Ren shifted little by little closer to Kim. "Why is it so easy? So, it is counterfeit money?" Ren whispered curiously.
"I already told you," replied Kim, who whispered.
"You're really smart, Kim," Ren praised, giving a thumbs up. Kim just smiled faintly while looking at Tobi who was kneeling in his place.
"What should I do so that you don't report my actions? I don't want to spend my youth in prison," Tobi pleaded with an unchanged position.

Alen came out of the Baron's office. he looked at his trembling hands. The Baron had told him the real reason. On the way home, he thought hard about it.
"I want to protect you from the danger of using your magic power against that girl's wings. Ren is a white winger who shouldn't be channeling magic power from a black wing," explained the Baron. Allen was silent when he heard it. "If you can't control it, you will disappear from this world."
"I don't care if I have to disappear. After all, I will decide whether to channel the power or not," replied Alen as if he didn't care. His heart was already beating fast before he heard the Baron's next words.
"If you stop that power suddenly, the girl's wings will alternate black and white. Worse, there is no time left for him to survive," said Baron.
Alen opened the door of his house and saw three people waiting for him. "Tobi??" he cried, rolling up his sleeves. Quickly, Ren grabbed his hand before Kim could do it.
"Alen, he came here because he wanted to make peace. Save your energy for later," said Ren.
"Alen, I will help you to carry out tree planting activities that were stopped because of me," said Tobi. Different from his previous arrogant attitude, now he has to submit to Alen according to Ren and Kim's request. "Sorry for my previous treatment," he continued.
Alen looked at Ren and Kim alternately. The two of them immediately looked away as if they didn't care. he sighed and nodded. "Okay. What can you do to help us?"
"Tobi will tell all residents that the plan we are doing is a good idea. In addition, he will also carry out special duties," said Kim. Again, it was a decision she made herself without telling Ren and Tobi beforehand.
"Wait! How can we carry out these activities if Mr. Baron forbids us?" Ren asked confusedly.
Alen took out a piece of paper from the small bag on his back. "Mr. Baron has given permission," said Alen, placing the paper on the table.
Ren and Kim immediately moved closer to see the contents of the paper. They were both astonished by the signature of Mr. Baron who agreed to the request for permission to carry out tree planting activities in Aves City. "Hah? How could that be?"
"Of course because Mr. Baron still owes me," replied Alen arrogantly. After that, he threw his body on the sofa.
"Okay, Toby. Tomorrow we will contact you again. You can go home now," said Kim gently. Tobi immediately said goodbye and rushed out of Alen's house. After that, Alen parted the curtain and confirmed the whereabouts of Tobi.
"What did you guys do to make him want to join us?" asked Alen after making sure Tobi disappeared from their sight.
"It's a long story," Kim replied with a mischievous smile. Ren also smiled because of the expression on Alen's face that looked very surprised and confused.

Tree planting activities continued. They dispose of dead trees because they were not taken care of beforehand. After the tree planting area was ready, they called the residents who wanted to join this activity to start planting. They were also helped by Tobi who succeeded in inviting and convincing several residents who had opposed this activity.
There were only a few obstacles in carrying out this activity because Ren had taught the residents quite clearly first. So, she just had to answer some of the questions asked. It also helps to supervise so that the planting process can be carried out in the right stages.
Kim was happy to see the sight. Citizens who come together to work together for a good cause. It was rarely seen in Aves City since he was born. What kind of big tree will she see later? she never imagined that before.
"Kim, you said Tobi would do a special task. apprehend the same thing with other residents," said Alen, who was curious about what Kim said yesterday.
"You'll find out soon enough tomorrow," Kim replied with a chuckle. After that, Alen just snorted in annoyance and walked away from him. However, when Kim saw Alen's back, she felt something was wrong with Alen's wings. One by one, Alen's wing feathers fell out, making a trail wherever Alen walked.
Kim immediately walked quickly towards Alen. "Alen, let's go for a bit!" Her said immediately grabbed Alen's hand and took him flying and landed on the roof. Ren realized that and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Kim immediately turned Alen's body so that his back was to him. she touched Alen's wings, then channeled magic power into Alen's wings. "Why didn't you remind me of this."
Alen was a little nervous when Kim asked like that. However, he got over it quickly. "I forgot too," said Alen casually.
Kim didn't see the light that usually came out when she applied magic power to Alen's wings. She repeated this time and again, still no light appeared. "What happens? Why isn't it working?"
"What is about?" asked Alen when Kim sounded nervous. Then, he turned to face Kim.
"My power cannot be absorbed by your wings. It's unusual for me to fail to channel my magic power," Kim wondered as she snapped her fingers to test the magic power in the air. However, his magic power seemed normal and unproblematic.
"That's why you have to practice often," commented Alen.
Kim put her palm on Alen's shoulder. Usually, his spirit power doesn't work for people who are sick. "Are you sick?"
"No," said Allen, shaking his head.
"Do not lie. You're the worst at that," Kim said after seeing Alen's shaking fingers. Then, she tried to think for a moment until she had an unexpected thought. "Don't tell me this is the result of you channeling power into Ren's wings," he continued as he looked at Alen's face.
