Yuri ; yaaay ! Clap hands !

Jin ; not afraid I'll chase you out of here ?

Yuri ; lianari will kick your butt if you do.

Jin ; you two became best friends while I was not here .

Yuri ; girl bond ~

Jin : I've still got to say. I'm sorry. Yuri.

Yuri ; eh. I accepted a long time ago. Was a bit afraid of my lodging. But lianari said she needs a pair of eyes . So I can stay forever.

Jin : hmph. Like I need watching.

Yuri: joking. She means Raverie.

Jin : don't know how to get rid of her yet.

Yuri ; not like you can refund her to the emperor. Hi. She's not as violent as lianari. So I like a refund.

Jin ; Raverie is like an insurance. She says we're fine. The Emperor will believe we're fine.

Yuri ; there's also that.

Jin : still wearing that eagle. You must really like the guy.

Yuri ; you've chosen lianari. I have to find someone else. Don't I ~

Jin ; since when ?

Yuri ; don't busybody

Jin : let me see.

She takes it down and lets him take a look. He gives a touch on the molded eagle " pure alloy . "

Yuri ; that's very expensive?

Jin : not easy to melt into such thin strands and make this.

Yuri's eyes sparkled " really?"

Jin : where's this place of knick knacks ?

Yuri ; no busybodying ! I'm not telling you

________________________________

But like Yuri's not telling can stop him from finding out where it is.

Jin enters the shop and takes a look around " boss. Boss ?"

" Coming..." Kyearth wheelchairs out.

Jin ; .... Kyearth. How come you're...

Kyearth: alive? Or in a wheelchair?
.
.
.
Kyearth: I was betting you would only find out in... 10 years.

Jin : really?

Kyearth: other than war and official business , you're mostly clueless about every other thing.

Jin : that's mean. I'm a General.

Kyearth: we studied under the same teacher. Like I don't know you.

Jin : hmph. Kyearth. You haven't told her ?

Kyearth: I know what she's doing. That's enough

Jin : you're not going to show yourself to her ?

Kyearth: no. I have reasons not to.

Jin ; you're never going to show yourself?

Kyearth: when it's time.

Jin ; fine. You're the only one I can't do anything about.

Kyearth: Jin. Has she told you yet ?

Jin ; about?

Kyearth; it's about something she lost during the war. You weren't there.

Jin ; our child ? Bliss.

" so she has... " Kyearth then takes the paper fan on the table and hits him with it " you idiot !!"

Jin ; what ?!! I'm a General you know . You two are the same. Beating me or pushing me.

Kyearth: hmph. If you just used a little bit more brain or been more persistent, she could have been yours earlier.

Jin ; she's still mine now.

Kyearth: how did you remember or notice to look for me here ?

Jin : the pure alloy necklace you made. Making such thin strands of metal. It's a handicraft. Wanted to recruit the maker. Unfortunately , it's you.

Kyearth: haha. Yup. That necklace... I made it to give her. To congratulate her on the marriage. Then ... I remembered I can't really see her now. So ... I gave it away.

Jin ; To Yuri. You wanted to be found.

Kyearth: mistake. I made a mistake. Ok ?

Jin : Kyearth. Made a mistake. I should go buy a lottery.

Kyearth takes his paper fan and threw it at him " leave ! Leave ! I'm not free to entertain you this customer !"

Jin cold laughed and stood up " I'm glad you're alive. Kyearth." And he left.
