"You also participated in the tree planting process?" Ozi asked, chewing on a snack.
Kim swallowed the food that was already in her mouth. "I've been out of action for a few days for some reason," he replied, then went back to chewing.
Ozi nodded his head in understanding. While continuing to eat snacks, he asked a question that was important to her. "Did Alen treat Ren well?"
"That's how it is. he continues to help Ren with his magic power," Kim replied as she put the empty plastic wrap down. After that, she drank bottled water to clear her throat. "Because of that, Alen's wing feathers are getting thinner."
Ozi stopped chewing food again. he looked at Kim with furrowed brows. "So, Alen is still channeling his magic power to Ren even though it affects his wings?" Ozi asked in disbelief.
"That's right. Previously, Alen had had problems with his wings. Now, it's made worse because of the channeling of his magic power towards the white wings," Kim said with a sad smile. Meanwhile, Ozi tries to digest Kim's words well
A few seconds later, Kim heard Alen's voice. she stood up and waved to Alen. After Alen landed at the tree planting area, she invited Ozi to come down from the rooftop.
"Who is that big tall man?" Ozi asked, whispering into Kim's ear.
"His name is Toby. he also helped us in the plans we had drawn up," Kim answered without a whisper. So, Tobi who felt called immediately turned to him.
"Hard to believe. Do the black wingers have a tall body?" asked Ozi who was no longer whispering. he doesn't care if Alen and Tobi stare at him.
"Try to stand up straight," Kim ordered. After Ozi stood up straight, she stood before the man. Then, chuckles when he realizes Ozi is shorter than he thought. "You're the short one."
"Oh, shit!" Ozi cursed. Tobi and Alen couldn't help but laugh and pretend they didn't hear.
"You guys have already prepared the ingredients. That means Alen managed to get permission?" Kim asked while looking at the things Tobi and Alen had brought. Such as a sack of cement, paint, large cheeks, also a water faucet. Only the sand is not yet available because they just ordered that day.
"It was very easy for me to get permission. Now, the difficult thing is to make the waterways as we hope," said Alen.
"Hasn't Tobi worked in construction?" Kim asked, looking at Tobi.
Kim is indeed quite knowledgeable about Tobi's family background because he had time to find out from residents. she asked directly the residents who live near Tobi's house. She did that to make sure that Tobi wasn't a criminal. Also because he is always overthinking certain things.
"Oh, you're right. I'm very good at making things," Tobi said confidently.
"I don't know what to do to help," said Ozi, who immediately got a scornful look from Kim.
"You're the stupidest human I've ever met," Kim sneered.
"If your mouth is that rough, how can Alen like you?" asked Ozi without thinking.
"Ozi, shut up!" Kim hissed.
"What did you just say?" he asked. Ozi shut his mouth tightly because he got a sharp glare from Kim.
"Alen, I will apply for a job at an academy with a higher level than before," said Kim changing the subject.
"Is that true? That's great. You have to let me know when you get accepted later," Alen cheered with a big smile. "If you become a teacher at a better academy, your mother won't have to worry anymore."
Kim nodded in agreement with a fake smile. In her heart, she had cursed Ozi for daring to speak nonsense in front of Alen. she glared at Ozi who instead whistled as if he hadn't done anything wrong.
"So you're a teacher?" Ozi asked. This time, he was really curious and couldn't believe it because a woman as rude as Kim was a teacher. Moreover, Kim still looks very young. In fact, he previously thought that Kim was still the same age as Ren.
"Certain. I have the ability to do that," Kim shouted proudly.
"Then you should set a good example for your students," Ozi advised.
"What? Why do you say that? I always do good," Kim said confidently. However, Ozi instead pursed his lips.
"I do not think so. You are an annoying rude woman," Ozi said.
"Hey!" said Kim. Her voice was heard by passers-by. she glared at Ozi.
"I would be very surprised if there was an academy that would accept you as a teacher," said Ozi, which made Kim even angrier.
Kim took off his shoes and threw the object at Ozi. Fortunately, the shoe was missed. However, Kim, who didn't give up, threw another shoe and it hit Ozi's nose. As a result, Ozi fell to the ground with a bloody nose. Tobi and Alen rushed to help him.
"I told you to shut your mouth!" annoyed Kim. She is very upset if anyone underestimates her abilities. When that person does not want to be silent, then his anger will become a powerful weapon to fight. So, no one else would dare to humiliate her.

Ren and Alen discussed the aqueduct they were planning. Luckily, their opinions weren't too different so they could be discussed casually. Every time Ren made a proposal, Alen immediately agreed to it, and vice versa. "Apparently, we have the same taste," Ren said with a chuckle.
Ozi devoured his food while listening to the conversation between Alen and Ren. he really did not understand their conversation. So, he did not join in the conversation at all. "Can you guys not talk about that while you're eating? I think I'm starting to feel nauseous," he protested.
"What do you want us to talk about?" Ren asked with a chuckle.
"Who knows. Maybe it's about the ants that like to march," replied Ozi. Alen looked at him with a flat gaze, while Ren was used to such discussions when he was with Ozi. Ren even smiled broadly at Ozi.
