"
"And how would I know? …You didn't even tell me what she looks like!"
The four looked at each other and, after their eyes had briefly met, and they had nodded to each other and the woman said, "You are a young lady who is probably close to her age. She has long black hair and green eyes… Now she's probably being accompanied by a middle-aged man with long black hair and a similar-aged woman."
Hearing the woman's words, a brief thought crossed Noah's mind, 'But that description is almost… No, the old man sure doesn't fit. But that man who was there now…'
And seeing the change in his expression upon hearing what she said, the woman asked "Do you know who we're talking about?"
'…It's not possible, it can't be them… but even if it is, what does that have to do with me? …Maybe I can even use them like…'
"And then?…"
Noah looked into the woman's cold eyes, eyes that showed she sure as hell wouldn't hesitate to kill him. And after seeing them he said "I think I know where she is."
She looked at him for a moment and, after putting the sword in its sheath, which was tied around her waist, the woman said, "Then come, show us the way."
As a matter of fact, Noah was a little reluctant as he got up. 'What will they do to me if they're not who they're looking for? …In fact it's almost certain that they plan to kill me as soon as they find whoever they're looking for… so I need to find a way to escape, before we get there…'

…
As she looked at the moon from the wooden window, which is in front of her bed, the girl was thinking, 'What did uncle mean by beneficial? … He doesn't know who I am, or rather, he doesn't even know my name. So what could be considered a big enough benefit for him to agree to marry me?"
She slowly leaned her head against the side of the window and continued, 'I'm obviously pretty, but that clearly doesn't matter to him that much, as he barely looked at me before he left the room. But if he didn't look like me, what was? …And why did he ask me to try to absorb IQ? It was as if he doubted that I would be able to do something as simple as that. Or does he…'
As she looked at the moon and also at the raindrops falling from the sky, the girl found herself totally immersed in her thoughts. But at that moment, her uncle abruptly entered the room, startling her and preventing her from remaining focused on her thoughts, while exclaiming "Come on! We need to go now!"
