Ren immediately tried to look at her wings in a panic. Of course, she can't see her own back. "Black? Does it look dirty?" Worried, her wings would look bad.
"No, your wings seem more gleaming," Alen praises, touching ren's wings. Instantly, the girl's wings emitted rays and made him raise his hands from ren's wings.
"Woah! You're getting on my last leg, Ren, "said Kim with an origin. After that, he immediately waved and turned toward her home. For some reason, at that moment he felt uneasy seeing Alen touch Ren's wing.

The next day....
Alen and ren were confused by the apparently more crowded planting of trees. After all, it's the seventh day they're making tree planting. Usually, those who participate diminished by the day.
Kim ran over to them both. "Ren, Alen, tree-planting activities were put to a halt by the stake leaders," she said apprehensively.
"Didn't Alen get permission from the baron?" Asked Ren in confusion.
"I don't know either. Mr. Baron came by with some people to mark the ground so no one would do anything to do anything here," replied Kim. She has been arriving at tree planting since morning to prepare everything to be used for today's activities.
Alen remained silent to see the long cloth surrounding the tree planting site indicating that the site should not be used for any activity. Until finally, his gaze led to the stake leader who walked over to the three of them. "Mr. Baron, why the sudden ban?" Alen asked without further ado.
"Before, I didn't know that you were working with the white wings," the baron replied. He took out a piece of paper that the bodyguard had brought, and then handed it to Alen. "Sorry, Alen. I have to suspend you."
Mr. Baron left after some statements. Meanwhile, Alen scrambled his hair with frustration. Kim and ren looked around with confused faces. They don't know what they can do at a time like this.
Alen passes his views and sees some trees that they've planted with neglected citizens just like that. "Can those trees live without maintenance?"
"I don't know, we can't rely on rain in a dry season like this," Ren replied. She often made trees planted in the village of Aves. In the dry season, they tend trees better so that they do not wither or dry up.
"Ren, should we not also take care of the trees we have planted? "Alen asked ren.
"If the stake leaders forbid us to do anything, we really shouldn't do anything," Kim answered ren's real question.
"That's right. We are forbidden to plant this tree. So all matters involving tree planting were, of course, forbidden: "ren responded to what Kim said.
While busy talking about it, Alen's gaze was accidentally drawn to a young man who had made such a ruckus yesterday, Tobi. He saw the man walking closer. He gave the man a cynical look.
"I told you to stop. Now, all you have done is waste away," said Tobi with a condescending smile. Kim and ren looked at him with a look of contempt.
"You must have made the baron ban our activities, right?" Hisses as he clenched his arms at his side.
"Of course! That is what you should do like a good black wing people." Tobi glared at ren with a smile that does not slip from his face.
"Psycho," said Kim. Ren looked at him in surprise.
Tobi would just burst into laughter after hearing Kim's words. "Hahaha! You guys are crazy! Why do you trust this girl? A winged girl who couldn't fly and was discarded by her own kind," she remedied and pointed to ren.
Then Kim glared as she threw down Tobi's arm. "Shut your mouth. Who did you say was banished?" Said Kim with teeth held together.
"Why are you angry? Didn't that girl just not fly? A useless human-like her doesn't even deserve to be recognized as the Aves like us."
BUGH!
Tobi wiggles his eyes as he stumbles backward because Alen hits his face. Feels salty at the corner of his lips. He spat fresh blood out of there, then looked at Alen whose breath had roared. Without command, he punched Alen in the face for the beating he received.
Alen and Tobi started a fight. Ren and Kim couldn't separate the two of them because they had become so consumed with anger that they didn't listen to the words of the people who tried to stop them both. Passersby gathered to witness the fight between them.
"Oh, my God, why is this happening? Kim, what should we do?" Ren anxiously, still seeing two men fighting. Instead of answering, Kim went flying somewhere, while ren was there confused as more and more people gathered. Alen and Tobi took turns beating one after another.
Shortly thereafter, Kim brought back a sturdy security guard who guarded the neighborhood and immediately separated the two squabbling individuals. Tobi went from there swearing. Ren and Kim, on the other hand, helped Alen, who lay on the ground, to rise up.

Alen winced in pain as Kim smeared medicine on his face, and pressed bruises on his chin and eyes. Kim glared at him which made him afraid to look her in the eye. "I'm sorry, I should've held on to my emotions earlier," she said to Kim.
"Yes! It should be! You know, I hate to see you fight. Remember, you're not a kid anymore!" Annoyed Kim while pressing a stronger compress against Alen's face until the man was in pain. Good thing ren wasn't there. So, Alen's not too shy to be criticized like that. Kim took the small mirror on the table and handed it to Alen and the compress.
Alen looked in the mirror and immediately put on her expression. "My, my beautiful, smooth face. Now, I know why you keep telling me not to fight. I hope it doesn't leave a mark," Alen said, looking at his face through the mirror.
Kim directly plays his both eyeballs. "You think I stopped you because you're handsome?" Kim protested.
