In the 21st street Downton, the city of Adafast.
There were figures of two children walking down the road together. One of them was a young boy with a demonic appearance while the other was a young girl.
The girl had red hair up to her shoulders along with pure blue eyes like a pearl.
Wherever she gazed it was full of innocence. She had freckles on her cheeks.
These features all combined together to form a cute face of hers.
"Such a loli. I am willing to bet she can entice anyone with the feeling of 'must protect at all cost'. Indeed, I couldn't bear to see her in such anguish back then.", remarked Sargon as if to comfort himself that the decision to intervene back there was not that as a bad of a mistake.
"But alas I couldn't make her leave me alone after the fight. It seems as if she is indebted to me and is following me to ensure that I get proper treatments on my wounds.", exclaimed Sargon.
"Wouldn't I be mistaken for a lolicon if somebody did know what my mental age is? This is just too embarrassing. I couldn't muster the courage to deny her following me. Man, she looked so cute like one of my Cousin sisters back on earth. I couldn't help myself."

Finally, they could see a clear view of the shop. A huge board was hung at the top of the entrance that said "Apollo's Market".
They entered the shop through a backdoor.
"Sargon, is that you?"
"What kind of trouble did you get yourself into? Look at you all bruised up. Who did it to you? Tell me and I will make sure that they will get my Wrath.", said Sofia with a voice full of concern and rage.
Sofia caressed her hands carefully throughout his whole face and body, to see if there are any more wounds, to see if her son is ok.
She was so concerned that she didn't even look at Reeve, as if she had forgotten she was ever there.
Sargon explained everything to his mother.
Although what he had told her was a slightly modified version, so that Sofia could see Reeve in less of bad light.
For which mother wanted her little son to go fight for unnecessary matters. What every mother has as an instinct, is to protect their child from all the injuries and fatalities from the external world.
But Sofia understood it all and was able to gauze what the real scenario might have been like.
For which mother couldn't understand the mind of their 'little' child.
"What you have done is definitely right. But should you go out to make trouble with others in such a matter? Couldn't you solve it in some other manner?"
"Mother, it was indeed my negligence. I am sorry for bringing foreseeable trouble for my family. I am deeply embarrassed myself.", apologized Sargon in a genuine fashion.
"Alright. Alright."
"Be more careful now onwards. As a punishment no chicken soup for the whole month.", declared Sofia.
"ahh!"
"Why that?? Tsk."
There was a gloomy childish expression that could be seen on his face. Finally, a thing that could match his outer appearance.
"But Mother isn't High senator too much of trouble for us? What if he wants to have vengeance for his son?"
"Don't worry about such matters. Let the adults handle this.", smirked Sofia.
Hearing her talk, Sargon could feel that her mother was indeed not thinking of this lightly. But the tension on her face was lower than what Sargon had expected.
"There must be something else going on.", thought Sargon.
Moving her gaze towards Reeve she exclaimed, "Look at her she is even more bruised than you. We must take care of her wounds as well.
"Don't worry! All these wounds would be taken care of. You just have to endure a little bit. To leave such a tiny girl in the hands of injustice, what place has this city come to be. Such a pity.", saying this Sofia cast a healing spell on the bodies of both Sargon and Reeve.
A green hue like light surrounded both of them from top to bottom. Slowly, the light penetrated all their wounds. And wherever the light went the wounds started to heal rapidly so much so that it was visible to the naked eye.
But it indeed caused some minor pains in this process of healing. Nothing was free of cost in the eyes of Heavens. After a couple of moments, all their injury were healed.
"You don't have to feel bad for Sargon. Take it as help from a friend, ok? You are his very first friend. He is pretty introverted so he doesn't get well with other kids that much. Take care of him, for me, will you?", said Sofia in a calming manner looking at Reeve with a loving face.
"Friend ??"
"Yes. You are now welcome to our house as a friend of Sargon as well.", replied Sofia.
Reeve although a child, still had looming feelings of guilt in her conscience despite such a heart-warming embrace of the Sargon&Co.
"Would you be my friend even though you have been hit due to me? Even though I am human?", asked Reeve in a cute childish manner.
"Of course! Matters of the past are ghosts after all. Did you see my mother or me treating you any different way just because you are human? We don't care about matters of appearance. What matters is the heart inside of the person!", Sargon gave a swift reply.
"Heart?", she imitated Sargon and put her hand on the chest in the same manner like Sargon.
"Yes, let's promise to be friends forever then.", saying such things, now he was trying to play with her as he would have with any kid.
"Friends forever.", but for her, it was a more serious promise that would alter the course of her life, forever.
