In the barracks
Donn: So, what really happened in the dungeon?
Leo: What happened in the dungeon is that the monster got away from us, and we tried to find it. When we found it, the monster was already dead, and we don't know who killed it. But the one who killed it is likely a monster stronger than us. Then we saw that child lying on the ground naked.
Donn and Clara think the same"Why would child is in the dungeon" (thinking)
Donn: Why do you say it's stronger than you?
Irene: Excuse me, I would like to explain that.
Donn: Explain why.
Irene: The monster was ripped apart and then died. Based on the damage it sustained, the monster was hit once, causing its body to rip apart.
Donn: Hmm. So, as you are saying you don't know who killed it, why did you bring a child?
Irene: About that...
Leo: It's because we are the reason why that child almost died.
Donn: So you're saying that the child is a result of your mistake?
Leo: Yes! So we would like to repay him and take care of him.
Donn: glare
Clara: Take care of him?? Do you think I approve of that considering what you've done? It's almost as if your mistake could have killed hundreds of people! And you said that you'll take care of him! If you really care for him, then I will take care of him!
Donn: Hey! That's out of line!
Clara: Why??
Donn: What would people think of you if that child is in your house?
Clara: I know what they would think.
Donn: Then why??
Clara: I was thinking of that boy. What does he look like?
Donn: Do you have a fetish for children??
Clara: Of course not! Hahaha, what are you even saying, Donn?
Donn: Okay. So, in conclusion, you want the child. First, we should ask the child so that we know what happened and who he would go to.
Shino, not knowing anything, became a judge to choose where he wanted to be.
Meanwhile, preparations in the harbor of Calmera. Thirteen days before Deathroit arrives.
Human soldiers are preparing the battlefield, and others are gathering weapons and armor. They are always in the tower to see if the monster passes the Calmera Sea.
Now, let's go back to Shino.
Shino: Why am I here, Miss Irene?
Irene: It's because the Alexandrite Knight and the Red Beryl Knight called you (whispering).
Clara: So this is the child (glaring at Shino) Hmm... (thinking) he's quite cute.
Donn: So, you're really onto a child!
Clara: Nooo! I just wanted a little brother that can be easily taught.
Donn: But you have a brother?
Clara: About that, it's fake news and the truth is that he's just a butler.
Donn: You're such... ugh!
Clara: Wait! I have higher command than you, so why are you arguing with me!? (Angry)
Donn: Even though you have a higher command than me, you can't just take him; it's about the law.
Clara: Hmph!
Shino: Excuse me, ma'am and sir, I have a question.
Clara is shocked and turns to stone upon hearing 'ma'am'.
Donn: Nice one, kid. So, what's your question?
Shino: Why are you close even though you have different levels of command?
Donn: Oh, about that, let's say it's because of the training ground.
