My mom was locked up for being berserk.
But that obviously didn't stop events from happening. My stories continues and so did hers.
Once more she gets released , she returned to the mortal plane to meet people she was familiar with. A bet that start...
Tedine looks at araki " you. She chose you? Hmm... I swear sometimes she just does things as it comes. "
Araki ; sorry ? I don't understand

Tedine : so she kept that bow or you kept it ?
Araki ; Miss Nana let me keep it. She gave me a special case to keep it. Said it would not let them think it would be here.
Tedine : can I see it ?
Araki takes out the rectangular flat case . On top of it carved Epocus Antiquities.
Tedine ; oh. I see why now. They caught you the last time. They didn't ask you where the bow was ?
Araki : oh you mean when they kidnapped me. Yes , they did. They seem to already know I became the Golden Bow's owner. I just... Don't understand why they didn't kill me .
Tedine : they kill you, they won't know where the bow went and lose a chance to make you summon the bow. They're not stupid. But you didn't tell them , where it was.
Araki ; they did torture me to make me say. But not as much as I expected I would receive...
Tedine ; hmm... And they used you as bait... Didn't even try to retrieve you...
Araki ; yes...
Tedine ; damn.... No wonder she tagged me.
Araki ; eh ? Who tagged you ?
Tedine ; she knew their target was her only. It would immediately get off her back if she went back to her darling husband.
Araki : sorry who ?
Tedine ; our Miss Nana.
Araki ; you're saying she's more important to kill than me ?
Tedine : don't be surprised. Compared to any achievement in the world, a success to killing her would be a very big achievement. That's her value to them.
Araki ; the minister ?
Tedine ; no. The ones the minister or they employed.
Araki ; wait. Why did they not suspect when they saw my case ?
Tedine : Epocus Antiquities don't only sell antiquities. Anyone worth their salt knows that. It could be a bomb , a trap or whatever. Epocus Antiquities is a Jack in the box. You don't know what you get .
Araki ; oh... I never knew.
Tedine ; your bow and you are not worth their time.

Braidy the minister was yelling " we hired you to get the bow and the owner !!"
Heren ; don't be like that. We had him. He escaped.
Braidy ; they said you could do anything.
Heren ; we did. We did have him. But it wasn't worth it to fight all those people just for a bow and an owner.
Braidy: what do you mean , not worth it ?!!
Heren ; your contract money wasn't worth that much effort.
Braidy ; YOU !!
Heren ; you have men. You could do this. Oh wait. You can't. The king would be suspicious where all the men you've deployed come from.
Braidy ; how much ?!!
Heren ; we do have an unlimited effort contract. The number of men to the number of money. I'm sure you would also understand what happens if you owe money to us right ? Do consider carefully.

Tedine knocks onto the door a few times. Wasn't answered which was weird and this was supposed to be a mansion . Should come with servants.
Tedine ; I know you see me . What are you afraid of ? Nana ?
The door opens.
" and as usual that's the magic keyword . " Tedine let's himself in and he takes a deep breath in " tsk. Not a good time to be alone. "
He walks in further to the living room where Minister Braidy was sitting at the couch. Tedine makes his way to sit at the sofa opposite him " Mr Braidy. Hello."
Braidy : you represent her ? Came here to surrender on behalf of her ?
Tedine ; so that big performance to kill her was you ?
Braidy ; please. I'm not the only one who has it out from her. But if she wants to surrender, I could help her tell the right people.
Tedine ; I see. At least you're honest. So who's behind you ?
Braidy ; I don't follow orders.
Tedine ; sure. I'm going to pretend I believe that.
Braidy :... You're here alone...
Tedine ; I do not appreciated that face.
Braidy stood up from his couch and stepped backwards " you'll be stuck here."
Black strings come out of the floor and a magic circle surrounds tedine...
