"What are you talking about?" Alen asked as he returned to the living room. Kim and ren turned at the same time at him with these incomprehensible gazes. "Am I invincible to Interrupt your conversation? " Asked Alen in doubt. Kim and ren shook their heads in unison. After that, Alen didn't want to bother her about anything they said before she came back from the kitchen.

Alen pointed out the paper contained several paragraphs of scripture. "The deal was you had to help me plant a thousand trees. In exchange, I will teach you to fly."
Ren accepted the paper, then read the inscription one by one. When she finished, she looked at Alen's face with questions. "Plant a thousand trees? It's not easy, Alen. You have to have the permission of the zoning and land leaders."
Noiselessly, Alen nodded his head. Then he walked into a room. A few moments later, he came out carrying some sheets of paper. "Mr. Baron, leader of Aves city. I managed to get his permission."
Ren wide-eyed. "It's that easy? Wait! It can't be that easy. What have you done? Did you bribe him?"
"You don't see how my house is? How can I spend my money?" says Alen. Ren saw the house and shook his head softly.
"So what?"
"I once saved her child in the rubble. " Owing to a debt, he immediately gave me permission, without even looking in the letter I was proposing," Alen explains. A few days ago, he met with the baron to ask about the county leaders. He was surprised to learn that the leader of the Aves city territory was the baron.
"Woah! That's why my uncle always tells me to do good to anyone," Ren is amazed. She looked back at the deal with Alen while she thought.
"Do you agree with the agreement?"
"Deal! "Blurted confidently. Later she signed the agreement with a black pen with a broad smile.
"By the way, why do you want to fly so much? After all, you could go through life without having to worry about what most people are capable of," said Alen, inquiring about what he had long wondered.
Ren sighed. "At first, it was because I longed to see the beauty of the world in the sky as much as most people do. But as it turns out, I still want to fly even though I know this mess. Whatever the reason, I'm not gonna give up on you."

"What? Do you want people to participate in tree planting? "Asked Kim with disbelief. "Are you crazy? We were never taught to grow or grow anything. In fact, our academy wasn't even talking about that. We're all blind when it comes to vegetation! Have you ever seen one tree in this town?"
"Ren will help us learn about plants and trees. Things got a little dicey when I was with him. So I believe I can plant a thousand trees here for the first time," say, Alen, trying to convince Kim to help her.
"Do you trust the stranger? And what did you say just now? A thousand trees? "Asked Kim with a raise in her voice. "You've lost your mind!" Kim let off steam over some crazy idea Alen was saying. Something I never thought would come out of Alen's mouth. She is now getting upset when Alen is discussing, let alone praising ren.
"Kim, come on! You're the only one I can trust to convince people," Alen said with a plea.
"Up to you! " said Kim. She went away without even caring for him. Until finally, Kim was flying farther and farther out of sight. As a result, Alen returned to his home listless.
Alen huffed after opening the door. He saw ren there giving a look to ask. "I knew it, the boy wouldn't help my crazy ideas," she said in a voice of resignation. "I know that she's a very realistic person. But it would be outrageous if she would just snap my spirit like that."
Ren gave a slight smile as he wiped Alen's shoulder. "If Kim won't help, it's not because she wants to break your spirit. Maybe she didn't want you to get hurt when you failed because of your high expectations."
Alen tried to digest ren's words and then said, "you were right that my expectations were too high."
"No such expectation is too high if it can be true," Ren says. Alen immediately looked at him with a serious look. "So don't be too easy to give up," he continues. Alen nodded with a faint smile.

The next day, the city air began to improve. The locals are already starting to come out and do their thing. This is an opportunity for Alen and ren to be able to distribute the brochure and offer passersby the opportunity to join in the activities they are planning.
Ren's offering to each passing citizen. However, no one would stop to receive a brochure in his hand. In fact, some of them just stare at him with strange eyes. Finally, she decided to approach Alen a short distance from where she was." Have many joined us?" He asked with a sad look.
"Only one man," Alen answered usefully.
Ren crouched with a weary sigh. "Alen, should we just cancel everything?" He asked, tossing his own bangs. Alen grabbed ren's hand and tried to pull him up.
"Yesterday, you told me not to give up too easily," Alen said.
"Yup! Now I regret saying it, "he blurted out in desperation on the ground. Never mind the people who stare at him strangely. She was deeply frustrated that her efforts this morning were utterly fruitless. Alen can only breathe in silence.
Suddenly, someone from behind grabbed a brochure from Alen's hand until some were scattered on the ground. Ren was confused by the falling brochures hitting his head. Alen immediately looked back, while ren looked up and saw the person behind him.
"Kim?" Murmured Ren in wonder. Kim smiled briefly at her, then lifted a brochure.
"Attention everyone!" Shouted Kim loudly. Some people simply stop and snuggle after knowing that it is his voice. "Whoever approves the planting of a thousand trees, I will give you a free lesson!"
