Ozi looked at Alen sharply. he put the food on the tray again. "Want to try it out? Here let me break your hand!" annoyed as he stood.
Ozi swallowed hard when he was right in front of Alen. Alen just raised an eyebrow. He just realized that his height is not comparable to Alen. He also had to look up when he saw Alen's face. A few seconds later, he cleared his throat. "What did you eat to get this high?"
Ren was holding back his laughter because of Ozi's silly behavior. He had always done things that made him look stupid.

Ozi looked at the land that had been planted with trees. Now, he is on the rooftop with Alen. This morning, he was curious because Alen said goodbye to Ren. Out of curiosity, he offered to come along.
Ozi suddenly thought of something while looking at the lined small trees. "You made a deal with Ren, right? Actually, what did you promise him to make him do all this?" asked Ozi curious and surprised. In his opinion, Ren had gone too far.
"She just wants to fly. I helped to make it happen," answered Alen honestly. he sat leaning against the roof guardrail.
"How to?" asked Ozi who turned around to face Alen. However, he was still standing holding onto the roof guardrail. "You've seen how Ren can't fly and is destined to be unable to fly. You are aware of that, right?"
Allen sighed. "I don't want to break her hope."
Ozi crouched down. Staring at Alen's face that seemed to regret something. After heaving a tired sigh, he asked, "Is it by channeling your power into the wings? Do you know how dangerous that would be to Ren?"
Allen didn't answer right away. he looked at one hand while thinking. Before long, he looked at the face of Ozi beside him. "I will be responsible for the influence of the power I have," he said. Ozi also responded to that statement with a lopsided smile.
"What if it fails? What if Ren dies because of your decision? I saw how her wings were blackened. It's ... a symbol of death," said Ozi with a gloomy face. he was sad because of all that already happened. he was disappointed in himself, for failing to prevent that in the first place.
Hesitantly, Alen said, "I will make sure... that Ren stays fine."
Ozi looked at him in confusion. Wanting to believe but worries and doubts still surround his heart. "I'll remember what you said," he said.
Soon, Kim approached the two of them. "Did you purposely invite this hick boy?"
"Why do you always say that?" Ozi hissed as he stood up. he almost got emotional because Kim's words were annoying.
"The more that helps, the better," said Alen in response to Kim's question. Kim nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, what are we going to do next?" Kim asked.
Alen also told about the water that had been said by Ren. After that, Kim also agreed to make several places to make water taps and bought some hoses so that they could be used easily to water the soil that should not be dry.
Ozi goes to the supermarket with Kim, while Alen will ask the Baron for permission to return. Inside the supermarket, Ozi continued to chuckle in awe because he had never entered or even seen a building as big and luxurious as this. "Kim, why is it so cold in the room? Did you guys bewitch this building to keep it cool?"
Kim walked over and put a few packets of snacks into the shopping cart, while Ozi was still waiting for his answer. "We can't use magic power for that kind of stuff."
"Then, how?" Ozi asked curiously.
Kim chuckled, then glanced at Ozi. "You're too stupid to understand my explanation."
"Good grief. I'm asking because I don't know. Why are you even mocking me like that," he grumbled as he continued to follow Kim.
Kim looked back when Ozi suddenly fell silent. Seeing Ozi still behind her, she said, "I'm impressed that Ren learned about the history of the world's destruction. How about you? What did you study at the academy?"
Ozi replied, "Leadership within a region. To be honest, I don't understand because it was my father who enrolled me in the academy."
"It is true. You are indeed a favorite child," Kim sarcastically.
"Is that true? I don't agree with that," Ozi said, patting himself on the chin. "By the way, can we get building materials here?" he asked as he remembered something.
Kim immediately laughed. "We came here to shop for some food. You stupid!" he sneered, then walked to the cashier to pay for his groceries.
"Hey! Stop making fun of me stupid! Annoying woman," Ozi half-shouted. Until the people around him turned to look at him.
Kim paid for her shopping. she was about to leave, but was stopped by the cashier who suddenly asked the question, "Do you have a new boyfriend? Yesterday you guys looked really good together."
Kim and Ozi looked at each other in confusion. "Oh no. he's just a friend," said Kim, pointing at Ozi. Ozi nodded his head in agreement.
Finally, they finished buying some food for later activities. Ozi saw Kim pop her wings. Then, he flew along with Kim. "Are you dating Alen?" Ozi asked curiously.
Kim shook her head. "Not. Maybe... not yet," he replied with a faint smile.
Ozi immediately joined the mischievous smile. "Do you like that guy? What do you like about him?" he asked curiously.
"Huh? Why are you so curious about my private life?" annoyed Kim who began to feel uncomfortable when asked further.
***
Kim and Ozi returned to the rooftop. Turns out, Alen hasn't come back yet. As a result, they had to wait for Alen for a while. They ate the snacks they had bought at the supermarket.
"You also participated in the tree planting process?" Ozi asked, chewing on a snack.
