"... I'm so glad I came out with you."

"So am I."

It was the cry of a child who fell on the ground and cried out that stopped her from looking around for such a long time. As a random voice filled the noisy street, Asher and Aria's gaze also turned toward the sound.

"Argh! My money! My leg! Argh!"

At the direction of the child, rolling on the ground, was a man running away from the crowd like a loach. The man was very quick, even though he was big. He disappeared in a flash within the crowd, and the screaming child was still crying, unable to get up from the dirty ground. No, he tried to get up, but he couldn't. One of the child's slender little legs was twisted in a strange direction. The child seemed to have fallen wrong, pushed by the man's strong power.

"Argh! My leg...!"

The child was injured by a pickpocket, but no one reached a helping hand because the child was so shabby. Aria's beautiful forehead was naturally frowned upon by the overlapping images of herself from such a child.

"Are you all right?"

At that time, he reached out to help the child in haste, but all the child could do was roll on the ground, let alone hold his hand in the pain of his broken leg. While watching all this, Aria bit her lip and hesitated a little then took the hourglass out of the box.

'If the child had lost only money, I would have finished this by giving the child some money...'

It was only a matter of time before a child in such a slum would die if he had a disability. She had seen such a child so many times and was able to decide because she had lost them. Anyways, today's schedule was all about a walk, and most of all, he was around her. If he woke her up again, she could get up somehow.

'So, please, it's not too late.' Aria turned the hourglass back. And time went back, except for herself.

"Lady Aria? When did you take out your hourglass? More than that, why...?"

As he was holding her hand, he suddenly pointed out the hourglass that Aria was holding, but she had no time to answer him. Looking straight back and grasping the child's position, Aria found a dangerous man in a hurry approaching him.

'That's him...!'

She shook off Asher's hand and hurried to push the child back as hard as she could.

"Ouch!"

"... Lady Aria!"

The child, who was suddenly pushed out, rolled on the ground, and instead what remained there was Aria, who suddenly moved violently and gasped for breath.

'What the hell is she?' Because of the sudden turn of events, the eyes of the people were gathered to the fullest extent, and Asher hurried to Aria. The man surprised by her sudden action might have changed his target, but the man had long been gone.

"Are you all right?"

"Why do you ask her that? I'm the one who fell down!"

Compared to being pushed hard, he didn't seem to be hurt, and the child stood up on the ground and screamed. He had a nervous face.

Aria replied with a sigh of relief. "It's okay. I suddenly found a bug, and I was surprised, so... and I'm so sorry to you. This isn't an expensive thing, but it's an apology."
